Howdy...a quick question for those smarter than I (ok, that's most of you....!)
I want to put up a floating shelf. Hoping to use 3/4" maple plywood, with hardwood on the edges (perhaps 3/4" or so).
What I'm envisioning is:
- hardwood on 3 sides, with a plywood edge against the wall.
- 1/2" hardwood cleat attached to the wall
- 1/2" routed recess in the plywood to accept the cleat
- shelf would be 10" deep by 18" long
- Very little weight on shelf (holding Wireless Blu-ray player on wall below flat screen TV)
Does this sound feasible? Metal studs in wall, but with such little weight I was actually thinking of drywall anchors.
Your thoughts?
