Trick for installing a floating mantle! #carpentry #homereno

What happens here

This video demonstrates the installation of a floating wood mantle, which functions as a decorative wood beam, using a hidden bracket system. The process involves securing lag screws into wall studs, removing their heads to create protruding metal dowels, drilling corresponding holes into the back of the mantle, applying construction adhesive, and then sliding the mantle onto these dowels for a clean, floating appearance. This method achieves a robust hidden support but does not utilize adjustable post supports, which was specified in the request context.
