 Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel. It is Drew here from Lone Fox and I am with Rachel Mets from living to DIY Rachel Mets is literally DIY Queen like her YouTube channel you guys is so good and I've been following you for so long They're probably like two and a half years and I knew no cuz that makes me nervous You slid into well not even slid into my DMs I think I slid into yours and then I think I messaged you again like I don't even know I don't even know this was you I like freaked out because I am such a big fan as I get on her Yeah, well anyways, thank you for that Rachel does literally the best stuff with power tools I know nothing about a power tool So I thought it would be really fun for you to kind of teach me how to use a power tool Yeah, and then we're gonna make this like really cool shelving system that I saw at IKEA Which I'll pop up a photo right now for you guys I saw this at IKEA and I sent it to Rachel I texted it to her and I was like Can we make something like this a hundred and thirty dollars at IKEA? Honestly that IKEA looks like it should be like fifty dollars. Well, it's a piece of plywood. We spent twenty two dollars Twenty two dollars total on this project and well in some books maybe like twenty four twenty five dollars We're walking through our own deep on I started really realizing what this build was I almost got like jealous So I'm like I picked the most difficult builds But that's your video so good. No, but that's why I'm like I wish I thought of this But now I'm excited cuz I'm just I can't wait to see you use the table. I know I'm oh And a good miter love a good miter saw I love a miter saw. I love a table saw. I love a what are the kind of sauce? Circular saw okay, I'm so excited right now. Yeah, I get so nervous before I build some just I just want to be done All right, I think let's get into it. Okay, Rachel and I are in Home Depot not my stomping ground is that from yours? We're gonna get we're gonna make this as easy as possible for you guys It's not gonna be that hard Rachel. There's a project Pantel What the Pantone Center all right guys, so the oh that bird is me Flying in the home Depot. What do you think it's looking for? Probably bird seed. They probably sell that here in the exterior section Basically, we're changing the shape from the idea one because our original idea one's like a square. Yep Like a perfect perfect. It's like a hashtag. That's literally what it is. It's a hashtag So we are now creating I feel like it kind of makes it a little bit like 70s almost like a longer and skinnier Yeah, it's just more sleek instead of yeah, I mean an eye for when you look at your wall and it's like big Yeah, it's like sexy. I wanted to be like skin like a skinny legend shelf But I overlay right now showing you guys a piece of wood And that kind of has the cuts that we're gonna attempt to make or we are gonna make we're not even gonna attempt Well, I tried one and it didn't go well, so I'm hoping this goes smoother We hope it goes smoother tonight. I think you need one of these right chill in your house I literally just have a thousand series your cutting solution vertical panel saw With safety speed manufacturing The guy that cut our wood thinks that we are a couple and we have a ten-year-old kid, so And he got your number So some of the additional tools we're gonna be using are a speed square hammer chisel tape measure pencil and also these little D-ring hangers, but what I wanted to start off doing is showing you cat She's running around But we actually needed to go in and cut down one of our long strips that he cut for us originally in half So that we're gonna have two twenty four inch long sections and then two forty eight inch long sections Okay, okay now you can start it. Okay, I should know oh my gosh the first wood cut I've ever cut Really wood chuck could cut wood So we cut the wood which I just showed you guys and now we're marking at eight inches on These little 24 inch sections, which are the ones we cut Marking at eight and at 16 because those are where we're going to cut the grooves and to hold these shelves Just a quarter inch on either side of this I Used a ruler on either side to make a starting point and then I drew a line down to the center of that wood piece Which is four inches down So now we're ready to cut kind of scared We'll do the smaller pieces first and pull the wood away Okay, and then the toggle on the bottom that says on and off Okay, and then let it keep going No, you pull it up basically chisel out that little nub. Yeah, and then that will be our first joint Okay, we also decided that because the table saw not everyone or I feel like not a lot of people have a table saw We're gonna use this circular saw which is the saw over here Because a lot of people can easily access the circular saw and I personally have never used power tools before so I'm actually kind of excited to Use multiple different types of saws as opposed to just a table saw and just a miter saw I wanted to learn how to use a circular saw to you know, so we're gonna do that and cut these ones Okay, so now that all the cuts are made We're actually gonna be using this little chisel here and we're going to be chiseling out this inside section That way we don't have to use some form of power tool. It just seems a lot easier like that The joints cut down We're literally just gonna puzzle piece it together by putting the halves to slide into one another to connect it That's literally now all the assembly that this makes so a little bit of blue and they're ready to use a speed square to just make sure we have these 90 degree angles and That's it. We're done like three steps So we ended up using a paintbrush and just some wood glue to add a little bit of glue to each of these little slots because once you Actually press them together They are going to be extremely tight because they're actually very form-fitting But the wood glue is just gonna act as an additional bonder to make sure that everything is nice and perfectly just placed and in The perfect place if that makes sense I'm also using a mallet and a little piece of wood to just make sure that this is fit together Extremely snug and it's just going to last forever Good, and then don't we just have to add the little d-hooks to the back And then Rachel also mentioned that if you wanted to because these still will hold like a good amount of stuff like they're pretty Sturdy, you know, but if you wanted to put like huge books across something and use it like a bookshelf She mentioned that you could put brackets underneath these sections and put it on the wall like that So that way it holds up more weight, but I'm not gonna have that much weight on mine So I'm just gonna hang it from like the center points here The next day it was time to hang the shelf on the wall and this is actually part of my room makeover video I did about a week ago on my channel I absolutely love the outcome of my room and this just made it look so incredibly amazing and it fits this space perfectly So I hung up some drywall anchors or I hammered them in then I added screws Then I hung my shelf on the drywall anchors to make sure that it was really gonna be mounted and secured nicely because I did Want to add a couple nice pieces of decor on here. So I started off with a large flow hanging plant I've had this plant for so long. I want to actually transition it to a real one But I haven't yet and then I added just a ton of random knick-knacks a little radio this film canister from the thrift store Some candles some books some Palo Santo a helmet whatever you want to put on your shelf style it away And you're good to go. I'm a little bit jealous how simple this build was. Yeah, so easy Look at it. It's right here. I just can't believe that it's basically three steps. Yeah, and you're done You measure cut put together. Yeah, and I hope that you guys enjoyed this bill And I hope you enjoyed watching it so when he was using all the saws and all the power tools I loved using the power tools. I love coming over to Rachel's house This is actually the first time that we've actually met We weren't gonna film the first time we went but then it was just like so what like casual We're like, let's just build this and film at the same time, but I also feel like right when you pulled up I was like it just feels like you've been my friend.
