Here was the big pile of Select Pine Boards before we got started!

“Select

First, we did an entire test row. We installed a row of brackets (in our case, we were using corner braces which worked great, and were much cheaper compared to normal brackets.)

“Installing

We used our laser level to make sure all of the brackets were being screwed in nice and level.

“installing

Then, we put shelves on top of the brackets (without screwing them yet). We did this so we could 1) Get a precise measurement of how much we would have to cut off the end of one piece of wood for each row, and 2) To make sure that the shelf was sturdy enough to hold up lots of DVDs!

“Dry

It worked great!

“Testing

Then it was time to install the rest of the brackets. Using an end bracket on one side, Ken worked his way vertically to ensure that each shelf was spaced properly to allow for a DVD case height. We used a piece of scrap wood that was cut to match the average height of a DVD/BluRay case.

“Installing

“Installing

(We knew that, thanks to the height of our wall, we wouldn’t be able to get every space evenly, so our top row is a “tall” shelf, meaning that there is more space between the top shelf and ceiling than there is between the other shelves. But that was fine, and it would be great to house some of our taller DVD collections).

Then, thanks to the magic of photography, we had a wall full of brackets!

“Corner

“Corner

To get the correct length of our shelves to fit the entire length of the wall, we used, for each row, one 8 foot Select Pine Board uncut, and then a 6 foot Select Pine Board, which we had to cut about 14 inches from for it it fit the wall properly.

So, we placed the 8 foot pine boards on the brackets.

“DVD

Then we measured and cut each piece of 6 foot pine board.

“Measuring

We just used a miter saw to cut the wood. We clamped it down the make the cut easier, but we actually placed the clamp on a scrap piece of wood to avoid denting or damaging the pine board.

“Using

“Using

Unfortunately the miter saw wasn’t quite long enough, and we had to do two separate cuts. (See below where the wood wasn’t completely cut). It still worked fine though, and we didn’t have to use or purchase any additional tools.

“Using

Then we placed the cut pieces on the brackets and we had a full set of shelves! It was time to start screwing the wood to the brackets!

“Dry

Side note: We did end up buying a tool that we did not have. It was VERY difficult to use our normal drill to screw the brackets to the wood because the space between the rows of shelves was so tight. We purchased a right angle drill and that made the job INFINITELY easier! We have lamented on previous projects that a right angle drill would have made our work easier, so we definitely see future uses for this tool!

“Using

“Right

As we progressed, we noticed a problem. Where the two pieces of wood met, they didn’t align after they were screwed to the brackets.

“Wood

“Uneven

After some quick brainstorming, we decided to try simple wood glue to attach the two pieces together, essentially creating one big long piece of wood instead of two separate pieces of wood.  We unscrewed all the screws!

Gluing about 12 feet of wood together was not easy logistically, especially considering our lack of dedicated workspace (like a garage) in our house. But, we ended up rigging together something that worked. We put out two folding tables, and placed the two pieces of wood on the table. The smaller pieces you see sitting on top are just there to weigh the wood down.

“Gluing

Ken put a heavy bead of glue on each seam.

“Gluing

“Gluing

And then we clamped the two pieces together.

“Clamping

“Clamping

We let the glue dry overnight, and since we only had space to glue three shelves at a time, this added several days to the project! But, once we would take off the brackets, the two pieces of wood were firmly bonded!

“Shelves

Once the glue dried, we took a hand sander and sanded off the excess glue.

“Excess

“Sanding

Then we put the shelves back on the brackets, and continued screwing them in. Ken would use the right angle drill to screw from the bottom, and I would place my hand on top of the shelf so that it wouldn’t move while he was screwing the pieces together.

“Screwing

We used these 3/4″ screws to affix the brackets to the wood. (Ken is a huge fan of Robertson screws, also called Square screws, but you can use plain old Phillips screws too).

“Robertson

Before long, all the shelves were attached to the brackets and we had nice clean seams where the two pieces of wood met!

“DVD

“DVD

And there you have it! Our completed DIY DVD Wall Shelves!

“DIY

We added some fun stuff to the shelves like my old Atari (on the top shelf) and Ken’s old Game Cube (in the middle) and Super Nintendo (Top Shelf). There’s a few other things too, like the Atari Controller, a Game Boy, and our Apple TV box (that we don’t use anymore).

In the future, we may consider staining the wood a darker color, or maybe even spray painting the brackets. But, by the time we finally arrived at a solution that worked after our first several failed attempts, we were in a hurry to get the shelves up on the wall! But all the hard work is done now, like the measuring. Removing items one row at a time to stain or spray paint wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

But for now, we love it as-is! Much better than the old store-bought shelves, don’t you think?

Hi. I really like your project, and I’m thinking of doing something similar – I just have one question.

Do you the angle brackets are in the way of the DVD’s?

BR,
Michael.

Do you feel that*

Hi, the brackets we used (link is in the post) are great and don’t interfere with the DVDs at all. They’re not the prettiest brackets in the world, but it doesn’t interfere or block the DVDs like a more decorative bracket with a kind of “crossbrace” normally would. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the answer.
I got another question before I throw myself into it.
How much space do you have between each shelf? 🙂

This sounds like a good idea, however since I can not see any of your pictures “please update your account to allow 3rd party hosting”, I wouldn’t know if it will work for us. Please let me know how I can view your pictures. Thank you.

Gah! Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I’ve fallen to the Photobucket extortion! http://www.csoonline.com/article/3205765/internet/photobucket-replaced-millions-of-images-with-ransom-demand.html

I’m glad I only used Photobucket for hosting photos on just a few of my posts. I’ll try to fix these photos in the next few days.

Hey there, just wondering how this has held up over the years? I’m looking to do the same (it’s a fantastic idea) but am concerned the wood shelves may warp over time. Have you seen any warpage or are they still nice and straight? Thanks!

Reply
Melissa February 4, 2023 - 9:16 pm

They still look great! No warping.
