70 - How to Build a 6 ft. Standard Cherry Bookcase 4K

[@cindyfisher3149]

I love the tip about the straw for getting glue out of the corners. Thank you!

[@janetpersons8030]

The glue we have today is very good and we no longer need to flood the parts. You may want to include that in your dialogue. You are a great woodworker .

[@bjspyder4148]

Watching your kids help you reminds me of my dad. I spent half my childhood crawling under, over, and behind things to hold for him. I remember it fondly.

[@boosterg]

Finally, a bookcase build that does not end with the case getting painted. Love it.

[@jesper1406]

I love that the whole family is involved... Respect to you, Sir!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@janetpersons8030]

I really appreciate the way you build. You always explain what you are doing in layman’s terms.I love the plan and I am goin gto make one

[@toolsconsumables7055]

Dear James, Another yet beautifully made book case your customer will cherish & enjoy using it. It's always an absolute pleasure watching you & your family creating exceedingly nice pieces of work. Kind regards.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you so much!

[@MccaneWoodcrafts]

James, that is absolutely beautiful! Emily loves it and it look great in her apartment. Thank you so much for time to do this for her.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you Frank! We are very happy she likes it. And I really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to build & film it, and for being so patient with our schedule.

[@sharpeguns1]

Thank you for your great Video's. I've been real sick and Have had several Heart Attack's. You saved my Life. I watched and like alot of Videos. The Hospital Programming as long as the food was Terrible. I sufficed and your Videos kept me sane. Going back in the 29th, more Heart Surgery. But I'm prepared. God bless in his will. I love you Guys & Gals

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

The whole King family will have you in our hearts & prayers and we wish you a speedy recovery back to full health!

[@stephenrobinson8250]

Biscuits will provide extra holding power on the mitered corners of the bottom molding. If this bookcase gets placed on a carpet floor and someone tries to move it, it places a great deal of stress on the corners of the molding. The biscuits ensure the corners never come apart. Just a suggestion from one furniture maker to another. We can always learn new tips and tricks to help make our final product last long after we've gone.

[@jeremybaity7002]

That grain is absolutely beautiful. Really cool teamwork. Reminds me of when my Pops would highly encourage me to come help him work on the car. I never thought I enjoyed it until you meet grown men that have zero trade skills and appear lost when a thought is required. I just wanna know a little about a lot. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@HappyPappynKatyTX]

Perfect bookcase! My wife ordered 2 of these. Guess i have to get to work! Marvelous

[@1954JDR]

That is a beautiful piece of furniture. Definitely showroom quality.

[@jkasten101]

You continue to provide the best woodworking content on KZbin!! Fantastic instruction as usual!!!

[@alfredneumann4692]

...... and there is no to much glue.... This Cherry looks very nice. Never seen such a kind of plywood here in Germany. Thank you for this video.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hello Alfred, thank you!

[@LostWhits]

I've never seen plywood like that in Australia either.

[@bobkoss280]

I love watching you work. So much envy.

[@backpacker3421]

LOVE the trick of doing a mitered cut in a straw to make a corner glue scraper. That is truly awesome.

[@gspdefalco]

Enjoy the way you describe how to do everything and that your girls help you out great job.

[@chrisswartzwelder8494]

I learned a straw technique for removing glue from you guys. I really enjoy the videos.

[@jeannainnc8390]

Drooling over that plywood, just gorgeous.

[@300leothelion]

I like to choose nail varnish to match my chosen t-shirt as well.... Only kidding. Great build. Nearly same way I build mine. Thanks for uploading 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@dalewilliamson1125]

Very nice project James and family.

[@robertdyson2228]

I just realized that KZbin had unsubscribed me from your channel. Like your work very much.

[@chrisbresh8817]

I love your explanations, no assumption of your viewer's expertise. Thank you

[@KCotreau]

This guy is a true perfectionist and master.

[@timoteoharvey]

I have recently watched several of your videos and I really appreciate the level of skill that your daughters have with power tools and the great care that they take when handling them each and every time. I am trying to teach my kids the same thing!

[@kanamasai5194]

You always introduce people in your video. They are never nameless beings hovering in the background. What wonderful courtesy. I can only imagine you are a respectful person who also receives a lot of respect. I'm awed by your old-style, once-upon a time common manners & courtesy.

[@pi1171]

James, you've got everything I need. A big shop, nice wood materials, awesome tools and great woodworking skills. Really enjoy to watch and as a bonus, I learn things.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@chrisgriego549]

And he has Great help!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Chis, you are correct! I could do nothing without my family helping!

[@peterbonifacio3288]

Excellent project and detailed video. Compliments!

[@tsquaredwoodworks3037]

James, great video as always! Loved the humor in this one. You take what seems to be a crazy difficult project and break it down and show that it is not that hard. Us newbies can make great things too! Keep up the great work!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you! You are very kind.

[@koalafan1576]

Great job on the bookshelf.

[@aaronrubin7168]

What a gorgeous bookshelf! I'm inspired to make one myself now. Well done to you and the family!

[@mikeknoll1130]

That is a very nice book cast, great job.

[@robertevans6481]

Awesome build guys and gals....as well as the extra tips on how to....have a great weekend..

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you Robert!

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

Thanks! Very helpful and informative! And, you can never have too many clamps!

[@colintebble5380]

Great to see the team putting together a beautiful constructed book case... A job well done again

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you Colin!

[@janetpersons8030]

That was a great exposition I am going to follow your example.

[@Believe_the_Bible]

Nice work. You make me want to be more accurate with my cuts. Thanks. Nice to have help.😊😊

[@jaykeehan5813]

This was very helpful in moving me forward on my own bookcase project. I previously had no idea how to make my own cove moulding and from this video was inspired to create some this morning (I have a pin nailer on order now to get it attached). I also was in a quandary about whether it would be okay to glue a solid maple panel to my plywood top and it set my mind at ease to know that the wide gluing area would serve as a laminate and not to worry overmuch about wood movement. I may even try to make this exact project at some point if I can get an assistant. Thank you for the useful and inspirational video.

[@Maritza1204]

Beautiful work Mr King, Sai's wrist "tattoo" is the best!!! 😄 she cracks me up with the photo Bombing. I LOVE yall's videos!

[@na2305]

Really really nice. You do amazing work

[@kleincarpentry1438]

I love the straw trick, very clever!

[@miketaylor7064]

Very nice work!!

[@williamsr81]

The straw tool glue cleanout is a great tip. I always have issues with that. Wish I'd thought of it.

[@markfrank0924]

Very nice work. I really enjoyed the video and appreciate the fact you ahve involved your kids as well. This is a skill that can be used as a career or hobby that can last a lifetime. I particularly appreciate the attention to detail and like you I see the value in lots of glue.

[@GuitarSlinger2112]

love that zero clearance tape on the miter saw. I just got some of that stuff myself. thanks for sharing!

[@chadhickey9527]

Very nice setup.

[@stevewalker7822]

I really liked the raised panel look for the bottom trim.

Looks spiffing, I had 2 cups of tea watching this, nice workmanship fella. 👍🏻

[@johngunning2123]

Great job! I feel like making something after watching this. Love that Rockler jig, a great piece of kit to have. I made my own out of an old cupboard someone threw away and used electrical tape on the drill bit to set the depth. It works but by the time you have drilled so many holes the tape is pretty sad. I would love to own an assembly bench like the one in the video.

[@robertorivera4027]

Eres un verdadero maestro, tus trabajos siempre son un lujo, saludos cordiales desde Viña Del Mar, Chile

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@jeffmo1018]

Beautiful piece

[@troyfraser5395]

Nice video. Biscuit joints actually make the joint weaker though - they are more used for alignment

[@mikeuk1954]

Lovely bookcase. Your Girls are a credit to you James. I have workshop envy. 😉

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Mike. Thank you!

[@garry7263]

Another great video and piece of furniture. I would like to make a suggestion though. That bottom shelf, would have been nice if that was just a snug fit and not glued, with a finger hole in the back so you could remove it for secret storage. Nobody would ever know it was there with books on place, and plenty of storage for some valuables.

Hi King family. I watched 5 vid's so far. I really enjoy your work. Good voice over, video camera skills. Looks you are having fun with your family its good to see that.

[@jasonleger999]

Looks like you taught them well as they use some pretty safe practices as I see it. Good job and great looking work

[@mprumsey]

Beautiful Job

[@raider6511]

Looks nice. Thanks for showing.

[@lcook0825]

Another great video and presented in layman terms as usual. Thanks.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@jimrow6704]

Love that push stick

[@joecatling8043]

Mr James you are a wood working genious thank you, i enjoy all your shows

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Joe, Thank you!

[@Pantor1643]

Well done once again. I’m having a bad cold. So I’m home enjoying your videos. 😂

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thanks Luis! I hope you feel better soon!

[@GeeksWoodShop]

As always, you are a fountain of knowledge, with a nice mix of humor. Lovely shelf.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

You are too kind Tyson! :-)

[@ianblackman2144]

Very nice work

[@MikeBramm]

Another fine woodworking project from the King family. Great job. I'll have to get some of that Titebond 2000. 😉

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

😆😂🤣👍🏻

[@seephor]

Very nice project that I think most can do in their home garage. The only thing i would do differently is to cut the width of the shelves about a 1/8" short that way you don't scratch the inside of the bookshelf when you are moving the shelves around.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Good tip!

[@nowaas66]

I like the fact that the glue sweeps itself to the trash ! :) Great educational video, thanks for sharing your fine woodworking with us.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha, Thank you!

[@richarddicktaylor219]

Thank you for such an informative piece. It's terrific to see such an outstanding family enterprise & I liked the wry humour.

[@eddiestipe2009]

James and team, another outstanding video. Your videos cover the material in great detail but also safety. Once again thank you for sharing.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Eddie. Thank you!

[@Asta-wl8jz]

I just ran across your site. Beautiful workmanship!

[@cwbwoodchip]

Thanks for making these videos they are very helpful

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@barstad-9591]

I really like the results you got from the raised panel bit.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Yes, All of the different raised panel bit shapes seem to make really nice trim profiles.

[@joshbrown1022]

Fantastic tip for drawing the arch, really dressed up my bookcase build! Thanks!

[@tammyfinch5469]

Gorgeous! You guys never fail to amaze me.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Tammy, thank you!

[@unsunghero72]

Nicely done! Beautiful .

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@alaskanmal]

Hi from South Australia, another great video very pleasing to watch with a great result, and I love the tips and explanations you give as you go along. Keep em coming

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

That is very kind. Thank you!

[@lmaorightnow]

Awesome work!

[@e.dbogan6266]

I really enjoy your videos. Your attention to giving pointers as you build is very helpful, and your humor is always an added bonus. The bond you and your family have is very refreshing and the gentle way you present your builds adds alot. Keep doing what you're doing. I do have a technical question not about the actual build; what kind of dust collection do you use? Not much dust on your table saw. Thanks!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you! I use a Grizzly 3HP dust collector. This exact model, and it works great! amzn.to/2wOUYwz

[@makeverse584]

This video is simply superb!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@kevindumais9610]

You have some really good helpers!

[@aboalyism]

Professional and beautiful family

[@edwinleach7401]

Under the bottom shelf would be a great place to set up a hidden space for valuables.

[@lcook0825]

Very nice video. Thanks.

[@extreme.4576]

Gorgeous!!!! I need to order the sled cleaning GLUE!!!! Hahaha 👍🏽

[@extreme.4576]

Self cleaning!!! Dang autocorrect!!

[@markusburrell8809]

great instructive build, Thanks

[@steelwood74]

I liked the video, it's the first of yours I've seen. I like what I've seen. Biscuits aren't compressed as much as you think, they're compressed to 3.8mm and they don't swell much at all, they're a locater only after all. You're putting too much emphasis on getting glue onto them. Cheers though, I do look forward to more of your videos.

[@DragonGateDesign]

Turns out awesome

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@Kyle_Mo]

stunning piece!

[@SanAndFe]

Oh I don’t know, I think that colour nail varnish would suit you ; ) Nice build, nice video, nice family. Look forward to your next video. 👍🏻

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha, Thank you!

[@seantalbot3178]

Superb, as always!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@Thom4123]

What a beautiful bookcase. Excellent tutorial on your builds. Awesome job guys y’all take care.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you very much!

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

Don’t forget to mention, after glueing projects up. Find a stoping point due to your states climate the glue needs to dray over night. If your wood working area isn’t heated for winter. Best to get your shed to garage up to temp. Glue will be next to impossible to use. We out of will it work stuck the bottle in the microwave ten or so seconds then let come to room temp good as new.

[@vanislandhikes]

After watching this video I now know why good quality furniture costs a fortune. How many man hours into this bookshelf? 50!!?? Beautiful work. Great family business.

[@WoodUCreate]

Another great project. Awesome team work, love the family being involved. I'm imagining your shop with one of those hose reels from the ceiling and instead of air or water/oil, you've got a feed to the Titebond drum so you can get GPM of glue on your projects.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

That is a fantastic idea!!

[@LostWhits]

I imagined Ghostbusters style slime blowers

[@babakkhoramdin3146]

Perfect job you folks did. Awesome 👏👏👏
