DIY Floating Shelves with a Secret - Summary

Summary

The video shows the process of building floating shelves with wireless LED lights for an office renovation. The creator, Brad, uses 3/4" birch plywood to make the shelves and a track saw to cut the pieces. He also uses a table saw to make precise cuts and a digital angle finder to set the blade to 46 degrees. After cutting and assembling the shelves, Brad adds a recess for the LED lights and uses a jig to make the cuts. He then adds a switch and a charging cable to make the LED lights completely wireless and rechargeable. Finally, he installs the shelves and tests the LED lights, which work perfectly.
