Love your transparency during the process. I would have made all those same mistakes, but thanks to your patients and video tutorial, I won't need to! lol. Subbed!
Just used this video to build my own! Very much thanks for the idea! Maybe I missed it, but figured I would share the hurdles I ran into that I needed to diagnose beyond this video: For the back supports, the measurement was 1.5”. You will need a second piece of wood for the end caps and the stopper on the bottom. I used the 2’x4’ plywood as recommended and didn’t have enough wood to make the end caps. Luckily I had some scrap lying around that i made work. Again, thanks for the idea and for the instructions! Had fun doing it and saved some money!
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me
Jeff Liou thanks! My nailer indicates that it can be set at min 60 max 80 so I set the air compressor to 70. I probably shot about 20-25 pin nails and I had to use the clamp on 2 or 3 of them that stuck out. Worked at that pressure for the most part! Didn’t need to adjust anything on the nailer however I have the porter cable PIN100 and it can only do 1/2” - 1” pins and cannot adjust to a different size.
Great video! I noticed you countersunk the screws for the end pieces as well as to mount to the wall. Clean look! Any tips for countersink drilling for a beginner? I’m guessing that’s a special bit or extension when you’re pre drilling right? Thanks
Thanks for the compliment Ryan! I got a 4 pack countersink set made by Ryobi for #6, #8, #10 and #12 screws. Tip would be to match the screw head size with the # of the countersink bit and hold the screw up to your bit so you know how deep to pre drill the hole :). If your countersink bit acts as both a normal drill bit + a countersink bit, you can just hold the screw right up to it (like I did when I showed the bit side by the side with the screw) or, if it doesn’t act as both, you can use blue tape, hold the screw next the bit, use blue tape on your drill bit so you know the depth of the screw, predrill, then take your drill bit and countersink the hole to what around what you think would sink the screw head completely. Hope that makes sense / helps!
Haha sure. Technically, you could say that about any DIY project if tools are in the picture. If you find that woodworking is a passion / hobby that you'll do regularly in the long run, it's absolutely worth it. You could try to buy something like this on Amazon - but they won't be nearly as sturdy as these being made out of berch, it'd be really hard to find something that's 4 ft long, and if you did, you'd be surprised at how expensive they would be. You'll find some 2' - 3' feet ones that are jank no problem ;P Appreciate you stopping by the channel! :)
Thanks for sharing this process! Love how the bookshelves look - going to ask my husband to build this for our 2 yo son. How much did the project cost you?
Great work, professional level!
Thanks so much!

Haha awesome! Glad this can help!
Love this tutorial and the kid’s excitement
WOW! THIS IS AWESOME THANK YOU for sharing...

Awesome looking shelves man, those are very well done, and I appreciate how you went the extra mile with everything.
Thanks!

@Zechariah Kenneth instablaster =)
Good stuff man!
Once you figure it out, teach me how to adjust the nailer to sink the heads of the pins.
Jeff Liou thanks!

Great build!
Thanks!
Please don’t wear gloves when using the table saw or other similar tools. Glove gets caught and pulls your hand into the blade.
Thanks, Gary. This was the resounding feedback from another video I made. Lessons definitely learned. Appreciate the input!
Great work 🙌🏻🙏🏼
thanks!
Great video.
Buck Tap thanks!

@@nwkwok Makes perfect sense. Thanks for walking through it!
Best video I have seen, great work!
Wow! That's so kind! Thanks :)
Great project. I also made a similar project on my channel. Good luck
Thanks so much!
Nice don't do you have any plans or a pieces of paper for make it myself.... 🤭🤭🤙🤙 please
Sorry I don't have any plans for it BUT I do think I gave the inch measurement for each cut. Hope that helps somewhat.
gee whiz, it would have been cheaper to buy the shelves on Amazon. My math on the tools run at least $850.00 really cool video but? DIY? next

Anything online will be MDF and particle board and that’s why it’s so cheap. Quality isn’t cheap but it’s worth it.
