love the video! do you have the part list or link?

[@user-ce4yw2gj3z]

Thank you for the nice video. Great music too!

[@coreygrua3271]

Nice to see what works and what doesn’t with some catchy music added to boot. Bravo for the wall sign too. Faith, family, friends; works so well in life. Nice results all around.

[@DerekTJ]

Well done

[@harryhagelund7674]

Nicely done! Being an industrial electrician and contractor, I really would like to see you use safety glasses. But that's just me. Very nice job!!

[@shemp34]

Safety is job number 3!

[@eugeniavargas588]

​@@shemp34😊😢

[@dexterramos7519]

This one is awesome definitely gonna try this out on my appartment... Thanks Man! 😊

[@DB-qd7zl]

Good vid. About ready to do this in my kitchen from oaks that I cut down behind my house. Had not thought to use a jig, and my router to smooth the top surface. Thanks... way better than using a belt sander on these bandsaw blade cut slabs.

[@browill9]

Beautiful work

[@happydlamini1798]

Wooow, beautiful work man.

[@eduardovalencia8412]

Great work!

[@AbamAdy]

turn out gorgeous

[@AreBaloni]

Ady Unixmoment Thanks! I appreciate it!

[@TranTheClever]

You need a stage & cameras following you around! We're in the middle of remodeling an attached in-law apartment into a master bedroom & I was pulling my hair out until I came across your channel (while at work 😅) You are amazing girl! Y gracias for all the inspiration!! 4:58

[@rosgembrun]

Handsome shelf.

[@r.mercado9737]

Way togo young man! Very nice work.

[@AreBaloni]

Robert Mercado Thank you! :)

[@rahulbusviah8936]

Nice wood work

[@AreBaloni]

Rahul Busviah Thank you! :)

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Sweet !

[@mariemontalvo8462]

Great job

[@xXWillsW1LYXx]

Really nice, I'm doing something similar at the moment but only got one Ikea mount and I want two shelves so got to make my own one of those as well. Looks great, personally I would have taken the back edge back flat and rerouted to fix that tear out, it's not very noticeable, but you KNOW it's there aha.

[@glennryzebol4472]

I think that is a super cool take on a router sled. I`ve not seen one like it before. I think you`re running the wrong side of your circular saw`s base against your guide though. The other side will grant much more stability, be safer and give you a cleaner cut.

[@antoniocerda6287]

👍 good job

[@user-gg9tv3uv1w]

세심히 꼼꼼하게 작업하는 모습을 뵈니 배울점이 많은 것 같습니다.🤗 좋아요 구독 눌러 자주 뵙겠습니다. 🌿🎄🍒

[@kylecook6357]

Do you have a cut list for your router jig? Like the design. Great work!

[@madmax5579]

by the way nice job

[@richardearly6028]

Very nice work. Im hoping that wood is kiln dried though.

[@hickorysocks2628]

Awesome!!! Do you happen to have a link to where to buy the mount?

[@TranTheClever]

Amazing! I want to give this a go! 5:51

[@hoanghungcuong6343]

I gotta try this! My garage is so cluttered right now lol 5:21

[@electricalron]

Is that an old Greenlee Nail-Eater bit? Because if it is those things are awesome. I have not seen one in years...

[@TheLinkMedic]

What type of router bit did you use for the leveling process?

[@veronicalarock4113]

What router bit did you use for the back where you attached the rods

[@sailor2466]

Good video. Thanks. What is the music in the background?

[@dancindeb6872]

What are you using to coat the wood, looks like some kind of oil?? It looks terrific, thanks for a great video!!

[@TC72280808]

probably linseed oil

[@drparks1061]

All that to hold a frickin candle and flower.

[@xtramoist9999]

Is that the saw you "threw" out?

[@RoomiesGarage]

When you were flattening the slab of wood did you use a special router bit? Loved the video found it entertaining.... cheers

[@AreBaloni]

Roomies Garage Nope, just a flat bottom bit :) Thank you!

[@AnthonyJohnson-qv5nc]

Lovely gorgeous shelfs. Why do you flatten it with a router? Wouldn't it be much easier to run it through a planer on both sides?

[@MegaRetroRocket]

Not everyone has the luxury of having a planer. The router sled method is quite commonly used as a substitute and for larger slabs that wouldn't fit in a planer (eg, a whole coffee table you don't want to slice up and reglue).

[@AnthonyJohnson-qv5nc]

MegaRetroRocket good thinking and point taken.

[@lindaschmidt27]

What kind of wood did you use? Nice work!

[@AreBaloni]

Actually I am not 100% sure, but I think it’s birch!

[@smilingdog54]

What router bit did you use to plan the board?

[@bighands69]

I think that is way over the top. That shelf will be able to hold a tank on it.

[@blameitonben]

How much weight will this hold?

[@delroyclayton2399]

I also would like to know where you got the mounting bracket

[@AreBaloni]

Delroy Clayton I took that from an old IKEA shelf 👍🏼

[@emcaun8054]

[@88nollaig]

What kind of wood is the shelf?

[@hakonvikse9927]

12K😍

[@madmax5579]

Name of the song please

[@AreBaloni]

Mad Max We're in this together now - loving caliber 👍🏼

[@bngr_bngr]

You cut off the best part of the board.

[@xXWillsW1LYXx]

Also your router sled made me feel stupid for spending £150 on aluminium extrusion and rollers. I'm making one like yours tomorrow

[@MitchellVH]

Didnt seem very strong

[@ebdavid]

slab is quite heavy. i guess it's for decoration purpose only, fore anything else on it will cause damage to the wall behind it but albeit it's nice work - well done

[@dontarguewithfools]

These KZbin videos r killing KZbin. Where is the average Joe how to's
