How to build a Bookcase // DIY Cabinet - Plans available

[@stoneinthefield1]

I like honesty / mistakes and to see how they are fixed. Most KZbinrs hide their mistakes.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks. Nobody is perfect, so why hide it. I make so many mistakes lol you should watch my concrete vanity top for mistakes. Take care!

[@stoneinthefield1]

@@JessedoesDIY I will do that tonight. I do as well, mistake is my middle name, lol

[@glennsmith2762]

Great video, great shelf I use brown paper grocery bags after the first coat of a water based finish. I find it not only knocks the grain down, it also can be easier to get into the corners.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! Yeah, that works awesome too

[@spbaldwin]

Great video! Beautiful bookshelf. I always appreciate when people show their mistakes and how to correct them instead of editing them out and making the process look perfect. Appreciate the honesty. You know have a new subscriber.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks very much, I'm glad you like it! I always try to show any mistakes I make and how to fix it or what I went through for it, if it pertains to the project, we're all human! My bathroom vanity and concrete top were case in point for that. I didn't show too much on those because I panicked and had to work quickly to save the project, but I talked about it and showed the issues after the fact. Anyways, welcome to the crew, thanks very much for joining!

[@andypaine7489]

Great video! And frankly, the "mistake" was even more helpful; I'll be paranoid about that on my project.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. We'll now that you've seen me make it, you won't have to lol Good luck on yours

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Saw this in the intro of the last video I watched and immediately thought… I hope he built that. And I hope theres a video. Went searching… and there it was. I love this piece. Thanks for sharing.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Bought the plans. Looked them over. Printing them out now and going to get my material cut. Can't wait!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Haha nice! I'm glad you like it. It's definately one of the things I'm more proud of. Thanks for the support and good luck on yours! Keep me posted, I'd love to see it when you're done

[@karensymington4835]

that is a great book case. I am interested in making one, you explained it so well

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

[@EagleKeeper86]

My highschool Woodshop teacher always had us keep a journal for each project. We would plan out operations for each day. I do this for every major project I do to this day 20 years later to keep my workflow smooth.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Yeah, that's something I definitely need to get better at, I'm not the most organized person, but I try

[@paulallen5267]

Nice work Jesse. I especially like your drawer front process!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

I recently discovered and subscribed to your channel, and I have to say that I absolutely enjoy your videos. I am a huge fan!!

[@JessedoesDIY]

That's awesome! Welcome to the crew

[@MrBaza70]

Nice build! The end product looks great!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks Barry!

[@harishveeramani2907]

Wow! Fantastic job. The bookcase looks great. Keep up the nice work. Cheers!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@badbear2477]

@@JessedoesDIY Do you put project costs anywhere? Trying to find them on your videos. Would be very helpful to know what the cost for your projects are before committing to them :)

[@JessedoesDIY]

I do sometimes, but for this I didn't because lumber has been very volatile lately, especially in Canada again. And what I say today in the video for me, could be quite different for you, especially a year or 2 later for people when prices normalize again. For this unit right now, it doesn't look like it but I've got $475 into it, not including paint or stain because I had them already. Maybe I'll start mentioning that going forward, thanks. Hope that helps

Thanks!

[@brendanbunnell9426]

Beautiful book case! Currently looking to build one and this is the clear choice. How far out are the plans looking? You did a great walkthrough step by step, I cant wait to see the measurements. Beautiful job.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! Glad you like it. Well I have it fully made now in Sketchup, just need to work on making it into plans, but I can send you the raw images with measurements for now. I need to finish my website before I xan fully have plans up and running and I'll be a bit yet on that

[@MitchCannon25]

@@JessedoesDIY have you wrapped up the plans or have the sketchup files available for this? My oldest daughter has been on a book buying spree lately and is asking for a bookshelf. I would love to build this one for her! I'm happy to pay for the plans as well!

[@ryanrichey4997]

I’ll happily take the plans for this as well please!

[@JessedoesDIY]

I finally have them done and up on my Etsy store

[@ariyanadumon4549]

That's a beautiful bookshelf mate. Well done! I'd be interested to know how the site is coming and if the plans are up. The Girls and I are in need of bookshelves and I'm feeling like it's time for me to build one. :) Ps, I love you work.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it and the things I do! Well, I've got the bookshelf made up in sketchup for plans and just need the site. I've got things picked out for it but haven't had much time to work on it lately. I know what I want it to look like, now I just need to get it done. Trust me, I really want it up lol If you do tackle it without plans and just follow the video, I hope it goes well for you!

[@ariyanadumon4549]

@@JessedoesDIY not quite ready to build it yet, so I've got some time to wait patiently for your site. I know that's a huge hurdle to jump, very proud of you for tackling it.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Ok cool. Hopefully soon here. It is a huge undertaking since it isn't my forte lol Thanks tho for understanding

[@ariyanadumon4549]

[@TheOutdoorsman]

Great video, do you have the plans for this available yetm

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! I have them pretty much made, but I need my website up and I'm in the process for that right now

[@TheOutdoorsman]

@@JessedoesDIY awesome! Looking forward to it

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, so am I lol

[@Neibs]

Great job!!! Did you get the plans finished?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! I'm literally in the process of it right now. Big learning curve

[@Neibs]

@@JessedoesDIY I'm curious. Can you tell me the dimensions? I love it

[@JessedoesDIY]

Oh sorry. I finally have the plans up now!

[@ModMINI]

素晴らしい！You could also use baseboard and crown molding from the wallboard trim section. Lots of great profiles over there.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Absolutely! There are many options, all depends on your taste and preference. Thanks for watching!

[@aegith1816]

What where the costs in materials? Just the wood

[@JessedoesDIY]

Well when I filmed this wood was more expensive so it was $375-$400 for me at the time

[@aegith1816]

Appreciate the reply. @@JessedoesDIY

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime

[@goodlawyer1813]

Nice!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks

[@hotwireman49]

Do you think it would be harder or easier to just put a cupboard down below instead of the drawer?

[@JessedoesDIY]

I guess that depends on if you're comfortable with building a drawer. I have a very in depth video on how to do it if you want to check it out. For me it's a 50/50 split, I just think that down low like that a drawer makes more sense. Up to you!

[@edwardarredondo8678]

@JessedoesDIY thanks for that info Jesse...I ordered all the materials needed and I'm having the materials delivered tomorrow....I ordered 4 extra 2x4x10 boards to screw onto the outside 2x4x8 and 2x4x10 frame to gain that 3 inches I need. I hope that makes sense and does the trick

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime! Yes it does, that should work. Good luck on yours!

[@edwardarredondo8678]

@JessedoesDIY thank you Jesse...I subscribed to your channel now and I can't wait to see your other projects in the future.

[@JessedoesDIY]
