Seems good, my question is how do you take the shelves down if you used the dowel method of covering up the holes? Do I need to pry the dowel piece out?

@MikeClowder 4 года назад

I think the most impressive part was how casually you lifted that 50lb weight my dude. In all seriousness, I saw your original video and I was planning on doing that, but this seems like it would make a lot more sense since I'm very new to woodworking. I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into these videos, and they are incredibly helpful.

@Dani1165 3 года назад

Lol your reaction to that was probably similar to mine when he held the self with one hand and drove the screw intro the wall without any wobble or struggle with the other. AND it went it straight/level! I would've absolutely messed that up. At the very least that screw was going in angled.

@JusBidniss 4 года назад

Nice design! And stronger than they initially appear to be. I would note as to the strength, the weights used in the test are tight up against the wall, where the shear strength of the screw is greatest. Out on the front edge, there's a bit of leverage (with the shelf as the lever) that would diminish the load capacity, potentially bending the screw down and denting the drywall along the back bottom edge. So you wouldn't, for example, want to hang a densely-packed line of clothes on wire hangers along that front edge. But most weight on a shelf spans front to back, like a book, or at least is not all perched on the front edge, so this appears to be fine. Thanks Glen for yet another excellent idea!

@neilf4128 3 года назад

Hello. I'm following up to confirm the validity of this suggestion. I took your advice and created heavy duty book shelves for a wall over my in home office space. The shelves hold about 65lbs of binders filled with paper work. I was pleasantly surprised that once on the wall, the shelves could not be moved or shifted in any way. I used 4 pocket holes and small screws with drywall anchors. No sag, no slight movement, no problems what so ever.

Nice video showing what is probably the simplest and most straightforward way to do a floating shelf. If you are using 2x dimensional boards for the shelves, you can make them even stronger by using heavy duty (HD) pocket hole jig & screws. They are significantly beefier and stronger. You’d then have to use larger dowels, but they are easy to trim and sand flush and no one will ever notice.

I just drill deep holes in the wood and in the wall and plug long metal rods in. You can get enough friction by bending them a little bit. 100% invisible and simple removable... Greetings from Germany

@AndreGomes1987 4 года назад

What kind of metal rod do you use?

@rudigoldammer6223 4 года назад

@@AndreGomes1987 Depends on the required stability. Metal rods are stable, pipes as well. I use aluminum or iron, also wood. You can vary the diameter and the length and number of the rods, just by feeling. The difficulty is to place the holes in the wall and in the shelves congruently and in the right angle... Good luck, my friend!

Thank you DIY Creators!

@josephcaughron2449 4 года назад

Would it change anything in regards to weight limit and sturdiness if the pocket holes/screws were done on the underside of the shelf?

@rayf4469 4 года назад

I think the support would be inversely compromised. The angle of the screw would be pointing towards the floor. The only thing holding the board to the wall is the threading of the screw. Going from the top allows the screw to hold the weight. |/ |\ I think the weight would go down from 140lbs to like 20 possibly just due to screw placement.

@Spardyman 4 года назад

Yeah, basically what Ray said. The back edge surface area of the board provides the support as it works in tandem with the screw facing upward to maintain in stability. Pointing the screws downward would unfortunately nullify most of the leverage the wall has on that back edge.

I made a pocket hole on that piece I placed that piece against the wall where I want to place the shelf I used a long masonry drill bit to drill through the pocket hole and into the wall, giving me the exact angle the screws would come in from the pocket hole I put standard wall plug in those angled hole. The pocket screws lines up perfectly inside those holes and the shelf is tight against the wall

@DoomRater 4 года назад

The stud finder is the most important. You can do everything else by hand but the pocket hole jig is the second most important tool. That's hard to do by hand but if you were desperate enough you could make it to order in a fancier shop. Everything else like a saw and a drill are standard tools I don't think a woodworker should be without. Total tools really needed: 4. Also keep in mind if someone else has a tool shop and they're willing to let you use their tools to make the job quick, you can bust these out real fast once you use the stud finder and make your measurements. Always network if you don't have any tools to start.

Who doesn't love this guy ? Love your projects my friend. I'm surprised the wood didn't breakout with all the weight .

Great idea! I'm planning to add floating shelves to my home office and using your method fits the bill! Great video! Thank you!

Love your videos man.. I had back surgery a little over a week ago, and I literally spent about 10hrs today just watching your videos

is it just me or had anyone else finally accepted that if a DIY tutorial title begins with the word "Easy" that simply means easy if your a..... or easy if you own.....????? Well this video has given me new hope- yes. I did have to purchase a pocket hole jig off Amazon for $11.99 but it's been atleast a few other times I've had the need for it so I don't doubt it was worth it - if even for just these shelves I think its worth it. I love that he admittedly made a previous video about Easy floating shelves - which i can't swear to it but I'm pretty sure I watched a few months ago and as usual said ummmmmm maybe another time... but after reviewing the user comments and questions he came up with an even easier way. Thanks man - Totally appreciated!!

I've been avoiding installing floating shelves thinking it was too much of a pain, but this is such an easy solution, that I'll be able to get mine installed this weekend. Thanks for a good video.

Hey Glen great quick project. I like how you broke out with nothing but hand tools. Videos lie this is what actually got me motivated to start building. Thanks you.

Great way to hang shelves, any manner of floating shelves will require hardware and you've really simplified it here. Usually I make a wooden frame, then a 'box' that slides onto it. This seems like a really fast way to get great results, especially with dimensional lumber. Honestly I could see this working with nicer hardwoods so long as its thick enough, great work!

This is pretty incredible! I've seen many say pocket holes aren't that strong so as a newbie I've been reluctant to put much on them. This is a great project and fits some of my instant needs! Thank you.

Love how that turned out! Also love how you showed a little more on the pocket hole jig.

That's awesome! Can't believe how simple it was, or how much they held. Will absolutely be trying this!

Thank You for these videos. Super easy to follow because u explain things very simple. New subscriber here!!
