One of the things you might want to consider is making a "V" groove for the LEDs. You can then mount the LED strip facing away from you. You still get plenty of light, but it isn't aimed in such a way that you would get the LEDs shining into your eyes. Love your work! Love your positive approach!

The think I like the most about your videos is how happy and proud you are of yourself after something workout exactly as you planned. Excellent built 💪🏼💪🏼

For LEDs, you might want to also look up sk6812b led strips. They are proper RGBW, meaning there's the usual RGB leds plus an additional dedicated proper white LED

I'll always take the time to watch floating shelf videos. The more I watch, the better equipped I can be when making them..

A good way to cool your drill down is actually just holding the trigger down while theres no load (just not drilling) The cooling fan on the armature will cool the motor down quick and efficiently. A lot of power tools fail due to them getting hot under high load and then just placed down, letting the motor sit there in hot air weakening the varnish. It needs cool air to be pulled through it. Putting it in front of a fan helps but it doesnt cool the internals as quickly as the armature fan would.

For the task lighting, I have used an aluminium extrusion to mount the strip to. This help disapate some heat to help prolong the life of the strip.

I did almost this exact project, (well except for the rgb leds). I had a 8 quarter slab, milled it and cut it down for floating shelves. I bought welded hangers or brackets though that screwed into the studs. The advantage there is you don't have to worry about drilling perpendicular to the wall or parallel to the floor. You can either route a groove into the back or cut out the drywall, so you don't have a gap between the wall and the back of the shelf. I would recommend these brackets. It's easy to slightly angle them up to compensate for the drag from the weight of the shelf and what it is supporting.

Brad you are an inspiration. Thank you for leveling up your previous project and detailing all the steps. True pro!

The final result looks amazing. One big warning, though. Drilling more than 1" into any stud can be very dangerous and very expensive. Plumbing and electrical could be there. In newer construction, you will likely hit a steel plate first. But in older homes, you will not have that luxury.

I work with a lot of LED lighting in residential and commercial settings and the majority of products I use come from GM Lighting. Highly recommend their products. They have a very wide variety of different kinds of LED lighting & drivers and a lot of other cool products as well. They have a nice website as well as a KZfaq channel that showcases some of their stuff.

You are a next level Woodworker. Lots of detail and extra non woodworking electrical skill. Thanks for the show.

@robertkerby2581

Wow, you built an exceptionally awe-inspiring shelf that is straightforward and I believe, "achievable for me"!

@TooManyProjectsWorkshop Жыл бұрын

Awesome project. In future you might consider sticking your LEDs to a strip of aluminium and allowing a little airflow to get behind the aluminium.

Little thing but props to giving credit on the square tip for the rods. I didn’t see the original you mentioned but it’s nice to see people give credit to other creators in a world of stealing content.

great work love the dual LEDS. We are getting ready to remodel the office this summer and this will have to go on my list to do!

You should check out the ShopSmith woodworking machine. The horizontal boring feature would have saved you a lot of headache! If you’ve never had a drill press with a 90 degree reference fence…it’ll change your life lol People are always skeptical about multi-function machines but I’ve always been very impressed with its reliability.
