A nice bookcase really looks at home and can be a centerpiece of a living space. Not to mention all the storage you get from it, as well as being able to have things on display. They aren't all that hard, I'm going to show you how.

I like honesty / mistakes and to see how they are fixed. Most KZfaqrs hide their mistakes.

@JessedoesDIY 16 күн бұрын

Thanks. Nobody is perfect, so why hide it. I make so many mistakes lol you should watch my concrete vanity top for mistakes. Take care!

Great video, great shelf I use brown paper grocery bags after the first coat of a water based finish. I find it not only knocks the grain down, it also can be easier to get into the corners.

Great video! Beautiful bookshelf. I always appreciate when people show their mistakes and how to correct them instead of editing them out and making the process look perfect. Appreciate the honesty. You know have a new subscriber.

@JessedoesDIY 7 ай бұрын

Thanks very much, I'm glad you like it! I always try to show any mistakes I make and how to fix it or what I went through for it, if it pertains to the project, we're all human! My bathroom vanity and concrete top were case in point for that. I didn't show too much on those because I panicked and had to work quickly to save the project, but I talked about it and showed the issues after the fact. Anyways, welcome to the crew, thanks very much for joining!

@JessedoesDIY 2 жыл бұрын

I do sometimes, but for this I didn't because lumber has been very volatile lately, especially in Canada again. And what I say today in the video for me, could be quite different for you, especially a year or 2 later for people when prices normalize again. For this unit right now, it doesn't look like it but I've got $475 into it, not including paint or stain because I had them already. Maybe I'll start mentioning that going forward, thanks. Hope that helps

That's a beautiful bookshelf mate. Well done! I'd be interested to know how the site is coming and if the plans are up. The Girls and I are in need of bookshelves and I'm feeling like it's time for me to build one. :) Ps, I love you work.

@JessedoesDIY Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it and the things I do! Well, I've got the bookshelf made up in sketchup for plans and just need the site. I've got things picked out for it but haven't had much time to work on it lately. I know what I want it to look like, now I just need to get it done. Trust me, I really want it up lol If you do tackle it without plans and just follow the video, I hope it goes well for you!

Do you think it would be harder or easier to just put a cupboard down below instead of the drawer?

@JessedoesDIY 9 ай бұрын

I guess that depends on if you're comfortable with building a drawer. I have a very in depth video on how to do it if you want to check it out. For me it's a 50/50 split, I just think that down low like that a drawer makes more sense. Up to you!
