Just because he chooses to elevate the project with other tools doesn’t mean you can’t do it with the 3 tools, as well as he had to size rough lumber which takes specialty tools that you wouldn’t need. Don’t let people having access to more tools then you make you think it’s not a beginner project
It’s not about the “expensive tools” it’s being creative, doing a craft you enjoy and have a passion for. These excuses of not having his equipment is lame. Yes, those tools make the job 4x fast and better but this can be done with simple tools as well. All you need is the courage to get started.
i guess i am a carpenter in my past life because i am always inspired to do one like the ones you always build, i just don't have the tools because they are very costly here in my place... you got one subbie here in the Philppines... keep doing videos like this... two thumbs up!
Better to buy already made shelfs ...and just hang them coz this is easy when u have the tools for free right ..it might cost u a little more but saves u alot of hassle
Thank you for explaining how to make them with hand power tools like a Circular Saw and the type of wood to buy that's already has a straight edge. I have a Circular saw, router, drill, sander, and a pocket jig. I love to see someone like yourself make a video with these types of tools. I've also have been looking at Craigslist for used tools. Thank you again, and everyone else reading this, don't get discouraged. If you're serious about wood working, take a loan to buy the tools you need. At that point you jump right in to a serious business, and have to push yourself to succeed.You wear all hats in the business. I did this with screen printing and had to learn to sell. Started with friends, family and church.
I lucky, I have woodshop at my school and we are doing custom projects and the school provides everything! So I'm definitely going to be making some of these
I'm expecting the equipment used woodsaw hammer drill (cheap drill is available) but still i like the video can still explain the basic of making this shelves you just have to adapt it on your available tools
The mounting brackets don't let the shelf fit tight to the wall. I've built floating shelves years ago for my sister's football knick knacks using 1x6's and just screwed them to the wall (@ the studs) using finish screws. The shelves are still "floating" to this day. It's been about 10 years.
My first thought too. With all those tools, he could have chiseled a recess for the bracket so the shelf would fit against the wall (and hide the hardware).
If you have that much machinery and equipment, is it still classed as diy? This should be called pro carpenter makes floating shelves that you'll never make.
Man I love how you explain a simple and cost sensitive way of doing the same job in the beginning! Most people think there is only one way to do a job, thanks for giving some perspective - Awesome job on the rough lumber version too! Takes a pro to use pro tools.
great, simple project. projects like this keep encouraging me to take the plunge on investing in a planer. Working with rough lumber looks really rewarding
It is super rewarding, definitely a major turning point in the woodworking experience. Even an inexpensive planer is well worth the investment. That, paired with a table saw, will allow you to build almost anything.
Hi... if you use dowls that have grooves traveling along the length of them they will allow the glue to ooze out along the length of the dowls and into both holes... If you don't have any dowls with grooves traveling along them try cutting or scoring them with a knife or chisel... hope this helps.
I’ve used those support bracket, except, I trace the mounting bracket on the drywall, used a multi-tool and cut out the drywall “plug”, mounted the support directly to the stud. Not only is it stronger, but, the shelf will fit perfectly flush against the wall and not stick out a bit due to the shelf sitting against the square mount instead of against the wall
This is so awesome!!! I just found your channel, I’ve never held a power tool but now I’m so curious. My husband and I are on the hunt for our first house and I’m going to have to invest in some tools to start my own DIY projects. So inspirational!!!! 5:48
Trying to learn woodworking as a hobby via the internet is absolute torture when you're broke. I'm thinking "Hmm, well a box is usually a good project for beginners. This has no top or bottom or hinges... Should be even more simple, right?" I know we don't NEED badass industrial-grade equipment like this guy has, but it's kind of discouraging to watch. For a broke beginner, I was proud of my little workshop. This makes me want to go to IKEA... Or take 4 planks with some wood glue & clamps and call it a freaking day.
Great video Johnny. I made my own floating box shelves out of recycled timber and they look fantastic - very strong too. Cheers Nick, Darwin Australia.
Step 1; Get the $15,- wood boards. Done! Step 2; Save some of my salary for 3 years, to get the all the $18.000,- tools you used. Step 3; Make those shelf! LOL
You need a stage & cameras following you around! We're in the middle of remodeling an attached in-law apartment into a master bedroom & I was pulling my hair out until I came across your channel (while at work 😅) You are amazing girl! Y gracias for all the inspiration!! 3:51
If you don't think you are going to move the shelves, or don't mind repairing drywall, just drill a dowel hole in the back, make the shelf size the width of two studs, drill holes into the studs, stick the dowel on. Then you can make the whole thing with just a saw and glue.
Hey Johnny, just catching up on some of your projects. This is so nice and clean. Your production quality is top notch. I know it takes a lot of time, and it shows.
I put some hope for your video, but finally I left it behind because I don't have those tools.. only a simple jigshaw and small drill.. well, still it's an entertaining video..
Yea, you could do something similar with all-thread, you could drive it into the studs by locking two nuts together and using them to turn the all-thread. It would leave a bigger hole, but it'd be cheaper and stronger.
Those came out nice. Though I would of loved to see some dovetail or even finger joinery as it would of really set them off. Even just 45% them and spline them would look good. Especially if you put bubinga wood splines on the maple and vs versa. Not knocking what you have done. I am just a sucker for joinery work. It makes things like this pop even more as that end grain always stands out. But again nice build.
Another great build. Question... Did your chisel out a section for the small rectangle portion of the hanging hardware so the shelf is snug on the wall?
I love that you specifically mention only needing 3 basic tools, then use about 20 specialty tools and jigs....
Absolutely right, it's not a fair game for beginners
Yup
I was thinking the exact same thing. This isn’t a beginner video by any means.
Just because he chooses to elevate the project with other tools doesn’t mean you can’t do it with the 3 tools, as well as he had to size rough lumber which takes specialty tools that you wouldn’t need. Don’t let people having access to more tools then you make you think it’s not a beginner project
@@Fisher.armstrong I think we can buy sized lumber from lumber shop.
This was the most aesthetically pleasing build I think I have ever seen. So simple but SOOOO satisfying.

- And a video with that tools
I just did a floating shelf build this past week, just 1 shelf, basically a box made from reclaimed oak, turned out great!
+WoodShaped nice!
It's good to see the woodprx has new Instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
@@beliajkrouinc21 Pure awesomeness to me!

my girlfriends dad told me about WoodVan.xyz he was showing me few plans in there for a new deck, they had tons of projects

I finally got ahold of waterlocks and it really is great it is probably the best sealer I've ever used I highly recommend this
Nice, glad you're liking it!
Same.
I lucky, I have woodshop at my school and we are doing custom projects and the school provides everything! So I'm definitely going to be making some of these
It would be cool to see a wall covered in those especially if they were all made of varying woods
Yup, that's what my eye doctor has on their wall, that's where I got this idea!
U are v methodical n precise also teaching from your heart
A good guy
May god bless u like to try
Man I wish I could do this for a living. Just got into woodworking and it makes me wanna build everything I see
I'm expecting the equipment used woodsaw hammer drill (cheap drill is available) but still i like the video can still explain the basic of making this shelves you just have to adapt it on your available tools

Beautiful.... wood working Crafts DIY...
Thank you very much!
I like this a lot. This is like Lego but on the next level.
Hah, I could definitely see that!
wonderful ❤👍👍
will make one our new home
Well done dude, you have golden hands and will continue to make interesting videos
If you have that much machinery and equipment, is it still classed as diy?
This should be called pro carpenter makes floating shelves that you'll never make.
Agreed. IMO, DIY should max require a circular saw and a drill
Hahaha exacty 😆
I'm glad to only had to go two comments down to validate my feelings
Chad Stewart preach brother. Was thinking the same damn thing.

It should be, building a floating shelf, with 5,000.00 dollars of equipment
Yeah, his equipment just make me dribble.....
The planet and jointed are easily worth more than 5k. Very nice top of the line tools
Yea he said only using a drill, circular saw and a jig lol
haha I was thinking the same thing...ahh the power of youtube money.
He pretty clearly said you should buy S4S lumber if you dont have access to milling machines
It is the best work i'm learning from you
world top
Why did this show up when I searched for CHEAP DIY floating shelves....lol wow
You'd hope someone with all that gear wouldn't need a tutorial like this
I've never worked with bubinga. Looks really nice. That is some interesting mounting hardware.
+Bruce A. Ulrich thanks Bruce, it's great stuff.
wow i didn't think woodwork can be cool, but this is actually very productive.
Thanks!
He’s so intelligent and I like his good skills. Everything came out excellent. By the way he’s a good looking guy.
its perfect. Not disrespect all your talent, but man, yours equipments are awesome, I think this helps your perfection.
Amazing! I like the blind shelf support post method. Thank you for sharing.
Padrisimo! !! Muy padre así como los $320,000 en Equipo q asomo mientras elaboraste ese trabajo. De NO mames tu equipazo!
Makes DYI video...
80% of the work its done by expensive power tools.🤔
That bubinga looks really great with the grain pattern
+freeman621 yea it’s some gorgeous wood!

+Peter Allen the dowels I used have spirals cut into them but I still used too much glue. Thanks though!
1+ for having the scrolling ad bar to notify when the ad will be over. I wish all TH-camrs did this :)
I agree, it's really nice to know how long you have to wait till the ad is over!

Man these turned out nice, love the maple. All about the minimal vibe.
+Whiskey Wood Creations thanks!
nice to have all those saws and sanding.. ill be working manually

So satisfying to watch..
Simple for you maybe, lol.
I've never seen those shelf supports before. Cool!
Great ... Thank you for what you teach us...
looks really simple to make and looks good
That chamfer really makes it look cool!
+Geeksmithing thanks Wes! Chamfers make everything look better 😁

Amazing finishing
diy creators is more enjoyable,simple and shows products from cheaper things
Glen has expensive stuff also.
They look great bro, don't let the haters get to you.
I built this and it looks very good!
Nice, that’s awesome!
Hope I have those useful tools to start. I've been very fascinated with wood works.
God ...I wish I had access to all that beautiful wood.!!!! I'd be in the workshop indefinitely.
Looks great and easy to make
+Franks DIY thanks!
Superb idea
Great video Johnny. I made my own floating box shelves out of recycled timber and they look fantastic - very strong too. Cheers Nick, Darwin Australia.

Fantastic.
Great ! Should I also buy all those machines ?:)

LOL
Hah, good luck with your saving!
Buy S4S boards, they're all butt joints. Not too hard to do.
Not hard at all, people just like to complain.
Hahahahahaaaa.....
Jealous much??????
I love what you said about planing! Its my favourite part too!
+Andrea Birchard for sure!
That bubinga looks beautiful. I think i've found a new love.
Right? It is gorgeous, but also incredibly heavy! Can't imagine building a full piece using it.
Haha, I think the shelves are good for now.
I love it.
Nowadays, I'm thinking about doing it as hobbie I just need some stuffs from the store then I'll get on it.
Its nice simple cheap and even good

+Works by Solo thanks a lot Bernie! I really appreciate that. Your stuff is outstanding as well, absolutely loved that lamp!
I love that I saw those shelves on your instagram and you then made a video about it. Love your work. Thanks for the inspiration.
+The Naked Carpenter thanks a lot!
thank you
Gorgeous.
If i have that all tools, i can build Floating Ship! Nice video btw
Disclaimer: If you have these tools, you don't need my tutorial.
They look great!
I have made dowel holes with a jig its hard but works in a pinch
I put some hope for your video, but finally I left it behind because I don't have those tools..
only a simple jigshaw and small drill..
well, still it's an entertaining video..
Excelente practico funcional estético
saludos desde Minatitlán, Veracruz, México.
Ya I could build that too if I had a hand plane! LOL nice build!
Hah! Thanks James.
Hi j
Dude is beautiful and talented with 692 jealous people giving a thumbs down!
it's because of the expensive tools he used smh
*Good Job*
nice built
This should be rename as diy if you have a woodshop
Thanks
Nice video
Like the finished shelves. Haven't seen the metal mounting pins in South Africa. Will have to make some up or modify the design.
Yea, you could do something similar with all-thread, you could drive it into the studs by locking two nuts together and using them to turn the all-thread. It would leave a bigger hole, but it'd be cheaper and stronger.
Thank you.... that was a quick and useful response
Very Very Nice
Those look great I made some shelves just like that a while ago but yours look way better!! Keep up the good work
Thanks Evan!
Nice job, Johnny! Looks sharp! What are you going to put on those shelves? I suggest Festool flower pots!
+Fisher's Shop thanks! Hah, not sure yet. Perfect for little trinkets.
Beautiful work
I am indian your video amazing
It is great job I like it
Gotta love bubinga! They came out awesome Johnny!
