#Thin Rack Shelf

1” thick floating shelves easy way

Today I was in my shop and I saw some extra wood laying around so I decided to make a budget friendly custom floating shelf with a hidden compartment … . . #hidden #floatingshelves #shelf #hiddencompartment #wooddesign

I’ve gotten a bunch of floating shelf installation requests for the mock-up wall. I do actually have one planned, but it’s going to be in my new laundry room I think. However, the request did jog my memory about this project. It resides in my shop. This was a cutoff from an old floor joist from a Philadelphia schoolhouse. The rest of the beam was used in my kitchen Reno a number of years ago. I used a scrap piece of 1/4” angle for a bracket in this case. I wouldn’t recommend this for ALL floating shelves, but it worked in this case.

What a brilliant idea

MDF base for the shelf is done! Got it to work in three parts, no screws, and it's looking pretty okay

is this better?

You know that feeling when something just fits? That’s this shelf. No tools, no guesswork — just a few satisfying clicks and it’s done. It looks minimal, but the strength surprises people every time. Beautiful, simple, and built to last.

$1,000 to put some wood up on the wall?! I don’t think so 🙅🏻‍♂️🪵 Comment “FLOATING” and I’ll dm you a link to shop all the products you need for this build 👷🏻 My living room has been close to complete for a while now, however we really wanted some sort of shelving on either side of the fireplace to help finalize the space and make everything cohesive ✨ I initially reached out to a contractor just to get an idea of what the cost would be to have them made and came to realize, it’s A LOT 💰 So I decided it was time to learn a new skill and make them myself 💅🏻 I referenced a lot of other creators who made floating shelves and was so thankful to come across a style from @emyludesigns 🛠️ The process was extremely simple and way WAY cheaper than what it would have cost me to hire someone. I had a lot of the tools needed on hand so all in my materials were just over $200 for 4 shelves 🪛 I’m absolutely obsessed with the final results and am loving how cozy and full the space feels now 💭 My final cherry on top is finding something to hide the tv box on the left hand side of the wall, any ideas? 💡 #DIY #diyprojects #floatingshelves #tutorial #howto https://liketk.it/5ytvG

My take on an easy entryway bench. Inspired by @avwooddesigns #diy #diyproject

A couple new tools added to the tool belt on this one! Turns out carpentry isn’t that scary once you learn how to cut a straight line 😅. A few small projects are still being procrastinated (backsplash & light fixture), but the main structure is finished and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. . Investing in a @kregjig pocket hole jig and @wen.products track saw has really opened the doors on the scale of projects I have the confidence to take on. Already started on the next one and can’t wait to share 🙌🏻 . Also shout out to @westonwillow_ whose page was the nudge I needed to take a crack at a project that really intimidated me! 🪚🔨
