I've been trying to design a bookshelf to cover a 12 foot section of a wall. With all my books I was trying to figure out how to make it strong enough with wood to handle the weight. Then I thought maybe I could build it out of square extruded steel. So RUclips had the answer and of course it can be done and it can look great doing it. Now I just need to learn to weld. Thank You
Beautiful! I made something similar but with 1/4” thick x 3”x3” angle iron (heavy stuff). It’s bigger than this shelf but I made it with all steel 2,000lb rated caster wheels. The shelf holds full ammo cans from top to bottom with various ammo calibers. It’s in my garage and moved freely when I need to move it away from the walls and whatnot and for whatever reason. Primarily, because the wall it sits up against has some 240v electrical outlets I need access to and my home water pressure regulator piping sits there as well. If I have to access that stuff, I just roll that “tank” of a shelf out of the way. I welded it all up with 7018 1/8” stick electrodes. I’ve since made two more for my brother and a buddy of mine. They just paid for the materials, scotch and dinner! 😛
Great! Would be very helpful to the viewer to see the final product at the beginning of the video, too. To know what we will see being built. Show more of the finished product at the end, too, it's beautiful and we want to look at it in detail!
Happy to see a new projects of yours !!!!! I really enjoy the video and i m thinking that this bookcase will look much better to my house , i can accept as a gift hahaha , Very nice job indeed !!!!
just found your channel, this is exactly the kind of work I like and would love to get into building. just subbed to you here and IG. going to binge watch most of your older vids to catch up lol
Another awesome project, buddy, great job! I've been a fan of yours for a while and your work has a big influence in my builds. Keep up the great work. You will probably see some of your techniques in some of my videos. (your bandsaw scraping is in an upcoming video I'm editing now, should be out soon). Thanks!
Prep work consisted of wiping it down with acetone to remove all the grease and oil. After applying and waiting the desired amount of time I rinsed with water or wiped down with a water soaked rag. I think a lot of it comes down to the finish you want. How uniform, dark, etc. yes, I applied a clear satin top coat which makes it look much better. Good luck!
Excellent build and awesome looks! (btw, there something glitchy in the audio when you speed up the video, nothing major, just letting you know it's there)
Does your Dewalt Saw use carbide blades offer. I bought a new Saw and the tip have broken off of many parts of the blade . I haven't had the Saw a year yet
Hey Kirk Frei, yes it is. I love it. I started with the original 30 and got the 45 for increased Cut depth and speed. No idea what the specs are on the 30 and 45 XP's, I'm sure they'll make me jealous though!
A Modern Maker Not sure of all the upgrades on the 45xp, it does cut thicker material by maybe 1/8" and I think it auto adjusts air pressure, might have some other things also. Really only need the 30xp plus it runs in 110v but the 45 is set up for cnc, just a dream as there pretty pricey

Luv it! Beautiful job!
Thank you Casey G!
Nice !!!!
Thanks WoodyWoodworker Fuller!
Did you skip all the annoying prep work suggested by Sculpt Nouveau and it still looked that good?? Any rinsing or too coat afterwards?
Prep work consisted of wiping it down with acetone to remove all the grease and oil. After applying and waiting the desired amount of time I rinsed with water or wiped down with a water soaked rag. I think a lot of it comes down to the finish you want. How uniform, dark, etc.
yes, I applied a clear satin top coat which makes it look much better.
Good luck!
*After applying the Black Magic
linda ficou,eu sonho com uma dessas na minha sala , qual e o valor?
Top top top
Awesome
Thank you.
EXCELENTE MAESTRO
Gracias Angel Roberto Sánchez Pérez
Boss work subbed
Philly Lazono, thanks I appreciate it.
What's the front-to-back depth? I have a couple of fishtanks I'd love to put on something like that, but I'm not sure they'd fit securely.
I think it was about 14" but you could build it to any dimension for the fish tanks.
What did you spend on the iron part for him to shine?
What do you mean?
Buenas tardes que medidas tiene ya terminado gracias
do you know how much it could cost for a company to do this work for a client?
No idea. I’d guess $300-1000 depending on the company and how custom it is.
Hey man you should do what some other silent youtubers to, which is say what you're doing inside the captions... Would be cool!
+1500lego Thanks I'll keep that in mind!
Nice man
Thank you.
Hello @A Modern Maker
, could you say what is the name of that tool that you use to make the joints between woods? Thank you!
That’s a Festool Domino joiner.
A Modern Maker thx bro!
Hi, what do you finish the mild steel with?
Sculpt Nouveau Black Magic with a Rustoleum satin clear coat on top.
Nice job. Where do u buy the black stain or whatever that was you were putting on the metal?
Thank you. It’s Sculpt Nouveau Black Magic. They sell it on their website.
Excellent build and awesome looks!
(btw, there something glitchy in the audio when you speed up the video, nothing major, just letting you know it's there)
+Armilar Zifferblatt, Thank you! And thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to look into it.
nice build!! what did the finish product weigh?
Thank you! Probably around 70 lbs
Qué bonita!Yo quiero una igual! How much?
Gracias! I didn’t build in to sell...
A Modern Maker. it was a joke
🤣
Oh ok. Haha
Hi, how are you ?. You would tell me what measure it has. very good job greetings.
Is there any way to buy the frame without having to weld it together myself? I don't have this skill
At this time I don’t have time to sell any. Possibly in the future!
Can I ask, what are you using to weld it?
Should be in the description. But it’s a Lincoln MP210 I believe
Great job, hey bro it's weld machine "H" is good ?
H as in Hobart?
Top di mais. Parabéns.
Does your Dewalt Saw use carbide blades offer. I bought a new Saw and the tip have broken off of many parts of the blade . I haven't had the Saw a year yet
Yes. Have to cut slow and steady to save the teeth.
めっちゃかっこいいです
Nicely done, but it won't work for me. I have a lots of books and the spaces are too big!
That’s a great problem to have 👍
Also, what is the tool called that you're using at the 3:45 mark? Just the general type of drill
It’s a Festool Domino. Similar to a biscuit joiner.
What size square tubing did you use?
1 1/4?
1.5"
did you use normal metal or galvenized ?
Normal
Nice build, is that a Hypertherm Powermax 45, how do you like it. I'm looking at the Powermax 30xp or 45xp. Thanks
Hey Kirk Frei, yes it is. I love it. I started with the original 30 and got the 45 for increased Cut depth and speed. No idea what the specs are on the 30 and 45 XP's, I'm sure they'll make me jealous though!

Kirk Frei I agree. I bought both the 30 and 45 on Craigslist at less than half retail price after months/years of daily checking.
beautiful work. I've subscried to your channel.
+Diego Basterrica Thank you!
Slick build. Sub'd. Cheers.
Thanks!
It looks really good. Past what I did. Can you look at it? I built a table;)
What thickness metal did you use?
.120"
awesome video! if it helps anyone press the gear on the vid and 1.5x the video speed
Thanks!
Taking notes...
what were the dimensions of the metals?
1.25” square, and 1/2” square tubing. The rebar was about 3/8” diameter.
Do you recall the wall thickness of your 1.25" square tubing?
I don’t recall offhand. I know it was less than 0.120” but not the thinnest available.
A Modern Maker awesome. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Do you have the list of materials ?
No I don’t, sorry. Hopefully in the future!
At 4:51 what do you apply to the wood ?
I applied stain. Early American I believe.
