    All the cool kids are doing shelf brackets nowadays, glad you guys are cool too. Hahaha Hidden French cleats?! Genius! If you wanted to get rid of the lateral movement you could totally break the internets and do a sliding dovetail French cleat? But again, that would seriously blow some minds! I would love to see what you could create with a decked out shop. ;)

      I was thinking about a dovetail grove, the french cleat at that point might be overkill lol. Fun to try. Now I need a router :)

    What a great idea for a shelf bracket attachment option. I really like that. It's so much better than having those darn aggravating little round wooden plugs to cover the screws, that pop out after time.

  • @elizabethbrooks4849

    If any of your subscribers know someone in research and development in the home building industries or tools, they need to get their human resources people after you, Doug. May be too 9 to 5 for you, but it seems like it would be a blessing to them and you and diy-ers! The shelf bracket idea is great! Again! Glad I got to see you use the router around the corner of the bracket. Would not have known that is how that is done. Why did you choose a glue gun over wood glue to attach the shelf? I would probably use nails or screws and putty it or put a piece of contac paper or veneer on the top of the shelf to hide them. Hope you appreciate how supportive Ashley is! Glad the weather has been good enough for you to get out to the barn and work!

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent  4 года назад +4

      I used hot glue to make the shelf easier to be removed in the future, if need be. The main idea was to experiment with shelf brackets. If I created a shelf unit I would have built it differently. Wood glue is too permanent.

    I don't know if you are looking for ways to supplement your income, but you have a knack for design. You would do well selling furniture for local pickup or at a local outdoor market and selling things like your shelf brackets and peanut butter stirrer online.

  • @margaretbedwell58
    @margaretbedwell58 4 года назад

    Very nice looking shelf and I think Belle will get many years of enjoyment from it. As an added note, when my brother was making wood shelves such as this one, he would make a key hole in the bracket back and slide it down over a screw. They held up very well. On other shelves the were larger he would design a decorative back plate on the shelf then pre drill and counter sink holes in the back plate, screw the whole unit to the wall then cover the counter sunk holes with a rounded button (they come in many sizes). Those shelves were very strong also. Love these DIY projects you are doing. I am only sorry I can no longer do the wood working. Spent many happy years making country craft items. Have a Blessed day.

    Like the new logo. I love watching Sam’s mind work. We should call this dueling carpenters and their saws lol. In one scene the saw sounded like a cow mooing how funny. They make shelf brackets that are routed out on the back with two metal fittings the screws heads pop into so all is unseen, they work but aren’t as nice as your set up.

  • @justinhubbard8355

    @hollyhasegawa6095 4 года назад

    Oh my goodness, that was a brilliant way to do a shelf bracket, I do agree with you on drywall, all the houses I have lived in have had drywall, except the one I currently live in, and it is paneling throughout the whole house because it is an older home, it's a 1955 Sparton with an addition built onto it, so more along the lines of 70"s area. So I plan on painting the paneling a white, so it will be me patching the holes and sanding then painting, and I have done that in the hallway and it looks just fine. You are just so clever and have so many great ideas and I love that you share these things with us. Thanks again for another fun video, and I always look forward to you next one. Sending love and hugs, bye for now.
