Not a mistake on the molding, you just did a custom design job that was fluid. Excellent work there April the shelves came out real nice in that corner. I love that you take credit for any errors you run into as it might just help someone just getting started to see that we all do things just like that and the sun still comes up the next day, no big deal, fix it and continue on with a lesson learned.
April! This may seem like a backhanded compliment, but I assure you I mean it with the highest respect: I LOVE that you actually chronicle your mistakes as well as your successes instead of editing or omitting them from the video. I find that no matter the complexity or simplicity of whatever project I'm working on, I always end up making little mistakes here and there and I think especially for DIY'ers that watch instructional type videos online...there are too many videos that you just know omit that footage to save face. It's refreshing and shows just how steadfast your humility and problem solving capabilities are. As always, lovely work!
Great work! Thanks for not excluding the molding oversight. I think it helps a lot to see the humanity in you TH-cam stars doing your projects. And, while human, you're a superstar!
The floating shelves really do create an open space with visual breathing room, while a free standing shelf would feel crowded. You made a very good interior design solution. As for the molding, solving problems is far more important than avoiding mistakes. It will turn out great.
Way to go, girl. Love the asymmetrical shelves. It speaks to your creativity. If you do it right, (and you clearly have) the result is much better than a plain old symmetrical setup. Nicely done.
: ) Actually, they are symmetrical. That right wall is longer then the left. I went back and forth several times on whether to make the shelves compensate for this difference or not but decided to have the shelves stay the same length and have extra wall on the right. I'm glad you think it looks nice!
Great project, the shelves look great. Great personality, you're likable and your instruction is easy to follow. I like that you showed your mistakes that let us relate to and learn from. Keep making more videos!
I like that you allowed the error to show. you corrected and moved on. that's motivation for on not giving up on my blunders. thanks for that. the floating shelves look great!
Very nice project. I love that your not scared to show us your mistakes. It really shows your viewers, that you are a real person. keep up the great work. it i might ask where did you get the router table in this video?
Nice job April , don't let the mistake on the molding bug you too much , we all make them. Look at as a plan change and problem to solve in the project . Like how you solved the problem of not having enough material for the wider shelves . I have a big molding bit like that and never used it but this video gives me ideas and the courage ( yeah the huge bit scares me ) to try it out .
This was really inspirational... I was trying to find a video for my father to use as a guide. However, after watching a female complete the job independently I feel eager to assist him in creating them. Thank you!!
Thank you so much April, for your videos. I have two corners in my dining room that I could not figure out what to do with. You're video has inspired me , and now I know what I have to do. Thanks again. Oh by the way, your hubby is one lucky dude!!! 🙂
Nice work april. One thing to help with your caulking. If you drag your index finger at the tip of the caulking tube behind it as you apply the caulking it makes a nice clean bead that is easy to do with no waste of extra caulking.
Cool shelves, April! Gave me a couple ideas. I guess I never attempted them because I was always fixated on mounting fully-constructed floating shelves by shoving them onto protruding dowel pins (which means achieving a nearly-impossible alignment between the dowel holes in the wall and their counterparts in the shelf), as you might do with mounting a slab for a shelf. Your approach of mounting a partially-constructed shelf using screws, then attaching the remaining skin afterward, was one of those, "Oh! Yeah! " moments for me..... :)
I really like how the second-from-the-top shelf is not a full corner shelf like the others. It gives you room for taller items and adds some visual interest to the corner.
They came out fantastic! I hate when I've not included a thickness and had to go back. I look at it as another mini obstacle to overcome at the same time!
Great work as always April !! I think the smaller shelf may have flowed a little better as the third down instead, and it's out of the way for the double wall switch.
Do you know what I really love about you April, when you make a mistake you tell us. And do you know what ,we all make mistakes. I think your tutorial videos are excellent Mrs. Even all the way from Glasgow 👍👍👍
Great job, Miss April! I'll be making similar shelves soon as well, but in distressed style. BTW: 2:42 is that "signature shrug" I mentioned in another video ... grin. Keep up the great work!
This table comes with a silver screw in pin (if you look close you can see me using it) that I can place on the table top and use it as a fence to help guide my piece of wood in. It worked great! But that way I can remove the bulky fence and it not be in my way.
Thanks for keeping your mistake in the video. I not only need to know how to do some project, but I also need to know not to give up when I do make a mistake. Furthermore, I need confidence that if I do make a mistake, that I do have the ability to see a work around. Keep up the good work!
Great way to do the shelves and exactly what I have been looking for for in my office. I am adding these to my list of to dos very soon. Need the space in my office to help with a bit of the clutter. Thanks for posting, look forward to the next video. CtL
My vote is to keep the molding as-is. You've inadvertently created a shadow line which helps put the shelf tops in stark relief. The overall effect is very nice!
April, nice job. someone else may have already mentioned this I do not read all the comments. But you could always invert or turn your molding which you said ended up too short or narrow and start it from the top off shelf flat surface and then it would look more intentional of a design. after paint no one would know other than you . still as it is it looks Great.
hi!!! I just wanted to say thank you for uploading these videos.. i know it's kinda awkward for a girl like me to watch carpenting videos on my free time but uh, you really inspire me to build things and be creative with what I have ^___^
: ) It isn't awkward. I'm a women and I'm making the videos, so why shouldn't other women enjoy watching them? I'm glad to hear I inspire you, being creative and resourceful with what you have, is the biggest asset you can have.
An option could be that the mouldings aren't redone but the edge rounded over with a router, just to blend in the shelves more to the mouldings. You lose a fraction of shelf but it matches in better. Realistically, unless you were looking pretty hard though, white on white makes it difficult to tell. Sometimes, its just better to just roll with it. Great job, April ;)
Thanks! My husband still wants that ugly orangey thing. I'm thinking about sneaking it to the burn pile and claiming I don't know anything about it. Haha!
April Wilkerson Maybe you could paint it white with chalk paint, move it to corner of your shop and use it for stuff... glue, solvents, sandpaper, sawblades, chisels whatever.
: ) Oh no, I want to get rid of that thing. It's funny because ever since I started building stuff, I have a growing distain for anything around the house that I didn't build. So since I didn't build this thing, even if I gave it a make over, I still don't want it! Haha.
Looks much better, and will hold way more than before. I might do this for added tool storage in my garage. Also, I ordered the Gluebot and put Gorilla Wood Glue in it. Do you have a wood glue preference?
YOU DID A BANG UP JOB...I THINK THEY TURNED OUT WONDERFUL! THANKS FOR SHARING...YOU SET A GREAT FOUNDATION FOR ME WHEN I TACKLE MINE FOR MY BATHROOM....
great project,great reults. there are some nice accent woods you can look for at good flooring distributors. such as santos mahogany, nice vibrant red! brazilian or peruvian dark accent woods .can be used to enhance. or cover "accidents" .also you can remill easily in your shop .avoid flooring depot type dist. dodgey milling .
Just a tip I like: I've found that premix lightweight spackle instead of silicone works really well - it forces into cracks easily, doesn't shrink, and takes paint really well... but not around the tub. ;-)
Really like the shelves and the video. Pro tip - the secret to getting caulking to look perfect without smoothing is to go FAST. Squeeze and zoom - seriously! Had a guy show me this and it changed my painting world...
even when using a bit with a bearing its always a good idea to use a fence for the router table. just set it an 1/8 inch back from the bearing so you are still engaging the bearing. or if you want to make several lighter passes then set the fence in front of the bearing and move it back until the bearing is proud. this hides half the bit protecting you. it also helps you start the cut and steady the piece.
This table comes with a small metal pin that screws into the table to be used as a guide when using a bit with a bearing on it. This way you can move the bulky fence completely off and get it out of your way. It worked really well on letting me guide my material into the bit and through it on all the different passes. I get your point though about the fence hiding half the bit.
+April Wilkerson I think people call that a starting pin. saw those on the video, but didn't look like you engaged them. try the fence for straight pieces. way safer and better dust collection. try to use the pins only when you can't use the fence.
+Robert Ruddy watched again and saw the pin closer to the bit. I thought you where referring to the orange ones. still recommend the fence especially for tall profiles like you where using.
+Robert Ruddy I would agree Robert. The starting pin is use for that, "starting". It doesn't control the depth of cut with a bearing bit. That is what the fence is for and you don't need the starting pin in that case. I only use the starting pin when I am doing a full cut, like a small roundover. Trying to control that big bit with a starting pin scares me. PS: I like the project. Looks great! What mistake? It's by design.
Nice job. I just did some but a little different building style. My shelves slide onto the frames. That way you could fully finish the shelves, mount the frames and slide the shelves on the frames. You can pin the shelf onto the frame, after they are in position. Mine where not painted, oak with amber varnish and clear lacquer.
I saw that design but it looked like a pretty unforgiving design. : ) So I went this route to give myself some elbow room. I bet the oak looked beautiful!
+April Wilkerson Thanks April! Your shelves look awesome and fit that space beautifully! I guess the design I used would also be useful if you wanted a less permanent display because of the ease of removal and remounting elsewhere if so desired.
April, I noticed you would have to squeeze the trigger twice on your nailer, this may be caused by the air valve release plunger sticking. do you oil your air tools ? on my wood working air tools I ALWAYS give them just a drop of oil before using, then before putting them away I add a drop to the air inlet for the hose connection. doing it this way I've never had a problem with excess oil and my wood working air tools function every time, been doing it this way for years. on my metal working tools I add a couple drops before use and after , been doing this on the metal working tools for over 40 years. my air tool oil of choice is Marvel Mystery air tool oil. Thank you for another Excellent video ! Always enjoy what you share with us .
Hi April. Thank you for a great video and an interesting project completed with your usual trademark enthusiasm! I'm not a health and safety nazi - but seeing you using that router table / moulder without any kind of guards! Yikes. I've seen horrific injuries on spindle moulders and it was always with experienced guys who knew it could never happen to them. Please take care - especially now that you are effectively doing this professionally so rely on your hands, fingers etc for a living.
Love the shelves, and building them custom solves the issue of mating two straight shelves in a corner (like how to keep them aligned?). I wonder if the molding would be more classically installed with the thick edge at the top, like a cornice.
April Wilkerson instead of a moulding fill in piece, what about going over the edge with a chamfer bit in your trim router? However you ultimately decide to "fix" the edge, I think they came out great. Definitely a project to be proudn of. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for the inspiration.
I didn't think of that, but I could possibly do that. However, the profile I picked has a lot of curves to it so I think I would prefer to have a round over surface.
Not a mistake on the molding, you just did a custom design job that was fluid. Excellent work there April the shelves came out real nice in that corner. I love that you take credit for any errors you run into as it might just help someone just getting started to see that we all do things just like that and the sun still comes up the next day, no big deal, fix it and continue on with a lesson learned.
Call it "rustic", and it's no longer a mistake!
April! This may seem like a backhanded compliment, but I assure you I mean it with the highest respect: I LOVE that you actually chronicle your mistakes as well as your successes instead of editing or omitting them from the video. I find that no matter the complexity or simplicity of whatever project I'm working on, I always end up making little mistakes here and there and I think especially for DIY'ers that watch instructional type videos online...there are too many videos that you just know omit that footage to save face. It's refreshing and shows just how steadfast your humility and problem solving capabilities are. As always, lovely work!
I completely agree!
It's great how you figure out how to deal with your mistake and then correct it and keep on going, looks really nice April.
Thank you!
Great work! Thanks for not excluding the molding oversight. I think it helps a lot to see the humanity in you TH-cam stars doing your projects. And, while human, you're a superstar!
Great project April and the shelves look great in your home.... cool molding bit
My other favorite TH-camr ^

Lefty?? Beautiful work, love the out takes left in, and you showing and solving trim deal. Fine job April.
Meh, I use my left when needed but I'm actually a righty. I have my fence on the left for camera sake. : ) Thanks David!
Do w
The floating shelves really do create an open space with visual breathing room, while a free standing shelf would feel crowded. You made a very good interior design solution. As for the molding, solving problems is far more important than avoiding mistakes. It will turn out great.
April ... well I think the design looks very good and strong ... congratulations
: ) Thank you, they are very strong.
Way to go, girl. Love the asymmetrical shelves.

I like that you allowed the error to show. you corrected and moved on. that's motivation for on not giving up on my blunders. thanks for that. the floating shelves look great!
: ) Thanks. Blunders are just part of building! Everybody makes them and if you aren't a pro then you can expect to make them more often.
Its fun to see how excited and happy you get when you are working on and completed your project.
: ) I love fixing up my home, I get very excited and motivated.
April Wilkerson :o)
Very nice project. I love that your not scared to show us your mistakes. It really shows your viewers, that you are a real person. keep up the great work. it i might ask where did you get the router table in this video?
Nice job April , don't let the mistake on the molding bug you too much , we all make them. Look at as a plan change and problem to solve in the project . Like how you solved the problem of not having enough material for the wider shelves .
I have a big molding bit like that and never used it but this video gives me ideas and the courage ( yeah the huge bit scares me ) to try it out .
I think the moulding not being flush adds a nice shadow line - DONE!
+Nick Ferry and +April Wilkerson .... The molding is not a mistake -- It's a design feature providing future innovation... :) ;)
: ) Haha thanks guys
This was really inspirational... I was trying to find a video for my father to use as a guide. However, after watching a female complete the job independently I feel eager to assist him in creating them. Thank you!!
April, me tornei marceneira em 2014, e você é minha inspiração, aqui no Brasil, até os marmanjos adoram seu trabalho , Parabéns, Deus te abençoe!
April, you are awesome! I truly wish that I had a woodworking teacher as passionate as you in high-school! 😄 subscribed!
Thank you so much April, for your videos. I have two corners in my dining room that I could not figure out what to do with. You're video has inspired me , and now I know what I have to do. Thanks again. Oh by the way, your hubby is one lucky dude!!! 🙂
Oh good! I have free plans on my site if you want them!
+April Wilkerson thank you.
Very nice! Even with the trim problem, you will fix it because that is part of the art of being an artisan, being able to hide ones mistakes
Nice work april. One thing to help with your caulking. If you drag your index finger at the tip of the caulking tube behind it as you apply the caulking it makes a nice clean bead that is easy to do with no waste of extra caulking.

It looks good even with the molding like that April You always come up with some cool projects.
Nice job April! Good solution to replace the old bookshelf. I've undercut I few pieces myself. It's so frustrating. Came out great though.
: ) Thanks Drew!
I really like how the second-from-the-top shelf is not a full corner shelf like the others. It gives you room for taller items and adds some visual interest to the corner.
: ) Thanks I'm glad you like that, a lot of people are hating it. I personally like how it breaks up the pattern as well.
The shelves look great. It totally changed the look of that corner..nice work...
Looks great! I really like that one shelf is missing, gives it a nice designer feel
: ) I'm glad you like that.
That turned out so nice. The trim looks great too.
Thanks!
Looking good April. Nice trick with the belt sander. Keep up the great work.
They came out fantastic! I hate when I've not included a thickness and had to go back. I look at it as another mini obstacle to overcome at the same time!
That really did make that wall look bigger. Gonna use this idea in my home, and hope it opens it up like yours did. Thanks for sharing
Great work as always April !! I think the smaller shelf may have flowed a little better as the third down instead, and it's out of the way for the double wall switch.
The best part was seeing your delight at making your first moulding, and at the completed job itself. Very nice indeed! :)
Good design April I started to build a corner shelf but after watching the video I have decided to go with your design thank you for the idea.
I'm proud of you April!! Saludos desde Concepción, Chile
Do you know what I really love about you April, when you make a mistake you tell us. And do you know what ,we all make mistakes. I think your tutorial videos are excellent Mrs. Even all the way from Glasgow 👍👍👍
I really like how it turned out. my five year old daughter is inspired by watching your videos.
: ) That is great to hear, give her a big hug from me.
Love how the short shelf broke things up a bit! Awesome !
: ) Yay, I'm glad you like that. Everybody else is saying it's killing their OCD. Haha
It's an artsy thing!
Great project April, that really opened up that corner.
Great job, Miss April! I'll be making similar shelves soon as well, but in distressed style.
BTW: 2:42 is that "signature shrug" I mentioned in another video ... grin. Keep up the great work!
Haha! How funny. ; )
Great job April. Those big router bits work better with a fence. You don't get any bearing marks and the stock is easier to control.
This table comes with a silver screw in pin (if you look close you can see me using it) that I can place on the table top and use it as a fence to help guide my piece of wood in. It worked great! But that way I can remove the bulky fence and it not be in my way.

Wow! That turned out amazing! Love it! Glad you left in the mistake you made so we could see how you remedied it.

What a neat project! I love the efficient use of the corner space... hummmmmmmmm - that's getting me thinking...
: ) Thanks!
Those turned out great. Way to save the day on the moulding! Well done, April. Troy
; ) Thanks Troy
How did you become my favorite woodworker? I think it's your "think big" attitude. And you make everything fun!
WOW amazing job! You are inspiring me to try more things outside of my comfort zone
Всегда с радостью и любопытством смотрю ваши видео ролики, мне нравятся ваши работы.
great work April those shelves look great
: ) Thanks Patrick

nice job and it opens that space up...it lightens it up to.
Those came out really nice. Your construction method is way better than the box store premade "floating" shelves I have. Upgrade time! Thanks :)

+April Wilkerson :)) it really feels great to be able to do something by yourself when you need something to use rather than buying it from stores ^_^
great build April! First of the Year keep'em coming. Thanks
.. o que falar April.... és uma excelente profissional, parabéns,,,
The end product looks awesome! Well done!
Those look great. Nice job. Painting here and while that room is empty I might make some of these.
An option could be that the mouldings aren't redone but the edge rounded over with a router, just to blend in the shelves more to the mouldings. You lose a fraction of shelf but it matches in better.
Realistically, unless you were looking pretty hard though, white on white makes it difficult to tell. Sometimes, its just better to just roll with it. Great job, April ;)
April, very impressive, you did a great job. Great video !!
Yes April the orangey pine thing had to go. Your new shelves look fantastic.
Thanks! My husband still wants that ugly orangey thing. I'm thinking about sneaking it to the burn pile and claiming I don't know anything about it. Haha!
April Wilkerson Maybe you could paint it white with chalk paint, move it to corner of your shop and use it for stuff... glue, solvents, sandpaper, sawblades, chisels whatever.

Looks much better, and will hold way more than before. I might do this for added tool storage in my garage. Also, I ordered the Gluebot and put Gorilla Wood Glue in it. Do you have a wood glue preference?
I buy a big jug of Titebond typically. : ) Glad you like the glue bottle!
Love the molding bit
Great job! Loved the fact that you made your own moulding. I gotta get that bit!!
That turned out really good. I couldn't even see the mess up on the trim from where I'm setting!
Awesome Job!! I want to make these for two separate corners in my kitchen. Thanks for showing me how to do it, and do it nicely!!
April, you need a large assembly table to get yourself off the concrete floor. Maybe one you can fold up for space restrictions. Great video.
Good work April. Don't feel bad, we all make that mistake forgetting about the the overall thickness. You will get it next time though! :)
YOU DID A BANG UP JOB...I THINK THEY TURNED OUT WONDERFUL! THANKS FOR SHARING...YOU SET A GREAT FOUNDATION FOR ME WHEN I TACKLE MINE FOR MY BATHROOM....
You lucky girl, look at all your wonderful tools!
Awesome shelf system. Way better than that corner hutch, I agree.
great project,great reults. there are some nice accent woods you can look for at good flooring distributors. such as santos mahogany, nice vibrant red! brazilian or peruvian dark accent woods .can be used to enhance. or cover "accidents" .also you can remill easily in your shop .avoid flooring depot type dist. dodgey milling .
So Good! Great job April..:)
: ) Thanks!
As always, you put up fun, and informative videos. Keep up the good work.

this hides half the bit protecting you. it also helps you start the cut and steady the piece.

Hey April, those shelves are awesome! If you can get past the fact that you didn't get your molding the way you wanted it, it turned out great.
Very nice April. Great job.
Thanks Dave!
+April Wilkerson My name is Kevin. Lol. Do I remind you of a Dave? Lol
Ahhh! I think I've been calling you Dave for a year! Haha. I'm so sorry. No I just thought a long while back you told me your name was Dave.

Hi April, I really like how you take 2x4's and make one heck of an awesome project. The moulding looks great! :)
; ) Thanks! If I'm going to paint it, I might as well use cheap wood.
The corner looks much larger and better. Great job!
: ) Thank you!
I really like the shelves, have you ever tried to build torsion boxes shelves
April, I noticed you would have to squeeze the trigger twice on your nailer, this may be caused by the air valve release plunger sticking. do you oil your air tools ? on my wood working air tools I ALWAYS give them just a drop of oil before using, then before putting them away I add a drop to the air inlet for the hose connection. doing it this way I've never had a problem with excess oil and my wood working air tools function every time, been doing it this way for years. on my metal working tools I add a couple drops before use and after , been doing this on the metal working tools for over 40 years. my air tool oil of choice is Marvel Mystery air tool oil.

Big league April...well done. Your Channel is doing well.
Thank you, it's a lot of work but I really enjoy it.
Nice job and nice solution...Great woodwork...
You just inspired my next project. Kinda new at wood working, but I work at a certain tool store you've mentioned before(new tool tool time)
Love the shelves, and building them custom solves the issue of mating two straight shelves in a corner (like how to keep them aligned?). I wonder if the molding would be more classically installed with the thick edge at the top, like a cornice.
Very nice job. Was the second shelf down not an L shape due to it being head level and near an entryway?
Nope, I just don't like things to be perfectly symmetrical so I left out that shelf to do a future project. : )
Muy buena idea... la voy a copiar en mi casa. Gracias y saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina!!!!!!
Great Job!!!! Amaizing use of the corner. Greetins from México.
: ) Thank you
that made a big change. Have you ever tried 'durhams rock hard' wood filler? I used joint compound and it cracked after a few years
April Wilkerson instead of a moulding fill in piece, what about going over the edge with a chamfer bit in your trim router? However you ultimately decide to "fix" the edge, I think they came out great. Definitely a project to be proudn of. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for the inspiration.
I didn't think of that, but I could possibly do that. However, the profile I picked has a lot of curves to it so I think I would prefer to have a round over surface.
LOVE this look! Great job April!
Looks great! Another awesome project and video. I have been looking for some good floating shelves to make. Thanks for another awesome video!
