EASY DIY Custom Display Case Part 4 - Garage Shelf Build

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Need the hanging bracket for your shelf? I am going to be making hanging brackets for purchase. No worries about making it yourself. The rest will be in the hanging bracket kit. Kit is $60 with free shipping. (free shipping for CONUS only). Email me for details at [e-mail]

[@MrRatatouille]

does it include the acrylic as well?

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

This is only for the hanging brackets and includes t-brackets to attach either the wood shelf or the metal and acrylic one.

I am currently building my own display case using your "DIY Custom Display Case From Scratch" video as a reference. For this i have build 4 cases stacked on top of each other, using T6 Connecting strips to connect the cases together for better stability. I think once I am done with the case, after I used the case to display my figures for a while, I will consider building floating shelves like these . Thank you man for your awesome videos.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

That is awesome! I'd love to see them when you're finished. Thanks for watching and congrats on your build!

[@dailydrivendiecast]

Pretty sick dude! I don't collect figures but this works for so many other things.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thanks so much! The tutorials are definitely for all types of collectors. Thanks again for watching!

Another great video and excellent design Costa!!! Looks amazing!!! You da man, man!!!!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you so much my friend! I had to fix the original video so that it had the correct measurements but I did it. And I added some music and stuff. I'm digging it. Thank you for your continued support.

My journey of building one of these begins this week! Thank you for all these helpful videos !

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

That is awesome! I believe I told you you could reach out to me anytime you have any questions so don't hesitate to do that. Make sure you take lots of pictures. I'm going to want to check it out. And maybe put it on my live stream when I start them up again.

Love the tutorials for these shelves man, great content. I dont know why more people arent subscribed. Im going to share this with some of the 1/6 scale figure groups im in on Facebook. Keep up the good work

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you!

[@99problemstoysaint1]

Your enthusiam is a joy to watch and as a fellow toy collector i respect the whole project. But how many people could even buy all the correct supplies much less build these. Most of us cant put together pre-made ikea or target stuff. But your amazingly skilled at this & perhaps you should consider selling them. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you so much! You'd be surprised how many people have made this and the other cases. It's really not hard. I am selling the hanging brackets in a kit at the moment which can easily be paired with a wood board if you're looking for something nice and easy. Everything you need to add a wood shelf to your garage shelf display is in the kit except the wood. I also have a tutorial on how to make the wood board. It's super simple. Go to Lowe's, buy the board, have Lowe's cut the board and you paint it any color you want. Then use the kit to add it to your display. I am thinking about doing commissions. We'll see. Thank you again for watching!

Lmao!!! Screw!!!! We never grow up!! Great video! I need you as a neighbor to create these for me.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

No we won't. Lol. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!

[@jcolett444]

Love your videos. Very inspiring. I would be curious to see your wood shelf version for this. I took the plunge and plan to make it soon.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you so much! That's awesome! If you have any questions during your build, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. The wood shelf looks great and I think I may like it better than the aluminum one. It's also much cheaper and you can make it any color. I think it's more accessible. I'm also thinking about selling the hanging brackets, if there is enough interest. Thank you again for your support.

[@jcolett444]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom I am now really curious to see the wood shelf. Btw, I was considering felt to cover the boards, is it better to hot glue or staple that type of material? Oh, my son thinks you're hysterical. Loves your channel.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

For the fabric, I prefer stapling. If something happens to your shelf or you want to change the look, you can easily do it by removing the staples from the fabric. Tell your son he rocks!

[@jcolett444]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom Thanks for all the help!

[@Zorthal]

If you research extruded aluminum fittings, you'll find there are fittings that will allow you to cut the extrusions at a 45° mitre and then use L connectors on the inside.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thanks so much for watching! I like the idea.

[@johncuevas2323]

Love your idea on how to show your display. Have only one question? How much weight can the floating shelf hold? Cause I have premium format statues. Was thinking of doing that for my shelves. Just wanted to know since you made them. Great idea.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you so much! The shelves in the aluminum and acrylic can hold a considerable amount of weight. I have upgraded the t-brackets from 3" long to 5" long and they're a bit wider. Hoping to do an update video soon. I will see how it does with the couple premium format statues I have. Thanks again!

[@johncuevas2323]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom thanks for that info. Really like your videos. Continue doing what you’re doing. When I finally get done with renovations I’ll let you know how it comes out. 👍

[@Redshirtlifer]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom I'd appreciate it! Need to get the equipment and want to build a few more dios before possibly kicking off this venture 🙂

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Sounds great! The most important things to start are the lighting and microphone. You can easily use your cell phone for the video. And even the lighting in the microphone don't have the cost that much.

Where can I get some figure stands. I have all the Iron Maiden Eddie figurines. I'm getting ready to build this case. It's just what I'm looking for.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thanks so much for watching! What size are your iron maiden figures?

[@williamnelson9854]

8" figures

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

@@williamnelson9854 There are a few types of stands available on Amazon for 8" figures. Here are a few: amzn.to/45fb5Td amzn.to/3OHork9 amzn.to/44eUZrx Hope this helps!

[@Genrou138]

Care to give a rough estimate as to how much these 2 shelves cost to make? I'm just looking for an estimate so i can have all the funding before starting. I'm currently rennovating the room that i plan on building the display case for. I've had some large models for years that I've been waiting to display. These build videos were exactly what i needed.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thanks so much for watching! The cost of the shelves vary depending on where you live. The estimate is based on if you live in the U.S. The acrylic floating shelves are very expensive. Mainly because of the acrylic and aluminum. For wo shelves by themselves for the aluminum and acrylic and screws will cost approx. $160. Big reason for the cost is we're still recovering from the affects of covid and shipping costs are crazy right now. The hanging brackets and T Brackets will cost another $30+ for the materials. If you want to go a less expensive route, I have my wood floating shelves video. They look really good in the display. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

[@Genrou138]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom i did watch the wood shelf video, but I was just fascinated with the build of the acrylic ones. It gives me similar vibes to playing with erector sets as a kid, and that got me super excited!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

@@Genrou138 I know what you mean. Are you U.S. based? If so, I have a US based company for the aluminum. They are a recent find.

[@Genrou138]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom yeah. I live in Eastern Pennsylvania

[@Genrou138]

Can you let me know the name of the company? I'm finally at the phase of my remodel that I can actually start on my display case build

[@robertonline6543]

Dude ...I don't know whether to hug you or strangle you...I took the plunge because of you. I really hope you do an easier video for us dumb ppl who totally suck at math and Don't have all these tools ...way too many steps .

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Lol. I would prefer hug. Thank you so much for watching! What's funny is that I didn't have all these tools before I started making these shelves myself. I do have another floating shelf video coming out hopefully later this week and it is using a wood board instead of the aluminum and acrylic. It will be easier and I'm personally liking it better. If there's enough interest, I may do a batch of the hanging brackets. It'll come with everything you need to hang an aluminum shelf or the wood shelf.

[@robertonline6543]

@PopCultureLivingRoom hate saying this but I go blank when math thrown my way...math to me is like telling a joke that you understand 3 hrs later so I'm hoping you're next video is alittle easier to understand for us math dummies...I finally got my shelves today...so far so good...the ad says can hold 300 lbs but the wire mesh feels like it'll break in half so don't know how anything heavy will hold? Trying to make all black... what were those black sheets 🤔 you mentioned in your earlier 🤔 videos? I have one of those black storage shelves, it says use a rubber mallet and put pegs into the frame....weird....all new and alittle scary for us who are afraid it will look crappy but hopefully comes out as we dream.
