3 Ways to Build Floating Shelves
What happens here
The presenter introduces the intermediate level floating shelf. The materials include three 1x6 boards (actually 1x7 by label, but he corrects himself to 1x6 in later steps based on dimensions for the build) and one 2x2 board (which is actually 1.5x1.5 inches in actual dimension). He states the material cost for this shelf is $37. He then displays the cutting dimensions on a whiteboard: Top/Bottom pieces are 7 inches by 72 inches, Side pieces are 3 inches by 6 1/2 inches, and the Front piece is 3 inches by 72 inches. He later corrects the side pieces to be 1 1/2 inches by 7 inches instead of 3 inches by 6 1/2 inches to account for the thickness of the material.
Goal: Gather materials and understand the dimensions for the intermediate shelf.
