How To Build DIY Floating Shelf with Invisible Hardware

[@WigManPhil]

I love that you specifically mention only needing 3 basic tools, then use about 20 specialty tools and jigs....

[@user-ng5bw8bt4f]

Absolutely right, it's not a fair game for beginners

[@Warrenmitchum]

Yup

[@UniqueTechnique29]

I was thinking the exact same thing. This isn’t a beginner video by any means.

[@Fisher.armstrong]

Just because he chooses to elevate the project with other tools doesn’t mean you can’t do it with the 3 tools, as well as he had to size rough lumber which takes specialty tools that you wouldn’t need. Don’t let people having access to more tools then you make you think it’s not a beginner project

[@mohammedumarshaikh2707]

@@Fisher.armstrong I think we can buy sized lumber from lumber shop.

[@figueredoruley8050]

It's good to see the woodprx has new Instructions to save my money and energy to build it.

This was the most aesthetically pleasing build I think I have ever seen. So simple but SOOOO satisfying.

[@ionatanstrateanu2347]

It’s not about the “expensive tools” it’s being creative, doing a craft you enjoy and have a passion for. These excuses of not having his equipment is lame. Yes, those tools make the job 4x fast and better but this can be done with simple tools as well. All you need is the courage to get started.

[@animesloversunited9069]

- And a video with that tools

[@eiloccorb2797]

Why did this show up when I searched for CHEAP DIY floating shelves....lol wow

[@qtwind]

i guess i am a carpenter in my past life because i am always inspired to do one like the ones you always build, i just don't have the tools because they are very costly here in my place... you got one subbie here in the Philppines... keep doing videos like this... two thumbs up!

[@karinsmith6513]

my girlfriends dad told me about WoodVan.xyz he was showing me few plans in there for a new deck, they had tons of projects

[@mariovanholle7775]

Better to buy already made shelfs ...and just hang them coz this is easy when u have the tools for free right ..it might cost u a little more but saves u alot of hassle

[@ScreenPrintR]

Thank you for explaining how to make them with hand power tools like a Circular Saw and the type of wood to buy that's already has a straight edge. I have a Circular saw, router, drill, sander, and a pocket jig. I love to see someone like yourself make a video with these types of tools. I've also have been looking at Craigslist for used tools. Thank you again, and everyone else reading this, don't get discouraged. If you're serious about wood working, take a loan to buy the tools you need. At that point you jump right in to a serious business, and have to push yourself to succeed.You wear all hats in the business. I did this with screen printing and had to learn to sell. Started with friends, family and church.

[@Rangertomcat97]

It would be cool to see a wall covered in those especially if they were all made of varying woods

[@craftedworkshop]

Yup, that's what my eye doctor has on their wall, that's where I got this idea!

[@pucksheet4456]

I'm expecting the equipment used woodsaw hammer drill (cheap drill is available) but still i like the video can still explain the basic of making this shelves you just have to adapt it on your available tools

[@mattylight5051]

Man I wish I could do this for a living. Just got into woodworking and it makes me wanna build everything I see

[@TGP.Productions]

I lucky, I have woodshop at my school and we are doing custom projects and the school provides everything! So I'm definitely going to be making some of these

[@VideoDeadGaming]

You'd hope someone with all that gear wouldn't need a tutorial like this

[@TLOH7]

I like this a lot. This is like Lego but on the next level.

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, I could definitely see that!

[@kathyb-007]

Simple for you maybe, lol. I've never seen those shelf supports before. Cool!

[@jarnbjorn4522]

wow i didn't think woodwork can be cool, but this is actually very productive.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@LuisGutierrez-ks2uh]

This should be rename as diy if you have a woodshop

[@BIGSNAKE16]

The mounting brackets don't let the shelf fit tight to the wall. I've built floating shelves years ago for my sister's football knick knacks using 1x6's and just screwed them to the wall (@ the studs) using finish screws. The shelves are still "floating" to this day. It's been about 10 years.

[@G5rry]

My first thought too. With all those tools, he could have chiseled a recess for the bracket so the shelf would fit against the wall (and hide the hardware).

[@shiranifrances915]

U are v methodical n precise also teaching from your heart A good guy May god bless u like to try

[@WorkingTimbersCo]

I just did a floating shelf build this past week, just 1 shelf, basically a box made from reclaimed oak, turned out great!

[@craftedworkshop]

+WoodShaped nice!

[@alicia_737]

Trying to learn woodworking as a hobby via the internet is absolute torture when you're broke. I'm thinking "Hmm, well a box is usually a good project for beginners. This has no top or bottom or hinges... Should be even more simple, right?" I know we don't NEED badass industrial-grade equipment like this guy has, but it's kind of discouraging to watch. For a broke beginner, I was proud of my little workshop. This makes me want to go to IKEA... Or take 4 planks with some wood glue & clamps and call it a freaking day.

[@Whiskeywoodcreations]

Man these turned out nice, love the maple. All about the minimal vibe.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Whiskey Wood Creations thanks!

[@irvinmartin4936]

[@lukethompson823]

I finally got ahold of waterlocks and it really is great it is probably the best sealer I've ever used I highly recommend this

Nice, glad you're liking it!

[@andrewdavies1312]

Same.

[@dafiffacts561]

Nice video

[@joshuac1364]

great, simple project. projects like this keep encouraging me to take the plunge on investing in a planer. Working with rough lumber looks really rewarding

[@craftedworkshop]

It is super rewarding, definitely a major turning point in the woodworking experience. Even an inexpensive planer is well worth the investment. That, paired with a table saw, will allow you to build almost anything.

[@beyondlimitsproductions1468]

God ...I wish I had access to all that beautiful wood.!!!! I'd be in the workshop indefinitely.

[@shazkharadi3889]

[@dgperforms1]

I’ve used those support bracket, except, I trace the mounting bracket on the drywall, used a multi-tool and cut out the drywall “plug”, mounted the support directly to the stud. Not only is it stronger, but, the shelf will fit perfectly flush against the wall and not stick out a bit due to the shelf sitting against the square mount instead of against the wall

[@abdelgaderalfallah]

I love it. Nowadays, I'm thinking about doing it as hobbie I just need some stuffs from the store then I'll get on it.

I'm not in any way affiliated with Rockler, I just love their stuff.

Hi j

[@unbekanntunbekant4587]

Its nice simple cheap and even good

[@mikearchibald744]

If you don't think you are going to move the shelves, or don't mind repairing drywall, just drill a dowel hole in the back, make the shelf size the width of two studs, drill holes into the studs, stick the dowel on. Then you can make the whole thing with just a saw and glue.

[@doubledarefan]

Should have cut mortises in the back to fit over the rectangular steel parts, and fit tight against the wall.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Double Dare Fan yup, totally forgot to do that before finishing.

[@terrytytula]

It should be, building a floating shelf, with 5,000.00 dollars of equipment

Yea he said only using a drill, circular saw and a jig lol

haha I was thinking the same thing...ahh the power of youtube money.

[@leeramsden4242]

He pretty clearly said you should buy S4S lumber if you dont have access to milling machines

[@darr303]

If you have that much machinery and equipment, is it still classed as diy? This should be called pro carpenter makes floating shelves that you'll never make.

[@SamRaimi34]

Agreed. IMO, DIY should max require a circular saw and a drill

[@raywilliams7094]

Like the finished shelves. Haven't seen the metal mounting pins in South Africa. Will have to make some up or modify the design.

[@craftedworkshop]

Yea, you could do something similar with all-thread, you could drive it into the studs by locking two nuts together and using them to turn the all-thread. It would leave a bigger hole, but it'd be cheaper and stronger.

[@raywilliams7094]

Thank you.... that was a quick and useful response

[@DIYFixMan]

Well done dude, you have golden hands and will continue to make interesting videos

[@gamerRN112]

nice to have all those saws and sanding.. ill be working manually

[@jvmiller1995]

Those came out nice. Though I would of loved to see some dovetail or even finger joinery as it would of really set them off. Even just 45% them and spline them would look good. Especially if you put bubinga wood splines on the maple and vs versa. Not knocking what you have done. I am just a sucker for joinery work. It makes things like this pop even more as that end grain always stands out. But again nice build.

[@moegamad]

looks really simple to make and looks good

[@lizrios3424]

He’s so intelligent and I like his good skills. Everything came out excellent. By the way he’s a good looking guy.

[@Harles74]

The project is simple and doesn't require a lot of woods. The problem about all project with woods is needing a complete equipment to start and finish the job. If you don't have at least 2000 dollars in equipment ( I mean serious equipment) you can't make a Little project like this.

[@craftedworkshop]

I disagree. If you buy pre-milled lumber, you could build this with under $300 of tools.

[@artemisp.folglemeyer]

How about a video for the poor boob that has at most a table saw, a square, drill, nails or screws and some wood glue, and a belt sander? I see you can buy these shelves from Amazon and others.
