Why countersink the screws or bolts holding up the shelves, it only weakens the support and does nothing else since they are not visible anyway?
This was cool, but entirely too much work.
why not inlay power wires in the wall, you can get good thin wires in there, finish it with mud. even easier to fix if you have drywall
How long did the battery pack last?
You should be selling these amazing shelves. I am buying by the way!
I like that you include the mistakes into your videos, its adds something wholesome to your work
Definitely yes to tying in more electronics with your word working! I've been trying to plan a similar project except I want to run the low voltage wire through the drywall behind it. You just gave me a great idea exactly how to do it!
Awesome, good luck!
Watching this video, I came up with a similar idea as you did. So...Ditto!, I have a wall in my front room I was at first contemplating a full wall build out. However, using the floating wall system will utilize less material, looks good, and easier to move around if needed. I also though of running the wires in the wall as you did.👍😎😀
That is really cool, super nice job
How did you make the controls work together on the 3 shelves?
This is the first of your videos I've seen. Great shop setup. Most importantly, I really like the way you not only talk about safety, but you really PRACTICE safety as well! Earplugs, glasses, push sticks, etc.
For a truely hidden switch (with no standby power draw), consider using a “normally open” reed switch embedded inside the shelf. Then just place a strong magnet over the top of the reed switch to turn it on.
That sounds like an awesome idea... something I need to look more into for projects of my own.
I like that
Can you explain more?
I pray someday I’ll get to the point where this doesn’t sound like mandarin
I love incorporating electronic stuff into builds. Definitely would love to see more.
First time watching this video on your channel, love it, looking forward to watch more and learn to build 🤙🏼🙌🏼 keep it up!
Thanks, brother!
Dude, seriously good job on conception and execution. I also enjoy blending woodworking, 3d printing, and microelectronics together. It is seriously a match made in heaven these days with what we can do.
Great job Brad! Always enjoy your videos. Your one of my favorite to watch. You actually really helped me out when I first started wood working because mistakes where made LOL!!! And that really helped me push forward and not quit
I totally respect your choice of teaching safety.
It IS number one.
I applaud you brother. 👍👍
Great job on yet another project that I have on my list to do! Would love to see a nice still image of the entire wall showing both the shelves and the unit below.
Dude, I've been doing odd and ends carpentry for about five years now. I'm so OCD when it comes to perfection. I have every tool imaginable, but still learning every time I build something. Today I built 4 floating shelves for each side of our fireplace. I used the tape method I saw in your video, and OMG! Game Changer! Thank you so much for posting this video. This made things so much easier!
I've seen a lot of videos of DIY'ers doing LED lights, and I would have to say that your video is by far the best so far. I have been an electrician for 30 years now and have done more LED lights than I can say. You hit a home run on this one, however, I would have just run a power wire to the shelves and not used battery operated LED's, but that's what I do for a living anyway. Great job!
The batteries will last a few days. Then charge. Then a few days. Then charge.
@@burtan2000 And you'll have to take all the stuff off the shelf to get to the battery! I'm done doing any battery devices. Seems like a great idea, but after a year of constantly having to charge things it's annoying.
@@RyanTerry if you watched the video, he accounted for that and made an accessible charging port so he wouldn't need to take the shelf off to charge it.
@@tukuiPat excellent. Yes, I quickly scrolled through towards the end so I didn’t see that. Thanks.
@@RyanTerry OR I would make a USB-c charging port to the side of the shelf, so you can charge whenever needed or constantly put on charge (but not sure if the battery would explode overtime)
I rarely build a project just like the one in a video. So seeing new techniques or ideas is always welcome.
Hi Brad, I just came across this video on my feed and gotta say, I absolutely loved your work, edit and pace. I have never done anything like this in my life, but I am wishing to do it in the future, so I really enjoy seeing videos like yours to learn and get ideas from. Keep up the great work! Just subscribed to see more in the future.
This is great! I did something similar with my bar but, led’s on top to uplight the bottles on the bar. I ran the low voltage wire down the inside of the wall and plugged in to outlet below with LED transformer. New to the channel and looking forward to exploring!
I appreciate that you include/admit mistakes. Too often video DIYers present themselves like they can do no wrong - but we all make mistakes.
Done something close to this with my kids floating shelves... But I drilled into the dry wall and dropped cables from each of the Floating shelves behind the dry wall to a wall dry line box and powered from mains usb power instead of battery packs.
No worrying about charging or hot battery packs while charging then.
Great job and looks so well. Well done.
Damnnn very NICE, will be doing something like this in my living room for sure
I love the subtle comedy in your videos, the inception plug in was dope. I always use blue painters tape in my floating shelf glue ups. It holds strong and doesn't tar out any wood fibers when you remove it, nor does it leave any adhesive behind that you have to sand off or may clog any wood grain.
Cool tape tip! Gotta grab some 🔥🔥
It holds like a champ, Mike. Although your gaffers tape looked cooler 😂😂
Hey Mike love your Bus project you did a couple months ago❤️🔥
💳
How far is Joshua Tree from FTBT
Mike: “Today, I’m gonna be picking up some filament tape from my local store…”
Cashier: “Uh, sir? This is a Wendy’s. We don’t sell t-”
Mike: “-ON MODERN BUILDS.”
I obsses over making my office space as epic and pro level as possible. Videos like this just inspire me to keep trying to take things to the next level. 🤩
I like the way you work and explain everything!🎉
Love it! Thanks for the inspiration
Never been comfortable with electronics but you make it look so easy. Really nice shelves. Very well done! Keep up the great videos....
Great video! Very similar to the way I build floating shelves and as the electronics keep digging into that… so much you can do with low voltage and wood. I have 25+ years in the 12v/audio/video world and now I incorporate that into almost every project with lighting or moving panels. They have power supplies that are super small and thin just for low voltage lighting. Hardwired is the way to go vs battery especially for a no hassle no call back customer service point of view. Not a big deal for people like us to change batteries but most of customers want out of site out of mind hassle free!! Just my 2 cents. Keep up the awesome clean work and keep the videos coming.
You are right about going wired. These items are not much electricity draws and newer electronics can be worked via phone/alexa for a truly seemless voice turn on/off. Is there.a good video for hardwired floating shelf? I'm looking to use one over a bed that has built in light/wireless charger/usb ports.
I like that, in spite of the fact that I've seen several videos on how to make a very similar floating shelf, I still learn something new, or I'm able to follow along like I already do know. Not sure if I'll build a floating shelf like this anytime soon but this is a cool build.
best of the best
Great detailed video 👍
I love electronics. Incorporating them into woodworking projects takes them to the next level!
LOVE your building this and fixing that stuffs! implementing a couple/3 of your ideas into the reno this summer!!
I'm game to see what interesting install methods you can come up with for say, led base boards, inset led steps... you get the idea😉
What a great build! Thanks for sharing.
Looks like your producing leveled up! Love your content. Thank you for all you do.
This video helped me to build my own In-Wall L-Shaped long shelves in my living room. Thank you for the inspiration.
Great job! Thanks for the video.
Great work! These came out really nice! A did a similar (in concept) project a little more than a year ago where I embedded LED's into a riser add-on I built for my office desk. I initially considered the aluminum muzata track, but it's quite expensive for what it is. Significant savings can be had if you just stick the LED's directly to the wood channel you routed, and either forgo the cover all together, or you cut acrylic strips and spray them with frost spray paint (to taste) as a cover that you can then either route a channel so it slides in or glue it onto a ledge you can route (as I did). I actually completed the cover and didn't even end up using it since the light is more intense without and I'm not looking under the riser anyway. Diffusion didn't prove to be an issue with the riser being about 9" from the top of the desk top. One of these days, I'll get a video up for the build as it came out quite nice.
Good Job Lori. Chuck was a good pick for a seat tester.
I look forward to many more videos.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you!!!!!
That was terrific build Brad and I always like how you shed some light on you projects! 👍👍😉😉
If you use hue lights you can connect them to a real light switch and control everything with other smart home stuff as well. I built a similar thing and I liked the hue option because there isn't a battery to charge
Well, I was most impressed with the 46° mitre idea to get those sharp edges.
Must try it out over this weekend with some test ply.
I so wish I had the tools to do all this amazing stuff :( Looks absolutely fantastic! Great vid and great tips!
yes be nice, u basically have to have a full carpentry shop and a good knowledge of carpentry..be so easy to screw up that expensive plywood...he does a beautiful job.
Ikea offers the same floating shelf, just need to add the led
Thank you for some great ideas and looks greats
Awesome video, great design and very clear explanations. It helps a lot for my shelve project. Thank you 👍.
Amazing 🤩 I love the mount out of the off cuts 👍🏻
This is amazing! Great work, really enjoyed the whole process!
Lovely and I am inspired by your working style.
Wow, stunning, awesome work...
Nice communication and graphic presentations and of course, a masterpiece construction.
I love this idea. Thanks for the cool project!
Beautiful
This legit was really dope process to watch great job bro!!
Entertaining, informative, and a beautiful outcome. Great video!
Awesome project and love the electronics added in.
Great project! Yes, please include more electronics!!
These came out fantastic, great job.
Great video! Thanks for making this. Lots of ideas I Intend to implement in my scheme.
AWESOME DIY!!! Thank you for your great teaching!
yes (re: the electronics question). Awesome vid. thanks!
Big big fan of electronics. Really enjoy your channel. Big inspiration for me and future shop/office updates
your very talented in woodworking!
Love the tidiness!! Great job!!
God Bless you & your hands! I wish my son can do this
I really like that you incorporate projects within projects, but I enjoy longer show the process videos. I’m a dabbler of the things…resin to plywood end grain to copper and concrete.
The builds you do and the production quality of your videos are amazing!! You deserve WAY more than 1.2 M subs!! Awesome work my friend!!
DIYs And Machinery tools Come along ways AWESOME 👍🤠👍
Awesome build - they look fantastic!!!
very clean and tidy work
Love electronics and would be great to see more incorporated on your Chanel. Great video as always! Thx
Well done sir! You make it look easy. Anyone who’s tried to build “perfect” box knows that this is far harder than it looks.
Smart thinking with the wiring !!
Hi Brad, would love electronic tutorial. Have always been intimidated by this. Thanks!! Great job in the vid!!
thanks, Kathleen!
I like it when the mistakes are not covered up in the final video production.
Great shelves!
You reading my mind man. Have to build some for the bathroom. Thanks for the idea. Just waiting on my track saw to come in. Great job on the shelves.
Thanks, Phil! Track saws are awesome, you're going to love it!
Just found this channel in my recommended. You mentioned about getting into more electronics - you totally should! Actually I knew nothing about wood stuff, but LEDs, wiring small electronics, those I'm pretty familiar with now. It's worth it. I'm hoping to combine our two interests at some point but I have to learn more about building with wood first. Great video, subbed!
You are a true master of your craft!
yes please, do more electronics. Best regards from Switzerland
Project is awesome.
Ad placement was smooth, and not a bother. Great Work!
Beautiful work and great video 🙌🏾👌🏾
I love everything about this video. Awesome production value might I add.
Great video! Love the tip about the 46° bevel!
Glad it helped!
The shelves look AWESOME!!!
Beautiful!
You have taught me so much! I wish I had the workshop/space like yours, I would be golden.
Glad it's helping, Stacey!
Great video, I love to see something easier since I don’t have that many tools. But I love electronics and love to see you create something cool with lights.
Awesome idea!!! Looks so clean. I made my first floating shelf out of scrap 1/4 MDF and on the fly. It is small and is mounted just above my medicine cabinet to put all my meds on. I need to take it down and refinish it and make the support system a little bit sturdier.
i want those, amazing work !!
Gaffers Tape - it is the bomb.
great job. great video and presentation
Nice work man!!
Amazing work! Nice details and great ideas 👍
Loved that you incorporated electric. I vote yes for more more electrical & woodworking videos!
nice work thankyou ...
thanks for the idea... great job
Thx!
AWESOME job! Thanks!
Great video. Thanks a lot.
You are a real artist. 👌🏻
that 46 degree tip is amazing, thank you
Oh hell yah! That was awesome!
this is awesome!!!
I am always amazed what you can accomplish with handcraft, and of course the right tools. I failed completely building a square.
