    I'm a complete novice at DIY, but really don't want to be reliant on others, so want to undertake some DIY jobs myself. Your tutorial was really helpful. Wish me luck

    To those new to DIY projects. Save money by using your cellphone and not buying a bubble level. Smart phones have built in gyroscope sensors. You can find a good bubble level app for both iPhone and Android phones.

    Thanks. I'm going to put up two 48 inch shelves in my garage. I'm a 78 year old woman with limited experience but now I'm sure I can do it. Thanks for your guidance. I appreciate it. Never say never!&

    The tape around the bit and cardboard over the anchor are actually great ideas I'll use from now on . Ive been doing these types of jobs on my own all my life and I've never thought of those ideas . Thank you

      No joke! A search for shelf hanging videos first brings up loads of floating shelves or people hanging 12 ft long live edge shelf desks. I just wanted a simple shelf for my craft space. This was perfect and no needless stories!

  • @PeachyTeafy

    Very clear and helpful information! I just adopted a cat and really want to build him cat walks, but I have never done anything like that before.
    Love the tip about using carboard as a wall guard, it's so simple but sometimes you just don't think of something like that until the damage is done!

    @MicSokol 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    If you are attaching the shelf in a non solid wall, and you are using only two brackets for the shelf it is much easier to attach the brackets to the board first, then put a level on top of the shelf and attach screws.

    A quick question whilst I'm here, I drilled 4 holes into an internal solid wall for shelf brackets, but the holes are a bit off even though I marked it correctly. I now need to drill another 4 holes slightly higher and to the left. How far apart do the holes need to be from the first set of holes to avoid weakening the new drilled holes?
    Also, any advice for drilling holes accurately without the drill bit wondering off? I'm thinking off using a much smaller drill bit first and then working my way upto the 8mm bit that I need. Thank you kindly.

    So I bought some cheap ass brackets from Ikea and when I got home I was wondering how am I supposed to fix them on the wall when the holes are so tiny and I should probably not use a screw big enough to eat through the plastic. So I started looking on TH-cam and I found this video where you use exactly the same brackets. But I didn't get the chance to see what size screw you used and how it fits through the bracket hole.

    Very helpful, but, what if you find that the bracket isn't level? Is there a simple fix? I have all brick walls, if I get the hole just out of alignment I find it impossible to drill a new hole in the right place, so have to bodge it!
