What each slide does

1. 1Hook

   Opening: the finished project over a photo, with time and cost.

   In the example

   A floating oak shelf with no visible brackets

   One afternoon · €35

   Tools, steps and the one mistake to avoid.

2. 2List

   Tools and materials, each with a short note.

   In the example

   Tools and materials

   You need

   • Drill and 8 mm bit — For the wall plugs.
   • Spirit level — A level app works at a push.
   • Wall detector — Check for pipes and cables first.
   • Hidden shelf bracket — Rods that slot into the shelf.
   • Oak board, 80 cm — Cut to size at the timber yard.

3. 3Steps

   Step 1, with its measurement.

   In the example

   Mark the height and level it

   1 — 4

   Pencil a line 35 cm above the desk. Check it twice with the level.

4. 4Steps

   Step 2.

   In the example

   Drill, plug and fix the bracket

   2 — 4

   Drill to 60 mm, tap in the plugs, then screw the bracket tight to the line.

5. 5Steps

   Step 3.

   In the example

   Drill the shelf to match

   3 — 4

   Same spacing as the rods, slightly wider, straight into the back edge.

6. 6Steps

   The last step, with the tip that saves the job.

   In the example

   Slide it on and fix it

   4

   Push the shelf onto the rods. A dab of glue in each hole stops it sliding.

   Wrap tape round the drill bit at the right depth so you never go too far.

7. 7Comparison

   The wall before and after.

   In the example

   The corner, before and after
