Why countersink the screws or bolts holding up the shelves, it only weakens the support and does nothing else since they are not visible anyway?

@oldskoolwayy 2 года назад

This was cool, but entirely too much work.

@ArcanumChronicles 2 года назад

why not inlay power wires in the wall, you can get good thin wires in there, finish it with mud. even easier to fix if you have drywall

@Chaucer89 2 года назад

How long did the battery pack last?

@rickybastien2556 Год назад

You should be selling these amazing shelves. I am buying by the way!

@Lencho_01 Год назад

I like that you include the mistakes into your videos, its adds something wholesome to your work

@Beardofy 2 года назад

Definitely yes to tying in more electronics with your word working! I've been trying to plan a similar project except I want to run the low voltage wire through the drywall behind it. You just gave me a great idea exactly how to do it!

@Fixthisbuildthat 2 года назад

Awesome, good luck!

@countrymagic61 2 года назад

Watching this video, I came up with a similar idea as you did. So...Ditto!, I have a wall in my front room I was at first contemplating a full wall build out. However, using the floating wall system will utilize less material, looks good, and easier to move around if needed. I also though of running the wires in the wall as you did.👍😎😀

@meltmyfaceoff 2 года назад

That is really cool, super nice job

@alexandremartins7856 2 месяца назад

How did you make the controls work together on the 3 shelves?

@johnburgess2084 Год назад

This is the first of your videos I've seen. Great shop setup. Most importantly, I really like the way you not only talk about safety, but you really PRACTICE safety as well! Earplugs, glasses, push sticks, etc.

@matthew35673m 2 года назад

For a truely hidden switch (with no standby power draw), consider using a “normally open” reed switch embedded inside the shelf. Then just place a strong magnet over the top of the reed switch to turn it on.

@brevs8387 2 года назад

That sounds like an awesome idea... something I need to look more into for projects of my own.

@Mr.redacted. Год назад

@roneckler9937 Год назад

I've seen a lot of videos of DIY'ers doing LED lights, and I would have to say that your video is by far the best so far. I have been an electrician for 30 years now and have done more LED lights than I can say. You hit a home run on this one, however, I would have just run a power wire to the shelves and not used battery operated LED's, but that's what I do for a living anyway. Great job!

@burtan2000 Год назад

The batteries will last a few days. Then charge. Then a few days. Then charge.

@RyanTerry Год назад

@@burtan2000 And you'll have to take all the stuff off the shelf to get to the battery! I'm done doing any battery devices. Seems like a great idea, but after a year of constantly having to charge things it's annoying.

@tukuiPat Год назад

@@RyanTerry if you watched the video, he accounted for that and made an accessible charging port so he wouldn't need to take the shelf off to charge it.

@RyanTerry Год назад

@@tukuiPat excellent. Yes, I quickly scrolled through towards the end so I didn’t see that. Thanks.

@NateWithWho 29 дней назад

@@RyanTerry OR I would make a USB-c charging port to the side of the shelf, so you can charge whenever needed or constantly put on charge (but not sure if the battery would explode overtime)

@StormGod29 2 года назад

Dude, seriously good job on conception and execution. I also enjoy blending woodworking, 3d printing, and microelectronics together. It is seriously a match made in heaven these days with what we can do.

@accessfm 2 года назад

Done something close to this with my kids floating shelves... But I drilled into the dry wall and dropped cables from each of the Floating shelves behind the dry wall to a wall dry line box and powered from mains usb power instead of battery packs. No worrying about charging or hot battery packs while charging then. Great job and looks so well. Well done.

@AdrianDWolfe 2 года назад

Damnnn very NICE, will be doing something like this in my living room for sure

@srbrisken 2 года назад

Great job on yet another project that I have on my list to do! Would love to see a nice still image of the entire wall showing both the shelves and the unit below.

@rtanderson2 2 года назад

I love incorporating electronic stuff into builds. Definitely would love to see more.

@viktoriaciostek6184 7 месяцев назад

I love the subtle comedy in your videos, the inception plug in was dope. I always use blue painters tape in my floating shelf glue ups. It holds strong and doesn't tar out any wood fibers when you remove it, nor does it leave any adhesive behind that you have to sand off or may clog any wood grain.

@jonny555ive 2 года назад

I totally respect your choice of teaching safety. It IS number one. I applaud you brother. 👍👍

@mikencrew8885 2 года назад

Great job Brad! Always enjoy your videos. Your one of my favorite to watch. You actually really helped me out when I first started wood working because mistakes where made LOL!!! And that really helped me push forward and not quit

@stiraf5257 2 года назад

I rarely build a project just like the one in a video. So seeing new techniques or ideas is always welcome.

@stephenrobinson8250 2 года назад

Never been comfortable with electronics but you make it look so easy. Really nice shelves. Very well done! Keep up the great videos....

@chaskinsnc 2 года назад

This is great! I did something similar with my bar but, led’s on top to uplight the bottles on the bar. I ran the low voltage wire down the inside of the wall and plugged in to outlet below with LED transformer. New to the channel and looking forward to exploring!

Hi Brad, I just came across this video on my feed and gotta say, I absolutely loved your work, edit and pace. I have never done anything like this in my life, but I am wishing to do it in the future, so I really enjoy seeing videos like yours to learn and get ideas from. Keep up the great work! Just subscribed to see more in the future.

@Motorpig251 Год назад

Dude, I've been doing odd and ends carpentry for about five years now. I'm so OCD when it comes to perfection. I have every tool imaginable, but still learning every time I build something. Today I built 4 floating shelves for each side of our fireplace. I used the tape method I saw in your video, and OMG! Game Changer! Thank you so much for posting this video. This made things so much easier!

@ImagineItChannel 11 месяцев назад

@jpcreativeimagery Год назад

Great work! These came out really nice! A did a similar (in concept) project a little more than a year ago where I embedded LED's into a riser add-on I built for my office desk. I initially considered the aluminum muzata track, but it's quite expensive for what it is. Significant savings can be had if you just stick the LED's directly to the wood channel you routed, and either forgo the cover all together, or you cut acrylic strips and spray them with frost spray paint (to taste) as a cover that you can then either route a channel so it slides in or glue it onto a ledge you can route (as I did). I actually completed the cover and didn't even end up using it since the light is more intense without and I'm not looking under the riser anyway. Diffusion didn't prove to be an issue with the riser being about 9" from the top of the desk top. One of these days, I'll get a video up for the build as it came out quite nice.

@stereothrilla8374 Год назад

Well done sir! You make it look easy. Anyone who’s tried to build “perfect” box knows that this is far harder than it looks.

@vaka_senpai9862 2 года назад

6:35 killed me :DD

@catmastertrash2447 10 месяцев назад

Just found this channel in my recommended. You mentioned about getting into more electronics - you totally should! Actually I knew nothing about wood stuff, but LEDs, wiring small electronics, those I'm pretty familiar with now. It's worth it. I'm hoping to combine our two interests at some point but I have to learn more about building with wood first. Great video, subbed!

@jamesspinks3956 2 года назад

Great video! Very similar to the way I build floating shelves and as the electronics keep digging into that… so much you can do with low voltage and wood. I have 25+ years in the 12v/audio/video world and now I incorporate that into almost every project with lighting or moving panels. They have power supplies that are super small and thin just for low voltage lighting. Hardwired is the way to go vs battery especially for a no hassle no call back customer service point of view. Not a big deal for people like us to change batteries but most of customers want out of site out of mind hassle free!! Just my 2 cents. Keep up the awesome clean work and keep the videos coming.

@evid1000 2 года назад

You are right about going wired. These items are not much electricity draws and newer electronics can be worked via phone/alexa for a truly seemless voice turn on/off. Is there.a good video for hardwired floating shelf? I'm looking to use one over a bed that has built in light/wireless charger/usb ports.

@TheBatz65 7 месяцев назад

Burnishing the edge is a sweet trick to close up that little gap! It’s really hard to get the longer boards just perfectly mitered to not have any gap. Especially for the typical DIY table saw…. They just don’t cut as precise as needed. Looks great!

@Dicer328 2 года назад

I like it when the mistakes are not covered up in the final video production. Great shelves!

@RobDucharme 2 года назад

I like that, in spite of the fact that I've seen several videos on how to make a very similar floating shelf, I still learn something new, or I'm able to follow along like I already do know. Not sure if I'll build a floating shelf like this anytime soon but this is a cool build.

@nathanfife2890 2 года назад

If you use hue lights you can connect them to a real light switch and control everything with other smart home stuff as well. I built a similar thing and I liked the hue option because there isn't a battery to charge

@countrymagic61 2 года назад

Awesome idea!!! Looks so clean. I made my first floating shelf out of scrap 1/4 MDF and on the fly. It is small and is mounted just above my medicine cabinet to put all my meds on. I need to take it down and refinish it and make the support system a little bit sturdier.
