How to Build a Bookcase by Jon Peters

  • I get started building this small bookcase, which is a great woodworking project that follows a classic and pretty basic design. I use Quarter Sawn White Oak for the legs, top and small bead molding at the bottom of the bookcase, and will give that a natural finish. The rest of the cabinet will be painted white. Here’s Part 1 of the series where I build the base of the cabinet.

    always enjoy your video's. You have a knack for teaching and speaking to the camera, your projects are thought out, and you describe your process and what you are looking for when doing something.
    Look forward to part 2!

    I love your furniture designs. They seem simple but classic. I really like the use of moldings. I've probably built more of your projects than any other woodworker's. I've even branched off with project designs of my own with your distinct influence. Keep them coming. Dan

      This is by far the best woodworking book I have ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . My woodworking teacher endorses it to all of his students. I am impressed how authors managed to write very detailed topics. I`m surprised by the material and didn`t have a tough time following the lessons..

    If I had to chose to keep just 1 Chanel about woodworking then Jon Peters' would be a no brainer. Simply the best I know. Hopefully you will keep rewarding us with more excellence knowing you are leaving a heritage of people with improved skills and know-how behind and in the process which I hope it is in itself rewarding to you too! Thanks a lot once again. And yes I will repeat what countryboyx007 said: you make it look so easy!

    Following several ‘woodworkers’ for some time now. Its good to see you didn’t go for these ‘amazing but inpracticable projects. Good to see you being ‘down to earth’ with great craftsmanship. As a son of a carpenter I can appreciate this. Keep up the good work buddy 👍

    Always enjoy your videos. I’d appreciate your advice sometime for essential tools to own for a very limited/small workspace. I’d love to have all your tools! I watch envious for sure. But it would be impossible with my limited space. Anyway, your videos are the best. I really enjoy them and they inspire me to work on something new on the house. Thanks for sharing this design!

    Hi John, tomorrow is Friday ;-) no I'm joking. I very very like your design for this Bookcase and it comes to the right time. We move in the next time and we decided to build most of our furniture for the new house by use self. So this Bookcase is for sure one of the builds and I try to stay on this design to build the rest of the furniture in the same way so we have a nice living room.

    First of all, THANK YOU for sharing your experience and craftsmanship with the world. Incredible to have teachers available in the comfort of a living room.
    Second, I noticed you and a few other cabinet makers who enjoy making custom molding for trim use the beading bit. Curious what size beading bit you used here? I've got a 3/8", though it seems a little big. Thank you again!

    Jon, You are the man with the talent! I'm in "awe" that you can actually build furniture but the little youtube channel i've recently started only deals with refinishing. I have a question and would really appreciate your professional opinion. I've used both gel and regular stains but I'd like your input as to which is best and is maybe one better for specific projects?
    Thank you!
