I would love to see a LOT more videos like these and building, secrets for measurements, angles, etc.
And the way you route power cables!
@jordansteffen Yes, I've asked him for this too. He reads his Patreon comments so if you write this there he'll read it
Lol
Not to be that guy, but a lot of this is really basic stuff
@rtrogers1051 Hmm, his storytelling, message are not basic here.
That ad transition was very respectable
Just a simple suggestion: Mounting the shelf with the braces on the bottom side will be stronger, because the pressure from the load pushes the braces into the wall, instead of pulling on them.
Don't baffle us with your fancy physics about rotational forces being held in check by bottom mounted braces! The next thing you'll be telling us is that there are magical, sure-fire ways of being able to drill into a stud (first time) other than using a screw to randomly poke holes into your drywall in hopes that you will get lucky and find your target. Dream on buddy.
@@yoyopg123 stud finders are annoying as fuck though. if I was putting a significant amount of weight on the shelves I would use it for this, otherwise poking holes in drywall seems kinda fun.
Where the brace meets the wall, there's a bottom screw, and a top screw. No matter what, won't the top screw experience pull?
@@stephanesavoie7562 in theory: when you put a load on the shelf, this creates a torque. and that torque has its pivot point where the board of the shelf meets the wall. so if you imagine this torque creating a rotation, due to the downward force of the laod, it would pull out the screws of the bracket if mounted on top. if mounted below, the screws are pushed in due to the torque. in practice there is more to this though, and that could result in pulling the screws out even with the brackets mounted below. e.g. when the board is not mounted perfectly in level, or the board flexing under the load.
@@TheBPJo nicely summed up.
Been a minute since we had a build video. Love your method. Glad you're back Van.
Casey was def not lying abt how great of film maker you are. I can watch ur video thru n thru without any interest in learning how to make those things you build. Really really good
I’m fascinated someone as handy as Van is using Philips head screws in 2023. Those have been retired for nearly 20 years.
watch him make a video about a phillips head screw and why he likes them 😮
whats the standard then?
@@jamest3131 torx head screws.

Going the extra mile painting the cinder block. Like a ninja
I get you like how the shelf looks with the brackets upside down, but all the weight will be placed on the screw threads as opposed to being distributed across the top of the bracket. thus negating using the strong brackets in the first place
But notice at 0:20 how he is able to add a spring and string harness around the items on the shelf using the extra screw hole. Only able to do that with the "upside down" shelf method.
A nut and bolt would be more suitable. 1" length. Acorn nuts if you're picky about the aesthetic.
The weight is on the screws in the wall, no matter what orientation.
@@jokeal3613 I was talking about the screws through the bracket into the shelf
@@jokeal3613yes weight is the same but the force the weight applies is different. Right side up the bracket compresses against the wall and would fail with a high amount of shear force (not likely) Upside down as in the video the wieght of the shelf applies tension to the wall anchor making it more likely to strip the anchor out of the wall. Also as said above the head of the screw/ screw threads are supporting all weight placed on the shelf as opposed to the structure of the bracket supporting the weight and the screw keeping the shelf in place.
One might also say, "the ability to build a free-standing shelving system is the cornerstone of an organized life."
Or, one might also say, "the ability to build a free-standing shelving system is the corner bracket of an organized life."
One might also say "van's new schedule of bi-weekly uploads amounting to 50% less free content is horrible"
Is there a particular reason for having the corner brace on the top? Having the braces on the underside gives more room to place stuff on your shelve.
They act as bookends on the top of the shelves!
You can do either. Like it was mentioned, having it on top works as bookends, which is good for books. Having it on bottom has a cleaner look, which I like, if I'm just putting stuff and not books.
Having them on the bottom is theoretically better for drywall where there would be more compressive loads than tension loads.
@@ScottKraft also better if you are well anchored to the wall, say in a stud and putting something really heavy on it. In that case with the wood hanging from the shelf is testing the thread of the Philips screws into the wood. It’s always better for loads to be configured perpendicular than to be loaded in the direction of “pull out” on the threads. That said, it’s more applicable on bigger shelves with more weight, and what he’s done is fine even for books, so really it’s preferential
@@otter-pro Must have overheard that
This is the best home improvement video on RUclips.
This channel speaks to a part of my brain that I can’t quite communicate with in any other ways. There’s a wonderful relationship between careful organization, self-atuned goods, confident problem solving, and imperfection as a means of contentment. Fascinating. Im a huge fan of each of these videos. I find solace in your small thoughtful world.
I always love how you can make simple things like installing a shelf exciting to watch
if you want a little extra grip on older drywall you can also use threaded drywall anchors. probably best to use a pilot hole for those as well but they are self tapping. i recommend a pilot hole for everything
This video is so satisfying. I don't need to tell you how many ill informed tutorials there are online, never properly toeing the line between too much and too little information. This is perfection, so much so that the tutorial itself is like a work of art, every thought one would have following the process is accounted for, so thorough, so informative. This is the standard every tutorial should follow. I have no need to install a shelf right now, but when I do I know where I'm going.
Thise DIY gadgets/ furtniture and such is a thing I want to learn, I did not have anyone, and your storytelling is fitting for me so much, please make more. Thank You
It’s worth noting: when driving the tapcon screws in the concrete/brick scenario, make sure you switch out of hammer drill mode and bring the torque down on your drill (usually the ideal torque will be listed on tapcon package) to avoid breaking the head off your screw 😊
perfect tutorial, just flip your shelves 180 degrees, so that the shelf part has the most available surface area, and the support is below it, where it supports the shelf without occupying space
Unless bookends are welcome :)
its good if you want to make sure you don't hit things off the shelf
Trade-offs either way but I like the top bracket concept because you are already going to have objects on top of the shelf so the brackets don't impede upon a space that is outside of the functional area.
Can I mount the shelf upside down? So the corner braces are below the shelf and therefore less visible
I'm genuinely impressed you can unscrew wall anchor screws and tapcons. Solid leveling hack, that really beats marking four holes and sending up a prayer.
9:47. As a termite habitat protector, you may put delicious wooden studs inside the cinder block.
Hey Van, thanks for this video. I've been following your organizational videos for a while now, using it as a form of panacea against my ADHD, which is severe and uncompromising. I watch them in the hope that I can be as organized one day. In future, can you please make a video about your overarching psychology, especially concerning your organizational philosophy? I'd really really like to know how you tackle 'slacking off' on that aspect. For me, all it takes is one lapse and everything snowballs into a disorganized shit heap. Would love it if you could make that video for all us hopeless ADHDers!
Apart from being just another fine artwork of a video from Van, that was the most professional and well achieved add Surfshark is ever getting...
I was hoping you would do a shelf video for while. Thank you for this.
Dude, I love that all of your tools look like you use them!
I feel very anxious until Van uploads. This one does not disappoint. Love the Neistat building things videos.
The best studs finders : a very strong magnet.
Just search for the screws you're done.
Also, there is always a stud either left or right of an electrical plug or light.
I wish I've found a channel like this when I've started long time ago...
i have concrete wall and what i do is drill a hole first then use wall anchors then normal screws , man drilling in a concrete wall is one heck of a thing than wood but i love making custom shelves . the best part is judging by your definition at least i have the cornerstone of having a organized life . let's goo . would love to see more of your brilliance , you always enlight me and inspire me amazing , thanks !
This is one in the top 5 Spirited Man videos for me. Looking for change in my couch and car because I defineitly need that Patreon video and more of it.
I just moved into a new apartment and the kitchen doesn't have enough counter space so this came at the perfect time! Now I'll be able to install a shelf for more area to be used. Thank you
I just built a set of these shelves this afternoon. They even had the Cobra Porsche blue wall anchors in Australia. Thanks for the inspiration Van!
This type of video is something my soul needs. Please do more!
One of my favorite things I've ever built is a pair of shelves for the bathroom. I used recycled wood from an old chicken coup, and way-too-strong supports. They only hold toilet paper, but they could easily hold a child. I love the over-engineered nature of them. They'll never have to support 20+ KG... but they could if they had to.
why not install it upside down so the brackets aren’t in the way or are you using them as book holders?
@@peterellman9672 they are upside down, actually. The supports are at the bottom.
@@MarcosCodas I think I meant to reply to his main thread 😂. Good to know yours are on the right side, at least the side id think they would normally go
@@peterellman9672 haha no worries!
interesting to see how big the audience is for this level of sophistication. also, you installed it upside down but the top 2 pages of comments seems not to have noticed... Maybe your next video can be on they physics of fastener pullout of 0.5" screws vs 2" screws and why resting the shelf on top of the brackets is stronger and even more upper class and why the book ends can be made simply out of bent some sheet metal. You could also make the next video about the snippy comments are from youtube's audience of geniuses but that may require a 3rd video to remind everyone that half of us are below average intelligence yet our ability to figure out which half we sit in is fundamentally broken.
That advertising was so slick. Kudos
Anyone else keep checking youtube hoping that Van has uploaded a new video? Yep, me too. Going to enjoy these 11 minutes.
It’s a shelf video this time.
Even as a professional carpenter I still enjoyed this video because I like your videos. But I'm team square drive. Always square drive unless you're using deck screws then torx.
crazy how well Van is able to tell a story about making a shelf that's the most interesting thing on the internet
The stud and drilling info was very much needed. Thank you
If Steve Zissou had a shelf making video this would be it. And I would watch it all day)
The cool dad info I always needed, thank you!
Great video, love the ad transition, I watched the whole ad out of respect haha
the step for the sheet metal screw was very well shot, such a good scene!
Loved the model you made to see the inside of the wall!! Nice work. Great video.
This was such a good explainer video! More of these please!
Great stuff! I think this direction of DIY how to's is a smart and interesting evolution of your videos.
You made a film about a shelf aaaaand... I loved it.
watching your videos makes my life better in more ways than 1, thank you Van!
legend.. the turn of the drywall board was absolutely savage
I've waited so long for this video Van, thank you sir
I will be building some shelves this week...like a ninja! :)
Thanks for the video Van! Once again you've inspired me in more than one way.
You nailed this video despite sounding like you may have had a cold when filming. Hope you feel better soon. Neil
He did have a cold!
4:00 OMG the Stud Transition 🤯 F*** that was smoooth!!
My God man! This is the only content I want. This. This is it.
Man, your howey-dooey vids are the best! I especially appreciated the macro of the chuck tightening to the drill bit!
Using a magnet is a handy way of finding the drywall screws holding the drywall in place thus finding the stud they are screwed in to; alternate to stud finder and not destructive. Hope that makes sense.
My dad (a retired general contractor + amazing finish carpenter) taught me: use a magnet to find wall studs -of course, the magnet attaches to sheet rock screw heads. Do this rather than an electronic stud finder (even the better ones are often inaccurate). You must apply some common sense about framing; once the magnet sticks, follow down the wall in a vertical line to find other screws. After you mark first magnet/screw location, move 16” in either direction to look for the adjacent studs. With this, you’ll know for _near_ certain that you’ve found the stud.
Nice, tat :) to make it even more solid and permanent butterfly anchors for drywalls can be used as well
More of these please Van!
Yay! I finally get it now! Thanks so much!!
whenever I see you, I feel like you are very authentic with art man! There is a total authenticity in a person who really live art in their lives and that is a very subtle understanding(like nuance) and I see that in you. It doesnt matter whether you are doing big/complicated or small/easy projects, but I am in love with your authentic art which comes from the bottom of your heart. Kudos to you
It's not authentic, it is all tom sachs
This style is great. More ‘tutorials’ would be greatly appreciated.
Yes!!! Nice work, love the Wes Anderson's vibe. Keep it up
Absolute master at his craft. All of those tips were probably learned the hard way.
I never did this in my life. I think I gonna give it a try!
Nobody ever taught me how to use tools and such. This is great.
In UK those are called flanged corner brackets, get appropriate screws for it. For drywall I am a big fan of hollow wall anchors and using a setting tool, plus makes unscrewing a breeze. Needs a tool - but cheap £15.
been anxiously awaiting this video!
This was so incredibly informative. Thank you.
You are the absolute man, Van. You have unlocked so many Next Levels within me... I'm blown away. Inspired doesn't even begin to cover it. Please do not stop what you're doing. I'm slinging your videos out left and right, daily.
Thank you. Sincerely. Thank the gods for you, Van Neistat.
It’s always a good day, when the spirited man post new content! 🙌🏽
love this video love more of these every once in a while! not all the time bc i love the other narrative spirited man videos :)
Keep coming back to this video - sometimes for technical tips, sometimes for pure inspiration :)
Love these types of videos
Nice video. Do you know if shelves be stronger with the corner braces underneath the pine board instead of on top? Maybe the extra strength isn't necessary though judging from the cinder block standing test though lol, and it is a nice having the braces also functioning as book ends
Brilliant! Thank you for this video 😊
the supply list is so honest i love it
like A NINJA
You can use a strong magnet to locate your studs. The magnet will attach to the existing screw heads buried behind the plaster
This is your bread & butter Van. Once again, well done.
Wish this was a wall anchor sponsorship rather than a VPN, but both are still marvelous.
Do I need to create a surfshark account for every shelf I hang or just the first one.
😂😂😂
One for each screw so you can be sure you are well screwed.
Well played segue to the ad read 👏
Yes sir. Realistic life lessons. More please.
Anyone got any recommendations on drilling into a wall while also considering plumbing/live wires?
Been recently wanting to put an Ikea pegboard up, so I got a studfinder from amazon. The wall I'm trying to use is adjacent to a bathroom. Upon using the finder in its various settings, I've crudely mapped studs, wires, plumbing, but it all is kind of overwhelming. And I feel dissuaded from even drilling into it at all lol. Any kind of insight would be greatly appreciated!
In Canada we use Robertson screws, they are so much better, every time I have to deal with a Philips screw I cringe a little bit :)
Something about watching a good instructional video about building something is satisfying. Not as satisfying as building it. But more satisfying than most videos. Blank.
If I had known Ninja's possessed such great carpentry skills, I might have rethought my life trajectory! ;-) (also your channel easily ranks in my top 5 favorites AND I think I enjoy your contributions as much, if not more than your brothers stuff, which I hope is saying something!)
The Stanley tape measure joke is funny. If I thought I would even remotely have a chance to outlive you, I’d buy an old dodge van so I could put, next to the badging, “Dodge VAN (Neistat is dead)”
I'd love your input on Phillips vs pozi. Come on give us that video!
It's a shame most homes are built like that. Perhaps the best thing about my house (first one, big step, proud me!) is that it's all wood, everywhere, so all surfaces are ready to have stuff mounted on them. Gotta say that you, Casey, and Tom, have inspired me to build everything I can with rugged simplicity, and I don't remember but I'm sure that inspiration played a part in chosing a house with infinite screwability built in.
If you don't wanna play stud roulette you can thump on the wall moving horizontally until the wall feels a lot sturdier and is audibly not hollow. If you do this a few times and from both sides you can pretty consistently find the center of a stud.
the 0.9 mechanical pecin was "life changing" lol, tks
I'm hypnotized😮
Such an awesome video
Stud finders are nice and cheap and also prevent you from screwing into a surprise electrical wire
thank you for this
by minute 2:00 you already solved me 2 question marks in my head. 1st being the corner braces, I was born and still in Israel and we never get those lmao, I've been searching for these for ages for this purposes exacyly :D. 2nd being the Blue TapCon Concrete bolts, I had them for years since my last visit to the states. I've never knew why they are so good looking haha
What about if you want to install a small shelf in the bathroom and you have a stud finder but there is an electrical outlet nearby where you're going to drill your holes into the wall? Thank you for sharing. My Dad chose drugs and alcohol versus teaching us kids about productive things like this for your home. Thank you again.
father, that I always needed.
Genuine question. Why would you not mount the shelf with the corner braces being below the piece of wood rather than on above? Isn't it a waste of potential shelf space? I get having them above for something like books or anything that might need support on either side, but for anything else, it seems like a waste of shelf space to me if theres no technical reason. Great video though, well done.
THIS! SO GOOD !!! and the last one about driving stick, is the best type of both explaining, learning, video like this. I Love this shit, So cool to see (quite simple) tips and tricks one would need, from building a shelf, giving individuals their own appreciation of their finesse.(or lack there off haha)
