Don't baffle us with your fancy physics about rotational forces being held in check by bottom mounted braces! The next thing you'll be telling us is that there are magical, sure-fire ways of being able to drill into a stud (first time) other than using a screw to randomly poke holes into your drywall in hopes that you will get lucky and find your target.

@@stephanesavoie7562 in theory: when you put a load on the shelf, this creates a torque. and that torque has its pivot point where the board of the shelf meets the wall. so if you imagine this torque creating a rotation, due to the downward force of the laod, it would pull out the screws of the bracket if mounted on top. if mounted below, the screws are pushed in due to the torque. in practice there is more to this though, and that could result in pulling the screws out even with the brackets mounted below. e.g. when the board is not mounted perfectly in level, or the board flexing under the load.

In that case with the wood hanging from the shelf is testing the thread of the Philips screws into the wood. It’s always better for loads to be configured perpendicular than to be loaded in the direction of “pull out” on the threads. That said, it’s more applicable on bigger shelves with more weight, and what he’s done is fine even for books, so really it’s preferential

@@jokeal3613yes weight is the same but the force the weight applies is different. Right side up the bracket compresses against the wall and would fail with a high amount of shear force (not likely) Upside down as in the video the wieght of the shelf applies tension to the wall anchor making it more likely to strip the anchor out of the wall. Also as said above the head of the screw/ screw threads are supporting all weight placed on the shelf as opposed to the structure of the bracket supporting the weight and the screw keeping the shelf in place.

This video is so satisfying. I don't need to tell you how many ill informed tutorials there are online, never properly toeing the line between too much and too little information. This is perfection, so much so that the tutorial itself is like a work of art, every thought one would have following the process is accounted for, so thorough, so informative. This is the standard every tutorial should follow. I have no need to install a shelf right now, but when I do I know where I'm going.

It’s worth noting: when driving the tapcon screws in the concrete/brick scenario, make sure you switch out of hammer drill mode and bring the torque down on your drill (usually the ideal torque will be listed on tapcon package) to avoid breaking the head off your screw 😊

I watch them in the hope that I can be as organized one day. In future, can you please make a video about your overarching psychology, especially concerning your organizational philosophy? I'd really really like to know how you tackle 'slacking off' on that aspect. For me, all it takes is one lapse and everything snowballs into a disorganized shit heap. Would love it if you could make that video for all us hopeless ADHDers!

Maybe your next video can be on they physics of fastener pullout of 0.5" screws vs 2" screws and why resting the shelf on top of the brackets is stronger and even more upper class and why the book ends can be made simply out of bent some sheet metal. You could also make the next video about the snippy comments are from youtube's audience of geniuses but that may require a 3rd video to remind everyone that half of us are below average intelligence yet our ability to figure out which half we sit in is fundamentally broken.

My dad (a retired general contractor + amazing finish carpenter) taught me: use a magnet to find wall studs -of course, the magnet attaches to sheet rock screw heads. Do this rather than an electronic stud finder (even the better ones are often inaccurate). You must apply some common sense about framing; once the magnet sticks, follow down the wall in a vertical line to find other screws. After you mark first magnet/screw location, move 16” in either direction to look for the adjacent studs. With this, you’ll know for _near_ certain that you’ve found the stud.

If I had known Ninja's possessed such great carpentry skills, I might have rethought my life trajectory! ;-) (also your channel easily ranks in my top 5 favorites AND I think I enjoy your contributions as much, if not more than your brothers stuff, which I hope is saying something!)

It's a shame most homes are built like that. Perhaps the best thing about my house (first one, big step, proud me!) is that it's all wood, everywhere, so all surfaces are ready to have stuff mounted on them. Gotta say that you, Casey, and Tom, have inspired me to build everything I can with rugged simplicity, and I don't remember but I'm sure that inspiration played a part in chosing a house with infinite screwability built in.

Something about watching a good instructional video about building something is satisfying. Not as satisfying as building it. But more satisfying than most videos. Blank.

For the life of me I have never been able to find these damn 4" corner braces anywhere. Damn you Van Neistat!

What about if you want to install a small shelf in the bathroom and you have a stud finder but there is an electrical outlet nearby where you're going to drill your holes into the wall? Thank you for sharing. My Dad chose drugs and alcohol versus teaching us kids about productive things like this for your home. Thank you again.

Hey Van, what is your reasoning for mounting the braces above vs. below the shelf? I am looking to get as much real estate out of each shelf and those corner braces consume a fair bit of precious real estate in this orientation. Yes, I can simply use your methodology and mount them on the underside but I am curious to know more about your mindset and reasoning. Thanks!

THIS! SO GOOD !!! and the last one about driving stick, is the best type of both explaining, learning, video like this. I Love this shit, So cool to see (quite simple) tips and tricks one would need, from building a shelf, giving individuals their own appreciation of their finesse.(or lack there off haha)

if you pre drill anyways, you can place the corner brace flush to the edge of the board and it won't split

Why is the corner brace on top of the shelf not under?
