How to transform your home with custom built-ins.

Published 2022-05-05
How gorgeous is this custom built-in bookshelf? I can’t take all of the credit, I teamed up with Kevin from Fine Point Cabinetry, and together, we built a 15-foot custom built-in bookshelf unit for our client. The two-toned look of natural rift-sawn white oak looks so beautiful against the Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal that the client and interior designer chose. And the backlit LED shelf lighting adds such a modern and luxurious look to this custom build. Many thanks to my buddy Jesse Hoover from JH Craftsman for the LED electrical work and the drywall patching! And a huge thank you to Lindsey Meehan Designs for coordinating this commission.

    the amount of planning up to and including the execution for a piece like this is insane. I continue to be amazed by precision executed in these projects. It's inspiring! Keep it up!
  • @raufhasim7919
    The attention to detail & workmanship is just at another level. Show how much you love what you guys are doing. Keep it up
  • @TracksWithDax
    This is INSANE Keith! You guys are beast. One thing I love about seeing how Kevin works is that he's super efficient, knows just what to do and has a bunch of old tools that just do the job. The end product is mindblowing! I would say I kinda loved the old stuff that was in there, coulda fit nicely with a high-end midcentury Nakashima/FLW style, but the work you guys did was incredible
  • @ptj6412
    I’ve built cabinets for years and I produce a pretty good well loved product. I learned so much from this build that will save me headache and time. Excellent video!!
  • @arthurford829
    I should’ve apprenticed with a woodworker instead of going to university and law school. At the end of my day all I’ve done is move paper from one side of my desk to the other. Maybe it’s not too late! You guys hiring an apprentice? Haha…
  • @PHuston311
    Gorgeous design and execution. Really like to see the collaboration projects where you call out new tips and tricks you pick up from from other builders. Witty and funny videos, love this channel. Keep ‘em coming KJ
  • @justinhenriksen
    Around that 5:25 mark, I really love that idea of the offset with a piece of paper. It's little things like this tip that make the internet so great!! Thanks gents!
  • @kalebdanico4572
    The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail in this video is amazing. Great to watch and learn from true professionals in the field. Outstanding work!
  • @JFantin75
    The master at his art once again. Good to see a new video KJ! Looks fantastic!
  • @benperry8350
    Absolutely FANTASTIC! I love the scribe technique. I would love a video covering the under mount LED lighting!
  • @joshuaglassman7558
    My toxic trait is that whenever I watch a woodworking video online, I think "Oh, with a little practice and the right tools, I could easily do that." Then I see your videos, Keith, and I am humbled so damn hard. Thank you for showing your craft in an exciting, yet brutally honest way. 🤣
  • @Dickie2702
    Great work guys. The lighting adds 1000% to the finished piece. Love it ❤❤❤
  • As always, Another stunning job!!!! Well done Sir…The attention to detail is amazing 🤩 Overall, love the work you and your partner have done.
  • @ChibiChula
    Wow... That is beautiful! 😍 So much precision and the end result is so clean and professional looking. You all did such a marvelous job! 👏
  • @mikebaker75
    Absolutely beautiful! I love seeing a color other than white nowadays! The contrast to the wood was perfect 👌🏻
  • @dwatson5902
    Amazing job. Looks beautiful…and congrats on the launch.
  • Those look absolutely perfect. I learnt so many great tips from this, makes me feel almost ready to try and build a smaller-scale version at my place! Amazing work, all!
  • @94Toyota
    Amazing Keith! I love the effort in the filming and editing of the video. That built in is a masterpiece! It really makes me want to set up my game!
  • @greyz1601
