You guys have the best videos. All the info and steps are in the videos and y’all don’t do those lengthy intros that everyone on RUclips does.
The first half of the ruclips.net/user/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.
I love you two. I built my son & wife the dining room table following your easy step by step video!!! Thank you guys very much!!!
THANK YOU! This IS THE BEST video on these shelves!! (Mine cost more than $20 LOL BUT I opted for Poplar instead of pine) we did 3 on either side of our mantle and they came out gorgeous!! Thank you so much!!
👍👍👍👍👍
How much was it
Just love your tutorials! I'm building a cottage and getting so many great ideas watching your videos!
This was by far the easiest and cheapest way to do this project. My shelves we're about $23 a piece to make as opposed to the hundreds of dollars per shelf you would spend on Etsy for custom shelves of the same size. Wish I could post a picture, they came out great! I posted your video on my IG story after the post of my first completed shelf for people to find. Thanks so much for making the best and most helpful floating shelf video!
how much weight can they hold?
WOW! This looks awesome. Appreciate the effort put into building this floating shelf! Good job!
Best and easiest and simplest and cheapest floating shelves I’ve ever seen~~!!!! Thank you!!!
At of all the floating shelf videos on RUclips, the best by far. Keep up the good work.!!!!!
Wow! I’m so going to do this! It will b my first time constructing anything. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Thank you! Went out and bought some soft pine today and going to extend the length to put over my fireplace. Love your tutorials!
Well .... how did it go Jackie?
@@davipartin9543 went very well, 82" long mantel, I decided to take my first attempt at beveling the sides of it and it came out great! Even made two others without the bevel for my laundry room! Thank you for the easy tutorial!
@@Craftyblonde1 for the shelves in your laundry room, do the shelves hold detergent and other heavy items ?
Wish you guys had the time to do more build videos. These are great!
You guys are the best i absolutely love your videos and how you give us the blue print. Please dont change anything and keep the videos coming. GB
Glad to see you guys back! You’ve been missed!!
Thank you! Glad to be back!
Amazing this is so much simpler than other ideas I’ve seen!
I just love you guys. You make watching your videos fun. Keep it up.
Love love it!! ❤️. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills! ❤️
I love how you guys keep it so simple! Every time I watch DIYs I think how the heck am I gonna be able to do that myself? !
Love this. Thanks. I knew the look I wanted for my fireplace wall would be impossible to find. Now i know how to do it myself. 💪
You could eliminate the wood filler by using pocket holes and a French cleat can be used to hang the shelf. Just an option. Great project!
Keep doing these please! Got your book. Excellent. Happy New Year to both of you
Makes everything so easy LOVE YOU GUYS ❤️
Do u have any ideas for a work bench ? For simple things like diys
Nice and simple. Looks really good.
By the way that shelf looks gorgeous and you made it look so easy to make tfs don’t hurt your back working on the floor like that.
🤣 It shows he is enjoying his project ...all done 🤩
Easiest way I've seen so far. Good job.
Hell yes! I’m making this tomorrow! Thank you
By far the easiest tutorial I've watched. Definitely going to try this one.
Why is it that people always have something negative about your channel l love it. I like you don’t have a workshop and that sometimes your uploads are simple! It called rehab for a reason. Keep up the good work 💕👏🏾💕
I swear your diy’s are always amazing but your thought process and the way you execute things always blows my mind! You make it look so effortless! Also, you could try putting the rope in a mesh bag and just tossing it in your washing machine to get rid of the smell. Love that little elevator scene with you whispering to yourself “gentlegentlegentle” lol!! 4:15
I just made these today!!! Looks great!! Thank you!!!
Glad to see a new video from you guys! Good stuff.
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos guys love how y’all show step by step!
Thanks so much!
Easiest , most informative ** video I could find. Thank You!!
Thank you for making this so easy!!!!
So nice to see you,long time since I've seen one.Great work .
Thanks! Yeah it's been too long, hoping to step it up here....
Extremely helpful and encouraging for us to try
Hello! I’ve been watching videos to learn how to make a floating a shelf and I think yours is the best! I am planning to follow exactly what you did. I just had one question, if I want my shelf to be a little higher, would I simply modify the 7 1/4 measurement to say 10 1/4 if I wanted it to be 6.5 in high? I know it’s a stupid question but this is the first time I do anything like this and am scared of making a mistake 😓. Thank you so much in advance and love your video!!
Awesome great video will definitely be referencing when I build!!
I just made this shelf to go under my tv mounted on the wall. I have my router sitting on it. Drilled a hole to run the cord through it. It turned out nice 👍🏽. Thanks ☺️
heyy quick question… do you happen to know about how much weight it can hold up to???
@@samyraestrada26 I wouldn’t put more than 25 lbs on it. It’s pretty sturdy but remember it has a piece of wood and I have 4 screws supporting the shelf.
Ok thats amazing definitely going to make my self a wall shelf !!!
I was trying to figure out a way to make a floating shelf instead of those metal brackets from ikea. This idea is genius!!! Thanks
Blanca in the mix!! Awesome!!
Haha, she wouldn't stop bugging us until she made an appearance!
Belo trabalho,The best👍🇧🇷
With the 2x2 support only being 1.5” sticking out, doesn’t this allow for the shelf to eventually bend downward a bit, especially once you place things on the shelf? I’m having a hard time seeing how this would last awhile.
Seems adding a French cleat using hardwood like red oak is the way to go
also lets you easily remove the shelf later if need be
Great easy diy thanks
Looks Great 👍🏻!!!
Great video! thanks for the info.
Awesome video! Thank you
Great job as always !but where have you been great to see you back 🍺🍺🍷🍷👍👍👍👍
Thanks! We've been working on DIY projects for our book coming out in January! That's wrapped up now so hoping to kick out more vids...
Great vid.before the end of this month will make mine. Have you guys given any thought to using shellac clear or amber instead of poly? Shellac is natural & gives a richer , warmer feel
Thank you for the video I'm making Kitchen shelves like yours ...
Where I can but the gold and white plastic or the INE you can hang the shelve love it
Muy bonito y hecho en casa!
Thank you for this plan. I want that Tesla Cybertruck too! 3:35
Nice!..I was waiting for this,.my husband did something very similar but of course nothing compare the perfection here 😉👍
Looks amazing 👌💯
Thanks so much for watching!
Nicely done
Best damn video I've seen with out a word being said. Bravo 👏 and thank you 😊
Good job brother
I gave this video a thumbs up AS SOON AS I SAW THE DOG.
Me encantan tus videos. Congratulations from Balearic Islands.
Gracias and hello to the Balearic Islands!
I alway envy those who are handy like you. 👍
Oh you can do it too!
love it!
Great idea!
I wish I had those tools to make it 😭. I love it! 3:47
Best part, no plywood. Awesome.
Awesome 👍 video
Love it!!!
Yay!! U guys made another video.
Thanks for watching! We're hoping to increase our output here now that our book projects have wrapped up!
amazing!
WHAT!!! We have a dog that’s a chihuahua mix and his name is Henry too! How crazy!!!
Damn why does the beat have to bang like that? Has me listening in just for the beats lol love the videos
I know, its so passionate 😂😂
Love it 😍
So nice..
Thinking of trying this one. Do you guys already buy the wood that straight edge or do you do a rip cut to make it flush?
I saw this exact plan on youtube in 2018 the stain was the same color too.
Thanks for this video. What size of screws did you use to hold the 2x2 to the wall?
I love it
Love it
Los extrañaba!
Son geniales los 2
Yeah for Henry!!! 🐶 🐕
Fantastic job and video, new sub here.
Looks good will have to give this one a try thanks for posting
Thanks!
Great job! Thanks for sharing 4:14
more please!
We're planning on it!
Thanks, nice!
Hi! Great video! Question....any idea of how much weight the shelves can hold?
Thanks! As long as you attach the 2x2s to studs it should hold just fine. We're planning on using it for dishes/cup/etc.
I need something like this in my living room for my TV. With your measurements, how big of a TV do you think this would accommodate to float over? How about weight? How much weight can this shelf hold?
Lovely...
Bonjour pour commencer je voulais vous dire que j'adore ce que vous faites... une petite question derrière les l'etagere est-ce une tapisserie ou du carrelage pourriez-vous me donner la marque du produit svp
noiiiice, would heavy weight be a issue?such as books?
Probably, you'll want more of a structure for the frame and I'd suggest using wood glue with finishing nails instead of wood screws.
Hi is it possible to add cleefs (not sure about spelling) for extra support on the anchoring wood? Also is it possible to do the shelves your way with a less thicker (height) shelf and a shorter width (less protruding out)?
wow i will try 😃😃😃
Hello there. Thanks for sharing this video. I am a big fan and an amateur DIY'er. Will be attempting to make these shelves for our living room wall. I do have a question though. As I was noting down the dimensions, I noticed that there may be a gap of around 1/2 inch between the top of shelf and the wall frame ? If so, how did you handle that or is my math wrong ?
I know your question is 3 years old lol, but you’re absolutely correct. I wish they would’ve said what their solution to this was because obviously 1+1+2 is 4, the same height as the front of the shelf, but of course lumber is a quarter of an inch smaller meaning the total for the back of shelf is 3.25” whereas the front of the shelf is 3.75”. I assume their solution to this was just to have the top of the shelf “sit” on the 2x2 with a half inch gap below that. Not exactly ideal for a shelf that likely won’t hold much weight to begin with. I suppose you could use 3.5” inch screws that would be long enough to “reach” the bottom half of the shelf past the gap.
Excelente ¡¡¡
👍🏻😁thanks
What song is this!? I love it!
What was the weight capacity of each shelf?
I was hoping to get the answer to this too
@@reganburke5758 I’m guessing not very much weight.
I would probably think the max weight would be 50-75lbs, however, shelves like this are not meant for things that are that heavy, Nick Naks, Towels, cups, display items and such, your not going to be storying 300lb weights or anything. so just use logic and reasoning.
The weakest point of this shelf will be the screws that hold the self to the 2x2 because you have only a thin area between the screw and the edge of the board, you could strength it a bit by clueing the whole top edge then screw it down thus adding more resistance to the weak points. but this is definitely not meant for heavy weights over 100lbs. also the wider the shelf, the weaker it will be on the front edge. think gravity is always pulling down. hope this helps.
What kind of wood did you use and what stain color would that be. ???
How long were your screws to secure the 2x2?
