Okay but can these shelves hold the weight of your ego?
As below, thanks for not editing out mistakes made on builds. Most of what I (we) learn is from mistakes made and also adds a bit of entertainment at your cost..😂
Buddy, whenever you wonder if that is the correct profession for you: I am an amateur woodworker from Germany. Yes, I have lived in Canada for one year (in Kingston, ON) so I am able to follow english speaking channels, but other than that I just appreciate your presentation of very relatable woodworking challenges AND solutions for not 100% perfectly setup woodworking shops (or whatever that's called). You are instantly likable, relatable (is that even a word???) and are an important part of my woodworking inspirational routine. Please don't doubt yourself! Kind regards from Germany!
I can’t deal that a floating shelf video is so interesting and I even learned something. How dare you combine entertainment and education. 😂 great video really.
Here's a tip for the lagbolt style. Take a rip of plywood of any thickness and dbl stick tape it to the wall where you want the shelf. Align the top of the plywood where the top of the shelf will go. Drill holes and thread lags into the wall. Cut-off heads, now remove plywood and you have a template for the shelf with bolt locations
The second best thing about this video is the self-deprecating humour. The first is your woodworking skill. Thank you.
As always, thank you for the insights, the ideas, but also the humility and the humanity. I feel like so many of the woodworking channels are so far beyond my skill level that even though I love to watch them, I can’t relate to their work. But when I watch yours, I can see myself in you. Thank you.
You were meant for this John...totally engaging, entertaining and educational ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nice looking shelves! Pro tip on the installation of the second set. Put down a drop cloth when you're cutting the bolts down unless you like shiny bits of metal in your carpet.
In most woodworking videos, I'll pick up one or two tips that make it into my notes, but I got five solid tips from this one. Great work!
I’ve used that lag bolt technique myself, and it’s my favorite way to do floating shelves. Amazing how strong the shelf ends up! Sometimes it’s hard to find those big lags in the right number locally. In those cases I used concrete form stakes. They are big metal spikes. You can slightly under drill the hole, then drive in the pointy end, and they’re not going anywhere. They even have little holes predrilled that you can use to secure the shelf with tiny screws. They are also usually cheaper than lags if you’re doing a lot…
I just did my first floating shelves with integrated book reading lights last month and measured the studs wrong, almost had to rebuild the whole thing. This video would have saved me some time!
Points for your Dad for being there and helping in a way that is legitimately helpful!! I am a fan.
Great info-taining video - again. Thanks. As far as making simple mistakes, you have a lot of comrades. Recently, I built my grandson a treasure box for his shelf which included a non-removable secret drawer with magnets to keep it closed. After I COMPLETELY finished the box, I realized I had installed the magnets with matching polarities. Instead of holding the drawer closed, they kept the drawer open. I knew better. I tried to fix it, but ended up cutting the box into pieces and starting all over again.
Get excited when I see you upload a new video. I really like your honesty on projects. Makes it more real and relatable. Please dont stop. Cheers
Great video Jon! Really appreciate you show 3 ways! The lag bolt method is very nice! Great job on the continuous grain shelves (regardless of the issues!).
Awesome video, Jon. I echo many of the comments below...really appreciate you including mistakes, which helps the commoner avoid them. Also, running the ad while still showing work is a good way to keep watcher's interest. Finally, providing three different options, based on skill level, helps to engage varying levels of watchers. You rock, dude! Keep doin what you're doin!
Your channel just popped up on my YT feed. YT must be reading my mind as I've been thinking about doing some floating shelves. (and, no, I' 've not searched for anything on the topic). I'm not a good woodworker, but I am good at visualizing something and building it without making any drawings or plans. I love your presentation, tips, etc. I build a lot of things from salvaged/scavenged materials, and my shop is more of a sculpture/fix-it shop, so figuring out ways to make something with the tools at hand is SOP.
OK, I love the Stair Step Measurement guide idea. Never thought of that before, Love the 3 inch thick shelve and how you made the back fit the imperfect wall. Also showing your mistakes is very helpful - not that I would ever make a mistake myself. A lot of good material here.
I love the intermediate idea! I put a pair in our kitchen for my wife and man I have an amazing system that came with the shelves to mount it, all welded etc..but I overpaid...I'd have done htis if I saw it first.
