13ft Tall Rolling Ladder Bookcase | Woodworking Madness

[@craftedworkshop]

My Kindle would look sweet on that bookshelf! ;) That thing is a beast dude. Great work.

[@John_Malecki]

+Crafted Workshop I would intentionally put it 8ft up just to use the ladder like a librarian.

[@TranTheClever]

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. 4:31

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

That came out great! And it looks killer with that ladder. Really glad you're still stitching your footage into builds, eases the pressure of trying to catch every vlog.

[@John_Malecki]

Im actually going to be announcing a pull back from the VLOG unfortunately. YT is crushing them and my numbers are way down. Gotta give the platform what it wants. aka build videos

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

That sucks, I understand though. It was a good experiment though, thanks for trying! I just found Alex Steele about two months ago and thought it might be a great format for someone kind of in your position. Guess we were wrong. I enjoyed it while you did it.

[@John_Malecki]

I agree, except the views arent there and the sharability. So I have to probably wait till my channel grows in order to hit that sort of style

[@CammiesGarage]

Huge and awesome build. Nicely done. The rolling ladder is a nice touch.

[@John_Malecki]

+Cammie's Garage I thought so too. Brought it together !

[@CReevesMakes]

Awesome in the truest definition of the word on this build John! That ladder is super cool as well. Keep building!

[@John_Malecki]

Thank you!. It did come out nice, in excited for the client

[@RonWaller]

Turned out really awesome John. Man that thing is huge. Next is to fill that thing up with books. Thanks John keep up the great work.

[@John_Malecki]

Yea they have some stuff for the shelves coming in. Im hoping to have it re-shot, once they do! Thank you Ron

[@gbjones54]

Having watched all the VLOGs on this it feels like I got to see the "directors" cut. Nice job John. Way to tame the BEAST.

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Gary!

[@mswoodcustomwoodwork]

Hey John - really nice to see the install after tracking the daily log of the build a few weeks ago. Well done mate.

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Matt!

[@TranTheClever]

Looks great Rachel! I'd probably run into it and something would fall off and break! Kiss to Cali! ♥️ 2:46

[@Whiskeywoodcreations]

Absolutely crushing it lately, John! Another solid video, cheers!

[@HomeandShopTV]

I too like the "director's cut" wrap up video. This was great!

[@John_Malecki]

Hopefully someday i can shane in the shadow of Jimmy. Thank you!

[@robertellenwood]

Solid build, John. I have a couple of 12'ers coming up...hmmm, might be time to add a flatbed to the fleet quiver! Cheers~

[@VincentAnthonyConti]

Hoping to launch myself into a bit of DIY furniture work in the near future - focused on building my resources and general "toolbox" at the moment. I just found this channel today via r/artisanvideos and you have content for builds that are stylistically spot-on with what I'm hoping to accomplish one day. The pacing, editing and narration are perfect - feels like I found a gold mine. Cheers!

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you enjoy. Feel free to binge my videos and follow me on Instagram! Im posting daily and have a lot of interactive convo on there too!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Looks great seeing it installed.

[@John_Malecki]

Thank you!

[@ShaneBates0]

Loved the panning shots. Nice work.

[@GregsGarage]

Kick ass John. I figured you built the ladder!!! Everything looks great man.

[@John_Malecki]

i wouldve tried had it not been for a commercial client. Liability on a ladder (and never doing one) was not something I was into

[@toolboss8410]

that is one kick ass book case !!!

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks man. It was ENORMOUS

[@samuelhaworth2173]

Awesome build John, and the ladder really makes it look cool. Keep the vids coming!

[@MarcosThunder]

Great stuff John, nice to see the result video!

[@jasonpremo4345]

Fast becoming my favorite youtuber to watch thank you so much for all the videos at pretty regular rate really the fun to watch

[@John_Malecki]

You're welcome Jason. Thank you for the support!

[@paulmullins1589]

Outstanding work, that is mesmerisingly good. I'm looking at doing a similar height bookshelf in Malaysia with a rolling ladder. Can you share the details of the ladder company please? Thank you so much.

[@ramonaltamirano6833]

Me gustó!!! 👍Es un diseño sobrio, sencillo y práctico.

[@tracys2354]

That's one Big bookcase!

[@F0cu5guy]

Great build video! A nice culmination to the Vlogs we've been seeing. Sucks that you had to cut it in half, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done. Nice work!!

[@John_Malecki]

Ya never good to cut things in half. haha but thank you!

[@mariojhorge23]

Great Job. Well done

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Mario

[@plantlove8921]

AMAZING!!!

[@kitchenscience324]

Very nice!

[@angelrobledo3513]

Absolutely amazing work, I want to do a similar bookshelf on my new built house, it's a 10" ceiling, I am new to carpenter, I only have built outdoor furniture like chairs and tables, this will be a big project for me. I'll check your website for more detail information. Thanks for sharing this amazing video ;-)

[@fredthomson8145]

Hey John: This really worked out great. Wasn't sure how you were going to rejoin the 2 sections but it seems fine. Doing great work.

[@John_Malecki]

+Fred Thomson I used dominos and stacked it on top of itself. Bolted to the wall. Worked well!

[@SuperSadom]

So cool

[@bugbasher]

Any info on where to get such a ladder? Really like the looks of it.

[@TranTheClever]

Love it! 2:37

[@gearup5000]

Hi, can you please tell me where you sourced that ladder from?

[@touyube-bg7gn]

Amazing build! Just found it. I need to do something similar at 14 feet tall, may I ask where you got the ladder from and how tall is it?

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

hi there, enjoy watching this :), please could you tell ne at 3.12 min when you lift the second section on to the first , didnt those dowels you just hammered in interfere with the dowels in the one you put on top section or did you place them inner/outer a bit?

[@SweetiePeachies]

Great build! How thick was the plywood (before lamination)

[@paullee1521]

how did you make the pieces longer? I see how you laminated the pieces to make them thicker but how did you get the length?

[@scottplumer3668]

Great video! I'm planning on building a wall of bookshelves in my family room, and this has given me some ideas. I love the open shelves on the left. What thickness of plywood did you use?

[@John_Malecki]

double laminated 3/4"

[@ernieruss9128]

Any chance you’re in Ontario, Canada?! My husband and bought a church and are planning to do a whole wall floor to ceiling bookshelves!

[@cos810]

John, at the end I could see You did not cover the screws You used for the joint, and I could see the gap between the panels and the wood for covering the side ofrecimiento them (front). Did You fix it later?? Was it non important because books will cover it?? I am a huge fan, and I was thinking there is got to be an explanation. Sorry for my english, i speak spanish.

[@John_Malecki]

The look of the piece is supposed to be more "rustic" so we left the screwheads exposed to match the hardware on the ladder

[@SmallFryCreations]

Looks awesome John!! How did you join the top the bottom once you cut it in half??

[@John_Malecki]

Dominos, my new best friend

[@SmallFryCreations]

Ahh awesome. great solution. Thanks John

[@FeralBoyKnives]

That came together nicely! Did you have to cut out a couple grooves in the back to go around the electrical conduit?

[@FeralBoyKnives]

John Malecki haha that's cool.

[@shamalif4234]

Hey John. Great work and video. I'm looking for pretty much the exact (12.5ft) bookshelf with the ladder. How much would something like this cost me to have someone build and install (including ladder)? Would really appreciate even a range so I have an idea. Thanks a bunch!!!

[@davisfarris]

Awesome build!!! Will you fill the joint between the two bookcases?

[@John_Malecki]

There is no need. The piece looks as the client likes it and in person you can barely notice because its above eye level

[@josher89]

How does the ol' pistolero hold up to the sawdust generated in the shop? I take mine off whenever I'm in the shop. Nice work by the way! Just subscribed!

[@John_Malecki]

She works great. Built to handle the desert. little dust is fine

[@theislandworkshop8453]

haha nice dude, i think some nice whisky and gin bottles would look great on that book shelf, maybe not on the top

[@John_Malecki]

whiskey and gin looks great everywhere my friend!

[@theislandworkshop8453]

haha yer

[@Vgallo]

Can you make a list of the timber used

[@hoanghungcuong6343]

Hello, nice job! By the way, how high is your garage? Mine is only 8.5 feet high, and I am not sure whether I have enough height for a job like this. 3:25

[@sa1m1r]

Where did you purchase the ladders from?

[@KyleMerl]

DAMN! Does that thing get its own zip code? Awesome build, as usual!

[@John_Malecki]

It does.... 'merica. thats the zip !

[@tiffanyjohnson3110]

That turned out great. #America

[@John_Malecki]

Thank you Tiffany. It looks awesome!

[@loopinnerthe]

You have to get right to the end to appreciate some immense reverb...

[@MovementTrainingCo]

Great video, John. Super helpful as I'm going to be doing a 10'x10' built in at my house soon. What are the specs of the dowels you used?

[@jasonb4350]

Hey it turned out fantastic it's a shame you had to cut it in half but like they say shit happens

[@John_Malecki]

+Jason B yep. Gotta pivot and make stuff work

[@personallyurs01]

Why is my bed so shaky?

[@StefanoLBP]

May I ask you how much this bookcase cost?

[@John_Malecki]

it wasnt cheap

[@RobinsonStevens]

first. do you live in a bad neigborhood?

[@John_Malecki]

I live in America.

[@RonWaller]

Thats 'Merica

[@John_Malecki]

You're correct. 'Merica

[@upstairsdave]

no music next time! otherwise great

[@george5120]

Get rid of the damn rock music. It is a distraction. You are a carpenter. You are not a rock star.

[@dekhruel]

Love your videos but damn... Stop saying Bad Boy...

[@waitersluvhjy66]

I've heard good feedback about the Stodoys plans.
