Definitely yes to tying in more electronics with your word working! I've been trying to plan a similar project except I want to run the low voltage wire through the drywall behind it. You just gave me a great idea exactly how to do it!
-
This is the first of your videos I've seen. Great shop setup. Most importantly, I really like the way you not only talk about safety, but you really PRACTICE safety as well! Earplugs, glasses, push sticks, etc.
-
For a truely hidden switch (with no standby power draw), consider using a “normally open” reed switch embedded inside the shelf. Then just place a strong magnet over the top of the reed switch to turn it on.
-
I appreciate that you include/admit mistakes. Too often video DIYers present themselves like they can do no wrong - but we all make mistakes.
-
I like that you include the mistakes into your videos, its adds something wholesome to your work

I've seen a lot of videos of DIY'ers doing LED lights, and I would have to say that your video is by far the best so far. I have been an electrician for 30 years now and have done more LED lights than I can say. You hit a home run on this one, however, I would have just run a power wire to the shelves and not used battery operated LED's, but that's what I do for a living anyway. Great job!
-
Dude, seriously good job on conception and execution. I also enjoy blending woodworking, 3d printing, and microelectronics together. It is seriously a match made in heaven these days with what we can do.
-
First time watching this video on your channel, love it, looking forward to watch more and learn to build 🤙🏼🙌🏼 keep it up!
-
I love incorporating electronic stuff into builds. Definitely would love to see more.
-
Great job Brad! Always enjoy your videos. Your one of my favorite to watch. You actually really helped me out when I first started wood working because mistakes where made LOL!!! And that really helped me push forward and not quit
-
Done something close to this with my kids floating shelves... But I drilled into the dry wall and dropped cables from each of the Floating shelves behind the dry wall to a wall dry line box and powered from mains usb power instead of battery packs. No worrying about charging or hot battery packs while charging then. Great job and looks so well. Well done.

Dude, I've been doing odd and ends carpentry for about five years now. I'm so OCD when it comes to perfection. I have every tool imaginable, but still learning every time I build something. Today I built 4 floating shelves for each side of our fireplace. I used the tape method I saw in your video, and OMG! Game Changer! Thank you so much for posting this video. This made things so much easier!
-
Great job on yet another project that I have on my list to do! Would love to see a nice still image of the entire wall showing both the shelves and the unit below.
-
I love the subtle comedy in your videos, the inception plug in was dope. I always use blue painters tape in my floating shelf glue ups. It holds strong and doesn't tar out any wood fibers when you remove it, nor does it leave any adhesive behind that you have to sand off or may clog any wood grain.
-
I obsses over making my office space as epic and pro level as possible. Videos like this just inspire me to keep trying to take things to the next level. 🤩

Hi Brad, I just came across this video on my feed and gotta say, I absolutely loved your work, edit and pace. I have never done anything like this in my life, but I am wishing to do it in the future, so I really enjoy seeing videos like yours to learn and get ideas from. Keep up the great work! Just subscribed to see more in the future.
-
Cool tape tip! Gotta grab some 🔥🔥
-
Never been comfortable with electronics but you make it look so easy. Really nice shelves. Very well done! Keep up the great videos....
-
This is great! I did something similar with my bar but, led’s on top to uplight the bottles on the bar. I ran the low voltage wire down the inside of the wall and plugged in to outlet below with LED transformer. New to the channel and looking forward to exploring!
