Some nice tips and tricks right here! I'll add one that I've found to be very useful as well. Pre drill your bracket mounting holes, then put a countersink on the back side. When screwing into drywall, it has a tendency to mushroom out around the screw. This can make getting your bracket flush to the wall pretty tough sometimes. The countersink will leave room for the drywall to push out and make for a nice tight fit against the wall, ensuring your shelf never wobbles.

That fill the gap trick is slick! Thanks for sharing. Love learning little tricks like that to help my own projects look better. I have a project coming up that I'm sure this will come in handy on. Keep filming! Love the content!

I am doing a job just like this soon and that just gave me more confidence in the strength of the floating shelf design. I am doing 2x4 construction for the braces and plywood sheets for the box. Will definitely use your tip to locate the studs before hand.

Best one of these I’ve seen. Most of the other make me feel very suspicious that they’ll hold any weight beyond a pot plant! Nice to see a sturdy solution!
-
That burnisher technique for gapped mitered corners is Brilliant. I usually address the issue a number of ways depending on the project, but a burnisher bending in the wood fibers to close the gap makes perfect sense. Thank you!
-
You just blew my mind a little with the dust collection manifold you made! I've never seen anything like this...I only see people using blast gates. Also, the burnisher trick...never seen that done. Very cool! (I typed the manifold comment right when I saw it in the video. Paused and typed it out so I would not forget. Then, you mentioned it. ha ha)

I really like the minimal hardware application, and I always have plenty of 2 x 4 scraps to use for support arms. This method is easy to install. Thank you so much!

Nice work! I LOVE THE DUST MANIFOLD! When I’ve built these I added meters to the front, top, and bottom pieces as well. Used a scribe to make the pieces fit as tight as possible to the walls. This makes each shelf look like one big timber, but it takes a heck of a lot longer.

Gotta love your style, cowboy boots and shorts. I can't say I've never done that.

Love that dust collection system! While the bf's away, I'll put one in his shop today! Thanks for the idea and the helpful pointers! high five Subscribed.

Wow, I loved watching n I never wanted it to end. Good job 👍 dude. Now am ok with fixing floating shelves on the wall. ✅☺️
-
the slidey dust thing. pretty awesome... i am just in the beginning process of building a dust collection system and will be using automatic blast gates, but that's a stroke of genius if you have a smaller shop.

haha. Oh My god, I have a giant butcher block sitting in the corner of my shop as well taking up space too! great video man, love your style very fun personable narrations. Cool tips on the brad nailer and burnishing the corner like that!
-
Gorgeous result!! Lots of great tips. I'm glad you show the errors too ... every project has something to back out of and figure out a fix :) Thank you!
-
Wow! I love it! Moving in soon to my new place. Wish I had some of those.

Your the kind of guy I’d love to hire to do projects in my home. You seem to take a lot more care and time than I would for myself but they look better in the end when you take the time to do it right. Great video, it was exactly what I was looking for. I’m wanting 7 8ft long shelves on a 10ft wall but now I’m thinking that is too much. I like the way the floating shelves open up the space more.
-
Awesome shelf builds! I want to build some like yours for the kids bedrooms but will be lighter duty. I'm thinking of using 2x2's for the internal frame to make them thinner.
-
great tips! i love the way you showed us how to tighten up that gap!

Hey Stan, when I was hanging cabinets in my shop I had an occasion to hang two side by side like the two in your shed. I turned the left one upside down so the the door was hung on the left side making them open in the center. The shelves were uneven between the two of them but who would notice, or care? I loved the acorn bit. Kids! 5:22

Nice work. Good tip on closing that mitre gap. I have been using auto bondo or sometimes wood filler but that would have been overkill. Thanks
