I noticed that all of the others were the right way ! Nice simple project by the way. Too often the woodworking projects shown on KZfaq seem to assume that everyone has a table saw, and often a load of other tools.

I appreciate the longer uncut video. Thanks for that option!

Great vids! I also liked how you have a brief example of a cut with each tool to show how to use each tool as well as also helping to see alternative methods. Regardless of the tool, many times we get so used to doing something a certain way or only using a tool to only do one specific task that we forget how much more we can do with them.

Great video Laney. I bet there a bunch of guys just getting tier feet wet in woodworking that will give this a try and be very thankful for it. Keep up the good work !

Very nice video Laney. Like the way you showed various ways and tools to cut the wood down to size.

This short vision ist great. Like it. Good work! Well done. Mike

Very nice selection of tools for the different cuts.

Nice to see some basic wood working Laney..Great video,Project turned out really nice..Love the versatility of it to.. Scott

Cant wait for "WHIRLIGIG WARS" The world better be watching out for me im going to knock all your socks of. Ohh I nearly forgot, great video Laney nice and simple.

Very good video Laney! Instructive and educational. The lenght of it is perfect!!!

Sleepyfox, I agree with ASliceofWoodWorkshop. A drill and jigsaw are a good way to start.. as far as brands. That is really a matter of opinion. I myself Like Porter Cable and Bosch But others may things another brand is better.. so dont focus on brands rather then the tool itself. If you dont mind hand tools get a handsaw. If you want to use power tools. a drill and jigsaw is a great place to start. Then you can look into a circular saw, a router, and slowly work you way into the craft..

Laney, just fantastic! You've got the time and made your "homework" like Steve told you in Keek. I like your videos because of the details and I think you don't have to Make 5 minutes videos, but it's important to be objective! Keep going Man!

Wow, this just gave me a great idea. Tetris Bookshelf!

easy to follow instructions. best instructional video I have seen Thank you. You make me look like a hero building my wife a boom shelf, wine rack for Valentines day.

Good stuff, Laney and I'm impressed that you were able to edit this down to just under 9 minutes! I enjoyed watching it and I don't feel as though there's anything obvious missing. I'll check out your uncut version this evening when I have more time (probably around midday for you! ;-)). All I can say now is that I tend not to talk much about tools or cutting operations unless it's something new to my workshop. I'd just make those initial rough cuts. People can always ask to know more. ;-)

that will be a good project to do with my son for his room..

laney i love your channe, im very crafty & a couple of projects that ive hd to do drew me to woodmaking & i love it.

Great little project. The method of hiding nail holes like that is awesome. Thanks for the tip.

Make This 2 Board Modular Bookshelf . Great project for beginning woodworkers.

Nice project :) but i like more the long version .... i think that everyone enjoys that one better - because you have your videos like that :) I'll post a video response for the whirligig i think that i have a cool desing for entering this contest :)

Yay! A fairly short video!

This is awesome Laney. I'm glad you had a good week off. Lee x

A.S.D. Rundown or ASimpleDesignofOcala either one.. you can also find the link to the uncut video in the description of this video .

good job Laney!

Nice project laneyand great video.

Steve, this is an excellent project for the beginning woodworker, due to its simplicity you are only working with 2 boards (unless you want to make more cubes for a built up design) and its basic rabbet joints. I'm trying to picture the 2-1-2-1 configuration.. I do believe it would be a stable design. if there is any question on stability, you could always use small anchors to secure it to the wall. but I do believe you will be fine.

Great Vid Laney

Great Video! thanks!

great project and great video!

muy lindo, lo voy hacer con 4 cubos y los apilare UNO SOBRE OTRO ; quedan más lindos que una estantería. gracias

I would like to buy more as well. but the store here is always out of stock..

I'm much more inexperienced than even a novice woodworker. How easy would this be for me to tackle? Also, would this unit be stable if you built it up in a 2-1-2-1 type of configuration?

YES!!! TETRIS!!!!

I think is is cool but there are some thiings you would be surprised novice woodworkers would like to know. AKA, when you finished all the boxed and assembled, when you go to add that leveled shelf, how do you keep it in place? How do you make the piece that you clamped down underneath to hold it there? Thanks

No actually I didn't.. I don't free hand often, mostly use my router table and I am used to going Right to left on the table... forgot to reverse my feed free handing... After the first pass, I corrected my direction..

Did you deliberately make a 'climb' cut with the router at about 2:55 ?

Laney, I bought 5 of those HF quick release clamps a while back and can no longer find them. Did they stop making them? I like them a lot and want to buy some more :/

the problem is ive rented most of the equipment i used. do you have any suggestions on whattools i should be purchasing for a really slow beginner &what brands are best? thanks

Dobarprojekat

nice

Thanks for the video, I did get a small detail that I was pondering about the other day. I still haven't begun with Woddy Hyezmar's book yet, I've found videos to be better for me, though he is still giving it away, google him.

If you like woodworking, just look for Stodoys plans.
