Also, if you allow me a suggestion that I regret not having done this on mine as well, put a LED string on the upper side of the top shelf as well.. as you could see in the last pic at the end when you turn off all the lights and just turn on the shelving lights, the upper side of top shelf is dark. But as always, great execution and awesome craft, Alex. You are the best

Looks great, but I would have also added lights on top of the top shelf to add some glow to those plants as well.

After studying your videos and calculating our space where we want floating shelves...We are going to attempt at your floating shelves this month- you make it look easy! Thank you so much for the links also... wish us luck!

Looks great!! You could have just plugged the driver into the outlet and hid it under the desk and only ran the low voltage wire up the wall to the shelves. Would have made the install a little easier! You can get LEDs with a wireless rf dimmer remote and mount the holder to wall. Next time 😉

This channel and Drew Build’s Stuff have hands down the best DIY content. Another great video as always!

Honestly, I like your RYOBI shop. Proof to all that "price of tools" doesn't equal skill in the shop. Thanks for this video.

I like that you aren’t afraid to say you made a mistake, show it, and then correct it. Some YouTubers are so fake and will not share that. You kept it real the whole video. Good work!

Beautiful job. only recomendation is to add leds to the top of the uppershelf

[brixx]

Man I love you videos! As a first home buyer last year I have been using your videos as a staple for inspiration and ideas to make my house a home! Thnx 🤘🏾👹 keep up the great builds, looking forward to the next video!

Nice job and thank you for going with long mitres! Looks great with the bright, warm glow of the leds

[raq]

Loved the way you made it Brother. Genius at work. Great JOB ! :)

[DaveOrrico]

Nice work! Why did you have the LED strips facing down instead of up? I was anticipating that you'd have them face up and at the front edge of each shelf simply to highlight the items on the shelf.

[rickyleavitt]

Can you please do a video where you show exact measurements of the floating shelves and also how you made the router cuts. I'm having a difficult time making the side miter cuts line up. It's either to long or to wide.

I used those diffusers on light strips outside and a rubber mallet works great getting those covers on. Nice shelves!

[AVIAMediaGroup]

Super cool build 👏
Question: what was your reason to put the led strip closer to the wall vs closer to the lip 0f the shelf? I’ve seen them done both ways and am trying to figure out what would be best for my project. TIA 🙏

[matthewholt]

I did this exact project over my wife's craft desk a few years ago, except I routed a channel for the LED's so they didn't go all the way to the ends. I also used plexiglass that I sanded as the diffuser, which allowed it to pick up some of the gray stain and blend in. She thought it was ridiculous until she turned them on. I should have had the camera rolling to catch her telling me I was right, then maybe I could get away with a few more things in my projects haha.

MOVE THE COMPUTER ! So much dust just went into that one xD

[PixlPutterMan]

AWESOME, should channel in an LED strip on the top of the top shelf to light up the items on the top

[allieleblanc]

All the comments were making me think it was gonna look bad when he was done but it looks amazing! You see the strip of lights but they still look amazing!

[Life.behindthecam]

Love this.. any chance you can upload this to your site and get the plans...lol!
