![The Best Bookshelves for Your Home [How to build your own]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ffWSAGZWMk0/mqdefault.jpg)
Thanks gals, i'm 70 and new to woodworking, this was a great video. I'm glad to see young women putting on their big girl panties, and doing things like this on their own. My guy the love of my live 50+ years, freaks when i suggest a simple project like putting up a shelf. I learned to do these things myself, and i'm glad i did. I probably would use some glue and screws to hold the shelves better, but this can be added if you notice the shelves aren't sturdy. That's how you learn to do this stuff, do it the best you can and learn from your mistakes. Good luck
you are taking up woodworking at 70? That is so awesome!! ....and been with your honey for 50+ years? even better!
okay you ask.
We bought an old 1800's schoolhouse,28'X28" that had been made into a house in the 1940's. This is what they call a box frame house. No stud walls,plank only. My Rib and I lowered the ceiling on the back half of the house,the kitchen,bath,laundry room below with now our bedroom(loft) above.We have put in 2x6 studs in the walls and removed all interior walls,except the bathroom.We have 6" insulation,5/8 ths sheetrock. The windows and doors are to be our last project,but because of the loft,we are putting a exterior pocket door on the back door. The living room is awesome we have left the ceiling open to give a feeling of a larger area. Thank goodness the wiring and plumbing are fairly simple but heavy duty.The outside is as it was when we bought it and you are just shocked when you come inside. The house is really a simple plan and the 28x28 ft makes for easy working.when finished the loft will add roughly 390 ' to the 748 sq.ft. house. We bought the house on 1/4 acre,with a metal shop,water well,pecan,fruit trees and planted some of our own,for $8,000.00. We are doing the work ourselves and hope to be out of the travel trailer and in the house by the end of this year.
A real learning experience for sure;).
Thanks for asking:).
I was just broqsing for basic shelves ideas. Saw the guitar and bass sections with overhead lights. now I'm doing this too! Thanks for the inspiration.
Great job ladies! Love the fact that your using "reclaimed wood" excellent!
Thank you so much for watching and for the great feedback!
Great idea--would love to see a close up of the finished piece at the end. I can't really tell what you did with the reclaimed wood. Thanks for sharing!
This is so awesome!!! I just found your channel, I’ve never held a power tool but now I’m so curious. My husband and I are on the hunt for our first house and I’m going to have to invest in some tools to start my own DIY projects. So inspirational!!!! 2:23
Sanding in the house after assembly? Bad idea.
How would you else get the shelving inside? O.o
I was commenting that I would never sand in the house due to the dust. There is no reason you could not sand the boards outside. Saws and sanders should stay outside to reduce mess.
Yea okay they ofcourse could have sanded everything before assembling...
Nanna Trytek
You would else sand it outside so the whole gorram house doesn't dust over in the process.
That's what I was wondering why they didn't do it outside or before assembly 🤔
The saw is way too heavy for kickback? Have you any idea what kickback is? When she's talking about nailgun accidents she's crouched facing the girl using the nailgun 2 feet away with no eye protection.
This is a MUST for beginners to see how not to do it.
+Graham Orm I think she's saying the wood is too heavy for kickback.
+DJ Malleck You're right, she touches the ply while she's talking.
Graham Orm lmao!!!! Right!
Just a couple of liberals fixing the world
nice work and as long as you had fun doing it thats what counts
What a great video! Comical, Inspiring, and educational. I'm struggling to get my closet organizer together or should I say to stay in tact lol. But these videos help so I shall keep tucking my thumb and trying again. Thanks guys!
Thanks for the video!! I would love to know what the measurements are of the unit and where you stapled as opposed to using screws. I'm thinking about trying this but have never done anything like this before! Do you have pictures of the finished shelving unit posted anywhere??
every girl should have to help dad build something to get familiar with power tools, hand tools, etc. I'm glad my wifes dad did that with her. Really helps when have a project like this to do
I love how hard working Anna is! ^___^
Love love love shelves!
Awesome job! That looks sweet!
Cali always has to be the star of the show! I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile in my home but I wasn’t quite sure how. Definitely going to try and do this now! 5:45
Sawing outside sure saves on clean-up!
Well, sometimes I had to do things by myself... Congratulations to you all!!!
Wow that looks great. Gives me ideas for my study room. Did u seal the wood with varnish or summat ?
Very cool ! I am going to be making one or more with live edges/ends so will need to plan a angled cut to hide it but this should still work . If someone wants to hold more weight they can use cobra toggle anchors, I use them at work to hold 72 inch TVs in 5/8 drywall 1:56
Not sure why there are so many bad comments on this I quite enjoyed it. Well done.
Basically, it is a show of the ladies. Not about the woodworking. No techniques had been demonstrated there. Disappointed.
You skipped right over the part of how you attached the small and large plywood shelves and spacers, right after talking about how challenging it is.... From the step in 2:53 you jump ahead to the step in 3:01 without showing how you got there.
Sorry about all the negative comments. Would I have done things different? Yes. Did it come out looking nice? Yes. Are you happy with the work you did yourself? Yes. Did you get expensive particle board furnature (Ikea)? No. I for one am no where near the craftsman of others on UA-cam but I love to show that you don't have to be a pro to turn out nice stuff. I also like watching UA-cam videos that have some entertainment as well. I say keep creating videos and projects however you want. That's what I'm going to do.
How did you fasten the shelving unit to the wall? Metal brackets? Cool build.
love it! Buying materials and renting tools very soon!
Thanks!
This video teaches nothing.. Waste of time.
Great video girls. Love all the power tools. I think the sander might need a new base pad.
Hey, I'm so sorry for all the negative feedback, like 3 Dog Night so profoundly sang, " how can people be so heartless, how can people be so cruel, easy..." Anyway, I'm 61 so I have alot of those oldies playing through my head! Lol! Looking forward to the next video!🇺🇲🙏❤👍
I am only 2 years into DIY projects but damn this video shows me how far I have come haha
How did it cost $700? Did you pay for the plans? Or did you count the tools?
Isabelleflx I am assuming... that buying wood and having it delivered to Brooklyn was more expensive than the rest of the country.
This is a $400 project here in the Central Kentucky area
love how you just cut it all in the parking lot!
awesome ladies
How would you pain a built shelf once it's on the wall ....any advice please!!!!!
I want to build a shelving/storage unit along a long wall; floor to ceiling with a fold up bed. What would be the best design software (Mac) and is there one for free?
Ladies, it would be good for you ALL to wear some safety glasses while using the power tools, especially the nail gun.
what about the back, how its stand still? and doesnt moves to left or right the whole furniture?
This is awesome, I have been wanting a floor to ceiling bookshelf in my game/reading room and now I know how to build it! Lovin the girl power on this channel :)
Nice looking shelves! For anyone that's going to build with wood, I highly recommend eye protection and at the least a particle mask when sanding, I have to use a resperator, the dust really messes with my sinuses and lungs, but I also have cancer. Again, great job ladies!!! BE SAFE GOD BLESS!🇺🇲🙏❤
I once built a dog house out of Aspen Board and never bothered to give it a coat of paint. Five years later I passed the dog house on to another dog lover as I no longer had a dog. I don't know how long it lasted after that point or if they painted it, but Aspen Board is pretty durable. 1:13
Nice job ladies! Looks great. I've seen some of the harsh comments but I like that you had fun with this project. Keep posting! I may build something like this in my daughters playroom.
Hello, nice job! By the way, how high is your garage? Mine is only 8.5 feet high, and I am not sure whether I have enough height for a job like this. 4:52
great job .....bless all of you pretty ladies.
Hiii...
plz upload this video in description....
what do you do if you dont have anywhere to put it for composting?
a master job,,,,I am shur this woodworking is profaschnol?how lang time take to learn such a woodwork?
Amazing !! Redecorating my Guest room & this would be perfect !!! 3:12
felicitaciones a las tres por su capacidad y empeño jorge de argentina
sooooo... how did they nail/screw the inside pieces of wood where shelf meets shelf?...
what kind of board did they use ??
This video is just awesome 💯
Why did you skip through all the finishing parts? How did you install the lights? What did you do with the reclaimed wood? What is the purpose of this video if you don't show that part?
Sanding the wood outside before assembly would be better for your health and air quality in the home. Also the a cabinet grade plywood without the huge knots would class it up a bit. The more expensive ply would add about $10-15 per sheet.
you guys are awesome!! totally loved this and I subscribed!
you girls are very talented
How many times have you tried to put together a bookshelf and ended up with it being a bit crooked? We really like seeing these gals tackle daunting tasks.
Thats an great video
Desk and Bench
Library cupboard
Forgot to mention what type of nailer and it’s not a chop saw it’s sliding mitre saw but otherwise it came out very nice !
I couldn't really see the reclaimed wood on it at the end, was it on there? Am I blind? Also, are you going to / have you stained it or anything like that?
Thanks so much!
so a pile of sawdust in your garden or yard/backyard is better?
So everything was built with half inch plywood? Oh, and how wide were the shelves? 11" or 12"?
simple but amazing
Great job! Thanks for sharing 4:44
That Allison is good man.
"If not 16" to center than 21" for the studs"....mmmm, if you are looking at 21" for a stud you may be there for a while. Better try 24"
Great!!!😍😍😍👐👐 glad you exist! I will get reference from you to build shelves in my small art studio😀😍😘😘
Absolutely! It's more fun, too. :D
Did you guys take any scissor breaks?
Glad to see you rolling up your sleeves and making this Great Wall unit. Please always wear eye protection and at least a dust mask. Safety first!
Appreciate the genuine smooth comedy.
Nice one..love it. Do you guys have plan for modern entertainment center, i would like to build one for my wife. Can you help me for the plan? Thank you
Favorite part is where they talk about getting hit in the eye with the nail gun and the one girl has her safety glasses on her head instead of her eyes.
Why not sand it out side, then fit it to the wall
Well I didn't learn anything but it looks amazing!
An awesome job, I love it too 5:17
Olá meninas me chamo Alexandra moro no Brasil, sou de Manaus Am, me apaixonei pelo trabalho de vcs é admirável. Parabéns!!!
Thanks!
good work
nice one right there
nice job
you said $700 later? $700 for wat? materials?
if so, im thinking ikea would have been cheaper lol
like the idea of design
how/when did you fasten it to the wall?

is this free standing?
4:30 I HATE the velcro sanders. They are so annoying because they don't last and hold the sand paper. I swap out the velcro bottom with a smooth rubber bottom and use stick-on sand paper. The round stick-on sandpaper can be purchased at specialized woodworking stores.
Me too!!
Our most challenging diy was perhaps our first only because we had no idea what the hell we were doing. Although, my partner is in the building industry so he was pro with the maths so one of us had some idea what needed to be done. We made a simple, slightly padded bed head which we tried to match to our existing side draws. We found it difficult too because we hardly had any power tools but the place we got our timber from cut to our dimensions for free which I recommend everyone do if they can. We just used hammer and nail. The nail guns scare me lol
you girls made my day, awesome job, cool vid. I want to come to no mans land :)
Cool video! The only thing I would have done differently is sanding outdoors! Dust gets everywhere!!!!
great build, but I can't help but think there is a ton of wasted space between those bins. I'm definitely using a few tricks from this build on some overhead storage I'm working on in my own garage! Thanks for sharing! 1:46
I want my 5:36 mins back!!
Hey Cous you rock!
Hans
you girls rock!
good works
youtubers will fight over any post
Too many haters posting negative comments in opposed to offering constructive criticism. If you are that displeased with the video, STOP watching and get on with the rest of your life.
dam they even have the dws780 :O
Why the fuck would you sand that after it's been installed???????
Because there's no man in this land.
