Making a large Ash bookshelf (DIY)

[@nattamused9074]

This is the way my Dad was. He’d just make whatever he wanted. It would be a beautiful world if more Dads would.

[@FlokrollProjects]

That is maybe the best comment ever :D

[@CoreyWilson]

I really wish this video was titled “making big ash bookshelves”

[@FlokrollProjects]

hahaha :D maybe i will change it :D

[@rinaldolimadasilva5378]

I do not know what's cooler, what interests me most. Whether it is the making of the furniture, or the interest in reading. Congratulations!

[@FlokrollProjects]

That is kind words, i appreciate them :D

[@robertthompson5908]

Everything about this video is great - the music, the woodworking, the family. I like it when he looks at the pop-up book. 👍

[@FlokrollProjects]

thank you very much (best booktype ever) :D

[@xrtgameryt8008]

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.

[@FlokrollProjects]

That are very kind words :D thanks

[@johnmack1185]

I am not sure what I like better the creativity in the wood design or the video production.Great camera angles, interesting composition in the shots ( I love the dog and the baby) great editing. Nice work! I enjoyed it.

Pleased to see the love that went into making this project. From all the dados done with a single table saw blade to the time taken to look through books while putting them on the shelf. Beautiful and humble and honest.

[@FlokrollProjects]

Thank you very much. That kind of comments are very appreciated

[@mbarraicua]

Thanks! Beautiful work, both the video and the bookshelf. I am sure your child will appreciate growing up surrounded by books

[@FlokrollProjects]

Thank you, and yes i hope so :D

About to move to a new home and make a home for many, many books. So I'm looking at a project something like this. Great work, I love it. Nothing really matches built in bookshelves as a home for a beloved library!

That was awesome....the video production along with the building of that bookshelf. I’m amazed...great job!!

[@JayeVoyaging]

the music is so nice and this project is wonderful! thx for showing us!

[@FlokrollProjects]

THank you very much

[@ZeeshanZakaria]

This is a beautiful bookshelf. And the video is perfect, is shows all the steps how to make it. I am in the same situation like you were, i.e. I have boxes full of books, and a wall which I want to have bookshelf like this. Searching on KZbin brought me here. I think you should put measurements in the description. I found it in the comments 25cm depth x 30 x 60 but I had to search to find it, it wasn't obvious.

[@FlokrollProjects]

i will do it now :D new to this youtube things :D thanks for reminding me, hope ytour bookcase turns out great.

[@FlokrollProjects]

[@jamescrossway4197]

Nice. Great video. You guys definitely should have stained it before assembly though. Would have looked alot nicer, but overall the construction and work done was fantastic. I've always loved wood working, but being a certified FAA A&P(Aircraft Maintenance Technician) I actually ended up specializing in sheet metal working which soon became a new passion for me. Bending, forming, driving rivets, and so on. So I became really interested in sheet metal and composite materials(graphite, carbon fiber, fiber glass, Kevlar, and so on) work as well, overall(primarily aluminum and steel). Theirs so much more you can do with metal and composite materials that one cannot do with wood, it's astonishing. One thing that most individuals find interesting though is that the FAA still requires an individual to take a short (I think it was like 12 hours) course still on Aircraft wood structures as part of our training in order to become an aircraft maintenance technician even though wooden airframes on Aircraft are nearly obsolete.The only down side is, one must have the necessary equipment and tools which can be very costly, in order to perform any sheet metal or composite work at home.

[@FlokrollProjects]

Thank you very much for the feedback. It is not often i use stain, it needs to fit in with the enviroment a bit more. The light ash color is easier to mix with things (in my opinion :D) Sheetmetal work is so awesome. I have wanted to try it out for a long time, but as you say, you do need a bit of know-how and a lot of tools :D

[@bobbywolmartasmr]

Dude, that was flawless

[@PKomogortsev]

Beautiful team work, guys. One question - no need to secure the bookshelf to the wall? Just in case...

[@FlokrollProjects]

Thank you very much, no need to secure, it is jammed into place, and cannot tip because it goes into the ceiling :D If you are really strong, you could pull it straight out though :D

[@jm3356]

Beautiful and well made! Bravo!

[@FlokrollProjects]

[@rickbyno2401]

Great video and job. One question, how did you attach the bookcase to the base you made?

[@FlokrollProjects]

Thank you for watching and commenting :D I am not really sure, it was a real narrow fit, so it kinda just stayed in place :D I think i gave it a couple of screws into the the wall near the window,. :D

[@pauljason3813]

how did you fix the vertical board on the left of the bookshelf? is it held only by the glued horizontal board ends?

[@FlokrollProjects]

only glue. glue is strong :D

[@FlokrollProjects]

Thank you, i think i used approx 300 - 350 USD on the materials in total, so not so bad

[@aldogentile245]

High quality work. Yor are a wood craftsman. By the way, which type of saw blade disc did you use it in order to make clean cuts?

[@FlokrollProjects]

Thank you, unfortunately i am now a wood craftsamn (by far) but i do enjoy making things. :D The blade is a 3mm "standard cross cut blade" thats all i know about it. But the saw itself got good power that helps with the clean cuts

[@OkanMERDEM-zr9pt]

Nope, they will stay. Next owner can choose what to do with them. Thank you for watching

[@LektorEngas]

Hvordan har det gått med avstanden fra peisen til bokhylla? Og du har laget sporene til hyllene på hver side på samme sted i de vertikale bordene, har dette påvirket stabiliteten?

[@FlokrollProjects]

Avstanden har gått helt bra, selv når peisen brenner for fult merker jeg ingen varme ved den ytterste hylleplaten. Jeg lagde sporene på samme sted (tror man kan se det i videoen når jeg banker den sammen) måtte være litt varsom når jeg flyttet platene rundt, men når de ble fylt av lim og tversgående plate ble de sterkere og stivere en før :D

[@LektorEngas]

@@FlokrollProjects Hehe. Så du var norsk ja. Hvilken peis er det? Jøtul F135 eller noe? De er vel laget for å kunne stå nært brennbart materiale?

[@lewisgoose]

Great job! Can I ask- did you mount this to the wall at all? I’m thinking about doing my own bookshelf wall

[@FlokrollProjects]

Hi there, and thank you for watching. I did not mount it at all, it slid in almost perfect, and cannot tip over because of the short distance to the roof itself

long overdue answer, the sizes are 30 x 60 cm

[@hoanghungcuong6343]

Hey Stan, when I was hanging cabinets in my shop I had an occasion to hang two side by side like the two in your shed. I turned the left one upside down so the the door was hung on the left side making them open in the center. The shelves were uneven between the two of them but who would notice, or care? I loved the acorn bit. Kids! 2:52

[@FlokrollProjects]

Hi, i agree with you, nobody will notice :D Hope you have a great day :D

[@jonassandstrom8960]

What is the name of that blu tool you use for the edges on the shelves? And second question, was it easy to attach the "edge banding" and does it still look good?

[@FlokrollProjects]

It is called a "edge banding tool" it is good but not great, I got some friends that have more success with just a flat and sharp knife. Edge banding is super easy and it holds up very well. I would recommend the type that is pre glued :D

[@santiagogomez5445]

Hello, did anyone knows the answer of this question, I want to make it too.

sorry for late answer, the bords are 19mm and the size of the boxes are 40 x 60 cm

Couple questions for you . .how long did this take. Great video but no clear sense of time. Also .. what kind of experience do you have in making stuff like this. is this like your 100th bookshelf?

[@FlokrollProjects]

I think maybe 20 hours? +/- my third shelf. I think this shelf can be built with very little experience. I am educated an industrial designer, so i do got some training in the tools/workshop. Are you making your own?

[@TranTheClever]

seems unwise given how big it is. Could get pulled down on a child.

Jordan Gons i dont think it can. It need to be pulled 30cm straight out. Because of the fit it cannot be tipped over. It would crash in the cealing before moving.
