    OSB is amazing, I made an outdoor step(just piece of osb screwed to 2x6 box frame) leading into my shed. It isn't sheltered from the weather in any way...snow, sleet, rain, ice and/or blazing sun. That was 14yrs ago! Its still going strong. Great shelf build, thanks for sharing! 1:34

    Hi Paul,
    I just wanted to say Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial video. It was incredibly detailed. I was able to replicate this project (minus the lights), step by step, by myself, in 4 weekends. I spent about $1500, which does not include the power tools I already own (lumber is expensive!).

      How many total hours do you think you worked on it? Were the results similar to his? Do you have a lot of experience doing wood work? Thanks in advance.

  • @MichaelHarrington17
    @MichaelHarrington17 5 місяців тому

    Great design and video -I was curious about the caulking used on the shelves before painting. Silicon acrylic latex? I also was a little mystified as to how you installed the led lighting wires. They're a great touch for a library. And yes, you need more books - this is more like a display case! Thanks - this is inspirational for our library room. ;-)

    Hey Stan, when I was hanging cabinets in my shop I had an occasion to hang two side by side like the two in your shed. I turned the left one upside down so the the door was hung on the left side making them open in the center. The shelves were uneven between the two of them but who would notice, or care? I loved the acorn bit. Kids! 3:27

    I noticed you used the shelves for display mainly, with not a lot of weight on them. Do you think using just wood screws to attach the shelves is enough if they are to be used as bookshelves, or would a dado in the side walls be better to provide more support?

    If theres a fire breast in the middle of the room, with a bay window on one side and a alcove on the other side of the walls. How do i buld a unit to hold my paints and books and art equipment? My method for my project is to build on the wall using battens and Mdf wood. Would it work and be sturdy enough to hold my paint tubs? 😊

    • @PaulTranDIY
      @PaulTranDIY  6 років тому

      It was a time issue. I had to have majority of it finished before we had a party at our house and my wife didn't want it to be messy (tools and random things laying around). This was the only way I could finish it in time while working my regular full time job haha. Also I think its less scary for those who want to DIY, they just have to build the shelves which isn't too bad.
