The bookshelf turned out awesome! And the video felt quite high quality and I was surprised this isn't like a 100k channel! Keep it up! The vibes are great 👌🏻

For whatever reason my favorite part of making furniture is sawing parts and doing hidden fancy joinery. But your video style feels really fresh to me and I really enjoyed it, despite not having the usual parts that I tend to seek out. I think it's great that diy projects allow for anyone to find the angle that makes it enjoyable for themselves, even though I'm my case it can turn a bit masochistic due to my aforementioned hangups! Anyway, that's a long-winded comment from a wordy Norwegian who really liked your video about a shelf!

I like that you didn't use $18,000 worth of power tools.

[@brewcitybuilds]

thanks for taking the time to watch. this is just a small whatever project, so hopefully it was at least a little entertaining.

[@joydagenais8752]

[@brewcitybuilds]

thanks joooooy :)

[@nicazzzz]

Looks awesome and the "color organ" is perfectly weird and cool 😅👌

[@brewcitybuilds]

super weird. i literally built the bookcase just for that. appreciate you watching!

[@robin472]

It's very beautiful and a wonderful job!!!! I wonder why you didn't use more wood screws though instead of nails. The legs give it a very nice modern look.

[@brewcitybuilds]

thanks so much! i love those legs. always use them when i build something that calls for legs :) and i did use screws to put it together. the only time i used nails was when i attached the backing for the unit with some finishing nails.

[@btmke312]

love it!

[@brewcitybuilds]

thanks b :)

I love your content

[@brewcitybuilds]

thanks so much! 🥰

[@trailcattoffee]

Wait where did he get the legs/how did he make them??

[@brewcitybuilds]

hi! i wish i was that skilled. i put links in the description of where i got them :)

[@ericareyes357]

What are the measurements of the bookcase? and the measurements for the boards? Thanks!

[@brewcitybuilds]

hey erica! i used 1in. x 8in. x 6ft. pine boards. think i ended up going with 36 in. for the width of it. i took a smidge off the ends of the two boards that i used for the side pieces to accommodate the legs that i attached on the bottom. the ceilings aren’t super high in our basement so overall it was 7 feet tall with the legs. i have all the links to everything i bought in the description. hope that answers your question. thanks for watching and lemme know if you want to know anything else :)

omg, are you doing a parody voice or is that how you really talk?? 😂😂😂

[@caravanrose]

Why do you go UP at the end of every sentence?? I thought that was for valley girls and maybe chicks from Oregon or the OC lol. Trippin me out.

[@brewcitybuilds]

i grew up in california, so i’m not surprised to hear that i sound like a valley girl 🙃
