"Life is demanding without understanding" ... now it's stuck in my head ...lol thanks Emily... this is a great video and I was able to follow along with you without a lot of anxiety. Very nice piece. And 💕💕🐶🐶
I am now singing it again! I had so many moments where I kept thinking Ace of Base when building the base. I was going to use an ace from a playing card deck but realize I don't own one anymore. I need to resolve this... Thank you Mrs Jax!! 😊
My saying is “Attitude with Gratitude”💜🌷💜. My attitude for gratefulness!!!! Been in a bad place since Covid first came out-I am a RN-it was bad. Bad. It was bad!! I never heard so many “Codes”called in 1 day and then continuously called for weeks!!! CPR needed-etc!! I’m back to me and very Hummbled by ppl I’ve never met thru furniture restoration!!!! Y’all saved me. So grateful💜🌸💜
@@cathyjackson5959 this is wonderful.. I was a paramedic and completely understand. I have physical disabilities now and have to work at a desk job. But I hope to get into furniture... more than just a hobby
@@ReconstructingEmily I'm a new subscriber, Emily and I have to say, you are not only a talented and skilled restorer but you are also very funny and I appreciate that! 😆 Your dog is so cute too!
I love this straightforward easy to follow tutorial. Thanks for covering all the bases. ( in my head 🎶 “it’s all about that base, bout that base, no treble 🎶)
So glad I came across your video, it makes things so easy to follow. I am a beginner for making a base so want to know how do I align dowel holes for the legs & the rail? Thanx
OhMyGoodness!!! I love no tape measure!!!! I hated math in school but got up to Calculus!! I’m a bit dyslexic with numbers!!! Sooo I absolutely Love this!!! I have a bookcase that sits on the ground and want some height to it!!!! I Love your poems by the way❤️🌹❤️ I crackled it in the 90’s so got a bit of work to do!!! Thank you Emily💜💫💜
I loved math but hated geometry. Love building but hate measuring.... I have similar issues with numbers. Thank you for your awesome and kind words Cathy 😊 Seriously put a smile on my face.
@@ReconstructingEmily Fantastic💓🌻💓This may put a bigger smile on your face-I use dry eraser marker on my measuring tape!!! LOL. Who does that?!? Me. Have a Wonderful day!!!!🌷🦋🌸
@@cathyjackson5959 I have a tape measure that you can write on with dry erase marker's as well. And it has each measurement actually numbered at each dash.
Ooh, to boldly go...😄 I appreciate that you didn't just take the easy way and order legs for this. My better half tends to use instict and fly this way! It has served us well.
Hey Emily, great video! I noticed you were drilling your pocket holes with the torque setting on your drill set at 1. That is for screwing, so you may have noticed it was slow and difficult to drill those holes. When you are drilling, you want to slide it to the 2 setting. That’s for drilling and will be much easier. Also, using a stop block on your miter saw will help you get repeatable accurate cuts when cutting legs and aprons. Hope these tips help! Love your content!
Funny story. I always read manuals (because I am that person), and it says drilling just move it to the drill setting and done. But now reading this I am like This makes a lot of sense lol! Thank you! I am sure I am going to do this next time and wonder where this setting has been my whole life! Also great tip with the stop block! Thank you Yvette!!
THis looks so nice! The proportion of the leg size to the cabinet is just right. I like your way of making the base - I don't like measuring so I do this kind of thing a lot 🤣
Love this! It turned out really great, love your skills when it comes to making bases and legs! I flip furniture too and only made one base so far and looking on others ways to make them, this video was perfect for this
I probably overengineered it but I would rather it last 😊. I have an idea for a front and back only base build too but havent found the right piece for it yet.
I like the use of the dowels instead of the pocket holes . Now I’ll have to get the dowel jig as this seems less intimidating to me. I do rhyme though quite a lot but it’s not flowing now lol .
What happened to "Measure twice, cut once"? LOL I need some tall shelf units like that in my new apartment. Since I don't own a pick-up, I'm not sure how I'm gonna make that happen. :/ Thankfully, it's not an emergency. ;) Nice job on the reconfigure.
The book shelf fit in my Rav4, but I am not sure it would fit in a car. When I want something a bit taller I look for units that are two parts so I can transport them. I have also considered renting a Uhaul if I found enough things to justify it in a day. Most thrift stores in my area will hold items until you can pick them up with payment. I do wish I had a truck through. There are so many things I haven't picked up because of it. Thank you Noralee!! 😊
@@ReconstructingEmily I hear you! My next car may be an SUV or pick-up, although they comes with their own issues - as in all the people like us who need a truck to move things! ROFL Not to mention the price of gas these days. Yikes!! :o ;)

I found myself saying,
" More cowbell!" And singing along with Ace of Base. Good times, good times. Great job!
Probably my favorite SNL skit! Thank you Adriana!
Such a great job! 💚
Thank you!! 😊
Dowels! Yes! Like real furniture! This looks beautiful and the base looks as if it’s always been part of the bookcase.🌸
Thank you Deborah 😊
You went back to the old way of making furniture
Yes! Thanks Kathleen! 😊
Cool idea adding legs, whooda thunk!!!!
OMG Emily! Now I'm humming that tune!!!!!!🤣
Ear wormed! 😆

I love this straightforward easy to follow tutorial. Thanks for covering all the bases.

Haaaa! Because you know it is all about that base! And shelf storage! ❤️

What a difference.
This was very enjoyable to watch. The final result is beautiful.
Thank you Holly ❤️
I immediately went a bought a dowel jig after watching this (and the shop towels) really looking forward getting to play with it.
Woo! Definately a useful tool to have!
Seriously though, Ace of Base - Happy Nation was the first album I ever bought. Great video, as always!
That was a good first album to buy! ❤️
Andersonville, Tennessee here! Excited!
Nice, the base suits it 👍
Thank you!! 😊

@@MrsJax304 LOL🌹It’s me and my dyslexia that would mess up transcribing to a piece of paper!!!! I’d switch at least 2 numbers!!! Ugh!!!💓🌸💓
You just have such a knack for picking what to turn a piece into. ❤️
And also, ice, ice baby is now stuck in my head, so thanks for that 😆
Hahaha! You are welcome 😀
@@ReconstructingEmily 🤣
Your channel just showed up on my feed so i am binge watching you. I’m a fellow refinisher-restorer myself. 💗👍🏻
Yay! Glad you found me! 😊
Beautiful job Emily! I love to watch your video's an appreciate your talent.
Thank you Karen! 😊
I wanted to use dowel when assembling my pieces, but I didn't know which jig to use, now I do Thanks Emily
The self centering part makes things a lot easier!! Happy to help 🙂
That turned out great.
Thank you Christi! 😊
You are one talented lady!
Awe Thank you! Still so much to learn and do!
Another beautiful piece Emily 🥰 the base is stunning and does look like it was always there!
Thank you 😊 ❤️
Wow! You made that look so easy. I love the dow idea!
Thank you Tracy! 😊 ❤️
Excellent job. Wish the piece was mine
Thank you Christine! A truly neat find - I have never seen a book shelf or drawer topper with drawers in it until this piece.
I love love love this Video Sooo helpful Emily and this Shelf came out absolutely gorgeous. .nice work... outstanding 🥰👍❣️
Thank you Debra! 😊 I am happy to hear it is helpful.
Ooh, to boldly go...😄 I appreciate that you didn't just take the easy way and order legs for this. My better half tends to use instict and fly this way! It has served us well.
Sometimes its better to just wing it together, but only if its structurally sound! I like the lack of numeric restrictions. Helps me think clearer. 😊
Beautifully Done, Emily!
Thank you Terri!
Another winner! I learn something with every video :)
Thank you JB!
Gorgeous base! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for watching Sophia!
It's fabulous Emily
Thank you Emer 😊
Nice. Simple and effective 😊
Thank you 😊
Looks wonderful! Great job.
Thank you Laura!!

Woo! Thank you! This is also useful if you can't find 1 of 6 tape measures you own 😀
@@ReconstructingEmily ha ha tell me about it!
Nice work Emily.
Thank you Joseph!
Thanks for sharing your process. You did make it look very easy. I think i could handle making some if i need too. Beautiful piece too!
I think you could very easily do it! ❤️
Really nice, Emily!
Thank you!! 😊
Love this! It turned out really great, love your skills when it comes to making bases and legs! I flip furniture too and only made one base so far and looking on others ways to make them, this video was perfect for this
Thank you Mylene I am glad you enjoyed it!
Love that base, it looks like it's always been there. That walnut too 😍 Also, I like that you made this 4 sided. It'll be super sturdy!
I probably overengineered it but I would rather it last 😊. I have an idea for a front and back only base build too but havent found the right piece for it yet.
I like the use of the dowels instead of the pocket holes . Now I’ll have to get the dowel jig as this seems less intimidating to me. I do rhyme though quite a lot but it’s not flowing now lol .
I know the feeling! Sometimes you're dowel and out, and other times you're dealing - with a rhyme drought! 😀
Nice job, looks great. 🤞for 10,000 soon!! 😊
Thank you Gail! 😊
You're awesome, as usual. BTW, our apri-cut tree is already starting to burst! Should be a good crop this year!
Ooo! That sounds amazing. Fresh apri-cuts are wonderful ❤️
And apri-cut jam... Yes.
Nice!
Thank you Dana!
Hi WWW, nice work! The cowbell reference 🤣🤣
Hehe Thank you!
@@ReconstructingEmily im actually watching a video right now that's discussing "cowbell". Hilarious!
@@BB.halo_heir Some might say you just needed more cowbell 😀
@@ReconstructingEmily lol you always need more cowbell! 😆
@@ReconstructingEmily ok now you said "some might say", and that just starts a whole Oasis thread! Love Oasis 💘
I found you on the Lincoln St one year live stream on IG. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching and checking out my channel! I am very grateful😊
Wow, I just found you again. Somehow I got removed from subscription. I definitely love watching and learning from your videos. Happy Spring

I don’t like it. 🙈 It doesn’t look cohesive. You should paint the book shelf. Just my opinion. 😬 Love you videos though.
