What wood did you use??
Finally! Something that is easy, straightforward, minimum effort and tools. This is what I call a DIY project for the average bloke! Thanks.
I've been using pocket holes for the past 30 years and never thought of using it for this purpose. Job well done. will use this in the near future. Thanx
That’s awesome! Glad I could show you something new! Thanks!
I’m so excited😃finally I found a tutorial for a floating shelf that I can install myself.🤩🎉 winner winner! This guy is amazing
Best video I have seen for floating shelves , simple easy no fuss clear and precise 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice Job Blake! I was looking for a quicker way to make floating shelves! Saved me so much time and money !!
Impressive, especially that it uses simple tools that one could get easily. Keep sharing more shelves for kitchen and bathroom 💪
I am so excited. This is the best video I have seen and I have looked at a dozen. We are going to make a fireplace mantle using this technique. It won’t be holding more than 20 lbs. I am going to distress it and stain it black. I will post it when I am done. Thanks for using normal tools.
That sounds awesome! I’m glad the video helped! Good luck on your project and let me know how it turns out! I’ll be excited to hear about it!
And all this time I've avoided doing floating shelves because I had to buy the right metal rods for support and ensure they align with the wood stock...wow. Thank you for showing such a more efficient way of making these.
Anytime! Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
@@BlakeHQ .. .
Don't do this. Get the rods. Once the wood drys and shrinks, those screws will get loose and it will sag. Also that corner edge can break away, especially with the pocket holes on top. Plus pocket holes should only be used when used at BOTH END OR SIDES to keep boards/shelves from twisting. This is a bad idea.
Just wanted to give you a big THANK YOU!! I used this video tutorial and your other video to make a set of 27” and a set of 24” long floating shelves. I used a 2”x10”x12ft douglas fir green lumber from Lowe’s (the usual stuff they sell on the floor). The pocket screw idea worked amazing well. The 2”x10” shelves do not have any wobble/movement/sagging. Solid. I used the 3-1/8” GRK screws you rec from Amazon. Appreciate you very much. Got to stain the shelves the colors we wanted and saved hundreds of dollars since solid floating shelves are very pricey online and doesn’t always come in the color you want. You saved me big $$$!!!
Did you also follow his advice about not drilling all the through "so the screws will hold the weight of the wood without cracking"? I only ask because what's that mean exactly, like the drill hole is 1/2" from coming through the end, 3/4" or 1" just curious thinking about trying it myself.
@@geico1975 yes don’t drill all the way through. If you use the pocket hole jig tool, it will prevent you from drilling all the way through anyway. The pocket hole jig tool has a stopper that prevents you from drilling all the way through so just be sure to use that.
LOVE this video, made my own today and they did turn out great but a little wobbly. Used the same screws you did but the only difference is I used 3/4” thick wood instead of 2”. Still functional and great for what I need them for but curious if me decreasing the thickness of the board is what contributed to the less strong hold as my German Shepard couldn’t even stand on mine without it falling out of the wall. Again, perfect video and perfect tutorial. Thank you so much!
I love the simplicity of installing these shelves. Thanks a bunch.
No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed!
WOWWWW!!! SOOO EASY !!! Best idea iv seen,,thanks 4 videos!!!
life saver. most diy floating shelves found on youtube were very complicated. this is very simple and does not required many tools
Thank you! I hope if you end up installing them and they turn out well for you! I appreciate your comment
Finally some doable DIY. I really like the use of the classic hand saw 👍
We just put up a 8 foot floating shelf this way and it’s great. So easy and very reasonable. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Glad it turned out! Thanks for the comment!
Great Job! I have many of those screws in my Garage but never thought of using them that way. Thanks for posting.
Thanks I appreciate! Yeah they are awesome screws and work great for these shelves!
@@BlakeHQ t29yty9995009
Soo much easier than the other ones I’ve seen.. thanks for simplifying it..
Such a neat job. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your future projects.
This is one smooth tutorial. Thanks for sharing Blake!
Thank you! I appreciate it! Glad it helped!
Hi, Blake jolly good show. Simple explanations and demonstrations. No unnecessary gabbling and hand gesturing. Well done old boy.
Haha thank you very very much!
That’s perfection. Thank you!
Wow, you made this look very easy. Gonna have to try this out for my first project. Cheers 🤙
Cheers to you! Good luck on the project! Let me know how it turns out!
Awesome job like the way you explain in detail
What a fine job with less efforts. Thank you
That’s for watching!
Simple and effective, the weight test was a nice touch.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Nice Job and a Great Idea !!! But im an Old Guy i Still Use a Horizontal Ledger, and Gussets That would Hold 500 LBs maybe More !! Your way is a Very Decorative Look !!! and it Does Look Very Nice !!! iv been Making Sawdust for over 65 Years Now !!! i Even Helped out Building of the Ark !!!
@@rogerhegemier8491what do you call to havw holes in the wall tomake it stable
Thanks, that looks so easy and that's exactly how I'm going to do it!❤😂❤😂
nice！m looking for a solution for my router and other things, kids always want to reach them, then found this one, I'll give it a try, and it seems nice!
Update, I did one for my router, and it looks great. I just bought a new Kreg jig and the drill that comes with the kit has a length indication, so you don't have to make a guess which is good for me(new to the woodwork and no sense for length ). Hand saw a 2 by 10, 8 ft long and cut a straight-line was a challenge, and I would make an investment for an electronic saw and sanding tool later if I have more woodwork. But, your method, still, I think is one of the best for beginners like me, not too many fancy tools, but get the job done nice and easy! thanks a lot! looking forward to learning more from you!
This is just brilliant, thanks!
Looks like that actually could work I already have a pocket jig ,going to try it ,and definitely more strength with screws on top
Hey thanks. Nice way to put shelves on the wall . I like your work.👍😘
Thank you! That means a lot! 😊
I had no idea that the shelf would support that much weight. Good demo!
This is just amazing! Thanks for sharing !!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for giving me an idea of keeping my CD player and two small speakers on the wall. As my apartment is quite small now I know how to place the CD player on the wall. Thanks again.
No problem! That’s a great idea! Hope it works out well and let me know how it turns out! Thanks for watching!
It worked well and now I'm enjoying the rock music from the CDs and my wife is going crazy of the sound. Anyway, once again thank you so much for the advice.
Awesome! Glad it worked out! Thanks for the update! I love hearing about everyone’s projects!
Thanks for the video, I'm getting ready to give this a shot. I'm a 30 year retired Paramedic; reading a 12 lead ECG, working a multi-patient scene, no big deal. This.......this induces stress, lol!!! Your video helps tremendously!
Simple and beautiful ❤💖💝👍
You're the best and simple 👍
Seems pretty easy to do. Think I will try this in my garage
Yeah it’s really not to difficult and the look pretty nice! Go for it!
Good explanation, thank you 😗✌🏻
No problem! Glad I could help! Thanks for the comment!
Thats awesome! I feel like i could maybe build something too ive use a circular saw and cut all the pieces but didnt exactly know what I should make . I like the floating shelves they are great looking low profile clean lines nice!
I am so exited, thanks a lot of your ideas and your information
No problem! Let me know how they turn out!
Thanks I was looking for something like that for my TV 📺
First time I ever saw a Craigjig Nice Work👍👍
Thank you!
This IS AWESOME !!!! THANK YOU
You are very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed!
*Good stuff! Thanks!* 👍
So simple!!!!!! I love it!
Thank you!
Amazing #you are hard working# plz made this video for our motivation
i bet running a router on the edges would make this look even cleaner. great job and thanks for the tutorial!!
Absolutely! That is still one of the tools I need to get! Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!

I found this to work great with2x8s 2x10 max 2x12s will sag for 2x12 s rod is best to use . Also I learned if the shelf doesn’t look level is because the wall not level itself. Nothing a few shims couldn’t couldn’t fix in my house To hide shims under . Nice 1/2 inch corner round molding around the shelf took care of that .thanks for vid
Wow sounds like you did your research great job! Glad it turned out and thanks for the comment! I love hearing about peoples builds!
I was wondering about 2x12, so thank you for this comment!
Brilliant job 👏
Thank you again!
I am surprised with the strength of this shelf
Welldone
Thank you!!
Awesome video!
Nice work 👍👍
I will also try to do it since long back I was thinking of getting shelves done
Yeah you should! Let me know how it turns out and if you have any questions!
Awesome, this is very helpful, keep it up
Thanks I appreciate it!

Using your link to buy.
Thank you for your support! Glad it helped!
Nice job
Wow thx great video thx for this blessing 🙌 😳
Great and easy
Omg thank you!!! I’ve been trying to find a floating shelf solution that didn’t require me to build a 3” thick hollow shelf lol.
Awesome! I’m glad you came across the video! If you end up doing it, let me know how it turns out! I would love to hear about it!
Very nice
Well done, didn’t think it would hold that much!
Thanks! I appreciate it! Yeah they are pretty strong!
Thank you brother 👌👌
No problem thank you!
Great video... The shelf looks plenty strong... Do you think it would work with standard wood screws?
thank you so much for this
No problem! Thanks for the comment!
This was perfect
Thank you! That means a lot!
Very nice, I'll be doing the same thing soon.
Awesome! Let me know how it turns out!
Trent when you Start Cutting up the Wood Go Outside, you'll learn real Quick cutting in the Garage makes For Saw Dust EVERYWHERE !!!! Even Gets into the Living Area !!!! Even when it was 10 Dees Outside, than i would Bring it into the Garage for the Assembly !!! Your Wife will Be Happy Also !!! DUST DUST DUSTY Holy Moly the Shit would Be Everywhere !! Remember a Happy Wife makes for a Happy Life !!! I Even had a Nice Size Work bench Outside !!!
Thanks! Didn't know that would hold 100+ pounds.
When using pocket holes you should try to use screws that have a flat head (not your typical wood screw that has a wedged). The flat head will sit better in the pocket hole.
I agree, I just didn’t know of a screw that was that thick and that long! If you find one let me know, I would be interested in trying it!
Greetings from the Pacific Islands 😃😃
Thanks for watching! Crazy that videos will go every where! 😊
This is much more doable for this novice than anything else I've seen. Please share link to the clamps you used to hold that jig. As well, where do you get the stick of wood you used to fill these holes after you mounted the board to the wall @nailed it?
Thanks
Nice tutorial 👍
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Love the video!!! I would like to put up 2” x 12” shelves over 10 ft in 7 studs. Do you think if I use GPK number 9 5” screws and set my Kreg at 2.25” that would work?
You could have used the blue outdoor Kreg screws. An alternative would be to use cabinet screws which have similar heads to Kreg screws and are designed for similar forces.
Love it!! Great job!!!

Good job👍👍
Thank you! I appreciate it!
good insight cool video
Amazing brother
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I like that video ❤
Nice thanks i got nice idea i salute you
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. Also, what is the attachment for your power drill called?
Love it
I love this! : )
Thank you!
@@BlakeHQ You're welcome! : )
good work
Hey thank you so much I really appreciate it!
People on Reddit are very against pocket holes for floating shelves. I mean.. I get it, pocket holes probably were not intended for this type of application, but your stress test and long term update are really convincing me that this is the right approach. The naysayers dont have anything other to say than -- it just won't hold up.. with no real evidence like what you've presented. Argh, I'm so conflicted. Thanks for the video though, what to do what to do 😁
Well I mean the worst that can happen is you don’t like them and just take them down! Up to you!
Excelente!
Thanks so much for this! I tried doing it but my walls are so hard to drill- Could I pre-drill the wall in a way that would fit the pocket hole angle? thanks!
Amazing 👍
Thank you!
Cool vid, calm voice. Subbed.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
good video
Nice sharing
Thank you!
Oh man brilliant and saves SO MUCH TIME!!! Thinking to drill the screws on the bottom instead of on top..then no need to hide the holes...btw what drill guiding tool was that?
