Staining Pine Wood Shelves | Scaffold boards | DIY
This has been a long time coming. I will show you how to make rustic shelves from scratch, this pine wood projects is a great lockdown diy wall decor Idea.
During lockdown this has been a great do it yourself project where you can use wood stain to finish your lovely project.
Do it yourself projects for home decor is definitely a home design trends 2021. Pine wood diy projects are a great woodworking project that will save you money. Pine wood stain is not as difficult as most people think. It is also easy enough to use shelf brackets in this diy project. I did consider trying to make these into floating shelves but it would be too technical. Its safe to say this scaffold board project has been my favourite so far.
The smallest shelve in this video would have cost me £32 on online. I worked out the total value for all the shelves that I made. (rough estimate £150 including the brackets, dye, varnish, sealer and new sander) The great thing about DIY projects is the savings and the fact that any leftovers can be used on other projects in the future.
If I bought the shelves ready made it would have cost me £300+ for the length and quantity I needed.

I have the boards, the equipment and the stain, I was however lacking the confidence but your video has inspired me to start. Wonderful result and very grateful for your thorough instructions as I’m a complete novice.

[@TheMalcolms7]

Wow I think your comment deserves a pin 📍 Thank you so much. This is why I creat these content. I am so happy that this video has helped you. Honestly it's a very easy project and Im sure it will go well. I would love to see your finished results. Tag me or send me a photo on Instagram (@kenroy_malcolm) once your are done 👍🏾 😀 Best of luck

[@rosamundorton1769]

Excellent, answered all my questions :)

[@TheMalcolms7]

Hiya. Glad to hear it. I wish you all the best with your project 🙌🏾

[@rayleighrocket]

Nice job, well done. I’m starting this project, some really useful information thanks

[@TheMalcolms7]

Hiya 👋 Thanks for watching The shelves are holding up very well. I'm glad you found it useful. I've never done it before so I'm chuffed with the results and I'm sure you will too. Just be sure to drill deep enough holes and use long enough screws to anchor the brackets to the wall 🧱

[@toffee66uk]

Nice job 👍

[@TheMalcolms7]

Thank you 👍🏾 The shelves are holding up well I definitely recommend this process Are you doing a similar project?

[@tashannamarshall7864]

Wow absolutely beautiful, giving me so many ideas for my future home.....job well done kenroy

[@TheMalcolms7]

Thanks a lot. I really enjoyed making them as it was my first time. I would love to use some hard wood like oak or cedar but they are so expensive. You should definitely give it a go, why not change the type of brackets and perhaps the colour 🙌

[@studucky7826]

Great job ...But ! Measure once cut twice !! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheMalcolms7]

Thank you for watching. Glad you found it useful. It is true though if you measure once you will end up cutting twice. God knows I've done that enough times 😅😞 I know sometimes measure a third time just to be sure lol

Very nice DIY project. Shelves look very nice.

This is mint! They look so good and worth the effort.

Loving the final look!! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@TheMalcolms7]

Thank you. Can't wait for the next project ☺️

[@joes6088]

That wasn’t a belt sander you were using originally, it was just a standard orbital sander. The second one you used was a random orbital sander. A belt sander will take material off much quicker.

[@TheMalcolms7]

That's correct. I've since learned loads. You have to understand that this was my first time doing something like this 😅 I didn't know what to call the 1st sander but it resembled a belt sander except it's more of a sheet sander. Regardless it was pretty basic and the orbital sander was better. I was definitely a novice when I did this. I have learnt so much more now. Are you doing a similar project? Our shelves are holding up well 🙏

[@emmaedwards829]

Absolutely lovely, great job. Thank you for sharing x 🇬🇧

[@TheMalcolms7]

Hey Emma. Thank you so much. I loved this project and I highly recommend it 😃. Funny thing is I literally just used the remaining 3 boards on another room project this evening. I will upload soon. Are you doing something similar?

Much appreciated bro. Hope you are doing well

Great job bud, love the way the family all got involved as extra pairs of hands. I enjoyed watching this.

[@TheMalcolms7]

Wow Glad you enjoyed it Andy. Yes "many hands make work light" As my Mum used to say. These shelves were so easy to make and they do look really good. Are you considering doing something similar or have you done so before?

[@TMP2064]

I personnal love being generous with the dye then wiping away the excess. Compliments for a good video and cute little helper.

[@TheMalcolms7]

Hey Epic Thanks for watching. This was my first time using the dye so it was a learning curve for me. I didn't want the wood to be too dark as I wanted it to gradually darken over the years. So far they are still looking amazing and still standing on the walls 🙌🏾😅 Are you making some shelves also?

[@TMP2064]

@@TheMalcolms7 yes I intend to start with some shelves, then table tops amd just keep adding furniture over time all made with old scaffold boards and maybe poles too. Like the idea of a loft bed at some point too. So many ideas just need the wood and time.

[@TheMalcolms7]

@@TMP2064 wow. That sounds amazing to have the whole set. Honestly you can go wrong. The quality will be good and the overall quality to cost ratio will be better than buying it from a store. Plus the added bonus of getting made to measure and the job satisfaction is second to none. I hope to do some more scaffold board projects in the future. I have a few more pressing projects to focus on first. (New roof 😭😅)

Cheers bro nice vid, I'm doing some scaffold boards for shelf's in my kitchen and bathroom, had no idea about the cellulose sealer prep etc.🙏👍

[@TheMalcolms7]

Hey Christopher. Thanks for watching. Glad you found it useful. The shelves are still looking fabulous. A bit of dusting and light polish every now and then. Still really pleased with them How's your project going. Things are a lot more expensive these days so DIY is an even more appealing way to go 👍🏾 If you have any questions don't hesitate to message me.

[@toffee66uk]

Is the cellulose just the same as pre-stain wood conditioner. I’m in UK 🇬🇧

What do you think about these shelves? Have you made some similar ones? Would you give it a go? What would you do differently?

Looks beautiful .

Thanks for the comment. This definitely was one of my favourite projects. I mad do it again at some point when I need some more shelves. The best thing is that anyone can do it really.

Thanks for the advice about sanding sealer, I just did a scaffolding board dining table and it looks great 👍

[@TheMalcolms7]

Wow That sounds amazing. If you are on Instagram, send us a photo of the table. I would love to see it. I was thinking of making a table but we found one in a local charity shop for a fraction of the price. I may still make one of outside 😅 we shall see. What's next for you?

[@stillirise5678]

Great job 👍🏾 This is a very good idea 💡

[@amandajoyr1]

I am in the process of making these shelves using a discarded scaffold board (I couldn't believe my luck finding a 13ft board in the alleyway). Anyway I used a damp jeyes/all purpose cloth which helps the Colron dye spread easier. It's my first attempt at woodwork since school in the UK, thanks Kenroy. I'm going to use black iron brackets from Amazon to hang 3 shelves. Your shelves are brilliant.

[@TheMalcolms7]

Wow. Awesome, free board is always nice 👍 This is a great tip. I will try that next time. I do love the finish of the brush though. I really hope it goes well for you. Would be nice to see your finished project 😊

[@tomwalsh6774]

Fantastic 😀 This was definitely one of my favourite projects because it really wasn't difficult and you have the freedom to decorate them how you want. How will you fix them to the wall?

[@lhass2409]

That was great work! Thank you for sharing. Could you please advise if I need a rustic brown shelves what type of board to I need? Thank you

[@TheMalcolms7]

I'm glad you found it helpful. If you are looking for a more worn and rustic look I would suggest trying to get some used/reclaimed scaffolding boards or timber to match your style (watch out for defects though, nails, warped, holes, cracks and splinters. I would say that I did use new freshly sawn pine boards and you couldn't tell by the time I sanded and stained them that they weren't older. Obviously there will be some difference with aged wood and how it absorbs the dye but that's the charm of it all 😅 Look at me talking like an expert 😂 (I am not) I can say looking at the boards which I also used in a project where I made a walk in wardrobe. The boards look amazing even now. I will perhaps try some old reclaimed boards in the future to see the difference. Please let me know how you get on. Perhaps send me some photos on Instagram if you decide to go through with it. Lastly, make sure the bracket are heavy duty and strong enough to match the size and weight of a loaded shelf, also good size wall plugs and long enough screws. I know it sounds like a no-brainer but it an easy mistake to make 😅 You don't want all your hard work crashing down in the middle of the night 😭 Anyway I'm off to strip wall paper from my living room ☺️

[@oogiboogieman4465]

Look great 👍 what varnish did you use

[@TheMalcolms7]

So sorry. I don't see your message. I used this dye for the colour Check this out! amzn.eu/d/0pkvRjx and then I used a Standing sealer to protect it and add some sheen. Unfortunately they don't sell the clear sanding sealer that I used but I'm sure you could find others.

[@mikelacey9384]

Good video. That is not a Belt Sander

[@TheMalcolms7]

Apologies if I said belt sander 😅. You can tell this ain't my day job lol. I was supposed to say sheet sander I guess. I'm not a fan of those. I guess they have their place in the market ☺️ Thanks for your comment mate

[@wendytobiassen6740]

Im in the process of doing this, wish I'd know about sanding sealer before I got to this stage! Also, Im not sure I want a gloss finsh on the shelves! Not sure if to get a raw finish osmo or a slight shine! Any recommendations, the shelves are in an alcove next to a chimney wall that houses an oka fire surround which ive striped the heavy varnish off and want to oil for a more natural look!? Thanks for yr Video.

[@TheMalcolms7]

Hey Wendy Glad you enjoyed the video. Well, if you are going to have a natural look on naked wood you have a couple options that aren't that glossy. I would recommend beeswax coating or perhaps teak oil which gives a natural look and makes the wood glow. Just make sure you test it on a scrap piece first to make sure you are happy with the finish. Always a good idea to rest first as the shade can vary depending on the wood and the brand of the product. I'm working on a plant stand project now and I have opted for the team oil and so far it's nice. Far more subtle that the dyes I used on the shelves.

[@tmvideosuk]

Measure twice, cut once surely!!

[@TheMalcolms7]

Also if you measure one you may end up cutting twice 😫 I've certainly don that before 😅. Are you doing a similar project? or perhaps you have done so before. Thanks for watching all the same 👍

[@TheMalcolms7]

@@tmvideosuk That's great. I am just in the process of using the extras I had from this project to make a closet storage room with shelves. There are loads of different brackets to fix the boards to the wall. It would be great to see how you get on 😀

[@megaman2016]

Where did you get the boards and brackets from? What are they called

[@TheMalcolms7]

So the boards are cut from fresh pinewood. I found someone locally who sold 2.5m Length boards. You can buy ones that are used/old (check Facebook marketplace) or brand new ones that are smooth for hardware stores. The brackets I got from eBay. The brackets are rustic but can be painted to your liking. They are good ones beware of flimsy ones. Also check the dimensions of the birds to match the brackets 😅 I will post the Link to the brackets. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-Heavy-Duty-Steel-Scaffold-Board-Rustic-Shelf-Brackets-225mm-9inch-Made-in-UK-/372343202967?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
