When you're cutting the drywall, it helps to tape something under it, across the area you'll be cutting. Like a piece of paper folded upward to catch the dust. Then just toss the paper that caught all the mess instead of breaking out the vac.

That’s a great idea April! Too simple! Your floating shelves look great and are practical. I especially like your hidden storage box. Thanks for sharing this great idea. Hope you’ve enjoyed a relaxing weekend!
April, your imagination seems to never end. you are easy to learn from. you do quick scenes but they are easy to follow and understand. This is a great series. Hope you do lots more videos.
Nice work April. But that crosscut on your table saw right after you sprayed the wd40 is really dangerous. You can attach a block to the fence and adjust it accordingly and push the work piece through with the miter slider
Good afternoon, April! THIS is SO cool! I've done something similar, but like this MUCH better! Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you're having a great weekend! God bless.
Long time viewer, first time commenter. Nah, I've commented a few times. Suggestion: put the WD-40 Precision Pen on your list. They look way cool, like a paint pen I've used before, and I need to order them. I know you will have a use for them also. FedEx just delivered my Specialist Dry Lube I ordered the other day. Happy to help. Love your videos. Looking to hide a few things around the house. Thanks.
@@AprilWilkerson thank you for responding. I saw that the two boxes were attached together… are they secured to the wall aside from being slid through the hole? And how? Sometimes weight can make things slide out or tilt….
Mine aren't but I won't have anything heavy inside. If you're concerned you could caulk around the back if you have access, as I do. Thanks for watching.
I make the following suggestion: We have a contest. The contest is entered by suggested something April make the 'trinket' into. Winner get nothing but the glory of having April make the trinket into their 'thing'. Yes - there can be multiple winners. April is final word on all rules of the contest including whether or not this contest exists. I'll go first. Chess rook. Post your suggestion in a reply below my comment so we can keep all suggestions together and make it easier for the media team to manage.
You could easily cut a piece of drywall to fit and use that, but getting it nice and flush and not damaging the edges could be a problem. Perhaps covering the wood with joint compound and rolling on multiple layers of paint would do the trick.
All of the other shelves have wall colored painted back panels as well. None of them have drywall showing through. The French cleat is behind the painted back panel on all of the shelves as she showed in a previous video. So this is consistent with every other shelf she has there.
@@onlyychevys um, I've watched the whole series. All of the shelves are the same. Same painted back panel, just this one is removable and has more behind it.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but why wouldn't you just build the hidden box completely first and then attach it to the inside of the other one? It seems like it would be easier, but is there a benefit to not doing that?
@@AprilWilkerson I think u misinterpreted lucky. Yes ur a very hard worker and know how to build so many cool things with an amazing shop full of cool tools that u worked very hard for. I was thinking lucky in regards that u you found a great property and have met what looks like a great group of helpful friends that help u when needed. Not specifically this video but others.
Hey April, I'm not sure that works what you said you know about having a million and a half followers. Here's why I'm saying that, support a quarter of a million or even fifty million of you subscribers passed away during covid . Then that would only mean that if they weren't able to cancel their subscriptions before they passed away that they weren't really following your content anymore. So in closing, shouldn't you actually exclaim, " Maybe you have a million and a half people still following your content after covid?"

Oh I LOVE that. Sufficiently subtle, and a bit obscure to get to. A nice combination.
Thanks! Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
@AprilWilkerson if I was not already subscribed...you had me at hidden...lol! You are such a clever woman! Thanks for keeping things easy to follow.
Thank you for sharing your insights, your consistency and passion reflect in every video.
Thank you!

April I've been watching your videos since 2015 and I've enjoyed every minute of it. You're the best! and you're greatly appreciated.👍🏾❤
Thank you so much! And thanks for staying along for the ride! :)

FINALLY. A place to store my WD-40.
Great idea, April. Thanks for the video.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Great idea.
Thanks!

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying my Channel. Thanks for watching.
I'm enjoying a lot with the loft series :3
A secret hidden spot, you'll never think of... I love it.
You're amazing in building things.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my Channel. Thanks for watching.
Really cool April! 😃👍🏼👊🏼
Thank you!!
thanks April!
place looks great. 🪚🔨🪛

Brilliant idea🤩🤩 Thanks for sharing this great cabinet..👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Really love this idea.
So glad!
very nice....
Thank you!
I love this project.
Great! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I love working with magnets. I hope you tested magnet polarity before you glued up the magnets- otherwise it would push the door closed. 😂
Very awesome
Thanks! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
That's awesome! Cops will never find the stash 😅
You got that right!
Very cool!😊👏👏👏 ❤️🌹
Really neat idea, who would've thunk? Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
My grandma was a cookie fiend and would hide them so she always had extras if we ran out. She would have loved this.
What a great Story! Thanks for Sharing with us and for watching.
Very awesome!!! ❤️

Heck yeah a secret hidden spot its coming together also must ready so ya can relax and read a book have a great week ahead and be safe
Thanks! You too. Thanks for watching.
1.5 M subscribers - that ain't bad atol.
@AprilWilkerson I don't see the links for your hidden projects...pun not intended...lol.
Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Question….how do you attach it? I understand it slides into a hole in the wall, but how is it secured so it doesn’t slide or tilt out?
It's attached to the box in front. So it's an extended box with a false back, in between. Thanks for watching.

Thank you very much!
@@AprilWilkerson You are a very welcome April! Cheers!
Bonne video bon travail 👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Where is the playlist of hidden compartments mentioned?
Isn't that going to create a coldspot, as you removed isolation there?
As I have access to the backside, I insulated everything after the project was completely finished. Thanks for watching.
Nice shelves where are the instructions for the cupboards beside the floating shelves? Thanking you in advance
Did you insulate the box? or will it be a "hot spot"
Yep, but since I have access to the backside (from the attic) I insulated everything after the entire project was done.
Cool 😎
Thanks!

An elevated loft with no security railing? Is that allowed per Texas building code?
She probably has not got that far.
Glass Railing being customed built and will be installed in a later video. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching.

Cool idea but no texture on the hidden wall panel. OCD I guess, again cool idea and I love this series of video's!

@@LiqdPT It is an awesome video! Maybe you should watch closer again? It don't matter either way, I enjoyed it and I hope you did to.
@@onlyychevys um, I've watched the whole series. All of the shelves are the same. Same painted back panel, just this one is removable and has more behind it.
@@LiqdPT OK lets just say I am wrong and move along?
So, secret for just you and 1.5 million followers!
Yep! Mum's the word! :) Thanks for watching.
I hope you don't spray that stuff on *_"everything"_* in your shop. Maybe skip things like tool handles and floors? 🙂
Maybe this is a dumb question, but why wouldn't you just build the hidden box completely first and then attach it to the inside of the other one? It seems like it would be easier, but is there a benefit to not doing that?
Girl ur such a badass!
Edit: a lucky badass 😊❤
Thanks but luck has nothing to do with it. A lot of hard work. Ha! Thanks for watching.

Glad your 1.55M followers will be the only people who will know about your secret hiding spot. Mums the word. 🤐
Right? :) Thanks for watching.
Okay you have jokes❤
👍✌️👏👌💯
The hidden storage is not hidden anymore.
She took the hit for the rest of us.
: ) haha yes! I also didn't show y'all my final trinket that unlocks it. So unless you bring a magnet when you rob my house, it won't open for you.
It would help if you gave them the same wall texture treatment to the panel as you can do on your back wall.
True! But I don't care that much. : ) Once they are full of books, there is very little space shown
Not hidden anymore😢
Your secret is safe with me, but I can't speak for the rest of your subscribers.
Shhh. :) Thanks for watching.
Awesome shelving/hidden compartment! Now we know you may plan on cheating at Monopoly in the future! Hee Hee!😁
That's right! My secret stash of Monopoly Money! Thanks for watching.
Don't hide your millions in there
Nope! Only Monopoly money. Thanks for watching.

No way to know but the numbers keep going up so maybe more are coming aboard. :) Thanks for watching.
Thank you Romans 10:9-13❤
I enjoy watching sneaky hidden storage builds. They are always fun! The magnet idea is so simple, and clever April! 🧲 🤔😃
Yes they are fun! Glad you like them. Thanks for watching.
