I go over the steps how to make this mountain shelf with snow caps for my son's room. It is super easy to make with just a few tools, and the materials can be bought for right around $30, making this a fun and cheap DIY weekend project. Let me know if you have any questions on the mountain shelf below!

Can you list out the measurements in the description?
best mountain I seen so far and fun through out the watching, thank you
You made that look so easy. They turned out amazing.
I love the way this turned out! Thank you for speaking out your thought process throughout the build- easiest way for myself to follow along.
I made one yesterday and it turned out awesome! thanks for the video :)
Just wanted to say I made this on my own following along with your video and it came out perfectly! Thanks for sharing this tutorial! 😊
Exactly what I was needing to see.
Thank you for sharing. I saw these on pinterest and want to make them. Now, knowing the angles, I can. Nice job.
THAT Is SUPER CUTE!! The mountain shelves are cool, too.

That was great! I just need to get the right tools to do projects like what you just did. Right now I just have a few tools just enough of what I'm doing but I'll have to get little by little when funds are available.
Awesome video! I think I'm going to be making something very similar to this very soon!
Very nice!
Awesome dude!!!!

After spending 30 minutes trying to figure out the correct angles to use I decided to come to KZread for some help. My only question now is if my base is half the length do I need to use a different angle*? I have never made anything that needed angles cut. Your video is so helpful and the best one I found. Thank you so much.

Glad it helped! You won't need a different angle for the shorter base unless you want steeper or flatter mountains. If not, just use the angle I did

No rough idea on how long the middle mountain lengths were?
What are the lengths of the cuts for the middle and very small mountains? Thanks!
Would this work if cut at 45d angle? I'm planning to this with mitre box and hand saw. My box doesn't have 30d.

You should be able to do something similar. Your tops should just meet up at a 90 degree angle.
Any suggestions if you don't have a Brad gun?
Do you have written steps somewhere? :) These are amazing btw

Thank you. And I did not really write anything down, just knew the angles I needed to cut and figured out the lengths as I went. Sorry!
Question: I used the same wood glue as you and sanded prior to applying the stain...the areas that have wood glue will not stain (areas along the seams and a couple spots where I wiped away the excess glue). What am I doing wrong?
@LifeofBliss

Wood glue really doesn't accept stain well. I'd sand it a little more and then maybe cover those areas with a little wood filler maybe?

I don't... the base was 40 inches long. And I started off the larger mountains on each side with a 14 inch piece and a 16 inch piece. The rest were just cut as I went.

Just here to say a huge thankyou for this video - it was really easy to follow along and the construction method suited the tools I had available just perfectly. My saw couldn't fit the 1x4 vertically, but it did have an adjusted to 'lean' over 30 degrees, which worked out great. I added a shelf in the central mountain, so be able to add more items. I used 1x6 for the base, and set it to be +4 inches longer on each end, to provide a wider, broader shelf at the bottom. I used pre-conditioned for the staining, which I think is well worth it. I uploaded a quick video on mine after staining here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/mp9-l66ffqTYd7Q.html I decided to not doing the snow caps now, but will make a set of 3-sided snow caps out of thin ply, that can be removable, to change according to the seasons.

Anyone want to post a list of all their cuts ?
This the only video which makes sense rest all have wierd music no explanation
I thought this would be an easy beginner project and I’m already lost 😂 If I measure 40 inches, am I making the cut inside the measurement or outside? My wood shop high school teacher would be so ashamed. He’d probably kick me out of class and point to the office with his good finger… Ugh! I need a dad 😂
What were the measurements of the other Mountains?
