This is awesome. I fell in love with this type of bookcase when I started looking at pictures for DIY woodworking projects. Now that you have posted dimensions and demonstrated the process so well, I'm determined to make one for our home. Thanks for the inspiration!
That's great, hope it turned out well!
Love it! So classy. Thank you both so much 💚
The pair of you are wonderful people and I hope you are rewarded x7!
Share your knowledge to help others improve their home world, in an easy, not a lot of tools, inexpensive way! Too many today build such things placing astronomical price tags on them or on the design.
Wow thank you so much for these kind words!
What a great project! Really nice looking. Plus you could add extra shelving layers to it! Great to see both of your "helpers" are on task!
Haha they're always wanting to help!
Thank you ❤
I love it! And it seems simple to make, I might just try it!
Yay!! We love to see it🙌❤🤩more projects to diy and try, thank you!
More to come!
Nice bookcase.
Beautifully done.
Thanks!
Increible lo facil que lo hacen ver, gracias por compartirlo, saludos desde México
Love it!! Can't wait to build it!!
Thank you!
Just made this and it looks wonderful. The wifey was surprised at how good it looks. We used 4x8 plywood and cut it down since it was about 40% cheaper. Itll still cost more that $100, but no complaints for how it turned out.
Ours did have one difference than this video. With the dimension at 1:20 in the video, the 11.25" matches to the 13" on the 12" side... so the vertical wall will be 12"H x 11.25"D, which put it setback and not flush to the shelf front IF you're using 12" width boards... it would need to be 12×12" drilled to the 13x12" -- either way, still looks sharp, the verticals walls are just set back an inch from the shelves.
I'd also suggest using wood glue for added "shelf" life. Bahaha.
Another winner! Thanks.
Yay, thank you!
Beautiful project, well designed and well constructed. Congratulations 👏
Wow, I’ve seen wooden shelving online for several hundred dollars! I’m going to attempt to make this! Thanks guys! 😊
Thank you!
Loved it!
Great job… 💯 Very interesting…. 👍🏼
Simple: i see mid century modern..i click
Haha awesome!
I just made this project and it turned out beautifully. I cut down on the width to fit my space, but the proportions still look great. Thanks for such a great tutorial!
I want to make a bigger version of this on casters so I can get to a door it will be hiding.😊
How much were the 1x12x8 boards? Because at Home Depot, they are $26 each!
It should say more like $150 for this project. 1x12 are $25 with tax plus legs and angle plates. Still a cool little project but definitely not $70
Классная вещь, к ней идеально подойдет советская радиола семедисятых.
شكرا على التبسيط
اهلا وسهلا ، شكرا على المشاهدة!
love it! isn't it easier to sand and stain all before then just build and done?
The $70 is it's a little misleading....... The stain the legs the wood filler the sponge, Even a small Box of those screws Themselves are around 5 to $10. So where did you get the lumber For that kind of price for $70? Why don't you buy everything at 1 time that you need and post the receipt for us so we can see the actual cost. But you did a great build. The work is phenomenal. Just seems little clickbate to me.
No. He is factoring the price of wood and he has left over materials from previous projects.

Has anyone made it taller than what they did? Like extended it a few more rows? Will the legs still hold up the weight?
Can you pls let me know which color stain you have used?
Hello! Thanks for this video, going to do this project for some vinyls. Do you know if a normal record will fit, or will I need to measure higher?
The 11 1/4” pieces seem to decide height, so I’d scale those up by an 1.5” to give some clearance for your records. Pretty sure the standard jacket is just under 12.5”. I’m hoping to make it for the same thing here soon.
Thos actually looks doable. But i need a different shape.
What kind of stain is that?
Are these common boards or select pine boards ?
I just used common boards to save money, those select boards gets expeeeensive!
I bought your book which I love but this wasn't in it.
building this step by step using every single piece of hardware and stain and poly you have in this video. Everything has turned out perfect except the polyurethane coat. I've followed exactly how you do it in the video same foam brush same everything and it looks like crap now. You need to make an explanation video on how to use polyurethane. Gonna have to put some serious hours onto fixing this once simple prpject
Did you apply one coat or more? Many times it will take multiple coats of poly for that smooth/shiny finish. Wood is porous and can absorb some of the poly which may lead to a blotchy look after only one coat.
Someone spoke of common boards (and that they're less money), maybe it was the person that made this video, what does that exacly mean? I went to home depot and they were so rude, they played like they had no clue or really didnt.
Watching the two of you cutting and assembling furniture on the floor looks painful. Why not build a table?
He's keeping it simple for people that don't have. I totally appreciate this!!
