Basic Bookcase Build

This is the first step in building a full wall bookcase. In this video I show how I make the rough shelves. The next part will show the trim build and install.

For your main horizontal shelves... If you pre-drill the screw holes through the center of your dados (from the inside out) then you don't have to draw any of those pencil lines, and everything will be perfectly centered. Saves time in all that extra layout, plus no chance for error. I enjoyed your video.

I really enjoyed watching this build! So simple and straightforward. Feeling empowered to go build my own.

This was a really amazing and easy to follow tutorial for a bookshelf. Very simple yet pretty. Really surprised on how much I liked it. I had been watching many bookshelf tutorials but didn't like any as much as this one. Thanks for the video 👍👍👍👍keep up the great work 👌👌👌

Nice job Seth! That is going to look great when you get it all done. Looking forward to the trim work and rolling ladder as well. - Danny

The part with adding the brackets is something I didn't think of. Thanks for the video.

The bookshelves will be very nice! Great work!

[alisoneyers]

What a great video. Clear explanations, plus, no damned table saw! Sick of watching videos on how to to find you require a full workshop to do the build. Definitely following and subscribing to you. Great job. Regards, Alison UK. X

I took this concept and ran with it. Great basis for more complex projects. I combined three of these to make a 10x9 foot wall of bookshelf (middle shelf is 50" wide and needs extra supports).

oh wow! Thank you so much! I loved the techniques you showed! 3:42

I'm going to do this ! The only difference is is I will use 45 degree bracing from the back wall to the bottom of the shelf. My ceiling is very high. 5:44

Seth, Thank You !! Wife and I are working on a 8 x 13 book shelve with rolling ladder and you are speaking at our level. We are novices and need plenty of help/ We hope to move slowly and finish hopefully by 3/1/22. Your three videos will be crucial for us as we proceed. Stand by for plenty of questions; Again, Thank you !!

I actually just finished making one myself which was inspired by this video. Thank you for making this step by step video 👍🏽👍🏽. I tagged you on Instagram of the finished product 1:38
