Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves ru-vid.comUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

Beautiful work. It makes me sick though watching you guys put pieces together and they fit absolutely perfectly seemingly on the first try.

@JonPetersArtHome 9 лет назад

+JayXX Thanks Jay, I'll talk about that on Tuesday

@BillHantzopoulos 9 лет назад

Boy Jon, it amazes me how you can take a fairly simple piece and make it so classy. I say it al the time, truly first class work. You make improvements and add detail I would never even think of adding. That's why I love your videos.

At 64 years old I am exploring a passion I was not able to do. I have made a lot of planter boxes and now I plan to make this beautiful book case. I love your work.

The book case looks great. Walter was a big help moving a fairly heavy piece. Another great project and video. Thanks Jon!

@TravisInCanada1 9 лет назад

Jon, Your channel is one of the greatest things on RU-vid. Your video editing reminds me a lot of the Norm Abrams and the New Yankee Workshop. Thanks for your hard work and sharing it with us for free. I’m learning a lot and I hope I can come remotely close to your skill level and quality of work.

@GNO89 8 лет назад

@stevemcentyre1570 9 лет назад

Structurally this piece is very robust. It will be very sturdy and look great for years and years. The top turned out wonderfully. I like the way you matched the top and base. Nice contrast of colors. First rate stuff. You do good work young man. keep it up.

@dynomax666 7 лет назад

Nice tip on cutting the piece strong when handling large sheets... i may try this, i've often found myself ripping the sheet in 2 on the floor with a circular saw, then ripping a couple off that... i have a nice large shop saw, but its still hard. This turned out pretty nice. I am doing some 5' wide built in window seats with bookshelf below, this will adapt quite nicely. I'm torn between a dark stain on the cabinet and painting it cloud white to match my trim and running baseboard across it making it look built in with a wood top(seat). either way this is the way i'm building it... couple sheets should do my two seats for kids room... great vid man, keep this kind of stuff rolling.

@davidfisher3710 6 лет назад

Hey jon, I built this sofa table following your plans and it turned out great! I used old pallet wood boards that my wife sanded and finished for the top and base mold, and it turned out very good. Thanks for the plans and inspiration. I also wondered if you had ever built a corner curio? My wife wants one for a kitchen corner, and I hoped you had the plans for one. Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next project.

A beautiful way to showcase your set of encyclopedias. Like anybody uses those any more.

@leapinglemurcraftworks6426 9 лет назад

Looks great John. I thought the doubling of the 3/4 ply was a bit much until I saw the finished product - looks great. Gives it a sense of depth, strength and quality. You have an eye for combining stained wood with painted wood - what color paint is that. Looks like it has a tinge of green in it - hard to tell on the video - looks great against the stain. It's a shame the back is up against the sofa - you did a nice job with the detail on the back - again, goes to quality.

Very nice looking and sturdy book-case. Must be quite heavy btw for 2 of you to pick it up the steps! I liked your explanation for the half inch back ply. I am a hobbyist and for my bookcases I used quarter inch (6mm) but I will consider thicker one next time. Thanks for sharing. Regards,
