Impressed with the concept, design and the execution. Your attention to detail and skill set made for an excellent video that I greatly benefited from. Thanks much for taking the time to share with the rest of us. Cheers!!
Speaking with 30 years of building experience this his hands down the best technique to building your shelf boxes , as far as mounting bracket I can see using this method perhaps other methods as well but by using your method you would save money for sure great job God bless
Thanks, i was going to make 4 of these using lock miter joints and make them all look like one solid chunk. These look great and you didnt invest a lot on unnecessary hardware as the shilfs only need to suport 10 lbs each that i was going to do with french cleats Mine are to put speakers on, might even do one for my projector. This set you did look good and will work just fine for a few disply items. Provided no one stacks 50 plates on them they will hold just fine. If your going to load them down you'll need metal brackets that are welded using 1018 structural steel.
Nice technique for building custom shelves thicker than 1". I use solid 5/4" myself and rods screwed in the wall at stud locations to hold mine up, but this gives me options for thicker shelving down the road where thick solid boards get crazy expensive. More complicated build of course, but they look great.
Really nice option! Also love the « how much do they need to hold » quote😂 people don’t seem to understand that you would need a shit ton of books to reach 20 pounds.
Very clever, VERY sturdy and very cool! But also very labor-intensive. Final installation was easy and quick (a plus for the customer-- you're not there very long). I'm not a pro woodworker, and I have never sold any of my "work" (if you can call my occasional wood-torture doo-dads that), but I do often wonder about customer perception of things. Scenario: when you walk in to install, customer sees you carrying two box-looking shelf thingies and two sticks with some notches and some weird-looking assemblies attached to them. They hear or watch you drilling. You quietly attach the sticks-with-weird-assemblies to the wall. You slide the boxy shelves onto those sticks-and-stuff. You leave and invoice the customer for $750.00 (or whatever-- what do I know? I'm not a pro). Customer wonders, "He was here for 15 minutes taking measurements over a week ago, then he comes in with sticks and boxes for 20 minutes... now he wants $750.00?" I really don't know how all this works!
This can be solved with line item estimates and invoices. 4 hours cut and glue up 2 hours prep and sand 1 hour install Materials - $200 etc. They can never question it if they know what they are buying. Cheers!
For your brackets, if you want more strength....instead of just gluing and screwing the protruding arms you can cut them thinner then glue and screw as shown. But now glue a sheet of 1/16 to 1/8 panel on top. That will greatly resist the arms from pulling away at their top connection.
@@CB27, same here, I was looking around the shop and not paying attention to his work, I had to back to the begin of the video to catch up on his work to find out I’m looking around the shop again………..😂😅😂………….damn. Back to video again………
Great video, Jordan! Those shelves came out beautiful. I love the elegant simplicity and it looks great in your client's space.Some very handy tips regarding the different back bevels. I will certainly keep them in mind! Thanks. - Joe
Love the concept and design. I plan to try this out on a small shelf for my son's room to keep his Xbox. If it works, I will build 4 large ones for my fireplace built-ins.
I'm watching this video 2 years too late but I like this idea. Nice work 👍 If I were to ever build this, one modification for me would be to skip the rabbits. Just make 2 different pieces, the inner spacer, and the 1/4" face strips. Glue the plywood and spacer strips, then glue the 1/4" face pieces on. Would use a little less material this way (I'm frugal) and there's less room for error (at least for me anyway)
Very interesting technique, I learned something new today. My one concern would be the color difference between the veneered plywood and the hardwood front. In your case, you seem to have matched the two colors pretty well. But I'm concerned that over time the colors would age differently. Thanks for sharing this, though, it's an intriguing approach.
Interesting technique. I might have made the rabbit shallower to prevent wood movement. Also, you were using a climb cut on your palm router which probably caused your unstable feeling.
@@EverydayBuilds no such thing as too much 😉 at least as a hobby and doing my own house, I like to take my time and do my best. For customers, it depends on the price of the project.
I really like the front tongue and groove to cover the edge of the plywood. If you flipped the glue up face down you could see the joint and might be able to close the gaps. Also you might not have to deal with the glue drips on the front of the ply. Just a thought. Good work.
Shelves turned out great man. This is the first time I've caught your channel. Cool to find a channel that is similar to my own, I'll definitely have to give this technique a try!
@7:52 Good job testing it but note that there are two types of loading: static and dynamic. A shelf may hold up a stationary load but if you drop the same weight, it could impart a greater force than the shelf can otherwise handle.
@@EverydayBuilds you dont think anyone ever drops weight onto a shelf, in use? id love to hear you explain to your customer that they "used the shelf wrong" lol
@@EverydayBuilds Cats. The answer to dynamic load and shelves is cats. My cats climb on anything they can reach and will jump shelf to shelf. That said, I really like how you went about this build, it's a great look.
Awesome video. Nice build! FYI I do miter fold technique for the outside corner of my cabinet toe kick frames with plywood and they turn out perfect and have never seen an issue with them. But to each their own. Really awesome attention to detail and beautiful end product on your build!
Nice work and excellent craftsmanship. But dang, those look like they take forever. Might I suggest an even quicker way with zero miter fold? Butt joint the edges with exposed plywood on front edges and edge band the edges with matching veneer. Alot less work and will definitely look like a solid piece of wood.
I'm glad to have come across this video. It validates an idea I had for floating shelves. I haven't built them yet, but I have done a sketchup design for them. My design call for 1/4 in plywood facing and a 2 x 2 border. The quarter inch ply only extends 3/8 into the border and allows room to put a bevel on the bottom of the boarder to give it the look of a 3/4 shelf.
I've always used steel as rails if there's heavy loading, quick and dirty you could use some longer structural screws or threaded rod, as long as there's not much weight. 3/4 isn't gonna hold much with just a couple screws
I made floaters this way at first, the result is nice but its a lot of work. I found that it is much faster and easier to make folded shelves. You also have the added benefit of not needing any solid material and you don't have a material seam top and bottom that needs to be flushed and always shows. When done well it looks like the shelf grew as one piece. Usually I can make a set of 3 or 4 folded floaters in a couple hours. The trick is straight square cuts at 45.5 degrees and the rest is easy.
Wow - what a seriously beautiful execution. But with the cupboards being already painted, I'm wondering why the client did not specify the shelves to match.
The contrasting is really nice. It really helps break up a lot of the white in the room and draws your eye to the gorgeous shelves as soon as you walk in, helping eliminate some of that real sterile feeling of a kitchen with a lot of cabinets. Especially white ones. Just my opinion tho. I think it woulda be a shame to paint those beautiful shelves.
Love it! I have found that using birch for supports makes for a solid shelf. While my end results look equally good, your work is wonderful to watch! Happy new year buddy!
Just in time. Wife wants shelves in a room. Question, if both ends are finished how do you slide the bracket and get glue on the end pieces? Great video
Great job and very clean install. I like the build technique. Wondering if you could have shot a screw through inside of cabinet into the end of each shelf for added support? 👍
Hey brother nice work, and I just bought myself a Joiner. And it would be cool to see some video on tips about method and common practices, as well as any safety tips both general and from experience especially... I really like your floating shelf construction methods, especially the two degree Mitre on the rabbit, quite ingenious
I love the idea and concept of your shelfs. Definitely going to try this for some upcoming shelfs in my study. I didn’t see you connect the shelf to the mounting bracket. How do you accomplish this?
That's great, thank you! There are three options for securing the shelves to the brackets. The first option is to apply some glue to the bracket and slide the shelves on. This is the most permanent option. The second option (and what I did for these) is to put a couple pin nails at the back of the shelf that go into the bracket. Using pin nails will keep it in place, but will allow for removal if necessary. You could use small screws. And the last option is to not secure them at all. I build mine so that they have a pretty good friction fit and would never come off unless someone really pulled on them. But it's totally up to you. Good luck!
The title says NO MITER FOLDS then proceeds to do a miter fold. Do get me wrong I really like the video and thank you for the time and effort you put into it. It was really well done! I just don’t understand the thumbnail title. Thank you again👍.
The sanding in of the finish. I havent seen that before. Is that a sand paper. Or a polishing pad on your orbital? Great shelving btw. Clients could not be happier
I'm impressed with the expensive tools in your shop. And how you used them all in the video. You really didn't need to break out the fancy track saw except to brag about having it
For the miter folds I would recommend switching up the type of tape . Some 3M heavy duty packing tape works best . Especially for long miters . Should have some acetone handy when removing to prevent pulling the grain
I've built many floating shelves, usually on site for new construction, never with this method. I'm impressed with your design and execution. I'm definitely going to try this on my next project. P.s. weight has absolutely never been an issue with any floating shelf I've built so I'm confident your method is plenty strong 😂
@H J lol I've got a floating shelf with 30lbs on it that isn't going anywhere and is constructed similar to this method but miter wrapped instead of nosing piece. Attached to wall with the same method.
@@rogermathews3035 how much of that 30 lbs is on the very front edge . I'm guessing it's exerting less than 4lbs. A person touching the front edge for even just a moments stability will be the same has having 100lbs sitting mid shelf . Build for the unexpected not just the ideal.
Beautiful result. I will have to view again to see how the mounting is separated from the shelf itself. I did have a phone call halfway through so I might have been distracted. Very nicely done and looked great in the install on the tile!
Nice build and execution, but I will keep building them with just plywood and miter folds. This way has a lot more cuts which means more time. Is more expensive with the hardwood being used. I like the seamless look when using just plywood. As far as bumping the vernier edges it takes a hard hit to make noticable damage and how often is someone taking something on and off a shelf.
One question about your reasoning for the 2 degree bevel on you rabbit. If you cut the joint at a perfect 90 degrees and have perfect contact between both materials, wouldn't that be a stronger glue joint than one with a gap? Not like it would matter much in this case but I don't really see the necessity.
awesome video bro! nicely done and worth the wait! Question for you.. why do you NOT recommend painters tape on the miter fold when using plywood? thanks for the awesome video, nice work!
I talk about it in the video description, but the quick version is that I don’t trust a thin plywood veneer corner. I have seen situations with post boxes made this way and the veneer peeling of after a few people brushed up against it. I’m not saying never do it, just be careful where you do it 👍
Great job! Looks beautiful. Thanks for the weight insight, that is one area I always tend to overthink and overengineer. You are absolutely right about how much strength is enough? I just have one niggle, what's with the Rockler crosscut sled? Why didn't you build your own. Just kidding! Nice project and nice design.
hi you did a great job and everything is explained nice and clear. I have a question to you, does it exists a way to avoid a miter joint and at same time to hide the front of a plywood? thanks
Nice project. Can you provide the name of the clamps you use on the minute 9.46? They look special, can you explain the use for these clamps? Thank you in advance
Great idea for the hardwood facing, but for my money I’ll use a steel Shepard brackets. $18/lnft and I’ve literally done chin ups off my floating shelves.
How much they can hold also depends on where the center of mass is acting. The shelf, when loaded, is experiencing a torsion that tends to push the front of the shelf down, rotating around the bottom of the shelf at the wall contact point. Torsion multiplies the tensile stresses in the side of the structural member opposite the direction of rotation, which is also opposite the direction of the force causing the torque. Any shelf will hold a higher loading if tha load is distributed towards the wall rather than to the front lip of the shelf. I think this is intuitive for most people involved in any kind of mechanical endeavor for any length of time. Anyway, this is for those out there who like to know the why of things like I do.
Please advise: when applying glue to the face of the wood to close minor defects, it changes the appearance when using stains or shellac. How do you manage that?
Great video and technique, building a set for a client right now. The big question I have is will the oak and the plywood finish the same? when staining with a color... say Dark Oak - does the plywood and oak match?
hi nice job mate! Do you choose even an angle lower than 45 degree when you miter the front panel? for a better glueing too? have a look at minutes 4 and 20 seconds of the video. Thanks
Thank you for this video. I'm going to use your design to build a long shelf over my bar. Looks like you used white Oak? Are your plywood panels 1/2" thick?
How's that sander/polisher working out for you? I've rubio'd with a few old sanders that were headed to the land of death and it definitely mucked up the machine. It looks like you're using it to both sand and oil with great results though.
That’s is an excellent idea! Titebond 3 would have been a better option, since it is not as yellow. But it mixes really well with the saw dust and I’ve never had an issue with seeing the glue color. Thank you for the awesome input!
One problem i have with these style floating shelves is how thick they are. Im favoring using dowles in the walls and a solid piece of lumber. I'll use threaded metal rods if i need something really beefy. I recommend only do this for permanent mounting.
It’s definitely a nice job, nicely done, but if I may say my two bits worth of an opinion as an amateur woodworker: isn’t the process a little too elaborated/complicated and requiring quite a lot of equipment, for something granting not exactly a game changer benefit? No mistake, it’s a nice work, but is it so much more effective than other options?
@@EverydayBuilds definitely understandable, and no offence meant; I admire your skills and the overall concept was interesting. Looking forward to seeing the next project

Yes, I put a couple pin nails along the back 👍
Nice work. Well done video as well. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
No problem 🤙 thank you!
@@EverydayBuilds And lightening fast responses to comments!! haha
@@DerekHauser-kw1bc ⚡️⚡️⚡️ of course!
Amazing build
Thank you!
One question about your reasoning for the 2 degree bevel on you rabbit. If you cut the joint at a perfect 90 degrees and have perfect contact between both materials, wouldn't that be a stronger glue joint than one with a gap? Not like it would matter much in this case but I don't really see the necessity.
It’s such a small bevel that I don’t think it weakens the bond by any means. It’s probably not totally necessary, but it worked great for me 👍
@@EverydayBuilds Either do I. Don't see any benefit of doing it though.
A great project well executed. Your attention to detail is great to watch.
Thank you 🙏
Heard “squish” when you folded those 45s together 🤣😂🤣
I had to 😂😂😂
awesome video bro! nicely done and worth the wait!
Question for you.. why do you NOT recommend painters tape on the miter fold when using plywood? thanks for the awesome video, nice work!
I talk about it in the video description, but the quick version is that I don’t trust a thin plywood veneer corner. I have seen situations with post boxes made this way and the veneer peeling of after a few people brushed up against it. I’m not saying never do it, just be careful where you do it 👍
@@EverydayBuilds makes total sense! Thanks for sharing!!
Looks Great! Where the wall brackets secured to the shelf with glue or anything or just pressure fit?
These ones were secured with 23 ga pin nails along the back 👍
Great level of precision.
Thanks!
Great job! Looks beautiful. Thanks for the weight insight, that is one area I always tend to overthink and overengineer. You are absolutely right about how much strength is enough? I just have one niggle, what's with the Rockler crosscut sled? Why didn't you build your own. Just kidding! Nice project and nice design.
Haha, it’s something I bought early on and it has definitely served its purpose. But it is on my list to build a better one 👍
hi you did a great job and everything is explained nice and clear. I have a question to you, does it exists a way to avoid a miter joint and at same time to hide the front of a plywood? thanks
Thank you! If you have exposed ends, I don’t see a way of doing it without a miter.
all of this impressive work only to hope that the site you are installing to is square... takes balls!
Luckily it was pretty square, but it could have trimmed them if it wasn’t 👍
@@EverydayBuilds haha very true! Enjoyed your video very much!
@@shanejohnson4546 thanks!
really nice work jordan!
Thanks AJ!
Your work is pristine. Very impressive!
Thank you!!!
This is a great project with some awesome results.
If i may ask, why don't you recommend miter joints with tape when joining plywood?
Thank you! It’s not that I don’t like doing miter joints with tape. What I don’t like is a thin plywood veneer corner. Very easy to damage.
What type of and what size plywood did you use? Excellent video! Easy to follow great detail!
White oak. Thank you!
@@EverydayBuilds Thank You! Love the channel
great intel. love the 2 deg bevel. any info on your dro for the dewalt planer, thanks mucho brother!
Thank you 🙏 It’s a Dixey DRO from Rockler. Works great! 👍
It’s kinda therapeutic watching your video.. 🥰
Good to hear 🤗
Beautiful shelves! Can I ask what type of buffing pad did you use?
Thank you! It’s a white scotch brite pad that I cut into a 5” circle 👍
Here's what I use amzn.to/3Ucr8wp
Nice project.
Can you provide the name of the clamps you use on the minute 9.46? They look special, can you explain the use for these clamps? Thank you in advance
They are called Bandy Clamps. You can get them here amzn.to/3GlRhmW
@@EverydayBuilds thanks buddy.
@@josecenteno1454 you’re welcome 👍
great work and video. thx. what type of mat are you using (I guess to prevent slipping?) thx
Thank you! It’s just drawer liner that you can get at any home improvement store 👍
Or here's a link to it on Amazon: amzn.to/3zvDiac
@@EverydayBuilds great. many thanks for your prompt reply and the information! will try one of these
Lol Nice.
I’ll continue to Tig weld all of mine and attach them directly into studs.
Nice build, though missed opportunity to employ a (glued-on) cleat at each end where shelves meet cabinet, for added support?
That is definitely an option 👍
Great idea for the hardwood facing, but for my money I’ll use a steel Shepard brackets. $18/lnft and I’ve literally done chin ups off my floating shelves.
Shepard brackets are great 🙌
How much they can hold also depends on where the center of mass is acting. The shelf, when loaded, is experiencing a torsion that tends to push the front of the shelf down, rotating around the bottom of the shelf at the wall contact point. Torsion multiplies the tensile stresses in the side of the structural member opposite the direction of rotation, which is also opposite the direction of the force causing the torque. Any shelf will hold a higher loading if tha load is distributed towards the wall rather than to the front lip of the shelf. I think this is intuitive for most people involved in any kind of mechanical endeavor for any length of time.
Anyway, this is for those out there who like to know the why of things like I do.
I'll take your word for it, lol
Dude!!! Your shop 🤯🤯
Haha, thanks! I love it!
nice job. can you provide a link for work apron.

Please advise: when applying glue to the face of the wood to close minor defects, it changes the appearance when using stains or shellac.
How do you manage that?
When using the method I showed here, I don’t not see any change in appearance 👍
Great video and technique, building a set for a client right now. The big question I have is will the oak and the plywood finish the same? when staining with a color... say Dark Oak - does the plywood and oak match?
Mine matched perfect, but it always depends on the wood 👍
hi nice job mate! Do you choose even an angle lower than 45 degree when you miter the front panel? for a better glueing too? have a look at minutes 4 and 20 seconds of the video. Thanks
I did not. In this case I wanted a perfect 45.
Nice work/ video, personally wouldn’t have fingers or hand that close to the blade (3:43 or so) . I like the 2 degree trick
Yeah, probably not the best idea. I will be using feather boards in the future 👍
gr8 work here, I am wondering if rubio monocoat changed the hue of the wood grain
Thank you! It all depends on which Rubio color you get. But they all change the hue or tone slightly.
thanks I just ordered a small bottle will see how it goes@@EverydayBuilds
@@alexandrastratanphotographer awesome! It’s the best 👍
Thank you for this video. I'm going to use your design to build a long shelf over my bar. Looks like you used white Oak? Are your plywood panels 1/2" thick?
Cool! Yes, 1/2” white oak plywood 👍 You can use 3/4” as well, you just have to adjust the rabbets.
How's that sander/polisher working out for you? I've rubio'd with a few old sanders that were headed to the land of death and it definitely mucked up the machine. It looks like you're using it to both sand and oil with great results though.
It’s worked great for me! Definitely better than buffing by hand, lol
send those sanders to the promised land! hahah
For filling in those small cracks, white glue is a little bit better choice because it dries translucent.
That’s is an excellent idea! Titebond 3 would have been a better option, since it is not as yellow. But it mixes really well with the saw dust and I’ve never had an issue with seeing the glue color. Thank you for the awesome input!
White glue is for vinyl and plastic/melamine
@@Theuniverseisstrange I am referring to white PVA, not melamine glue. PVA does not stick to plastic.
I like the 10° and 2° bevel idea 👌
Thank you 🙏
One problem i have with these style floating shelves is how thick they are. Im favoring using dowles in the walls and a solid piece of lumber. I'll use threaded metal rods if i need something really beefy. I recommend only do this for permanent mounting.
It's all personal preference. If you want a thin shelf, this would not be the best method.
It’s definitely a nice job, nicely done, but if I may say my two bits worth of an opinion as an amateur woodworker: isn’t the process a little too elaborated/complicated and requiring quite a lot of equipment, for something granting not exactly a game changer benefit? No mistake, it’s a nice work, but is it so much more effective than other options?
It’s a fair observation. My goal was to find the best way to make shelves without miter folding plywood. The extra effort is worth it for me 👍
@@EverydayBuilds definitely understandable, and no offence meant; I admire your skills and the overall concept was interesting. Looking forward to seeing the next project
@@hardstylelife5749 thanks, none takin 😁👍
clean, effective and looks great .. love it .. well done!
Thank you 🙏
Excellent job and I love you workshop, wish to have any close to that.
Thank you! I’m very fortunate to have it 😁
This looks hard!!!
It’s not too bad, lol 👍
very impressed dude..nice job!!!
Thank you 🙏
How were you able to determine the attachment locations of the brackets through the tile?
The cabinet mounting screws above the shelves. I used a laser line to trace them down 👍
