How to Build a Floating Mantel (DIY Floating Mantel / Shelf Built from Scratch)

I was surprised you didn't use a guide of any kind to make those 45 degree angle cuts. Do you not need a guide to make those cuts?

Enjoy the videos, at least you show the average DYI not to get discouraged, move on and your projects will be fine, I found if you don’t point out your mistakes, no one will notice them, practice and you will become proficient!

Can you make this longer? Like 82 inches long? And the other measurements 8x8?

"A fraction of the cost you could buy online" and ....WAAAAYYY BETTER!!!!! Holy smokes, I love your videos! You are amazing, your can do attitude is such a gift and refreshing to see, thanks for sharing. You turned that house into a home and it looks incredible!!!! Keep inspiring!!!

Can you tell me what kind of wood you used, and how big the final shelf was?

Gonna be painting the inside of my garage! Could use a respirator!

You say 2x10 and 2x6 in the video, but the plans say 1x lumber. Can you clarify? Thank you.

Wow this is great!! I'm inspired! Thanks for your time and effort into making the videos so we can all benefit and learn too from what you're learning! And a PDF!! You rock, thank you!

Really nice build bud

The final result looked absolutely stunning! 😍Your floating mantel added such a stylish and modern touch to the space, and it's clear you put a lot of care and attention into every detail.

To clarify… it’s 1x10 and 1x6, right? You said 2x and I bought the wrong stuff…

I've been eyeing floating mantels for ages, but the price tags always put me off. But this video not only saved me money but also empowered me to create something unique for my home.

i need the masks for driy wall sanding

I followed your design and 45'ed my arm off, but its okay at least the mantel came out nice .

Nice work. Subbed. What’s the design software you use? I’m looking for something like that

Looks amazing! Can you please confirm that you used a 2x10 and 2x6?

The video looks more like 1x10 and 1x6

Finally got it. Thanks!

I was never able to download the PDF

I am going to rehab a table I got. It's old, but solid wood, sanding, make any repairs.

Im buying my first home and rehabbing the whole place myself, even the roof! Your videos are a ton of help and inspiring! I could def use one of those masks! Thanks for the info :D

This feels like something I can do!

I juat watched your video on mounting cabinets on concrete, at the end you were hoping to get to 100 subs. You've come a long way!

Love this floating shelf design. Looks like a great project for me to practice with my new table saw. Also, would those masks be useful for dirt/sand that's kicked up while mowing a lawn?? I'm always mowing through a literal sand cloud and I know that can't be safe. Even if not, my wife loves playing with the scroll saw and could definitely use some lung protection!

This is a great project, love that you did the PDF! I'm going to have to order a stud buddy. Those reusable masks look awesome, would be perfect for my basement renovation.

Yessir killing it

What kind of program do you use for designing everything? Im looking into whole home & landscaping programs, they seem to range in subscription 100+ year.

I'm preparing to replace the mantle in my living room. This is such a great project. Thanks for the ideas!

I am helping to build my first house. A mask would be very helpful for all this concrete dust I’ve been breathing in. Your fence post video is what got me to your channel. Thanks for your consideration.

Good job! The instructions were easy to understand and I appreciate how you used simple tools and materials.

Nice job dude, my boss made about 5 of these but much smaller for a client a few years back. Looked really cool as a simple pattern of floating shelves.
Speaking of which, did you make the honeycomb shelves behind you in the scenes where you’re in your office/room? They seem simple enough, but I’d love a video on how to make those

I'm inspired by your basement video and after I finish a new pantry in my kitchen I'm going to do that. I'd love a mask to help me with that project. Thanks!

LOVE a good flooring shelf...and your mad SketchUp skills!

Thanks for showing each cut. It’s extremely helpful for us to understand the full process. Appreciate the thoroughness!

Thank you! Perfect timing I’m going to use this idea!

He is so handsome. Sorry but I just had to say it.

Going to start framing my basement, would love to give the mask a try

Love these videos! I just bought a house this month and I’m finishing a fence this week. And once the weather warms up just enough I have to fix up the deck out back, so that mask will be helpful with all the wood work I’m going to be doing 😮‍💨

That turned out pretty nice... I was hoping to see the barn door it matched lol... Question... Those octagon shelves behind you... Did you build those also? If so or even if not, that would be a neat simple project I'd like to see... Keep up the beautiful practical work! I for one love saving money d.i.y.

I am going to be doing a couple of projects, ripping out tiles and old carpet to install vinyl planks, making a custom bookshelf for my wife, floating deck out the back, and a deck out the front.

I am building cabinets for a friend. Never built cabinets but 🤷‍♂️

This floating shelf is really awesome, simple yet practical! 👍Thank you, Andrew, for your love and support for our BASE CAMP masks! Our brand has been dedicated to the safety equipment industry since 2005, focusing on delivering high-quality products and services. Good luck to all the entries. ✌✌

Perfect Timing! My mother in law had been working on a remodel and I am going to install a Floating mantle for her. Your plan is much more efficient looking than I was planning! Thank You!!! 🙏🏼 🎉

Thanks, Man! Really want one of these masks for sanding I use nothing and know I really should!

Love this channel, and thanks for all your tips and tricks! Right now I’m working on finishing a closet and living room in my basement, then I start on the basement bath. Yes, I’ve watched your basement bath vids several times now to get the big picture!

I'm building an oddly shaped floating mantel that needs to support a soundbar. That Base Camp Dusk Mask would be great for me.

The TV being off center would bug me.

I need one of those masks for mixing concrete

It looks great and very easy to do. I would love to try a new mask for my outdoor projects.
