I've used a number of shelf supports in the cupboards and wardrobes I've built around the house, from battens through to hidden shelf supports, so in today's video I thought I'd bring all this knowledge together into a bit of a DIY'ers guide.
I will also be featuring bookcase strips in today's video.
The conclusion - whilst the bookcase strips look slick and professional, they are most suited to bookcases rather than wardrobes and cupboards (funny that!) and to successfully install the strips you need a router, a double rebate cutter, multiple lengths of bookcase strips and all the clips to support the shelves. For the small sample I put together for today's video I spent a wapping £53. So compared to this, £7.14 for the hidden shelf supports featured in the video is an absolute bargain!

Easily one of the best on RU-vid! Based on some of the other DIY channels... You're looking at over a million subscribers by the end of 2020... Easily done just don't give up on us early diyters! Well done.

@CharlieDIYte 5 лет назад

Thanks so much mate! I think a million is pushing it, but rest assured I won't give up on you lot as it's your comments that keep me doing this when I find myself questioning why I'm spending so much time each weekend editing the videos! Also there's no danger of the videos drying up as my old house is the real hero here as it keeps throwing up content on an almost daily basis. Right now I've got a chimney pot that needs replacing, rusty drain pipes, dripping bathroom taps, shower grout that needs redoing, and a spot of Tyrolean rendering outside, which I've never done but seems like too much fun to give to a someone else to do! The list goes on. Massive thanks for the comment and more generally for supporting my funny little channel!

@davenottingham3254 Год назад

I absolutely love that whatever project I’ve been working on in my house for as long as I can remember I always end up watching some of your videos!

@CharlieDIYte Год назад

Dave, not as much as me 👌👊🙏 So chuffed you find my vids useful and thanks so much for the comment. You have no idea how valuable encouragement is when you're doing this.

@iainmacdonald7034 4 года назад

Really helpful, thanks Charlie. I have my library strips a router, so just waiting for MDF and my home office will have new shelves by end of next week, all being well. Stay safe!

@valborchardt3596 5 лет назад

Greetings again from South Africa. Love your videos, they’re very helpful, take care

@cally3763 5 лет назад

Another great video! I really want to thank you for the information you give and how you make DIY accessible to anyone. I'm female and always wanted to learn to build things around the home, but wasn't allowed to as a kid since it's "not for girls" I recently moved house and was getting quotes for some odd jobs like building some shelves, plumbing in a washing machine, replacing bath sealant and putting up some art/mirrors. The quotes were either ridiculous or they just wouldn't get back to me. I got fed up of being messed around and bought myself a drill and a jigsaw, then headed to RU-vid for some tips. As a beginner it's so confusing in relation to which screws and wall plugs to use, but I stumbled across your video where you trialled the Fischer DuoPower wall plugs in plasterboard. I bought a box and have now been able to do all the work myself, including bespoke shelving. All of the wall fixings are very secure, despite mostly being on plasterboard. You've saved me a lot of money so cheers!

Like somebody else here, I bought the Kreg jig system. Faultless especially when retrofitting adjustable system. Great vid Charlie thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@ivangreat133 5 лет назад

Thanks Charlie, great ideas

@w6263 4 года назад

Thanks for that Charlie! Often wondered about them.

@PetiteBluebirdgirl 5 лет назад

I bought myself the kreg shelf jig, which is also great for marking out door furniture in wardrobes because the spacing is the standand 32mm. Also, i made an additional jig with holes spaced out to 32mm. I used a 5mm drill bit to create those holes which is the standard size for kitchens and cabinets Europe wide. Great video Charlie, I am always learning something new from you. Those library shelf supports would be useful for my new bookcase in my lounge.

@CharlieDIYte 5 лет назад

Thanks Deanne! And I'm learning from you too! That kreg jig sounds the business! Yes the bookcase strips would be ideal for your lounge bookcase!

@ateleskier7066 3 года назад

Very nice of you to make a video relating exactly to my current project. If I send you a list of future projects can you film those for me also please? 🤣. Seriously, it was spot on and very helpful thankyou.

Your welcome Peter. Thanks for the comment.

@normanboyes4983 5 лет назад

Charlie that was excellent - although to be honest for your posh filing cupboard with beautiful shelf fronts - I think battens would have been stronger and maybe cheaper.👍

@Theomite 3 года назад

In the States, those bookcase strips are usually called "pilaster strips." I know, drove me nuts until i found out what they were called too.

@christineoneill316 Год назад

Thank you, opting for the raised as they will be hidden. 👍

@CharlieDIYte Год назад

Good thinking 👌

@christineoneill316 Год назад

@@CharlieDIYte Just in case...🤔😁 I don't own a router and they will be in the the back of a linen cupboard/wardrobe, and they also come in brown! 👍

IT IS NOT just as easy using a level. There is NO way you can get this done without a laser level. My wardrobe is a standing wardrobe. It is old and not level. Whether it be the floor that is out of level or the wardrobe I don't know. I tried following your guide and my shelf is wobbly af. Moreover you don't even bother showing how to mark it step by step with a level. The backing of my wardrobe is shitty 3mm hardboard. Pressing the level as you are doing against the back of the wardrobe causes the wardrobe backing to come out. And there is no way to reach round the back to push it back in as it is in a corner and is attached to another half of it's wardrobe. THE ONLY way yo get this done SEMI accurately is with a laser level. To get it done perfectly accurately, you need large machines that can drill holes, where you can set the parameters precisely to the mm. Large enough to take 200cm x 90cm bits of wood.

Found what I was looking for thanks

@CharlieDIYte 3 года назад

Glad to hear it👍

@jerrybaba2 3 года назад

I had been using my support brackets upside down and the shelves didn't fit, but you explained why they worked better right side up, and sure enough, they fit now. That is exactly what I was looking for, the how and the why of positioning. Thank you!

@CharlieDIYte 3 года назад

Glad you got to the bottom of the problem - and thanks for the comment 👍

@zoelewis8914 3 года назад

I wish my bloke would build me some shelves.. but no here I am watching your videos which are fab btw.. going to be doing this myself.. oh anyone told you that you look Gordon Ramsay(ish) 😁👌🏼

@CharlieDIYte 3 года назад

Thanks Zoe. Ha, yes quite a few, and also Keith Floyd. It seems to be chefs mostly, and occasionally Colin Firth!! Good luck with the shelves. Drop me an email (link in the Description) if you've got any questions along the way 👍🏻

@LiamHill 5 лет назад

Great video Charlie, personally I would never buy the double rebate cutter I would just use two appropriately sized straight bits and run them through the router twice.

@CharlieDIYte 5 лет назад

Yep, that makes perfect sense! Thanks for the comment.

@lotionspotions3143 4 года назад

I’m learning so much from your channel Charlie! Do you also recommend these shelf supports for melamine cabinets? I currently have those plastic supports that are tacked in and they’re all cracked or crumbling at this point. Thanks 🌟

@Singh.RichyRich 5 лет назад

Awesome Stuff Charlie! Time for Dewalt green cross line laser yet?😃

@nigellovatt9982 5 лет назад

Great video. Be careful of that laser light though.

@lenac3587 2 года назад

Thank you for making this video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I bought a crappy cheap chipboard shelves rack. The shelves are screwed into a vertical side planks. Two screws on each side. I think it needs more support so I drilled a hole and insert the stub into it but it keeps falling off. Hence searching online to see what I did wrong

@CharlieDIYte 2 года назад

You welcome Lena. Glad you found it useful and good luck with the work. 👍

@Twobirdsbreakingfree 4 месяца назад

None of these methods have invisible supports. How do they do those four-way intersections in cabinets/storage units where there's a shelf, at the exact same height, on either side of a vertical divider panel, where the shelf supports are completely invisible?

@astridhatfield2292 3 года назад

Can those same shelf supports be used for a built in wardrobe with walls on either side?

@colindavies6504 2 года назад

Hi Charlie, love your content. If I was wanting to add some shelves in a gap between a built-in cupboard and a solid plastered wall, what supports should I use? One side will be a solid plastered wall and the other an Ikea pax frame.

@CharlieDIYte 2 года назад

Thanks Colin. Could you use 1x1 battens and pin and glue 9mm or 12mm MDF above and below with a fascia piece on the front to create a floating shelf illusion? I did that in my old place either side of a chimney breast and it looked great. 🤔

@chrisforwood4775 2 года назад

Hi I have just had a kitchen fitted using the metal shelf supports you use here. Some of the shelves need to be moved - is there an easy way to take the supports out? They will not just pull out or unscrew.

@CharlieDIYte 2 года назад

You should be able to just pull them out. Maybe get a decent pair of long nose pliers.

@RS-Amsterdam 5 лет назад

Great video although I thinks every bodies first thoughts were : Use those little shelf supports (the also come in white plastic and since they have only to deal with shear force they are strong enough) . - Other thing, to mark how deep you need to drill you're better of to use those adjustable rings you can mount on your drill. Here in Europe the often come in 6, 8 and 10 mm in a set (you also find them in dowel sets) We all used taped and there are 2 disadvantages : 1. If you dig deeper , the drill waist can not come out 2. If you drill like 6 holes, after the second one the tape has moved to the back so you end up with deeper and deeper holes after a while. Thanks for sharing.

@CharlieDIYte 5 лет назад

Thanks for that. Yes, I nearly used the drill stop but I thought tape is something everyone can get their hands on. Also the drill stop could make a mark on a newly painted cupboard wall.

@suj1945 5 лет назад

If you want to make them even more hidden, rebate the shelf where the supports are. IKEA have this on their black TV cabinets.

@paulpoco22 9 месяцев назад

Kitchen cabinets with the peg holes that end up falling out then your shelf falls down.

@ARichardsons 4 года назад

Hey Charlie! Has the MDF been strong enough for these shelf pins over time? I am building an entertainment center and initially planned to use support pins, but worried about ruining the integrity of the MDF with multiple shelf pin holes. Please let me know! :)

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

Yes mate, they haven't moved at all. They're a good option.

@ChristopherClaudioSkierka 2 года назад

Hi Charlie, what screws did you use? I was wondering because being used with mdf I am a little worried with the holding power of the tiny screws? thanks , Chris

@CharlieDIYte 2 года назад

They would have been gold screws from Screwfix, but don't forget, once the bookcase strip is in position it will be held in place also by the shelves so the screws are just to hold it initially in place. The load is strictly downward rather than cantilever, so the strip would want to be sat against wood at the bottom rather than floating.

@sadiq-qm4fb 2 года назад

Can you make a video on how to hang heavy shelves onto concrete wall.

@CharlieDIYte 2 года назад

I did something similar here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vh_W8_KGngo.html Hope that helps.

@sadiq-qm4fb 2 года назад

6.5 ft wide 27 inches height, 10 inches deep, kind of like horizonal bookshelf, which is heavy and made of mdf 5/8". Also don't want to install angle bracket at the bottom. I am thinking of screwing a horizontal strip of wood or MDF on the wall for vertical support. And a few small angle bracket at the top to fix it to the wall.

@cobberpete1 5 лет назад

Or you could be a cheap scape like me and buy a pallet load of old Gov bookcases / desks for the equivalent of £7, and salvage the hardware. I got the about 16mts of strip, draw slides and handles. Of course I did not tell my client that when I quoted for the bookcase he wanted ;D

@CharlieDIYte 5 лет назад

That's inspired! I bet the hardware was top quality as well!
