I used pocket hole screws directly into the studs. Worked great for my floating shelf under my TV.

After only a few moments of watching...I hit the subscribe button! Excellent humor, content, and the watch till the end thing is brilliant! Do THAT on all your videos! Thank you for making me smile!

Glad you talk about the load the shelves can hold. Seems easy enough thank you for the clear instructions.

I have a niche like that in a hallway, only wider and no door. I decided to make it an area with shelves where towels, linens, and other sundries would be artfully stored. I devised this method with one addition. My shelves are both deeper and longer, so I added two supports, one at either end of each shelf, 2” back from the front of the shelves, sticking out of the walls 1/2”. I cut channels into either end of the shelves stoping just short of the front end of the shelves. When the shelves are pushed into place as you showed, those short supports at either end slide into the hidden channels and ultimately provide some side and front support. I used 1” thick hardwood shelves.
Excellent video! 👍🏻

Amazing. Thank you so much. I have been scouring the internet for a video like this to help me design bookshelves. This is it!

I made such a shelf, thanks for the instructions from Russia with love

Excellent video with great workmanship- thank you!

People are disliking this, not realizing you don't need your floating shelves to hold half a ton.

Great video! I too did some floating shelves in our linen closet. Similar to what happened to you, I assumed my closet corners, where the shelves were fitting snuggly into, were square. Unfortunately, they weren't square and required some "persuasion" with a rubber mallet. I also sanded the back edge of the wooden shelf so there wasnt a gap between the floating shelf and back wall in the closet. This DIY is a good one to follow for simplicity and attractive aesthetics. Cheers all!

great down to earth approach, regular tools and relatable problems haha

Straight to the core and easy instructions. You made a heck of a pantry (with style too)!

I took your idea and executed on my apt’s entrance foyer.
3 Maple wood planks 75” x 10” x 2”…stained them the same color as in your video, and added 4 LED puck lights (AAA batteries operated) (2 per shelf) and it looks amazing.
I decorated them with 10” Chinese terracota warriors, horses & certain special history books.
Thanks for the cool, practical and yet strong idea man.
Cheers from NYC 🗽.

Love love, so easy to understand how to do this. Actually doing it is the tricky part lol😂 (I will be the one with protruding things in the wrong wall etc). I’m going to give this a crack and will gift myself the right tools, because I deserve it. Brilliant thank you ❤🎉

I enjoyed this video, as I enjoy hobbies from other countries.
My father was 1/2 Swedish, so seeing video from Sweden was especially interesting.

👍

Appreciate this great tutorial on how to make floating shelves definitely will be making some..

I have your video a like… you deserved it!

[mukundjoshi]

Thanks so much for the basics of the process 😊. Was able to use it to install live edge chestnut wood shelves to showcase my wood carving figurines. Only major difference being having a brick and mortar wall to drill into 😅

I've been putting old roof beams straight onto brick and block work using this method. It actually helps if the holes aren't perfect as this makes them hold really well, though a mallet is required. You could use resin but it might be a bit hard to out again. I like the technique of getting rod into wood, that's going to be useful at some point I'm sure.
