My hubby salvaged a piece of full 3 x 6 barn beam from a job he was doing. About 7 ft long. Drilled 5 holes into wall studs. Epoxied 8" spikes (heads clipped off) into the holes. Transposed locations to the beam drilled 5 holes. Test fit and then more epoxy. I can park a truck on that mantle now.
Its awesome your wife lets you spend that much time in the garage around all those bad ass tools. Lucky man! My old lady would be trying to get me to clean the kitchen.
On the maple….why did you screw it to the wall frame…little bit of glue and a couple brads…plus on the maple there was a noticeable gap to the wall….scribe it to the wall, it's super easy and much better ..NO EXPOSED SCREWS ..NO GAPS …….just saying
For the third example, are the screws at the top needed in that last step or can you just screw the bottom of the shelf? Shame you see screws in the final shelf after all that work! Thanks for the video:)
Man, I gotta wear a mask with organic filters when working with stain or sprain paint in an enclosed area. I feel really ill the remainder of the day if I don't. Just me ?
I had neve thought about making a full frame for the insert, I have just used the struts on a base and attached it to the wall. Pre-drilling makes sense, thank you.
I think you should be more cautious when handling acetone. Ventilation and PPE are recommended. Great ideas otherwise.
awesome! How deep do you think I can make the intermediate shelve with the single support? I have a 17"w x 10"d shelf I'd like to build.

Slow down with the hurry hurry hurry step right up talk at the beginning …
boop ba dee bop bop
What tool did you use to round the edges?
How much weight do you think the middle version could hold?
Who agrees that the beginner version is probably the strongest?

Is the miter cut necessary if I'm painting instead of staining?
oh man i need a sander with suction like that worst part of everything i build is getting covered in dust

The intermediate shelf , could you make it larger as in coming off the wall further like a ten inch? Or is that not recommended?
Mr. Build it and also talk too much
how's the first one a floating shelf if you see the brackets
Hey Mr. Build It. You did give the wood dimensions for the last shelf. Are they the same as shelf 2 but with miters?
I love that you use a ton of Ryobi!
A million adverts make it unwatchable.
Lol…. a "floating Shelf" with exposed brackets holding it up is literally the exact opposite of a floating shelf.
🤣👍
