If your new to woodworking with little to no tool check out my "Limited Tools Videos (For beginners)" bit.ly/1PtWJEd
Thanks for a great video!!! As a DIY'er with limited tools, I feel I can tackle this with no problem thanks to your instructions!
Straight to the point. I like it. I hate it when guys record themselves talking for 10+ minute. Lol
Smash that like button and subscribe, and then do the thing with the bell. Hey guys what's up before we get started I wanna take about 5 minutes to talk about a sponsor
I have to agree. Super engaging
Man, great job! I agree with the other comments here. You are straight to the point. Breath of fresh air. Thanks Bro! I WILL be doing these in my Den to display my NASCAR collection after I finish the ship lap board walls, and of course my Bar😂 I was specifically looking for this for shelving as I do not want brackets on my ship lap, and want a clean look while maximizing wall space
simple, elegant, beautiful, adaptable and practical. Great job. You don't see too many videos with check marks in all those "boxes". Thank you.
Very impressive shelves. Low cost and look great.
I want to say...this looks awesome and I think I can actually do this.
That’s a very elegant and simple way to do it. Thanks!
thank you! very creative way to make floating shelves
Well done and so easy to do! Thank you for making this video demonstration.
nice! yeah great watching dudes do stuff on youtube. thanks for showing us your skills.
Love it, you are giving me motivation to try it. Have access to any electric tool and this looks like fun project that wife would love 👍
Love your explanation! Im a total novice, and want to ensure these shelves a strong enough to hold books etc. You said the screw in wall anchor is rated for 50lbs....how about the dowels? Is that a potential weak point?
Great idea. I need a 2X10X23 shelf, would it work with your instructions? Thanks
Great instruction! Thanks for the video.
Thank you, just the video I needed.
Great video, thank you. I’ll use that technique
And yay I subscribed halfway through the vid, 🙌
Fantastic video
What product would u recommend to protect the wood but still keep the original colour?
I wonder how much weight can it hold
Is the safety screw hitting a dowel ?
Amazing
Wow. ❤ it.
You sir, know how to make a UA-cam video! No unnecessary flashiness and excellent visuals. I wish more people would make videos like you do. Very pleasant voice to listen to as well. Oh, and great shelves too!
You just read my mind
Agreed!
Yup
Not sure if this exist, but this video is deserving of an UA-cam academy award!
^what he said
Tremendous! This really is a "help others do it" video, more than a "look what I did" video. Great job!
It's been a looooong time since I heard a black man on UA-cam who wasn't talking about racizm/TYT/Wakanda.
Thank f***
@@FirstLast-cf4mi Can people just do something without race being any sort of factor. FFS. I dont care if it nice or not, this video is about shelves. Just watch the video, thumbs up or down, then leave. Not a hard concept.
So many awesome ideas and techniques that you teach.
no shit thats what its supposed to be
@@FirstLast-cf4mi great job on stereotyping black males.. Ohh the irony of your comment. It's as if a black man who isn't racist, raps, or is ghetto is a rare endangered species..
Looks like this guy is appropriating white culture by being into woodworking right?
Hold up , I’m
About to teach my husband I won’t be needing his help anymore 😂
Good for you. Although I would teach him what you know so he can help.
Me before watching video: These are so simple and elegant. I can do this!
Me after watching video: Oh, you need tools nvm.
Lmaoo same 🙊
Same
Hahaha, yeah! Those are beautiful!
Hey,well tools are a great investment. If you have your own tools if something breaks all you need is the tools and internet.
The tools required for this can be gotten for around as much as you’d pay for the shelves, Pre-made. BUT, you can use the tools for further projects :)
Realistically all the tools you need is a drill and drill bits. You can hand sand it, and have it cut by the store, or spend $30 on a circular saw :) definitelyblook into a cheap drill and circular saw. You could prob find at a garage sale for cheap, too! Heck Facebook garage sale sites. They sell for next to nothing at garage sales and things bc people don’t typically go there for tools
If you are wondering how much weight these shelves can hold, don't bother looking through the comments. Just went digging and there is literally over 200 comments asking about the weight and he never answered a single one of them.
literally what i wanted to know! lol
It depends on the dowel thickness and Wood type. I'd guess this shelf could hold 50 or so lbs
Those are not for heavy loads for sure, only for decoration.
N I put my microwave oven on a floating shelve
The dowels are probably fine as long as the joints are nice and tight, so it probably would mostly rely on your screws.
You are awesome! You make everything so doable and make the average person feel like there is nothing we can't accomplish. Great Teacher!
You just dropped about 5 tips I've never heard of in the process of explaining. This is good stuff.
Right?! Me too!!!
Completely agree! Mine didn’t turn out “perfect”, but that was more due to the lumber, definitely not due to the instructions!
One thing that I would recommend is to do the process as the video shows: In the SAME order! I did the cuts as well as all of the drilling, countersink, safety pilot holes, etc. at one time as well as sanding the dowels. I did this because I knew that I was having back surgery in the next few days and I wanted everything to be ready to go when I felt like finally hanging the shelves...
I had to go back and re-do a bunch of things due to this...(again- totally MY fault 100%). But the biggest pain was that I didn’t sand down the dowels enough...”lightly sanding” them was NOT what I considered lightly! Took way more sanding than I would have thought to get the actual shelves to easily slide on and off! So, if you decide not to do in order of the video/instructions...be forewarned!
Omg seriously…I never would have thought to put a dowel in a drill to sand it!! 😮
Yèra
Yes, I agree!
Sir, you are extremely good at explaining. Thank you for this incredible how to video. Good day!
me before video: ya know there must be a cheaper way than buying these shelves
me after watching the video: looks like that amazon price is completely justified
Cheaper they are like 10 dollars a shelf how cheap do you want
Brandon it ain't worth hours of my time to do all this work for multiple shelves
😂😂😂 meee
Stop supporting Amazon, didn't you see the news. They don't even let their employees take a piss. Many employees have to wear diapers. Why Should humans live like this so corporations can Thrive? Go to Goodwill
@@jennlemmelin443 I don't know about the diapers and all that, but yes, amazon has poor working conditions. However, it is pretty obvious that the commenter was making a joke.
Dude... You're a genius. You just taught me at least 3 game changing techniques. Sanding dowels with a drill, using a speed square with a circular saw, and of course the method of making floating shelves without expensive hardware. Thank you! Awesome work!
Jake Truncali check out these floating shelves with epoxy ua-cam.com/video/Jg0DpD2gjTo/v-deo.html
Yeah, I found those same three things Jake. So glad I watched this. Using a circular saw is so much easier than getting out the bench saw. The speed square makes it way more precise.
Speed square with the circular saw blew my mind.
Fantastic!!
Chances are your circle saw came with a jig that does pretty close to what he did here.
This is handy and quick in a pinch though
very clever: particularly liked tip about sanding down dowel by putting it in drill!
W. David Stephenson Me too!
Thanks to your video, I was able to put a hanging shelf in my bathroom. I'm certainly not a carpenter, but it looks like a carpenter did the work. You rock!
Now that's how to make a DIY video! Precise and to the point with fantastic and clever ideas on how to make the shelves. My wife has been wanting me to make floating shelves for her for a long time and now I know how to. Thanks so much for posting this video.
My wife wants me to add a couple floating shelves in her kitchen. So, as most diyers might do, I went straight to UA-cam and lo and behold I found your video. Research complete. I will be using your simple and clearly explained process to gain some brownie points this weekend. Thanks.
Eltee954 did these hold up well in the kitchen? I'm thinking about doing the same thing in my kitchen.
are you an idiot Valiant Woman
@eltee.. how did it go?
Valiant Woman hb
this is so sweet
Why are people complaining about needing tools? You need a drill, a saw and a screwdriver. If you don't have those, why on earth are you looking at installing shelving?
Anyway, thanks for the tip - I'd been trying to figure out a clean way to hide a retaining screw, and I like your idea of screwing into one of the dowels.
It's like people expect everthing to be done for the them.....whats the name of the channel again?
Word
Lol!!! Right!?
You also need a bit to countersink the screws. And either a stud finder or some molly bolts. Orbital sander not required, but highly recommended if you're going to stain... and it's also useful for rounding the edges.
EXACTLY
You just be throwing that word "easy" around huh. The lies, the betrayal. I'm over here in tears. I really dont need shelves that bad. I have decided lol
Lol
Hahah I agree. I was like, this is not easy. 😂
Is not that bad lol
home depot give you two cuts for free...+$1.00 for each add. cut. way easier to have them cut it
it’s not that bad lmao
maybe for the below average person who doesn’t normally build things then it’s like.. well why’d you bother searching how to BUILD your own shelf? ya know
Seriously you guys who don’t own tools, go buy a $10 hand saw and a $20 used drill. I own some really good tools but there are so many ways to build something. No one goes out and buys a woodshops worth of tools in one outing, you slowly build a collection over many years. The tools you buy for this project will come in handy in the future, plus you’ll get a better shelf and pride in your work
Some people should not own tools
You'll spend more on the tools than what the project's worth lol
Harbor Freight has really great prices if you only need one or two of these tools. I bought an amazing 5” orbital sander for $26. Once you buy it, you can tackle so many projects. Same thing goes for their drills, bits, clamps, etc. You might spend $100-$150 on tools but then never need to purchase them again (or at least not for a long time).
Blows my mind people complaining about tools... in my household I grew up watching both my parents tackle everything they could by themselves and as soon as I moved out have a basic set of tools was on my list because you obviously will need them soon or later for your furniture. Seriously if you watch a DIY video and don't expect tools to be involved you better watch those craft ones for 10yo that put hot glue on everything. lol
"....No one goes out and buys a woodshops worth of tools in one outing....." My credit card statements every time I come back from Home Depot might make you think otherwise. lol
Love how you narrowed the dowel using sandpaper and the drill!
Absolutely great tutorial.
Thank you, sir!
YES! YES YES YES! Perfect video. Give this guy his own TV SHOW.
I'd love a TV show from this guy
Plus, I just like listening to him talk, lol.
this is genius....HGTV needs him.
@@BrandonVMoore1 Ok I thought it was just me... is it Jamaican undertone? It sounds like he's either trying to cover it up or it's fading :/
You have a tv show - right here on UA-cam!
Went out yesterday and bought lumber and dowels to make 6 of these shelves. Great idea and only cost $57 for three 32" and three 15" shelves.
How'd it go?
How much weight can these hold
I love how I didn't have to watch 3 minutes of intro before you got right into it. Also that sanding trick was terrific!
Idk if you really did just get married but Congratulations!!!

Would these hold a tv? I feel dumb asking. I haven't yet fully watched the video
@@sharkbaaiittt It really depends on the size and weight. How much do you trust the wooden dowels?
Brilliant stuff! I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to hang some floating shelves and came up with a few ideas, but then found this video and it’s way better than anything I came up with. Definitely going to be using this method. Thanks for sharing!
Love these!!! And the way you explain and move through each step makes this feel soooo much less daunting to other DIYers 🤪 Can’t wait to make my own, thank you!!!
If you don't have a stud finder, don't use that wall anchor. Get a stud finder.
You can download a stud finder app on your phone.
You can also use your fist to find a stud also.. that's what me and my husband do.
@@kimberlyreece8829 I do this too but my wife gets sick of having to patch fist sized drywall holes all the time
What happened to tapping and listening for the dead sound of a stud behind the rock?
Floating shelves are a design aesthetic and are not meant to support hundreds of pounds. Thus, these floating shelves will be just fine with a pair of good wall anchors.
With that being said, it's easier to fill screw holes than anchor holes so I'll usually find a stud for my applications.
Would not have thought to do it that way, that’s genius!
Listen I have been stressing *FOR DAYS* trying to learn how to install shelves. This was a BREEZE! And you make it absolutely crisp, clear, and cleanly executed. Thanks so much! Keep posting
Inventive way to do those shelves, cool 👍
Thank you
@@DIYCreators how do you manage to prevent sagging? I built these and because of the two pieces of lumber being separate I find it’s sagging on me. Please help!
Tried this DIY video and same issue with wobbling and sagging. I even installed screws in studs instead of drywall so that shelve would be more sturdy, but still same issue.
This shelve seems easy in video, but video nowhere shows that two screws on horizontal axis actually are not capable of preventing sagging and wobbling on vertical axis.
This shelve is decorative at best and can't hold anything heavier than toilet paper.
Will be going to home depot tomorrow to get right angle bracket. So total bill turned out to be ~$100 for 3 shelves. I totally regret cutting the board in two parts as brackets don't need that.
@@zofla90 I'm building some right now but I'm using a longer dowel!!
@@ATVERKING13 did the longer dowel work for you
Have been researching various ways to build floating shelves and this tutorial is the best one found. Great tutorial with clear detailed instructions 🏆
You inspired me to do it! I watched this when it first came out and everything was way over my head. After doing more projects and studying, I watched this again -- and I realize that I CAN do it!

Awesome video with clear instruction! Thank you so much.
Just wondering how much weight you think those shelves can take if secured to the stud or using appropriate anchors?
I had the same question
Anchors will tell you in the specs how much weight they can sustain.
Oh, one tip: To cut the stock lengthwise, you could clamp on a 1" x 6" as a guide or maybe a long piece of aluminum. 4:57
Well the 1x6 would work for his saw but I'm sure not all circ saws are 1 1/2" from the blade to the outside of the metal base.
Glen, that’s brilliant mate.
Thanks Dave!

My daughter was just asking for floating shelves. Your method looks great. She wanted 2 x 10 material. I have it trimmed to size, drilled, ripped, dowels sanded and am calling it a night. Sanding, a little router on the front edge, then stain and put some poly on. Thanks for the excellent video.
I am needing a 2X10X23. Did you follow the same steps? How did they turned out?
Nice work, young man. I particularly like the drill and rip method: It resolves any accuracy problems introduced by the hand held drill. Well done!
I've always wanted to create floating shelves but never knew a great way of doing it. THIS IS GENIUS!!! Thank you for the idea to create my own

Hey! How did it go?
copy and pasted from a previous comment... ^^
Daniel Oliver Margrie - uhh what?
I have looked at several different methods of floating shelf installation here on UA-cam. I have to say I like your method the best so far. Good job!
This is brilliant! I have all of this crap just sitting in my basement! No need to even buy anything. Perfect “cheap” and nice looking method.
This is probably the least expensive and yet durable diy floating shelves tutorial I have seen yet! Thanks for the video!
Hi friends, if you intend on using the saw yourself please do NOT use gloves when sawing... Gloves are prone to getting caught in the blade and dragging your fingers and hand into the blade... So go ahead and saw like the gentleman did in the video, just go slow and be careful and do it without gloves
This is counterintuitive, but it is safer not to use gloves when using rotative Power tools. Good reminder.
Yaaaaaa...my pointer finger is still healing from a nasty, gruesome cut as the saw DID pull my glove into it. I thought for sure I lost my finger at the knuckle, but I didn't. It's going to be healing and tender for a loooooong time. Funny thing is, just about 2 minutes into the first use of my new table saw I was pondering if gloves would be a hazard...Um, Experiment over.
I was wondering why my DT teacher would never wear gloves doing this
Excellent tip.
I actually knew a guy in high school that had two of his fingers taken off cause he wore gloves with a wood chipper.
Funny thing is, he drew better than I could
OMFG - use the speed square as a guide... that just blew my mind! So simple and obvious yet this is the first time I've ever considered doing that. I now feel stupid for years of avoiding my circular saw due to my exceptional ability to not cut a straight line. I know it was just an off-hand thought for you, but thanks anyway you just changed my shop life.
K A you are not alone. I had the same thought when I saw him do that!
MILLION DOLLAR IDEA! Seriously...Brilliant!
That was an amazing time to me as well
There is nothing exceptional about your ability to not cut a straight line!!
He can do what he wants jackass.
This is awesome man. I'll definitely use this technique. Now I wanna make some floating shelves.
Thank you
These are beautiful. I love your simple approach without fancy hardware. Very nice.
Thanks Anna
Thank you for sharing this tutorial! I'm just getting into woodworking and this project helped me work out how to make a floating shelf/key hanger I've been wanting to make for ages :D
Wow! Brilliant easy directions with so many tips for people who don’t have all the fancy expensive equipment (inc me). BIG Thank you 😊👍👍
Definitely a new take on the floating shelf. Only thing I would do differently is add a washer to the screws going into the wall. This would add more surface area for security of the mounting wood.
Great job, keep it up
Chris Bourassa add a washer ur creating a depth away from the shelf even though minimal
The washer goes between the bolt head and the wood adding more contact area for added security of the bolt face
@@qzwxecrv0192837465 Nah, he used screws with a built in "washer", see: ua-cam.com/video/wki3wMAbtLg/v-deo.html They looks a lot like the Kreg washer head maxi-loc screws.
I'm using a low profile anchor bolt. They work great and you wont need to worry about the washer.
How can over 1k people give it a thumbs down? He does an AWESOME job. What's not to like?
His skin... It's a great video! F those haters
I have heard before that there are bots trawling youtube giving thumbs down at random for some unknown reason. Not sure if it's true or not.

@@floridaman2146
Please look up the definition of race baiting.
As you clearly have not, and sound like a complete idiot.
I guess they thought he was going to show them how to hang a floating shelf with gorilla tape, lol.
EXACTLY the video I needed!! Clear, simple, easily to follow!! Now I can make custom-length floating shelves with the scrap wood I already have!! Thank you so much for creating this!
Amazing low tech solution, great walk through on how to do it. Great content dude!
How much weight can these shelves hold?
Following. Excellent video!
I would like to know how much weight they can hold too. Hoping to make bookshelves that can hold
To increase the weight limit slightly, add more dowels, and place the screw into your studs 2/3 or even 3/4 towards the top of the bracket (not in the centre as he did in this video). Caution!!! Make sure you drill guide holes and straight ones. The closer you get to the edge, the more likely you are to split the wood.
The logic on the strength by screw placement.., and any other engineer types feel free to argue, but!
The lower your screw in the bracket, the more prone it will be too bending. You have less distance from the screw to the bottom of the bracket to resist the bending moment applied to the screw.
If you have it higher, I'm pretty sure you decrease the bending moment on the screw, and the wood would pull on the screw instead of bending it... If that makes any sense ...
I’m late to the party but love this video and your content over all. It’s great to see a project, with accessible tools that the average person may own. Fantastic video , really clear instructions (even for those of us that don’t use the imperial system), thank you
I know Rigbt!! He should receive a UA-cam AWARD
I always asked my self "how do they stick this damn thing on the wall??? "
DiY:now ye know
Yeah, very nice work, but it’s a little too involved. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a woodworker and appreciate the elegance of your solution. However, I just watched another video where the shelves were installed with threaded rods that were just pounded into the studs and the shelf onto the rods. It was strong enough for the guy to jump on the shelf. All that method requires is a drill and a hammer for installation. Not nearly as elegant, but sooo much easier. Might cost a few more pennies, but I’ll take it. Again, very nice job!
This video had me when I saw the Pittsburgh level! This will be this weekend's project. Thanks!
Considering most shelves hold a few nicknacks or photos and most floating wall shelf kits look like they are designed to hold Uncle Ralph after a Holiday party, I like the simplicity of this design, especially because I don't have to special order any parts.
Love the idea. I modified one of your steps. Instead of having to do all of the sanding, I drilled the 1/2” hole like you showed and then cut the board. I then used a 9/16” drill bit on the large part of the board. Made it easy to slip the dowels into it. Thanks for the video!
Good idea! I’m going to try it that way too!
nice video. how would you handle floating shelves in a 4'x5' opening in a wall??? so the shelves would be accessible from either side. i would be very interested.
Thank you! Best DIY video I've come across. I feel like I can actually do this as a starter project to boost my lack of confidence. Thank you very very much.
Wtf I was literally telling somebody I wanted to make shelves like these the other day and now it’s in my recommended wtf #googleisalwayslistening
Byte Nebula I was telling my sister the same today and this popped up, #Applealwayslistening
Your device listen to everything said around it then recommends accordingly
I don't have the tools but I will find a way! 😂 👍🏾 New sub!
This is genius! I think I can do this! The shelf I want from pottery barn is $345 a piece. I could probably do the whole thing for less than $45, I just want one shelf.
I wasn't sure where you were going with it when you drilled the hole for the dowel the same depth as the dowel, until you ripped it down. Neat idea, and it seems like it works quite well!
Chris Albee - same! I was confused until the ripping step!
That's exactly what I was thinking too. Which is why drilling to full depth of the dowels threw me off lol
Nice work we can chat more and get to know each other we can also discuss other things. I'm Sandy. Write me joyfulluv81@gmail
Hope to hear from you soon
I️ love your channel!! Your work is amazing. You should have your own website and sell this. I️ would totally buy them!!
Man, I never comment on videos but I've gotta give it up to you! You covered every base and this is a genius tutorial! Thanks!!!
What type of anchors to use when there is no studs to mount the floating shelves to.
I don’t even have the tools for this but this is awesome
Yeah, I was thinking....how do you cut something lengthwise with a handsaw...oh well.
I really wanna try this in my bathroom with differing lengths, how much weight can these support?
They turned out nice bro...i like how u used the circ to show how easily it can be done..good stuiff as always bro.
Thanks bro! it's always good to mix it up.

HEY JOE!
This is, like, the GOAT tutorial for anything I've ever seen on UA-cam. No fuss, clear and easy to follow instructions presented in a perfect speed and tone. Any tutorial should model themselves after this video.
very clever: particularly liked tip about sanding down dowel by putting it in drill! 5:45
I have to agree with that guy about your video, you make it very clear and easy to understand 👍 great job and you just made it easy for job I have to do in my wife's craft room. Thanks
Wife has been trying to find "doable" floating shelves and these were them. I ended up doing screws into all three dowels because i ended up with a small gap where I made the rip cuts. I'd suggest wood gluing the dowels into the small piece against the wall, too. As a beginner, DIY'er I appreciate the video and look forward to more
I don't understand why to put the screws in the dowels. Just to stain it? But then you take them out when you mount the shelf?
Jessica MacMurtrie to hold the shelf in place once mounted. With woodworking, oftentimes you do a lot of construct/deconstruct before you have your final product. In this case, you want to have all holes drilled before you stain/varnish.
@@suzannereed6645 Right. Thanks! I get it now, he just didn't really talk about putting a screw in the dowel, then removing it when hanging it up, then replacing it after the shelf is up. And since this was my first woodworking project, I was confused at first, but it makes sense.
Beware Iif you choose to glue...if the dowels don't align perfectly straight you will have a hell of a time getting the shelf back together.
It’s definitely nice seeing a black man doing woodwork projects like these. This is exactly what I needed. Soo simple and easy to follow. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yeah I also appreciate it when the builders I’m watching are black. Makes a much better video. ???? Is there some stereotype that white guys have worse vids or something? I’m genuinely confused.

Beautiful! You have a lot of great time saving tricks (especially like the scrap of wood to use for accurate spacing)and nice tools... I need to go ahead and purchase some drill bits...I have always just used different sized screws and wall anchors...lol, so sad...
