How to Put Recessed Shelves in a Wall

[@Tamarindgyal]

It was such a warm feeling seeing the family participate in the build. I have yet to find a carpenter willing to do this where I am located. Thank you for Sharing.

I like how you included the tests for troubleshooting the stud finder. This was one of the best DIY videos I’ve ever seen. The calm, gentle and step-wise approach is heart-warming!

The test holes was a great tip, I'll keep that in my back pocket. Also love including the kids in these projects. There is so much little kids can do to help, and they'll remember doing this together.

I was listening to The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller and this video reminded me of one example given in that book. Including children in assembling the table was a brilliant idea. With proper supervision, it does something to the child's brain to be allowed when they are allowed to participate in such activities.

Nice to see how the kids were involved

by far the best video ive seen regarding recessed shelves. thanks for sharing

*pins favorite school drawing up* hits the electrical outlet.

Yeah, I didn't understand why, if they were moving it, they didn't just recenter it BELOW the whole bookshelf. I mean, if you don't have enough wire, just thumbscrew it together and attach it to the outlet (turn off the fuse first).

What a great project!

Great video. I read somewhere that fire code requires lining the studs with 1/2" drywall. Is it true that it's not a good idea to install a wood shelf butted up against the studs? I'm wondering because we're in the process of installing recessed shelves inside our pantry. I hate to give up the space to add drywall on each side if it isn't necessary. Can anyone advise? Thank you.

Came across your channel today. In love with the content already. Keep posting❤🎉

This was really helpful. I want to do a small version of this and fix the ones we already have from previous owners. I’m curious though, what was the purpose of gluing the shelves before nailing them in? To create a seal all the way around?

[@goodintentions1302]

I absolutely love the whimsical frame! Great project that the frame makes even better!

How do I fix a deeply recessed entertainment shelf in a cape cod? The previous owner didn't insulate it, and there is a crawlspace only on the oneside.

Hi Ron, I prefer power tools for this job, I have a special bit the I put into my trim router, it has a smooth end to it that will not cut into pipes or electrical wires and to dust is sucked away by the vacuum attached to the router

[@yanone9942]

May I ask what that bit is called?

[@linajmval]

@@yanone9942 would love to know as well.

NOOICE!

[@krazykkarl]

The ice machine was working fine.

[@MaryOKC]

I want to build a shelf between studs too… it’s a plan

[@JasonDeline]

I don't understand why you wouldn't install the electrical outlet on the border between shelves, or below. Why would you put it in the middle of the bulletin board?
