I’m a new woodworker- learning great tips from you. I’m planning on building floating shelves/drawers in my garage shop. You are very knowledgeable with a warm personality. PS I’m a 70 year old woman who has always been a tomboy. Now I’m a tomboy with a table saw. Lol
You go girl!
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
“Cut away the drywall and mount directly on the stud” - and the fog cleared and I never saw the world the same again; new options lay before me everywhere I looked.
O...M...G...I've seen the light!!!! I know right!
This is so awesome. I am thankful for anyone that shares their thoughts, gifts, talents and their videos. Thank you!!
lol yeah...unfortunately I live in an apartment and I'm pretty sure they'd be pretty dang pissed if I cut a square out of the drywall. XD
I just shared this with my husband and he nodded approvingly and he never does that. I see much fun in our future.
@@gjstevens1141 A little wad of paper towels and some spackle before you move out and they'll never know. As long as you match the paint.
As a long-time teacher, I am super-impressed with your VERY clear explanation and teaching stye. You could jump into a classroom and be a star(but of course, you already are). Would be a blast to take a class with you. Kudos Jason!
Love you’re teaching style. Very clear and all the good tips. I watched this because I do -exactly- the same thing, even have my own brackets made up by a local welder - very similar to yours but a longer tail on the plate to help prevent leverage issues. In the UK most walls are plaster on brick, but I still strip the plaster back to sit the plate on brick. I backfill and decorate before measuring and drilling the shelves. I also make solid shelves which you could park a truck on!
I am so glad I found this video, I have these floating shelf brackets from Rockler and was planning on attaching them to the studs through the dry wall. Thank you for pointing out the obvious - duh, drywall will crush.
Great video! Hung many different various brackets over the years, but the individual brackets work the best! And cutting into the drywall is the best way to assure it’s not going to sag much!! Your a pro!! Great video!👍🏽👍🏽
Been a subscriber for months now and this video is one that I have returned to on several occasions as I will be starting a project to do a floating desk for my daughter's house. Great job, thank you for the clear explanation and process; even a newbie like me can do it!
Great video, awesome explanation. Drilling that perfectly straight hole looks way easier now
Amazing that you can make even ME feel like I can do this!!! You’re calm yet energetic, and smooth at teaching, yet funny!! I’m a new subbie, and SO EXCITED for more ideas and videos....thanks so much Jason!!!!
Once again, Bourbon Moth comes through with the right video! Of all the floating shelf videos I just watched, your method was the right combination of looks, safety, sturdiness and hardware. Thanks again, you rock!
Great video, loved the trick about cutting away the drywall. Definitely will use that on the next set of floating shelves I do. I had a local welder whip me up some very similar brackets.
Great video as always! This is super helpful for me. We are hanging five floating shelves in our house, and this video couldn't have been better timing.
Great video. I learn’t a lot.
THIS BUDDY DESCRIBES VERY PERFECTLY NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO DIS..THANX BRO
Thanks, I’m going to be installing old thick barn beam shelf’s in my new house. This by far the best way!
Thank you. I have been trying to figure out how to add 3" thick white cedar shelves to my wall. If I used underneath brackets they wouldn't be spaced evenly. Now I am so excited to try this. Your explanation on how to do this was spot on. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I loved everything about this video - watchable length, great technique, linked tools, delivered by a lovely personality. Thanks for the video! Super helpful!
He's easy on the eyes to, isn't he?
Great video and first class way to install. Never have seen it done this way, the best for sure! Thanks for posting
This was the very first video I watched of yours a year ago when I was preparing my home for sale. AWESOME and I've never looked back. Have learned a LOT from you! Thanks man, cheers!
You just rock. completed the cabinet 3 part series as well, now ready to start my kitchen. Everything is now so straight forward for me. Will be building my box joint jig from your video first. I absolutely love the company logo and video intro music.
Very calm and clear explanations with no irritating music this made me subscribe
Thank you for simple and straight forward instructions. I CAN do this! New subscriber!
Very cool. I did something similar with a French cleat cut from a 2x4. Screwed into studs, then the box slid on the cleat which was then screwed from underneath. 3 ft shelf, held a lot. I like the brackets you used.
I was glad to see this pop up after the box shelf video. I really need to replace my floating shelves! Thanks for the smooch.
This video is fantastic. Clear, concise, and I so appreciate you demonstrating each step clearly and logically. I'm about to attempt floating shelves and feel much more confident after watching this. Thank you.
How did your project go? Did you use a kit?
Wow anything. Ty
Oh pls send me the link for the brackets
Just a work of caution to check for wiring and/or plumbing running through wall studs. These are typicality run through bored holes in the middle of studs. The 2” screws will short a wire or puncture a pipe if present. Good info on installing the floating shelf.

If it's done right, there should be a nail plate preventing a nail or screw from entering that stud. But that might not always be the case
@@Axertion nail plates are only required if the wire is less than 1-1/4” from the face of the stud. National electrical code.
Don't know about US regs, but in UK, you wouldn't be allowed to run non-conduited cable horizontally at that height as it's not a designated 'safe zone'. That said, you can't be sure that some nutter hasn't done so!
I have a stud finder with a voltage sensor. It won't find a water pipe though! Better hope someone built it to code but you know how that goes.
Just a little tip I like to do - I fabricate my metal base plates as 1.5” round. Hole saw but goes much easier to hide the plate in the shelf then router/ chisel combo. Love your channel!
This guy is awesome, he isn't just great with woodworking but he is very good on taking you step by step on the procedures and he always seems to be having fun doing it.
I was curious how those floating shelves hang seamlessly on walls. Glad to have found your video. Great informational video bud.
I saw lots of floating shelves,BUT this is the very Best I've seen so far!! In my tiny book, Dude you RULE!!!
Awesome breakdown of a Solid / Simple Layout - for great shelving Potential to ALL! Thanks for another rad video ...
Nodoka Woodcrafts you betcha
Thanks. I hadn't thought of using those brackets before. Prior I had built skeletons and then a panel to slide over them, but this let's me utilize my doweling jig.
I watch, alot of build and repair content, some how, I really enjoy your videos. Great job, we appreciate your contribution.
Love the tip about cutting away the drywall.. makes perfect sense you will get more stability securing to the stud.
they look great, now all I need is to practice until I can install them as you do! Thank you for this video!
Jason, all ur videos have a different flair to them. I enjoy ur clowning around while getting ur point across but also really like the plain and simple instructional videos like this.
Great Video. Have a client who wants these installed and for my first time this gave me all the information I need to do the job confidently.
Enjoyed your shelf repair. Wish I could talk that good.
Love your Instagram content, so I am happy to see you making more on RUclips as well. Keep it coming!
Excellently presented and produced. Clear step-by-step directions and no loud teeny-bop music. Thank you.
Nice! I work at a steel fabrication shop so I can make my own brackets. I'm an industrial painter also so I can paint the brackets and the shelf too. Thanks bro!
@bourbonmothwoodworking this tutorial is great and I appreciate you making it. Just a word of warning if you aren’t going to have custom made brackets to exact measurements and are using stock lumber (1.5” thick), the brackets you buy online (I purchased the ones in his description) you will have gaps above and below your shelf that you will need to patch as the brackets are just slightly larger than the lumber.
Everything about the tutorial is spot on though, even when you are wingin it and find your drywall is held up by furring strips on concrete and you gotta adjust on the fly 😂.
Did you mount the supports against the 3/4 furring strips or to the masonry? Did you have CMUs or solid concrete? Thanks for any advice...
So calming. Great tips, Jason.
Thank you! Great video - concise and to the point with easy to follow, clear instructions!! I've been looking for a video on how to do this!
BRO!!!! You just changed my whole outlook on the floating shelves I was going to install in my office. Game changer right here!! Thanks for the tips you gained a new sub! I’m gonna buy some merch too appreciate ya
I'm a simple man. I see a new Bourbon Moth video - I click it. Great video - thanks for the tips.
If I'm fitting floating shelves to brick or blocks I use half inch threaded rods tapped in to the wall and shelf, works fine into studs too.
Hey, I'm looking to hang some floating shelves in the kitchen into a concrete wall. Do you use an anchor or epoxy to hold the rod into the brick? Any tips would be appreciated
@@kiedobull7251 just a reasonably tight fitted rod into the wall and shelf should be enough, I use some tiny wooden splinters if I have too.
Just remembered you may want to remove the shelf at some point which can be hard enough without glue, sorry for the late reply
@@dancingfrogsxb1276 Thanks for getting back to me
I've seen adds for these shelves but never cutting the drywall out. Great idea. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks for taking time to explain the process with little tips and tricks!
Great explanation! Gotta get me some of those brackets.
Thank you...Awesome
A lot of the same stuff floating around in RUclips land. Great to see something different.
“Floating” nice!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am always a big fan of sharing knowledge with others. We would all be in a much better place generally speaking if more people did that. The wife has some honey dos for me and this is extremely helpful.
Getting ready to install shelves. This video was very helpful in considering the floating shelves option.
That was the clearest explanation I've seen yet on how to get those right. Imma following
Those steel brackets are great - but be careful with a 2"+ screw - there could be wires or water pipes that run through the centre of the studs (code allows for this, meaning it could be as close as 1 3/8" away from the front edge!) Nailplates would likely only be used if the hole was closer than than 1 1/4" from the front, so the long screw is strong, but a tiny bit of a gamble if you're not sure what's back there!
Hey contractor here. You'll know if there's wire or pipe running through something typically wire is not run any higher than 18" for outlets and approximately 42" for a switch. If wire is being run it will be about level with the outlets. Typically wire is run down the side of a 2×4. So in other words you will not hit a wire unless your electrician was on crack. As for pipes the only pipes you should find in a wall should be around anything that requires water. Pipes are run basically from a to b "path of least resistance". Here in Florida it's buried in concrete or run through the ceiling down to your bathrooms and kitchens.
@@chandler3992 I know a lot of electricians who are on crack, though. 😁
@@chandler3992 Thanks for the tip, this is always something I worry about. Would you say this also applies to apartment buildings? My worry is about anything that may be run vertically for the units above or below. I would guess not, but really I have no idea.
@@SpenserFL normally yes but I can't say every apartment follows code because I know some real slum lord's down here in Florida who look for the cheapest guy. Generally speaking though they will follow the same guide lines I gave.
Amazing !
Just exactly what I need to learn about floating shelves...
Great video! I've been anxious about hanging a floating shelf but watching this video made it relatively easy.
Never thought about cutting out the drywall.. Great tip and make a ton a sense.
Agreed but you definitely need the oscillating saw you can buy them from Harbor freight for as little as $20!
Using the doweling jig as a drill guide was pure genius.
Just tried it, and love it.
I've been looking for a reputable person to tell me how to do this. Glad you have a video on it!
Nice.. was looking for an idea for my daughters room shelving.. now I have a good idea. Thanks and keep it up.
12:12 most relieving back crack ever
I feel like I’ve discovered this channel before it blows up...
Love the simple way you explained! Would show how to built and installed a hidden draw sliders.thanks Josh Martes
You never disappoint. Would love to see an entertainment center build. Keep em coming. Great job!
Never thought to cut away the drywall, doh. Great Tip and thanks.
You’ve got a great channel going Mr. Moth. I appreciate your humor and laid back style. I wish happiness and success in all you do.
Oi You are the man!! Thanks a ton for these new vids. I made some killer box shelves this week using your tips and bam they are bloody awesome! From Mick in Australia.🤙🤙
Very good idea on space usage . Procedures easy to follow. Clear and accurate. Will try it. Good job.
“Bang away, Bang away!” 😉
We lived in a house with floating shelves. It was haunted. We moved to another house where shelves don't actually float in the air. Now we're no longer frightened.
🤣🤣🤣
Badumm tish!!😑
You had me there for a second🤣🤣🤣
@@amaj_lex me too, though there was another story developing within the actual floating shelves video. 🧐🤔
🤣
I bought a bunch of floating shelf brackets a few years ago at a Rockler store. I'm happy with them.
I like your sense of humor, it makes me want to watch more of your videos. 👍
My grandson just started welding as a trade. I have a project for him.
Title of video: “DIY Floating shelves”
Presenter: “I have these brackets custom made..”
The rest of us: 😒
Awesome, I have to install some floating shelves in a few days. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Stay safe and God bless
Ironworker Doug here; glad I came , come that sounds wired, across your channel, love the boat 🚣♀️ videos , but this floating shelf one , get it floating,Lol , like it a lot! I’m going to weld up 🆙 a lot of those puppies , incorporate my iron working skills with my new wood working hobby skills. Thanks for your videos !!!
Owner watching you hang from the shelf like 👁👄👁 lmao!!!
I am now staring at my floating shelves and judging them... harshly...
Hahaha... sorry... not laughing at your pain
Careful you might get canceled!

You make everything look so easy, kudo's 2 U.. Thanks for sharing..
First, love your channel! Why? Well stuff like this is why. Your ability to break complex tasks down to the essential, simple steps to complete is next level teaching for sure. At 68, I'll never be a pro, but I am getting smarter, thanks for that!
growing up never had a male figure so now i have been watching everything to learn and teach myself how to be more self-efficient when it comes to manly things...hahah
New series, "Will I fit ON this?"
Nice work man
These are great! So glad you're making more videos!
Well done man, takes skill and practice to have clear and tidy videos. Totally appreciate it.
Easy DIY shelf, step 1: have brackets custom fabricated for you...
If Justin Bieber was a real man, I think this is what he looks like.
Wow that was awesome content, I am totally impressed! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Always loved your IG but super pumped you're cranking out RUclips videos!
I felt uncomfortable with the kiss you blew to me... Fortunately my wife wasn't in the room for that...
HEART BREAKER I little bit violated for sure.
Mr. Moth, thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge on floating shelves. I wanted this beautiful pair that I saw a while back, but did not buy them because I had put some up the old way, and they literally fell off the wall so I decided these were not for me. BUT NOW, "LISTEN TO THE ANGELS SINGING " YOU HAVE SHOWN ME THE WAY!!!!!!! I FOUND THAT SET OF SHELVES (AFTER ALL THIS TIME - THAT WAS LUCK) AND I AM BANGING AWAY, JUST BANGING AWAY! THANKS DUDE! This was very simply illustrated and very helpful! Cutting the small piece of drywall is MAGIC.... I really learned something new and I'm excited about doing my shelves this weekend! THANKS AGAIN! I just subscribed!
Great video of showing how to re-do something (correctly). Good pace, explanations and demo of techniques and use of tools. Thanks - learned from this.
Great job of explaining the entire process. Watching high quality shows is the only reason I watch these videos.
Excellent way to install floating shelves, thanks for sharing. Greetings from northern Mexico.
Thanks for showing us amateurs how to do this! I know so little about renovations and/or repairs!
Great ! Your badass! My friend !
Going to this next week I slump Glass bottles and I have about 1000 plus this Floating shelf best idea ever for me .. I can load bottles on each shelf and a bracket twice the thickness of the shelf to keep them in place
Thanks Brother
Genuinely impressed to see him hanging off the shelf. 😊
Enjoyed the video thanks for taking the time to share have a blessed day
Great video, super helpful, and I like your style. Thanks!
Dude, you are awesome! Love making it ‘light’ and not stuffy! So, your suggestion for mounting on big tile that is already there? Cut out the hole (drill a hole?). Either way, great vid, thank!
Great Stuff ....The simplicity is really helpful ....no fingers lost in my production of these shelves ...All the best
I am so stoked that I found this video! I have some pecky cypress that I am making floating shelves with and this is a genius way to attach them. Thank you so much!
