7 Foot Long Solid Wood Floating Shelves | How to Build and Install
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Thanks to Moosehead Breweries for partnering with me on this project! Moosehead is on a mission to inspire and motivate Canadians to cross a task off their to-do lists - and earn a Beer With Your Name On It. I received a lot of submissions for what I could help you build (and get YOUR Beer With Your Name On It!). In this DIY woodworking video, I’ll show you how to build solid wood floating shelves and how to install floating shelves using floating shelf hardware. Long floating shelves can be a successful DIY project using the right hardware!
There are a lot of shelf support brackets available on the market and it’s hard to know what to choose. I chose these ones for a few key reasons: weight capacity 100lbs+ (each extra brackets adds more capacity), you can anchor each support independently into your studs, and they are designed for a shelf thickness of 1-⅛ to 1-¼ inch.
So, what projects will you tackle? Remember to post your accomplishment on Instagram before the end of summer and tag @moosehead, or simply visit beerwithyourname.com/ for a chance to score an actual beer with YOUR name on it! Must be of legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. #Partner

Last fall I bought a bunch of aromatic red cedar and had to do some substantial planing to get it where I wanted it (I was building a blanket chest). I did almost all of the planing over one day (to get it over with) and went straight into panel glueup, and was very very mad at myself a while later when it was all uneven. I assumed I messed up the planing, even though I thought I'd done it right. Now I'm thinking I did - I didn't let it rest between sessions at all, and it is humid as hell in Houston even in November. Thank you; I have learned something very valuable!
Your shelves look great, as does your desk. You do fantastic work and are an inspiration.
Nice work, I liked the router table use to cut the relief channel on the back.
One word - impressive!!!
I don't want to be the person trying to remove those shelves.
Great job and a beer well deserved!
I REALLY like working with Ash....I just wish it was available near me!
Very nicely done Marie. I especially liked the stud finder and drilling holes in the edges of the shelf tips. They will help me a lot. Merci beaucoup!!
Awesome, happy to hear some of the tips were of value :)
I LOVE MOOSEHEAD!!!!!!
Great job, Marie. The groove on the back was brilliant.
Bill
Thank you! And OMG I was dreading the thought of cutting out all those by hand with a chisel... Work smarter they say!
Also gives opportunity to scribe to the wall!
Marie,
Great 👍 job on someone who doesn't like to install things on the wall. 😁
Right?! Sincerely dread it... Maybe that's I why I put off this project for so long. But had nothing to worry about! These are rock solid :)
Looks amazing! Very over-built for the amount of stuff you put on it though. Haha. That's not falling off.
Haha that's just temporary staging for the viewer's benefit ;) Wait until I load these up!
New to your channel. Nice work! I have a home office and several slabs of maple from a tree we cut down in our yard. Thank you for the inspiration. Wonderful work!!
Beautiful work Marie! Enjoy your personalized Moosehead. This is a sponsor I will support.
My Montreal condo was built (I suspect) without the use of a tape measure or level. The studs are randomly placed and the walls are not vertical either. Also the studs were not installed with all the crowns in the same orientation. But this condo is better than my previous condo in Verdun that used pressed paper instead of drywall.
Ugh, tentest...I just removed the last of it in my lasalle duplex.
Hate that stuff.
Love the color😍🙋🏻♀️
Nice job! Great tip using the router table to route the mortise in the back.
The shelves turned out SO nice and look great above your desk! Loved your idea to router a dado on back to accommodate the brackets without doing each individually. Thanks for all the tips!
WOW! what a great job. Thanks for the extra details on your milling process, I did not know about the importance of taking equal amounts off each side/face, or to do the milling over a few days to let the wood reacclimatize. I had warping trouble in the past on re-sawed projects, now I'll no better for next time.
Glad to hear that part was helpful because I considered cutting it out!
Yep yep yep this is WAYYYY better then i can do (no lazer) 🤪 I’ll look up that stud finder mine is giving me a headache . I was using a finish nail 😂😂 Thx for sharing “THE GOOD WAY” to mill the lumber finaly a DIY that knows what she’s talking about ! 🫵🏻👍🏼👏❤️🇨🇦
Very nicely done. Looks great!
Your garage looks rather small. Like a cramped Mini Cooper shed. But clean, organized and well lit. Very impressed by the project. I'll be checking your content for ideas. Thank you for posting.
The shelves look great and the instructions were precise and clearly stated.
Thanks for the video. I always look forward to your build videos.
You always make it look so easy. I love the color of the shelves
Another great build by you. As usual, well explained and and nicely completed. Congratulations, your office looks special.
Nice work, Marie.
Super smart Marie, great job 👍👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Nicely done. Great tip on the milling process. Other YTubers have videos on milling but never mention leaving time for the wood to recover. Also, great use of your shop space & equipment for milling 7ft boards. Watched your dust collection video and I can see how that paid off for you. As for the Moosehead... having a lot of college flashback. Drank my share after hockey games & practices. Not Canadian so I guess I'm out of the contest. Aloha...
This was super helpful, especially when I start building my studio spaces!!!!🤍❤️
Really fantastic work, Marie! Nicely done!!! 😃
I'm starting to think about making my PC desk +/- like yours!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I'm personally really enjoying this setup. Spend many hours at this desk. And now even better with the shelves. Makes it feel complete!
Looks great! 👍😏
Nice job on the floating shelves Marie! Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP
Superb Marie! Really enjoyed this video!
GREAT job Marie. Also, the dado on the back is a real timesaver and a very smart idea! !! !!!
Very good, too bad we can't find some of these accessories here. Congratulations, I look forward to more videos
Great job, shelves look awesome.
So good Marie. I liked your process and extra tips, making this a very satisfying journey. Thanks.
Great video, wonderful suggestions and the process very doable. Hot Glue has so many uses just like wide blue/red painters tape Thank you for sharing this with us today from Henrico County Virginia. You darn Canadians are awesome, stay safe and healthy.
I am about to install 3 floating shelves. This was so timely! Excellent job, and very well explained. Thank You!
Haven’t watched you for a while and first time I looked at your description. Love that you list the chapters. Thanks and have a great evening
Perfect timing! I just got asked to build and install two floating shelves! Thank you!
Great explanation of the reason for trimming equally. A lot of people don’t bother. Thanks for that. Awesome shelves too by the way.
Being a novice woodworker I really enjoy your videos and how you make things look easy. Thank you for helping a rookie do right. 😊
Awesome job. I have the same stud finder that you used last that gave you the best results....best stud finder ever.
Wow such an amazing job. 👏
Nice job Marie! Those shelves came out amazing. :-)
You deserve a cold one after all that hard work.
I use a simple magnet stud finder in conjunction with the last one you showed; they haven't failed me yet.
Wow!!!! New Tools too!!!!! Very Cool Video!!!!! Well Done!!!!! Thank You!!!!!😲🛠👍😎😃🤘
The installation was spot on. You seemed to have breezed through so many of those finicky things , any one of which could result in frustration and cause you to lose patience. Very nice job, Marie.
Superb. So many good tips in this video. Going to use at least all of them for my own upcoming floating shelf project.
Brilliant work again Marie. I really enjoy your videos and work. I especially appreciate your easy to follow steps, tips and tricks of the trade. I recently installed some shelves in my granddaughter’s nursery and they are no where near as good as your floating shelves but they are functional and I was pleased with them. We all have to start somewhere I guess, and I certainly don’t have all of your shop equipment, but we make do 😊. Keep the content coming - brilliant 👏👏👏
Excellent job - the support jigs you made to aid in holding the shelf while you drill is such an amazing solution!! So clever; I'll be copying it :)
Well done! Super informative
I didn't know you partnered with Moosehead, it's my beer of choice for 15+ years.
Hope you try the terrace, I never have because I was too exhausted riding my bike back home lol.
Great project. Thanks for sharing and Best regards from Germany. 😊
Very elegant. For the life of me I can’t understand why the bracket manufacturer suggests max 1.25 inch boards. It all comes down to the weight it carries (whether it’s wood or picture frames. Lol). Enjoy the beer!
The thicker the board, (or denser material), the higher the dead load, resulting in less capacity for storage load. Imagine a concrete shelf versus hollow box made out of plywood. Think of the number of beers you could store on each.
@@jeffbaker8808. Agreed.
Great vidéo, merci pour ce partage, salutations de France
A perfect example of a talented creator whom NO ONE cares is a woman. Terrific explanations and fun to learn from!!
Wow.. amazing 👍👍
Good work! great info, thanks for sharing!
Way more work and tools than I have but I appreciate the great instructions! ❤❤❤
Nice! They look perfect 👍🏼
Unbelievable good job 👍 but also so much work
After seeing David Picciuto do his smaller shelves I was tempted to try it, but seeing yours and how "tight" they were going on I'm going to pick up some. Those look great! I have to call shenanigans on how square everything was - that's just impossible! ;)
lol if it makes you feel any better there's a bit of a bow in my walls so while each end of the shelves touch the wall at the back, there's a slight gap at the midpoint of the shelf. Nothing noticeable once you've got stuff on the shelves.
I was a bit surprised at how loose the hardware was in the holes when you drop in a single rod, but it's really tight once you've got multiple bracket installed on the wall. Had to really fight them into submission!
Nada en la vida es perfecto, así que una repisa un poco arqueada no debe de ser una problema. Lo bueno es que quedó perfecta. Saludos!
Very good vidio the shelves look great
Thanks!
Very nice!
Congratulations Marie. I like your work and the way you do it (woodworking and videos).
Small idea: You could make a shallow groove in the lower part of the bottom shelf to install a LED strip. I also appreciate the links concerning the tools used and by checking the price in Canada and here in Europe, I wonder why it is so expensive here in Europe !
It's a good and easy process to install.
Perfekte Arbeit
I really like Ash, it's a bit temperamental as it can be a bit finicky (cracking if not drilled before screwing, and like you experienced, it can do a little dance after milling) and if staining. I built my Grandson's crib from Ash and it turned out great. I love your desktop and shelves. Such a great complement to one another. I built my Granddaughter's out of Oak.
Excellent 👍👍👍👍
Draws! (just kidding) Great video!
lol! Been a while since I said that ;)
Hallo,
Wie immer Super gearbeitet.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Germeny
I have the same morbid fear of mounting stuff to the wall, only here where I live in South Africa our walls are all made of brick and mortar, so putting the holes in the wall is my biggest issue. I almost always mess it up! But then lately I have been using my late Dad's Bosch hammer drill and WOW! what a difference that thing makes. I mounted a massive boom arm to my studio wall a couple of days ago to hold one of my softboxes and so far it's held up OK. 😬
Nooice!
Awesome😍😍😍😍
🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Going to be building a wedding bench for my son and new daughter in law wedding for guest to sign if they wish it will also have their name and wedding date on the backrest so I will be using the plaining idea
Nice! Congrats and good luck with the build!
Like the excuse for use coz I have many tool never been used.
Well done.
Awesome. So after you initially milled the wood, let it acclimate, then milled it again, is it fairly safe to assume it won’t warp again?

Drilling into walls is, for me, a nightmare. So I'm very impressed, nice looking ash too. Will the full length routed groove in the back effect the structural strength at all - with less connection between the wall and shelf?
No the groove is barely deep enough to fit the thin plate. Won
I’m trying to figure out how you used the router but to shape the edge. I’m a beginner I just need to learn more haha.
Good
Very nice Marie, my hat's off to you. Wish I could do the things you do. I was always interested but never had the opportunity to learn. Love your work!! TFS
I have a project, an old door facing the exterior of my garage which hasn't been used for years. It had a wooden face which has rotted over the years and it's an eyesore! Not sure if I should replace the door (small sized) or just have it refaced. Any thoughts?
That's very kind of you! I keep pushing myself to learn and do more and even surprise myself on a lot of projects thinking wow I did that!
I'm no door expert but I would think replacing it is the easiest/best solution.
@@DIYMontreal Thanks so much Marie! I envy you. I have the interest but am lagging with age. I will have it replaced. lol
Great job. Love all your videos. Here in New Zealand we use metric measurments. I'm a little less familiar with unmetric. But what kind of measurement is 6/4 & 8/4? Is it 1 1/2 & 2?
Yes exactly. 6/4 = 1-1/2 inch. For some reason they refer to rough lumber that way here.
I have a 12 foot span I've been tearing my hair out over. I want to do solid pieces so I can put a live edge on each one to match the desk but this just seems too daunting. You made it look easy though and I have most of the tools you used so I might have to give it a go.
Hey Marie, do you had to sand the osmo in between the two coats? Thanks.
No need
Where do you buy your lumber from in Montreal?
Yeah IO like iteventhi inching is fun.
Hi! I loved your desk and love the shelves as well!
May I kindly ask your chair brand and model? I have been looking for mesh seat and back office chairs, but been unlucky.
Human scale Diffrient if I recall correctly. Extremely comfortable even for day-long sitting 👍
@@DIYMontreal Thank you for your kindly response. I will certainly look at their models.
The photos of chair don't seem to show any part that provides lumbar support in the back. Is the mesh in the back tight enough to provide sufficient lumbar support?
@@veremlim yes it is.
Is this Osmo matte or glossy?
Quick question, what if your wall is not straight? How would you have handled scribing the wall?
I would look up how to scribe lol. I know Jason @bourbonmoth put out a video on how to do this (that I have yet to watch)
...and of course, someone has to congratulate you for doing it by yourSHELF. ha ha.
Hi Marie. Do you have a link to the studfinder?
All the links can be found in the description. Here's the link to the stud finder amzn.to/3Pon60x
sembra la stanza di un catalogo, tipo ikea ^^
For as many rods as you used, I was expecting more things on the shelves.
Just staging for now; the books and marble statues to follow ;)
Too much expensive tools what 😦
