Another great video, thanks. I am about to finish the Napa Valley Dining Table for Power Up course. It was a great project with your excellent course!
Thanks David!
Just finished a similar project. Tried it without the brass sleeves, and it was a total failure. The brass sleeves are not optional!
Nice project great tips thanks for sharing
This is a throwback project! You aren’t fooling us longtime fans 😉
It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years!
I don’t usually like contemporary designs but this is quite nice. You mention that it’s quite stable when loaded – is it “cat stable?” Thanks for sharing., and Happy New Year.
Really like the modular design. Easy knock down and move shelving for people who move frequently.
This is beautiful, Steve. I wish I had a place for it.
Hi Steve! Happy New Year! Not only do I enjoy your videos but your podcasts are outstanding too!
Great video Steve. Thanks for posting
Really beautiful work, Steve! Awesome looking bookcase! 😃
I hope you had a fantastic Christmas!
Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great work Steve
Great plans, Steve – well done!
Which clamp from Kreg were you using for part of this build? Went looking for it, or something like it, but can’t find that style anywhere.
I learned from you how to use my first Tablesaw. I kept on watching because I really love that you don t hide your mistakes – mainly because they could have been mine… 😅I hope, you can keep making Videos for much, much longer!
Thank you!
Love the bookshelf. Happy New Year to you and your family ❣️🎉
We all remember words of wisdom from Steve: put the crappy side against the wall. 😉
Thank you for this video. Or should I say episode as there have been so many of them?
I digress, but I get a blast out of seeing you using your mallet.
That mallet was one of my very first woodworking projects, that I got into after watching your video, and I still have/use it. I should tune it though, as the handle is too large.
Thanks for watching this video! If you’d like to build one yourself, you can get plans here: https://shopwwmm.com/products/contemporary-bookcase
I really appreciate your support which allows me to keep my videos sponsor-free!
Awesome project Steve. Thanks 👍! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Nice build Steve. Has that look of many similar plans from the early 1960s I remember as a kid.
It’s hard to make something look simple. And you pulled it off beautifully. Started with the BMW build with your weekend woodworker course, and built the storage cart too. Since then, graduated to a beefier table and now building my own entertainment center from scratch! Thanks for the journey and appreciate giving me a leg up when I was getting started!
