MY PODCAST (Next Door Neighbors Podcast)

My wife suggested this weekend that we should look at putting some floating shelves up in our living room. The next day you upload this. Its like fate!

I really liked at the end when you said "Go for it, learn something, take something, be frustrated and take it to the next project." Rebuilding everything in the house myself has been extremely frustrating because there are so many small oversights and subsequent trips back and forth to the store to make sure it's done right, it's overwhelming. I have spent more time in the store trying to find things (with employees who don't really know where or what things are) wandering aisles than I have actually building or replacing things. It all comes together in the end, but it has been frustration level 9000 after seeing people build the most beautiful intricate things online without smashing/pinching/cutting their hands, 10 trips to the store for one project and more swearing than when I hang out with the military boys with no wives present.

I made the intermediate shelf! I’ve never done anything like that but I followed your video and made an 8ft version.

I’m very proud of the result and my family is really impressed! Thanks so much for making this video!!!

Would love to see a weight test on each method!

Miter should be 45.5 degrees. Allows space for excess glue to go. Also increases closure on joints

Outstanding video! I'm finishing up a kitchen remodel in our 1860s home. We planned to do floating shelves instead of upper cabinets. I've spent a lot of time watching videos on the variety of methods people use. I was leaning towards #3 but now I'm convinced and ready to tackle this. Thank you

I was actually just thinking of making mini floating shelves as a nightstand/sidetable 😄this is perfect

[chiefsmash]

So, I've been building the "pro" shelves for years, never even crossed my mind to use tape to hold the joints together when I'm nailing them. I usually just use the old hand clamp, so thanks for that tip. For those building them, if you use a pin nailer instead of a brad nailed (the glue is what holds it together) you will eliminate 90% of you filler need. Thanks for the videos Alex, keep em coming. Happy New Year.

Excellent video to kick off the new year! The little bit of extra work for the #3 advanced is well worth it. Looking forward to your 2022 episodes!

I am a beginner and really appreciated how detailed you were. This was incredibly helpful! Love the tips!

[debby.kassay]

This is one of the BEST DIY videos I've ever watched. No "umm"-ing, well edited and even inserted some "oops" corrective segments. GREAT instructions, presentation and diction.

[Rmksmkdindjnenidisndj]

Wow! Your garage workshop is dreamy! It’s so organized and it’s even painted!

[kxmap]

Awesome stuff here! Totally doable, relatively affordable not counting the tools and note to self; do not test fit the advanced level shelf to the wall bracket!! Went from up here to down there!!

[Julius]

I've watched a loooot of Youtube for DIY'ers. The is one of the best made, most useful videos I've ever seen. No fluff, entertaining but perfectly applicable. Liked and subscribed.

Heads up: walls aren't always flat.
I like the maple shelf, that's really cool. So the only thing I'd add is to first hold a long straight-edge against the wall to make sure there won't be a huge gap. If there is, I guess the best approach is to fill it in with mud, texture it, repaint, then get on with the shelf.

[BiggDogg]

I had neve thought about making a full frame for the insert, I have just used the struts on a base and attached it to the wall. Pre-drilling makes sense, thank you.

[mrdoodles]

Aight I'm ready for 1 & 2 but need to upgrade my toolkit for #3... thank you! Great insight into this sortof project!

[sailor]

I found this instructional video very easy to understand and am anxious to apply what I learned. Great job!

[FamicoYT]

I spent a Saturday making 2 floating shelves for my office! Thanks for this video, man. Very helpful.

[SparkAli.]

That was so brilliantly shown. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm so excited to try out all three shelves myself✨
