Sheppard Brackets/Router Guide/Drill Guide
Router bit (Rockler)
Dewalt (pretty much everything else lol)
Let us know in the comments if you want to see us mill up any specific species with our WoodMizer LT40 Wide!!
It's what I used to float my mantel above the fireplace! If you have a mill or a metal bit you could recess the tulip screw hole that allows the router to go over the screws to make the cabinet screw recess into the metal so you can run the router over the entire space w/o risking it jumping.
Yeah that would be the one thing that could make the router guide much better, I may have to look into bringing my guides to a machinist
Excellent video. Just received my Sheppard brackets and mounting kit today.
Awesome I hope it helps!
Thanks for sharing I’ve done so many shelves free hand. This is a great time saver as well as no worry holes
No problem! I’ve done shelves free hand, welded my own brackets and even used wooden dowels to make floating shelves. The time you save by using these brackets in my opinion is well worth it.
We have a cubbyhole in our family room, I did some shelves years ago with cleats. We want something nicer, I went with the same brackets. I took a scrape 2x4 and practiced doing the , pilot holes and router, before I tried on an expensive piece of wood. I found really easy to do, also mounting on the wall and sliding the boards on was not too difficult. I do need to mention the walls pitch inward on the front the back is about 1/4 inch wider.
Waiting for my Rubio’s to finish and call it done.
I agree, it has been the easiest process for me. I’ve made my own in similar style to the Sheppard brackets, as well as even a wood dowel style one. I’ve also tried the hovr brand style but couldn’t use them because your shelf has to be no less than 2” thick. These are by far the best quality and easiest brackets by far out of everything I’ve used.
Counter sink the router template screws so they don't get in the way.
I definitely need to do that! Thanks
Is it OK to use a 47" bracket for shelves that are 7' long, as long as it is centered in the shelf?
I always use the maximum length bracket I can for the length of the shelves I’m making. I could imagine it being fine though. But I’d definitely just check with Sheppard brackets to see what they say. I believe they have weight ratings on there website.
Great video, thanks!
Would you use cabinet screws to attach the bracket to the wall? The ability to make small adjustments moving the bracket using cabinet screws seems like it would be super helpful. The extra clamping force that the cabinet screw heads seem like they'd be a good choice too to really "hang on" to the bracket holes.
What do you think?
I know I love the cabinet screws for being able to make fine adjustments that may be something I should try next time I do some floating shelves
@@LuckyNelsonsSawmill I ended up using cabinet screws to secure the brackets to the studs and it worked phenomenally for me!
Do you put epoxy or glue in the holes or is friction enough to hold it?
No epoxy. Friction usually holds it plenty. If needed I might do a couple wraps of painters tape on the rods.
