The $20 Floating Shelf - Easy DIY Project! 

how much weight can they hold?

How much was it

Seems adding a French cleat using hardwood like red oak is the way to go also lets you easily remove the shelf later if need be

heyy quick question… do you happen to know about how much weight it can hold up to???

@@samyraestrada26 I wouldn’t put more than 25 lbs on it. It’s pretty sturdy but remember it has a piece of wood and I have 4 screws supporting the shelf.

Thank you! Glad to be back!

🤣 It shows he is enjoying his project ...all done 🤩

Well .... how did it go Jackie?

@@davipartin9543 went very well, 82" long mantel, I decided to take my first attempt at beveling the sides of it and it came out great! Even made two others without the bevel for my laundry room! Thank you for the easy tutorial!

@@Craftyblonde1 for the shelves in your laundry room, do the shelves hold detergent and other heavy items ?

Thanks so much!

I was hoping to get the answer to this too

@@ReganShopsAmazon I’m guessing not very much weight.

I would probably think the max weight would be 50-75lbs, however, shelves like this are not meant for things that are that heavy, Nick Naks, Towels, cups, display items and such, your not going to be storying 300lb weights or anything. so just use logic and reasoning. The weakest point of this shelf will be the screws that hold the self to the 2x2 because you have only a thin area between the screw and the edge of the board, you could strength it a bit by clueing the whole top edge then screw it down thus adding more resistance to the weak points. but this is definitely not meant for heavy weights over 100lbs. also the wider the shelf, the weaker it will be on the front edge. think gravity is always pulling down. hope this helps.

I know, its so passionate 😂😂

Thanks so much for watching!

Oh you can do it too!

Thanks! We've been working on DIY projects for our book coming out in January! That's wrapped up now so hoping to kick out more vids...

Thanks! Yeah it's been too long, hoping to step it up here....

Haha, she wouldn't stop bugging us until she made an appearance!

Thanks for watching!

My husband said the same thing 😂😂

Thanks for watching! We're hoping to increase our output here now that our book projects have wrapped up!

Probably, you'll want more of a structure for the frame and I'd suggest using wood glue with finishing nails instead of wood screws.

Then a 4''x4'' he

I know your question is 3 years old lol, but you’re absolutely correct. I wish they would’ve said what their solution to this was because obviously 1+1+2 is 4, the same height as the front of the shelf, but of course lumber is a quarter of an inch smaller meaning the total for the back of shelf is 3.25” whereas the front of the shelf is 3.75”. I assume their solution to this was just to have the top of the shelf “sit” on the 2x2 with a half inch gap below that. Not exactly ideal for a shelf that likely won’t hold much weight to begin with. I suppose you could use 3.5” inch screws that would be long enough to “reach” the bottom half of the shelf past the gap.

Thanks! As long as you attach the 2x2s to studs it should hold just fine. We're planning on using it for dishes/cup/etc.

De nada!

the rehab life i like when answer in spanish, double thank you

We're planning on it!

What the hell, pretty sure it would run me like 60 and most for the wood

Gracias and hello to the Balearic Islands!

Not much, look at the physics. It's just for decorations and a small plant.

Thanks!
