    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    The nice thing about Ana projects is she gives minor details and handy TIPS and tricks of the trade like what screw size she is using and why she used Ply, the reasons of using spaces in shelfs etc.. This is really helpful as most of the people who are watching these videos are new to all this and want to be educated on minor details and steps as how things are made. My compliments Ana.

    Hi, Ana... I have been looking at DIY bookshelf videos for a couple hours, I stumbled upon yours & only got into it 26 seconds & thought, "WOW! This craftsman is a 21st century phenomenon"! The shelf cofigurator is awesome! Looking forward to checking out the rest of the video, but it impressed me enough that I needed to pause & just tell you, "WELL DONE"!!!

    I'm not sure if anyone suggested it already but if you're having difficulty with the crown molding options in AK, I would suggest you combine the base board with the crown you're using now, and make a frieze out of the two. You're right with the current crown looking too small, esp. compared to the base.

    I love this. Shelf Help was such a good idea. I haven't checked it out yet but I love the idea. One thought was that it's probably expensive to buy. I'm so cheap I'm always trying to save on materials. BUT... I have a booth at a local antique mall. And I'm finding that the time it takes to process the materials myself is more valuable to be spent building so I can get more pieces made quicker. So I think this is going to be super helpful. And this shelving turned out great!
