Hi Pat, I took all the items out of my pantry in November because I saw another pantry makeover -- it's now January. I took down the wire shelving, plugged the holes, sanded, primed and painted the walls. I had the store rip down the plywood and I bought a pocket hole jig. I'm a 74 year old woman. I did make a ramp for the shed last summer after seeing a KZfaq video, which was pretty easy but now I think I bit off more than I can chew and all the items are still on the counter. Nope, I don't want to pay the $500 quoted. Then I counted your shirt changes, about 10, which gave me inspiration that you didn't do all of that work in one or two days. I may not glue plywood shelves together since my items won't be that many or that heavy, but after watching the video a few times I'M INSPIRED AND AM GOING IN. Thank you so much for getting me started, I was truly tired of seeing all that stuff sitting on the counter.

this was a great instructional video. THANK YOU for not having ridiculous music in the background

The house will most likely not survive a direct hit from a tornado, but the pantry will still be in tact. Nice job, overkill is highly under rated.

These shelves are impressive! The willingness to evaluate as the project proceeds to make improvements is particularly valuable in my opinion.

Hi Pat, Without any doubt, the best engineered, best built pantry shelves I’ve ever seen. Your clear, concise explanation and detailed video footage is appreciated. Thanks for sharing this awesome project.

Exactly what I was looking for! The plywood strips glued together was the clincher. Rock solid! Thank you.

You did a fantastic job. I love the pantry shelves you created.

I really like the way your pantry shelves turned out. You did a fantastic job. These are exactly the kind of shelves I need to have installed in my pantry space which is currently unused because I have no shelves.

Wow, Pat. Great shelving tutorial but I truly hope nobody ever wants or needs to take it apart! Personally, I probably wouldn't have glued the shelving down, just in case I needed to remove it. I learned my lesson putting up bead board paneling a few years ago with glue and a framing nailer (it's all I had at the time) and since then I've thought about how I'd have to re-rock that entire wall to change it! LOL. I'm a 79 yo woman.... about 72 or so at the time...first time doing anything like that on my own......good thing I still like that wall because I won't be re-doing it! Great job on your project and I appreciate your sharing it.

Well thought out and nice construction. Thanks for sharing. You really put a lot of time in it. Im sure your wife will love it.

Well done! Great set of shelves. Maybe a missed opportunity was to put some low voltage LED down lights embedded into the bottom of the shelves as there is a good gap in there. Now that the ply is glued in place it would be tricky to remove the bottoms but others watching this may want to consider that as an option. If lights are put in then you'd probably want to screw the bottoms in rather than glue to make it serviceable in the future. Nice work!!

Thank you. This is by far the most detailed video I’ve watched on redoing a pantry.

The addition of the bottom skin turns it into a torsion box. It can't deflect without breaking that entire glue bond and ripping the nails.... You could store Gorillas in there. Nice work man!

Great step by step break down plus adjusting as you see minor defects 👏🏻

Wow I’ve watched so many videos and this one right here made me feel confident that I can do it. My first carpentry job!

Looks great. I think those shelves could withstand a tornado. Much stronger than a few people ive seen on here wing it. good job.

Great job, Pat! This is a great idea for my linen closet! Thank you.

Hi Pat! I just installed your pantry shelves in our brand new pantry. First project I've done like this but your video was all I needed! It turned out so great, thanks!!!

Nicely done. We are literally in the middle of our pantry remodel, as we speak. In the sanding phase. Man it takes forever...!

This is genius! I can finally get rid of the wire crap now! Great video!

I Love this! You did a really good job Pat! 💞 I'm turning my closet under my stairs into a walkin pantry! I have No clue what I'm doing, but I did get it all painted. Now to figure out how to make these shelves... these look really sturdy & love how it came out! I don't have all these tools so I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do this. I wish I could hire you lol. Thanks for sharing, you have gave me motivation & inspiration 🙏💞

Pantry looks great! I've been thinking of doing something similar to mine but mine is partially underneath the stairs and a small chest freezer takes up some of that room so I'm kind of limited. Great video and thanks for posting!

Excellent job Pat!! Very professional.

Looks great. I’d change the lightbulb to an led daylight and it will brighten your pantry beautiful.

Pat-great video and a great build! It is good entertainment too. My only suggestion would be to add a parts list including the specifics on the wood/braces. I am reading comments below so I am sure I will find answers to my questions. Amazing job. Thanks!

Stupendous! It was a pleasure to watch you build this! Bravo Pasquale!

I made similar shelves with pine but yours are mush more strong and stable due to double up plywood. Great idea

Beautiful work! It has a built in look that shows you care. Now I need to consider my pantry redo! Great video!

This is great, I used the exact same thing in my kids closet about 10 years ago, glad to see someone else use the same method : ) That being said, I did my pocket holes from the back-side of the shelves so you don't see it or need any banding or face frame.

Pat: very well conceived, thought out and built. An excellent tutorial, thank you so much.

This video was exactly what I was looking for in order to learn how to make those concave corners without a vertical support. Thank you!

Outstanding work, Pat.

Great idea to glue the plywood strips together like an LVL beam. I have a pantry we want to redo and I’m going to use your basic plan. We have one wall that has a pocket door behind it. Wondered what to do there and now i know to use 3/4” plywood as a backer. All great tips!!!

As one Carpenter to another I like your style great job

Great job, Pat! This is a great idea for my pantry closet exactly looks same Thank you !!!

Great job Pat - the shelves look amazing!

Awesome job, I’ve added you into my “pantry/storage file. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Awesome looks amazing. I really like how you incorporated the kreg pocket holes with this build.

Good job, your wife must enjoy her new pantry. Thanks 🙏

What an awesome build. I enjoyed the step by step and the lack of annoying music. I am at the point where I have my pantry demo done and finalizing the build this was a great video. Thanks

Thank You for showing us the detailed process.

Love the detail and how thorough you were in filling holes, sanding etc, Especially the use of the Kreg pocket jig. I have one and love it , the right tool for the job. I truly enjoy seeing people take the time and do the job the right way. I’m quite surprised you didn’t add any led lighting under the shelves. You had the electrical available. They have rechargeable strip lighting that works nicely especially in areas it’s a challenge to run electrical too. I use them in small areas where they are magnetically attached to a track you install, so removal is easy for recharging. On average I charge them maybe once a month and they are motion sensitive, great for drawers in cabinets etc. If you didn’t want to go thru the trouble and expense the rechargeable ones are cheap and long lasting. The ones I got off amazon have lasted over 5 years now. Just a thought. Great job.

Excellent work ! Your wife must be very happy !

Outstanding video. This is the highest quality build I’ve seen in its class. Thank you!

I’m certainly late to the party by a year. But this video is fantastic and I learned a lot! Thanks for a great video!

Beautiful craftsmanship!

Awesome video this is exactly what I need, a Husband with your skill set 😂 ❤ very informative and educational I might be able to do this by myself! I’m going to save your video so I can follow this step by step I just love 💕 you’re pantry, well technically you’re wife’s pantry. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Hello Pat! First I would like to thank you for sharing this video as it inspired me to learn and do the same for our pantry. Although mine was a larger area your design was used. The project took some serious commitment and hours to do myself. I laminated using both 3 layers and 4 layers depending on the need. I’ll upload you the photos shortly. Thanks again and happy holidays!

Hello from northwest Florida! You video popped up in my feed so I clicked on it, not sure why except I love DIY and I'm renovating old home built in 1939 so always love to see others doing diy projects too. Love that door! I bought the hardware months ago but I still haven't got around to it yet.

Your work's sick. Great job. Thank you for sharing.

Nice to see a craftsman show us how it's done. Nice and stout, very nice..

Pantry looks amazing

Wow !!! Beautiful work !

LOOKS FANTASTIC

lol "DIY", this is far better than most professional installs I've seen! Well done!

Very nice!!!! Incredible video! Thank you!

This turned out fantastic!

❤good quality job! Pat! I really loveeee how you are working!! Thanks !

Wow! That's looked super nice.

Excellent job, they look amazing

Nice job, you sure have a lot of patience for doing all the little details. Very nice Sir.

Thanks for sharing, great job and I admire your skill !

This is probably the best floating shelf video out there, honestly! Love the LVL approach - I bet these shelves are SOLID and aren’t going anywhere! I’ll definitely be stealing this approach from now on when building these projects. No need to research anymore - this is the way to go !

Very neat! Astounding!

Job well done, they turned out very nice.

Great job Pat !

Thanks Pat!! Am following your wisdom, will drop a link from The 5005 after... just starting a full tiny kitchen remodel with custom, limited space, pantry addition as the main show... more to come..

Excellent & very proffessionally exhibited - Woth watching this video till end. Well done keep up with more different projects.

You are amazing...im so appreciate of your honesty. You are very gifted and talented! Thank you though, for your humble tutorials. I've learned a lot from your approach. Good luck with your new shop!! Patty k.

Great job and great planning 👍🤓

Beautiful finish.

Wow! Beautiful work

You did an awesome job would love a pantry like that 👍

Meticulous and very impressive. Thank you

Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

This came out beautiful. If I only had a closet that big to redo lol Im looking into recessed shelving for my hall right now. I hope I can find something even close to as beautiful as this came out. Well done, sir!

Great job bud , Anything to make Wifey’s life easier in the Kitchen !!!

Looks great! Well done video too.

Great job, and excellent idea re the laminated ply!

I guess you don't ever want those coming out. Great job! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed!

Such simple great style!

Very nice job! Wish I had all those tools to work with.

INCREDIBLE JOB!!!

Impressive, you’ve built these shelves as if they were fine furniture!

Excellent job!

Fantastic! Looks great going to give it a try

Pantry looked awesome. Very well designed and so open. Great job. I may have to copy this. Only feedback I’d have is please lower that table saw blade.

Beautiful Job !!

These would, undoubtedly, survive a nuclear blast! The amount of glue used is likely enough to hold everything together alone. Then you added approximately 4,000 brads. What a great use of the space and an incredible transformation. Well done, Sir! You have set the bar for my pantry, I only hope I can do as good a job...

This was a good instructional video I loved it ❤

Nice job. Well done

Learning! Things I learned from this video. Clamps are a 2nd pair of hands in a space where another human would only be in the way, lol. Impact driver DOES HAVE USE, keep drill bit in one and screws in the impact. And plywood comes in real handy when you can only find wonky wood! Thanks so much I thoroughly enjoyed this one.❤

This is perfectly done

Great job! 👍

Nicely done!

Great work , i love it

nice job. Thank you for sharing.

Looks like you did a bang up job very nice

Thx fantastic. Very specific & detailed

turned out beautiful, but done differently as a carpenter, and i used then cheaper carpentry slats! try to think 3 steps ahead helps me a lot! thanks!
