This tutorial was amazing!! Thank you kindly for sharing your expertise I cannot wait to build my first shelves. :)

Just as many expressed I love your way of teaching, I watch others but most of them have this "technical" talk that people in the industry understand but the inexperienced cannot follow, thank goodness you teach the way you do I love your videos I used one already to change a leaky water valve in the bathroom sink and followed you step by step as I did it, Thank You.

peter8488 Hi Peter, it's great to hear from you. This is why we started See Jane Drill, to help empower those with less experience to do their own home improvements. I'm glad it is working, and glad you are here.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I was trying to figure out how to secure the brackets evenly in an aesthetically pleasing way but also sturdy, not knowing how to work in the studs into the spacing. I hadn't thought about the snap toggles. This information was very helpful.

You're the gift that keeps on giving! I needed this for my project. Thank you!

One thing I do when hanging shelves is to count up the screws I need and press them into a piece of cardboard and spray paint the screw heads the same color as the brackets then they simply blend in with the bracket.

You are the real MVP! Hanged that shelf no problem! I also appreciate having a lady do this kind of video, it's very comforting and makes me feel more confident

This was the most informative video that I'm so happy I found!

Leah you did it again! I can so do this. I fixed the hole in my bathroom door after watching your video - turned out ah-may-zing! Then I learned all about tools and just when I need to hang some shelves I also learned a long level is more accurate, what a snap toggle is, how to make it plum (plumb?), drilling pilot holes AND what striking the line means. Good grief what bang for your buck! Thank you so much. My new quarantine home office is going to rock!

awesome video!! Thanks a lot. Six years after you made the video, I love this.

Leah I love your tutorial. Your instructions was very clear and you answered so many questions to my fears. For months I wanted to put up a long shelf, eight feet to be exact, for my books, but I worried about the weight of my books. I knew It could be done I just didn’t know how to do it. Thank you thank you thank you

Thanks! I have guitar holders for my walls that I tried to put up, and thought I had it in a stud. Luckily it only tore off as I pulled the guitar off for some practice, but it made me nervous about using them, which is inconvenient because the space they saved getting them off the floor was amazing. I'll look through more of this channel and try again I think. the hardest part is all the false positives in trying to find the stud

Always saving me!! Thank you so much for making me feel confident enough to do it myself

You are the greatest teacher...thank you so much for all you do!

Love your videos, they are always super helpful!! Thank you!

this video is so great! I usually do everything the lazy way however we just purchased our first home and I do not want hole all over the walls. this vidoe was so clear and concise I will most certainly follow your lead. I'm going to subscribe to your channel for more tips. this is why I had to become part of the you tube family. There's something for everyone.

you have a wonderful way of explaining not only how, to perform a certain task; but why. This makes a great teacher.

Leah, you are awesome!!

So informative!!! Thank you!!

As usual you do a great job showing the process without using complicated names or tools. But I noticed that on the first bracket, when inserting the third screw, you missed the stud!

Thank you Leah, that's confidence I needed. : 3 Now I need to buy a long leveler though.

Thanks for the detailed video! This is far more useful than most other videos, especially on how to find studs and how to hang a bracket where there isn't a stud. But some questions --- Can snap toggles be used with the common plastic wall anchors that you find at Home Depot? And do you recommend those plastic wall anchors at all? Some professionals say they're not strong enough. I don't want to worry about weight on the shelves. And how do you know what size toggle to get, 1/4 or 3/16?

I love your videos. I learn so much. Would you mind doing a video on installing backing for cabinets? You are an inspiration to me.

You're amazing I'm currently shopping for shelves for my limited editon disney dolls that aren't cheap and I want to make sure that the shelves I put up hold them up so I won't have to worry about the shelves falling off the wall and damaging my collection. Thank you so much for the tips I need to get a stud finder and recommendations on a not so expensive one??

nice job jane can I use metal anchors for a microwave? I only have one stud on a small location where I want the brackets and shelf? thank you.

You are AWESOME!

Super simple and easy to follow! I'm ready to set up my cat shelves now!

MrFurano Thank you! I will definitely let her know, she will be happy to hear that! :)

The walls in my appartment are not straight up and down. After installing angle brackets flush with the wall, then setting the shelf on the bracket, my shelf is always tilted forward, or back depending on the wall. Should I just shove a small chunk of wood between the bracket & the shelf? Not sure what the best, or should I say most secure solution would be.

This is great,thank you

You're awesome..thanks

at 2:18, you went from marking the wall to have those dark circles. What are those circles?

I need a shelf good for 80 lbs of my center speaker. What type of bracket will take the weight on a drywall?

Awesome! Can you speak to mounting shelves into drywall in condominiums? Which I believe are generally made of metal. How does that inform the steps I should take to ensure my shelves are secure? I would really appreciate this, or if you already addressed this in another video. Thanks! . . .Love SEEJANEDRILL! :D

Great video! Are you just using wood screws?

is the snap toggle the same as a drywall anchor?

How do you avoid hitting electric wire behind the wall if there is one? Stud finder doesn't help much with the precision we need

Life saver! Can I find strap or snap toggle at home depot? And how far do I drill the hole for the snap toggle?

@seejanedrill

7 жыл бұрын

You can find the the toggles at either home improvement store, You need to drill completely through the drywall to insert the toggle.

I don't have studs where I need to hang the shelves. Toggle bolts?

Can you please do a segment on drilling holes into lath and plaster walls?

hi how do you know how far away to place the brackets from each other? Meaning do you measure a few inches in from your shelf?

@seejanedrill

It isn't so much about the distance between the brackets. What you need to make sure of is that at least one of the brackets is (ideally) mounted on a stud.
