Build Hearth Frame and Bookcase Units

day [Music] y one trick that I've used for years is you just start your nail oh need a different drill uh going straight for like I don't know an eighth a quarter and then bend it down and then you can go straight to make your life so much faster if you want another cheat coat get another drill and just essentially pre-drill your little pilot hole therefore you can just literally just slide your screw through and it will be a perf perfect day because you won't be cursing left and [Music] right nice strong Hearth here nice and big to so you can actually sit on it I like the way it turned out we're going to wrap it with all the goodies before the stone can come in but before we get started on that we need to establish our kind of side to sides and to make it easier I'm going to start just building my shelves right here right now so I'll need two of them they'll be 53 in tall so let's just start working on our shelves and figure the rest out [Music] one of the first projects I probably have ever built well actually was inspired to build was uh 2016 my wife bought me my first Craig jig pocket hole jig and an impact drill and uh one of the first things I looked how to do was like creating a shelving unit and it's cool because once you have your pocket holes in place you simply just put some wood glue and then stack the son of a gun up so it makes it easy so if you want to get in the building get a pocket hole jig and make some shelves and you'll be on your way to building so this is birch by the way uh the reason I got Birch is cuz my cabinet's a birgin so when I stain it all it's all going to look uniform sometimes you can get away with Maple but Maple has a tendency of still creating a little contrast so don't do [Applause] [Music] welcome to another segment is Alex going to break his back only one way to find out oh shoot that's not good oh boy stay don't follow on me now this is roughly the spacing of that countertops that we'll have in here it's they're inch and a qu this is 3/4 in so more than enough of a gap hey that's not that bad huh so this is 3/4 we got another half in to go ooh countertops get installed I don't think they're going to fit with this size dimension I think I might have to trim this down just a sco every time there's always something that comes up even when I measure 13 oh that's why look at this another 1/ in maybe actually 5/8 there and then this side is looks like a quarter so it's hard to tell if it's the floor if it's the ceiling I…
