How to Build a Bookshelf with Hidden Storage Drawers @WoodshopDiaries

Shara Woodshop Diaries | How to Build a Bookshelf with Hidden Storage Drawers @WoodshopDiaries | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 5 minutes ago
In this video, I'm sharing how I built this DIY bookshelf with "hidden" storage drawers!

While the drawers in this project aren't necessarily HIDDEN, at first glance, you may just think these are really thick shelves. But the shallow drawers are a great place to store away remotes in a living room, your secret candy stash in a pantry...or whatever else you want to hide away!

Follow along in this video to see how easy this was to put together, then grab the plans and details below to build your own!

NOTE: At 3:36, when I installed the back panel, I said verbally that I cut it from 3/4" plywood. But I misspoke. I cut this from 1/4" plywood as you can see in the video.
