    What separates a new woodworker from a pro is how well they hide their mistakes.
    I always appreciate when creators leave the mistakes in their videos, how to fix things is nearly as important as how to make things.

    Used this technique tonight with the threaded rods. Looked pretty good. Then I went to my bedroom on the other side of the wall and realized I drilled all the way through to the bedroom and the threaded rods were poking out.
    Guess I'm installing a floating shelf in the bedroom, too!

    I was legitimately thinking "oh yeah look at this guy with a beautiful workshop just effortlessly making perfect stuff" until disaster struck. I'm so happy you kept it in the video proving this doesn't always work out as first thought out to be, but with a creative approach they're always solvable. Et godt stykke håndverk!

    Awesome shelves, nice work even with an error, I remember when I was like 9 years old, my father hired a carpenter to do the finish work on the stair case. everyday for about a week after school, I would rush into the house and watch this carpenter work, he was an old timer, one day he asked me,, do you know when you can call yourself a carpenter? I said I don't know and re replied. when you can cover up your own mistake and no one knows the difference... BAM, I have always remembered that.
    He was fascinating to watch work as a kid, everything he did was done by hand, all that fine work on the spindles and railings and the fine tuning, so cool, today, I am a wood worker myself and I still learn new tricks every day. I love it.
    Thanks for the great project, I love the look of the thinner shelves it's looks so sleek

    Good tip for making sure you drill each hole in the shelves at precisely the same depth. Measure the desired length on your drill-bit and wind a piece of paper tape around the bit itself at that exact spot. Once you drill up to that spot you simply stop and you know that each hole has the desired depth. Great looking shelves!

    Dear Alexandre, I use the same method since 20 years, but I do this in brick walls and concrete. There I use stud screws (in german "Stiftschrauben"), which where normally used for pipe clamps. They where so strong, I could mount a table in the kitchen to the wall. I had only one support (a 40mm stainless steel pipe) in an angle straight to the wall. There I used M12, for my shelves only M8 and M10. I hope that your tips where used by many people, they are very helpfully.

    I've got to give it to you, americans. You make crappy houses/walls, but that makes it so easy to do things like this. Awesome.

    Chamfered corners were the highlight and made this a good job!

    I kept waiting for the *router* to come out for those chamfered edges. Great result doing it by hand!

    Very nice work. I just completed a set of these myself and they look pretty darn good. I will say I truly appreciate you showing the mistake that you made. I make them all the time and it’s actually one of the funnest parts of the builds is trying to find a way to fix a goofy mistake.

    I've been watching some pretty amazing videos for about 5 hours but this is the first I HAVE to comment on.
    You are so meticulous and have such amazing attention to detail. This actually blew me away! This is not just carpentry, it's a work of art. Thanks for sharing!

    The remedy on the holes, the 2nd chamfer and radius were awesome. Top shelf stuff bro.

    Beautiful!! I have a 100% certainty that if I try doing this, I'm gonna encounter so much more many problems than yours on the video!

    Long time viewer, first time caller here. Always been a big fan of this channel! I'm planning on taking this project on for my living room and was wondering if you have any thoughts as to max depth and weight for it? I'd be looking to do a shelf that's 12" deep, and want to put a few bookshelf speakers on it. Wondering if you think this would be too much weight for the setup... I love the style of this one with it's thinner shelves, compared to a lot of 2" thick options out there.

    You can also put LEDs inside the holes and cover it with a diffuser. Little more work, but also a pretty nifty save.

      7:45 he cut the recording it when it wasn’t 90 degrees to the wall and added a new clip after adjusting😂 but That doesn’t matter I make tons of mistakes, this is a super good idea

    The shot at 15:32 putting the larger shelf you notice the walls not completely straight. However, I really like how this project turned out and now I'm feeling inspired to build some floating shelves.

    Man, I am in the progress of doing open shelves using two by fours and that’s hard enough. With the thickness of the shelves, this is nuts. It turned out really well!
