Scribe the bottom to profile to the baseboard molding?

Nice! 👍🏾👍🏾

Gunstock is a nice stain. I used it on my own Poplar bookshelf.
dropbearonya
That's beautiful.
AlvaBlack
Turned out okay? Nah, that's nice.

*scratching neck like a crack addict* got anymore of those... shelves?
RexLibris
Bookcases are one of my top 4 pieces of furniture. Yours looks wonderful.
Senaka11
Thank you! It was a real education, haha. I’ve already started on an L-shaped desk for my office.

Senaka11
Aw, thank you! : )
SnoopyDancing
now make the hidden room behind it
CanadianOneDollarCoin
Nice to see you built it by the book
NZAKLSeaHawk70
Looks great. Just a suggestion but if you put a plinth under it say 5mm higher than the skirting & in a bit it will sit flush to the wall
Senaka11
It’s got a board behind it that it’s screwed into; I didn’t want it flush because there’s an outlet behind it. Thank you!
NZAKLSeaHawk70
?
dissonantcognition
Nice work! I’m proud of you!
Senaka11
Aw, thank you!
dryden1404
keep going, make things its good stuff.
Senaka11
Yeah, I’m coming to realise that. I’ve already started on a new desk for my office. Picked up some gorgeous mahogany for the top this AM.

For future dowel needs —— cheap as chips bamboo skewers are quite strong :) Nice job ?
Senaka11
Huh, good to know! Thanks!
feren
Nice work, @OP!
Senaka11
Thanks!
SageAdv1se
Looks great! Did a solid job of it.
Senaka11
Thank you!!
RaftinHippy
Thought it was a hidden doorway from the thumbnail, awesome job though dude!
Volimar
Yep. You know what you have to do OP.
Senaka11
Well…It is right next to the bedroom wall…I guess I could close off the door and put in a new one behind the shelf…hmmmm…
ihearthisplaceisforoldpeople
That’s a fine looking Zoom background!
Senaka11
Haha I hadn’t thought of that, but good idea!
StevieTheAussie
That’s some damn-good bookshelf making there.
Senaka11
Thank you! It was a real education, haha! I’ve already started on an L-shaped desk for my office.
Jopler420
nice work! what are you using to support the shelves? i only ask cause they dont look recessed into the side walls, so if ita only nailed or
Jopler420
screwed, they wont be abke to support alot of weight
Senaka11
It’s got a board and several screws attaching it to the wall. Thank you; it was quite an education, haha
Wowcablesucks
Nice work
Senaka11
Thanks!
Apothecarius
Now tell people there's a hidden doorway behind it so they'll check it out
kitskinner19538
Looks like you're going to need a ladder ?. It's a good day for getting ideas on what to fill it with ?
Senaka11
Oh trust me, we have boxes and boxes of books to unpack lol
moffit
I like it, but it seems strange for it not to have a top with that decorative bit. Won't it be stressed at those two joints when moved?
Senaka11
The “pediment” and backboard keep it from wobbling, and it’s screwed to the wall.
EmporerDragon
Better start up on the next 5 shelves as bookshelves tend to go from empty to full before you can blink.
Senaka11
Oh believe me, the wife is eagerly unpacking several boxes of books as I type this lol
DianaRR
I think it looks great.
Senaka11
Thank you!
Whiskerbat
Senaka11
Very kind of you to…GIF, lol. Would that I could design and build stuff as beautiful as Ms. Kendrick.
Kazeite
It looks like it's ready to fall apart at the slightest touch right in front of your disapproving father. But I'm sure it won't. Probably.
Senaka11
Considering I learned everything about how to make it from my dad, who’s a master carpenter in his spare time, I feel ok about it lol
Eomund521
Professional cabinet designer. Looks good. If you are worried about weight bowing the shelves. You can add a strip of wood along the back
Senaka11
Good to know, I’ll keep that in mind
Eomund521
It looks solid wood, so it should be fine unless you load the crap out of it. You can do this if you think you need a bit of strength.
Eomund521
And your finish work is nice. Just fyi.
Senaka11
Thank you! That part was deeply, deeply satisfying lol
Eomund521
It really is isn't it? I love the way things reveal themselves as you stain it. The grain begins to pop.
Eomund521
Under the shelf for a little strength
Outbreak42
Or behind the backing, along the middle of the shelves. Then just screw it though the back board and in the shelves.
Eomund521
A possibility. But the shelf might be able to fit flush to the wall is all. We design them to be inset so the brace can be flush. But you
Eomund521
Can definitely install it underneath after the face. And can make a screw point to attache it to the wall if you like too
NZAKLSeaHawk70
And use a couple of L brackets and screw the top shelf to the wall so kids can’t climb and pull it over on themselves
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
No. Put some hinges on it and make it a door to a secret room.
HairyChairstepper
What they said. Looks great, but pretty unstable when loaded.
heywoodjabme
Just like my ex.
Senaka11
It’s attached to the wall via a plank and a couple screws. No kids, thankfully, but appreciate the advice!
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
Earthquake safety too.
Senaka11
In S central TX, so we don’t really get many earthquakes, thankfully
