oh yea, you always want to keep mama happy..she certainly deserves having these projects done for her, as i know she loves to have her home decorated her way...so here is my helping hand lindsey...:)
+Matthew Cremona ......what?!?!.....you didn't even hold on to it, even for the sake of the feeling that comes from, "having a ready bullet in the chamber"??? Woah! Doubly awesome indeed!
I can't do that. Once I get something done, I have to post it. Way too excited to share. That's why you'll see most of my stuff come out in the middle of the night. That's because I literally just finished making the video.
Great job Super Dad. Who needs a custom, bassinet, crib, changing table, dresser or what not when you have reclaimed floating shelves. Love the smell of oak when it's being machined.
At the risk of repeating myself, there are only two words you have to learn for a happy marriage, "yes dear". They have stood me in good stead for 53 years! Regards.
Recessed French cleats hmmmm never thought of that always used a spacer at bottom. Well one learns everyday, thanks. BTW always a nice feeling when you've done what mama wants ;-)
Great job; simple, attractive and quick. Sometimes I find that the simple projects are the most rewarding....it must be that "instant gratification" thing.
great project to share, the french cleat is a wonderful way to do shelves and i think many beginners will find them a very good way to hang things, hello matt, thanks for the video's....
Cool, Buddy. I have pieces around the shop that would make great floating shelves as well. I like the simplicity of french cleats vs other ways of mounting floating shelves.
Those look awesome, Matt! If my high school shop teacher caught you doing what you were doing at 5:36 he would have yelled "THAT"S NOT A HAMMER, BOY!" from across the shop
Usually wife first said: what a hack are you doing? And then, when you start to make cool stuff for house, she gave you a list what you should do. Story of diy'er )))
Nice shelves Matt! I like the lip on the front, that is a nice feature, good thinking by your wife. And I'm glad I'm not the only one to use a drill as a hammer, haha.
Very nice shelves! I'm gonna put these in the back of my head and probably make some soon! And you know, about women. When we say that we're gonna do something, there's no need for them to remind us about it every 6 months!! :P
Love your work. Really like the look of these and the way you hid the cleat. Thought the French cleat had to be a 45 deg angle though and i would be doubtful on the amount of underneath support for the bottom of the shelf, until i make one and try it out i wont know lol.
Great job Matthew!! Always nice to keep our wives happy. So, how do you like your Grizzly joiner? Have a great Thanksgiving if I do not hear back from you.
Nice detail with the hidden french cleat. I wonder why you don't use a riving knife on your table saw? Making a cut like the one you made for the cleat can go really wrong and a colleague of mine lost most of his middle finger doing that. Please be careful.
Nice. Particularly I like the 'I'm too lazy to get the hammer, so I'll use the back of my impact driver' bit. I have the same set and I do the same and every time I think: Should I be doing this? Would this be bad for the battery? Will it explode on me? But I'll do it anyway
oh yea, you always want to keep mama happy..she certainly deserves having these projects done for her, as i know she loves to have her home decorated her way...so here is my helping hand lindsey...:)
I like the sign that says "Thanks for being born" haha. I like the idea of having the french cleat inside the shelves to hang them up!
Thank you April! I like that card as well :)
Glad to see I'm not the only one who hammers with the bottom of their drill! Great video. :-)
+TheRestorationCouple Well I'm not going to use my fist :) Thank you!
sometimes, those one day projects feel the best! They have a good look to them and your wife decorative them very attractively
One day project and video. Doubly awesome!
+Matthew Cremona ......what?!?!.....you didn't even hold on to it, even for the sake of the feeling that comes from, "having a ready bullet in the chamber"??? Woah! Doubly awesome indeed!

Thank you Bill!! I normally don't care for oak but this stuff machined beautifully!
Nice work. Always important to keep the lady happy.
Thank you!
At the risk of repeating myself, there are only two words you have to learn for a happy marriage, "yes dear". They have stood me in good stead for 53 years! Regards.
Thanks Ron! That's the golden advice :)
Nice project, Matt. And remember: "Happy wife, happy life."
Thank you Charles!
Looks great Matt! Love me some French Cleats! Simple yet effective! And zero cost! Even better!
Thanks Joe!
Very nice. Old barn wood has a character that you just can't make.
Oh my gosh. So many projects I wanted to do this way but nobody ever made a video about it. Lame. Thanks so much!!
Those look awesome Matt! Very cool and quick project that makes the wife happy, that's a win in my book!
Thanks Mike! Everyone's a winner today!
Cool invisible joints! Good work!
Thank you!
So thats what a hammer drill is. Its all clear to me now. Great shelving Mr Cremona.
Haha! Thanks David!
The saw marks on the front makes the whole thing. People think we're crazy when we drag stuff like that home, but little do they know! lol Good work!
Loved the inset of the French Cleat. Great job as always Matt!
Thank you Richard!
Love the rustic rough saw look, Thanks for sharing Matt
Thank you Sterling!
Sweet project and it looks great....................... And once again, congrats on the expanding family............
+ITS A WOOD THING Thank you so much!
Beautiful result. I really dig the hidden cleat design.
Thanks you Michael!

loved the recessed french cleat idea
great project to share, the french cleat is a wonderful way to do shelves and i think many beginners will find them a very good way to hang things, hello matt, thanks for the video's....
Thanks Bob! Hope you're doing well :)
they came out awesome
+Scrap wood City Thank you!
Great video Matt,I love the way you hollowed out the back of the shelf for the cleat.
Thank you!
I like that you take care of your humps!
And it wasn't even hump day!
Really like how the cleats are hidden, never thought of doing it like that.
Thank you Robin!
They look great! Nice simple project, beautifully done.
+locohombre79 Thank you Martin!
Cool, Buddy. I have pieces around the shop that would make great floating shelves as well. I like the simplicity of french cleats vs other ways of mounting floating shelves.
Thanks Sean! It made for a really quick hanging. Looking forward to seeing yours
Nice job - I've not seen the french cleat done that way before - recessed into that back of the shelf Scott
Thank Scott!
Awesome looking shelves Matthew! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Tim!
Thanks for the idea I have rough oak pallets at work. Will be making some
Great idea! Now I have more uses for those live-edge scraps.
Thanks! Oh yes! Live edge shelves would be awesome :)
they look brilliant, good job Matt
Thank you!
Really cool hideaway cleat system. I love it!
Thank you!
Nice looking project, very cool that it can be done in an hour!
+Andrew Klein Thanks Andy! You're up late or are you up early?
Nice. If the wife is happy everyone happy.
Greg
Thanks Greg! So true!
Very nice Matt, I like the french cleat inside the shelves!
Thanks :)
I've always wondered how you could use a solid bit of wood as a shelf, you've solved the problem! Love the inset french cleat
Your nursery looks really beautiful, the shelves really came out perfect =) Loved the styling of them also =)
+Veronica Thank you so much!
Simple but nice, I like the way you hid the French cleats.
Thank you!!
I love when simple projects have a big impact. Looks great!
The hidden french cleat is also really cool!
Thank you!
Those look awesome, Matt! If my high school shop teacher caught you doing what you were doing at 5:36 he would have yelled "THAT"S NOT A HAMMER, BOY!" from across the shop
lol! Thanks Braxton!
I've got a hammer on the end of my drill, too! Specifically designed for drywall anchors 😉 I thought I was the only one that did that...
Hahaha! Must be a standard feature on all drills
They look great Matt!
Thank you!
They look really nice!
+Bruce A. Ulrich Thank you Bruce!
Now I don't need to hide the router I picked up on Friday. " But Honey I needed it for these sweet shelves"
Very neat result and well explained. "Simple" projects can make great videos :)
+Cactus! workshop Thank you!
Looks great. Like the rustic look.
Thank you John!

Haha! It's a trap!!
Nice shelves Matt! I like the lip on the front, that is a nice feature, good thinking by your wife. And I'm glad I'm not the only one to use a drill as a hammer, haha.
Great video Matt! I enjoyed learning about the recessed french cleat
Thanks Phil!
Nice drill-hammer there!
I love how you made them floating, going to add that to my list! Thanks Matt!!
Thanks Aaron!
Well done, That turned out nice!
Thank you!
Love the project. Such a nice way to make a project that can have so much utility for very little money.
That looks great, ah and that hammer drill!
Haha! Thanks Andrea!
great little project Matt
Thanks Kelly!
nice mug (oh and the shelves are good too!)
:) thanks Pete!
Super Job. I really like those.
Thank you Stephen!
get used to it, alot of projects around the house...lol. nice hammer drill.....lol. shelves came out very nice.
+Miter Mike's Woodshop haha! Thanks Mike!
Like those very much.. thanks for sharing.
Thank you Tom!
Keep up the great work!!
Great project!
Although I have seen French cleats before I have never seen them recessed into a shelf like that before, great idea ;-)
+Ultimate Handyman Thank you! :)
+Matthew Cremona
You are welcome ;-)
Looks great!
+Carb IV Thank you!
2 shelves = 2 thumbs up from me
Someday I'll have all your fingers!
"Happy Wife, Happy Life."
The golden rule of marriage :)
really nice.
I really wish santa would bring me a jointer like that for christmas.
Did you ask nicely
Great project! I need to get my hands on some rough sawn timbers like that. They finished off great with the shellac.
Thanks Andrew! I'm sure you'll run across some :)
So I'm not the only one that uses the drill to pound in the drywall anchor. :)
Seems to be pretty common :)
Very nice! I see you have the same "hammer drill" as me! Haha. 😄
Thanks! I can't be bothered to get a real hammer lol
good job, keep on trucking !
Thank you!
Very nice.
Thank you Craig!
Nice job Matt. I think I could do that project!
Thanks Ron! Go for it!
like the finish almost gives it a tiger stripe look to it.....
It does, I really like it :)
It's a hammer drill! 5:39
a multitool!
+Tyler G Came here to say the same joke!
Phil
+Matthew Cremona Ha! BTW, new mic sounds great.
+Tyler G Thanks Tyler! It'd better :)
Really nice Matt!
+donny carter Thanks Donny!
Always a pleasure to see your hair...er ummm...i mean your work !!!
lol!! Thanks William!
I like it! I'm really just commenting to get me higher in the engagement stats.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahshsh
I have one of those hammers :-) The shelves look great Matt
+The ShavingWood Workshop Me too. I've used mine for pounding drywall plugs too!
+The ShavingWood Workshop They have such an ergonomic handle :)
exactly who is giving this a thumbs down?.... more importantly why ?
Very nice shelves! I'm gonna put these in the back of my head and probably make some soon!
And you know, about women. When we say that we're gonna do something, there's no need for them to remind us about it every 6 months!! :P
Thank you! Only every 6 months?? Lucky!
Those are really nice shelves Matt. I see your using another foam brush :>).
Haha! I couldn't find a clean brush. No streaks with shellac :) thanks Steve!
nice
Very nice. If mama's happy everyone is happy. :-)
Thanks Dave :)
a very practical idea.
Love your work. Really like the look of these and the way you hid the cleat. Thought the French cleat had to be a 45 deg angle though and i would be doubtful on the amount of underneath support for the bottom of the shelf, until i make one and try it out i wont know lol.
Thank you Matthew! Don't let the conformists make you believe that it had to be 45 degrees
👌
Love the look. Just wondering why it is that with all the tools we have, men will still use a power driver to pound things into a wall?
One less tool to bring with us. At least that's my reasoning :) thanks Dave!
Great job Matthew!! Always nice to keep our wives happy. So, how do you like your Grizzly joiner? Have a great Thanksgiving if I do not hear back from you.
Thanks Stanley! I love it. It's my favorite power tool. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
"In my next video, I will finally get around to making a comb.....for my hair."
Awesome shelves!
Happy wife, happy life :)
happy life, happy Dema
Nice detail with the hidden french cleat. I wonder why you don't use a riving knife on your table saw? Making a cut like the one you made for the cleat can go really wrong and a colleague of mine lost most of his middle finger doing that. Please be careful.
Nice👍
Thanks Don!
I like the frames on the shelves. Did you make those? If so, they might be a good subject for one of your quick project videos.
Great technique! Do you think this would work for 6" or 8" deep shelves?
Nice. Particularly I like the 'I'm too lazy to get the hammer, so I'll use the back of my impact driver' bit. I have the same set and I do the same and every time I think: Should I be doing this? Would this be bad for the battery? Will it explode on me? But I'll do it anyway
Even if it explodes, I still didn't waste time going to get a hammer :)
+Matthew Cremona Exactly!
Beautiful work!
I'm wondering why didn't you milled the cleat into the shelves using the routher with, in example, a dovetail bit?
Thank you Giovanni! I didn't think the angle on the bit would be great enough to keep the shelf against the wall.
Very cool! Came out great. Do u find a 30degree French clear works better than a 45degree?
in this case it did since it requires less vertical height to go together that allowed me to fit the cleat system inside of the shelf. Thanks Matt!
Cool video.
2:16........Your long sleeves passing over the saw blade were making by butt hole pucker.....and I kind of enjoyed it.
hahahaha
Those are really great looking. The finish really makes the saw marks stand out. What fence do you use for your router?
Thank you Matthew! I'm using the Bosch deluxe edge guide: amzn.to/1lFJHrp
