Building a HUGE Plywood Bookcase

[@davehark101]

top job, well done Shaun! this channel definitely is worth more than 75k subs. my favourite youtube woodworker at the moment.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Man, really appreciate that Dave! Glad you are enjoying my work!

[@dakotaenriquez8255]

I couldn't agree more!

[@xteelps]

Hi Shaun. Great build! I think I will copy your idea and make something very similar bookcase for our office room. I have a question I hope you can answer: I am working with Domino's now for about a year including a project with offset angled cubes which all have 40 and 50 degree angled joints. That was a difficult project! The problem I found is that you need to 'move' in two directions in order to slide in the Domino's if you have for example a 45 degree joint (hope you know what I am trying to say?). It does work as long as you think about how to assemble your pieces in advance! Now I have watched your video over and over and this one the part I just don't get: The outside of the bookcase has 45 degree joints but how do you fit everything together in combination with the shelves/inner grid? Especially with glue applied to the Domino's you have only little time to move the connection before the Domino is fixed by the glue. I talk about what you're doing from 11:00 to 11:15. How do you do this last and final step in the assembly? Just work together with a few people? Hope you can explain this to me?!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yep, I know exactly what you are talking about. Because I was using 3/4" plywood, there is enough flex in the material that I was able to get the dominos to seat both on the 45 degree joints at the same time. It took a bit of persuading, especially on the cabinet with the most vertical and horizontal dividers, but it worked pretty well. Having an extra set of hands helps too.

[@xteelps]

@@shaunboydmadethis Thanks for your answer Shaun. I will give it a try - in a couple of weeks! I do have another question I hope you can help me with: In the video I did not see that you did not do a lot of sanding of the Plywood before or in between your sprayed the finish on? How did you deal with the typical thing that always happens to Plywood: If it gets 'wet' (also clear coat) the fibres seem to stand up and first the after light sanding and the second layer of clear coat the surface is smooth. That would be a lot of work...

[@GregsGarage]

Just to make sure your skills aren't declining, you should tilt all the shelves at 7 degrees for the next one.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Good idea! Don't want to start slipping.

[@HookedTV]

I built a couple of bookcases im totally done with the numerous cuts I can only image what u went thru nice job

[@julietphillips1991]

So much work! 1. I hope you charge that client mucho. 2. Lovely quality plywood...no voids. 3. Is your domino thingamajig still alive? 4. You most definitely always opt for the road-less-travelled. Hence the reason for point no.1. 5. Do you ever use butt joints or glue and nails or glue and screws or pocket screws joinery? 6. Obviously delivery of this gigantic piece intact was not an issue. Conclusion: Excellent job as always. I am inspired to strive for anything close to your standard.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

It was a ton of work! I did get a pretty good price it! Baltic Birch is very lovely! The domino is still alive and kicking. I can honestly say I have drilled maybe 4 pocket holes in my entire life, though I think they are great in many situations, same with butt joints and glue/nails. Delivery went very well with the piece being broken up into four parts. Thanks Juliet! Really appreciate it!

I’m planning on building plywood shelving for DVDs this weekend and I found this video. It’s the first video of yours I’ve seen. Great job with this. It’s inspiring.

[@coleve8596]

Like you I use a lot of full size sheets and on initial cuts through the table saw you have to keep one eye on the fence for drift. I recently purchased a set of Jessem fence guides and it makes sheet cutting so much easier with the guides angled 5 degrees back to the fence. It keeps the sheet tight into the fence.Would not be without them now. Would also like to upgrade to table saw with scroll blade to stop rip out, but outside my pay scale.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yeah, that first cut with a full sheet is always a little difficult. I have an old school set of fence guides I rarely use, so might be a good time to upgrade to some new ones. Or just spring for the Altendorf haha.

[@moderntouchfurniture]

Another excellent video Shaun, thank you! I'm getting ready to do a similiar project, I wonder if I can skip taking each domino out and glueing them, and just glue the edges of the boards. I usually do glue them because I see everyone else doing it, but it takes forever, and they are really just for aligning.

[@scottlward1]

I will come to you 10 times out of 10 for woodworking, and 0 times out of infinity for dental work. Another great build Shaun!! I admire the commitment to your domino. When are you gonna sell some stickers?

Haha, that is totally fair. I have never thought to sell stickers, I just throw them in with template and t-shirt orders. Maybe I will add them to my website for a couple bucks. Thanks Scott!

[@paulbuckeljr8870]

Percent timing! I'm about to start assembling my own plywood bookcases and this was the inspiration I needed to get started. Great build and video!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Right on! Hope it turns out great! Thanks for watching!

[@alanworks4354]

That turned out great! My only suggestion to anybody else doing a similar project would be to cut the outer panels for the case from one long 8' strip and then cut them to 4' sections. This way, when it's assembled, you end up with continuous wood grain on the side panel.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yeah, I originally planned to do that, but ended up just choosing the most defect free panels for the outside faces. Thanks Alan!

[@acraftman2823]

another thought would be 3/8 on the 8 mating pcs to eliminate the 11/2 thick center@@shaunboydmadethis

[@thomlipiczky9021]

Just coming to this video three years late. I'm wondering if you had to offset the mortises on the horizontal shelves, or if the dominatrixes just protruded 3/8" (10mm) or less. I'm glad I found these older vids. Assuming this was prior to FourEyes with Chris?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Honestly, I can't remember if I offset the dominos. Looking at the video, I think I cut the mortises so the dominos only protruded less than half the thickness of the plywood. And yep, this was before Chris and I teamed up.

[@BuddaRal]

Some questions! 1) how did you join the quadrants together and keep it modular? 2) why the changing shelf dimensions? 3) How much did you charge for this behemoth?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I used threaded insert and machine screws to hold it all together. The design was the customer's, so she came up with the changing dimensions. And I honestly don't remember exactly what I charged for this, but it was probably $3-4,000.

[@JTWoodworks]

Spraying is definitely the way to go when finishing this. Great work over all Shaun!

Fantastic job......

[@gasserjoshua7448]

The answer is probably buried in the comments somewhere but what spray gun did you use? It looked like a HPLV gun. If so what’s the brand and would you recommend?

[@danmcdan8278]

Fantastic build and fun to watch. If that had been me building it, you would have heard me cussing up a storm over top of the groovy music as I tried getting all of that together before the glue dried. Jonathan even would have heard me, even without the funnel. (I laughed again just now thinking about that funnel scene! ) I thought the dentistry comment was the funniest in this video. Love your work, keep on sharing, you inspire others.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Man, that thing is massive! I know what you mean about choosing the method you think will be best, and by the end of it, you're wondering if you choose poorly. ha. When I made that Nelson inspired end table with the built-in fridge, I cut all of the strips and just nailed them together, thinking that would be easiest. I think the setup time to use a dado set for the end pieces might have been easier.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yep! It is always hard to know what is going to be the best method. And I imagine if I had gone a different route, I would be saying the same thing on the other side, wondering if I should have gone with dominos. I guess that is just how it goes! Thanks Bruce!

@@shaunboydmadethis and breaking things

[@matonmacs]

Awesome build. Ended up here trying to figure out how to use the Domino for internal joints. When you have Dominos on both top and bottom of a shelf like this do you have to offset the mortises? Did you consider doing through mortises with tenon stock?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yep, they are offset. I thought about it, but doing through mortises presented more hassle than it was worth.

[@matonmacs]

@@shaunboydmadethis Thanks for the reply. I might mock up a through mortise just to try it, but it’s definitely helpful to find out how somebody else who knows a lot more did it.

[@RandallLakedogpix]

Oh no! Dang! Just picked up the Baltic birch for a very similar not quite as gigantic geometric modular bohemian Baltic Birch bookcase behemoth. I too considered dados then settled on dominos. But now, after watching your GGMBBB build, I’m seriously considering a claw hammer and a tin of nails.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha! No kidding. There were many moments of questioning my decisions throughout this build.

[@ddbyrd2001]

Holy crap! That goes for the arduous build and the lying on top part. Lol. Good stuff Shaun.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha! Both were equally as daunting! Thanks for watching!

[@studioviper3016]

How do you stop the dominos interfering with adjacent dominos? For example, let say your vertical plywood is 18mm thick and you have a horizontal shelf either side of the vertical. If you set your dominos to go, say, 10mm deep into the vertical on each side, both dominos will hit each other, right? Do you offset the position of the dominos on both sides? Or do you set the dominos so that they don't go as deep?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I don't remember exactly, but I am pretty sure I offset them.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Haha, that is the extent of my daredevil-ness. I don't think I would make for a good show! Thanks for watching, Wayne!

[@LTVoyager]

I thought I heard you say you laid this out in a CAD program, but then you later mentioned using the dry fit to get dimensions. Usually CAD dimensions are as good as you will get.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I'll use CAD drawings as my road map for a build, but the actual piece will always dictate the exact dimensions needed for everything to fit together properly.

[@RVLtn141]

Do you think it'd be usfel to have an infeed table on the tablesaw to make the bigger boards more manageable..?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yeah, that would be nice to have. Though I have gotten pretty good at running full sheets of plywood through my saw, and that is about as big as anything I will be cutting on it. I might try it at some point.

[@nickelwound1978]

Awesome build! Can you explain how the threaded inserts helped assemble the four quadrants! Thanks!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Wes! I used threaded inserts along all the sides that were against each other. So a countersunk bolt through one panel, into an insert in the panel next to it to hold them all together.

Even if you loaded it up with lead weights, I don't think it would skew. All the glue joints make it just about bomb-proof.

Great book cases! They look well nice and top notch build. One question though - why the paint after assembly? Wasn’t it a massive pain spraying the angles/insides?

Thanks Greg! Yeah, I really don't have a massive amount of clamps, and only rarely do I feel like I need more. I love pipe clamps, and that is usually what I am buying if I am buying anything.

@@shaunboydmadethis Shaun, awesome build, I only have 1 recommendation. When it comes to casework I always cut and fit my parts dry then dissemble for finish.

I'm planning on building a bookcase at some point, but I'm up in the air as to how I want to build it, or more precisely, how my limited space and equipment will dictate how it's built. I saw Darbin Orvar's design and now yours so I can get multiple ideas. I have a question on the straight edge you're using with the Festool that I believe I've seen you use with a circular saw too. I don't see it listed in the tools that you use, is it part of the Festool track saw kit? If not, where did you get it?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Nice, glad it could help give you some ideas for your own! The straight edge I am using here is just a clamping edge guide. I'm not sure the brand, but it is something like this: amzn.to/2UxRLQd which is different from the Festool track saw setup. The Festool track could have been used here also, it is just quite a bit bigger and the little edge guide was a lot easier with the amount of adjusting I had to do.

@@shaunboydmadethis You are very welcome mate. Just didn't want you missing out on any referrals from your link.

[@willford8475]

Are you building the step-ladder to go with it?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, no. But I wouldn't be surprised if they ask me to make them one soon!

[@gkkent]

I love it! Thank you for walking us through your process. Final product looks amazing!!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching, Greg!

[@KingFox76]

Shaun, good video and thanks for sharing. What tool were you using on the table saw to measure the blade angle?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks! It is a Wixey digital angle gauge.

[@KingFox76]

@@shaunboydmadethis awesome Shaun thanks. I have to pick one up.

[@martynsmith6639]

hey shaun I'm building something similar soon, just wanted to ask how long did this take to build and then spray finish? nice job by the way , also did all the pieces sit flush? couldn't quite make it out from the video. cheers

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Right on! I don't really remember, but probably around a week or so. And yes, everything was flush on the front and back.

[@claterpult]

You're sign off is consistently not consistent and you always climb on top of your work... 2 things I look forward to. Great work!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Those are two things I can almost guarantee will be in every video. Thanks, man!

[@Invis_Space]

Anyone know what finish he used? 🙊 i want a gigantic ply bookcase!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I used spray lacquer for this one.

[@tinatipps5042]

Looks awesome

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks!

[@qvindtar]

Inspiring stuff! I wonder what the client is going to use it for.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Not sure, they must have a lot of things that need to be stored. Thanks for watching!

[@HODYODesign]

Boy, it's a lot of work! I will definitely follow your advice :-) Great job as always!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yeah, I think I will be taking my advice from now on, too! Thanks man!

[@TranTheClever]

oh wow! Thank you so much! I loved the techniques you showed! 5:35

[@batman6936]

In the process of a 12" x 11" wall to ceiling one that I frame in place. Its a lot of work for sure. But people have money

[@jimfeaster4837]

Great video

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

I thought I recognized the chubby, short guy! LOL Well done.

[@JeronimoJGC]

How much did you charge for this project? What was the breakdown on materials and labor?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Shoot me an email if you are interested. I prefer to discuss that stuff outside of the public comments.

Thanks, it worked pretty well!

[@sabicsepregi6521]

Good work Shaun! I'm glad u didn't jump off the top of it, climbing up must have been enough of a balancing act!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, it was definitely the sketchiest one so far! Thanks for watching!

[@thedistractedmaker]

Amazing! Nice work Shaun

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thank you!

[@fallofcry]

Oh boy great build, I love the proportions. IS there a name for that pattern or was it random?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you, really appreciate it! No name for it as far as I know. The client sent me a drawing and we went from there.

[@joshuacastleberry1431]

Hey man awesome build as usual. Where do you get your plywood?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! I get it from a local lumber supplier called Aura Hardwoods. They have a few locations around California.

[@3rd_stall]

Yeah! Let Shaun Boyd build this. He likes the punishment.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, I'm good with a break from the punishment for a bit!

[@freshoffthesaw8090]

That thing is YUGE!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, exactly!

[@pcchost]

may i ask how much this was cost to the cx?

[@andytromans1]

Mind numbing Domino work! Well done for sticking with it ;-)

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! It was a marathon for sure.
