It's funny you said that - I keep thinking it has a "Town of Bedrock" vibe to it.

[@DarkPriestessJae]

I was super stoked to see this DIY since I’ve been drooling over that shelf for a while. Then you showed a screenshot from “The Honest Carpenter” and I was like “Holy ***^! I know that guy!” - He worked with my husband at a bookstore for several years, and then decided to go into carpentry. I remember being excited for him, because it just seemed so natural to him and he seemed so passionate about it. Glad to see he’s still out there going strong! BTW - your shelf replica looks great to me! Might even try my hand at it when I have a little more time to work on a project!

[@jennifer6278]

Stupid question: why didn’t you cut the wholes before attaching the board to the frame?

[@TheRaquel84]

I thought this, just put the front piece flat, lay the bookcase on it to draw where the holes match up, jigsaw them out then attach??? Lol looks good tho,I like it 😀

[@xylindria9077]

Might have been more room for the saw blade being on the book case?

[@lilybee_]

@@xylindria9077 I'm thinking this too. It would be alot of maneuvering to cut the holes on a table. I wondered why she didnt cut it in sections then fill in the cracks. Would be a good use for smaller scraps of wood if you have it. This is my fav Danie dupe so far!!

[@mala3isity]

@@TheRaquel84 I thought about this, too. Place the piece on sawhorses and use 1/4" or 3/8" plywood instead of MBF. She wouldn't have to use such a downward force to ease her wrists. Maybe a Dremel on the 1/4" plywood?

[@Callatya]

Possibly support too. I thought the same thing but once I saw the MDF and all those holes, yeah, probably best to attach and then cut.

[@annarchydeclutteranddesign413]

I made the same sort of tent around the edges of our attic stair manhole, including on the floor, just the other day, so I could avoid rat dust coming down while I went up there to screw some timber where I wanted to hang a chandeleir in our dining area.

its beautiful great work that i love to watch, but this channel feels too advanced to call it diy (at least for me). its not common for people to have these tools, the space or knowledge to do it themselves. i wish i did! it would be amazing to be able to create your own custom pieces.

yea lol like let me make this out of paper mache and joint compound. this is why the bookshelf IS almost $800- because a worker had to spend the time to build it too! always worthwhile to make your own pieces when you have the tools and resources but yea this isnt really a diy lolololol

so cool you made this! I've been thinking about a way to make this with an existing bookcase. To make it look like it just came out of a Grecian cave, I would mold chicken wire and use plaster to make the rounded cubby holes. Something like that, for those of us who don't have woodshop skills.
