My First Project

Looks great! How did you attach it to the wall?

Great job. Nice shelf.

I put a cleat on the wall sized exactly to fit in the back of the shelf. If you look closely at the last picture you can see the holes for screws that go up into the cleat. I originally made it to attach to the wall permanently but they wanted to be able to take with them when they moved so I came up with the screw solution on the fly.

Thanks for the kind words.

That is a really nice looking floating shelf – your son should be quite pleased.

I like the cleat idea, gives it a super clean look. I’m going to keep that one in my pocket for future use.
