How to Install Floating Shelves/DIY Floating Shelves

“Cut away the drywall and mount directly on the stud” - and the fog cleared and I never saw the world the same again; new options lay before me everywhere I looked.

We lived in a house with floating shelves. It was haunted. We moved to another house where shelves don't actually float in the air. Now we're no longer frightened.

I am now staring at my floating shelves and judging them... harshly...

Those steel brackets are great - but be careful with a 2"+ screw - there could be wires or water pipes that run through the centre of the studs (code allows for this, meaning it could be as close as 1 3/8" away from the front edge!) Nailplates would likely only be used if the hole was closer than than 1 1/4" from the front, so the long screw is strong, but a tiny bit of a gamble if you're not sure what's back there!

I’m a new woodworker- learning great tips from you. I’m planning on building floating shelves/drawers in my garage shop. You are very knowledgeable with a warm personality. PS I’m a 70 year old woman who has always been a tomboy. Now I’m a tomboy with a table saw. Lol

I am so glad I found this video, I have these floating shelf brackets from Rockler and was planning on attaching them to the studs through the dry wall. Thank you for pointing out the obvious - duh, drywall will crush.

Just a work of caution to check for wiring and/or plumbing running through wall studs. These are typicality run through bored holes in the middle of studs. The 2” screws will short a wire or puncture a pipe if present. Good info on installing the floating shelf.

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement

My husband watched your video and said that you did a very good professional job! 😀

As a long-time teacher, I am super-impressed with your VERY clear explanation and teaching stye. You could jump into a classroom and be a star(but of course, you already are). Would be a blast to take a class with you. Kudos Jason!

Great video as always! This is super helpful for me. We are hanging five floating shelves in our house, and this video couldn't have been better timing.

@dangnify

Nice video. I used a similar approach but different in that no pre fabbed brackets are needed just a couple pieces of all thread. Layout the center of the studs. I used at least 2 for shorter shelves three or more for longer heavier shelves. Drill holes sized for the root diameter of the threads. Double nut the all thread at one end and turn them in with a wrench. Drill holes in the edge of the shelves, centered of course on the thickness of the shelf and sized for the outside diameter of the threaded rods plus 1/32". As in your case, holes must be carefully laid out and drilled perpendicular, and to the correct depth. I went about 2.5" in to the wall stud. No drywall needs to be removed so actual hole depth is about 3" from the finished wall surface. One other thing, before fitting the shelf to the all thread, its a good idea to place the shelf on top of the studs to see if scribing is necessary. Some walls aren't perfect, if you can believe that. thaks

Been a subscriber for months now and this video is one that I have returned to on several occasions as I will be starting a project to do a floating desk for my daughter's house. Great job, thank you for the clear explanation and process; even a newbie like me can do it!
