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 th-cam.com/users/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 TH-cam 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......
Winner of a video, I have been researching "build your furniture" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Venoffison Wooden Exploration - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.
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.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
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.
totally agree; he knows what he is doing and is very meticulous as you need to be for everything to line up. He makes it look simple, but until you try to make the cuts fit as his does, it is difficult to appreciate how challenging this can be.
Probably the best "floating shelves" video I've seen. Thank you for using tools the rest of us can also use, instead of tools and setups that cost thousands of dollars. 4:43
Im so glad this exists. I am the same way when it comes to building. I make sure everything I need is clearly detailed and measured a dozen tomes over so I cut the minimum amount, conserve materials and save myself time. Thank you for the CRYSTAL CLEAR instruction
Outstanding build, you continued to show that your project was obtainable by many of us. It was a pleasure to see you using a common brand of equipment that wasn't necessary on the higher end of the price tag. You are definitely a Journeyman with your craftsmanship and your willingness to share your talents with us.
Thank you! I appreciate the comment! I learned with the basic of basic tools and I hope to show other people that building something that looks complex isn’t that difficult when you break it down into pieces. Happy new year!
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!
Sir, that has to be the best done video I have ever watched. To the point, no stupid music and no excessive rambling. Beautiful shelving unit. New subscriber here. I am excited to start my unit. GREAT JOB!!!
Straightforward execution of a handsome book-cased entertainment center with simple explanations on process! ♥️ No silly music or “fillers”. This earned you another subscriber!
my wife wants something similar to this, so thank you for showing how you did it. instead of middle shelving, we're going to get one of those electric heaters (*because they look cool*) with a TV above it. so this is very helpful!
I’m a novice maker and I am so glad I found this video. I’ve been wanting to do built-ins in our den. Thank you for breaking down the steps and making an easy to follow video!
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 like your methodology when building, I've learned the same sort of things from my boss at our small cabinet shop. The last 5% is where most get lazy but its the most important. Great efficient building and great video, you just made another subscriber
It is finish that decides how it looks. A good finish such filling spaces, getting good registration and being square makes all the difference. It can make a simple project look very high quality.
Super nice .i love the illusion of thickness of the shelves .it makes a huge difference as opposed to a 3/4 " face . The video is also excellent your narration perfectly follows what is being seen without a bunch or pointless rambling .also good lighting .👍👍👍
@@MakeEverything I agree the drawers would be a great for small items like remotes personal note books etc. But, didn't you use spacer/ supports in between the top and bottom of the shelves. Or would that only be necessary for the longest of the shelves.
At our shop here in Austin Texas, we use a woodworking app called Woodmaster to calculate all the shelving spacing for us when we build custom units like these. Very handy tool to have on hand.
I am a hobbyist. What I do not understand (like ever) is how these masters can be so sure of right angle corners without using any right angle clamps. Great build. The video was a little too fast for me but I will have to watch it again anyway. So no problem. Thanks, Regards,
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.
Thanks so much! Very inspiring. I'm going to take a 30 foot wall and make a full bookcase of this design. First time --- I'll let you know how it turns out.
Wasn´t that simple... really fast work as flash does... but it needed a lot of planning and previous experience to make it as sover as it resulted...Thanks for sharing!!!... Greetings from Medellín, Colombia!!!!
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.
The client provided the material directly for this, so im not sure, plus lumber prices have recently soared. If you had to do this again now Id assume youd have $1500 in material, and then thinking about the number of days it took to build, plus a day for install, another $2500.
Looks awesome! Great video! I'm thinking of doing a built in for my wife in out bonus room. No where near as tall but some of your methods here will be quite useful for that project! Great job!
Great Video. I'll need to watch this one a few more times. I learned a lot! Thanks for the post. Thanks for telling why you were working ON the table. Nice high ceiling. I couldn't help but think if you were going to do your cutting up there, why not put you saw on a small table? I figured it was due to limited dust collection hose length.
Very nice! I would sill recommend wearing a mask or respirator while sanding - no matter how strong the vacuum's suction is, tiny particles will still float in the air, and over time, damage your lungs.

Dude! You are a master! Great shelves! I wish you could build one for my house. :/
You are awesome. Sharing this with my husband. God bless.
It looks like a thick solid wood was used. Amazing!

Man, the story pole trick is just simply amazing, simple and time saver.. Kudos..!! :-)
Thank you! Its a great one itll help you all over the shop!
Those 4" shelves could have made for some really cool hidden drawers. Great looking build.
totally! maybe something to add in the future! it wouldnt be a big deal to pop those faces off and make new ones with drawers... Thanks you!

How much sagging can one expect from shelves like this? Seems like they're pretty long in the middle for thin pine boards
Great economy build. Nice video, no BS, all business.
