So you think those piles and piles of books stacked up all over the house make you appear smart? That may have been the case in high school or even college, but you’re all grown up now and still buying book after book after book until they need a separate room. Now you just appear confused and overwhelmed, someone who doesn’t bother to organize their precious archives. Why? Perhaps because you haven’t watched these videos from Expert Village to find out just how easy it is to build your very own bookcase.

In this series of free carpentry videos from our woodworking expert, you will learn how to build that bookcase you’ve been needing for so long. Jon Olson demonstrates each stage in the creation of your new bookcase, from drawing out the plans to putting on the final coat of finish. And this is not just any bookcase, but a extended project for the home carpenter. You will learn how to make trim, router the sides and add a kickplate to the bookcase and even how to make a story pole. Best of all, Jon talks you through each step, from rabbeting the back to cutting shelves, with his signature style of clear and concise demonstrations.
