    I feel ya, Jay. I married the daughter of a librarian - I read out of self defense. It looks like she has a little bit of open space for more books there, though...
    I gotta tell ya there are only 2 differences in the way you made this bookcase and the way we did them back at the custom cabinet shop (and charged a pretty penny for.) One was we used biscuits and glue rather than pocket holes for the case work, and the other was that we used a 1/4" thick back rather than the thicker back you went with. That's it.
    That's a seriously nice bookcase that should outlive all of us. Great project!

    @Shopbuilt 7 років тому +9

    I'm actually a big fan of his style of cabinet, the simple moulding selection and white colour gives it a really clean look.

    My entire business is sponsored by YOU. That means YOU visiting my website, watching my videos, and purchasing my plans allows me to create woodworking content for a living. There are many ways to show your support but purchasing a plan is the best way to do so. Thank you.

  • @gm3264
    @gm3264 7 років тому

    Jay, when I watch your videos, I get a major sense of satisfaction. I love your projects, and the reason I said satisfaction earlier, is because you and I work a lot alike. When I watch you do some of the same things I do I in the shop, that makes me feel like I'm doing things right. I'd like to add, I love the way you use pocket holes, and I love your use of materials, especially pine, plywood, and poplar. I use those myself all the time. So, THANKS for the great videos.

    I dabble I'm a little woodwork and I LOVE that table saw with the vaccum. Wish I would have put that one my Christmas wishlist. Your shop is so clean! Love the bookcase and tha ks for the video. We're going to make a bookcase with shelving for all my granddaughters books and puzzles.

  • @HeliEnthusiast
    @HeliEnthusiast 7 років тому +1

    Great setup... Once you eliminate all the frustrations of woodworking (dust/making large cuts, space to work) it's really pretty damn easy to make stuff. Great job on the workshop.

    Big key to take from this video. Using spacers between each shelf ensures all shelves are evenly spaced and level!

    Nice shirt! Was just hanging with Guy this weekend. Great project, very useful as I plan on finishing my attic space and will need some nice shelving for it. Such a different method when you're going to be painting.

    • @JayBates

      Definitely different when paint is involved.

  • @RussHaynesWoodworking
    @RussHaynesWoodworking 7 років тому

    Love the finished product, and I'm a big fan of your videos. I think I've followed you from the start and seen them all. This is the only time I have seen something that I think will probably need addressed over time: You need a center foot or two. Books are heavy. Despite the stiffening you achieve for each shelf by attaching the hardwood strip to the face, the weight of all the shelves and books is on the two outside feet, with 6' of books stacked three shelves high, all on a 3/4" piece of plywood. Over time, your bottom shelf is going to sag, with only the base moulding there to stiffen it. Since the bottom is covered by that base moulding, it would be wise to add a couple more points of contact with the floor underneath to transfer the weight to the floor more evenly, so that the long spans of horizontal plywood are less prone to sag. As I said, great project, great video. Much love.

    • @JayBates
      @JayBates  7 років тому +1

      How will the bottom shelf sag when it is connected along it's full length to the front face frame as well as the plywood back?

  • @bobt2522
    @bobt2522 7 років тому

    That is a nice looking back bookcase.
    when you were installing the shelves, would it have been easier to start at the top and work toward the bottom? That would let the side force from the pocket screw push the shelf against the spacer instead of away from it. You used this concept when you assembled the case itself.

What kind of table are you using that has all of the holes? Also, I have heard mentioned {tortion box (sp?). What is it? I have watched other wood workers videos, but I always come back to yours and that sweet Texan April Wilkerson..lol. Thanks for the great vids.

    Jay- when you screwed the shelves in, did you drill a pilot hole into the vertical pieces, or just go straight into the plywood?
