Basic Box Shelves | Custom Size them for Any Space

Things I used on this project:

Welcome to the official April Wilkerson YouTube channel. I’m April and I’m the creator of Wilker Do’s. I'm not professional or have any training, so I just pick the project I want to tackle and figure it out step by step. On this channel you will find a variety of content like DIY home improvement, How-To’s, construction and more.

Miss April, a little tip I read in a high end woodworking mag a few years ago, when doing those pin nails put down a little piece of painting tape and nail throw it then putty as well, that way you don't get the putty worked into the other wood fibers, just in case the putty doesn't take stain as well as the wood. Well done on this series as always. You are totally the best on YouTube ❤❤❤❤.

Your video production and editing is top notch! Much better than what passes on TV.

It’s almost on par with your design and build skills. 🎉

It's been a pleasure watching your videos and how much you've learned in the past few years! I just retired on Friday, I've been a custom builder and cabinet maker for 37 years. I'm amazed how many tips I've learned from you! Way to go April, keep them coming!

I really appreciate that you explain different topics well enough but not too much. An example is the paint talking about it being a byproduct of dairy. Enough detail without killing us with too much. Awesome work

I never found any Wagner product to be less than great. My cabinets are basically the same but i put a soft liner in the bottom. Excellent job thank you for sharing.👍♥️

I also make boxes like this with a recessed bottom and a cat's paw to fix them to the wall without showing screws. Great work April.

Awesome ideas, April. Really enjoyed this series. I am so inspired to organize and make box shelves. I also love your yellow workshop stool 🥰👍🏻

These floating box shelves look awesome April! They are the focal point of this build, and probably of your living room too! 😃👏 I smiled when you said your favorite way to hang shelves are with French Cleats. I remember in your first workshop you used French Cleats to hang your tool holders. I guess when something works, you stick with it. 😃😆😉

Fantastic ideas for my shop/man cave/garage/holiday dining room. I know that’s a lot for one space buts true. Yes it’s impeccable clean for all these functions 😊

[ColeSpolaric]

I can't wait to see this with the railing installed. That will definitely be the final touch!

[WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Your loft is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the great explanation of each step in the build. Thanks April…. Keep on building!

Good morning, April! This was a fun project and the box shelves look awesome! Always loved the idea of french cleats compared to other suspension systems. Thanks for sharing yet another great video! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead. God bless.

Another great video - as inspired by yours and other shop organization videos, I also use french cleats for shelves in interior parts of the house as well.

However - I had not thought about the flush mounting - then with the wall cleat slightly shorter for adjustment - yeah - that is a GREAT idea!

thanks for taking the time to make the video and sharing it.

I absolutely love all of the tools you recommend! Can you please create a new Playlist just filled with useful tools and how cool they are.

[BearCreekWoodworking]

I bought that same stud finder a few years ago on your recommendation April. It works great! I’m glad to see you still using yours too! 👏👍

[welderman]

That whole project, like ALL your projects, is beyond words!!!

Those two adjacent cabinets with slats really set it off! Nice
