I've always built my own shelves for my blu-ray collection (I have over 2000 titles) and I never like flat-packed store bought shelves as they never seem to full use the space the shelf is going to be standing in. Recently I've been looking at some inspiration for a new shelf as I've moved houses, this this was a helpful video 😊

Perfect timing for this video. Looks like a good winter project. I'll tackle this along one side of our garage to start and then probably along the garage door side afterward. Will probably swap in some 2x4s, but I definitely like the simplicity of the design (it works really nicely for 10' ceilings). Might throw on some stain (or just paint) to dress it up a notch! 5:12

Really nice use of space. It's great to see someone take the time to do a quality job!

Just beautiful!!!

Nicely done!!!! Looks Great!!!

This looks like an awesome project, especially since I can adapt it to build shelving for CDs, and vinyl records. Thanks for the video, hints, tips and inspiration! I also now know where to buy my timber from, given I've had no or little success with other similar DIY stores.

Great. No faffing about with fancy joints and it looks great.

This will really help me were I have way more DVD's than that it should still apply in some manner mine will have to be taller and longer but it should still work out thank you for posting this video

great job, and great dvd collection

I've watched this video a few times and I'm finally ready to try something similar to this. I'm going to attempt a cubby for my kids' toys using the same methods here. Eventually I'm going to do a larger DVD/ game shelf based off your design, too. I also want to say that as an American, trying to understand the difference in some terminology has been interesting. As well as seeing brands we don't have here.

Hi enjoyed your video, not seen your site before, but I am glad that this one came around just at the right time. I was wondering how to build a place for my CD's and the odd DVD. Looks like I will give your build a try. Thanks.

My DVD shelves are going to look very similar to that. It's funny that you mentioned pocket screws because my dad offered to loan me his jig. I think what I'm going to do instead of pocket screws or brackets is some shallow dadoes with a 1/4 inch plywood panel screwed on the back. This would let me disassemble it later as well as prevent the DVDs from contacting the wall. Great use of that landing! Makes me wonder what that nearly useless landing is there for anyhow. I lived in my grandfather's house for a while after he passed and sometimes I would see something and have to scratch my head. Then I'd call my dad, the historical architect, and his only insight would be, "That's the way your grandpa would do things." Big help, Dad.

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK

4 жыл бұрын

Ooh, love the idea of dadoes too :) Although I think I want to buy a router table soon to try them. And yes, I'm curious what this landing was built for. It's rather odd as it leads nowhere and not enough room to walk down if there's thing on it.

Great job; great video. I need to build one of these and this is EXACTLY the way I want it, just different dimensions. About 6ft. (180cm)wide x 5ft. (152cm)high. I'll probably add a rear panel for function and stability. Thank You for the abundance of information. I'm now subscribed to your channel. 👍👏📐

Great timing. I was on the verge of pulling the trigger on some Wickes timberboard (for the purposes of a DIY pencil / art supplies drawer unit), and wasn't certain if the quality of the timber was up to par. Looks great, and I've picked up some much needed woodworking reminders in this video. Cheers!

She can pull-off projects like that, easily, I wish more men would be like that also, unfortunately some men I know are not very handy and that bothers me, as it is indispensable being handy and knowing how to operate tools to make things, especially when you own a home and have a family. I did something similar recently by repurposing some older white shelf cabinets. If I have time I will post a video of my unit on my YT channel, mine looks pretty custom made as one single 15Ft wide 8" deep, 24" tall cabinet with a 15Ft wide 12" deep 2" thick Pergo Laminated floor mantle made from a 2"thick high density foam base.
