Bookshelves

[@melindaleon5907]

Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves kzbin.infoUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

[@MauriceBlok]

So nice your parents are a part of this video. You're a big inspiration Frank. Thank you.

[@dgnytes]

Maurice why did you stop making your video? They were as good as good can be.

[@MakeSomething]

Beautiful! And a nice bamboo bowl cameo.

+Make Something ha ha, thanks!

[@MarcSchaefermeyer]

Thought the same thing! Great job explaining it as well.

[@tufankilinc636]

Any man who loves and respects his mom deserves a thumbs up and a new subscriber. Great project too.

[@roncooper6302]

Jealousy is a terrible trait, but that workshop, bookshelves and that number of books has me going to confession. Regards.

[@joshuap9580]

seriously. is that a back to back table saw?

[@jobergers8200]

Clickspring AND Frank on the same day? Today's my day.

[@Boudico]

+Noble909 Either one is cause for a smile --- both is absolute awesomeness

[@pdxDavid]

+Noble909 Thanks for the mention of Clickspring as I hadn't seen it before. Amazing stuff.

[@167curly]

When you have a big home library like your parents do, it's great to be able to put your hand on one volume quickly. My books are like old friends which I enjoy for reference, browsing and re-reading..

[@TonyScandal]

No-one commented on your video editing mastery. Along side the incredible work on the library you created the time spent editing this video to keep it interesting and watchable is so well done that no-one noticed.

[@flattire78]

i personally loved the stop motion / time lapse

[@tombiggs4687]

It's true. I keep thinking that Frank has worked (does work) as a professional videographer aside from these videos. I love the videos where he "sets up" an old projector screen when he wants to show two different views simultaneously.

[@muziqjazz]

It is a joy to help our parents with our woodworking gift. I'm sure Frank that your joy was greater then theirs. Thanks for sharing. Marc

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

God Bless your parents ,They created a great person who creates great things. I learn so much from you and your videos are educational and entertaining at the same time.

[@snapjamwoodworks710]

I actually yelled stop when you were backing up the truck. Great build!!! My youngest daughter and I built her bookcase together too. Always a pleasure Frank. Thanks for sharing.

[@frankmakes]

+Bosn Ski I filmed leaving, and ran the video backwards.

[@snapjamwoodworks710]

Ah-Ha! POTS...

[@SargentRooster]

I have always believed that time in the shop with family is time well spent. Getting your mum in the shop, bonus, Good job mum and great design and execution.

[@bwillan]

That collections of books will rival most city public libraries. Good job on the construction. That was smart of you to enlist the aid of your mother to drill all the shelf pin holes. It now gives her an appreciation of how much work went into building the wall of book shelves.

[@frankmakes]

+bwillan good point.

[@BrianMcCauleyDesign]

That is one hell of a bookshelf! Not to mention a lifetime of books. If that were in our house it's hold 4 iPads, haha.

[@TheMatrixNow]

Hey Frank. Great job on the mega book shelf....Clap Clap Clap and more so the extra lift from the ground in case it floods. Very few would keep that in mind! Mom and Dad must be so proud sitting back and just admiring it.

[@PinHolePip]

You're a good son. Must have good parents. And, the book shelves look great.

[@bookworm8415]

Frank... i just want to copy your stuff. Completely and without changing anything. Ive been going backwards through your videos and you've brilliant and simple and elegant solutions to virtually everything im overwhelmed with trying to fix or remodel in my own home. Thank you for these videos, the simplicity, and artistic takes on these solutions. Not sure where i will start but i love all that you do

[@markbusby9709]

Thats a nice thing to do for your Mum & Dad Frank, they must be very proud of you.

[@deej19142]

Nice job Frank, you're a good son. It was nice to see your mom and dad.

[@teresapoudrier494]

With all due respect to you sir, I admire your parent's "Library" and was the star of this video for me. Your Book Case was a well thought out and functional design. ....But them books ! As a reference book hoarder myself, I get the need to save them all for the ones that come after us to have and read as well, NO software upgrades needed !!

[@tsuchang1]

That's wonderful Frank. Thanks for helping your mom and pop. Thanks a lot.

[@00dahc]

Your parents must be proud of your accomplishments. I know I'm impressed. Not just with this video, either.

[@macsheldon]

Brilliant as usual, Frank! Mom's deserve the best and you certainly delivered on this one. I loved reading the book titles too. I can see why she bugged you to get this project done. Keep teaching and entertaining us, Frank. You're an important member of our woodworking community and every video episode you produce is a gift to us all.

[@aliasks6559]

"why she bugged you" was that an intentional pun? :D

[@michellerutter-davis3719]

Your organization skills are just as impressive as your wood skills. It make your job easier!

[@ZanderKaneUK]

Well done Frank's mum, rolling her sleeves up and getting stuck in.

[@TurkiAU]

Best thing in life is to make your old folks happy. Good job

[@tylero8595]

Nice job. Your parents are lucky to have a thoughtful son.

[@Insignifant]

I'd like to call that little chuckle "the howarth laugh". Thanks a lot for hours well spent from germany!

[@djconpollo]

Love the slight stagger of the shelves. Awesome touch that stops the shelves from being boring

[@jcjatho]

Very nice shelving unit from a fine woodworker and a wonderful son. I am sure your parents were delighted.

[@TheNosoup4u]

Dude! Your mom is so cool!!! Enjoyed it. I dig the approach to the cases, the I box method. I had not seen that before... Thanks again Frank!

[@randallparker8477]

I like that you tell us your thinking and your videos are top notch, great editing and effects. Your craft skills allow the artist and engineer to create some superb projects. So having said all that, you are close to being a KZbin god... Which reminds us that your Mom made you. We bow to the MOM. Great job! Thanks for sharing with us Frank.

[@CVCceo]

Wow! Super MOM. Great project, Frank. I have about 10 sheets of prefinished maple ply waiting on me to produce cabinets. I designed the cabinets to surround our Theater Room screen using Sketchup. Then I imported the Sketchup file into Aspire and produced the CNC vectors and toolpaths. I just need two more hands to load these sheets onto the CNC. I have been waiting just over a year so far. Wish I had mom like you :)

[@danahawkeye]

I like the idea of a knick-Knack / small book rack on the end of the bookcase run. I am going to steal that idea for my one.

[@kaybanks8781]

Great job! I liked your little laugh when you talked about making your mother drill the shelving holes. Tee-hee.

[@discorangutan]

This video is nearly 4 years old and the editing is still as fresh and amazing as ever! Love it and love your mom in it too!

[@kim4win]

I love how the clean design allows the books to be the focus. My favorite part of the video was at the end when your parents filled the shelves. Great projects and video!

[@johnconklin9039]

Ingenious design as always. Your mom was a trooper for drilling all those holes.

[@rickl.orchids]

.....great show Frank...love the design....would give anything to spend day in shop with my mom.......lucky man.

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

Great video, I especially like the fact you put your mum to work. I'm going to start implementing that strategy too.

[@robharrod]

Practical solutions with an aesthetic appeal all the way around! Even with a helper and being in a new locale, the video production was great!

[@georgezarifis7409]

Another classic Frank Howarth build video. Awesome!

[@wyattoneable]

Your videos making skills make for easy viewing. Your Mom is a good sport.

[@jaykuptake]

Found this video independently but, I remember seeing a video of this woodshop and how it was built! Well done!

[@holdemNE1]

Nothing more exciting than opening up your You-Tube subscriptions to see that Frank has posted another video. Well done as always and thanks for posting.

[@SmokeFlame1]

Big job, but with Mom's help it turned out well. Very impressive.

[@tooljunkie555]

rhays Thats a lot of plywood...oh yea and the books..lol nicely done. .and that's awsome your mother got in there and went ta town on the drill press!! shes a hustler!!

Good job Frank. Mom and Dad should be very happy.

[@matthewphelps5136]

[@gsfuentes57]

I like how you didn’t double up the verticals. Very clever, Frank.

[@johansnyder1641]

I hardly ever watch till the end, this one I did - brilliant job.

[@omidalborzi]

Good job Frank, it looks amazing. You made your parents proud of ya...

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

You have an interesting way of looking at things. I guess we all do, but your ideas seem to make more sense than most of us! I like the simplicity and low cost of this design. I agree, it ended up looking even better than I thought it would from when you first described your plan.

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

Your design and work is impeccable! Yes, drilling that many holes can take a very long time. When I made lots of kitchen cabinets I ended up buying a line boring machine which is great for constant cabinetry building.

[@JorgeAraujo]

Wow you weren't kidding when you said they had a lot of books.... AWESOME!!!! Great project, super clean bockcase unit that looks great... and as always your videos are super clear and very well put together.

[@kylestarfaux]

I love the design of it. The seemingly random heights of the compartments make it look so much better than a perfectly square and even set of shelves.

[@ShaneCarrigan]

WHOA, thats.. a LOT of work.. you're a good son.. and a master designer and builder.. i think in watching your videos, i feel instilled with your qualities and translate them to my own work.. patience, always taking the extra steps, creative flare, telling a story, masterful excellence and a lot more patience... so inspired by all elements of your work.. you are by far the best woodworking channel on youtube

[@dustyray5774]

WOW!You're parents are lucky to have you!

[@Michelle-tz6qh]

I think its really great that you did this for your parents! And it does look like a library!

[@danthemakerman]

Thanks for the video. I really like the way you explain your process and problem solving. And as always, love the stop motion.

[@user-hd8ej8yx9p]

Each of your videos is a work of art, thank you, Frank. I love you

You either have a fantastic Mom, or a twisted idea of payback. LOL (My Mom actually taught me my first lessons in woodworking when I was 7 years old. Bless her heart.)

I love the economy of the single upright instead of the double ones with the box after box set up! Well done Frank!

[@frederikcoelst3874]

So much work into 10 minutes condensed! Explained so that is sounds easy... Mostly insurmountable on my try, ruing what I first commenced. It makes me feel queasy. Internet will ruin my expectations if it can, so great job on the bookshelves my good man!

[@Supermuttt]

Thanks for sharing as always. I like working with my mom in the shop too.

[@StamosTee]

What a great project and video. Nice to see your mom helping out.

[@johnniewalker39]

Aww, this is one of those projects... How rewarding it is, at the end, when you assemble it, to see all the work you've done comes to a neat library that changes the room. And gets used! How rewarding that feeling is...

[@IdRatherMakeItMyself-Net]

It was nice to see mom willing and able to help out with her shelves. Nice job.

This is beautifully done. I just wish we had all these machines and tools.

[@SmallestWorkshopGH]

Thank you for sharing another persons passion for real books, long may both they live 👍👍👍👍👍

[@David_Powell]

Great to have a level basement floor - in any basement I've been associated with, I'd have had to work out a way to level the base along the length. The pocket holes to attach the tops to the wall is a lot neater than the "L"-shaped bits of metal I've used on the past. Nice design - I've never been a fan of the double layered uprights, and your design with the "I" uprights made construction a lot easier than trying to fix the uprights in place, vertical and evenly spaced - brilliant!

[@bunkaisama1]

This is beautiful! What a sweet son you are.

[@Stephen1455]

Wow! Beautiful! They do have a lot of books!!!

[@MrClarkisgod]

Thank you Frank H. I used your method to do built in bookcases/entertainment center for my living room.... and it looks absolutely awesome in here now. I'm also going to watch your kitchen videos again before I built cabinets for my kitchen. I build some cabinets for the garage, and then some nicer ones for the laundry room so far. I'm an amateur, so I needed the practice. I love your channel and have learned so much from you and others. Keep doing what you do. I really appreciate it.
