a simple $2 floating shelf. First I take the workpiece over here to this Bridgeport Milling machine ........

Love when they say $2 diy when they are using machines worth thousands lol

How did you get your hands on a drill press for under $2?

A nice little trick to collect dust when drilling the wall is to tape an envelope to the wall by its flap, just beneath the hole. Most, if not all of the dust will fall into the into the envelope.

Nice! I did a very similar thing, but I made my own brackets using flat bar and threaded rods, and for the shelf I used 2x8s.

Cool idea and project!

Nice,You could have driven in the lag bolts using its hex head and before inserting the shelf into it, could have cut of the head. Much easier and better way.

I love your tiny pallet. : )

Amazing !! Redecorating my Guest room & this would be perfect !!! 4:52

Nice system. I don't have a drill press, but I can figure a workaround. Thank you.

Great Video. One of the simplest and easiest floating shelf DIY except for the drill press lol, by chance have you done a weight test. Would you say under 10Lbs or under 20 Lbs, this would help a lot.

I tried this today. The only problem I had was driving the lag screws in straight. Any tips on that? Thanks for the help. My cats and I love the new shelves.

Cool man !

Thank you so much for this video. Precise, easy to follow, to the point. 1:31

Hey man great video. How do you like that flexvolt miter saw? I am in the market for one right now for my garage so have been heavily considering the infamous Bosch glide given the low profile...but your setup got me to thinking I could just go mobile and not have to worry about clearance...price is similar too... 2:58

Machinist pretends to be DIYer for a day

nice!

wow very skookum frig.

AvE mini figure, I like it!

Where did you get a under $2 drill?

Would have been easier to just chuck the lag bolt into the drill, and run it in, then loosen the chick and remove the drill, leaving the lag bolt in place :D

can you do a video on how to make a miniature popsicle stick pallet?

Cool stuff! Also, where'd the AvE blue smoke guy come from? Is it a custom design or did you find it online? I'd love to print one is all, haha.

Nice channel :-) How did you make the the big IC on the shelf?

Put the screw in the drill chuck!

u can put the bolt on your drill instead of visegrip

$2 worth of hardware but you also need a drill press if you want your holes to not come busting out the faces of the wood

Is that an Aperture Science logo?!

You will Need stud finder to screw into walls for strength .. thanks for video

You may be able to just chuck the lag bolt shaft into your drill to drive it into the wall. Nice little project. I just noticed a bunch of other people recommended it so... uh... my suggestion is to do something more clever than that if you do it again... Whatever that may be.

Def need a drill press!

UMMM WHAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT AvE LOGO I need that in my life

I Wanna See [A Simple DIY $2 Floating Shelf NO TOOLS] 🙏

Why dont use a plastic sleeve for the wall?

"NO FREAKING WAY DID you mortgaged that house that you drilled holes into for just $2!!!???? And bought an entire lumber yard to harvest that fine plank of wood for just $2??? So... you're saying you bought the mining rights to dig up some steel, then an entire machine shop to forge it into a bolt, that you cut the tip off of for just $2!?!?!?! Hm... maybe you should think about changing the title of this video...." HAHAHA!!! Everyone getting on ya about having tools to build this shelf are cracking me up... Great video, thanks for sharing.

What’s the thicknesses the shelf?

liked it just for the intro

How it became $2? How much those machines and tools that i don't have

Drive the lag screw in first, then cut the head off after.

Screw the bolt in then use bolt cutters easier then using a saw

You should build your own shed instead. 3:21

You could have used a power drill and put the screw in the chuck.

Cool so he got a drill press, drill, level, drill bits, stain or primer or both, a screwdriver, lag bolts, vice grips and wood for all under 2 dollars.. impressive

The easiest way would be to leave the heads on, then screw them into the wall after making your level mark with a socket and ratchet, then cut off the heads...

Could of attached the lag bolts to the wall then cut off the heads.

Not a practical build for a DIY. Needing to drill into center edge is difficult if done by hand. I don’t have a drill press

Hah AVE love it

Probably should rename it "A (not so) simple, DIY $2 (plus $150 drill press) floating shelf"

"Today we show you how to make shelves for you to put paper clips and shit"

ya i was going to say you should probably run the lags in then cut them off

Oh and lock up nuts and run in with a socket

HA!

My girlfriend likes the "Sex and the City" music.

Should've clamped that bolt in the drill chuck to screw it into the wall... much faster that vice grips.

*2dollars floating shelves* pulls out 499.00 driller/cutter ahahah ridiculous

Wow dude your commenters are the worst. I for one learned something from this video so thanks!

Mess

it's not a $2 diy if I gotta buy all those tools....

In my first work I always used Woodprix plans.

Never drill in the wall could puncture a pipe. Test with drywall screw first

£2 shelf but £500 tools loool

The title is deceiving! I do not have a $1000 plus woodshop to make a $2 shelf bracket. Bad!!!!

I prefer to build with WoodPrix plans.

No No NO, never hit the WOOD DIRECTLY with something metal!!!, put a wood scrap on the wood and strike IT!!!!

just awful, but gives me some ideas.
