444 Kid’s Maple Bookcase Pt.4
In today’s episode we get a look at the finished Kid’s Maple Bookcase. When I originally recorded the footage I was literally minutes away from the clients picking it up, so I may have skipped over some details you’d like to know more about. But I did cover as many of the final details as […]
441 Maple Kid’s Bookcase Pt. 3
In part 3 of the Kid’s Bookcase construction we start the final assembly. At this point all the components are cut to their final dimensions and we’ve done our dry fits to make sure everything is going to come together without a hitch. While I chose to use pockethole joinery to bring everything together, we’ll […]

It’s almost Halloween, so I thought I’d share with you one of the scariest things I’ve had to face in a long time. Gluing up the pieces for Samantha’s Bookcase! Thankfully having properly sized dados and attempting a few dry runs made the whole process a little less scary, but scary none the less. Enjoy! […]
389 Samantha’s Bookcase Construction Pt 2
In the last episode of Samantha’s Bookcase project, we covered ripping sheets of plywood to their rough sizes. For a small shop this can be a daunting task, but not impossible if you plan it correctly. A big part of my planning is not worrying about taking the cuts to their final dimensions yet, but […]
387 Samantha’s Bookcase Construction Pt.1
After a long delay and a few stops and stutters my wife’s bookcase is finally completed. It’s a simple design with a base and hutch. I decided to use plywood for the majority of the components, as cutting wider pieces is so much easier with sheet goods. But instead of the usual home center plywood […]
