The video is about building easy-to-install floating shelves with wireless LED lights. Brad from FTBT starts by cutting three-quarter-inch birch plywood into the required parts using a track saw and table saw. He uses a digital angle finder to ensure accurate bevel cuts. After cutting the parts, Brad assembles the shelves using mitered joints and strong tape. However, the first attempt at assembly fails due to the wrong type of tape being used. He then switches to filament tape, which works better.
Next, Brad works on the LED lighting, using a wireless LED strip with a remote control. He compares two different types of LED strips, one with 80 LEDs per five meters and another with 300 LEDs per five meters. The latter has a more even light distribution and better color accuracy.
Brad then creates a jig to make a recess for the aluminum U-channel that will hold the LED strip. He uses the jig to cut channels in the shelves and adds holes for the LED connectors. After cleaning up the shelves, Brad applies a few layers of clear coat to finish them.
To make the mounting cleats for the shelves, Brad uses offcuts from the plywood and assembles them. He then adds a switch and a charging cable to the LED setup, allowing it to be rechargeable and wireless.
Finally, Brad installs the shelves and LED lighting, and they work as expected. The video ends with a call to action to check out the rest of the office makeover playlist and to subscribe to the channel.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The project involves building floating shelves with wireless LED lights.
2. The shelves are made from 3/4 inch birch plywood.
3. The plywood sheets are large enough to yield two shelves each.
4. The shelves have a bevel cut on the sides and a mitered joint.
5. The bevel cut is set at 46 degrees to create a tight outside corner.
6. The shelves have a 10-inch depth to maximize the use of plywood.
7. The project uses a track saw and a table saw for cutting the plywood.
8. A digital angle finder is used to set the blade angle on the table saw.
9. The shelves are assembled using glue and tape.
10. Filament tape is used to hold the shelves together during assembly.
11. The LED lights are wireless and powered by a USB battery pack.
12. The LED lights have a remote control and can be controlled using RF frequency.
13. The project uses a switch to turn the LED lights on and off.
14. A charging cable is used to recharge the battery.
15. The shelves have a cleat system for mounting to the wall.
16. The cleats are made from off-cut plywood and are double-thick for added strength.
17. The project uses a card scraper to remove excess glue and a clear coat to finish the shelves.
18. The LED lights are installed in a channel cut into the shelves.
19. The channel is made from aluminum U-channel and is flush with the surface of the shelves.
20. The project is part of an office renovation and makeover.
