These mid-century modern bookshelves turned out absolutely incredible! This video shows you exactly how to build your own contemporary bookshelf unit. I show step by step on to create mid-century modern bookshelf brackets out of walnut. This is the type of woodworking project that I love. This wooden bookshelf system can be customized to various configurations to fit perfectly in any space. I also show just how strong these bookshelf brackets are by conducting a stress test of the woodworking joinery. The results were pretty unbelievable. Additionally, I give a great tip on an easy way to hang wooden shelves on the wall.
I knew that I wanted bookshelves for my home office. I also wanted to challenge my design abilities and make something that I don’t commonly build. As I started designing my bookshelf, it sort of turned into something with a contemporary look. It wasn’t my intention to make bookshelves with a mid century modern flare, but you have to let the design lead you. I’m so glad that I did because I love the look! This gives my home office a minimalist feel and helps with my office organization.
If you’re interested in how to make a wooden bookshelf then check out this video.

They're beautiful, and I like the template for the keyholes. For smaller things with 2 mounting holes, I take a photocopy of the back and use that to get the placement.
@NewtonMakes
@NewtonMakes 3 года назад
That's a great tip. If I had already made something and needed a copy they that's a smart move. I try to remember to make a template while I already have my tool set up.

I think so too! I liked the style in general but then after it was rounded over it went to a whole new level.

That country blues was off the chain, but the strength of your shelves proves you are a REAL craftsman. By the way, I love how you stain things - using saturated browns and showing off the grain of woods you choose.

Those are really sharp looking. Now you got me thinking how they would work for corner shelves. 3 brackets total. One near each end and one in the corner to support where the shelves are mitered together. Thank you for sharing.

Bro that's freaking awesome right there, super stronger than you think, it always amazes me how much stronger your work is then you think, great video and really like the design 👍 👏
@NewtonMakes
@NewtonMakes 3 года назад
I think we as makers generally over build stuff. Nothing wrong with that. I knew they'd be strong enough, but I was looking at that prototype and started wondering about how strong it really is. Might as well waste an evening figuring it out! 😂

Amazing looking shelf. Could also do through holes between the brackets for the wall mounts, if you didn’t want the key holes. But looked plenty strong during your test with key holes.

Hey Newton, great build, really nice design. Walnut was a great choice. Amazing how much weight those joints took. Thanks for sharing
@NewtonMakes
@NewtonMakes 3 года назад
That was fun. Obviously not scientific, but it was scientifically awesome!
@Azurko

Very nice! I might borrow the idea but use either maple or ash for the shelf itself, just to have some contrast.
@marklandree2413
@marklandree2413 Год назад
Very, very nice! I wonder how much more weight they could handle with the installation of keyhole hangers, not that it seems to be needed.

what would be the strength if you cut the whole bracket out of a single piece of wood?

What is the purpose of the blue tape on your router table?
@NewtonMakes
@NewtonMakes 3 года назад
It prevents my router lift from moving up or down due to the vibration of the router.
@pteddie6965
@pteddie6965 2 года назад
Hey, Tim. I have the same router table and Billie has come up with a simple solution to a big problem with this table. If you are routing several identical pieces at the same setting or perhaps even one long board, the setting that you have set might change slightly due to vibration. A subsequent version of this table has a lock for the setting, but a piece of blue tape is much cheaper than buying a new router table. See, Billy is not just another pretty face!

Your fingers got a lot closer than I’m comfortable with during the pattern routing. I would at least use a push block.
