I love Pika Screws but are they really best for this application? It's not like you are going to need to have easy access to the screws that are attaching the shelf to the wall. And if you want a metal plug, just insert a metal plug that is ferrous. Glue in weak magnets on the inside if you are afraid they will fall out and strong magnet to pull them out. Or hack, don't go with ferrous metal and just don't make the hole too snug and use tape or glue to pull them out, if needed. Pika Screws and the tool are expensive, so might as well save them for a project that has no better alternative.
It’s more for a unique look and perspective. There are plenty of options out there that I could have used but nothing like this. Thanks so much for all the input. Great to hear others thought process on this.
I thought exactly the same actually. Couple of neodymium magnets in there and a slice of steel rod)))
I don’t get it. Why even bother with the whole screw part of the contraption? Just put an aluminum cap over the hole…
Could have done the same thing with a wood dowel. Stained a darker color- might have looked even better.
Real easy to do it with a 1/2 inch steel rod 8 inches long.
Five inches goes into the oak edge facing the wall and three inches goes into the wall stud.
Drill 5/8 hole into the stud and fill with epoxy.
The screw cap is cute.
Metal plug with a magnet glued to the back to hold onto the screw or even just friction fit in the hole, these are a joke
“I love the hidden fasteners, but why are the fronts all scratched up? You didn’t slide the end of a screw over them did you?” -the customer
There're a lot of floating-shelf videos now. And yours is.. superb. I would rate yours the Best. Thank you, for creating and providing this. I love the Pika-screw tip.
I love those fasteners. They're basically invisible!
I love those screws. I've been trying to figure out a project I can use them on since the first time I saw them. Thanks for sharing Brent.
Great to hear and thanks so much for watching
Those are really cool, will have to pick some up! What a great way to hide something while also keeping it removable and stylish. A nice alternative to using wood plugs that you would have to drill out. I hope they make these in brushed brass, I've been into making a lot of mid-century modern lately. Klein always comes up with some of the coolest stuff. Loved his dado stack for making drawers.
I like the look, but the actual screw that is holding up the shelf, is now completely covered by the t nut, right? So while the pika screw is able to be removed, what happens to the t nut and it’s ability to be removed for access to the screw?
You’d just remove the pika screw, and start screwing a long bolt into the t nut. As the bolt bottoms out (and contacts the head of the lagscrew), you continue screwing and it should pull the tnut prongs out.
I suppose you could fabricate an extender bolt with tapped hole or thread at each end. Then use red locking compound at the pika end. You would need to use some wall anchor. Pika means express in Finnish BTW
At the end, they don't seem to be flush in the piece of wood. Looks like they stick out a mm or 2.
Great video Brent! Those looks awesome! OK I know this is not the intention of this video but how have I never thought to put tape on the wall when marking studs...how have I been on this earth this long and never thought to do that!
LoL! We all have those moments haha! Love easy tips like that and thanks so much for watching
So they are just decorative removable plugs @ $40 per?
there's a reason nobody decided to make these until now 😂
Very clever
Thanks so much for watching and all the support along the way :)
Pretty sure you could hide lag bolt heads with circle ⭕️ of stainless & corresponding router bit & double sided tape
My story lamer with stainless steel circles, but my date & I already in bedroom bc I spent savings on flowers & dinner
Not knocking project - looks great
$40 for 1, for basically a decorative piece, I'll pat.
I used the pika mini version. They are only $27/piece
@@BYOTools so, $108 to hide some fasteners 🤔 seems to be a ton of better, cheaper options to hide fasteners.
@J M and then also have to plunge each hole twice. Quite a bit more work.
@@BYOToolsGlue a magnet to a metal plug and put it top of the screw head, what you installed is overpriced garbage.
But when you are doing a project for a client? If they're paying for a custom job obviously they're going to want that extra polished look. And are willing to pay for it.
thats cool brah
Like idea but waiting to hear price for magnet screws
Pokes with screw 👍
Would rather have beautiful wood shelf with no metal showing. Got an install video for that by attaching shelf through the front?
Sweet
A nice clear laminate over that stain would keep it looking good for a long time to come.
Very cool and a great idea but I’ll wait like 20 years for the price to come down.
WOW, you never heard of Andrew Klein? He has developed several awesome tools>
Anyway, I always thought that a "Floating Shelf" was where one could not see in visible hardware holding the shelf up. These are NOT floating shelves IMHO
Ya I’ve seen a number of his inventions now. He’s quite an amazing inventor. Why do you not consider this a floating shelf?
@@BYOTools I think they mean “floating” referring to the illusion that the shelf is not held up by any obvious hardware.
Why are these even called a screw? Its nothing but a shiny, screw cover that has nothing to do with the actual strength of the shelf...
Well you can obviously use them in multiple different ways and this is just how I used them. Check out Andrew’s platform and see all the ways he’s using them. Thanks so much for watching
There was a RUclipsr years ago who was trying to design the same thing basically.
Lmao 🤣 wow !! What is you just drilled it out .. put in your lag screw … and then installed a metal cap over the hole ???
Should really mention Andrew Klein since this is his invention
Wood plugs.
I watched the full video and a decorative dowel or some shellac mixed with sawdust would hide that screw better you just made a bigger hole
I don't get it. Why not just use a vanity headlock screw or something nice looking. All this extra but see it anyway
what is the intro song?
🙏👏👍💪
Thanks for watching Alain
Imagine losing the driver when you have to take it down 😅. It'll be right there in a separate dimension along with all your 10 mms
are those screws really $40 a piece...
I can’t imagine a customer being happy with those things being exposed on the front of a floating shelf, not for me thanks
Why not just use wood plugs?...
This seems overkill.
This is incredibly silly. At least put an anchor in the wall and chose a pikascrew long enough to bolt into that. I cannot imagine a scenario where I'd use these.
How about a dowel? $40 screw?😂
$26-40 per screw? I think I'll stick to using plugs
What if i give you the same functionality but with a smaller head and longer screw, even 2 inches long. And above that at 3 dollars a pc
@november28in $3 isn't bad, that would make it within consideration depending on the project
Bro just recess the screw and stick a circular fridge magnet to it.
No offense, nice job but seems like a waste of time
I don't get it. Adding $200 to the cost of the project just to use unique fasteners that you don't need to use, that are specifically designed so as not to look like unique fasteners??? Surely you could have mounted the shelf using the traditional metal rod bracket, fixed from the underside, avoiding any holes on the front? If you really wanted a few metal discs on the front, just recess a few metal discs using the router and a friction fit and voila; exactly the same look!
What if i give the same functionality, with a smaller head and longer screw, even 2 inches. And above that at 3 dollars a pc!
Oh god, this guy is hard to listen too.
Ridiculous application. And they're $40 per screw and $60 for the driver.
What if i give the same functionality, with a smaller head and longer screw, even 2 inches. And above that at 3 dollars a pc!
Stupidity at its finest.
You tell me that I had to drill for the screw to fit and I need to buy a specialized screw driver?
IKEA have a floating shelf that cost less and less hassle to install.
Horrible finished look!
This must be an expensive job. Those Pika screws are $70 a piece.
I used the mini pika screws. They are only $27/each. Thanks for watching
