Why countersink the screws or bolts holding up the shelves, it only weakens the support and does nothing else since they are not visible anyway?

why not inlay power wires in the wall, you can get good thin wires in there, finish it with mud. even easier to fix if you have drywall

You should be selling these amazing shelves. I am buying by the way!

For a truely hidden switch (with no standby power draw), consider using a “normally open” reed switch embedded inside the shelf. Then just place a strong magnet over the top of the reed switch to turn it on.

Watching this video, I came up with a similar idea as you did. So...Ditto!, I have a wall in my front room I was at first contemplating a full wall build out. However, using the floating wall system will utilize less material, looks good, and easier to move around if needed. I also though of running the wires in the wall as you did.👍😎😀

How did you make the controls work together on the 3 shelves?

This is the first of your videos I've seen. Great shop setup. Most importantly, I really like the way you not only talk about safety, but you really PRACTICE safety as well! Earplugs, glasses, push sticks, etc.

Dude, seriously good job on conception and execution. I also enjoy blending woodworking, 3d printing, and microelectronics together. It is seriously a match made in heaven these days with what we can do.

Great job on yet another project that I have on my list to do! Would love to see a nice still image of the entire wall showing both the shelves and the unit below.

I love incorporating electronic stuff into builds. Definitely would love to see more.

Great job Brad! Always enjoy your videos. Your one of my favorite to watch. You actually really helped me out when I first started wood working because mistakes where made LOL!!! And that really helped me push forward and not quit

I love the subtle comedy in your videos, the inception plug in was dope. I always use blue painters tape in my floating shelf glue ups. It holds strong and doesn't tar out any wood fibers when you remove it, nor does it leave any adhesive behind that you have to sand off or may clog any wood grain.

This is great! I did something similar with my bar but, led’s on top to uplight the bottles on the bar. I ran the low voltage wire down the inside of the wall and plugged in to outlet below with LED transformer. New to the channel and looking forward to exploring!

Never been comfortable with electronics but you make it look so easy. Really nice shelves. Very well done! Keep up the great videos....

Great work! These came out really nice! A did a similar (in concept) project a little more than a year ago where I embedded LED's into a riser add-on I built for my office desk. I initially considered the aluminum muzata track, but it's quite expensive for what it is. Significant savings can be had if you just stick the LED's directly to the wood channel you routed, and either forgo the cover all together, or you cut acrylic strips and spray them with frost spray paint (to taste) as a cover that you can then either route a channel so it slides in or glue it onto a ledge you can route (as I did). I actually completed the cover and didn't even end up using it since the light is more intense without and I'm not looking under the riser anyway. Diffusion didn't prove to be an issue with the riser being about 9" from the top of the desk top. One of these days, I'll get a video up for the build as it came out quite nice.

I rarely build a project just like the one in a video. So seeing new techniques or ideas is always welcome.

Dude, I've been doing odd and ends carpentry for about five years now. I'm so OCD when it comes to perfection. I have every tool imaginable, but still learning every time I build something. Today I built 4 floating shelves for each side of our fireplace. I used the tape method I saw in your video, and OMG! Game Changer! Thank you so much for posting this video. This made things so much easier!

I totally respect your choice of teaching safety. It IS number one. I applaud you brother. 👍👍

I obsses over making my office space as epic and pro level as possible. Videos like this just inspire me to keep trying to take things to the next level. 🤩

Done something close to this with my kids floating shelves... But I drilled into the dry wall and dropped cables from each of the Floating shelves behind the dry wall to a wall dry line box and powered from mains usb power instead of battery packs. No worrying about charging or hot battery packs while charging then. Great job and looks so well. Well done.

I appreciate that you include/admit mistakes. Too often video DIYers present themselves like they can do no wrong - but we all make mistakes.

LOVE your building this and fixing that stuffs! implementing a couple/3 of your ideas into the reno this summer!! I'm game to see what interesting install methods you can come up with for say, led base boards, inset led steps... you get the idea😉

I've seen a lot of videos of DIY'ers doing LED lights, and I would have to say that your video is by far the best so far. I have been an electrician for 30 years now and have done more LED lights than I can say. You hit a home run on this one, however, I would have just run a power wire to the shelves and not used battery operated LED's, but that's what I do for a living anyway. Great job!

Hi Brad, I just came across this video on my feed and gotta say, I absolutely loved your work, edit and pace. I have never done anything like this in my life, but I am wishing to do it in the future, so I really enjoy seeing videos like yours to learn and get ideas from. Keep up the great work! Just subscribed to see more in the future.

Well, I was most impressed with the 46° mitre idea to get those sharp edges. Must try it out over this weekend with some test ply.

Burnishing the edge is a sweet trick to close up that little gap! It’s really hard to get the longer boards just perfectly mitered to not have any gap. Especially for the typical DIY table saw…. They just don’t cut as precise as needed. Looks great!

This video helped me to build my own In-Wall L-Shaped long shelves in my living room. Thank you for the inspiration.

That was terrific build Brad and I always like how you shed some light on you projects! 👍👍😉😉

If you use hue lights you can connect them to a real light switch and control everything with other smart home stuff as well. I built a similar thing and I liked the hue option because there isn't a battery to charge

Well done sir! You make it look easy. Anyone who’s tried to build “perfect” box knows that this is far harder than it looks.

I love electronics. Incorporating them into woodworking projects takes them to the next level!

Good Job Lori. Chuck was a good pick for a seat tester. I look forward to many more videos.

Awesome idea!!! Looks so clean. I made my first floating shelf out of scrap 1/4 MDF and on the fly. It is small and is mounted just above my medicine cabinet to put all my meds on. I need to take it down and refinish it and make the support system a little bit sturdier.

I like that, in spite of the fact that I've seen several videos on how to make a very similar floating shelf, I still learn something new, or I'm able to follow along like I already do know. Not sure if I'll build a floating shelf like this anytime soon but this is a cool build.

Awesome video, great design and very clear explanations. It helps a lot for my shelve project. Thank you 👍.

Just found this channel in my recommended. You mentioned about getting into more electronics - you totally should! Actually I knew nothing about wood stuff, but LEDs, wiring small electronics, those I'm pretty familiar with now. It's worth it. I'm hoping to combine our two interests at some point but I have to learn more about building with wood first. Great video, subbed!

I really like that you incorporate projects within projects, but I enjoy longer show the process videos. I’m a dabbler of the things…resin to plywood end grain to copper and concrete.

The builds you do and the production quality of your videos are amazing!! You deserve WAY more than 1.2 M subs!! Awesome work my friend!!

Great video! Very similar to the way I build floating shelves and as the electronics keep digging into that… so much you can do with low voltage and wood. I have 25+ years in the 12v/audio/video world and now I incorporate that into almost every project with lighting or moving panels. They have power supplies that are super small and thin just for low voltage lighting. Hardwired is the way to go vs battery especially for a no hassle no call back customer service point of view. Not a big deal for people like us to change batteries but most of customers want out of site out of mind hassle free!! Just my 2 cents. Keep up the awesome clean work and keep the videos coming.

You are right about going wired. These items are not much electricity draws and newer electronics can be worked via phone/alexa for a truly seemless voice turn on/off. Is there.a good video for hardwired floating shelf? I'm looking to use one over a bed that has built in light/wireless charger/usb ports.

I like it when the mistakes are not covered up in the final video production. Great shelves!

So cool. Love your enthusiasm, it is infectious! I would love to try both the shelves and electronics, but am a bit of a scaredy-cat , as in, likely to fail, so don’t try! But your instructions are awesome and I will be saving this video to check back on for when I get the courage!

I am always amazed what you can accomplish with handcraft, and of course the right tools. I failed completely building a square.

Great video, I love to see something easier since I don’t have that many tools. But I love electronics and love to see you create something cool with lights.

Looks awesome!! I did something similar, but the shelves are wired, yet hidden. Used 1 set of lights and dropped the wire from the top shelf to the bottom shelf, then down the wall and out a grommet to an outlet. Also used wifi/blutooth lights from Govee, so everything is app controlled!

This is amazing! Great work, really enjoyed the whole process!

Looks like your producing leveled up! Love your content. Thank you for all you do.

That electronic switch for the lights was IMPRESSIVE, gotta try this one day :)

You reading my mind man. Have to build some for the bathroom. Thanks for the idea. Just waiting on my track saw to come in. Great job on the shelves.

Fantastic work, they look great. One thing i probably would of added is some sort of diffusion for the light strips, for a softer glow. I believe thats more of a personal thing however.

What a great build! Thanks for sharing.

I made some shelves like these but my mitres were terrible. I routed out a 5mm rebate on all edges, and glued in a piece of dark wood. Turned out amazing.

Amazing as always. Thanks for using the track saw for so much if that build. I love mine but I haven’t ventured into cuts off the table yet. And please let me know when you add a “MISTAKES WERE MaDe” shirt to the merch!!

The project looks great! 👍 Would be nice to learn electronics and more led projects from this channel

I love the magnetic charging cables. Putting one of those adapters in there would have the connection not have dust and stuff gunk it up as easy. And of course everything is better with magnets. LOVE the shelves. Want to have similar when we finally get into a house not an apartment

Loved that you incorporated electric. I vote yes for more more electrical & woodworking videos!

This is absolutly fantastic. You are very good at woodworking and you are interesting to listen to. I will experiment your tutorial soon. I am a begginer in woodworking and I am confident. No experience but lots of positivness ! Thank you again.

just found your channel - amazing shelves and love your vibe! Would love to see some more electronics work if you haven't already! Good stuff :)

Love electronics! Please make some more stuff utilizing wires, lights and stuff!!

I'd be interested to see more electronics, maybe even some builds that focus heavily on it. It's a subject I've been interested in since I was younger, but life got crazy and I actually spent most of my teens and 20's blind. Now that I'm moving into my first home, I really want to build things and learn how to do basic electronic projects integrated into some furniture builds or even just customizing pieces we buy. This kind of stuff is very interesting, at least to me.

I love everything about this video. Awesome production value might I add.

Even though there's a lot of floating shelves how to, I think this one is at the top of the list. I guess it depends on what material you're working with. Either way, they turned out sexy cool 😎. It might be b/c of the leds. That was such a "bright" idea 🥁 🤦‍♀️🤣

I so wish I had the tools to do all this amazing stuff :( Looks absolutely fantastic! Great vid and great tips!

Ad placement was smooth, and not a bother. Great Work!

I love this idea. Thanks for the cool project!

I definitely want to learn more about adding electronics to projects

great project. I have an idea to make the shelves even better. you should have put a board or two horizontally between the shelves so you could turn the three leds of the shelves on and off with just one button

I bought a wood shelf, used a router with an quarter inch bit, installed an led rope light and I’d say it looks better than what you have. The leds I use are definitely up to snuff as I have lights in my garage that have been on for over a year with no issues.

I love that you used the old screwdriver to burnish the edges. I have some old ones I inherited and I don’t use them but would feel bad getting rid of them. I don’t feel bad holding onto to the if I can remember them for those types of tasks.
