Who needs bookshelf plans when you have your own woodworking show?  Apparently, these guys don’t, but in this type of situation it’s easy to forget they’ve had time to prepare and rehearse before starting their project.  It’s not real life.

This video goes over the process of building a bookshelf a little fast, but it shows some good basic woodworking techniques and ideas that are worth following.  You would think they’d have a nice electric miter saw to cut their wood.  I haven’t seen a hand miter saw like that since Junior High School, but for those on a tight budget as far as tools go, it gets the job done.

Woodworker Plans For A Bookshelf

It appears that they are using pine for the bookshelf and tongue and groove boards for the backing and shelves of the bookshelf.  Notice how easy it was to score the tongue of the board with the straightedge and then snap it off.  Pine is a softwood and much easier on all your tools.

Hey, I have a hand sander just like that one.  It’s a nice easy to handle sander much easier than a sanding block.  That is a smart move using the wood scraps while hammering to protect the edge of the wood while they assemble the tongue and groove boards for the backing.  Experienced woodworkers know to do these kinds of things.

Over all, I like the design and makeup of this bookshelf.  Even though the shelves aren’t very thick, they should be able to hold up to heavier objects because of the framing underneath each shelf.  Now, that’s how to build a bookshelf.  It would be nice to have the woodworker plans for it.
