How to make a small bookcase. This one is made from Cherry. It is the ideal project for beginning woodworkers, and even experiences woodworkers will enjoy the clean lines and joinery.
I designed it with the golden ratio in mind. that is 1.618 times taller than it is wide, for the most aesthetically pleasing look.
It features dado and rabbet joinery.

Thanks for the "pointy stick" glue removal trick. So simple, yet I never thought of it myself.
A beautiful little shelf. I recently started building from wood again, and I've been learning alot from your videos. I like the pointed stick idea for cleaning up the glue squeeze out. Keep the videos coming. I need the motivation and inspiration.
thank you for not making it completely out of plywood and calling it a "solid" so on. lol. beautiful work. i normally do metal work but my wife wants a book self so i guess im getting into wood work now and your video was very helpful.
Great work, clean and simple but created to last centuries.. Love you work King!
I think this is my favorite of your projects yet - you made it look so easy!
JMakes, thanks!
man that wood grain for the back is awesome... such a good contrast even if it's not covered with books. keep up the good work!
Amazing! I love the simple yet not purely square design and the fact that it did not use nails or screws in visible areas. I learned a lot!
Very beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing. Love your videos👊🏼
A lot of respect to how thorough and meticulous you are.
Hey James! I think the side to side grain in this project looks great! I think even better than if the grain ran top to bottom. Awsome work!!
love that lacquer finish on the cherry
Recently happened upon your channel with your workbench project and have been watching your videos. Like your style and the projects you create. Have a cherry tree cut from my folks home 20 years ago that would make a great bookcase. Thanks for the inspiration for a small project. Subscribed. Also, great to see your daughter learning from you!
Hi Ellen. Thank you very much.
I think that cherry tree would make a wonderful bookcase that will become a keepsake item for your family.
That was a cute table top book case. Very Nice job. When I'm up to working again. I going to buy all these great plans. Again thank you.
Sooo beautiful. Great work. Videos like these are inspiring for a amateur like me.
Lovely workmanship!
Really liked this video, taught about simple case joinery...very well made
Beautiful work. Great video work and excellent presentation. Two thumbs up!
Аккуратная работа,молодец мастер!👍. Всегда и с удовольствием смотрю Ваши работы. Здоровья Вам и побольше интересных заказов.
Great video! Great work! Add this project to my upcoming retirement "to do" list! Thank you!
Hi James and family. I really like the horizontal grain on the back panel.
love it works great. just the right size
Love that finish
Beautiful craftsmanship. You sound like a nice guy too.
Very very nice ..from Greece
Some people like to hide the dados but I think they're a really nice detail and anyone interest in quality would enjoy seeing them.
Very nice. I like the pointed wood with rag to remove access glue great tip
Beautiful, James. Amazing looking shelf! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I enjoyed this simple build.
Thank you for the details on the finish. I have a project that will look good with a lacquer finish.
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Just my opinion, the horizontal grain looks good. Thanks for another good video.
Not bad at all Sir - the bookcase and the workshop!
You make it so easily!!
Beautiful you make it look fun
Wow that's awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!
Great project! Like you shop also.
Thanks Andy!
Gorgeous little shelf James. Quick and simple little project. Great job!!
Thanks a bunch!
Great video! love the quality!
Thank you!
Just gorgeous!! You guys will always be my wood hero's!;)
That is very kind. Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you so much! The best
Great project. I've been surprised how few bookcase project videos there seem to be out there. I need to make a similar style in a bit larger size sometime this fall.
Thank you. I also noticed there aren't many. They are fun to build. Have fun with yours.
Very nice, and good job !! ...
Great job!! I'm definitely subscribing.
Thank you!
Awesome 👍
superbe boulot bravo
Thank you!
This fella is a genius!!
Haha. Thank you!
That is beautiful
Good work
New to your channel. I just wanted to drop a line or two to say how much I have enjoyed your videos I love the format. And to be fair to your daughter, they seem to be very good in her own right, nice work. As for your other daughter who pops up on video, it's like a game of where's wally, lol..
Please keep up the great videos, thank you..
Mac#..
Man the results were beautiful. Great work man. From the process to the finish I paid attention to every detail and was like "I need to get a wood shop" lol. But man this is a thing of beauty! I looked up wood working videos specifically ones with book shelf's because I want to make one and put it in my room. I'm going to subscribe and see more of your work. God bless you and thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you! That’s very kind!!
@@KingsFineWoodworking No problem man. It's nothing like looking back on what you made and enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Nice Work
Super! Very nice!!
Thank you!
beautiful
MrZombiehunter27, thank you!
great video you gain a new subscriber. and thanks for take you own time to make this video.
Thank you very much!
Very nice!
Thank you!
Absolute perfection, you are so skilled.. I am learning so much from you. my problem is that the space in my garage just isn't big enough:(
Hi Steve. Thank you! That is so kind.
Doesn't matter how big your shop is, you always need more space.
Hi James
How are you?
Your projects are incredibles as always.
Congratulations.
Hi Allan, I'm doing fine, how are you?
Thank you very much.
I like the horizontal grain on the back front facing. It’s unexpected and since surprise. :) messy shop!? Too critical. My shop is messy. And I just bought 12 more clampssith no where to hang them.
That is a sexy bookcase.
I usually find that 11 to 12 inches is a good distance between shelves, it allows you to comfortably place hard back books with a clean space above to tilt them forward and out. I've been making bookshelves of necessity for years to contain my ever growing collection and always start by measuring my tallest book that way if it eventually ends up on that shelf it'll fit comfortably. I hope this helps someone
4:26 - Who knew Mjölnir was so useful?
I did.
This looks like a good first project for me. How wide do you think this design could go and maintain integrity and not have sagging shelves?
Enjoyed the details of this video from start to finish . I too use Deft finishes any where possible. My only question is why you left the shelf & top dados exposed by not stopping them short or putting a face frame on to cover them ?
Hello Mr King.
I was wondering if you recommended using your tablesaw for making your dados like in this video or do get cleaner results with a router? I have only done it with my router and it not only takes time to set up as you know, but also makes a huge mess. I appreciate your time and anticipate your reply. Please keep making your informative and entertaining videos.
Good day.
That's really nice my daughter wants me to make her one of those would you say I would need a half sheet of that cherry wood or a full sheet
Messy workshop? You should see mine!
Love your work..Do you have any plans for entertainment centers??
Another great project.
I only counted 2 photo bombs this time.
It was in her early days of photo bombing. Haha.
I'm new in woodworking, but have decided to go the hand tool route, it may be slower but it's quieter and more chilled as well. I already made my first magazine rack (a Mark Spagnolo inspired one) but i want to make a bookcase next, So I can make this with just hand tools? what are the dimensions etc? Nice job by the way.
You can certainly do it with hand tools
Well I’m a year late... lol. Great build!!
What is the brush you use to spread the glue? It also has a chisel tip for glue clean up, yes? Also, great work man. I've been binge watching all of your videos. Subscribed. Keep on building.
Hi Josh, here is a link to the glue brush I use: amzn.to/2vzubmP
It does have a chisel tip that works good for cleanup. But I like the fact that it's all silicon. When the glue dries on it, you just pop it off, and the bristles are clean and new again.
Hey, thanks for watching & subscribing!
~James
Thank you kind sir =)
Nice video. Anyone ever tell your that you sound like Rick Steeves?
+1 shop projects to do. Are there plans for this with a cut/materials list, miter angles, etc?
There are. I will get them online.
What grit sand paper you use in sanding in the middle of the video?
Do you have any push sticks laying around?
Is that mallet's head made from lignum vitae?
does not solid boards bending when humidity changes? I built drawers with front from solid wood and now all are curved, wood was 12% dry...
yes, but the expansion is negligible along the length. So this will be unaffected
solid cherry or ply back, which
Thanks for this informative video. Would this joinery and method of building work with a larger shelving unit, like 36-42" wide and 60-72" tall? Assuming a middle vertical piece would need to be added to avoid sag, so in that case I'd plan on a center piece that's dadoed on both sides? Would a double sided dado center piece have any strength left if I did it that way? That's a fair reduction in thickness.
It positively would.
I’ve done very large shelving & entertainment center units that way.
@@KingsFineWoodworking Thanks for your speedy reply. That's some responsive support. Are your dadoes 1/4" deep to receive shelving? And if so, on my vertical center piece (on a wider bookshelf) I have dadoes on both sides, meaning I'm removing 1/2" of a 3/4" thick material. Is that remaining 1/4" enough as a center support? Thanks, KFW!
@@rachelsmith3398
In your case, for the dadoes that get cut into boards that go horizontally, I’d make those 1/8” deep. It doesn’t take much to lock in the strength.
And the remaining wood will still be plenty strong enough.
In the vertical pieces of your unit, you can go 1/4” deep (that what I do).
@@KingsFineWoodworking Awesome. That's what I was thinking too. Cheers!
What dado set are you using?
May I ask what is the name of the large red ruler used at 2:21 ? I'm trying to find one with the edge on to butt up against the wood.
Those are from woodpecker. They are spending but quality
How do you dry the Cherries to stay together like that?
Do you work from a seated position?
Are there plans for this shelf for purchase?
I am a beginner woodworker, So if I may ask; Can we use both pocket holes system with dados for shelves installation together? And if it work how can we do them? Thank you 🙏
I'm also a beginner but I feel like they should be redundant.
Where are you getting Deft products at? It is hard to come by here
He possesses the power of Thor at 4:23 Mjölnir makes an appearance! #RealThor
Haha, yes!
question for you...... if youre piece of wood can fit on a jointer on all surfaces why do you only joint one side then plane the rest ...im not critiquing im genuinely curious
Good question. You joint the first face to get it flat. You take it to the planer to make the second face parallel to the one you just jointed.
Sometimes boards are thicker on one side than the other. So if you just jointed both sides, then both would be flat but still one side would be thicker than the other.
ahhhhhh i see thanks for the timely respone
Thor called. He wants his hammer back.
It's apparently an old woodworker's trick to rub sawdust into the glue
squeeze-out. Wandel appaz swears by it, and I figured if you don't know
about it, now you do, lol.
I have been using it for certain projects for a long time.
Great bookcase. The only issue I see is when you moved your hand between the rip fence and the blade. Scary
Thank you! Thanks for the safety tip
I see that you didn't use nails or screws except for the back panel any reason for that???
"for beginner woodworkers" he said while using thousands of dollars worth of machines -_-
The rulers in the beginning were thousands of dollars lol. Good video though
Could I take all the principles you’ve got here and make a 5 foot tall shelf that is 3 feet wide and a foot deep?
Blog of The W3st, yes absolutely!
Kings Fine Woodworking Cool! Thank you :)
Kings Fine Woodworking Would you recommend changing anything up? Such as beefing up the bottom somehow? Anything decorative? Anything decorative or something that might provide more stability for the top, the front, or the bottom considering that I’d be taking what you did in this video (the incredible job you did ^_^) and scaling it up?
I think it would hold up no problem unless you tried to put a set of encyclopedias of the shelves. Those are very heavy. If you planned on something like that you might double up the shelf thickness.
But otherwise it would work great scaled up as is.
As far as decorative, you can get as fancy as you like. You might do a google search and find bookcase ideas you like that you can incorporate.
Although, maybe don’t deviate too far away from the basic shape unless you have a little more woodworking experience.
Good luck. :-)
Kings Fine Woodworking I’m definitely planning on 2x12 wood 👍
I want to build my fiance something similar but we have none of these expensive tools to do so
what jointer do you use?
Grizzly 8"
is it a benchtop model?
Hi mine is not benchtop. It is stationary. It is like this one.
amzn.to/2pQ3oTO
But if you are looking for benchtop of the same quality & kind, I can send you a link to look at the benchtop version that I use.
Hi, this is the benchtop model I use in my smaller shop. It it is very good. And it also has a helical cutter head.
amzn.to/2rjINr7
thank you. i have a small space for my woodworking, so thats all i can get. but some people say its just not worth getting.
I'm late to the party, but I would never pull the board back through the dado blades after cutting. It only takes a slight tug for the board to clip the blades, and then you have a dangerous situation. I just don't think that process is safe at all.
I think I watch these just for the photo bombing :)
