How to Make & Install Floating Shelves in a Tiny House Rustic Kitchen, DIY Log Cabin, Macaroni

I carve wood dowels and cut pine planks from free wood to make and install floating shelves in the tiny house kitchen at the log cabin, another off grid, rustic DIY project. Using hand tools, I whittle pegs from ash firewood logs and hammer them into holes I drilled in the log walls and pine planks using a brace and bit. The holes are 5/8“ and 4 inches deep on both ends. The pine planks are 2“ thick, which I used an Alaskan chainsaw mill to cut from red pine logs that I cut down at my friend’s property last spring. At the beginning of the video, my dog, Cali, and I hike across the beaver meadow and down the frozen stream to gather balsam fir logs that Joe and I cut last March. I bring a couple of bundles back to the cabin to use for trimming the windows and the benches in the cabin. The remaining logs will be used to make chairs for the fireside as well as for building materials for the workshop, sugar shack, root cellar or woodshed.
