Yo, Much Luv @DIY Creators. Hey, those drywall anchors you used. Do you know of anything like that, that would make drilling in Wall Paneling stronger? I never see anyone post about flimsy old wall paneling, but in the south, that's all most old homes have?

Its more like $21 if you include the paint finish. Still awesome.

Thank you!

I agree. Will be making these.

I'm a beginner woodworker and I'm hooked! Have built an Adirondack chair and a French Bench so far and have been stunned and elated at what I apparently can do. Just found your channel, you describe everything so succinctly and explain your choices. Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@ellal.8116]

Painter's tape?! And here I was, always relying on another person to hold the other end of the tape measure.

[@DIYCreators]

lol Yep the simple things in life.

[@DDCRExposed]

I was dumbfounded at such a simple trick to help self-measure. I'll certainly be using this trick as well.

[@ptnmylove]

IM HAVING TROUBLE MEASURING MYSELF AS WELL, NOW I KNOW THE TRICKS LOL :D

[@serpzero]

yea, this was my biggest takeaway from the video! It's the little things...!

Blew my mind. Was just measuring some stuff last night and enlisted the wife and kids as royal tape holders.

[@ivanaproductions2716]

love the limited tools series! So everybody can build along 👌

Love the tip on matching up the key holes to the wall screws. Going to use that every time now.

[@bijouxw1014]

Yes, that is a great tip.

[@bmwart2008]

Bro your fucken beast. 3 Years late and i cant help to admire your craft with simple instructions.

You made it look so easy to make those shelves, the tutorial was great. I like the paint you used, rather than just black. Richer look. Lot's of good tips. Thank you

[@ChadDrakeTech]

Glad to see your channeling blowing lately Glen. It's about time with all the amazing work you've done brother.

Thanks Chad! It's been unreal to see the growth. I can't thank everyone enough for the support.

Love these shelves! I am doing my whole house in mid-century modern and these will fit right in. Love the paint and all the great tips!

[@kobelcofan]

I've been hooked on watching people build this style of shelf. I worked on my first one today. My miter saw died out of the blue today. I really wanted to cut miters, but at least I've got a cordless skillsaw. This rectangular shape just looks so cool.

[@SanDiegoRoyalty]

Excellent! Love the choice of paint.

[@peteporpora1630]

Don't know why I never thought of the scrap wood trick to space the mounting holes. Great tip!

[@AliAliToo]

Those are beautiful, and they look so easy to do. I really love the paint, too, I don't think I've ever seen any like that before. Thank you so much, you've given so many good hints. ( The painter's tape to hold the tape measure was awesome!!) Thank you, again!

[@Hangryaf]

For the love of holy crap you are amazing. Thank you for doing what very few people can do. Make a video that is perfect. It is a level 10 informative and a level 0 on "hey look at me try to be funny and cute". People like you are an endangered species on KZbin. Keep it up I'll watch every one you've got cause theres actually something to learn and it wastes non of my time. Glad I came across this stuff. Thank you.
