That dust collection port is one of the reasons I went with Festool for my new router. It's crazy how well they do dust collection on all of their tools.
Live edge walnut, cats, metal working, and a Katz Moses tee shirt..I’m not sure it can get any better. Maybe have 2112 playing in the background? Nice work👍
Gorgeous shelves….and it think it goes really well with the purple soundproofing in the end. After it was decorated I imagine it was beautiful! As always, i came for the woodworking, but glimpses of tiny furballs did not disappoint! Maybe one day you could show some outtakes of you with the cats answering YT questions over a cup of coffee (what would they put in their little mugs….tuna water? Bone broth? LOL it would be adorable either way, those 2 are probably better woodworkers than some of us-my feline friends and i have learned alot!!
Having just installed a similar set of "floating shelves" with live edges, I really appreciated your video! I used the Rockler system, which is not as elegant or expensive as your custom metal bracket, but it did the job. Very nice work, especially the matching of the shelves with the desk!
I thought the same thing... every single time I've done it for customers. I use 5/8" threaded rods epoxied into holes drilled into studs. I have an frame jig I built to keep them level and perpendicular in two directions (mostly lattice wood with holes appropriately located). Now I can say I've got it dialed in and down as a predictable thing if I'm dealing with stud walls or concrete. Wall anchors NEVER work. Commercial brackets suck too.
I'm a Product Design Student (still taking my MA in Product Design, but i already graduated in Industrial Design). Everytime I get a chance to do a project with wood, or I have the chance to make the project direction towards wood, you're always on my mind because your craftsmanship and mastery really inspires me, and makes me wanna be better at understanding wood and working with it. You really do bring out the beautiful in wood, you make it a special material
When it comes to my Wife’s family, I always say Houghton+1; where Houghton is their surname and plus one, because whatever time they say it’ll take, I always add either one hour or one day on top of it. Perhaps it’s time to be kind to yourself, Keith, and think about Johnson+1; so you know that whatever time you give yourself, you always add more on so you’re prepared, because, bloody hell do you choose the awkward jobs! 😂 As a side note, it looks awesome. The details you consider when making a job is very impressive (the wall brackets are genius). I understand that you have to take the jobs that pay the bills my good man, so hats off to you for taking the consistently challenging ones.
Awesome project and well executed Keith! I can only imagine how much of a pain it was to drill those holes for the bracket 😬 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full slab floating shelf before. But as always, your work is true master class craftsmanship!
I’ve been using regular Lag bolts to do mine. Drill them right into the studs, cut the heads off with a hack saw, put the shelf on top and mark a line. Drill holes and hammer them on. No glue needed, they hold on super tight!
This is my new favorite woodworking channel! Thanks for telling it like it is, and not sugar coating your mistakes. That's valuable for all us other woodworkers. I love walnut, so with all your walnut projects you got me hooked! haha Thanks, and keep up the good work! P.S. You've got some nifty tools! Thanks for telling us what they are too!
Reamer... Use a sliding jig table with two stops on the drill press. A decent drill press can handle the lateral load if you slide slowly, and the deflection won't really matter because: wood.
I sense that you are destined to move to a larger shop in the future? You seem to be spending a lot of time over there these days just to be able to handle the work. I would miss the charm your shop has (and the twins). Your garage is such a masterclass in organization and use of space it gives us hope that we too will someday be so organized.
Was wondering about why you slotted a pocket for the shelf to accept the rod. Was the original plan for the shelf to slide left over the rod and into a slot in the sound proofing?
I had to do some precise metal cuts for a crane I was building and I used a water jet instead of laser cutting because of the warping. My first attempts were too warped to use. I don't know what the advantage of laser cutting metal is, maybe price?
Hovr are 1-1/2" thick and these shelves are barely 1-5/8", so that's a pretty tight fit, leaving only 1/16" of material top and bottom. And the initial plan for these shelves was to remove strips of soundproofing (not giant panel like we decided to do) and slide the shelves in - that wouldn't have worked with having to angle the shelves up and then lock them down on to the Hovr brackets. Not to say it couldn't have worked, though.
Once you got the initial holes cut, an arbor bit might have been a better selection than a Forstner bit. Forstner bits are designed to produce a flat bottomed hole, which is not useful in this case, and the longer flutes on an arbor bit would have made the drilling far quicker. I like Irwin Speed Bore bits, but manufacturer is not important.
Ive made something similar this way . The better approach imo. is to make a jig for carving out the inside of a half, glue the two hollow pieces together. Anyways good job.
resaw the shelves in half and use a bowl bit in your router to make a stopped dado at the same distances on both inside faces, glue it back together and you have perfect deep holes for the hardware. since you ended up laminating one of the slabs anyway you wouldnt even see the seem if you did that after making the holes
Theres a turning chisel called a "bedan". I think it would be an excellent tool to accomplish deep chisels. No, you didn't ask, but may be helpful info in the future. Love your work. Thanks for the fine examples, work, and entertainment. Please give Jerry my regards.
I’d guess there’s a weight reason why IKEA is making its LACK floating shelves out of cardboard filled plywood. And its holding metal structure is recessed within the shelves corpus.
Beautiful build as always!... the 8" depth on the shelf supports seems like massive overkill... were they planning on have children jump on the shelves? Lol... that's some serious engineering.
Could you have dominod two boards together (but not glue them together) drill the holes in the two boards, then glue together? captain hindsight here...
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking you inspire me and my woodworking. I learn a lot from you and am always excited when you come out with a new video. Thanks!
If you want to use a jigsaw in that thicc solid wood you can buy the also very much overpriced 640+ bucks Mafell one. They have a special jigsaw blade which only fits in their machine that is thicker and cuts through solid wood like a track saw. Nah I'm not sure about that really.
I'm always wondering how much you guy's are charging for a set of those floating shelves. If i'm looking how much work you are putting in these they seem quite expensive. Seems that outside of europe people's are spending a lot of money on semi-hand build things. In western europe almost everybody is expecting to have a perfect quality item with a spot-on finishing for cheap. Which is ofcourse the reason why 99% of the work we are doing is completely cnc programmed
I'm still in business, so I guess I charged enough 😜. And yes, everyone wants perfection and don't necessarily want to pay for it. It makes it very difficult.
So can assume im gonna start seeing panto routers in use on other furniture channels that "just happen" to use all the cool super expensive tools like festool, woodpecker, the self driving router, etc....ill click over to the epoxy table dude, and the two skinny guys that do super soft spoken narration, or the mere mortals guy or.........

The aluminum bushings/spacers was a stroke of brilliance. Such. Great. Work. ❤
Thank you very much! It seemed to do the trick!
Hi Keith. I also have a little experience in hanging such shelves, so I can say with confidence - everything is done perfectly. Good job!
Thanks very much! There are definitely lots of great options out there. 👍
Those look beautiful. And ... I love the purple - my favorite color. Also, love that Jerry is such a great shop supervisor.

Perfect, I’m not very well received 😂
Where do you get those circle work piece spacer things?
These? amzn.to/3XkBQCw
You have a panto router now! Wow those things are expensive but they look pretty sweet!
Yeah, it's an amazing and versatile little machine. Excited to experiment more with it.
Floating shelves are huge pain in the tush. We need to convince people that shelf brackets can look nice also!
😂 let’s start the petition!
Reamer... Use a sliding jig table with two stops on the drill press. A decent drill press can handle the lateral load if you slide slowly, and the deflection won't really matter because: wood.
The holes still wouldn’t be deep enough. And I’m not risking the precision of someone else’s drill press by laterally reaming holes. 😂
I sense that you are destined to move to a larger shop in the future? You seem to be spending a lot of time over there these days just to be able to handle the work. I would miss the charm your shop has (and the twins). Your garage is such a masterclass in organization and use of space it gives us hope that we too will someday be so organized.
Don’t worry, I’m never moving into a larger shop. The monthly overhead is far too much.
nice work as always, cool contrast against purple (btw hate that color) soundproof material which made a pleasant color match, cheers V!
Thanks! Yeah, purple can be very polarizing 😂
Was wondering about why you slotted a pocket for the shelf to accept the rod. Was the original plan for the shelf to slide left over the rod and into a slot in the sound proofing?
Yes, that was the original plan.
love the videos, love the podcast. thanks for the content
Thanks for watching AND listening! I greatly appreciate the support 🙏🙌
With Osmo and Rubio, are you able to wash and reuse the microfiber cloths or are they considered disposable?
Disposable. Once the finish hardens, the cloths get too stiff to reuse.
I had to do some precise metal cuts for a crane I was building and I used a water jet instead of laser cutting because of the warping. My first attempts were too warped to use. I don't know what the advantage of laser cutting metal is, maybe price?
Interesting! I don't have access to anyone with a water jet, unfortunately.
I’m curious on why you went custom with brackets and didn’t use something like the Hovr brand brackets?
Hovr are 1-1/2" thick and these shelves are barely 1-5/8", so that's a pretty tight fit, leaving only 1/16" of material top and bottom. And the initial plan for these shelves was to remove strips of soundproofing (not giant panel like we decided to do) and slide the shelves in - that wouldn't have worked with having to angle the shelves up and then lock them down on to the Hovr brackets. Not to say it couldn't have worked, though.

👍 Total Boat Baby!! Another great project! Thank you sir

As i mentioned, those types are too aggressive and difficult to stop since they are meant for through holes
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Sorry, must have missed that part.
@@jandrewmore No worries!
Ive made something similar this way .
The better approach imo. is to make a jig for carving out the inside of a half, glue the two hollow pieces together.
Anyways good job.
Cool, thanks!
Just a thought given that you had joined the panel could you have drilled the holes on each board then glued up?
which holes are you referreing to?
“That’s what she said!” 8:53 12:10 basically most of what you said while drilling the holes in the back 😂
My man! 😂🤣 Always applicable…
Beautiful work. All those shelves need is a cat sitting on them.
😹 the next set I build will actually be cat specific 😉
resaw the shelves in half and use a bowl bit in your router to make a stopped dado at the same distances on both inside faces, glue it back together and you have perfect deep holes for the hardware. since you ended up laminating one of the slabs anyway you wouldnt even see the seem if you did that after making the holes
Not the route I wanted to take on this one, despite having to do it on one of them. I wasn't happy about that either.
Lovely stuff KJ 👌
