Okay, I'm halfway through installing open shelves in my kitchen right now, and I kind of resent how easy you make this look and how well they turned out. Mine are looking pretty good for a DIYer, but it's been pretty stressful. Great video and nice result!
Hey Andrew, thanks for watching! I'm pretty sure your shelves are turning out great, especially considering you're doing it all yourself - I've been a GC for a number of years so the experience helps the look. Thanks again!
We are purchasing our first home and will be closing in two weeks. I want to get rid of the cabinets in the home install shelves. Thank you for the video. Very nice work.
That turned out great! There’s more skill involved in getting all that level then most people might think. I install these all the time but typically get stuck in a scenario where The wall is painted already and there’s no tile to cover my damage. So I just drill a 1 inch hole in each stud directly behind the shelf with a laser shining down the bit, and Feed the rod right into the stud.
I love this style of shelf. I'm just wondering how much weight they can actually hold. I understand the pipes are strong, but technically isn't most of the weight supported by that thin bit of wood that's directly above the holes that were drilled? After watching this, I think I'll go with shelves that have the support bracket underneath. Beautiful job though.☺️
Awesome system. I’m researching ways to mount our floating shelves. The cast iron is strong and inexpensive. I wish you showed how the tile guy covered the holes.
I disagree. If the tile is done right it shouldn’t be obvious which came first. Putting the shelves up first eliminates any scribe cutting if the wall isn’t exactly flat. Plus using a Skilsaw on the sight, I doubt it’s a perfect cut. This method keeps it clean and simple.
How did you install secure the side corner pieces? Same method or was it a combo of that and pocket holes beneath? I’m trying to do the same and need to figure out how to secure the small corner pieces that tie shelving into cabinets... Any input appreciated and thanks for the great video, great work!
Nice job. What is the type of the metal hook you used? My kitchen has ceramic backsplash but the wall may not be hard since the drywall is not as strong as brick wall
Probably you could avoid taking the brackets off and putting them back on again if you line up the Shelf to the pipes and kind of gently tap it with a heavy rubber mallet say 2 lb mallet I think it would go in. Just a thought

I really want to do mine this way. Seems way sturdier. Only issue I have is my backsplash is 3x6 and wouldn’t cover those holes . I want to know how the tilers tiled over the holes.
dont do it his way. do it like this. and no i have no affiliation with whoever makes these. www.etsy.com/listing/551693204/studlock-floating-shelf-bracket-for-ez?ref=cart
Did you or your tile guys reuse the drywall cutouts & repair the cut lines then mastic over for tile? Or what was the process of ensuring there wasn’t a giant hole behind the tiles? I’m literally about to do this same project but want to be sure I’m not making life more difficult.
@@DCLAUniverse so I figured out a way to do it without having to use excessive mud. I bought a sheet of 1/4” drywall, cut them about 3-1/2”x3-1/2” (roughly how large each hole in the wall was where I installed the nipple/flange), measured how large the holes were on the flange at the largest end of the threaded portion, drilled holes in the center of the cut drywall squares to as the same size as the threaded flange, and placed them over the flange after screwing on the nipples. The total dry time was roughly 1-1/2 - 2 hours and I didn’t have to excessively sand and re-mud to cover up any drywall tape or level out any uneven areas. I was able to paint right after sanding! Thanks again for the video! My shelves look amazing because of you!
Hi this is great! How do you ensure the shelf can’t get pulled out from over the rods accidentally? I didn’t see you attaching the rods to the shelves. Thanks!
Also, just a thought: it looks like you’re using only two screw holes in the pipe fitting base to screw into the studs. You could use the other two holes to screw the base into the butcher block shelf, no?
I want an open kitchen but I don’t want my shelves for a 6 ft man I am only 5 ft I want my shelves no higher then my kitchen aid.,guys forget women are short and need to be able to reach things without a ladder.
Hey I was wondering what was used to install the large tile on top of the sheetrock... Glue?? I continue to get told to remove the sheetrock and replace it with hardie or wonder board before installing tile that size

Isn’t that a lot of cuts and extra work for a tile guy to tile around the shelves? Wouldn’t it be better to tile first then put the shelves on the pipes?
How do you prevent the shelf from sagging forward? And how long are the threaded pipes? I am looking to do this exact thing in my home. I already have the butcher block.
I like the concept but your shelves need to be thicker because after you drill out that hole you are not left with a lot of wood to actually support the shelf so if you load those up with heavy dishes, etc it could cause a blow out in the wood and everything comes crashing down.
Butcher block is very durable, it contains a lot of glue/resin. Most of the time, the glue joints are actually stronger than the wood fibers. They aren’t going anywhere. Plenty of product on each side of the bracket, nicely done.

No problem!!
Fabulous design.
Thanks
Simply explained.thanks
So nice of you
this seems to be most effective way and provides strongest support with minimal effort
It’s definitely the strongest way I’ve found to do shelving.
gorgeous work
Thanks.
Exactly what I want for my basement. Thank you.
Right on hope this helped you shoot us some pictures if you get some work done in your basement love to see that
Be the tile guy loves you lol
Thanks for the feedback appreciate it
Love it step by step will do in my little casa👍
Do it it’s a fun project
Thanks for sharing very nice shelves sir God bless.
Thank you very much for watching!!
Woow great idea using plumbing products for shelving 👍🏼
Thanks! Yes, it's definitely a lot of savings and does the trick.
- Excellent finished product ! ! ! Good job.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Awesome
Thanks. Appreciate
It’s amazing
Wow amazing.... great job

I love this style of shelf. I'm just wondering how much weight they can actually hold. I understand the pipes are strong, but technically isn't most of the weight supported by that thin bit of wood that's directly above the holes that were drilled? After watching this, I think I'll go with shelves that have the support bracket underneath. Beautiful job though.☺️
They can probably hold 100lbs
I'd say they can easily hold anything you would normally store on kitchen shelves or in a cabinet.
Goodjob
Awesome system. I’m researching ways to mount our floating shelves. The cast iron is strong and inexpensive. I wish you showed how the tile guy covered the holes.
Hello. So for the holes. All we did was used thin set over the holes and the tile guy tile around. I’ll show that on another video.
@@DCLAUniverse Awesome!! Thank you so much.
wow that is amazing! I need to do this in my house! Thanks!
Finish Carpentry TV I would love to see that video. Keep up the good work. I enjoy all your vids.
💪
So you're attaching the hardware to the wall using only 2 screws not 4?
2 inch screws work out great.. we actually did a weight test and it held up to 300 pound
Do you have a video of when you tiled around the brackets or shelves
How did you cut the shelves so straight without a table or track saw?
Amazing those holes line up without using a drill press!
Hello, just years of experience.. Just gotta have a clear line and move super slow. Thanks for watching
Looks really nice 👍🏼
Wow this was a very informative and well made video! Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
Very informative 👍👍🙏🌝
Glad you enjoyed
Nice, love it ♥ Pls keep making videos. I wish I had those equipments lol
Thanks! Will do!
So when the pipes are re-attached to the wall, they are only secured with 2 screws, one too one bottom?
Yes one acre on top and bottom is plenty strong. I do use a thicker screw. 2invh long
good idea with brackets, but the tile should be put in first the shelves after. tile cut around the shelves don't look nice
I disagree. If the tile is done right it shouldn’t be obvious which came first. Putting the shelves up first eliminates any scribe cutting if the wall isn’t exactly flat. Plus using a Skilsaw on the sight, I doubt it’s a perfect cut. This method keeps it clean and simple.
Can you link or share where the large hexagon backsplash used in the kitchen came from? Love that look!
Homedepot has a few diffrent colors available
Hello. We got tile at floor and decor
How did you install secure the side corner pieces? Same method or was it a combo of that and pocket holes beneath? I’m trying to do the same and need to figure out how to secure the small corner pieces that tie shelving into cabinets... Any input appreciated and thanks for the great video, great work!
We just pocket hole under and then screw to cabinet on other side
This is verrrrryyy beautiful!
Thank you SO MUCH! That's really nice of you to say!
Its really useful
Thanks bro
Thank you.
Now, I need to know what size screws? I have Drywall screws 6X1-1/4". What scews do you have in the video?
You should use a longer screw. Something about two inches.
Do you need to fill in the drywall around the brackets?
I typically just add joint compound
Hi, do you guys tile around shelf or around pipe?
Hello. We tile around shelf after butcher block is installed.
Awesome video!!
Thanks!
Lol. Why not use a roto zip to cut a round hole.
Roto zip would probably actually work better.. I didn't have one that day
Great video...what happens if “honey I’m bored of these open shelves...I want cabinets because they are cool now”?
You should be able to pull out with some elbow grease. I always make sure to save extra tile
Nice job. What is the type of the metal hook you used? My kitchen has ceramic backsplash but the wall may not be hard since the drywall is not as strong as brick wall
We use 1/2 inch gas pipe
Really good information
I wish I had those tools to make it 😭. I love it! 3:25
Thanks
Get the goods. It’s actually not to crazy in terms of tools.
Probably you could avoid taking the brackets off and putting them back on again if you line up the Shelf to the pipes and kind of gently tap it with a heavy rubber mallet say 2 lb mallet I think it would go in. Just a thought
Hey there we will definitely give that a try I'll update you how that goes. Thanks for your feedback

What would you use if you couldn’t cut thru the drywall for those brackets? Drill a hole thru drywall & stud diameter of pipe?
Yes. would probably drill thru drywalls
Beautiful!
Thanks.
What are those pipes and fittings called that are used as the bracket?
6 inch gas nipple. 1/2 thick.

@@DCLAUniverse thanks mate.
Can you recommend a reasonable priced lazer level. Want one to install these types of shelves for my boss (wife) thanks
I have a dewalt later that works great.. I would say for minimal use you can probably look to open under a $100
Did you or your tile guys reuse the drywall cutouts & repair the cut lines then mastic over for tile? Or what was the process of ensuring there wasn’t a giant hole behind the tiles? I’m literally about to do this same project but want to be sure I’m not making life more difficult.
Hello. We just mudded holes and lightly sanded. The tile guy went right over mud
@@DCLAUniverse so I figured out a way to do it without having to use excessive mud.

@@DCLAUniverse also, I didn’t place tile over mine so that’s why I did it this way.
What’s the price on a Butcher block that size. It’s Beautiful.
We buy a lumber liquidators. There around $200
Thank you it’s so Nice
Looking good!!
Is it possible to install a floating shelf on a quartz backsplash?
Hello yes definitely you can do backsplash on quartz you would just need to attach through the courts into studs behind the wall
Hi this is great! How do you ensure the shelf can’t get pulled out from over the rods accidentally? I didn’t see you attaching the rods to the shelves. Thanks!
Khalid Ali Hello. Once you secure it to the wall and tile is installed. It would be really tough to pull out. Also the holes are pretty snug.
You add some glue if hole is bigger but I have yet to have an issue.
Thanks, Danny, appreciate the clarification.
Also, just a thought: it looks like you’re using only two screw holes in the pipe fitting base to screw into the studs. You could use the other two holes to screw the base into the butcher block shelf, no?
@@KhalidAli1 hello. I could but then I would not be able to attach to the wall. I think I answered your question let me know if you need more clarity
I want an open kitchen but I don’t want my shelves for a 6 ft man I am only 5 ft I want my shelves no higher then my kitchen aid.,guys forget women are short and need to be able to reach things without a ladder.
Did you take around the shelves or is the shelf on top of the tile back splash?
Tile around the shelf’s. Tile goes in after
Awesome bro... I'll be the first to say it. How much weight do you think they can hold? My mom has a lot of heavy old style china plates.
Thanks for the props. I would say it could easily hold 150 pounds. I’ve sat on the top shelf and it easily supported me. I’m around 185
What color wood is the shelves? Love this project. I am doing it myself.
Hello. The color is oak. Lumber liquidators sells them. They come 6ft long by 25 inches wide
@@DCLAUniverse Our Lumber Liquuidators are 8ft long and 25 inches wide. Thank you!!!

@@MetalFaceLoofah you use tile mastic
We go on the drywall with a mastic it’s totally fine and we haven’t had any issues.
Hi. What diameter is the black pipe? Thank you!
Looks great, appreciate the video. I assume your tile guy removed the shelves to install tile, then re-installed shelves after tile was complete?

What size pipe and paddle bit for a deeper shelf? We're thinking of installing a 30" long x 18" deep butcher block. Thank you
Hello. It’s a 7/8 paddle. And I would say even fir a longer shelf an 8 inch paddle would still work well
Please tell me what material the thin black window trim is in the main house - it looks fantastic!!
Hello, the trim around the windows is actually part of the window.. We use a supplier in riverside. ATN windows
How do you prevent the shelves from pulling out? or are they just held in by friction?
Isn’t that a lot of cuts and extra work for a tile guy to tile around the shelves? Wouldn’t it be better to tile first then put the shelves on the pipes?
We've tried it both ways and this seems to be the cleanest
How do you prevent the shelf from sagging forward? And how long are the threaded pipes? I am looking to do this exact thing in my home. I already have the butcher block.
Hello. It’s super strong. Not any sag at all. 6 or 8 inch pipes.
Just add liquid nails
What side black iron pipe? What size paddle bit?
Half inch. 6 inch long is good. 7/8 paddle bit.
@@dannyc8008 6in long for 12in shelf correct?
Yes. Six inch inch good for 12 inch shelf
Surprised you got the holes aligned with the pipes, marking & drilling by hand like that. A slight misalignment and you're toast...
Good call!
I wish you put the shelves across the window would have been amazing 👍great job though

Hello.. All of the rough materials we purchase at Home Depot.. the butcher block shelving we get from lumber liquidators.
You lost audio while cutting shelves.....drilling shelves, mounting shelves...
How you fix the balance hole space after fiting of wood?
We just mud over with 20 min
Do these shelves move if you apply pressure up and down on the edge?
No, they're solid and can support up to 200lbs.

How thick is the shelve?
Butcher block I used is 1.5 thick
this would be better without the background music
I agree for some reason when we first started shooting we thought background music was the way to go
No more back grout music..
