  • This is the completed library built in shelf project that I have been working on for a while now. It was a fun project. A follow-up video will be posted for a step by step tutorial on the entire project. The cabinet bottoms are pre-built from Lowes with spacers in between to give it a custom built in look. Baseboard and crown molding was also included for built in look. The shelves were built with 3/4 inch birch Plywood and 1x2 Poplar for the fronts. The decor was done by my wife and she used the triangle method to increase aesthetics.

    OSB is amazing, I made an outdoor step(just piece of osb screwed to 2x6 box frame) leading into my shed. It isn't sheltered from the weather in any way...snow, sleet, rain, ice and/or blazing sun. That was 14yrs ago! Its still going strong. Great shelf build, thanks for sharing! 1:34

    Great design and video -I was curious about the caulking used on the shelves before painting. Silicon acrylic latex? I also was a little mystified as to how you installed the led lighting wires. They're a great touch for a library. And yes, you need more books - this is more like a display case! Thanks - this is inspirational for our library room. ;-)

    Wow! Great job. Love the idea of the strip lighting! I want one of these for our living room with space for my husband tv in the center. Never thought of putting lighting under the shelves. Very cool! Love the tip for the Lowe’s cabinets too. Definitely what we need for storage. Thanks!

    Hi Paul,
    I just wanted to say Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial video. It was incredibly detailed. I was able to replicate this project (minus the lights), step by step, by myself, in 4 weekends. I spent about $1500, which does not include the power tools I already own (lumber is expensive!).

    I noticed you used the shelves for display mainly, with not a lot of weight on them. Do you think using just wood screws to attach the shelves is enough if they are to be used as bookshelves, or would a dado in the side walls be better to provide more support?

    @TranTheClever 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Stan, when I was hanging cabinets in my shop I had an occasion to hang two side by side like the two in your shed. I turned the left one upside down so the the door was hung on the left side making them open in the center. The shelves were uneven between the two of them but who would notice, or care? I loved the acorn bit. Kids! 3:27
