What happens here

Cut 2x4 lumber to the required dimensions for the floating shelf frames. The main horizontal pieces will be 75.25 inches long (front and back of the frame), and the vertical support studs will be 7.5 inches long. This will result in an 11-inch deep shelf once cladding is added. Use a miter saw for precise cuts. Drill pocket holes into the ends of the shorter vertical studs. Apply wood glue to the joints and secure the pieces together with pocket hole screws every 15 inches along the horizontal pieces, creating a rigid ladder-like frame structure.

Goal: Cut 2x4 lumber to specific lengths and assemble them using wood glue and pocket hole screws to create sturdy frames for the floating shelves.

building those shelves all right the floating shelves are gonna be made out of two by fours they're gonna be 75 and a quarter inches long two of them in the back front and back and then the reinforcing studs are gonna be seven and a half because by the time we start wrapping it and adding it together the total depth will be 11 inches gonna slice and dice and put some pocket holes out the studs are going to be secured with glue and pocket holes every 15 inches or so we're going to secure it this way using this pocket hole bit and pocket hole screws that go together and then because we won't have enough room to get the drill bit through here when we put the top piece or the front piece whatever you want to call it probably front for us over we're going to secure from the top with regular screws [Music] all right all three shelves are done
