You obviously know what you're doing. So your hesitation and then burst of joy when the lights worked was sooooo relatable. It's nice that I'm not the only one who holds my breath b4 it all comes together😊
I actually am in talks with the wife on building a new mantel above the fireplace. Perfect timing, I was going to weld together a system like the Sheppard bracket. The link in the comments is broken though and I cannot check out with the item. On a serious note, I believe that what you did cutting out the drywall and mounting the shelves is illegal, at least in the last 2 states I have lived in. The drywall purpose is to add a firewall of sorts to prevent fire accessing the framing of a home quickly. By cutting away the drywall you now have exposed the inner walls to fire. Anyone reading this I would recommend checking with your local building codes to be sure you are not putting your home in danger or setting up code violations that will need to be fixed when you sell. As always, very detailed video! Thanks!
i relocated my 5th wheel toy hauler fridge and was looking for easy way to convert that empty space in to a pantry ... thank you this is very helpful and fast to the point . I can even do this with my arthritic hands ... I got an idea of what i neen to do on a 4x4x12 space just by looking at your videos
Pro tip, if you're going to paint steel pipe clean it with a good degreaser. Whether that be brake parts cleaner, acetone or alcohol. The pipe is oily and super dirty. If you try to paint over that you're gonna have a bad time.
If the pipe it's not galvanized just take a torch and burn the grease and dust on it, it's quite faster when everything is covered on grease and have been sitting in a dusty warehouse for some time. If the pipe is galvanized don't ever put it in fire, it's really toxic
Excellent, inspiring, thank you! Just a little comment here, regarding the jumper cables for lead strips: if you have an iron with spare 14 or + AWG cables (which can be found in almost any dumped electrical/electronic apparel, for free), you don't need to buy jumper cables, just a cheap 0.8mm to 1mm max Sn+Pb solder wire if you don't already have it (for domestic use, else having an alloy of Pb in your soldering would be illegal). Just make sure that the solder covers the contact rather than being the electrical transfer material in-between the contact, unless you use a wire alloy containing silver (Ag) but it costs more.
I'm loving this video. I've become a real fan of UA-cam content providers doing "beginner to expert" videos. Question/comment: I'd like to hear your comments on how you dealt with pantry walls being out square. Did you correct it in the shelf 'ladders'? Or was it not enough to even worry about?
I corrected for a very small amount of "out of square" by cutting the ends of the side shelves where they meet the long shelf to a very slight angle. For me the studs were very square, it was the drywall causing the issue.
13:02 When we renoed our kitchen, the carpenter (my FIL) bolted angle iron to the studs and we put in a floating 1’ deep counter top you could park a truck on. Since we tiled, we could just use plywood for the shelf.
Pro tip: listen to this dude lol Forreal tho my man, you are awesome. You’re an amazing communicator and teacher and I’m thankful I came across your channel!
Halfway through and I like your trick with the screw driver rolling over the 45’s, great trick. Never seen it before. Guess that’s why I enjoy watching this stuff, always learning, thanks!
impressedf he kept that drill bit drywall accident in the final cut. shows hes got humility, likable dude, i just cant figure out why he never answers the door when i show up drunk middle of tyhhe ne nihgt, what major weirdo hehe, jk ;]
Now i just need to get a few sets of floating shelf anchors and ill be good to go! I just got a router so this will be a nice project to test it out on
I really enjoy watching this video 3 ways to do shelves. Let me tell you I'm bilingual Spanish & English and so far this is by far the best way in my opinion to do box shelves. One question what kind of wood did you use for front shelves boxes? keep it up the good work and nice job.
So clean! I'm fixin to redo my pantry as well. You're such a talented woodworker. I wish I had your skill. I followed your plans for cabinets for my garage and they turned out great, except my drawers are 1/4" too small hahaha, so instead of two 1/4" shims, I have to use 3, which offsets the center.
Great video! I came into this thinking I’d do the first one you showed, but now I’m curious. Do you think it’d be a good idea to use the pipe fittings you used in the first shelf to make a floating shelf? Maybe using a hole bit on the back of the shelf (as thick as that fitting on the wall)
I would suggest ditching the on/off button and using a motion sensing plug with timer, so the lights automatically come on when you walk into the pantry and auto-turn-off after elapsed time. Great video - I enjoyed seeing the beginner to advance skill & techniques! Thanks.
I considered a motion switch but i didnt know if I would like having the light come on every time I went into the pantry. I think i like having more control over its use.
Another alternative is to run the switch to the door of the panty so the lights turn on when the doors open and off when they are closed. I did that with our closet doors and my wife loves it. It is especially useful for a panty if you store your groceries in there. Coming home with arms full of grocery bags, it would be nice to just walk in the pantry and set the bags down on the counter without having to stop and turn the switch on with your nose 🙂
Want to do something similar to a deep but narrow closet I have, I’ve been avoiding it because I was dreading the miter corners but looks like they’re not needed. Just 3 rectangles. How’s that friction fit holding up? Just a thought maybe a thin edge band with some magnets for cable accessibility would be better… I did something like that on a spat wall with led in between slats and the magnets make it easy to access the cables.
Great video bro! 👍🏾 That cheer at 16:24 was definitely a chippies cheer though, all the sparkies are looking at eachother wondering what all the noise is about 😂😂
The direct-to-stud shelving *prep* is applicable to so many other solutions - especially/for example cable routing scenarios where digital stud finders give too many false positives about power cables no matter where on the wall you place them!
Wow dude, that was amazing! Got me thinking now...just glad my wife wasn't watching or I'd be out there in the Florida heat trying to build one now 🤣...maybe when the weather down here get cooler. Def bookmarked this video. I'll have to check out the rest of your vids when the wife isn't around...👍👍👍
Thank you for doing this! What type of wood did you use on the first box build for the front face? Your overall thickness is 2.?”? 1.5” for the frame and .5 each top and bottom?
@@MWAWoodworks I'm getting ready to use them on some floating shelves in my bathroom. I ended up choosing them over this method because I needed to make an inside mitered corner for the shelving. And I couldn't think of a way to do it without one of the pieces being able to slide.
Hello, what wood did you use for your box shelves? It looks like 3/4in maple plywood and what did you use for your edges? was it a 2x6 cut in half? thanks.
Great build! Minor note: tracks are not to protect LEDs, but to diffuse heat from them. So protecting them too, but from overheating mostly, or they'd be plastic.
That's true for the track design in general however the LED strips I bought don't need it for heat dicipation. They can do fine without the track. I bought the track for protection only as I surface mounted the LEDs.
Great video! For the last one where you cut into the drywall, how do you handle those cut up edges? I’m assuming you wouldn’t caulk that unless the shelves are painted. What do you do for stained shelves like these?
Very awesome. I did something very similar but made the frame with plywood strips for the front and back. The bracket is awesome. I’m going to have to invent a project to use it.
How much weight will it hold? I do a lot of canning and those quart jars can get heavy, around 45 ounces each , so around 200 pounds per shelf. Recommendations? Thank you.
Hahh, this was amazing. Started out as any ol normal DIY make floating shelves that are not rly floating shelves and then by the end you are totally flexing and showing how floating shelves can go from a simple DIY thing anyone could do to a "ok yeah replicating this takes some serious skills". Good job and consider myself subscribed! :D
I really enjoy watching this video 3 ways to do shelves. Let me tell you I'm bilingual Spanish & English and so far this is by far the best way in my opinion to do box shelves. One question what kind of wood did you use for front shelves boxes? keep it up 👍 the good work and nice job.
This is helping me. At 9.13 in the video , you say that you are cutting a 2x4 into pices for the box shelf support frame. You mean 2x 2, right? I was planning on building something using this method (a 9' long, 8" deep shelf) but had planned to use 1x2. Will 2x2 add any useful strength?
Could you take this process and transfer it to a countertop? Been thinking about how to build a floating wall mounted desktop... also, if it helps, I'd be starting from open air framing in our barn...
Fantastic work man, first time here and i like your style, your a born teacher. You've erned a new subscriber today sir. Glad to be a part of your channel.👍👍 Take care, ~Jonny5🥁
the compression strength of the drywall with the wieght spread across it is far greater than just bearing on the studs IMHO you could also drill a hole in the drywall and spray in some expanding foam to improve it's ability to spread and carry the load
Replacing upper cabinets with floating shelves. Apparently having all of your plates and glasses in the open is aesthetically pleasing. Is the wood option truly stronger than the welded bracket? If so not a problem. Just having a hard time wrapping my head around that.
I wouldn't say wood is stronger per se it just depends on how big a shelving system your making, how deep they are and how thick you want the shelf to look. Metal brackets are usually only available for smaller thinner shelf applications and having a metal bracing system made for a really large shelving system will become real expensive real fast and for almost no appreciable gain. And if you're putting a shelf between two walls then it makes using wood much easier because you can tie into the side walls to provide even more strength.
I have several IKEA made floating shelves and they are identical as the second one you showed it here. But they are much cheaper and, yes I had to drill my own holes.
Zircon is way better option. Where I am, drywallers are using drywall adhesive on interior walls. Those magnets would be useless. For support I use 3/4" steel rods drilled right into studs
Can you tell me the name of the clamps you used to hold the guide for drilling holes for the Sheppard bracket? It looked like they had 2 heads but not sure. Love the video!!
This was a great and useful video! I think the pantry shelves are unnecessarily expensive and overbuilt and that cutting out the drywall was an extreme step, but very nice looking job in the end. My wife and I did a similar custom pantry recently, but we just used supportive and minimalist black L shelf brackets and 3/4 pine shelves we stained and poly'ed...still need to build the counter surface for the cabinets I built and finish the doors. Could use a durable finish recommendation that is faster than poly for the doors.
it is not our place to tell someone else what is unnecessarily expensive or overbuilt. The pantry shelves look great and should stand up to the weight of heavy liquid-filled jars or heavy appliances like crock pots, air fryers, etc. I do not recommend "L" brackets for this application as they will bend and sag over time, especially the thinner decorative ones, unless they have a crossbar to support and that interferes with the space under/between the shelves. These floating pantry shelves do the job excellently!
What an Amazing Insight! However, can you imagine being so clueless that you leave a message like this. And then you end up sounding quite ridiculous and you still don't even know why. 🤣 I don't though, maybe you figured it out by now. Keep the condescending, passive aggressive comments to yourself next time, especially when you don't know what your talking about 👍👍 Have A Great Day!

You cannot use a welded bracket when you have wrap around shelves. It's impossible to install.
…. Right. More asking for straight shelves…
I wouldn't say wood is stronger per se it just depends on how big a shelving system your making, how deep they are and how thick you want the shelf to look. Metal brackets are usually only available for smaller thinner shelf applications and having a metal bracing system made for a really large shelving system will become real expensive real fast and for almost no appreciable gain. And if you're putting a shelf between two walls then it makes using wood much easier because you can tie into the side walls to provide even more strength.
So if you plan to use the shelves in an open kitchen but load them with heavier dishes which method would you recommend?
i tried those with the light, but the only alternation i made was making a groove for the LED to sit flush
damn those cables would drive me crazy
great video as always!
Which cables?
@@MWAWoodworks the wires that hang from the led
@@rulowth4815 Me too. I always cut dado, so lights are flush on the bottom and all wires are inside shelves.

@@MWAWoodworks Thank you! What a quick reply!
A question. How far into the shelf should the support rods go into the shelf? Thanks
Great video! Learned a ton as a beginner.
This was a great and useful video! I think the pantry shelves are unnecessarily expensive and overbuilt and that cutting out the drywall was an extreme step, but very nice looking job in the end. My wife and I did a similar custom pantry recently, but we just used supportive and minimalist black L shelf brackets and 3/4 pine shelves we stained and poly'ed...still need to build the counter surface for the cabinets I built and finish the doors. Could use a durable finish recommendation that is faster than poly for the doors.
These shelves will be perfect for our use😀
The MMA shelf is clean and professional looking and a true floating shelf as you don't see the brackets at all.
it is not our place to tell someone else what is unnecessarily expensive or overbuilt. The pantry shelves look great and should stand up to the weight of heavy liquid-filled jars or heavy appliances like crock pots, air fryers, etc. I do not recommend "L" brackets for this application as they will bend and sag over time, especially the thinner decorative ones, unless they have a crossbar to support and that interferes with the space under/between the shelves. These floating pantry shelves do the job excellently!
What an Amazing Insight! However, can you imagine being so clueless that you leave a message like this. And then you end up sounding quite ridiculous and you still don't even know why. 🤣 I don't though, maybe you figured it out by now. Keep the condescending, passive aggressive comments to yourself next time, especially when you don't know what your talking about 👍👍 Have A Great Day!
I was wondering why the long bit-and pre-drilling - good video
Fantastic! Thanks a lot!
You're welcome
I loved it!
