    They're beautiful, and I like the template for the keyholes. For smaller things with 2 mounting holes, I take a photocopy of the back and use that to get the placement.

      That's a great tip. If I had already made something and needed a copy they that's a smart move. I try to remember to make a template while I already have my tool set up.

    Wow, the round overs really made this project pop!

    • @NewtonMakes
      @NewtonMakes  3 года назад

      I think so too! I liked the style in general but then after it was rounded over it went to a whole new level.

    I like the design and choice of wood.

    • @NewtonMakes

      Appreciate it. The design formed on its own as I messed around with material. I let it do its thing.

    That design is clean and killer

      Thanks! A bit different than usual for me and I'm so glad that I did. I may want some other rounded pieces in my future.

      Much appreciated. And my desk is not as cluttered. It was getting unruly with all of my "precious" artifacts. 😂

    Very impressive shelves. Clean and minimal. The round over profile and winged-accent at the horizontal-to-vertical transition look great. Well done.

    Those are awesome! Great job! Also, great way to introduce the idea of cutting a template for the hanging. It took me back to watching late night TV during the 90s!
    Keep up the good work, love your videos!

    • @NewtonMakes

      You can buy template for the low low price of absolutely free! Callers are standing by.

      I'm really happy with the finish, especially the speed of the application. It made that walnut come to life.

    Those are really sharp looking. Now you got me thinking how they would work for corner shelves. 3 brackets total. One near each end and one in the corner to support where the shelves are mitered together. Thank you for sharing.

    Hey Newton, great build, really nice design. Walnut was a great choice. Amazing how much weight those joints took. Thanks for sharing

    • @NewtonMakes
      @NewtonMakes  3 года назад

      That was fun. Obviously not scientific, but it was scientifically awesome!

    Love the design and the build!👏👏 Is there any chance to be able to buy the plans for this one?

  • @Azurko
    @Azurko 2 года назад

    Very nice! I might borrow the idea but use either maple or ash for the shelf itself, just to have some contrast.

  • @justinbyers1441
    @justinbyers1441 3 года назад +1

    Bro that's freaking awesome right there, super stronger than you think, it always amazes me how much stronger your work is then you think, great video and really like the design 👍 👏

    • @NewtonMakes
      @NewtonMakes  3 года назад +1

      I think we as makers generally over build stuff. Nothing wrong with that. I knew they'd be strong enough, but I was looking at that prototype and started wondering about how strong it really is. Might as well waste an evening figuring it out! 😂

  • @marklandree2413
    @marklandree2413 2 года назад

    Very, very nice! I wonder how much more weight they could handle with the installation of keyhole hangers, not that it seems to be needed.

  • @UserError7861
    @UserError7861 3 года назад +1

    Amazing looking shelf.
    Could also do through holes between the brackets for the wall mounts, if you didn’t want the key holes. But looked plenty strong during your test with key holes.

  • @artvandelay7537
    @artvandelay7537 2 года назад

    Awesome design. I wonder how that would look with maple shelves on the walnut brackets.

  • @tutzking3318
    @tutzking3318 2 года назад

    wonder how thick is the walnut shelf?

  • @jessemkahn
    @jessemkahn 3 года назад

    what would be the strength if you cut the whole bracket out of a single piece of wood?

    What is the purpose of the blue tape on your router table?

    • @NewtonMakes
      @NewtonMakes  3 года назад +1

      It prevents my router lift from moving up or down due to the vibration of the router.

    • @pteddie6965
      @pteddie6965 3 года назад +1

      Hey, Tim. I have the same router table and Billie has come up with a simple solution to a big problem with this table. If you are routing several identical pieces at the same setting or perhaps even one long board, the setting that you have set might change slightly due to vibration. A subsequent version of this table has a lock for the setting, but a piece of blue tape is much cheaper than buying a new router table. See, Billy is not just another pretty face!

    Your fingers got a lot closer than I’m comfortable with during the pattern routing. I would at least use a push block.
