Hi Zac. What I like about the build, regardless of the wood type used, is that it makes its own quiet statement in the room. It's not loud, but it lets you know. I think it's the solidness that speaks out. Good job. Have a magic Christmas, from South Africa
I definitely agree with your verdict on the PolyShades. On paper it sounds like it would be more convenient similar to a paint and primer, but the finish mixed in to the stain makes it more difficult to work with. I stopped using it after a couple projects
Totally agree with you. It's not bad for small projects (those little IKEA wood boxes come to mind), but anything larger I can't get an even coloring on them. Then there is the finish build issue. I usually put at least 4-5 coats of regular poly on, but you can't with PolyShades as each coat it gets darker. By the time I get enough finish build, it's way too dark.
For the yanks in the audience, that 250 Canadian Dollars is more like 40 US Dollars. :> What's really missing on youtube is budget milling. Taking cheap lumber and making it square on a budget. I'd love to see that. Great video as usual.
Nice work 👏🏽, my wife got me a 8 peace craftman tools and it has all that you using in this video so that make me comfortable that i can do some woodworking as soon as it get warmer in the Midwest USA 😀
I agree with your thoughts on the polyshades finish. I used the black colour to match an artificial wood finish on a table and it’s a very challenging finish to apply and get quality results.
Ya I'm kind of disappointed in Minwax, everyone I talk to doesn't really like this product haha. I suppose there are some situations where it would work, but not a whole heck of a lot
Maybe if you applied some blue tape before drilling the holes and after inserting the dowels, the saw wouldn't scratch the stain. I haven't tried it but I thing it might work. For this build maybe it was more trouble, but for a build with a more time consuming staining job it could have been helpful.
Hello my friend. You just rebuilt your old project. . An economical and beautiful design. I congratulate the winning friend in advance. I think you will make the announcement on January 8th. Good idea. Good job. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. See you. I wish 2021 to bring health, peace and happiness to all people. Happy Christmas. big greetings.
4:38 . YES! Finally! Someone who gets it! I was a none believer too. But man! Once I used a conditioner my eyes were open wide! 👀 Another great one Zac! Keep em' coming man. Killin' it!
Enjoyed the video/build. I use the same conditioner on all soft woods. Not perfect, but works pretty good. Agree with your assessment of the stain/finish combo. Same issues when I used it. I am considering different ideas for shop shelving. Don't want the standard all metal gorilla shelves. I may be able to adapt this for what I need/want. As far as the Toronto area give away, I have a friend living in Toronto and it would be prefect for him. Maybe I can see it once all the COVID restrictions are lifted.
Dude super small channel and you’re still giving stuff away. Man I love the content and am a big fan, great work and I hope whoever gets the shelf loves it (I’m not in Toronto)
Thank you so much! That makes me really happy to read haha, sometimes I'm editing this videos in a bit of a vacuum and unsure if anyone will even care when I post them haha
Great looking bookcase! Very clever design. Thank you for sharing! My daughter is going to be so excited when i surprise her with this in a week or two...
Hey Zac! Saw the build on Reddit and would love to throw my hat in the ring to win it. I am from Toronto too, so I'm local. Great video and I enjoyed the photo gallery and comments as well!
Looks great! I've done a few projects with the through-dowel-joinery recently. I found that taping off the whole face of the saw behind the teeth with some painters tape gives just enough offset that the dowel still comes off flush but without marring the surface - ar at least not nearly as badly if it does.
Good tip! Thanks John! I'll have to remember that for next time. Makes total sense though, just adds a slight shim to the blade and raises it ever so slightly
As usual a terrific build. Love the way you showed the various ways to accomplish the same things. Sharing it with my son who would like to start woodworking. Martha from Hamilton
Thank you Martha :) I'd like to do more of these videos because I know not everyone has the same collection of tools I do. I don't want people to think that in order to make stuff you need to have a massive collection of tools. There's always ways to get the job done. Hope you and the family are doing well and enjoyed the Christmas break!
Subscribed - I came to see the contest posts. You already designated a winner. This project just showed up in my email today from HomeTalk. Good luck but you don't need it. Beautiful work. I don't use Instagram - 😜
Love, love, love your projects and super appreciate the detailed materials lists and advice. I also had a unfavorable experience with the combo stain and finish. Built an industrial style oak and pipe desk for my son and tried it. The product was so difficult to apply evenly and ended up almost gummy. I sanded the whole thing clean and re-stained and finishing with separate processes.
Thanks! And ya I'm with you, from now on I'll keep the two seperate. I almost wish I just went with a stain and a nice oil rub matte finish on this shelf. Maybe next time!
Awesome video Zac! With regards to staining pine I find that conditioner definitely helps but I usually apply the stain on the first coat with a sponge then wait 30 or so seconds then wipe if off with a rag. Had some awesome results with this method, hope this helps!
Thanks Braden! I actually pleasantly surprised at how the pine looked after staining, if you can avoid the blotchyness its got a really nice natural grain
Awesome build had to share with my Mom and her husband as their looking into opening a bookshop and this is EXACTLY in their style! Earned the sub the like and now I'm off to check out your other projects!
Thanks Salvatore! Hopefully more people find my channel soon, but as is 23k is still a lot of people as far as I'm concerned, I'm flattered so many people are interested in seeing my work
Hey Zac, thanks for the inspiration. I ended up making a bookcase built off this design for my daughter, but with an epoxy river pour down the middle of each shelf. i'll see if i can send a photo of it to your site, as i definitely couldn't have done it if i hadn't seen your plans as an inspiration/guide. Thanks!
Love this Build!! Subbed your channel yesterday after watching the desk build vid and since then I have watched all your vids, sending love from Mumbai Wishing you Merry Christmas!!
There's not really any point in recording the speakers directly. You're introducing so many layers of complication. The room I'm in, the microphone I use, the post processing that gets applied to the video, the compression that youtube applies, and finally the quality of speakers the viewer in listening on.
Just found the Channel and i instantly subscribed ! Would you ever consider makeing small measurement notes in CM for us across the pond? :-). I know conversion is a thing but they ofte are abit off, when compared against each other. I hope this aint too much off extra work for you! Love the content. Cheers from Denmark
Nice video Zac! I'm really happy when I get the notification you uploaded a new one! Keep doing this awesome work, can't wait for more project. I'm a fan from Italy, guess I can't get the bookcase! ahaha
Thanks Gianni! And sorry not this year, but maybe next year I'll be able to work something out and ship something world wide! Cheers and happy holidays!
At 12:15 in...did you consider counter-setting the angle iron pieces so they would be flush with the wood surface? A lot more work I know, but it might really amp up the piece as a whole.
I did yes! My thinking here was to keep it as simple as possible to keep as accessible as possible, but you're right it would look better if the steel was flush with the surface of the wood.
@ridebikesnaked love the look of this bookshelf, even if I do not win, you've inspired a design for me for something similar later in my life when I build a place!
Love it. Keep up the good work Zac! 2 questions for you though .... 1) why did you choose to put in the dowels from the "outside" instead of hiding them on the inside of your butt joints? and 2) what did you do for a "makers mark"? You didn't show that step and I'd like to see your "brand". :-) Cheers!
Thanks berry and good questions! I did the dowels from the outside for 2 reasons, 1 it's just easier and I wanted to keep the build as accessible as possible and 2 the screws I used on the original were visible from the outside so I wanted to keep the dowels visibile as an homage. I was hoping they would contrast a little bit more so they were more visible, but apparently poplar stains very similarly to pine haha. And for 2) I used a branding iron, a simple electric heated one. I really wanted to include that in this video, but the footage got messed up so I had to scrap it. I plan to do a video about how to use a branding iron ASAP though, so keep an eye out for that!
Haha thanks Leah! And yes, good eye! I recently upgraded the roomba in my house, so I took the old one out to the shop. I havent' set it up yet, but my hope is that it can pickup all the little bits I miss. I'll schedule it to run at like 2am so it doesnt disturb me while I'm working and hopefully the shop should be nice and clean every morning.
Nice build! In retrospect, which stain would you recommend? I can't really go with big expensive nice looking wood, and I often have to stay with pine which is boring :( Just trying to find a cheap solution to make my appartment look nicer :)
Man, this bookcase is awesome!! Such a great design 😍 Can I ask what is probably a really noob question 😅 What are the benefits of the more expensive types of wood? Is it just a looks thing or does pine have durability/other issues? 🤔
Thank you so much! and that's actually a really good question. There are practical concerns, more expensive woods tend to be denser and harder, so they're a bit more durable and less prone to scratching. Mostly it's just subjective though, people just like the colors and grain patterns of more expensive woods. Hope that helps!
@@ZacBuilds Thanks heaps for responding! That helps a lot actually 😀 Currently planning a custom desk - and I’ve never built anything before 😅 #makessenseright?! - so I’m trying to gather as much info as possible so I can attempt to get it right the first time 😄🤞🏼 And thanks for your vids! Have watched a bunch more since I posted this and they’re super interesting, and really well filmed & edited. You’ve got a lot of talent and knowledge my bro, appreciate you sharing it! 😊🤜🏼🤛🏼
Great video Zac, as always. I am from the Toronto area and would love to have this book shelf. My instagram is @concept.north its funny because I didnt realize you dropped a new video and it was girlfriend who put it on. At any rate love what your doing and happy to see another Toronto maker doing it!
I found a new channel to subscribe to! Very cool to know you're in Toronto. That bookshelf is stunning. I still have the pine side table I made in high school (first project I ever made). Totally agreed on the poly combo stain, so much more painful than separate steps. @kwaugh65, Toronto
I live 1.5hrs outside Toronto but would love to enter anyway. @daswauto is my IG. I’d either use it to park my built Legos or give it to my brother as he just moved out of my parents’ house. If I don’t win I’ll probably make my own because it’s a tidy design and should be doable with my moderate tool selection and mediocre skillset. :)
Thanks Mike! Happy holidays buddy, I hope you're doing well lately. I remember us talking about the first version of this bookcase I built years ago haha
If I end up making one of these for my next apartment I'll have to tag you on Instagram! Too bad I'm not in Toronto so I can't enter. Minnnesota is close but not close enough :(
Great stuff as always Zach! Been following your work for a while and always recommend my friends to check you out. Can’t wait to see what you build this year! - A fellow Torontonian @alexsperri
Hmmm good point.... I didn't think about that. I just need a way to get in touch with the winner afterwards though. If youre comfortable leaving your email address thats fine too
@@ZacBuilds I can do that! Tbh I'm not currently in Toronto at the moment but I have family there and am heading there hopefully in April so idk if that's asking too much for you to hold it that long for me to drive but this COVID shit makes travelling internationally seem radically irresponsible before I'm vaccinated (hopefully in February or March)
This is so beautiful, this contest directed me to your page with so much other lovely builds.
@hollburton
Congrats Holly, you won!
I'm watching a year later. Thanks for an accessible and inspirational build. I am thinking of re-creating this too.
Hi Zac. What I like about the build, regardless of the wood type used, is that it makes its own quiet statement in the room. It's not loud, but it lets you know. I think it's the solidness that speaks out.
Good job.
Have a magic Christmas, from South Africa
Thank you Glen! That's really nice of you to say, happy new years from Canada :)
I definitely agree with your verdict on the PolyShades. On paper it sounds like it would be more convenient similar to a paint and primer, but the finish mixed in to the stain makes it more difficult to work with. I stopped using it after a couple projects

I've watched this build at least 5 times. The more I watch it the more I want to build it.

Hey Zac
Just wanted to let you know that i'm building not only one, but FOUR of these to my new café here in Denmark!
Great looking bookcase! Very clever design. Thank you for sharing! My daughter is going to be so excited when i surprise her with this in a week or two...

Excellent idea! I love walnut, but I enjoy pine quite a bit. I really like the grain. Especially like the price.
Thanks Braden! I actually pleasantly surprised at how the pine looked after staining, if you can avoid the blotchyness its got a really nice natural grain

@aftwelve on IG, first contest that is for Toronto area people only
I'd love to make it more open to everyone but Toronto people are lucky this year haha.
Why not pre cut the dowels?
💯👍👍
Love your videos! Question... in your shop, you have some GREAT lumber storage racks. Where did you find these? Keep up good work!
Thanks Joanna! My dad actually made those lumber racks himself by cutting steel angle iron, like I used in this video, and welding them together
Great video, perfect exit as usual. Do I see a roomba in your shop? How does that work out?
Haha thanks Leah! And yes, good eye! I recently upgraded the roomba in my house, so I took the old one out to the shop.

Fact
This looks cool but an Ikea Kallax 4x4 is twice as big for $119 USD. Is Ikea more expensive in Canada??
Amazing! And very encouraging to build my own!! @lovelydeception
