Quick DIY tip: If you don't have the money for real frosted windows, used some glad press n' seal :3

@MiLKS0PSTUDi0 they make a pretty nice kit for shelving if you are looking to do it in your garage... I have a vid of it on my channel.. You gotta be careful installing stuff like shelves onto walls... definitely want to do it correctly and make sure it is sturdy or someone could get hurt!

Also, quit pointing at the camera.

I agree wit 'FrustratedBaboon'. Your instructions are piss poor. If you located studs before you drilled, or used anchor screws, then you need to incorporate that instead of suggesting we install the shelves securely, show people.

You want people to get hurt ? Follow this morons advice and have all the shelves fall off. You didn't use a stud locator nor you used any sheetrock locking screws !!! Thumbs up for unsafe video !!!

Thank you Threadbanger! I was looking for an EASY way to install shelves on brackets and your instructions are BY FAR the easiest! Install one bracket, place the shelf on the bracket, check for level, remove the shelf, install the second bracket and presto...genius!

If you're a poor college student like me, you can use old shoe boxes with the lid and one side cut out, and adhered to the wall (and some added support if you're going to be putting heavier stuff in them). You can paint them to look cooler or keep them as is. I think it's going to look awesome!

There is a more affordable shelving system that is constructed out of solid oak, fully adjustable and requires only a screw driver and level to install. Search 'Wooden You Shelving'

shouldnt you specify to find the studs?

Can you hide drugs in it?

@ 1:00 I would like to note that if you're going to hang shelves on drywall, you should either use a stud finder or use drywall anchors. This is Especially true if you're going to be putting something heavy on them (i.e. Books).
