Thank you! A project I want to try!

Great idea 👍best I’ve seen

Brilliant

Ty!

great idea! how much weight can each shelf support?

Nice

👍

I’m going to use 1/2 inch dowels just in case …

Why no Ryobi clamps in varying sizes?

But how far down do you drill the holes for the dowels??

I believe he drilled down 4 inches. Then cut the dowels 4 inches.

What wood?

How do you get all the holes for the dowels to be co-planar? Without a drill press, I mean.

You may consider marking your drill bit with a piece of painters tape or a black sharpie. Drill down to that edge of the tape or black sharpie.

@@woodyswoodworx3534No, I mean the holes and the screws have to be lined up perfectly along their length. If not, the tip of one screw might be at a different angle from the hole, and you'll never seat it all the way.

Yes sir. Sometime later I submitted that comment I thought, no he asked about “coplan” not depth. My apologies for not thinking it through. Great question. I will try to check back from time to time, hoping someone will give an answer. Like you I do not have a drill press.

@@RussellNelsonI believe that is why he sanded the dowels. There should be some play ideally. He recommends wood glue if they have too much.

I like this.. wonder how much weight it could hold.. wanted to put two computer monitors on it..and maybe the computer itself of course. I would have to make it a little wider. What would you suggest to make it stronger?

Instead of the wooden dowels you could put metal all thread and epoxy the hell out of it and be all set.

Yeah...don't use this method for holding things like computers. They make steel brackets with steel rods, specifically for floating shelves. They're much stronger. This method _might_ work if you use hardwood dowels and glue everything really well. Steel brackets _will_ work, without any issue. It's not worth it to save a few dollars, if you end up having to buy a new computer.

No way that would hold enough weight to be useful other than for picture frames.

What can you use to make them stronger?

Build a floating shelf for under $100 Step 1: purchase about $1,000 worth of tools

That would cost maybe $15 to make.

Strength framed around screws and dowels? Get real
