Hey I am a Carpenter, and just as an little hint. When u cut solid wood, take the side stop (not sure if the translation is correct ) approx. half of an inch behind the beginning of the sawblade. It prevents the wood from getting stuck between the blade and the side stop. Geers Cyrill

Wow. So satisfying seeing the pieces come together perfectly to form a box.

That might be the best floating shelf video on KZread. Others involve welding or use "kits" AKA sponsor bait. Nice to be shown how to do it and not sold on how to do it.

- Another really GREAT project. The background music is also very pleasant & fitting.

Those came out slick and clean. Thanks for sharing, Michael!

I swear your diy’s are always amazing but your thought process and the way you execute things always blows my mind! You make it look so effortless! Also, you could try putting the rope in a mesh bag and just tossing it in your washing machine to get rid of the smell. Love that little elevator scene with you whispering to yourself “gentlegentlegentle” lol!! 4:51

Lovely!

Nice tips! 👍

Awesome!

Before your burnish those long miters, if you can, put a little bit of wood glue in the crack. It will help prevent the burnished part from ever opening up again at all.

great build...fun.

Great video! What are the measurements of the final product? I am working on making (2) 74" length x 8" depth and trying to figure out how much wood I will need and my cutting list. Thank you!

quedo muy bueno

I dig it.

Hey mate, first off, I absolutely love your channel. Damn, I'm obsessed. You actually inspired me to do a router table build which I just finished. The misses wants some floating shelves for the dining room and I was wondering, do you have any thoughts on using say a white oak plywood over solid wood? and 1/2" over 3/4? Or do you prefer hardwood? These will be 7' off the ground, about 9" wide by 36". And lastly how thick- as in how wide did you make your cuts? It looks about 3" wide? Thanks mate.

That's beautiful work mane the whole thing. It might be a shot in the dark but was you at WorkBenchCon last year in Atlanta?

Beautiful shelves. Being in a corner, the sidewall cleats help keep the shelves from sagging. I've noticed that it can be a problem with floating shelves.

@MichaelAlm

5 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yeah, I’m a big fan of putting them in corners whenever possible for that very reason.

Beautiful! How much weight can they hold with that thin of cleat system?

Beautiful kitchen Michael! I am amazed that a couple brad nails into those little 1” cleats is enough to support your floating shelves. Looks super clean! Any build videos planned for that built in buffet cabinet? Those French doors are gorgeous too - who makes them?

@MichaelAlm

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Steve! Yeah the key is for the cleat to fit really nice and tight to the channel, and having the corner support does a ton to keep it from sagging. I would love to do a buffet. I need to find a friend in town that needs one. Build ins are kinda my jam. The doors came from Pinky's Iron Doors out of LA. Not the easiest install ever, but they are good looking.

Are they really "floating" when attached to an adjacent wall at the end? Very nice construction. I've never been able to get 45° cuts to align very well.

Michael, I’m thinking of trying this with 5/8 maple veneer plywood to save on solid wood. Have you ever done it this way/anticipate any issues?

Wow

Michael - your accuracy is unbelievable. Thank you for your videos!!! Wish you success!! Only one question from my experience))) D you scan walls for the electric wires before drilling ?

@MichaelAlm

5 жыл бұрын

Hey Tais, Thank you! I didn't drill deep enough to worry about electrical wires. It would be a concern if you were putting large deep holes in studs. The code says electrical wires must be at least 1 1/4" from the face of the stud. On top of that you have 1/2"-5/8" drywall and 1/4" tile. So if you drill deeper than 1.5", you should scan your walls. Hope that helps!

keep on comming with the video's. Your voice is a releave compared to other video's were they shout out lout how cewl they are! Great job! 4:33

V nice work, did you only use 2 studs per shelf when fixing it?

Where did you get that black wood working shirt? I love it. Love your channel too. ❤️

Awesome video. Awesome trick with the screwdriver. Idea... stolen. Quick Question though... When you tacked the shelves up using a brad nailer, does that not pretty much automatically mean getting those shelves off, should she remodel or move, will be nearly impossible. No? Would two well placed tiny screws under the shelf not be a better idea?

This is the best shelves build i have ever seen. Very nice! Did u nail it top and bottom with a nail gun? Do u know up to how much weight can handles?

@MichaelAlm

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I only nailed the top, just in case it needs to be removed in the future. My guess is the shelves can hold 30lbs or so. More than enough for it’s size.

i just wanted to ask in terms of mounting the shelf to the wall, you used a nailer? just wondering what size nails and is that strong enough, usually just see people screw them into the brace.

Good

Can you share the stain type, stain color, and type of wood that was used here please?

He would need a different support structure. Something with either dowels or metal rods protruding to support the shelves. He did a video a while back where he builds floating shelves for a business. He used custom metal supports he had fabricated. But you could make the same thing out of wood with dowels as your supports.

Thicker shelves and thinner box material would allow you to make an “E” (with short legs) assembly bracket out of 2x stock that you could then set into studs with lag screws. The box carcass (1/4” ply top/bottom and hardwood edges) then slides over the bracket all the way to the wall. I did this on some about 2” thick, 8” deep and 4 ft long. Very sturdy. I stood up under one once and almost killed myself, but the shelf didn’t budge a mm.

Nice build! I have the same Mercedes car :) Thanks for sharing.

How do the shelves stay so stable with weight on such a small cleat? Will that work with deeper shelves?

What’s the final thickness of your boards and is it easy to remove? Great video and Chanel, love it

@MichaelAlm

5 жыл бұрын

5/8" thick. You could probably go thinner. These shelves could be removed, but there would be holes in the tile, so I'm not sure why you would want to.

Are you concerned about stability at all with leaving the inside unfinished?

How much weight do you suppose those could hold?

Is that a Quartz countertop?

What was the space between the top and bottom boards?

I'm skeptical that the screw anchors will stand the test of time. I prefer to locate a stud and attach my cleat to it.

How do you remove the shelves?

Hi, i have a question. Would the shelves stay up without the short support on the side? Have you ever done it that way? Nice video, i am glad i subbed. :)

@MichaelAlm

5 жыл бұрын

They might sag if you didn't have the corner support. If I were to fully float the shelves, I would build a littler taller cleat that had a bit of a frame built into it. The deeper the shelf the harder it is to stop it from sagging. Really deep shelves need metal rods drilled into studs.

Does there have to be a corner piece to hold the shelf or would just the one side work?

@MichaelAlm

5 жыл бұрын

The corner supports are definitely important. It may sag if you don't use those. If they were floating in the middle of the wall, I might beef up the cleat and add some arms that come off it, and slip into the shelf.

Cest joli mais votre tasseau au mur est un peu trop petit épaisseur!! Il y a très peu de tasseau a rentrer dans l'étagère!Tres bon travail.
