    Since I am doing a large floating shelf/mantle for a relative this video came in handy. I plan on the same beveled joints all around, and have been playing with how to attach to the wall. Dowels and a backer board into the studs, and some other types of floating shelf brackets. The genius of using a French cleat somehow escaped me, even though I've used that approach before for picture frames, including a wall of frames of various sizes in our family room. Perfect timing of this video, Mike. Can't believe I hadn't thought of that for a floating shelf. Thank you!!! BTW, beautiful shelf!
