Jon, Been watching your videos for years - since I first got into woodworking. Your style is exactly what I hope for in a teacher; no flashy intros or annoying music, just valuable insight from start to finish. On top of that, your builds are as high in quality as your teaching. You're a true craftsman with an eye for quality and design, and I am very grateful that you share your techniques with people like me. Personally, I really enjoyed this format. I don't often have the time for 45+ minute videos, but when it's from Jon Peters, it's must-watch entertainment for the evening. In-depth builds like this are gold. Thank you for all that you do!

[@hensleecalendar4525]

I agree with you, couldn't have said it better.

[@timf5963]

I think beginners will appreciate this format. For anyone new who may be turned off by this 43-minute-long video, please stick around. Always much to learn from Jon Peters' videos.

[@vmoutsop]

I've noticed videos like this don't get a lot of views, I appreciate and enjoy video tutorials like this. Keep it up if you can.

[@mrbilldo4]

I love these types of videos! You are such a wealth of knowledge and a fantastic teacher. More of this, PLEASE!!!!

[@basementbrew]

I learned a lot of practical, fundamental skills here, as well as a few slick tricks. Thank you for filming this build step-by-step. Solid craftsmanship.

[@chrisriney6056]

I very much appreciate the extra time it takes to make these kind of videos. To me woodworking is a process and you break that process down so it is easy to follow and understand as well as entertaining to watch. I always come away with something new. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us.

[@stephenmiinnich327]

Hi Jon - Thank for this video. I’m a retired hydronic heating contractor from Chicago and I just made my first piece of cabinetry based on your videos. It’s a kitchen island with a bookcase at the end of it toward the dining room. Wouldn’t have been able to do it to my liking without your videos.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you Stephen, that’s really great to hear. Really appreciate your comment, Jon

[@CarlosTorres-nm8jf]

Woodworking takes time, is awesome that you take the extra time to make the videos. Explain how to is very important to all of us. Thank you

[@briang5307]

Wood accent at base is a nice touch you don’t see too often. Looks great! Thanks for the great content.

[@MuddFlappRanch]

I like the long form content. I know it does really fit the KZbin algorithm. You are a very good teacher.

[@popixel]

Simply beautiful!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@philcrannick7383]

I like the way you go about explaining the processes of your builds. Also adding in errors along the way let’s the rest of us know it’s not uncommon to make errors, which drive me crazy when I make them. Thanks for all you do to help this community.

[@tonyb2760]

Looks great with the contrast of the painted surfaces with the natural wood finish. Thanks for sharing

[@bridwell34235]

Very much enjoy these types of videos. I have been what I call a 'fantasy' woodworker for many years - wanting to be a woodworker, ut having no time, tools or shop. Now that I am retired, I hope to actually begin to build things for my home. Thanks again.

[@hammer12354]

I am a great woodworker ( wannabe). You do a great job and explain how you do it nicely. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you very much.

[@douglasreybberido]

Thank you for the plans, Jon. Please keep this video coming.

[@tedsobocienski787]

Yes to the format. I can watch and build step by step. You have a great way of presenting your projects.

[@kenc2257]

Nice. Enjoyed this "teaching" format. That bookcase is incredibly sturdy--it will be holding books and electronics (or something else) in another 100 years.

[@JS-ct5jn]

Start to finish videos are right up my alley. Love the process and the result.

[@ericward9468]

Great video Jon! I always love your simple classic designs and that turn in are tired and true well built pieces.

[@johnversluys]

i really enjoy your videos, Jon. They have a real good amount of detail and are quite easy to follow. Please continue doing these types of long format teaching videos.

[@cb3plus845]

Loved this format! Please make more like this. I think it’s also refreshing that you admit your mistakes and even show them. Showing that even craftsman at your level of proficiency make mistakes.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Absolute BESTEST part of this video is the fact I got to kill 43+ mins. while on the clock at work to watch it!!! It was a nice change of pace to essentially watch an entire step bye step build Jon!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Mike!

[@pennyroyal3813]

Fantastic video Jon! Great detail, pace and, thankfully, no music other than for the intro. Earlier this year I made queen size bed storage thanks to your videos and am now building cabinets and drawers for a new kitchen. Again, thanks to your videos. A mobile kitchen island will be built after the rest of the kitchen is installed. This bookcase design, with dimension changes, would make a beautiful island. Of course prior to building the island I will need to rewatch this video several times. Thank you for the long video.

[@danmclean3384]

Hello again from Alberta, Canada. Your videos always convey your experience in the most effective ways...especially for those weekend warriors like myself. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Dan!

[@Jeremy_810]

I like these builds. Simple, elegant, high quality, functional pieces I can accomplish in a reasonable time frame without a ton of setups. I only get a few hours in the shop each week so a lot of complicated joinery can make projects take months as they always tend to get put on the back burner when something else takes priority. I think we can tend to forget a lot of custom cabinetry built in a similar fashion goes out of style long before any sort of failure.

[@gosonegr]

Clean, sturdy, well proportioned, that's a beatiful piece

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you!

[@colincrannis8712]

I love the detailed way in which you step through your videos. They are so useful and informative. Keep it up Jon.

[@rrpp1425]

Excellent. Very informative with great helpful tips. Thank you.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Glad it was helpful thanks!

[@brucemartin5510]

You are a very good teacher, Jon!

[@LucBeauregard-u5z]

Incredible as usual. Thank you.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you!

[@stevenleger8569]

really great job, and I appreciate your effort to go in-depth on this project, thanks

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Much appreciated!

[@troydale2656]

Love it! I learn a lot watching your lesson videos. Mostly making cuts a little heavy, then cut to size for assembly. Very nice!

[@s.kreusler5081]

Definitely getting some ideas here on how to build a better bookcase. I salute you, sir! Thank you for your videos.

[@ericpetitclerc5519]

Thank you for showing a cool project, and leaving the mistakes in the video... I learn a lot more by seeing what can go wrong.

[@jfinaz99]

The format is great, project choices great, teaching skills great. Thanks Jon.

[@joekosak9131]

Please more videos like this one. Awesome looking bookcase. I love the painted base and finished top.

[@simpleyeteffective233]

This is my next project! Please keep these videos coming - they’re incredibly useful!

[@mrford116]

Love this format, the longer video both gives me ideas for project details/methods and lets me get some of the satisfaction of woodworking while I might not have the time to be in the shop. Really appreciate your work!

[@ceasrmata3167]

Great video...I'll keep watching your videos....

[@deborahlopez7147]

I love this video it’s exactly what I’m looking for. I’m about to make a very tall book case for inside for all my canning jars so it needs to be sturdy. Thank you

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s great! I’m happy the video is helpful. Thanks for the comment!

[@mryarrow2532]

Great tutorial video! Thanks Jon

[@ruthrazo4647]

Thank you very much it helps me get out in the shop!

[@carbonfe]

Love your projects and I've made a couple that are in my home today. Making build videos seems to be out of vouge right now, but it's what I want to see regularly. Thank you for the extra effort and time you put into your work. Personally, I've learned so much from your content. I'm very grateful for the knowledge you've passed on.

[@dirtychevyful]

Love this format and all your videos. As a newer woodworker it’s very appreciated! Thank you for all the help all your videos provide!

[@allenstaley]

We like this format keep them rolling! Nice Work! Love the classic design!

[@truthymchurtsalot7188]

Absolutely love this format. You explain every step you’re making with ease and clarity. Your furniture designs are stellar. Love the bead moulding at the base in white and the sapele natural. #noepoxy 😂

[@munkytaint666]

(another) Beautiful project, well made and well explained. That one will last for several lifetimes. Cheers

[@benjaminmckinney365]

This is one of my top enjoyed watched videos. Awesomeness

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Benjamin!

[@charlesthomas1539]

Beautiful job

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks!

[@dominickmendoza7813]

Great video and project, Jon. Thank you for the concise instruction, from cutting and assembling to finishing. I enjoyed it, and will get to work on one or two for my granddaughters.

[@pitsnipe5559]

Usually I’m not a big fan of painted furniture, however both the bookcase and desk turned out very nice. As you were building it I thought it would be for the She Shed as it goes well with the desk.

[@mpl624]

Love your work, Jon. Your videos helped me gain the confidence needed to put a small shop together and start making furniture for my family. Thanks for what you do and keep it up.

[@hectorflores6097]

so well explained, thanks Jon.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you Hector

[@jacktyler7599]

What a wonderful Thanksgiving present to this audience. Great project, clearly presented, warts (small mistakes) and all. It's great to once again see a project that's completed with Waterlox finish, probably my favorite of the finishes I've chosen in the past. Thank you, Jon.

[@badgerdog9898]

Awesome video, and the bookcase looks great. I recently took up woodwork and have been buying a few tools here and there and i think this project is in my experience range. Im going to give this a shot. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. You made it look so easy, and hopefully, i can do it justice. Lol

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s great to hear! Thank you… Good luck with the project … take your time and you’ll have no problems… Just remember we all make mistakes and no project is ever perfect.

[@DennisDillon73]

Love the show and tell aspect of your videos.

[@SendItBilly]

Love this format. Just like the larger bookshelf you built years ago.

[@abderrahmaneadjimi1320]

We enjoyed doing a more than wonderful job, thank you

[@funvideos2633]

You make it look easy. I always get a few tips from your videos. Thanks.

[@robinganzel1082]

Excellent video. Completely enjoyed. Please continue with this format.

[@brucen4719]

awesome video - thanks for showing all of this!

[@leeherbert1525]

Great video! Step by step really helps us understand the build process...

[@Larry-vl7ew]

Beautiful well-done

[@ChuckP25.]

Thanks Jon. Thumbs up!!

[@bellot1]

WHAT AN AMAZING CLASS.... I'm just a beginner. a bit over whelming. i just have to go for it and see what happens

[@jameswilliamson8743]

Great job jon

[@SuperWingman69]

Jon, thank you so much for your time and effort in bringing us such great and useful content. You are a very talented and skilled craftsman. I look forward to utilizing what you've taught me and so many others. All the best!

[@СергейНазаров-с6д]

Спасибо, Джон. Просто замечательно! Немного природного материала, много старания плюс философия созидания и получается гармония - искусство из под рук мастера. Традиция в мастерстве, традиция в истории.

[@fixitwithzim]

Excellent Jon, keep ‘em coming!

[@reese1ja]

Hey Jon, great video. I love all the details and close ups that share your knowledge. One request is to show a video of your shop, the size, and how it's set up with dust collection. Thanks!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks! That’s really great to hear

[@kevlarnegative]

Fantastic!

[@cdinusha1]

Great lesson Jon, really enjoyed a true craftsman explaining all the thinking behind each step!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you!

[@alonzohollingsworth7712]

Great instructional format video. I get a lot out of your videos, from the approach to the execution as well as the tips sprinkled in between. Keep them coming👍👍

[@davidmartin9045]

Thank you another great video your way of doing them reminds me of the way Norm did his another great teacher

[@hassanmohammed2790]

Nicely done work Jon Peters.

[@BMOORE344]

Love your video's I actually built one of your other bookcases about 3 years ago. wife loved it. thanks

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s great! Thanks!

[@joeobrien196]

Entertainment and education all in one video.

[@genejarussi3731]

I appreciate this format and look forward to more. Thanks

[@frank_jk]

This was great. I’m just getting started but your build is great inspiration. I’d certainly watch more of these. Thanks!

[@vincecaggiano3297]

I always enjoy your videos and this format is awesome. Thanks.

[@PeteSanderell]

I do love this video. You do a great job explaining everything. My only criticism is, I don't have a table saw or mitre saw like that. Can you make a video with less expensive equipment that will give me more confidence that I can do something like this?

[@singe81]

Excellent video Jon. I really like the format. Thank you for the time you spend making these videos. And yes, please no epoxy pours!!

[@MrDorf007]

This guy reminds me of Norm Abrams in the New Yankee Workshop. Great video and love the explanations.

[@David-ew9rg]

Great video and project. Love the terrific instructional format. It may be a longer video but very in depth and simplifies the entire process.

[@Bernardgrubb]

I would really love to see you make something out of all lumber not just plywood. I am just getting back into woodworking and I avoid using plywood if I can. I realize the price may be an issue but my clients prefer solid wood and I market it that way; no plywood used... Thanks and I really do love your videos and look forward to seeing much more. Thanks

[@jscook54]

Love this format. So helpful and I learn a lot for my future builds. Thank you for your work.

[@natarajansugumar5671]

Looks Smart and beautiful.💐💐💐

[@bkreations5763]

Great project! Great video as always . Love that you take the project from start to finish very educational. Would love to try this one myself.

[@davidgleason6263]

Great lessons, hopefully learned for my own attempt. Thank you!

[@DavidBishopinc]

Another excellent project and video from a master of his craft. Happy thanksgiving Jon.

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Looks great

[@nils1953]

Very educational thank you! Greatly appreciated that it's all in one part.

[@fishhead1108]

Really a great video Jon, thank you so much for the detailed build.

[@williamprescott2794]

Great video Jon! Love the format and the detail.

[@keith7630]

I’ve just come across your channel and have watched a couple of your long build videos. I have to say, your presentation and skill level is top notch. It’s almost as if I’m watching a modern version of The New Yankee Workshop.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you Keith! That’s really nice to hear. Have a happy Thanksgiving 🍁

[@keith7630]

@@JonPetersArtHome You’re very welcome, Jon. I call it like I see it. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well!

[@joemule8858]

Thank you for the video, I found the format really informative and easy to follow! Bookmarked to revisit for potential future build.

[@luigiseli2552]

Love the format . . . Thanks for your time

[@jbfam7208]

This video was absolutely amazing. I NEEEEVER watch long videos but this one, because u made it simple and used common tools, really captivated my interest from start to finish. Can u make a dresser tutorial??? That would be awesome! Lord bless u my friend!

[@altorres4760]

Fove the format!!

[@naamahnewth5328]

This is a super helpful video. I really love the step by step and learned a lot!
