Just an idea, get some nice decorative brass screws so you can leave the screw head flush with the wood and visible. Then put a couple of the same screws into the compartment door, just cut them off with a hacksaw so they don't go into the actual shelf. This will create the appearance that the door is screwed in place and immobile. Maybe even put a magnet catch inside the door in case the hinges loose the ability to hold the door closed.

The author does like to kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

Just finished mine, per your design. Graduation gift for my soon to be Deputy husband. Perfect for hiding his duty weapons. Thanks!

[@AB-nu5we]

Simple tools. Simple design. Nice one day build. Great looking result. Nice job as always guys.

[@TheRehabLife]

Glad you like it!

[@jeliarra]

As ALWAYS, the pair of you are AWESOME! Got a miter saw for Christmas so I'll be catching up on your teachings! Again seriously, the pair of you are pure GOLD! You could easily sell these designs, teachings etc., but you choose to share with the world! THANK YOU!

[@TheRehabLife]

Oh wow, thanks so much for the kind words! That's great news on the miter saw, good luck with all of the builds!

[@yasagigunasegaran4869]

You're absolutely amazing! Simple steps and instructions, thank you so much, we need more of these videos❤

[@elitelawn9547]

I love these simple but very informative videos. Thank you.

[@inspiringbuilds]

Nicely done, almost identical to the ones I built and posted a year ago. Love those hinges, the soft closing ones are nice if you open and close it a lot. 👍

[@paulmannix1760]

Again, another clear concise video. Straight to the point with a great usable & “doable” project. Thanks.

[@TheRehabLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@suhaibmutawakel4661]

The Simplest and clean video ever:)

[@nooshinscorner]

I love your teaching style! This really made my day.

[@teresajohnson9082]

I love this! How would I use this method, but construct the floating shelf with a depth of 12 inches and 80 inches in length? Advise please. Thank you!

[@SouthPaw909]

Just subbed to your channel ! Great directions right to the point … no talking just working !!!! love the content !

[@joejr5067]

Wow!!! Awesome. I love you guys. Great work.

[@amelia-elizabethhart3275]

Just bought your book online. So excited to get my hands on it. ❤

[@bigg82wt]

I have your book !! I love it. I love making your projects.

[@ciennagirl53]

Henry....I haven't seen you in so long And I will be making that shelf. I'm also waiting for your next book of all your outdoor furniture..(hint, hint)😊😊

[@TheRehabLife]

His fees are getting too expensive haha...I convinced him to make a cameo here. Not sure when another book will be but will definitely have some outdoor projects coming in the next few months!

[@clairepiaia8749]

Magnifique !

[@TheRehabLife]

Thanks!

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

Love it!

[@TheRehabLife]

Thanks!!

[@jimcab1853]

Very nice, would look great with pocket screws also

[@Jad.Khoury]

Love the shelf and love that I’m seeing a new video from you guys!

[@TheRehabLife]

More to come!

[@Jad.Khoury]

@@TheRehabLife perfect, can I request something? If so, here it is please: like half a wall separator that has boxes for storage, goes from floor to ceiling, thickness like the kallax or whatever

[@pattyavendt221]

Love your videos, beautiful and easy! But I’m not always notify when you guys post. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@TheRehabLife]

Thank you! I believe to be notified you also need to click on the little bell on a channel's profile. Hope this helps!

[@geraldocosmesilvacosme5744]

Muito bem😊 irei fazer um

Hello 👋🏾. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 😊 Nice results 👌🏿

[@TheRehabLife]

Thanks! Hello to Canada!

[@christopherpoxon9508]

If you have the time and skills, 45 the corners and shoot dowels through at a 45 just inside the joint. I think that would add a bit of strength and "Wow" factor.

[@ca6177]

I like that! Can a complete novice do this?

[@uniqueterrazzo]

Beautiful ❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️😍😍❤️😍

[@kevinshumaker3753]

One 'improvement': Some kind of 'hidden' lock like a magnetic baby cabinet door lock, or similar.

[@Earthy-Artist]

Clever floating shelf! Wondering if you may consider doing a super simple, sturdy, solid wood basic book case? Tall, wide rectangular in shape? I have a wall area that's 55" x 94" {ceiling is 95"} I'd like to go almost to the ceiling with it. My cookbooks have no home they're tired of living on my floor 😴. Hopeing eventually someday you may need to build a simple bookcase like it for one of your flipped homes😀.

[@TheRehabLife]

There is this video, it's not 94" tall but you could make it as tall as you need by repeating the steps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnvCe5emqc1jpMk

[@Earthy-Artist]

@@TheRehabLife Thank you & I did see/know about that Mid modern bookcase video which was great. I'm looking to make a basic 'traditional' bookcase, not mid modern. I think I've learned enough from your videos that I may attempt to construct a traditional style one on my own 📏📐🧰🔨🙂.

[@myhermitlife]

👏👏👏

[@karolgarley]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@haripraneetha7055]

Hi, I love your work, love how you provide the detailed measurements and how efficiently we can get those wood cuts. Appreciate it. I have never build anything, I would like to start with your console table. I got everything that I need for the project but I am failing on those screws. I have both drills and impact driver but I am failing to find a impact driver bit for 2 &1/2 trim head nails 😢 can you please do a short video or guide how to screw such nails or selecting the right drill/driver bits. Thank you

[@TheRehabLife]

Hi, thanks for following! If you bought a pack of the GRK 2 1/2" trim head screws it should come with a bit that works with your drill. If you'd like to use your impact driver specifically (which I agree saves time) it should show on the front of the box what size bit you'll need. The box I have says you'll need a T-10 star bit, which is this: amzn.to/3K2qZZ1 Hope this helps and good luck with the build!

[@haripraneetha7055]

@@TheRehabLife thank you for responding😊 I will try with that bit

[@priyankarai4053]

I tried this today...however, there were uneveness in measurements of the wood.Got is measured and cut at a local store. I am wondering if there is anything to shape it even?? Canadian this side.. Thanks for the videos- this is my first DIY

[@Angelesr1987]

Me encantaaa pero no entiendo las medidas 😢

[@Nancyalytzel]

Love your guys work! Can you share what kind of wood you use? Some stains different and would like to compare with what you use. Thank you!

[@TheRehabLife]

Sure! Typically the wood is pine (it's cheap compared to others) but you can substitute for sure

[@mattsauer2683]

I just built this and it’s great but was way more expensive than $30

[@karlojuratic]

I cant bun on amazon, you have any other option

[@toddpeterson1673]

No lock?

[@TempestaOfficial]

Idea: place to hide an outlet (I live in an old home that has outlets in the middle of a wall, not just near the floor) and use the compartment to secretly charge phones etc!

[@TheRehabLife]

Ooh that's a great idea!

[@joshjohnson132]

Where'd the star of your videos go???

[@leinad7246]

where is the lady?

[@josephhall2858]

Maybe you can build a work bench next so you don't have to work on projects on the ground...

[@TheRehabLife]

Maybe at some point

[@mayhem661616]

That looks like an awesome place to hide drugs

[@stuartwilcox3611]

Your next project should be a work bench. Y'all have been working on the floor too long.

[@TheRehabLife]

One of these days haha

[@18199]

Where's the secret compartment?
