We tried many methods and settled on this one for making fitted chunky shelving with concealed supports. The video is a summary of how to build this style of floating shelves, showing you the internal component parts and outer skins, with a detailed description of how we manufacture and install them. For more details subscribe or search for other videos on my channel showing projects in which we have built more of these shelves, also in oak. They are strong, tight fitting and they look great. These white ones are made from moisture resistant MDF (Medite brand) spray painted in a white eggshell finish but we also use a similar method for solid woods, birch plywood, or oak veneered MDF with solid oak lipping.
