How do you DIY Invisible Bracket Shelving?
By evenstarI am in desperate need of shelves but I dont want to have all kinds of brackets showing on my living room walls. You can get ready made shelves that some how hide the means of wall attachment at places like IKEA or what ever. But they are stupidly expensive. They don't sell the invisible brackets on their own.
Does any one handy know how to make this kind of shelving from scratch? Any ideas would be appreciated.

The technique relawson linked too is basically how hubby made a couple of shelves for my office a while back. The instructions say to use pine, but we used good old MDF. The cleat, however was a strip of pine, or maybe oak. Anyway, something that can hold a screw.

I know a method that involves using dowels. I can make a how-to if you'd like.
But, I don't know about the Ikeas in the UK, but in the US, you can get a Lack invisible bracket shelf for $10-15 USD.
