Floating shelves for the flags

[Chet]

I made a couple of floating shelves for the flag cases I recently completed.  I was going to use some brakets that Kev had recommended but saw the article in the recent Fine Woodworking Magazine (issue 277) about making a floating shelf and thought I would try it.  I spent $16 dollars on four  "L" brackets and $6 dollars on rattle can paint.  The wood was 1/4 birch ply and poplar from previous projects.

I love 'em, Chet! One day, I hope to make such a nice case for my grandpa's flag.

That project from FWM is on my list also. Looks like a nice and simple project and will make nice Christmas gifts.
