Simple shelf and a simple video. Appreciate the get to it tutorial and no loud branded intro.

Solid wood is better than laminate. Looks great.

Probably a bit heavy, but should look rustic. I noticed you didn't use any glue. I would have glued each joint and glued the dowels in before cutting them off. Good build. Cheers!!

You inspired me to build my own bookshelf from framing lumber. I hope it turns out well. This is great and looks amazing!

Love this, thank you so much for the tutorial! You make me feel like I could actually do this, even with no experience in woodworking 🙏

Thank you so much for this! I was trying to figure out how to build a simple bookcase with screws but didn't want the screws to show. What a great idea with the dowels. Now I'm excited to start my new project this weekend!

Don't worry what someone would say for using cheap lumber. It's nobody's business. Make what you like and enjoy the process

I actually really enjoy using framing lumber for some projects. It makes a statement for sure. In my office/craft room, I have a tabletop made from 2x6s that I stained a vintage blue sitting on a industrial metal base I commissioned from a local welder. The shelves are 2x10s that match sitting on pipe hardware.

That must weigh like 300lbs. Nice build.

After stain or paint you can have a $300 or $400 bookshelf. My issue is have lots of 11-12 inch books(TTRPG) and most of the shelves are just too small or weak. This is perfect for me

[larryswisher]

That is a very unique and well built unit. You can definitely be very proud of the your design and work.

you are absolutely correct. purchase lumber within your budget range. i for one dont mind the light wood, its easy on the pocket book.

I built this kind of bookshelf. I wish i had this video before hand i was just winging it but turned out pretty good

A jointer plainer would have been handy here to clean up edges and make this lighter lol nice work !
