I've started a little Whiskey collection. I noticed my friends also enjoy having a few bottles of liquor in their house, so I decided to make a nice little shelf to display them! Enjoy!

Step 1: Watch the Video

Step 2: Get Your Supplies

You will need some nice looking wood. I used old reclaimed Fir 2x6.
Battery operated LED lights. I purchased mine off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00USNOG4A/ref=o...
1/2" Steel Pipe for shelf brackets
Two 5" pipes
Four 6" pipes
Six floor flanges
Two Tee pipes
Stain or Danish Oil
Screws for mounting and putting together
Optional Polyurethane (I did not use Poly)

Step 3: Cut Your Shelves

Cut two pieces for the shelves at 30" long
Remember to measure twice and cut once!
Look at your wood and decide what surfaces you want to be shown

Step 4: LED Cut Out

Find the center of the board you wish to use as top shelf
Decide if you want the cut-out facing the ceiling or underneath (I chose underneath, shouldn't matter since it's not very visible at eye height
Set depth of saw blade to length of LED light housing (The drill will get it the rest of the way. This is for hiding the LEDs/wires)
Cut along center line starting 2" from either edge of the board

Step 5: Drill LED Holes

Match drill bit to width of LED tip
Drill one hole 2" from end all the way through (this is to anchor LED's while you decide placement)
Decide what lights face upwards and downwards
Upward lights get drilled all the way through
Downward lights get drilled enough to set in wood flush (again this is your preference for how you want it to look)

Step 6: Cut Powerbank Wire

Trace a line from end of first LED hole to back corner of shelf
Cut with same depth on circular saw
This will be hidden on the back of shelf but accessible to turn power on/off
Clean center groove out with another pass on the circular saw with same depth

Step 7: Sand It Down

Clean up your cuts/drill holes by giving it a good sand
The reclaimed wood looked really cool and came to life after sanding
Normal 2x6 will look nice with some stain

Step 8: Stain

Stain or Oil
I used a Danish Oil with a Medium Walnut finish
Looking good!

Step 9: Glue LED Lights

Grab your glue gun
Set your LED lights as you want them to be (upwards vs downwards)
Tuck your LED wire into groove and glue it all up
Take your time as this has the potential to be visible and you want it to look good!

Step 10: Hide Power Supply

Start by spray painting your power supply black to camouflage it
Measure out power supply for cut-out in wood to hide it on back edge
Use drill to make it easy to chisel
Chisel out wood to size of power bank for ultimate camouflage
Hot glue power bank in your cut-out

Step 11: Prepare Bottom Shelf

Sand second piece of 2x6
Stain it
This will be your bottom shelf

Step 12: Shelf Placement

Mark studs using a stud finder
Visualize your shelf placement for maximum deliciousness

Step 13: Pipe Brackets

Assemble your pipe brackets (shelf supports)
Start with floor flange threaded into 6" pipe
Then thread the Tee pipe
Thread another 6" pipe and floor flange into Tee
Tee pipe receives the 5" pipe and floor flange
Mount your first pipe shelf bracket
Level the second bracket prior to mounting
Remember your studs will depict where your pipe brackets are mounted (drywall is not strong enough!)

Step 14: Mount Wood Shelves

Make sure the pipe brackets are vertical using your level
Screw top and bottom shelves right to the front-facing edges (grab a friend to help you)
Make sure its solid and your done!
