How To Build a Bookcase Part 2

[@MrDottorzeta]

There’s a word that resumes Jon’s concept of woodworking, ant the word is INTELLIGENCE. Lot of skills, lot of sober aesthetics blended together in very well crafted products. And the best is the workshop: an “human” workshop, not a NASA laboratory. Killer woodworker. Killer.

[@raider6511]

Nice to see that you have free plans for this project. Went to the site and couldn't fine these plans. The first plans on DESIGN PLANS was a Modern Desk. Could not fine plans for this project. I also subscribed.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer, A man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman, But a man who works with his hands, his brain and his heart is an artist You are a Artist !

Thanks Glenn!

[@CHLA94]

The noise that mitre made when it slotted together is why I do this job. Lovely work Jon.

[@joekosak9131]

I make all my furniture for my house this way. I tell my wife that this is my artistic release. I love contrast. straight lines. great job Jon.

[@ajdavinci]

i love that ur plans are free thats vary nice of you 👍🏻

[@cdan1768]

I'm trying to locate the plans to download but don't see them on your website. Love the look of this bookcase!

[@genewilson81]

There is one word to describe your work Jon, “Elegant”! Thanks for another great build video!

[@jkmurphy3]

Very nice. A note to beginners - you may need to “kerf” trim lumber two or three times in order to achieve that perfect fit. Be patient. It easier to chop a hair off than fill the gap of cutting to much.

[@dennisdownes9319]

The "old" carpenter joke....." I cut that board 3 times and it's STILL too short!"

[@garymccoy2888]

You make those meters look so easy....experience pays off.

[@woodprojectswithalex2692]

I never ever understand that why someone give him a thumb down!! This is a perfect and beautiful project which is dedicated to us by a gentleman Jon Peters as a free of charge to make it!! I love every single project which is coming up from your channel. Alex Cutterman

[@robertrisk5490]

I am surprised that Jon didn't notice how sloppy the paint job was. You can see the inside of the legs DIRTY with white paint. That is substandard by any means.

[@kurtzimmerman1637]

Very nice Jon. You cannot find furniture like this anymore.

[@MartinMosman]

WOW, Jon! That bookcase turned out gorgeous. Great project - love the natural wood with the paint, nice combination.

[@alexlz7207]

Beautiful work, its full of nice and elegant details, thanks for sharing

[@davidl.532]

Turned out beautiful just one question, why did you not mask off the entire oak wood areas instead of just the outsides?

[@sconrady123]

I was going to ask the same thing looks like crap

[@Luqman899]

@@sconrady123 True... seems like he...missed it? I also noticed the oak top wasn't completely flat..

[@AB-nu5we]

White paint and whilte oak. A great combination. Nicely done. (P.S. Used my belt sander once in eight years, finally got rid of it. Hand planes just got quicker for me. And also, Rotex for stripping. Always interesting to see someone using one.).

[@Sfyre]

It's hard to tell from the video, but did you only sand/scape off some of the paint on the bottom bead molding? It looked like you were maybe going for the shabby chic look but that seems like a different look than the elegance of the project. Again, hard to tell so I thought I'd ask! :-) either way, beautiful project Jon!

[@davidm2645]

Jon - looks awesome! Thank you for not painting the legs and top - I feel that the natural wood makes the project "pop"! Good job Sir.

[@StamosTee]

Beautiful piece of furniture!

[@drumunl]

I really love this bookcase, Jon! The contrast of the White Oak and the painted sections is really cool.

[@dane.1847]

Fantastic work Jon. Can’t wait to build one. 👍🏻

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Hi All! in this episode I'll finish the bookcase by trimming out the flat panels, making a solid Quarter Sawn White Oak top, and installing White Oak bead molding at the base of the bookcase to finish it off. click on the link to Sign up and get the FREE Bookcase Design Plans: jonpeters.com/subscribe/ Thanks for watching and have a great weekend, Jon PS: Makers Mob 72 Hour Flash Sale....only $.99 for the first month: go.themakersmob.com/jon-peters-spring-flash-sale/

Love the look, and the way you used MDF with solid wood.

[@frankrodriguez1977]

Absolutely beautiful Jon. Thanks

[@dennisdownes9319]

Jon; beautiful project and a fascinating tip about the grain on the White Oak. If there's one great tip you have "hammered home"(no pun intended)to us, it's the need to use a wet cloth immediately to clean up the wet clue. Now we know why you didn't this time. DD

[@pedalman4595]

Really Fantastic. Please make that finishing video. Really gorgeous cabinet. Thank you for your content.

[@MikeKapotsy]

Love how it turned out Jon. Thanks for sharing.

[@atomiczombie22]

Beautiful build Jon

[@Fredatbedrock]

It turned out great I like the style it's beautiful

[@PatrickParsonWorkshop]

That has a very classy look. Thanks Jon!

[@Hans.Lavoie]

Very nice job Jon...

[@stevenchavez5979]

Super classy look man. I use that touch the blade on the miter saw to nibble pieces to fit. You covered that some time ago. Thanks.

[@hasmukhvpatel4539]

you are great quality is maintain very well, very calm. love your work.

[@tommyammo6135]

Great work like always Jon!

[@rusticresawed5933]

I think I have watched this video half a dozen times haha. Love all the trim! That being said could you do a video on trim alone? I am new to furniture making and I'm always overwhelmed with the trim process as I don't know much about it. Would be awesome if you went over the different styles of trim, different ways to stack trim, which trim compliments one another, what's your "go to" trim and reasoning behind trim selection etc.. Also, how to make your own trim. Many thanks in advance! - Brian

[@seanhenry744]

Great job, Jon.

[@saulrobertomorales]

And again...awesome build...keep up the great content...!

[@stevecollins9450]

That is a fantastic looking cabinet, Jon. I'd like to see the finishing video.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great project. Great video showing how it's made. Thanks for the free plans as well.

[@woonajung3270]

Wow! It looks very beautiful and classic! Wish I could build like you!

[@dieselmaniac5191]

Thanks for another great and well done video!

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Nice build Jon. Thank you for sharing. Very inspirational.

[@bickybickford]

Looks great Jon very nice.

[@SendItBilly]

Nice work. Would like a follow up on the finishing as you mentioned. Always great to watch these videos. Thanks Jon.

[@johnwinn4213]

Jon you should be ashamed of your self for making it look so easy to build such beautiful pieces.I totally agree with Glenn Goodale`s assessment of you

[@RobinLewisMakes]

So good!

[@Shom909]

Looks amazing I've downloaded the plans can't wait to make this. Thank you Jon.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Absolutely fantastic bud!! So many different ways to change it up a bit too. Leg style, paint color, different bead type for back panel. I mean the options are limitless. But, it does look fantastic the way it is. Excited to see what's next bud. Until the next one, Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@chuckkindstrand]

Hey Jon, glad I was able to find you on KZbin, I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos. I have a problem with tacky finishes on my painted projects that I spray, and that I hand brush. I read that this is due to not allowing the first coat to dry properly, but I have had this problem with ample dry time as well. Any video that goes into detail about painting and dry times and such would be beneficial to many I think. Thanks for the great videos!

[@andrewbrown8148]

Very nice, Jon~! I know that the painting part of the task is pretty straight forward, but I would like to see any additional info you could provide on your process. I always learn something from your projects and discussions.

[@Josh_Luijsterburg]

Well done (in Vermont). You really are in excell 👍👍👍

[@davidreyes1313]

Looks great always jp

[@bedtimestorey3162]

In respect to spraying a paint finish on a cabinet that will have different colors for the face frame and case, is better to fully assembly and tape off one area or the other, which area and why, or paint separately and then assemble?

[@Cradley684]

Really nice job Joh, have a nice day !!!

[@mrupholsteryman]

Beautiful work!

[@sapelesteve]

Excellent build Jon! Beautiful bookcase cabinet & I need to make me one of those. Thanks...

[@martyjosephson4937]

Just a Note Jon, why did you change from the Bosch Miter to the Kapex 120? I hear the Bosch is an excellent saw, so why change? Thanks in advance. The Bookcase turned out beautiful and thinking about building one.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Turned out nice Jon! Thank you for sharing it with us.👍😎JP

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks JP!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Jon!😎

[@rickgordon8377]

Im late watching but hope you can answer: which Finishers choice? The 275 voc or the 550 voc?

[@billblake6954]

Maestro! A question about finishing and spray finishing MDF when matched next to 'normal timber'. What approach do you take with the MDF to 'seal' it so that the final finish between the MDF and other surfaces look the same. Are you using a high build prep undercoat or just using multiple undercoats. Water or oil based prep for the MDF? Did I see you applying the clear coat to the entire cabinet? cheers BB

[@3cwoodworking.charlie759]

Truly a beautiful cabinet bookshelf how much do you sell something like that for

[@LukeJasko]

Great build Jon! The bookcase plans on your site don't seem to involve legs; do you have plans for this bookcase (the one with legs)?

[@paulclark2410]

That's really nice! I'd love to try some molding like that. I'd like to know more about how you fixed the top to the cabinet.

[@MrGeroth]

Wow that’s great.

[@YouT-DJ]

Great job

[@stevewroe8358]

Hi Jon, loved the book case project, adding one of these to my list. I would be really interested in a more in depth video on your painting method, equipment and techniques. I find my projects are let down with the quality of the finish.

[@SendItBilly]

Jon are the plans for this available? I’m not seeing non site but I am subscribed. Thanks.

[@edsonsouza618]

Parabéns belo trabalho.The Best!👍

[@bg73]

I'm interested to know why you painted the white oak moulding? Why not just make it out of MDF?

[@wardprocter2371]

Great build Jon! Thanks for sharing with us. I would like to hear your recommendations for a paint/finish sprayer as well as when you would use one over a brush etc.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks! I’ll get a deeper into finishing in some upcoming videos

[@CameronLienhart]

Are you happy with the rockler hvlp gun? Understanding it is what it is, would you recommend it? Also, what spray set up were you using for the clear coat?

[@esv2239]

I looked for the plans to this bookcase on your plans website but I did not find it. Is it still available for purchase? Please post link if it is or let us know how to purchase the plans. Thanks.

[@jameshorrocks2939]

You put the strip in the back bead board. It didnt line up with the shelf. Was that by design, or was it a layout mistake?

[@johnlawrence2445]

Where can I get that kind of laquer that works in an HVLP sprayer? Also what kind of paint gun is that? I love your work it's amazing!

[@DerickPelser]

I have been following along and noticed that you painted the bookshelf and was hoping to see how you did it.

[@davecurda2350]

Looks great Jon. Love the design but I hate mdf. I’m going to make this with solid wood.

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

What brand of Biscuit joiner is that, and how do you like the Ridged Trim Router now that you have had some time with it?

[@ssquared8076]

I love the two tone feeling with the natural legs and top with the panted cabinet box. Dove white is a great color just a hint off white to give it a very elegant feel. A stunning piece. For the paint are you using the Waterborne lacquers from Ben Moore?

[@RedBeardCarpentryWoodworks]

Turned out great Jon! Love the attention to detail and your up close shots. I am curious on what type of paint you used, laquer, latex etc...

[@denbarris783]

Very nice

[@danielrybin2006]

How do you not use a riving knife on the table saw?

[@chatoyancewoodworks1205]

As always Jon, beautiful work. You definitely have a design style I enjoy. A simple question this time. You mentioned numerous times in these two videos, that you made the bottom bead molding from white oak to "tie the whole thing together". I assumed that meant it was going to have a natural finish like the top and legs, but you chose to paint it. If you where going to paint it, why didn't you make it out of poplar or mdf like the other molding? Did I miss something?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks! No I did sand through the oak bead molding... I just posted a video on my shop talk channel about if you want to check it out

[@muradelmasri6306]

Nice Job

[@bobbysimon9699]

Jon, always love your work, you are true professional. The bookcase came out nice, I like the contrast of natural stain and paint. Over the last couple years, your videos have been a tremendous help to me. I look forward to a Q&A video about painting techniques used. What are good sprayer to buy, how to thin the primer and paint, etc. Also, a couple of shots showed the back left leg still had some paint on it, is that intentional? One more thing, a lot of people probably don't remember the old instagram logo you a put up on your vids, just thought I mention it. I do follow your feed there as well.

[@arielalejandrito]

I like it. You did a great job, although I would like to see more of the painting part I would like to build one of those myself keep up the awesome projects

[@jeffharp8256]

Awesome Job! How do you seal the MDF molding you made?

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Oh, hey man, Mike G again, now that we're BFF's wink, wink, any chance on just getting a small home tour?? Dying to see all the trim work in the house bud. Like I've said our house is 4 yrs. old and it's time to take it from Custom Model House, to real custom "HOME". No worries if not, I know it takes a lot to share such a personal part of your life. I just see the back drops during the times you have posted videos from inside, and it looks fantastic. Until the next one, your boy from South Jersey, Mike G out!!

[@christopherjessngo629]

Bro what table saw blade do you use?

[@ArmyVet76]

I’m very interested in how you attached the top. Are those pieces something you have made yourself?

Yes wooden clips I’ll make a video about them with more detail.
