  • In this video I build a bookcase for a local clients media room. This project might look complicated but the assembly of this is very simple and easy.
    Follow along to see how I use this 1 x 12 primed pine, a brad nailer and miter saw to make this 80" x 120" built in.

    Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves ruclips.net/user/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

    Now THIS is how to make an effective RUclips video - no annoying music, clearly articulated instruction, great video angles and clarity. Well done, Sir. As to the bookshelf; beautiful indeed. Looks way more 'expensive' with the wide vertical pillars. Would have loved to have seen it once installed and items on the shelves in your customers house. As to a comment below, yes, a bit of lighting would really add some dynamics to this unit. WELL DONE! Cheers from Canada......

    what i have noticed is that everyone complimented you on the craftsmanship and the tutorial. although those are wonderful and make the video enjoyable to watch, the thing that caught my attention was how you kept saying that you were making everything easier for the painter, as well as the extra details you paid attention to so that the customer was happy with the final product. in a world where customer service is practically obsolete, its nice to see someone who understands the value of it. well done, sir. well done.

    Love it when someone says these types of shelves are really simple so anyone can build them; no they're not. It's only your good work ethic and attention to detail that makes it look easy. The hardest things to make and really look good are the simplest things, with no fancy molding to hide gaps and flaws. Great project. Total respect.

    Awesome job mate.. 👏 I made something similar that took about 7 working days but I sprayed it also and had bottom cabinets on each side with shaker glass doors. One thing I do with making shelves look thick is use 1/2 plywood for top and bottom and flush up a block to fill the void of whatever size shelf I'm making and edge band it. Comes out super clean no miter breaking and it's pretty quick and gives the appearance of one solid piece.

    I made a wall-to-wall bookcase in my office/library. I used a Kreg jig and it made it so much easier to attach the shelves to the vertical panels. I was very happy with it considering I had never made a bookcase before. I really enjoyed your video. You showed all the steps and no annoying high-pitched woman singing in the background. You inspired me to make a similar unit for my living room to surround our TV!

    • @ayl3166
      @ayl3166 5 лет назад

      Also as a hobbyist.... I have always managed with angled corners by knowing the dimensions needed (e.g. 5" inner/outer). Also helps to use stop-blocks on the saw like in this vid.

    I really like your videos they're informative, helpful, and edited well. I just wanted to comment on a safety concern that I noticed. When your using the table saw you should always use a some type of push stick (yours was on the fence). I had a shop teacher in high school Mr. Lamb (I will never forget) that showed us the proper use of a push stick on the table saw, at the end of the demonstration he held up his right hand that was missing half of his thumb. He asked if anyone had any questions. I'm not criticizing you , just addressing a safety concern. I subscribed today, keep up the great work.

    @JusBidniss 4 года назад

    On the horizontal cleats fastened to the vertical members for shelf supports, I've done those too, but one option that sometimes works as well and looks a bit nicer, is to make 2 thinner vertical cleats (front and back, usually 1" wide), fastened to the vertical member the same way. These support the shelf on the 4 corners, are self-leveling (being the same length), the front ones along with the vertical member make a nice 2 3/4" thickness front appearance, the back one blends into the back corner of the 'box' formed, and the layered surface of the end of the 'box' gives an interesting visual line.
