You obviously know what you're doing. So your hesitation and then burst of joy when the lights worked was relatable. It's nice that I'm not the only one who holds my breath b4 it all comes together😊

Pro tip, if you're going to paint steel pipe clean it with a good degreaser. Whether that be brake parts cleaner, acetone or alcohol. The pipe is oily and super dirty. If you try to paint over that you're gonna have a bad time.

I actually am in talks with the wife on building a new mantel above the fireplace. Perfect timing, I was going to weld together a system like the Sheppard bracket. The link in the comments is broken though and I cannot check out with the item.

On a serious note, I believe that what you did cutting out the drywall and mounting the shelves is illegal, at least in the last 2 states I have lived in. The drywall purpose is to add a firewall of sorts to prevent fire accessing the framing of a home quickly. By cutting away the drywall you now have exposed the inner walls to fire. Anyone reading this I would recommend checking with your local building codes to be sure you are not putting your home in danger or setting up code violations that will need to be fixed when you sell.

As always, very detailed video! Thanks!

Hello, what wood did you use for your box shelves? It looks like 3/4in maple plywood and what did you use for your edges? was it a 2x6 cut in half? thanks.

Halfway through and I like your trick with the screw driver rolling over the 45’s, great trick. Never seen it before. Guess that’s why I enjoy watching this stuff, always learning, thanks!

I'm loving this video. I've become a real fan of YouTube content providers doing "beginner to expert" videos. Question/comment: I'd like to hear your comments on how you dealt with pantry walls being out square. Did you correct it in the shelf 'ladders'? Or was it not enough to even worry about?

[FullyBadDad]

Ok, I am really happy you kept the blooper. OMG that makes it feel all the more relatable :)

[dokim]

Impressive workmanship and the tutorials are spot on. Thank you!

Good call on the friction fit for future electronics maintenance. You can be sure it will come in handy.

With the right tools, accurate execution of carpentry is possible. Congregations 👍

[dominiqueh]

Thank you for the tips. First time doing projects and I want to do it right!

[livingGod]

Love the progression between projects. Great tutorial!

13:02 When we renoed our kitchen, the carpenter (my FIL) bolted angle iron to the studs and we put in a floating 1’ deep counter top you could park a truck on. Since we tiled, we could just use plywood for the shelf.

What LED brand has those extension splices?

[Soandsoguy]

Well done. Lots of great info and your work process is very clean and thought out.

[stussymo]

I would suggest ditching the on/off button and using a motion sensing plug with timer, so the lights automatically come on when you walk into the pantry and auto-turn-off after elapsed time. Great video - I enjoyed seeing the beginner to advance skill & techniques! Thanks.

Wow dude, that was amazing! Got me thinking now...just glad my wife wasn't watching or I'd be out there in the Florida heat trying to build one now 🤣...maybe when the weather down here get cooler. Def bookmarked this video. I'll have to check out the rest of your vids when the wife isn't around...👍👍👍

Excellent, inspiring, thank you! Just a little comment here, regarding the jumper cables for lead strips: if you have an iron with spare 14 or + AWG cables (which can be found in almost any dumped electrical/electronic apparel, for free), you don't need to buy jumper cables, just a cheap 0.8mm to 1mm max Sn+Pb solder wire if you don't already have it (for domestic use, else having an alloy of Pb in your soldering would be illegal). Just make sure that the solder covers the contact rather than being the electrical transfer material in-between the contact, unless you use a wire alloy containing silver (Ag) but it costs more.
