Black Pipe To Create Floating Shelves - Is This The Best Approach?

I have wanted to try using black pipe to build a shelf support structure but have never had a good reason to do it until now. In this video I'm installing ½” black pipe in my office to create some major storage space. It's an interesting process to work through and different from any other type of floating shelf support idea I have ever tried. While I'm happy with the outcome and glad I have done it, it's still a tough call but I still think I prefer building floating shelves using all thread rods installed into the studs over the pipe approach. In this video I use a 3D environment to experiment with other options that I chose not to use.
