CUSTOM TREE Bookcase

- This video shows the start to finish process of building our custom tree bookcase. My boys have an outdoor themed bedroom, but needed something on this wall to help complete the room. My wife came up with the idea, and I went to work building and finishing the bookcase.

Fantastic Job, thanks for sharing.
thank you so much for the kind words. glad you liked it.
I have looked at several different methods of floating shelf installation here on UA-cam. I have to say I like your method the best so far. Good job! 5:53
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it!
thanks for video . nice tutorial
Thank you
Great job :-)
Thank you!
I have s little sheet metal shed myself, this would be a great solution to the piles of crap in there. Thanks! 3:16
No problem at all. Glad you like it!
Great work!! Can you tell me what angles did you use for the tree branches please? Thank you!!
Thank you for your complement. I sell a digital download set of plans that detail all of the dimensions and angles that I cut for the pieces. The link to my Etsy listing is in this video description.
Nice design, what wood did you use? Southern Yellow Pine?
Thank you! I did not use anything special for this project. Normal dimensional lumber that you can find at Lowe’s and Home Depot.
Very nice bookcase, but I just can't understand how do you fix it. Did you lean to the wall then you screw it? Are there bricks or is a wooden wall?
Thanks for the comment. I have all of those details in my digital download, link in the description. The bookcase is attached directly to the wall.
How did you hang it on the wall directly like that? What do you need to use? I was going to use a sheet of plywood, however I really like it on the wall itself. Thanks!
Mr. V I used a Kreg pocket hole jig and long wood screws to secure the book shelf to the wall. It is wide enough to span 3 studs in my wall so the trunk is screwed to the middle and each branch is secured on the underneath side directly into a stud. Thanks for watching!
@@vondypharmadventures7746 thanks!
Nice work what is your estimate as to hours put into this project?
Josh B. Thank you for your comment. From start to finish, the book shelf took me about three days to complete but that included a lot of drying time for stain and polyurethane. It was probably a total of 10-12 working hours.
I just download the plans. They look great and I'm itching to start, but first a question. I have a bunch of 4/4 fir, would this work instead of 2X ?
I can’t say for sure if that would work or not. With using the 2x material that I did, my kids have piled way more books on each shelf than I ever thought they would without any problems with the shelf. So I do think it’s pretty structurally sound, but I think that will have to be a call that you make.
@@vondypharmadventures7746 Thanks for getiing back to me. WE shall see.:)
@@ls5811 no problem at all. Let me know if you have any questions during the process
Hey 👋🏼
Love the tree, I’ve got someone asking me to make one for them ....
I just tried to access the download and it says it’s sold out ....... is there any chance you could make this available again ?
Thanks heaps,
Thank you for your interest in the tree bookcase. I didn’t realize a digital download could go out of stock so that is my fault. It should now be available on my Etsy shop again. Thank you again and let me know if you have any questions.
How did you affix the shelves to the wall? It's the once question not addressed!
Thank you for watching the video. It is attached to the wall using pocket holes and pocket screws. I actually have detailed plans available if you are interested. etsy.me/2uFpM65
بالتوفيق والنجاح الدائم للجميع
Lo que no entendí fue como hizo para pegarlo directamente a la pared, con tornillos?, puntillas?, Cómo se adhiere el árbol al muro sin pegamento?...8:34
Thank you for asking. I secured it to the wall with pocket screws. The screws are in multiple spots along the trunk as well as underneath each branch.
Could you tell me the measurements of the wood and the cuts? Do you have plans?
HBOSS Guzman thank you for your interest in the book shelf I created. I unfortunately do not have the plans/sketches I used to design this. The book shelf is 88” tall and 44” wide at the farthest tips of the beaches. It was important for me to make the branches wide enough that I could secure the trunk as well as the branches to three studs in the wall. I hope this helps. Let me know if you want any more info.
Vondy Pharm Adventures so many thanks
@@pulibertin I know it has been awhile since you asked for plans. I wanted to let you know that I now have plans available if you have not already built your own. etsy.me/2uFpM65
Please tell me what width and thickness of lumber you use?
Thank you for watching. I used 2x10 dimensional lumber for this project
How did you get it secured to the wall?
Josh Edwards, thank you for watching. I made sure that my branches were wide enough to span three studs in the wall. I then used a Kreg pocket hole jig to drill holes in the underside of each branch as well as a couple areas of the trunk. I then secured the trunk and each branch to the studs in the wall with 2.5 to 3 inch wood screws. It has been very secure and sturdy. It is loaded up with books without and fear of failure. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Vondy Pharm Adventures you did great. What size board did you use? Do happen to remember the angle in which you cut it?
@@Bandit4229 I used 2x10 lumber for this project. It ends up being fairly heavy in the end, but it is sturdy and can hold about any size book/kids book without them sticking out off the shelf too far. We now have way more books on each shelf than what was shown in the video, and haven't had any problems. Compared to the horizontal floor, each of the main angled trunk pieces go vertical in a 60 degree angle either to the left or right depending on the piece. Before I started this project, I sketched a scale drawing to make sure it would fit in the intended space as well as look somewhat like a tree. I wish I had kept my original plans, but I think they got thrown away after I was finished. I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to answer them.
Vondy Pharm Adventures thanks man. I appreciate it. I was doing a rough draft last night messing with angles trying to get everything figured out.
@@Bandit4229 No problem at all
Hola , me emcanto me podrias enviar las medidas de las repisas chicas. un abrazo 5:22
Thank you for your interest in the Tree Bookcase. I offer downloadable plans with specific dimensions, angles, diagrams, and pictures. See the link below.

Could you tell me how much its price ?
Thank you for commenting. I unfortunately do not sell these tree bookshelves. I think the cost to ship (due to the weight) would be more than what I would charge for the bookshelf. I would guess that I don't have more than $100 into wood, screws, stain, and polyurethane for this project. Pretty reasonable if you are able to do it yourself. Time is the most valuable part to this project. Thank you again for your interest. Please feel free to comment if you have anymore questions.
I’m new to this. Why the nails on top? 4:21
I used pocket holes and pocket screws on the top of the branches because that was the only way I knew how to get those two pieces of wood secured together. The pocket hole method was at the perfect angle to drive a long screw from one board to the next. Those pocket holes were then filled with a pocket hole plug, sanded, and stained for a flat seamless finish. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again for the kind words in a previous comment.
