Rick wanted a floating shelf for his front hall and here's what he did with the Lack.
He says, "I wanted a floating shelf for my front hall but needed something pretty shallow since it's a fairly small space. The Lack wall shelf has that nice mounting hardware for making easy installation ... ah but it needed hacking.
I purchased the small Lack shelf (that's 43 /14 wide x 10 1/4 deep) and went to Home Depot and had them cut the depth to 5 inches for $5.00 (I don't own a table saw). Then I got some pine and with a jigsaw, cut the curved side pieces and front lip to give a thicker look. I then veneered it all with mahogany which was applied with contact cement."

Hi, did you also cut the back mounting bracket (if so, does this still work well?), or did you use something else to mount?
Thanks
