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!
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
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!
I really enjoyed your video on building floating shelves! I recently made some using a similar method with 1x10 pine boards, and they turned out great. I had issues with the brackets showing, so I went for a thicker maple board which helped create a cleaner look. Also, your tip on locating studs with magnets was a game changer for me. Thanks for sharing these insights!
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 ;]
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.
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
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 😂😂
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...👍👍👍
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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🥁
I do see a bit more support having cut the rabbets on the trim pieces for the box shelves, but a more faster and slightly eaier way is to just figure the size of shelf you want (more for the thickness or height). So say you want it to be 3" thick. Rip your 1x or as well call em at work "stile" to 3" and have your shelves cut ¾" shorter than what you want it dinished at (for 12" deep, rip shelves to 11¼") then do the miter like you did, andi usually nail the stile pieces together and make a "U" and then come back and tack the plywood to it, also can add some glue but 2" finish nails hold it well. Then building more of the bracket to hold it. I just rip some scraps down and come up to where it slids in nice and snug. Then cut according yo width of the inside of the box and also id recommend cutting theegs around ⅛" or ¼" shorter than the internal plus the material you have on the wall so you won't have an issues fitting it to the wall. I'd made a floating shelf for my Wife a little over a year ago, and put under our tv for the time just like I explain, and ran some 3" screws in the legs from the back of the bracket to form the frame. Works just fine and is well sturdy enough.
Complete noob here - 6:42 how do you use the table saw to cut the recess? Are you just making multiple passes over the full board length and moving the fence each time? A little confused how you did it so quick and clean. Thanks
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.
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.
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 🙂
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?
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)
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.
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?
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.
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...
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?
@@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.
For option 3, what if you were going wall to wall and didn't need the side edges? Would you resort to using a nail cut to attach the "box" to the frame?
13:20 you don't have to remove all of the drywall stripe, just rectangles where the studs are. then you add some spacers there. Same exact strength and you do not completely destroy the drywalls rigidity, as well as providing a seriously easier repair if the shelves are removed.
@@MWAWoodworks I am mostly concerned about the lost horizontal rigidity of the drywall. Since it no longer has a stud on its horizontal edge, ot can give in with moderate pressure. Some strong mounting adhesive could bond it with the shelve frame and reduce the blanket effect.
Hmmm I guess I'd have to see an example of what you mean. The drywall is still screwed to the studs vertically in multiple locations along the wall on top and bottom of the cuts I made. I can't see how it would go anywhere.
@@MWAWoodworks It can give in if force is applied at the center of the unsupported drywall. Ie. someone loses ballance and leans on the wall near the cut self edge. A new support could be glued/screwed, to act as a horizontal stud, before the frame is mounted.
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!!
Awesome tutorial! Subscribed to you channel! 👍👍 Thank you for making this video and sharing your woodworking knowledge!! Really enjoyed it and appreciate the jokes on it as well. 😂😂 learned a lot and inspired me to do a small project.(just for beginners and starters like me) as I only hava a jigsaw (for now) yay!! hehe

Nicely done video, thank you!!
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?
Hidden behind the shelf
Ah ok, so the box butts up against the drywall and only the frame reaches the studs? That makes sense - thanks!
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.
Great tutorial! In the last example, could you build the frames out of pine instead of hardwood?
I would not. The hardwood is much stronger and ridgid than pine.
Awesome project! Thank you! Where would i purchase the light tracks with plastic covers?

With a box shelve, what the thinnest support bracket you would use for a 8 inch deep shelf?
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.
What LED brand has those extension splices?
great video
Good Stuff
👍
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?
What a great video! Could a sensor switch be used for the leds? I would forget where the switch is....
I didn't google it but I'm sure someone makes a motion sensor that is compatible with LEDs!
I'd be curious to see you do a review of the HOVR bracket system. They claim to be the strongest method of making a floating shelf

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!!
Those are one handed squeezes clamps from Bessey

A question. How far into the shelf should the support rods go into the shelf? Thanks
What are the dimensions of the hardwood you've used as the front piece for the advanced technique?
