I had this slab of walnut that I wanted to turn into a floating shelf. I could have bought the hardware, but decided to try my hand at making my own. Since I don't own a welder, I came up with a way to make it mechanically. The total cost per bracket was less than $5! They worked out great! I was going to add set screws to the bottom of the shelf to lock it onto the brackets, but there was so much friction putting them on that I decided to leave them out and have a flawless surface. I can always add them later if I find the shelf coming loose.
