Making Floating Shelves

[@AdrianPreda]

A small project that brought some color to one of the walls of my room where I keep the “corner woodshop”

[@BasedGhoul]

Not to be a jerk or anything but your woodworking room doesn't look like a woodworking room you'd get any serious work done. It looks more like a display room with expensive tools and fancy shelves. I'd be terrified to try doing anything in there. I'd always be worried about scarring or blemishing something. No offense but I'd never try constructing or staining anything on your more recent workbench. It looks more like a piece of fine furniture and not a workbench to get work done on it. In any case, nice job on the shelves. I'd definitely do that for a room in my house but not for something such as a woodworking room.

[@ewoks42]

Wow.. looks great!!! Is small workbench you used at 0:45 made by you? Do you have a more detailed video about it?

[@prasetyoa.9699]

This guy is damn impressive, he didn't heavy tools to do such impressive works. Only simple tools and skills. Damn bruh, respect to your skill.

[@rcpete7055]

Someone's got all the planes and likes working with wood🙄😄

[@bftigdd]

fuck , too precise and well excuted

[@xewindx]

I want all your tools :) I love your work, it's amazing

[@guiflima099]

Adrian, I really love your mini shop. I got some fantastic ideas from your videos. Thank you!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Glad you find useful stuff in my work!

[@fiogdi7995]

Oh! just wow! i like this shelves!!! simple and wonderfull! I think i use this video when i start making shelves in kitchen room!

[@Slovenianwoodworker]

O that's Sweet..!Look forward to meet.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks man! Looking forward!

[@DW16964]

What size stock did you make the vertical supports from?

[@michaelmancini5773]

Beautiful work, but these are not floating shelves, their bracketed, a floating shelf projects off the wall with no visible means of support

[@claudioruvalcaba102]

Hello Adrian! How much would you charge for a set of 4 of this shelves? Hope you and your family are doing fine, cheers

[@DorianBracht]

Very nice! I like that housed lap joint ;)

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Dorian! So that's the correct name :)

[@DorianBracht]

I hope so ;)

[@VikingRaider]

Great stuff! Thanks. Ps. WHat is that little dado cutter at 6:13? lOVE TO GET ONE.

[@AdrianPreda]

VIKING -RAIDER Thanks! That is a homemade router plane, should be my next video making it, very soon, if time would be more generous to me :)

[@MrHemchandra]

A very traditional approach. Meticulous work with precise measurements. Love the use of hand tools. Thanks for sharing.

[@FranksDIY]

A wonderful way to make shelves. Love the look too. Bi the way how do you keep your shop looking so good.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Frank! My shop is in a corner of my apartment, that's why is looking like this, otherwise my wife will kill me :) Hope to maintain the same habit when I will have a proper shop, but low chances...

[@ConstantKouakou]

Coooollll !!! I was wondering how to creat solid floatting shelves on my wall .... and you bring the solution ... thanks sharing on youtube and have great success !

[@rociocabreraperez7729]

Por favor podrías decirme las medidaa que usaste psra crear ésta repisa? Gracias!!!

[@reymundofemat4576]

Es mejor enderezar la madera mojándola, rebajarla es como reflejar la falta de capacidad para trabajar la madera.

[@firozbardi5898]

Very well made. I just love the way you have converted warped wood into something very useful and pleasing to the eye.

[@Mikhandmaker]

Awesome Job! Nice

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@calbrig1978]

again i am impressed with your channel

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Chris! Glad you enjoy my videos!

[@tooljunkie555]

nice shelves adrian! and i like the Japanese style hand plane..how do u like it? is it as sharp and great to use as everyone says it is..whats next on ur to do list? "plug n play" haha!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Joe! That small block plane I grab it just for play and discover the japanese planes, I am not using it at its max, still need to tune better the sole, the chip breaker, and sharpen the blade to a higher grit (now 3k max), it has a nice feel when planing, and I'm sure that a normal size one, smoothing/jack, will be greater.

[@AdrianPreda]

Next I will make that homemade router plane seen on this and previous video ;)

[@tooljunkie555]

Adrian Preda yeah I was thinking about buying the small one also just to get a feel for it I have a couple homemade ones and I like the whole tapping it with the hammer to adjust it Etc.. I look forward to seeing the upcoming project.. oh and I love that little router plane.bet it comes in handy when needed I need to get one

[@AdrianPreda]

Is a nice experience with these japanese planes. I was a little concern that the tunnig will be difficult, that's why I took the little block initially, but for "full" japanese planing :) a normal size one would be more awesome. Also, I think I remember from your shop tour you have a Veritas honing guide. With a little effort you can match the blade angle and sharp them with this guide.

[@هشامالعبدي-و4ج]

bonjour très bon travail, un plaisir pour les yeux

[@AdrianPreda]

Merci beaucoup!

[@generalzugs6017]

I'm speechless. I have no speech :D

[@adrianramirezp.6716]

Excelente trabajo amigo

[@banlee100]

ok, what can I say? This is art of wood, excellent craftsmanship!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much!

[@parshuramjipassi9406]

Great work.good innovation.👍💪🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳👏👏 smart work.thanks.

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

why all these primitive hand tools rather than just a router and power planer,table saw, miter saw ect. ? you spend ten times the amount of time to do something with hand tools.making something more difficult and time consuming does not equate to "better"

[@howardhagadorn9443]

You sure do some meticulously fine work.

[@AdrianPreda]

+Howard Hagadorn Thanks, appreciate!

[@Ole.Rellik]

Outstanding video. Where did you find the "Detail Rabbet Plane" ? I could never find one that small and my old router plane just won't get edges like that. I always tilt a little and get out of square.

[@claudioruvalcaba102]

Hello, maybe it's too late to answer your question, Veritas sells mini tools like this! I saw them on Lee Valley tools if I remember correctly

[@Ole.Rellik]

@@claudioruvalcaba102 Thanx I found one and it's great.

[@ab-pp8ed]

i like what u have done, but u have to demonstrate to us one by one or pit by pit the tools u are using since some of us have no knowledge about carpentry.

[@AdrianPreda]

Why do I have to?

[@scannon90]

That wood isn’t mahogany, it’s sapele.

[@GF20145]

To much work but oh well great stuff

[@MinhTran-wn1ri]

What hardware did you use to mount the shelf?

[@jessicag630]

7:10 That's probably drywall anchor. But, drywall anchor is not very strong. Bourbon Moth Woodworking channel used 2 welded iron brackets mounted in the wall for his shelf.

[@sergzacher4337]

Too much work for such a too simple thing, too elavorated and complicated to make a so simple thing.. it's waste of time to seen it, needs too much pacience to watch till to the end.. there's many more vids doing almost the same without too excessive tecnik.. sorry, didn't like it .. lol

[@autonomous44]

I like them but I don't think the vertical bars lend well to the floating shelf idea. When I think floating shelf, I think JUST the shelf. These look decidedly bracketed because of those details. They are nice, though. They are just regular shelves in my eyes, especially with the mounting style.

[@Galeribamboo]

Nice video.... friends

[@adityabiyani387]

thanks for the idea

[@nugrohoputranto4590]

Keren banget

[@eltigre8199]

Y donde compro esas mini herramientas???

[@lilianaprina5991]

Adorable for items that are not too heavy. Love them. I also like the wood is thin and different from other pieces of wood. I love You Tube because it teaches me things my family never taught me because they were too busy working.

[@ripperrroo7899]

You are a true woodworker! Doing things in a traditional way!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much!

[@yopiaryapura2246]

I really enjoyed to watch your video,keep up the good work.greeting from Indonesia.....

[@wilhelmtaylor9863]

Is it "floating" if you see the mounts? Would this be a floating shelf: www.woodmaven.com/804/Shelves.jpg

[@VORONM]

I like it!

[@xigmach]

what circular saw tool is that?? nice tools....

[@AdrianPreda]

Is Bosch GKS 12V (old name 10.8V)

[@mrmrsmillican4688]

What size stock did you make the vertical supports from?

[@lokyinphotography]

I love your crafts. beautiful.

[@pauldee1822]

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Andrei! Appreciate it!

[@jay-uk4fb]

i hit subscribe right away after seeing the finish work. you are one amazing human being sir.

[@ArtistfkaLuis]

You live in th 5 boroughs ? Whered you get that mahogany so small lol

[@SethsProject]

Where do you get your wood from? I always have trouble finding wood.

[@AdrianPreda]

Kind of difficult for me too. Some I get from big box stores, but there are limited and boring types (pine, laminated beech etc, rare times I found mahogany), some from model maker shops (thin 1/8 to 1/4 veneers, walnut, mahogany, pine). There are some lumber yards around me, but I don't have the power tools and space to resawn them.

[@SethsProject]

I've had some luck finding wood on eBay. You can find some decent deals. You can re saw with your Japanese rip cut saw. That's what I do, but it does get tiring lol.

[@AdrianPreda]

+Seth's Project I enjoy a lot rip cuting with the ryoba, but small boards only. Preparing a frame for a little cabinet for ex from a big wood plank will take the fun out of it. That cool looking whale shape saws maebiki i think they re called will be fun to use😀

[@hotrodhog2170]

+Seth's Project, Ebay is over priced. I'm not sure where you are but I find a lot of my wood on Craigslist. I am in the southeast Ky region and have great luck finding stuff that guys with band saw mills get rid of cheap. I just took a nice 1 1/2 hour ride and picked up some live edge walnut slabs 2" thick, about 34" long and about 22''-24'' wide for $15.00 each. Awesome deal.

[@SethsProject]

Hotrod Hog Thanks! I have since found a lot of walnut and maple. I have enough to make my hand tool cabinet and my workbench. eBay is very expensive, and luckily I didn't buy anything from there. It is relatively hard to find people selling lumber here in East Tennessee.

[@aravindg7271]

Pls show your handmade drill press making video

[@joseluizdoamaral]

PARABÉNS, é um trabalho de paciência .

[@AdrianPreda]

Obrigado Jose Luiz!

[@robmcphillips6640]

Fantastic what you can do with a whole set of top of the range tools that are brand new, never used, and before you say it I'm a 40 year carpenter, my tools were never as shiny, sooo impressed

[@AdrianPreda]

Three years ago they were new indeed, now they look not so good :)

[@STANWoodwork]

Very nice project small. Shelves looks lovely.

[@koreanwoodworker2582]

Simple and nice one!!

[@indomable90]

Wonderful and beautiful!!😍

[@EddieLuo]

keep on posting new videos please.

[@AdrianPreda]

I will, thanks!

[@dreamkiss4u]

all tho its a nice project...this is not a floating shelve, a floating shelf does not have any bracket holding it to the wall its hidden to create the look like its floating with no bracket holding it....but still nice little project.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks for the appreciation! Yes, I knew it's not a proper floating, I kind off thought to call it floating because is a shelf that is hinged alone on the wall, and not a cabinet's shelf..

[@cespedessaucedocarlos5539]

[@unzaliang]

Excellent ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

[@moisesluna3624]

Thanks from México. Muy buen trabajo. Hermoso.

[@PoorKidOne]

Nicely done. You make everything look so simple in your videos, yet so challenging at the same time.

[@joeinvegas101]

Does anyone know what model number the bosch small circular saw he uses, is?

[@AdrianPreda]

+joeinvegas101 GKS 12V, ex 10.8V LI

[@jishaku38]

The blue tape is slippery?

[@AdrianPreda]

So so, better than wood on wood, but not fantastic.

[@thesunnyville828]

Absolutely love these shelves, and your craftsmanship in making them even more impressive!

Nice video 👍

[@js240561]

Hi Adrian, are you still making any of your floating shelves and selling it?

[@AdrianPreda]

Hi there, I never made these for sale, but I still have some material for 2-3 shelves if you wish. You can go on my Etsy store www.etsy.com/shop/mikomiatelier and request a custom order there, then we can speak more details there. Adrian

[@yasenzhekov]

Nice shelves and good video. Bravo. The model furniture on the shelves during the video opening looks very nice. Can you give little bit more detail? You've made it?

[@yasenzhekov]

Aa... pff.. who doesn't read the video descriptions.. :) You have to start doing some miniature furniture, though... your workshop is pretty well suited for this :))

[@AdrianPreda]

:) Yeah, but they're too small for me :). I like to do small to medium stuffs like little boxes, kumiko etc this kinda

[@cosascaseras1601]

AMazing work!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!
