Thanks a lot!!!

Nice, thanks!!!

Gaelen Bolland Your nomination for best comment has officially been entered.

That’s actually a really good idea, thanks for sharing that

Sounds good to me (says the grandma two years after the video who was able to put together an IKEA bed all by herself but needs to hire someone to make these for me)!

Awesome man thanks! I have your latest video all cued up and ready to watch tonight!!!

@Bruce A. Ulrich, I had the same thought that's a pretty smart idea

WIBruce A. Ulrich

I thought the same exact thing - very cool! Nice build too!

Also add a little stain in the joints before you put it together and then burnish it and you will never see the joint

Ha! Those work boots are so comfortable I wear them whenever I can

enby Little Sheldon did it.

Carolynn Alvarez Awesome!!!

Thanks!!!

Glad to help, Thanks!!!

Thanks!!!

Most of the work in this video is beginner level and the person making it doesn't even have a basic grasp on proper tool usage and very little woodworking experience. I definitely would not use these techniques as it is a wonder he still has all his fingers.

Awesome thanks! That butcher block is about 70 years old and came out of a butchers shop. It's absolutely amazing with dovetail keyed joints. what are you planning to do with yours? I've been thinking about building an island for my kitchen...

Is there a reason you cant screw them in from the back?

@@djsmith6247 watching this now and scratching my head about this as well. I'd counter sink so as not to damage the wall, but I see no advantage to this method.

What type of wood did you use? I missed it

I'm not sure of the porn part but, that slick slide dust collector got me all tingling 😋

Thank you!!!

Do you think 2x3 is as strong? Using 2x4 loses 1 inch of vertical space for each shelf installed.

Thanks! We talked thru that and she liked the even look so I went with that.

Hahaha! Thanks!!!

I have to admit that my husband has a basement and garage full of vintage tools with missing...everything?... and I drooled a little at that saw! Tax Refund O Rama!

Gordon Reiher Awesome, thanks! I saw someone do it years ago and I thought the same thing!!!

Rob D That’s awesome, thanks!!!

+Joshua Krohn good eye!

Joshua Krohn where?

My questions exactly! I came scrolling comments to see if anyone answered lol

It looked like simple pine uses for the actual shelving. Maybe 1x8? And to fasten to the frame it looks like he just screwed in a few screws from the top into the frame once it was all together. You can see him do it to the first shelve he hangs.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Large dows and glue. No nails, no screws.

6 inch TimberLOK hurricane lags would probably be the best option. Not sure I would trust dowels and glue.

Nice upgrade for sure! If you've got the scratch for it :)

Teeth, Nose, Teeth. Love that show!

Felix Balde absolutely! Lose the hair and add a suit and some cheesy lines and voila!

I have the volume up when he talks but the music is too loud. I'm a musician and love rock and roll.

Fastening the shelf to the frame doesn't require much. I'll bet not much more than a single screw at the back in the center from either above or below depending on the position of the shelf in order to hide the screw. I made the exact same type of shelf a year ago only mine was a lot beefier. Mine was 24" deep and 52" wide and attached to the wall using three 1/2" lag screws each 4 inches long. You could park a truck on it

oobaka1967 nailed it...or screwed it...anyway, yeah, I just used one screw in the center which is more than enough if the cases fit snuggly over the frames. If not and they're "loose" just use more screws to snug it up. Hope that helps!

Thanks for answering the question, you were spot on!!!

I'm here to help.

oobaka1967 thx, I’d like to build a floating shelf for a sink countertop in my bathroom. One would be 24”x38”, another 24”x42”, and possibly two 24”x50”. They would all be in corners. Any words of wisdom to a newbie? If your technique could hold a truck, I’m hoping a sink, faucet, toothbrush etc wouldn’t over load it. Thoughts? Wood type? Sealer for waterproofing?

You're welcome, thank you!!!

what do you have then? solid concrete? how would that be easier?

@@AsTheWheelsTurn .. yea man, in other parts of the world, we have : - cement sand brick wall. - claybrick wall. - hollow brick wall - concrete wall.. all with or without plaster and paint finish. no cardboard wall on studs for us, save us the hassle of locating the studs. so, mounting anything on this walls need good sturdy wall plugs and/or anchor bolts.

we dont have cardboard walls here, it is sheetrock, basically plaster paneling with more plaster on top of that for a texture or smooth finish.makes it nice for putting wiring and pipes in the walls, finding studs is not difficult at all, drilling concrete walls to put anchors in and having that be accurate sounds more difficult to me but each to his own, we have earthquakes here so masonry walls just crumble and crack and get ruined, a wood frame structure will flex and shake around but it ends up ok after. just because something is built in a different way does not make it inferior.there are still lots of building built of brick in the US anyway but we still put stud walls with sheetrock and plaster on the inside.@@bahardin3992

I don't even charge my cordless tool batteries...just buy new fully charged ones...

Ryan Penir that’s brilliant, I mean why waste the money on your energy bill when those batteries are so incredibly cheap!

Finally somebody gets it!!!

LMAO

It’s like when your printer runs out of ink. Just buy a new printer. It’s cheaper

Tyg Rahof people underestimate the use of air borne contanimates. No mask during sanding. No mask during staining.

1 Tripudio agree

Agree

The music is great.

and that music is obnoxiously loud while your mic is not. level it up dude

agree very much a lot of people can't get that right!!!

A basic pocket jig is 20 bucks.

Awesome, thanks!

Awesome, Thank you!!!
