@scott_diy: Built-in bookshelf 📚 I’ve wanted to build a built-in book shelf for years. I remember seeing them on Pinterest and thinking I’m never gonna be able to do that. So when the opportunity presented itself. I went for it . And honestly, it turned out to be way easier than expected. I hope this video inspires others to try out a DIY project that has been on their mind for a long time 💪🏼 #DIY #homeimprovement #homerenovation #ukhomerenovation #bookshelf #builtinfurniture #livingroomideas #livingroominspo #alcove

I also got mine cut at b&q…it did not fit together perfectly. It was cut too small and at the wrong angle, wonky! Waste of over a £100!

this has helped me SO much. I was debating what material to use to attempt to build my own shelves

To scribe coving (or skirting) cut it at 45 degrees, then use a coping saw to cut along the edge again. Perfect scribe. Plenty of YT videos explain it better than my words

Good job...to make it lighter you could have used single 18mm shelves then glue and nail on a 20mm pine cover strip on the front edge which would give it strength and stop it bowing. and you would not need to iron on the edging.

Cabinet maker here, have a look into how to scribe, essential for a good fitted furniture fit, also useful for the coving.

cut coving with a mitre saw if you have one. lay it flat and Google "crown moulding compound angle calculator to get the right mitre and bevel

B&Q always tell me they can’t cut any wood whenever I try to get anything there 😤

For the coving, why not miter the coving you’re going to install and cope it?

It looks great! But why did you not just do floating shelves? (Genuinely curious, not criticising!)
