This is Part 1 of a video series on building a bookcase or bookshelf for you home. This step by step guide shows you the tools, tips, measurements and techniques needed for this project.
Jon it's amazing how your little details make a piece made out of plywood look so elegant. Great project. Thanks for the video.
No matter how many book cases I have made over the years my wife always wants one more! :) Love the bead board for the back! Very sharp!
Chris Pine Always need a bookcase : ) Thanks Chris
GREAT project and video, Jon!
John Heisz Thanks John
Your daughter is so lucky to have you! I adore the beadboard backing!

Just watched it again for like the 10th time...except that today (Sunday 8/30/15) I'm building a new closet shelves for my daughter and I just want to thank you very much for all the detail explanations - which now today make a whole lot of sense and makes the project look much better..this video is really awesome! Thank you Mr. Peters!!!
Your videos are the best. Clear. Concise. Accurate. Precise. Well thought out and shot. These give me hope!
señor peters, usted se ha convertido en una inspiración para mi... gracias por sus videos
I tell you what I'm a beginner at this and just learned two cool things. #1 seeing your crosscut sled I figured out how I can make one. #2 the way you use your sliding miter saw. Your video taught me a lot but two really cool things...thanks.
Looks great. I love how your artistic eye meets basic cabinet making to produce something outstanding. Both carpenters and artists have a proclivity to overcomplicate things but you have the gift of seeing design with such clarity that the piece is beautiful and interesting in itself without the need for ornamentation or ostentation.
Benvolio Foster Thank you
Very talented! I love your work! All American work..doesn't get any better!
Thank you
Jon,
Well, I just watched your video from 7 plus years ago. I really enjoyed the design and your step by step instructions. You did not miss anything - it is strong, good looking and very functional. One great video equals one like and one subscription. Can't wait to see more !
That’s so nice to hear! Thanks Don
Man of Moldings return! Great video John as always, looking forward to the finishing process!
Tamás Elkán Thanks
That's a really nice design. I look forward to seeing it all finished!
You made it look so simple. Thank you for this beautiful and informative video Jon! Wish you well. You are doing a fantastic job!

Great project Jon and I really like the way you trimmed it all out. It's good to see you can still get a laugh out of all of this.

GiddyUp994 Thanks Derek
Very very nice vid on how you designed and built this bookcase. Great editing too, not a lot of boring shots of you sawing up everything, you mentioned how you did the task, showed us how you did it, on to the next shot, thank you.
From Missouri
That is a really nice looking bookcase Jon. While I'm not in need of a bookcase now, I'll keep this video in mind should the need arise.
I love the attention to detail you devote to your builds.
I am looking forward to how the project will look finished and installed.
Too, I enjoyed the outtakes.
Scott L Thanks Scott

+Phurba Lama Awesome..thx
Looks beautiful and simple.
man, for me as an amateur this is so unbelieveable ... such a great job !
Great looking bookshelf, Jon. My skill set is still in the small case style builds at the moment. That's why I watch your channel, and many others like yours, though - to learn new skills and techniques. Can't wait to see the next videos!! Thanks for producing them!!
Thanks Chris
Absolutely awesome, Jon! I'm looking to build a bookshelf for someone so they can store some knick-knacks on it. I'm going to follow you build - I only hope it turns out as well as yours did. Love your videos - keep up the awesome work!
Thanks Rob....go for it
Nice build. All the little molding details really makes the difference.
Thanks Marty
Very well done. I have quite a few bookcases in my future for my wife. Thanks for some ideas.
Jay Bates Thanks Jay, yeah you've got a some big walls in that new house a few bookcases will be nice...... fun to make not so fun to paint : )

You make all your builds look so easy Jon. Keep on posting. Love your work. Cheers from Australia.
Your miters and molding is always so amazing!
Thanks!
***** is it just practice? I can't seem to come up with good corners, even on 45° angles.
love it, great job, your daughter will love it.
Man u nailed that molding!!!! That is a difficult skill to master and the smaller the cuts the harder to match

G'day Jon, very much enjoyed this video looking forward to seeing the finished product, am always impressed with your presentation Tim. PS: don't let a couple of bee stings make you give up beekeeping just suit up always never take the bees for granted
Will do thanks Tim
Beautiful! Exactly the thing i needed! Take care sam
Sam van Gils That's great Sam, thanks for the comment.
Ok...your crown molding skills are amazing!!!! You make it look so easy! Do you have a video on working with crown molding? I would watch it! I would've went through 14' of crown and STILL wouldn't be able to get it. Hahahahah!!!! A video with some of your tips on doing all those inside/outside corners so close together would be awesome! Thanks for the videos!! I always enjoy watching them!!!
joeserb1111 Thanks Man, That's a good idea I'll try and get one up
***** Thanks Jon! Keep up the great videos! I always look forward to them!

Nice quick-and-easy build without looking quick-and-easy. When will we see some stain grade projects? You seem to paint a lot. Maybe just a video on how you'd cover nail holes on something you're dying or staining? Keep up the good work.
Great looking project. Thanks for posting.
Tom Pritchard Thanks Tom
Looks a little tall for your little girl. Great looking book case. Thanks for video.

Ya make it look so easy. Awsome.
A+ work, Jon, as always! Thanks for the great walk-through
Leonard Constant Thanks Leonard

MP Woodworking Thanks Man
Nice work Jon,you are my guide for my next life as woodworker haha
Simply amazing!
Great video Mr. Peters! Just last Sunday I went with my wife to Ikea to look at some book cases for our living room and although they are not very expensive i much rather build my own, I just wish i knew how. But I think I will give a shot and will definitely start by building a bookcase for my daughter as well. Really enjoy how you work in the molding with the design, it truly makes the project stand out. By the way, why not drill the holes for the shelves prior to putting it together? Thanks!
Michael R Hi Michael, sure you could drill the holes first really up to you. It's a simple build just take your time and you should have no problem.
Looks great ! Good job Jon !
Yes...definitely enjoyed the video. Great skill you have.
very nice work!
Great carpentry skills you got there. And great video too!
A very nice build. Great work. Your shop may be small but it's bigger than mine!
Paul McVicar Thanks Paul
You should build a mid century modern piece. You never see anyone do that anymore. That would be interesting to see.
mascottie I want to
Haha glad you said something about those bees man. I was like wow these videos are really taking a toll on this guy haha. Glad you are doing okay, thanks for a great video.
Great video.. very easy to follow. Great work, keep it up!
Very nice Jon.
Anthony DeRosa Thanks Anthony
Awesome! thanks John!!!
+Eric Floors Thanks Eric!
Hey Jon nice work. Can´t wait to see it painted and all set up. Greetings from Germany :)
Right before I typed "man, what happened to your eye? Looks like you had a run in w/ the bees." You let us know what happened. Lol. Great vid!
trent wainwright ha ha : )
Master Peters!
Amazing job.
Jon, great bookshelf. Have to build bookshelves for my daughter too. Would you happen to have plans for this bookshelf
Thanks Jon. good job.
This is a great idea! I have old furniture. I'm about to get new furniture in few months. I was wondering if I could turn my dresser into a book shelf somehow?
Nice job . your videos are great
Excelente compadre!!!
Amazing, like always Jon, I really enjoy your videos 👌🏼
