I tell you what I'm a beginner at this and just learned two cool things. #1 seeing your crosscut sled I figured out how I can make one. #2 the way you use your sliding miter saw. Your video taught me a lot but two really cool things...thanks.
Just watched it again for like the 10th time...except that today (Sunday 8/30/15) I'm building a new closet shelves for my daughter and I just want to thank you very much for all the detail explanations - which now today make a whole lot of sense and makes the project look much better..this video is really awesome! Thank you Mr. Peters!!!
Really great looking bookcase Jon. I love how you make your designs so elegant, and dont "overdo" the trim work. looking forward to part 2 / finished product
Jon, Well, I just watched your video from 7 plus years ago. I really enjoyed the design and your step by step instructions. You did not miss anything - it is strong, good looking and very functional. One great video equals one like and one subscription. Can't wait to see more !
Very very nice vid on how you designed and built this bookcase. Great editing too, not a lot of boring shots of you sawing up everything, you mentioned how you did the task, showed us how you did it, on to the next shot, thank you. From Missouri
That is a really nice looking bookcase Jon. While I'm not in need of a bookcase now, I'll keep this video in mind should the need arise. I love the attention to detail you devote to your builds. I am looking forward to how the project will look finished and installed. Too, I enjoyed the outtakes.
Absolutely awesome, Jon! I'm looking to build a bookshelf for someone so they can store some knick-knacks on it. I'm going to follow you build - I only hope it turns out as well as yours did. Love your videos - keep up the awesome work!
Looks great. I love how your artistic eye meets basic cabinet making to produce something outstanding. Both carpenters and artists have a proclivity to overcomplicate things but you have the gift of seeing design with such clarity that the piece is beautiful and interesting in itself without the need for ornamentation or ostentation.
Great looking bookshelf, Jon. My skill set is still in the small case style builds at the moment. That's why I watch your channel, and many others like yours, though - to learn new skills and techniques. Can't wait to see the next videos!! Thanks for producing them!!
G'day Jon, very much enjoyed this video looking forward to seeing the finished product, am always impressed with your presentation Tim. PS: don't let a couple of bee stings make you give up beekeeping just suit up always never take the bees for granted
Great work as usual Jon. I picked up some tips in video so thanks for them. Got a big kick out of your bloopers too. Your videos always look so well put together and easy to follow along to. Funny to see the outtakes. All the best. Looking forward to seeing the finished product ! Bob
Nice quick-and-easy build without looking quick-and-easy. When will we see some stain grade projects? You seem to paint a lot. Maybe just a video on how you'd cover nail holes on something you're dying or staining? Keep up the good work.
Ok...your crown molding skills are amazing!!!! You make it look so easy! Do you have a video on working with crown molding? I would watch it! I would've went through 14' of crown and STILL wouldn't be able to get it. Hahahahah!!!! A video with some of your tips on doing all those inside/outside corners so close together would be awesome! Thanks for the videos!! I always enjoy watching them!!!
***** Love every single video you produce! Thank you, and I hope your face gets to feeling better soon! You mention that it should be better by Friday (today), so hopefully you're feeling better. Have a good weekend.
This is a great idea! I have old furniture. I'm about to get new furniture in few months. I was wondering if I could turn my dresser into a book shelf somehow?
Great video Mr. Peters! Just last Sunday I went with my wife to Ikea to look at some book cases for our living room and although they are not very expensive i much rather build my own, I just wish i knew how. But I think I will give a shot and will definitely start by building a bookcase for my daughter as well. Really enjoy how you work in the molding with the design, it truly makes the project stand out. By the way, why not drill the holes for the shelves prior to putting it together? Thanks!
Great project. I actually just finished your blanket chest for my niece. My question is, what torque setting do you have your drill on when screwing the pocket screws in to avoid stripping the screw hole?
This and the fancy antique mirror frame projects are definitely my favorite that you've done. I just have one question; I got a Kreg jig for Christmas and will be using it to build a bookcase that is a close "riff" on this one. I know Kreg makes wooden plugs to fill in the pocket holes, I didn't see you do that. Do you fill pocket holes? If not, are you not concerned with seeing the rather large oblong holes up the inside of the sides? Please keep the videos coming!
Jon did once I commented on your wonderful projects. Can I ask what kind of wood you are using for this project. Thank you for the answer. Greetings from Bulgaria
Can you make a medium sized stand up dresser? Like a 4-5 drawer one and possibly finish it in a light brown stain like walnut. I want to make one for my room kind of with this concept. I love the way it turned out!
Haha glad you said something about those bees man. I was like wow these videos are really taking a toll on this guy haha. Glad you are doing okay, thanks for a great video.
Great video! Well paced and detailed enough to even give me hope. My one question is: Do you use exclusively polar for face frames, or do you ever use other species? Thanks!

Your daughter is so lucky to have you! I adore the beadboard backing!
+cdefoor125 Thanks!
Your videos are the best. Clear. Concise. Accurate. Precise. Well thought out and shot. These give me hope!
señor peters, usted se ha convertido en una inspiración para mi... gracias por sus videos
Jon it's amazing how your little details make a piece made out of plywood look so elegant. Great project. Thanks for the video.
No matter how many book cases I have made over the years my wife always wants one more! :) Love the bead board for the back! Very sharp!
Chris Pine Always need a bookcase : ) Thanks Chris
Very nice bookcase, looking forward for part 2

Great video. You make it look so simple.. :-)
Jon,

That’s so nice to hear! Thanks Don
Man u nailed that molding!!!! That is a difficult skill to master and the smaller the cuts the harder to match
Very very nice vid on how you designed and built this bookcase. Great editing too, not a lot of boring shots of you sawing up everything, you mentioned how you did the task, showed us how you did it, on to the next shot, thank you.
From Missouri
Your miters and molding is always so amazing!
Thanks!
***** is it just practice? I can't seem to come up with good corners, even on 45° angles.
That's a really nice design. I look forward to seeing it all finished!
man, for me as an amateur this is so unbelieveable ... such a great job !
GREAT project and video, Jon!
John Heisz Thanks John
That is a really nice looking bookcase Jon. While I'm not in need of a bookcase now, I'll keep this video in mind should the need arise.
I love the attention to detail you devote to your builds.
I am looking forward to how the project will look finished and installed.
Too, I enjoyed the outtakes.

GiddyUp994 Thanks Derek
Jon, your work is pretty incredible. I wish you were here in Kentucky!
Thank you
Outstanding as always, never really thought of the trim on the inside really makes it stand out. Love learning from watching your skills at work
Great bookcase. Love the attention to detail.
Absolutely awesome, Jon! I'm looking to build a bookshelf for someone so they can store some knick-knacks on it. I'm going to follow you build - I only hope it turns out as well as yours did. Love your videos - keep up the awesome work!
Thanks Rob....go for it
You made it look so simple. Thank you for this beautiful and informative video Jon! Wish you well. You are doing a fantastic job!
exploros Thanks
Nice build. All the little molding details really makes the difference.
Thanks Marty
It turned out beautifully. Great work!
Thanks
thanks... I'm actually not buying anything that's wood and just doing it by myself with your help.. I love the trim work..
Very nice and well crafted. Thank you for making the video.
Looks great. I love how your artistic eye meets basic cabinet making to produce something outstanding. Both carpenters and artists have a proclivity to overcomplicate things but you have the gift of seeing design with such clarity that the piece is beautiful and interesting in itself without the need for ornamentation or ostentation.

MP Woodworking Thanks Man
I love your video. What size wood did you use for the face frame and
This is a great idea! I have old furniture. I'm about to get new furniture in few months. I was wondering if I could turn my dresser into a book shelf somehow?

Really enjoy how you work in the molding with the design, it truly makes the project stand out. By the way, why not drill the holes for the shelves prior to putting it together? Thanks!
Michael R Hi Michael, sure you could drill the holes first really up to you. It's a simple build just take your time and you should have no problem.
nice simple and classy design I really like it. Do you plug the pocket holes afterwards or just leave them open ?
Thanks I just left them open
Great project. I actually just finished your blanket chest for my niece. My question is, what torque setting do you have your drill on when screwing the pocket screws in to avoid stripping the screw hole?
Thanks, I'm using an impact gun and I just go by feel
very nice work!
Looks a little tall for your little girl. Great looking book case. Thanks for video.
good point, might need to build a ladder next : )
I enjoyed your video what size wood was used at the beginning
This and the fancy antique mirror frame projects are definitely my favorite that you've done.

If not, are you not concerned with seeing the rather large oblong holes up the inside of the sides?
Please keep the videos coming!
Thanks Michael, you really don't see them once things are in the cabinet, but yes you could fill them with the kreg plugs
Hey Jon nice work. Can´t wait to see it painted and all set up. Greetings from Germany :)
Jon did once I commented on your wonderful projects. Can I ask what kind of wood you are using for this project.
Thank you for the answer.

Well I'm subscribed so I hope to see it in my feed one day! Haha thanks
Haha glad you said something about those bees man. I was like wow these videos are really taking a toll on this guy haha. Glad you are doing okay, thanks for a great video.
Great piece.
Tristan Wilton Thanks Tristan
I was just wondering why u didn't use pocket holes for the bottom too? great videos, I think u do fantastic work
Great video! Well paced and detailed enough to even give me hope. My one question is: Do you use exclusively polar for face frames, or do you ever use other species?
Thanks!
Thanks Marvyn, I like poplar for painted projects
Simply amazing!
