- This is best way I've found to make floating shelves and can be adapted to any size needed. The design is a great combination of strength and ease of construction. I show you all the steps in the video but hopefully don't bore you with unwanted details.
Most of my videos are a combo of how to and entertainment and this one is no different but if you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll get back to you asap.
I try to post 2-3 videos per week (although that hasn't been happening lately) so please subscribe, like, share, comment, and click the bell to get notified any time I post a new video. Thanks a lot, it really helps!!!

That fill the gap trick is slick! Thanks for sharing. Love learning little tricks like that to help my own projects look better. I have a project coming up that I'm sure this will come in handy on. Keep filming! Love the content!
Thanks a lot!!!
new for me i usually put woodfill and sanded
Some nice tips and tricks right here! I'll add one that I've found to be very useful as well. Pre drill your bracket mounting holes, then put a countersink on the back side. When screwing into drywall, it has a tendency to mushroom out around the screw. This can make getting your bracket flush to the wall pretty tough sometimes. The countersink will leave room for the drywall to push out and make for a nice tight fit against the wall, ensuring your shelf never wobbles.
Nice, thanks!!!

Your nomination for best comment has officially been entered.
That’s actually a really good idea, thanks for sharing that
Sounds good to me (says the grandma two years after the video who was able to put together an IKEA bed all by herself but needs to hire someone to make these for me)!
Best one of these I’ve seen. Most of the other make me feel very suspicious that they’ll hold any weight beyond a pot plant! Nice to see a sturdy solution!
That burnisher technique for gapped mitered corners is Brilliant.
I usually address the issue a number of ways depending on the project, but a burnisher bending in the wood fibers to close the gap makes perfect sense. Thank you!
You just blew my mind a little with the dust collection manifold you made! I've never seen anything like this...I only see people using blast gates. Also, the burnisher trick...never seen that done. Very cool! (I typed the manifold comment right when I saw it in the video. Paused and typed it out so I would not forget. Then, you mentioned it. ha ha)
Awesome man thanks! I have your latest video all cued up and ready to watch tonight!!!
@Bruce A. Ulrich, I had the same thought that's a pretty smart idea
WIBruce A. Ulrich
I thought the same exact thing - very cool! Nice build too!
Also add a little stain in the joints before you put it together and then burnish it and you will never see the joint
Gorgeous result!! Lots of great tips. I'm glad you show the errors too ... every project has something to back out of and figure out a fix :) Thank you!
Love that dust collection system! While the bf's away, I'll put one in his shop today! Thanks for the idea and the helpful pointers! *high five* Subscribed.
Gotta love your style, cowboy boots and shorts. I can't say I've never done that.
Ha! Those work boots are so comfortable I wear them whenever I can
enby Little Sheldon did it.
Diggin' your confidence Bro! I think I've learned a thing or 12 about floating shelves!
great tips! i love the way you showed us how to tighten up that gap!
Wow, I loved watching n I never wanted it to end. Good job 👍 dude. Now am ok with fixing floating shelves on the wall. ✅☺️
Your the kind of guy I’d love to hire to do projects in my home. You seem to take a lot more care and time than I would for myself but they look better in the end when you take the time to do it right. Great video, it was exactly what I was looking for. I’m wanting 7 8ft long shelves on a 10ft wall but now I’m thinking that is too much. I like the way the floating shelves open up the space more.
Whoa thanks dude, I can totally use that burnished edge trick at my job. Mind. Blown.
Glad to help, Thanks!!!
That tip for the edges is going to help me so much! Thank you!
Nice work! I LOVE THE DUST MANIFOLD! When I’ve built these I added meters to the front, top, and bottom pieces as well. Used a scribe to make the pieces fit as tight as possible to the walls. This makes each shelf look like one big timber, but it takes a heck of a lot longer.
Thanks for the burnishing tip and man you are a fashion statement with the shorts & boots!
haha. Oh My god, I have a giant butcher block sitting in the corner of my shop as well taking up space too! great video man, love your style very fun personable narrations. Cool tips on the brad nailer and burnishing the corner like that!
Awesome thanks! That butcher block is about 70 years old and came out of a butchers shop. It's absolutely amazing with dovetail keyed joints. what are you planning to do with yours? I've been thinking about building an island for my kitchen...
Marking where the studs are on the 2x4 was a brilliant idea.
Wow! I love it! Moving in soon to my new place. Wish I had some of those.
The wood glue to close the gap!!! So satisfying.. I literally took a breath of relief.
Carolynn Alvarez Awesome!!!
Very nice Ryan, I really like the pre-locating the stud idea. Great stuff, keep it up.
Thanks!!!
Cool Oregon trail shirt 😎
Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing 👍 First video of yours I've come across. I love TH-cam for the fact that we all get to learn new things. That trick of closing the miter gap was a first for me. Thanks again for sharing 👍👏
I really like the minimal hardware application, and I always have plenty of 2 x 4 scraps to use for support arms. This method is easy to install. Thank you so much!
What type of wood did you use? I missed it
Awesome shelf builds! I want to build some like yours for the kids bedrooms but will be lighter duty. I'm thinking of using 2x2's for the internal frame to make them thinner.
my cat would love these shelves
Has to be by far the best video for floating shelves. Excellent craftsmanship
I am doing a job just like this soon and that just gave me more confidence in the strength of the floating shelf design. I am doing 2x4 construction for the braces and plywood sheets for the box. Will definitely use your tip to locate the studs before hand.
I’ve been “working with wood” for years, And I don’t think I’ve ever learned more tricks and tips in one video that I just did off of yours. Thank you for the education... Subbed
Most of the work in this video is beginner level and the person making it doesn't even have a basic grasp on proper tool usage and very little woodworking experience. I definitely would not use these techniques as it is a wonder he still has all his fingers.
Great video. I'm doing this same sort of design. Unfortunately I don't have a pocket hole jig. I was just gonna send some screws in at an angle. Fantastic tip with how to deal with miter gaps!
Is there a reason you cant screw them in from the back?
@@djsmith6247 watching this now and scratching my head about this as well. I'd counter sink so as not to damage the wall, but I see no advantage to this method.
Hey Ryan. The pinner tip about deflection was super helpful. You just made my short list. Looking forward to checking out your other content. Cheers
This is a great video tutorial! Thanks for the little tips especially.
That dust collection system was some straight up efficiency porn. You just got a new sub, lol
I'm not sure of the porn part but, that slick slide dust collector got me all tingling 😋
do you mind telling me the size of the top board, please? I would guess that's an 8" pine board but not too sure. I have been wanting to build these shelves for a while now but I'm intimidated by them for some crazy reason. Your video was pretty direct so I'm going to give it whirl.
Great video, glad to see you doing the Kreg pocket holes for the mounting frame. The way you did these shelves is exactly what I had planned for my build. Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦
Those are exactly what i want on my 12 ft walls for my dvds. So when do you want to come to Indiana. Lol great job!! Beautiful
Hi Ryan love the video. Question for you: how much weight can these shelves hold? i'm trying to make a floating shelves for my bourbon collection but needed them to be hulk strong to hold them. Thank you for your help
Those look awesome. & I totally judged you for buying a new saw...judged you to be awesome. I love the Hitachi slide design
Hahaha! Thanks!!!
I have to admit that my husband has a basement and garage full of vintage tools with missing...everything?... and I drooled a little at that saw! Tax Refund O Rama!
the slidey dust thing. pretty awesome... i am just in the beginning process of building a dust collection system and will be using automatic blast gates, but that's a stroke of genius if you have a smaller shop.
I have built a bunch of floating shelves using your technique and my customers love them! You can display bowling balls if you want, they are that strong! This also works for floating bar counters. Thanks for the video and yep, be careful to put your struts out of the way of wall studs! learned that the hard way...:)
Do you think 2x3 is as strong? Using 2x4 loses 1 inch of vertical space for each shelf installed.
I'm pretty sure there are still more cat videos on TH-cam than floating shelve videos, so you're good!
😉 Just kidding. This was interesting!
looks great, on install I might have talked to customer to see about off setting shelf 1 an 3 to the right an 2 an 4 to the left a little to give move of a decorative flow to it, This would allow a tall item to be placed on the end of a shelf. Its strictly a preference thing.
Thanks! We talked thru that and she liked the even look so I went with that.
Love, love, LOVE that dust manifold!!!!!
Thank you!!!
Those are the BEST shelves I've seen. Its a must that I have them😍 awesome job!
The first moment I saw you were using a Porter Cable miter saw, I was thinking, "Wow, he's using a cheap saw and is going to make something good with it". Then you are like, "Oh, I am having problems with this saw" lol.
What were your finish measurement? I know you said 7’ x what? Great video keep it coming! Subscribing now.
Omg I Love your attitude you're so funny as well
Gonna make some version of this -LOOKS great!
our project turned out beautifully! Love it!
The only DIY video we will do in a professional workshop that you will ever need!
What colors did you use to stain the shelves and the lacquer?
Great job! and that dust collection manifold, wow!
Loved the fill gap tip and floating shelf brackets you made. The last floating shelf I that I made I used some floating shelf brackets from the hardware store.
Invisible Children 👌
+Joshua Krohn good eye!

where?
FRESNO!
Brilliant video! I’m essentially a newbie but learnt so much from this. Thank you!!
Another winning video, BEAUTIFUL shelves. Amazing finish!
dont know why... but you remind me of Louis Litt from Suits
Teeth, Nose, Teeth. Love that show!
Felix Balde absolutely! Lose the hair and add a suit and some cheesy lines and voila!
Thanks for the video. Two questions and maybe I missed it so I will watch again once I'm ready to try. The skeleton frame are just 2x4 right, What about the actual shelf, what material is that? Also you didn't show how to fasten the shelf to the frame when hanging. Thanks again.
My questions exactly! I came scrolling comments to see if anyone answered lol
It looked like simple pine uses for the actual shelving. Maybe 1x8? And to fasten to the frame it looks like he just screwed in a few screws from the top into the frame once it was all together. You can see him do it to the first shelve he hangs.
Excellent video as usual. Glad to see you included your little "helpers" in the project. They will learn some responsibility and pride in helping out. 2:14
I cannot tell you how many times I have watched "experts" on TV and youtube using a Brad Nailer or Finish Nailer just like you mentioned...including myself following along and getting a nail that ricocheted into my finger. So my lesson for today is to hold the nail gun in the right direction so when it does ricochet, it does so inside the wood. Such an obvious answer for the problem...but until you said it...it had never clicked for me. Thanks.
PS: Filling that gap was a great trick to learn as well! I'll look forward to watching more of your vids.
Sorry, wrong comment!
I can’t believe the hate your music was getting. Loved every second of it, would love to know the name. Also like your technique for these shelves, they look great. Subscribed real quick, please keep up the loud rock.
I have the volume up when he talks but the music is too loud. I'm a musician and love rock and roll.
"Don't judge me"
what are you talking about? I would have done the same. It's a smart change.
Nice upgrade for sure! If you've got the scratch for it :)
Great video and I'm glad to see you pointed out and kept the little mistakes you made along the way. It's easy to edit that stuff out, but keeping them in makes everyone else feel better knowing you're human like the rest of us.
First video of yours I saw. I am looking forward to going through your back catalog, and your future videos.
Thanks a lot!
What did you use to attach the shelves to the walls for that much weight? I know nails are better for shear force, but if you used screws, I'm curious as to which kind.
🤦🏻♂️
Large dows and glue. No nails, no screws.
6 inch TimberLOK hurricane lags would probably be the best option. Not sure I would trust dowels and glue.
stud location... so much easier here where we don't have cardboard walls on a metal frame
what do you have then? solid concrete? how would that be easier?
@@AsTheWheelsTurn .. yea man, in other parts of the world, we have :
- cement sand brick wall.
- claybrick wall.
- hollow brick wall
- concrete wall..
all with or without plaster and paint finish.
no cardboard wall on studs for us, save us the hassle of locating the studs.
so, mounting anything on this walls need good sturdy wall plugs and/or anchor bolts.
we dont have cardboard walls here, it is sheetrock, basically plaster paneling with more plaster on top of that for a texture or smooth finish.makes it nice for putting wiring and pipes in the walls, finding studs is not difficult at all, drilling concrete walls to put anchors in and having that be accurate sounds more difficult to me but each to his own, we have earthquakes here so masonry walls just crumble and crack and get ruined, a wood frame structure will flex and shake around but it ends up ok after. just because something is built in a different way does not make it inferior.there are still lots of building built of brick in the US anyway but we still put stud walls with sheetrock and plaster on the inside.@@bahardin3992
Awesome build! I'm new to building stuff but I think I'm going to try and do this project. It looks fun too!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm getting ready to do mine in our condo. Thanks fro the great video!
what did you do to fasten the shelf to the frame?
Fastening the shelf to the frame doesn't require much. I'll bet not much more than a single screw at the back in the center from either above or below depending on the position of the shelf in order to hide the screw.
I made the exact same type of shelf a year ago only mine was a lot beefier. Mine was 24" deep and 52" wide and attached to the wall using three 1/2" lag screws each 4 inches long. You could park a truck on it
oobaka1967 nailed it...or screwed it...anyway, yeah, I just used one screw in the center which is more than enough if the cases fit snuggly over the frames. If not and they're "loose" just use more screws to snug it up. Hope that helps!
Thanks for answering the question, you were spot on!!!
I'm here to help.
oobaka1967 thx, I’d like to build a floating shelf for a sink countertop in my bathroom. One would be 24”x38”, another 24”x42”, and possibly two 24”x50”. They would all be in corners. Any words of wisdom to a newbie? If your technique could hold a truck, I’m hoping a sink, faucet, toothbrush etc wouldn’t over load it. Thoughts? Wood type? Sealer for waterproofing? Houston flood victim w/o flood insurance. Thx
Do you have the cut list for this? Trying to figure out board sizes to make similar shelves.
Great build video, Ryan~! I can't wait to see the video on the dust collection manifold~! The burnisher trick on the corners is a good one that I've used myself. Keep 'em coming~!
Thanks so much, I wish had more time to put into TH-cam because it’s super fun!
wow... new mitre saw... awesome man... thanks for the video... it sure help me a lot :)
so when the old faithful miter saw needs adjustments you just get another one....where do you pile up your old out of adjustment power tools....let me know where they are and i'll remove them for you.
I don't even charge my cordless tool batteries...just buy new fully charged ones...
Ryan Penir that’s brilliant, I mean why waste the money on your energy bill when those batteries are so incredibly cheap!
Finally somebody gets it!!!
LMAO
It’s like when your printer runs out of ink. Just buy a new printer. It’s cheaper
Wonderful! Yet my friends father, a cabinet maker, also sprayed his lacquer without a mask. It killed him. Please get a mask. Please.
Tyg Rahof people underestimate the use of air borne contanimates. No mask during sanding. No mask during staining.
Watchin here in philippines and i love watching about forniture diy such as floating shelves, making bed or any kinds about forniture .
Waiting your nxt video boss .
Great stuff all the way through. I can't believe how much I have over-thought the concept of building floating shelves. Thanks!
You're welcome, thank you!!!
really nice, but i find out the youtube rule number one: the more sh...music, the less subscribers
1 Tripudio agree
Agree
The music is great.
and that music is obnoxiously loud while your mic is not. level it up dude
agree very much a lot of people can't get that right!!!
Diy? You having a laugh? Most people have a pencil, a level and a circular saw! Who the hell has a pocket whole jig?
A basic pocket jig is 20 bucks.
That corner miter gap trick is a brilliant.You have no idea how much I will use and appreciate that.Thanks
Rob D That’s awesome, thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing that gap trick, that’s insane!
I like that burnishing technique!
Every 13000 years - one of these men appear! Thank you!
Wow. They look amazing. I had a lightbulb moment wondering why they are called floating shelves and I realized there were no brackets 😂😂
Once I become more competent in woodwork I’ll give these a go. My skill level at the moment is zero although I did make a fruit bowl once with ice cream sticks.
I made a few of these out of teak , did it different with a metal piece to stud , lags ..built around that , big bucks bro . Craftsmanship . You can hang on mine , sick . One thing about teak wood is that the grain will try to move your drill bits. Has anyone worked with teak . I built handrails another time with teak to commercial specs . Dude asked for it , we did it .
Great content! I am just about to make my first set of floating shelves using metal brackets (since the customer wants 2 1/4" thick shelves)...but this has inspired me...I might ask my wife if she wants any floating shelves fabricated!
Wow! Beautiful craftsmanship and awesome editing! That was fun to watch!
Thanks so much!
That’s a cool man right there! Nicely done!
Cheers Ryan for the closing the soft wood mitre tip 👍👍
I love being a Carpenter and always learning.
Awesome, thanks!
Great burnishing edge-gap-closing tip!!!! I have to try that, man. Love your sense of humor, too. Thanks for the entertainment.
Awesome, Thank you!!!
Great for small plants, too 🥳 great job Ryan!
Great video! Love that mitre gap fix! I've never seen that trick before.
Glad I found your channel! Great stuff.
Thanks so much!
Great Video. I am going to be trying this in the living room this weekend (well starting this weekend).
They're beautiful! 😍
The burnish trick was gold!
Great job.Like the fact you show the errors. Gives us all hope lol
As usual, phenomenal work, dude. Thanks for making woodworking approachable!
Thank you, that means a lot!
Gorgeous!
Great video I really like the detail you put into the shelves, you are also the only person I've seen on TH-cam to use a kreg HD. I got one and love it.
Right! It's great...and thanks!!!
GREAT WORK MAN! LOOKS AWESOME!
