I've always built my own shelves for my blu-ray collection (I have over 2000 titles) and I never like flat-packed store bought shelves as they never seem to full use the space the shelf is going to be standing in. Recently I've been looking at some inspiration for a new shelf as I've moved houses, this this was a helpful video 😊
Haha, thank you :) I think he's so removed from DVDs these days as he's been paying for monthly streaming services over the years. This DVD shelf is totally for me 😄
A part 2 video ? You have more ? Lol this was such a fab build thanks hunee .. love that I could follow this so well and make one should I need to xxx thanks ❤❤❤
Thanks Claire :) Yes, we have one last storage box full of DVDs, but knew I couldn't make a corner shelf as they'd block access to some. So it'll be nice to make one more for somewhere to match. And glad it's very easy to follow 😍
This will really help me were I have way more DVD's than that it should still apply in some manner mine will have to be taller and longer but it should still work out thank you for posting this video
I am sitting here smiling because when you showed the finished product in the beginning I already saw the Domino going in my mind (I know you don't have one) but this video has proven that those simple joinery methods are totally fine.
My DVD shelves are going to look very similar to that. It's funny that you mentioned pocket screws because my dad offered to loan me his jig. I think what I'm going to do instead of pocket screws or brackets is some shallow dadoes with a 1/4 inch plywood panel screwed on the back. This would let me disassemble it later as well as prevent the DVDs from contacting the wall. Great use of that landing! Makes me wonder what that nearly useless landing is there for anyhow. I lived in my grandfather's house for a while after he passed and sometimes I would see something and have to scratch my head. Then I'd call my dad, the historical architect, and his only insight would be, "That's the way your grandpa would do things." Big help, Dad.
Ooh, love the idea of dadoes too :) Although I think I want to buy a router table soon to try them. And yes, I'm curious what this landing was built for. It's rather odd as it leads nowhere and not enough room to walk down if there's thing on it.
Perfect timing for this video. Looks like a good winter project. I'll tackle this along one side of our garage to start and then probably along the garage door side afterward. Will probably swap in some 2x4s, but I definitely like the simplicity of the design (it works really nicely for 10' ceilings). Might throw on some stain (or just paint) to dress it up a notch! 5:12
Nice project . One thing I would have done differently for the supports is used dowels instead of angle brackets. No need for a jig just line up and mark out . You can dry fit and still take apart the unit if need be.
Thanks for the tip :) I do have some dowel pins too, but never used them as assumed they'd annoy me... although always use that as an excuse to procrastinate 😂
Great timing. I was on the verge of pulling the trigger on some Wickes timberboard (for the purposes of a DIY pencil / art supplies drawer unit), and wasn't certain if the quality of the timber was up to par. Looks great, and I've picked up some much needed woodworking reminders in this video. Cheers!
Hi enjoyed your video, not seen your site before, but I am glad that this one came around just at the right time. I was wondering how to build a place for my CD's and the odd DVD. Looks like I will give your build a try. Thanks.
This looks like an awesome project, especially since I can adapt it to build shelving for CDs, and vinyl records. Thanks for the video, hints, tips and inspiration! I also now know where to buy my timber from, given I've had no or little success with other similar DIY stores.
Greetings from Alabama. Please don’t think me crude; I mean this as a compliment. You have such pretty hands for any woman, but especially for one who works with them as you do! I can sand a six-inch piece of 2X4 and mine look like a cat tore them up. 😬 Love your vids. Thanks!
Great job; great video. I need to build one of these and this is EXACTLY the way I want it, just different dimensions. About 6ft. (180cm)wide x 5ft. (152cm)high. I'll probably add a rear panel for function and stability. Thank You for the abundance of information. I'm now subscribed to your channel. 👍👏📐
Well done, nice project. I liked the b n q measuring tape in wickes promoted video. Later it was changed to a yellow one. Love your videos. All the best carpenters daughter 😊
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK same story. I am worse as I always loose my ikea/screwfix pencils and find them during another project. Anyways, your videos are inspiring. I am pretty much in the same boat like you....loving the pain of living in a project house.
Yep... pencils too 😂 This house has been a great blessing in disguise, teaching me so many skills 😊 The rewards after challenging yourself is an amazing feeling!
I've watched this video a few times and I'm finally ready to try something similar to this. I'm going to attempt a cubby for my kids' toys using the same methods here. Eventually I'm going to do a larger DVD/ game shelf based off your design, too. I also want to say that as an American, trying to understand the difference in some terminology has been interesting. As well as seeing brands we don't have here.
Great video! And I like your instructions too. Though I'm in the states, I find it easier to use metric measurements. You always post good stuff. Thank you!
Hi Vikkie, I went to primary school with you, you have been a busy bee! I found this video purely by chance whilst looking at DVD storage solutions, and that looks really good, well done 👍🏻
Hi Ian! Hope you're well! Yes, I remember you :) Although I am VERY sorry I used to nudge your arm at the dinner table when you'd try and eat... I remember the older kids egging me on and me getting told off by the dinner ladies haha.... and the time you put custard in your trouser pockets 😂 I never seem to remember the more important things in life(!) Hope you get a DVD shelf sorted :D
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK There's many more things to do before I can think about building storage for DVD's! I do remember the nudges but not the custard thing, maybe something to ask my Mum, but thank you for telling the world that I thought putting custard in my pockets was a great idea, I won't hold it against you 🤣
Nice to see someone who owns some DVD's hope you have some CD's too unfortunately our Whippet chewed a lot of our DVD's when he was a puppy, still have a few left though, Happy Christmas.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I have watched a lot of mysteries and cop shows and historical documentaries. I may be full of crap but it seems I've heard that quite often.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Well let me try this again it didn't work the first time. I have watched a lot of mystery and cop shows also many documentaries. I can't be specific as I forget TV shows about 30 minutes after I watch them. It may have been on generic shows. How is dimensional lumber defined in the UK I assume its in mm. Is it still 2" by sizes ?
i like watching your videos brillant tips i like the way you use the handsaw am left handed and cant cut to straight with it plz could you do a video to help
Thanks! I'll let you know when I've mastered it too 😆 I tend to cut on an angle without knowing, so if it's a really important cut, I use a circular saw or mitre saw
good choices, indeed ( i just recently mentioned breakfast club to someone else on youtube....and also saw and bought the movie poster someplace last month...i sense a theme developing here 😂 ).... i'll add to that _ferris bueller's day off,_ and my favorite 80's movie, _back to the future._
Well, that's a right smart lookin' open media storage type apparatus you have there. All that's needed now is to slap on a coat of your favorite whitewash and it'll be all prettied up. Thanks for the Vid it was swell.
Your videos always seem to come out at the same time as April Wilkersons videos and literally right behind hers in my notifications...coincidence??? I think not..lol
Haha, nah, I doubt it. She doesn't really know who I am, other than I briefly met her at Makers Central and there was a queue of people lined up to meet her too 😂
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK makemkv is easy and quick also does bluray 👍👍👍. You could just use something basic like a my cloud 6 or 8tb normally around 200£ or go down the route of a synology 4bay nas but that's a lot more expensive but you can use plex this way. Just have a Google.. As am not an expert 😂😂 just done it myself. All the best
No, I haven't needed to :) Although you might have noticed (if you look close enough) I propped up one side a little with a bit of cardboard as I found the far left window was taller than the right so did this for aesthetics.
After finishing this successful project why pick "groundhog day", you could have ended up starting the whole project from scratch, ha, ha! Save "groundhog day" for when a project goes wrong and you wished you could start again, ha, ha! I know someone who tried making something like this when he was collecting VHS video's, by the time he'd finished it he was collecting 4k blu-ray's, lol!
Don't drive on the railroad tracks 😂 That is our air conditioning unit, but it also blows hot air and have set it on auto to regulate the temperature. It's brilliant and glad we had it installed and it's cheap to run :)
Great video👍 You are like my daughter. She can pull-off projects like that, easily, I wish more men would be like that also, unfortunately some men I know are not very handy and that bothers me, as it is indispensable being handy and knowing how to operate tools to make things, especially when you own a home and have a family. I did something similar recently by repurposing some older white shelf cabinets. If I have time I will post a video of my unit on my YT channel, mine looks pretty custom made as one single 15Ft wide 8" deep, 24" tall cabinet with a 15Ft wide 12" deep 2" thick Pergo Laminated floor mantle made from a 2"thick high density foam base.
Lovely job n, ol but dvd's one tiny little NAS box in the back of a cupboard and you can have thousands of media files streaming through plex. Im not trying to knock you in any way shape of form i just don't get the whole collecting dvd's thing.
Maybe so, but it's designed for a specific area of a house. Plus it can be taken with them if they move house. And the ones made at a Swedish store are not of this quality.

To copy an English term "brilliant" a great use of essentially wasted space. You might want to pick up set of "nail sets" for those finish nails.
Thanks :) I didn't know brilliant was a British term 😝 Once I've used up all these massive oval head nails, I think I will 😊

Forget "Bottom" you should watch "Filthy, Rich and Catflap".
Apparently we do have it on the shelf! Although I can't remember watching it 🙈😝
Somebody likes quality comedy, I'll be even more impressed if you've got "Operation Good Guys"
Ooh, I've never heard of that, but my husband said he's watched it. He seems to think it's a Baby Cow production?
Very nice but nearly £90 on timber alone 😮
Thanks. Well, you could make it with MDF or plywood (the latter I think is equally as pretty once Danish oiled) :)
Maybe so, but it's designed for a specific area of a house. Plus it can be taken with them if they move house. And the ones made at a Swedish store are not of this quality.
DVD?!? What are these Digital Versatile Discs you speak of?
Buy a NAS. Put DVDs in garage.
Orrrrrr..... just subscribe to NETFLIX :)
move into a house
The entire library would fit on an SDD. It's all a waste of space. The 90s are over. I know, right?
