Floating shelf with dominos.
This was a first for me on many fronts. I just acquired a Festool domino and thought it would work well for a floating shelf. Also used a very high tech finishing product Clean Armor which completely cures in 2 minutes using a UV light. Truly magical and very impressed with the results.

My buddy tried out this same floating shelf concept a while back, but he used dowels instead. I helped him and we didn't use a drill press so the holes were a little wonky. The festool joiner is fancy! Looks like it came out really well.

I was thinking of building a table/shelf to go behind our couch (like the idea in the photo) — perhaps a floating shelf would work better.

The festool domino allows very precise tenons but you need long dominos for stability. The part screwed into the wall is 3” wide for an 8” shelf using 4” dominos.

@Andre Riopel cool, sounds like you did it the right way. How sturdy is it?
