What separates a new woodworker from a pro is how well they hide their mistakes. I always appreciate when creators leave the mistakes in their videos, how to fix things is nearly as important as how to make things.
-
I was legitimately thinking "oh yeah look at this guy with a beautiful workshop just effortlessly making perfect stuff" until disaster struck. I'm so happy you kept it in the video proving this doesn't always work out as first thought out to be, but with a creative approach they're always solvable. Et godt stykke håndverk!

Used this technique tonight with the threaded rods. Looked pretty good. Then I went to my bedroom on the other side of the wall and realized I drilled all the way through to the bedroom and the threaded rods were poking out. Guess I'm installing a floating shelf in the bedroom, too!
-
Showing your mistakes and your solutions to them are the most valuable parts of instructional videos!
-
These might be the most beautiful shelves I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing that with us Alexandre!
-
I love the fact that you actually share your mistakes with us, as well. As a beginner word worker, I feel like it's important to realize that everything rarely goes to plan. I love the improvisation of jigs and tricks to help you get the results that you're after
-
wow! I'm really happy with how cheerful this video is.
-
Good tip for making sure you drill each hole in the shelves at precisely the same depth. Measure the desired length on your drill-bit and wind a piece of paper tape around the bit itself at that exact spot. Once you drill up to that spot you simply stop and you know that each hole has the desired depth. Great looking shelves!
-
May I just say that.. Man, you are UNDERAPPRECIATED... The amount of time, effort, and hard work you put into every video. Both on and off screen is immense. It's truly wild. Your talent, skill, perfectionism and charisma knows no bounds. Great job as always. Love your videos. 💕🙏🏾

My wife has been wanting floating shelves in our kitchen, and I have been trying to come up with the best way to do it. This looks so much easier than what I was planning. Nice and simple! Thanks for the inspiration. Subscribed...

The threaded rod idea is amazing for floating shelves! Very strong. You obviously did a good job framing that wall. Anytime I’ve put floating shelves that long on a wall. You could definitely see the waves in the wall due to gaps between the shelf and the wall.
-
So fantastic! I love how you use everything from small handtools to super drill press and table saw for this project. Measure twice, cut once! Great video Alexandre, thanks for making it.
-
Initial thoughts when you started drilling: doesn't he want to mark the desired depth or something... Few minutes later: ooh, I see😁
-
How in the world you only have 285K subs?? These are the most dynamic and well thought out woodworking videos I've ever seen.
-
I have absolutely no intention to make these shelves, and yet, I enjoy watching you work. Good job!
-
That chamfering and edge finishing work is master touch. Appreciated.
-
I really like that 70° bevel on the edge of the shelf, very effective.
-
My cat would flippin' love those shelves.
-
I love the way you combine modern machinery and super old school techniques when you need to.
-
I appreciate that you showed your mistakes and way to fix them. It's oftentimes too easy to make a video appear as though everything went perfectly.
