- Floating shelves can be strong and built with few materials and no additional expensive hardware!
In this video, I am going through the process of how I start with standard 2x pine lumber, and turn it into a reclaimed look super strong floating shelf.
Tools mentioned in the video:
- Festool Domino XL

super clever idea using the domino to make shelves like this! nice work ronnie 👍
Thanks! It works great and is incredibly strong!
I love your cat & dog helpers ❤
Thank you so much for sharing. Nice to see a father and son working together 🤙🏼.
Dang, this was actually pretty cool!
amazing and simple
Nice little project. Very interesting to see how far you’ve come with your videos, as well. Precious that you get to work with your son. ❤️
Thanks- so excited he will be working with me half days next year during the school year. It's officially approved!
@@fultonfinewoodworks That’s awesome. I’m happy for ya. That should speed up the boat build. 😊
Sanding is the best part
And how much weight can it support just something close I liked for my dishes and very nice you are professional
Was literally considering doing this exact thing with my Domino XL on some white oak ply floating shelves. Do you feel this hold up well enough to support a reasonable amount of weight? few bottles, glasses, plates? on a 8-10" shelf?
It's safe to say it easily will support anything normal that you would place on a shelf. It's very very strong I like to place the dominos on the upper third so there is more flat contact below in the shelf seam for even more support.
Great video! I heard you mention this on the podcast recently. I have some floating shelves to do soon as well so it was great timing. Do you think the Domino 500 can plunge enough for this kind of shelf? In my application they are just for some pictures so I think I'll be ok.
I do think the 500 could pull it off what I would do different is plunge less on the wall side and glue that side in so you can use more on the wider shelf side. You could also greatly increase the strength by doing vertical tenons on each side if that makes sense. (Another way to explain instead of landscape format you change the domino to portrait mode) - you also could use a little more of them to add to the strength.
I just figured out what you meant by portrait mode. :)
Loved the video, I'd like to see if you have any tips or guidelines for kitchen installation, I would pretty nervous of hitting electrical or plumbing when driving that big of a screw in a kitchen. Kitchen build videos have a ton of views, but I feel that kitchen installation hasn't really been covered well. And not just for how to install cabinets correctly, but also things like end panels, trim, crown, scribing, etc. I have seen many comments on cabinet videos of people who have never heard of end panels, they think that carcasses have to be pocket screwed or else the screws will be visible.
There is a chance of more being in a wall in a kitchen without a doubt. I will be doing a video in the next few weeks or so about a tool that can help out with that. Stay tuned!
Note - I will be covering some of the other topics you mentioned in upcoming videos as well
All the minwax stains I’ve used off-gas for hours and I can’t imagine throwing a party in a room with curing stain. Do you have a trick for speeding up the drying process or was it pretty strong odor during the party?
I put a very light coat on and it was dry but the time we installed them a few hours later, the homeowner was going to install the clear coat after the Christmas party - I normally don't use minwax but that was the matching product I prefer Rubio Monocoat no smell, durable and 0 off gassing it's a linseed oil based product
I wanted to do with for a customer with 2x12s would weight be an issue with a 2x12?
2 x 12s will work fine I usually see 10" for shelf depth max though, I would make sure they wanted 12 however, is there something specific they want to place on there to make them the extra width?
@@fultonfinewoodworks thanks for the reply. They wanted them to hold plates so they wanted the deeper shelf. After speaking with them they decided the 2x10 would be the better option but thank you for your answer it’s appreciated
Cool method!
Check out my edgeband method! This includes the purchase of metal brackets, but it’s a cool plywood method where you can make multiple from 1 sheet.
would you pls post a link to edgeband method ... cheers
Does that table saw come in adult sizes?
Fun fact, I have a full size powermatic 66 5 HP cabinet saw next to me in that video but I just love this saw, push the button to adjust angle, blade height and even has a slider. It works great on a job site or in my shop. If I need to cut a full sheet I am using the track saw so this saw is perfect for most of the work I do.
@@fultonfinewoodworks I remember you had a real table in some of your other videos I thought because now that your a multi millionaire you sold your cabinet saw!
I am 65 work full time as a finish carpenter and just did a bunch of those shelf’s @ 2.5” thick with the finish ply trick. I do hv a domino and will try this!!
I use a DeWalt contractor saw on site w/a Gold medal tenayur blade (slaughter the name I know) .
I find that saw is tough , dead on and I really don’t mind adjusting stuff ? I know I can know it over pick it up and it cuts the same!
Knock that over there goes $25,000 !
And I work because I love to work and keeps me healthy and fit! I retired from my 1st career and I am ok? I hv been a carpenter (pro) 15 yrs now and hv no plans to quit , get fat , and drop dead on the couch watching Jerry Springer!
How much weight can it hold?
A lot more than will ever be placed on it, 75 pounds at least as a light as estimate but would not be surprised to see it hold 150 to 200
like any great artist, delivered wet! 😎
Ha ha so true!
Inexpensive hardware but a VERY EXPENSIVE tool.
There are alternatives to this tool, a dowel jig and you could even have pocket screws from the top of the shelf that connect to the strip attached to the wall. All of these methods will also eliminate the requirement of the hardware.
@fultonfinewoodworks Thank you. I'll try the dowels even though I have the Kreg pocket jig, I think the dowel will be more secure.
Again thanks for your reply.
I think you meant most people do NOt have these extremely expensive tools.
This is why I mentioned the same concept can be accomplished by using a dowels and a drill which most DIY people have easy access
A cheap method with very expensive equipment.
It's why I say same method can be used using wooden dowels and a drill, this is just faster
@@fultonfinewoodworks I must have missed that part. Thank you. I will give that a try. Cutting and using the same board really is a great method compared to what I’ve seen on RUclips for making floating shelves.
