Diy Floating Shelves Easy. This is a great beginner project… very simple cuts and assembly! Finish the shelves with minwax special walnut stain and with wood conditioner.
It’s easy and this tool is definitely handy and can be. And they're strong even though they have no visible supports. There are two common methods for hanging floating shelves.
Supply list for 3 shelves.
A simple cleat that’s attached directly to the wall, and a hollow box that slides snugly over the cleat. The only major tools you will need is a circular saw, a drill, and a hammer. We made them from only two parts—half of a hollow core door and a 2x4. Well, as soon as you put your art up, all of a sudden they disappear and those shelves look like they are floating.
