2X10 Stopped Dado Bookcases - 209

[@curiousmike1044]

What we have here.... is a man who knows how to edit video. Nicely done.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Haha your editing of the dados cracked me up. Great video and project. Also great idea on the sacrificial miter gauge fence. Looks great!

A montagem com muito carinho,rsrsrsr ficou linda, parabéns!!

[@Adam-gn4oo]

I love your videos April and Jay thankyou you both so much for creating great easy to follow content.

[@SwallowForge]

I really like the simplistic style of these. They have a rugged honesty while at the same time remaining quite elegant due to Good design dimensions. Nicely done.

[@benmiosi4706]

Jeezus even as somebody who doesn't know much about working with wood these are the most satisfying videos to watch. Very thoughtful pacing, editing, use of text overlay. Very concise, very clean - just great.

[@JayBates]

***** Thank you very much Miosi :)

[@hxrxld]

YES!!

[@patrickdunn8918]

Oh hell yeah…I’ve watched dozens of book case builds. This one is my fav…simple, and beautiful.

[@BoRanson]

I like the look! Nice to see even the young studs using leverage to handle the big material. Your back will thank you in twenty years.

[@matthiasherzog5201]

That has got to be the prettiest bookshelf I ever saw ! Plain, simple and quite rustic. Thanks for sharing. I'll be sure to purchase the plan.

[@robbiejeffrey4618]

I'm semi new to the wood works and I have been following your video's and now my wife has me building all sorts of furniture, book cases, matching entertainment center-coffee table and end tables. We like the quality and your style of work so now I have to step up mine. Lowe's and Home Depot hear we come.

[@satanismybrother]

I really like the chunky, no-nonsense design with these. Good work!

[@1springtiger]

I like your style. it's very "Norm" Your projects are practical, yet elegant. Your my new favorite KZbin woodworker. Thanks for sharing.

[@JayBates]

1springtiger Thank you for the kind words :)

[@scottjones3966]

Looks nice...The bookshelves and the bunk beds. Glad to see you returning to what I found you doing when I originally stumbled on your videos. Love the lumberyard furniture projects...

[@perfectdiversion]

Nothing is more satisfying than building your own stuff.

[@MrPlausibleDenial]

4:10 When that shelf popped into place perfectly...so satisfying. That would have made my day.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Very nice - The room is looking awesome - Great tip on dust collection with the trim router

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

They look great with the bed! They look strong as hell too. I see NO sagging shelves in their future! Well done.

[@damonkinney503]

Watching him hammer those shelves in was oddly satisfying! Taking some pretty hefty swings there to get them to fit...

[@JayBates]

Damon Kinney Warped wood into straight dado = gentle persuasion

[@probuilder961]

Love the solid, simple design & execution. Your video capture & editing skills are also impeccable!

[@StumpyNubs]

I love Briwax! If I'm using it on pine I also like to give the wood an acid bath (bowl cleaner mixed with water, let dry) before I apply the wax. If gives it a really old, mellow look. Try it sometime!

[@JayBates]

Thanks. Will definitely try that.

[@codacreator6162]

Nice job! Mark of a true craftsman - you make it look SO easy! 😎

[@dennizstern7696]

I enjoy watching your videos. You make it easy to follow and down to earth conversation. Thanks Jay.

[@PaulMeyette]

Awesome, Jay. I'm really diggin' this dimensional lumber "series". They look both heavy, like old fashioned furniture, and rustic. Absolutely beautiful.

[@kimpliny]

Beautiful job! I had watched this video may be when it first came out 6 years ago, and now I still enjoy watching it again:).

[@DIYTyler]

Solid! Shouldn't get any warping on those shelves. Room is looking good.

[@JayBates]

Thanks dude!

[@TheeSuperCoopz]

Wasn't sure about the finish, till I saw it in position in the room. Looks great, and a very nice video.

[@CatholicWoodworker]

Nailed it! Great to see different joinery methods, especially when using dimensional lumber. really solid design that will last a lifetime and looks great, too!

[@ryansmall7516]

They are the nicest book cases I have ever seen, wish I had the craftsmanship to make some

[@Mojave511]

An older video that I just discovered. Great build and finished product. Looks great.

[@TommyBrisbane]

They look fantastic in the room with the bunk bed.

[@Castrowoodworks]

Wow, I really like the way your bunk bed room is coming along. Very nice!

[@robbiefeeney]

WOW. Just started watching your channel. Thanks for taking all that time to edit the videos! They're awesome.

[@peterstewart9376]

Looks pretty awesome! I really like the look of that dimensional lumber, too. And its so much easier to work with than any kind of hardwood. Take care my friend, Peter

[@MariusHornberger]

Really cool part with the router. Seemed like angry routing :) The room looks awesome with this furniture.

[@JayBates]

Marius Hornberger Thanks Marius. I'm not a fan of using the router without dust collection. Lots of routing in this one!

[@joshuabryan2248]

Excellent job! I like the beefy look of these 2x-projects. Also, I have the same large Bosch router and highly recommend buying the dust collection kit. It makes the router enjoyable to use.

[@ekbergmann633]

Great videos! I find myself watching them and learning something new each time. Thanks for posting such great stuff!

[@oobaka1967]

Excellent work. I'm very envious of your workshop

[@roldac]

I really like the finish you used. I tried staining construction spruce on a project and it came out very blotchy. I also like the beefiness of the shelves, very solid. Great job.

[@woodwhisperer]

Nicely done man! Love the editing extras!

[@JayBates]

The Wood Whisperer Thanks dude :)

[@alextrevino2718]

That build looks like it will last the test of time! Super awesome!

[@TimRoyalPastortim]

They look great, especially with the now themed room!

[@JamesWise-di8zc]

As usual, very nice work Jay! Rustic but smooth, a really good look.

[@blackceazar1]

Nice bookshelves Jay ! I am a fan of your work. Keep up the good work.

[@BenBrandt22]

The hidden joinery looks great Jay. Nice work.

[@audiotechlabs4650]

Jay I made some shelves a while back that were shorter but with the same wood and they are so strong. Good job! Thankz

[@johnhamilton57]

Jay, Great looking bookcases, and heavy duty for sure! Great video...Thanks!

[@Honman0029]

Fantastic vid (as always). You have rapidly become one of my "go to guys" for inspiration. The way you shoot/present your videos, and explain how and, equally importantly, why you do some of the things you do is incredibly helpful and insightful for a complete novice like myself. Keep up the good work fella. 👍

[@ColinTonkasdad]

very nice smooth lines ... and simple looking but not simple to make ... like it ..cheers from uk

[@turbocobra]

Well done sir, love the room with the bed and shelves done in the same theme, solidly built, should survive any bad weather you guys get in the gulf! I like your subtle but creative editing tricks...

[@krtwood]

Lookin good. I think that's one of the better applications for construction lumber in furniture.

[@JayBates]

krtwood Thanks dude.

[@oggzm4982]

Mate, those look magic. An inspiration, keep it up. Love your dry humor, makes the missus look at me funny when I laugh while watching a wood working vid.

[@anonymouswoodtinkerer1721]

Great looking room, have to say that I like the way you edit your videos more and more. Great work, keep them coming.

[@MikeWaldt]

As usual lovely work Jay. Take care Mike

[@gaillong4748]

Pretty awesome. The final look of those is great. In disasters most people want to go to bomb shelters. You guys could just get behind the bookcases! Great work.

[@BillHantzopoulos]

Nice book shelves Jay. And a fun video to watch. I loved the wild man with the router. Goin crazy!

[@SE45CX]

Bill Hantzopoulos Yeah, the small size, presumably low weight dust sucking router looks real handy.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Really like the design; simple and looks great! Were all the shelves glued or just the top and bottom?

[@JayBates]

All the shelves are glued.

[@dr.behjatsyed8776]

How do your cuts and wood pieces all fit so perfectly? I always end up having gaps, grooves, imperfect or warped wood etc for my woodworking projects. Of course I don't have all the fancy saws/clamps etc you have neither do I have your experience or skill set. In short, I'm filled with praise and envy!!! Great job.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Who says you can't make nice furniture with pine, looks great dude! I feel your pain on the router dc, I blew mdf dust freaking everywhere when building my out feed table.

[@JayBates]

Lane Bros WoodShop MDF dust is a beast on it's own level.

[@cadguyfrompti]

Those remind me of something you see in a log cabin. Big, thick, and burly. Nice work. Should last forever.

[@BrianMcCauleyDesign]

Looking good Jay! You know that new domino would have been perfect for this project! They turned out great.

[@-Todays-Tom-Sawyer-]

Jay your editing has certainly reached new heights. great job

[@Retroweld]

That turned out nice Jay. It was great to see your wife in the shot. I thought you were going to have a heck of a time getting those in the room because they are tall. Then you pulled a brilliant move...go through the window. Perfect. BTW great editing. Douglas

[@JayBates]

The window was the first thing that came to mind. Less carry distance and no maneuvering through a short hallway.

[@anthonyderosa5181]

Nice job Jay. Enjoy your presentations!

[@ggreene245]

Really nice... I love the beefy/bulky look of dimensional lumber. Well done.

[@greenkitty79]

Those book cases are awesome!! They must be very heavy, but extremely sturdy.

[@DanielOwensMusic86]

Finally, not a shop video! THANK YOU!

[@JayBates]

Daniel Owens YOU'RE WELCOME!

[@craigpereira6381]

Very nice Jay. Looks awesome with the bunk beds.

[@davidbloom8353]

Great Job Jay, they look fantastic!

[@abelnieto432ify]

Those are some super stout bookshelves!! They should last forever!

[@garyknight8616]

Thanks Jay. Great video with brilliant editing. More importantly, the bookshelves look fantastic. I have plans to make them sometime soon. All the best, Gary

[@BruceAUlrich]

I like the way the stopped dados look. I've never tried those before. Still liking the new (ish) table saw?

[@JayBates]

Bruce A. Ulrich zero complaints with the table saw.

[@baconsoda]

Those look really well. Good job. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@MichaelOlsen-Engineer]

The book cases look great great and should last for years. As an avid reader in a family of readers, I fully agree with your wife for both pleasure reading and serious academic / profesional study. I have six large book cases jammed fully and another six packing boxes full of books. That said, I also have a full terrabyte (1,000GB) of digital books as well (about 50 / 50 pleasure vs. profesional / reference). I actually have them backed up on and likned to my private personal cloud server. Yes i have read all those books and still go back to them. Granted they represent over 30 years of daily reading as an adult.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Very nice job Jay. They look great

[@RolandContreras]

well done and acceptabe sophistication for DIYers

[@SteveSeay]

Really great looking bookcases. Nice job!

[@bracciante]

Nice bookcases...really like your videos. I trust you have somehow anchored those cases to a wall to prevent falling forward. Have seen tall cases like that fall.

[@johnturner5753]

Very cool looking. Like that rustic pine look

[@LordKaladar]

They look great, man. I never seem to have quite as good luck using a straight edge to route dados. I think the stopped dado was a good idea. Looks clean.

[@Jaywa73]

Thanks for the inspiration, I'm planning on making a library for my house and I like the look of these!

[@AndreaArzensek]

That looks great Jay! Just the other day I was watching your bookcase sketch up video, great info and very inspiring to make things! Cheers

[@BigDaddyOworkshop]

what took longer. Building the shelves, or loading all those books on them?

[@JayBates]

Michael Olson Building. I took a nap while she loaded the books :)

[@DiHandley]

You really are a wiz with video editing. I'd love to see what happens if one of you walked into the same place in a scene as the other one. Those stop dados came up a treat too. Cheers

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Jay Bates very nice job, i am going to be making my daughters bunk beds, i just haven't made up a design yet, i am thinking of having steps on the side instead of a ladder. I will make sure you get to see it when i am done. Thanks.

[@hdwoodshop]

Nice shelves. You inspired several great ideas. Thanks.

[@fkuyt9781]

Nice project & great videography, as usual. Keep up the good work.

[@bwrd1976]

Looks awesome Jay. Keep up the great work. Love watching your videos.

[@desviz]

Well Done video showing a skookum set of book cases! Good job!

[@davecrean4638]

Nice Jay...you make dimensional lumber look good!

[@sigguy1361]

Another excellent build, Jay! Bet there won't be any sagging with those shelves!! Cheers

[@hmscatman]

Amazing video. Just wondering if the bookcases are fixed to the wall to prevent them falling forward?

[@eddiemoreno2922]

Jay I noticed your 2x10's are completely flat and straight, did you let them dry out first before you started this project. I try to buy the best ones and rotate them until they dry out to keep them from warping.

[@tomdenny8507]

Wow! Those really turned out looking nice. Better than I thought they would using hardware store dimensional lumber. One quick question, are the book cases attached to the wall in some manner to keep them from being pulled over onto someone?

[@nelsoncaraballo9446]

Jay, thank you for the video. You have great editing skills. Loved the way you got book cases in house. I know they are heavy.

[@djkuco]

Looking great like all of your projects and video's. Good job Jay. Greetings from Belgium

[@dlwatib]

Very nicely done! I like the hidden joinery.

[@heffatheanimal2200]

Beautifully done! And they're good and solid cases

[@OpekiskaWood]

Very nice Jay. I like the router dust collector too.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Wow, those filled up fast! Stuff in all the fantasy books and put in another order for bookcases from Jay!

[@JayBates]

Peter Brown Done and Done.

[@bmylesk]

Being new to all this wood working stuff, I notice you actually used your guards and fingers on the table saw. You have them on all the time? So many vids without these safety equip. Please elaborate. Thanks kindly.

[@rrillera0105]

Great job! beautiful bookshelf.

[@holdemNE1]

Looks really nice in the room. I did see someone else's comment about securing them to the wall.......especially if you have young kids that will eventually climb them to reach something on the top shelf.

[@franklorenzo4288]

hello Jay, your Channel and projects are amazing you are one of my top inspiring woodworkers on you tube and thank you for all the effort you put in making these videos I have one question, did you run the 2 x 10 through the planner and joiner to have even surface or just sand them? The surface of the wood looks really smooth

[@JayBates]

+Frank Lorenzo I just sanded them. Thanks for the kind words :)
