Custom shelves with no visible brackets

About this tutorial

In her first woodworking video, Heliox builds shelves that seem to float yet hold heavy spools of filament. Battens fixed to the wall carry hollow MDF shelves, reinforced with a glued frame and joined with dowels. A project within reach of complete beginners.

What you need

• 22 mm battens
• MDF boards
• Dowels and dowel centres
• Wall plugs and screws
• Wood glue and nails
• Drill, masonry bit and laser level
• Sandpaper, primer and paint
