I like how you put all those items on the cat's new climbing tree. They should have a good time knocking them off as they enjoy their climb.

I agree. I've seen a bit similar setup with IKEA float shelves where they made all the parts that get screwed into the wall out of metal. Making those parts out of wood, too, seems like a nice solution.

So, I have been in my house for just over 4 years. I have a 4ft wall above my computer desk that is just open. I had a more geometric (with mostly 90 degree angles) version of this at my last house, but painted it black. It collected dust and the items on it were random collectables, so my wife hated it. This has given me the perfect inspiration for a different look. I may use dowels and build and attach. Thanks for the idea and different wall attachment than keyholes.

That's a great focal point for the room, and a great use of that wall space, plus being very visually interesting with the angles, and the color contrasts with the lighter wood. Well done! And I like the alternative assembly you described at the end over the solid wood approach (mainly because I'm too much of a cheapskate with current lumber prices to hang all that hardwood). 😎

This is the best floating shelf method i've seen yet! So how to do you attach the dowels to the backing piece? Glue them into holes drilled into it?

@louroberts5567 2 жыл бұрын

Good morning, April. Once again you've shown us a really cool idea, come to fruition. One question. What are the odds, you'll walk into the room to find your cat on the shelves and your items on the floor or couch? hahaha! 🐱Cats! Thanks for Floating this shelving by us!😉 Have a GREAT week!

@mariano_353 2 жыл бұрын

Clever method. I think it would help to drill the hole as high as possible above the midpoint of the board's edge. That way the shelf "hangs" from the dowel and it will have less sag.

@BearCreekWoodworking 2 жыл бұрын

I like your trick of cutting the dowels on the bandsaw to aid with the installation of the shelves. I also like your floating shelf design that does not require the purchase of special hardware. The only improvement I can think of is cutting a chamfer or slot down the joint line of the two halves of the shelf. This will create a shadow line that may help hide the joint if there is a slight gap. This slot may also help in displaying plates on the shelf. Overall an AWESOME Project!!! Your "Shelf Wall" looks GREAT April!!! 😀👏

This whole thing is great. I used to use a similar paint roller but it hooked up to my airless sprayer. I like your torsion box idea for the next idea. Maple plywood has been my go to for floating shelves. I would do full miter folds for a seamless finish. I like your two piece design, I would suggest that you back cut the box 5-10 degrees where it meets your mounting strips, that will give you room and ease to scribe for a seamless finish. I’m so doing this for my next shelving job.
