I'm sure there are lots of ways many. Different ways to build floating shelves. There are people on YouTube who come up. With creative ways to do pretty much. Anything and I'm sure building floating. Shelves is no different I haven't looked. To see what other people have done. Partly because I've had my own idea. About how I would do it but I've never. Really had the reason to put my idea to. The test until now finishing a project. For a customer and the last thing to do. Is build floating shelves I like the. Idea of doing away with the shelf. Support brackets but in my own mind I. Wondered how do you make the shelves. Strong enough without the brackets to. Support a pretty good load some idea. Which I'm sure is not new or particular. Original is to try to keep the weight. Down on all the pieces of the shelf but. At the same time try to give it as much. Strength to hold things typical things. That people put on shelves so the. Strength of the shelf is achieved. Through the way its internal structures. Attached to the wall ideally if you hit. Studs with screws or bolts you're way. Ahead of the game that's not possible. Then attaching with fasteners that clamp. To the back of the sheetrock to hold the. Structure in place is the next best. Option the shell that goes over the. Structure and provides your finished. Look for your floating shelf also needs. To be as lightweight as possible. Because in doing that you allow more. Weight to be placed on the shelf and not. Create a problem with sagging so my idea. Is pretty simple and uses a one inch by. One and a half inch piece of pine lumber. Attached to the wall which has suspended. Off of it one and a half by one and a. Half by eight and a quarter inch shelf. Support pieces that are attached with a. Mortise and tenon type of glue joint for. This video I'm going to show you a. Couple of different ways to attach these. Pieces and I think either one is plenty. Strong to do the job I had some. Questions in my own mind as I was doing. This as to how strong this really would. Be so I did a video last week that I. Have linked in the corner that is. Dedicated completely to checking the. Strength of this setup it compares the. Strength of the glue joints to the. Strength of sheetrock with toggle bolt. Types of fasteners and it concludes that. This type of installation is plenty. Strong for typical home use floating. Shelves I've been surprised by how. Versatile and solid this type of in. Halation can really be I had the. Misconception that floating shelves for. More of a gimmick and not particularly. Useful in normal use settings but after. Working with my own design I can see how. These things can be incredibly strong. With a little forethought and planning. One way to make up this glue joint is to. Use a Festool Domino cutter which is by. Far the fastest way to go but unless. You're in the construction business. You're likely not going to have one of. These nicholae effective ways to use a. Dowel in this case I'm using a 5/8 inch. Diameter oak dowel and drilling through. The wall support and shelf support. Pieces at the same time by clamping them. Both in position then the goal is to. Drill in a straight line and that part's. Not necessarily that important as long. As the pieces stay clamped down well. While you're drilling once your glue. Joints is set up they're ready to. Install in this case these are plaster. Walls so I used toggle bolt style. Fasteners to secure them to the wall one. Of the benefits of installing floating. Shelves and corners is that the sport. Structure is significantly stronger just. Because it's mounted in the corner. However it also creates a challenge. Because corners are typically never. Square so to get an accurate shape for. These corners I built a template this. Method can be used not only for this. Situation but for building countertops. Or basically any circum
