Dave is by far the coolest Maker on RU-vid. Humble AF yet not afraid to try new things. He’s the dude you want drink and smoke with. Been watching his channel for years and it’s awesome watching him progress.
So refreshing to sit back and watch chill, easy, fun, funny content. Sometimes bringing it back to basics in WW is what the Doctor ordered. I’m so over the major shop makeovers and big massive projects. Thanks for making this video. It was enjoyable and entertaining. Your style and sense of humor put it on top. 👍🏽
Thanks David, I been wanting to put up an HO Scale train that will run around my hobby room, and this is the perfect solution. I appreciate all that you do bud.
You are the John Carpenter of woodworking channels, by which I mean it doesn't matter whether the movie is a classic (the thing) or a dud (vampires), the shot composition is always near perfection. Keep up the great work :) it's enjoyable to watch!
Aloha! Thank you for this awesome and entertaining video. Looked all over but couldn't find a link for the "specialty hardware" bracket that is the star of this video...besides you of course! Would like to use this for my next daughter-project.
Amazing work, Dave! The shelves look fantastic! 😃 BTW, here in Brazil we have a saying that goes like this... "When I first started to enter in the internet it was all woods!" So... The part about the sponsor made me remember of it! 😂 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Wow that's definitely really cool. Hopefully you enjoy it for many years to come. And get great use out of it for many years to come David. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work David. Keep making. God bless.
I normally skip through the ads but this one I had to watch just try figure out wtf you were doing :-) well done man they should give you a bonus on this one.
I love these floating shelves. There's just something appealing about the look of floating shelves, especially ones made with 'real wood'. BTW: It's good to see the return of Elvis.
On the starting before screwing, got me thinking about the song Ridin' Dirty/White & Nerdy. 🎶They see me I be trollin', they get angry. 'cause they're not bright or nerdy.🎶
Hey, ive been bendin nails on the paying basis for a long long time and you got it in the blood son. Its WOOD FEVER im talkin about! Keep it goin, you got a good voice and some wits to spare, a cool vibe and a good camera person. I will sub and join up with the journey for awhile. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
This hardware kit is awesome, I used them on my Sapelle shelves and almost 2 years later and no issues at all. Hold up plenty of weight. As usual great video - thanks for sharing
I thought how you did the Squarespace segment was clever. It seems you have a fair bit of room on your property to expand, which is great - you can never have too much shop space!
I wanted to make smart ass hot tub comments like, you also used glue, dowels, and tools on the bench, or you didn’t cut that by hand, you used a chisel and a router. Instead, I’m sitting here, mind still blown wondering if the “working” half of woodworking is the problem solving half. You, sir, are a genius!
I've seen in some installs where they used an oscillating tool on the drywall to sink the bracket to the stud. Do you think this is unnecessary? Ok maybe given the weight you have it is in your example, but there's merits to the method.
I know what you mean, but it still struck me funny ''came from an actual tree" as opposed to all the boards I've been using that I thought were wood but really manufactured or synthetic somehow? 🤔
Impact drill bits are the best things I've bought in a long time, try using an impact when drilling, so much faster and easier, especially drilling pocket holes. My drills have been collecting dust since I discovered this, unless I'm running a bunch of small screws, nice to have a clutch for those
The thing I don’t like about that design is how it mounts, a 2x4 is only 1.5 inches wide and with the screws mounting horizontal they just barely each grab the stud.
Where was the rule breaking part? I kept expecting to see you hang some of that hardware with drywall anchors. At any rate, this hardware is WAY better than the janky crap that came with the boring-ass IKEA floating shelves I had to hang in my apartment. Yeah, IKEA stuff is a poverty of the soul to someone with any skill at woodworking/fabrication - but sometimes you just want something up there and you don't want to have to build it yourself. I shall file this video away for a future where I want to mount floating shelves that are not soulless and devoid of style.
That's not the easy way. The easy way is a pocket hole from the top down to the stud. That's easy, super strong, and way less scary. Total hang time, about 10 minutes.
