Floating Shelves DYI

This project began in Jan., a few stops to big orange for 3" wood screws and wood. Originally, I had these metal 1.5" screws but upon use they totally stripped themselves from the hand drill. I have found a rough design of these shelves from a blog online.  Not much is different, but certainly selecting your wood type will vary your costs. My net cost was a out 70 dollars. Certainly I have learned a few tricks after doing these, so the following similar projects will go easier.
