How to build a Bookcase // DIY Cabinet - Plans available

A nice bookcase really looks at home and can be a centerpiece of a living space. Not to mention all the storage you get from it, as well as being able to have things on display. They aren't all that hard, I'm going to show you how.

    Great video, great shelf I use brown paper grocery bags after the first coat of a water based finish. I find it not only knocks the grain down, it also can be easier to get into the corners.

    Thanks very much, I'm glad you like it! I always try to show any mistakes I make and how to fix it or what I went through for it, if it pertains to the project, we're all human! My bathroom vanity and concrete top were case in point for that. I didn't show too much on those because I panicked and had to work quickly to save the project, but I talked about it and showed the issues after the fact. Anyways, welcome to the crew, thanks very much for joining!

    I do sometimes, but for this I didn't because lumber has been very volatile lately, especially in Canada again. And what I say today in the video for me, could be quite different for you, especially a year or 2 later for people when prices normalize again. For this unit right now, it doesn't look like it but I've got $475 into it, not including paint or stain because I had them already. Maybe I'll start mentioning that going forward, thanks. Hope that helps

    I guess that depends on if you're comfortable with building a drawer. I have a very in depth video on how to do it if you want to check it out. For me it's a 50/50 split, I just think that down low like that a drawer makes more sense. Up to you!
