You made that so easy for this beginner. Thank you.

[jaebugscreations]

Thank you for doing a tutorial without a Kreg jig. Great tutorial!

[garybrown]

Great exactly what i was thinking about building

What are your recommendations for a stain finish instead?

[matthewpille]

Another option is priming the project and filling the nail holes with spackle after. DryDex is what I normally use for projects I paint. Also, using glue when screwing the shelves to the back panel would give it much more strength. I'd also predrill the holes when attaching the shelves to the back panel with a countersink bit to avoid splitting and it also makes the back more flush.

Good video though! Nice way for new people to get started!

love this, embarking on my first real wood working project and using your video as a guide! Two questions, did you add wood filler where the vertical face boards meet the shelf face boards (to give it a singular piece look) and when adding the bead of caulk, do you use any special type of caulk for wood? Thanks!!

Any worry about movement on the top piece you added?

Does this work for large textbooks? I run ttrpg's and those books can get massive

What's the difference between a miter saw and a table saw? Can't you do all the cuts on the table saw?

[mimsbaby]

Hi, so do the screws for extra support go through the shelves or are under them?

[stephaniesanchez]

All I have are hand saw 🪚 hammer drill nails 🤷🏻‍♀️

[wetdogroger]

Great presentation but please get rid of the annoying music

[haystack]

Worried about not having a pocket hole uses massive shop with expensive tools and large modified work benches😂 . The one tool beginners should get. Just giving you a hard time

[keithwilliamson]

That's going to sag like crazy, too long of a span without proper support.

[Johnnyag]

The build was nice to watch but the music was HORRIBLE!!!

[pixelskiesproductions]

Why use plywood? It's cheap. Although thank you so much for taking the bookshelves step by step. There isn't a drill on the list.
