About This Video

A DIY custom cinder block shelf build in 59 seconds. If your walls are brick, concrete, or cinder block, it's fundamentally the same technique: use Tapcon. 5/16 inch driver, 1/4 by 1 and 1/4 inch Tapcon with the hex head. Mark one hole, find the center, hammer drill, drive it in tight so it stays on its own, level, mark the other holes, drill, drive all four loosely, then tighten all the way home. Anchored into concrete or brick or cinder block, these things are VERY strong. The cinder block is Van's favorite building material for the same reason he drives a Land Cruiser: it's honest about what it is.
