Hello friends today we're going to build. This bookshelf and
then subsequently. Take it apart here we go. So the shelf is going to be for
my. Sister-in-law kathleen i had to build it. Here for her it's all belated
birthday. Gift she's going to use it to store. Patterns but she has to take it
back. Home in a car so it is six feet tall. Three feet wide and 10 inches deep
it. Supports six different shelves the. Bottom one is about fourteen and a
half. Inches tall instead of ten just had the. Extra space put some simple trim
around. All four pieces capped it off it's held. Together just with screws that
have been. Countersunk we'll talk about that a. Little bit later but it's it's
a nice. Thing you could use this basic principle. With nice wood instead of
plywood you. Know what to build yourself a nice. Bookshelf or anything else so
here's how. I did it. Well i was able to get everything out of. Two sheets of
plywood if it were just a. Little bit smaller i could have gotten. It out of
one but that's neither here. Nor there i don't often work with. Plywood this
was new for me but given. What this shelf is going to be used for. It seemed to
be the perfect material as. Projects so often start with me this. Shelf started
off with a little bit of a. Sketch and a couple rough measurements. On a piece of
paper once i got this. Plywood down the hardest part is moving. It around
within the confines of my shop. So i got out my handheld circular saw. Which i
rarely get to use it's kind of a. Nice treat anyways i just scored out a.
Couple lines and this cuts relatively. Straight and later on i'm going to even.
These out on the table saw. So here i am making those lines nice and. Straight
the table saw cleaning things. Up so to speak i wanted to get all the. Cuts for
the two side walls all the. Vertical trim the horizontal trim and. Then the six
shelves plus the top taken. Care of and once those were all cut i. Was able to
switch off the blade i. Thought it was easiest to put in a dado. Stack because
i'm going to make some. Grooves for these shelves to sit in i. Figured that was
the easiest thing to do. And dado is are a great way to get that. Perfect fit
for the shelves anybody. Watching in a country that doesn't allow. Dado stacks
being sold i'm sorry they. Are so nice to use one of the side. Effects of
course i've taken off that. Much wood though is all the sawdust that. It
produces and i don't have dust. Collection in my shop so my desk. Collection is
myself with a broom but. That's okay it's kind of fun i feel like. Carol
burnett. With the pieces cut and the floor clean. It was time to assemble. I
took the shelves one by one and i kind. Of mounted them into place they were
off. Snug fit which is exactly what i wanted. Eventually i would label these so
each. Shelf you know a on the left. Corresponding to a on the sidewall so. That
it can be assembled well later and. As i'm putting this together it's.
Important to note that the shelves are. Flush with the front that's just the
way. That i designed it as my sister-in-law. Finished this it finishes this a
little. Bit later i know she has the option of. Putting edge banding on there
if she. Wants to clean up the front of the. Plywood but i know she's going to
paint. It so that may not be necessary. Well there's quite a lot that i like.
About this shelf it was interesting to. Work with plywood something that i.
Normally don't do i don't have i mean i. Have a good space in my basement but
it. Feels so clunky that i just tended not. To use it um one of the features
of. Building a shelf out of plywood are one. Of the struggles that i had was
that the. Wood tended to bow so originally i. Thought this was going to wear
together. Much more straight and i could use. Doubles to pin it in but i
realized i. Had to use some metal fasteners and said. To actually pull the wood
together yeah. Anyways it turned out just fine my. Sister-in-law kathleen is
going to take. This and she's going to paint it give it. A couple coats of
white which is why i'm. Not finishing it or doing anything. Except you know
using over the edges. Here i'm going to disassemble this next. Which is really
really weird to assemble. Something and then right away take it. Apart but
she's going to be traveling. From oshkosh to the ann arbor area in. Michigan
and we have to fit this inside. Of a car so we gotta do what we got to. Do she
will reassemble it when she gets. Home put her back on it and then paint i.
Think she's going to when she puts the. Screws in i had them nicely
countersunk. So she can take wood putty putty over it. Wait a days--and that
smooth and then. When she paints it she'll. You'll never be able to tell same
with. Some of the cracks like on this second. Shelf down you might see there's
two. Long deep cracks just flaws in the wood. I told her to putty it in sanded
smooth. And it should be fine she's going to be. Using these for storing
patterns for. Sewing and in time the bowing that. You're seeing they need to
the shelves i. Put the bow going up like this so that. As pressure is put on
it. Then i'll level out the glories of. Working with arches anyways i think it.
Looks good and now it's time to take it. Apart. Tada there's everything
disassembled and. Ready to go into a car all together it's. One two three four
or five six seven. Eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen. Lucky thirteen pieces
so have you ever. Built anything like this for a friend. That you had to
assemble and then. Disassemble your thoughts on this. Project be sure to like

have you on. Board and in probably a couple weeks i. Will follow up with a vlog
