Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves kzread.infoUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

Made this last year for my daughter, looks great. I like the look of this one the best. Thanks

Great video, making this today for my son. Thanks!

one suggestion, install the edge banding before you install the shelf. This makes it easier to trim off the excess. In most cases, the edge banding is wider than the plywood, so it is necessary to trim it. Whatever method you use to trim it, it is easier if nothing is in the way.

Love your projects!

The clamp is made by "Kreg" for their pocket hole system

Congratulations, greetings from Colombia

This was a nice looking project. I built a similar shelf out of plans from a WW magazine, it was WAY to heavy, and some of the shelves didn’t line up well with the back wall. Pretty sure I’d followed the plans accordingly, and I am a 35 year veteran to woodworking, so I don’t think the error was me. I’d like to try this one in the future to replace my current wonky shelf.

This video is AWESOME! 🤩 We NEED more videos like this!

This video is awesome to watch, but is not very helpful to repeat for beginners.. First mistake I made was the 1x2x8’ is actually 3/4”x 1.5”x 8’, so the Kreg setting shall not be for 1” thickness. There is no cut measurements of bottom crossings-need to calculate. Also plywood I bought was 2’1/4” and not 2’. No distance between the shelves is advised. Many things to calculate and think about.

Wow super

Can we get more of these? I've never seen the clamp going into the pocket hole to align the pieces before, that's a cool trick.

Very nice. Clear instructions, to the point. One modification might be to put the supports under the shelves.

Robert Bamford I think she put the shelves under the side supports to keep items from falling off. The pocket hole joints are very strong the way she used them. Nice looking shelf unit.

Elegant build😃 So there’s no need to attach it to the wall?

What are the settings on your kreg? My drill bit doesn’t have the stopper like yours so it can go further than necessary. What’s the distance from tip of the bit to the bottom of the stopper? I can tape it then at that length and not ruin it. Thx. This is exactly what I was looking for.

buy a pair of $10 digital calipers on amazon and slide the quill of the calipers into the hole, once it hits the bottom you look at the measurement on screen. I believe it's usually 4 and an 1/8". Which on the screen would be 4.125"

Hi I’m trying to recreate this. At what height do I put each of the cross pieces when I’m making the two sides?

@sergeydolzhin1846

14 inch I guess. 72 inch with 5 shelves

Niceeeee

What are the lengths between the shelves?

Is there a way to do this design without making pocket holes, because for someone who has never held a drill and doesn’t have all those fancy angle tools and all that, it seems quite undoable 😂 can I just make holes from the side with some long screws?

Name and model of pocket hole jig?

How about a list of tools needed as well materials? We gotta just watch and figure it out, when there could just be a list

I would like to try this project but she doesn't give the spacing for the shelves, which seems difficult to figure out for a beginner.

Did you ever figure out a correct spacing?

what is the measurement of the 1x2 mitered bottom cross piece the top is 1x2x2.5 but the bottom on is not stated

@rickjastram

Жыл бұрын

12-1/2"

Unfortunately, the plans they give at the bottom of the video are incorrect. When cutting the shelves, they don't account for the saw blade (usually 1/8"), so you end up with a 5" shelf at the top and not a 5 1/4" shelf. The same is true for the 1x4 supports. If you cut them at 24", you will need an additional 1x4 because the 5th support will be less than 24".

How sturdy is this?

What if you wanted to make this project taller? Like 9' tall? Would that drastically affect anything?

The bottom shelves would be drastically wider front to back, but it can be done.

@joed1901

The bottom would be much wider if you keep the same angle. You can reduce the steepness of the angle of the front leg by a couple of degrees but be aware that doing so will require changing all the angled cuts to the match.

Nice video, but most folks aren't going to want to shell out the coin to buy a Kreg pocket hole jig with clamp ($99) . Could do the same build using screws through the sides and plug the holes or use screws with a more decorative head which could be left exposed.

You do not need to buy a kreg Jig. It's simple to create the same pocket hole without one.

In the thumbnail she didn’t even have a battery in the drill

Woodglut has a lot of designs to choose from.

This is just a Kreg ad. But that's okay because they make some amazing products

She only said pocket hole jig - you can find other brands for as little as $20. I like the kreg jig, but there are many, many other companies that make versions of it.

Why does she have to go so fast? No measurements?

Cant stand how they spend more time on the simple tasks of building it. I dont approve of toh what so ever!

We never really get to see you build anything…. I call BS
