@dangnify 6 месяцев назад

Nice video. I used a similar approach but different in that no pre fabbed brackets are needed just a couple pieces of all thread. Layout the center of the studs. I used at least 2 for shorter shelves three or more for longer heavier shelves. Drill holes sized for the root diameter of the threads. Double nut the all thread at one end and turn them in with a wrench. Drill holes in the edge of the shelves, centered of course on the thickness of the shelf and sized for the outside diameter of the threaded rods plus 1/32". As in your case, holes must be carefully laid out and drilled perpendicular, and to the correct depth. I went about 2.5" in to the wall stud. No drywall needs to be removed so actual hole depth is about 3" from the finished wall surface. One other thing, before fitting the shelf to the all thread, its a good idea to place the shelf on top of the studs to see if scribing is necessary. Some walls aren't perfect, if you can believe that. thaks

@roylec 3 года назад

Love you’re teaching style. Very clear and all the good tips. I watched this because I do -exactly- the same thing, even have my own brackets made up by a local welder - very similar to yours but a longer tail on the plate to help prevent leverage issues. In the UK most walls are plaster on brick, but I still strip the plaster back to sit the plate on brick. I backfill and decorate before measuring and drilling the shelves. I also make solid shelves which you could park a truck on!

@sawoodworker464 4 года назад

Just a work of caution to check for wiring and/or plumbing running through wall studs. These are typicality run through bored holes in the middle of studs. The 2” screws will short a wire or puncture a pipe if present. Good info on installing the floating shelf.

@josephfiganiak 4 года назад

@bourbonmothwoodworking this tutorial is great and I appreciate you making it. Just a word of warning if you aren’t going to have custom made brackets to exact measurements and are using stock lumber (1.5” thick), the brackets you buy online (I purchased the ones in his description) you will have gaps above and below your shelf that you will need to patch as the brackets are just slightly larger than the lumber. Everything about the tutorial is spot on though, even when you are wingin it and find your drywall is held up by furring strips on concrete and you gotta adjust on the fly 😂.

@geode232 Год назад

@johnnyboy3563 3 года назад

As a novice, I decided to do a floating mantel over my fireplace this year, but I wanted a solid wood 6x8x70" beam. It's basically the same concept except I used 7 x 8", 3/8 lag bolts fastened into lag shields into the brick (which I needed to drill 5/8 holes for). Bolts go in 2.5" deep and 5.5" into the wood (you want to be in 2/3 the thickness of the wood which was 8" for me). Once bolts are in, saw off the heads, drill holes in the wood (hardest part is drilling 6" straight holes without a guide, then pound it in. Worked really great, so I'm not surprised this is how to do floating shelves as well.

@billymacmakes 3 года назад

Those steel brackets are great - but be careful with a 2"+ screw - there could be wires or water pipes that run through the centre of the studs (code allows for this, meaning it could be as close as 1 3/8" away from the front edge!) Nailplates would likely only be used if the hole was closer than than 1 1/4" from the front, so the long screw is strong, but a tiny bit of a gamble if you're not sure what's back there!

@chandler3992 Год назад

Hey contractor here. You'll know if there's wire or pipe running through something typically wire is not run any higher than 18" for outlets and approximately 42" for a switch. If wire is being run it will be about level with the outlets. Typically wire is run down the side of a 2×4. So in other words you will not hit a wire unless your electrician was on crack. As for pipes the only pipes you should find in a wall should be around anything that requires water. Pipes are run basically from a to b "path of least resistance". Here in Florida it's buried in concrete or run through the ceiling down to your bathrooms and kitchens.
