I'm a complete novice at DIY, but really don't want to be reliant on others, so want to undertake some DIY jobs myself. Your tutorial was really helpful. Wish me luck

To those new to DIY projects. Save money by using your cellphone and not buying a bubble level. Smart phones have built in gyroscope sensors. You can find a good bubble level app for both iPhone and Android phones.

You get an A++, concise, and you covered everything including spacing your brackets which I couldn't remember, so BIG thanks for this! 🇨🇦

Thanks. I'm going to put up two 48 inch shelves in my garage. I'm a 78 year old woman with limited experience but now I'm sure I can do it. Thanks for your guidance. I appreciate it. Never say never!&

The tape around the bit and cardboard over the anchor are actually great ideas I'll use from now on . Ive been doing these types of jobs on my own all my life and I've never thought of those ideas . Thank you

Very clear and helpful information! I just adopted a cat and really want to build him cat walks, but I have never done anything like that before.
Love the tip about using carboard as a wall guard, it's so simple but sometimes you just don't think of something like that until the damage is done!

Awesome video. I have been looking for a video that I thought would be easy enough for me to see the step by step directions, also hear what was being said. Very helpful. I am ready to hang my floating shelves.

Excellent, perfectly explained, will be watching this when I put shelves up for the first time ever

[MYMusicMYLove]

This video was amazing. Thank you. I feel ready to add my shelf

[MrsAlexisAgnew]

Great explanation, and pro tips! :)
Side note: it's so interesting listening to a Brit describe the DIY process using his native words! 🤓 I never realized you call them different things across the pond.
