Here's a video of some simple alcove shelves I made for a customer. They're 12" deep and around 1.3m wide. This is the simple method that doesn't involve using a nail gun. Normally for speed I'd use a nail gun for projects like this. These are fully enclosed 'floating' shelves with no visible brackets. The customer wanted them left unfinished so they could paint them themselves. These shelves have an 18mm MDF top, 6mm MDF bottom and are supported by 20mm timber bracing, making a total thickness of 44mm which was appropriate for the width to avoid sagging. Enjoy and don't forget to Subscribe!
