I built this on the same design as my other shelves for my braces and hand drills. Unfortunately I did not think about taking much pictures about the construction.
Gluing up the last pieces |
For this one I added some support that will rest on the workbench below. The shelf itself is quite heavy but with the addition of all the plane weight I thought it was preferable to have this resting of some surface instead of putting all the strength on the wall, even if screwed in the inner studs.
At the end this is the final result.
Final setup. |

The shelves are built around my screen and this is where vintage classic tools meet with technology. I find a screen to be a very convenient tool to display a schema or plan of your project. It is easy to take a take a picture of your plan with your phone if you draw it on paper, share your phone screen to the TV screen and you have a big size display board.
Now onto my net project. I need to build a bathroom vanity for my master bedroom. For this I came up with something that will schematically look like that:
First draft |
The top will receive the vessel sink and faucet. Pretty simple and straightforward looking but this is the kind of design I like the most.
The sink is ordered and I will wait to receive it before starting any more detailed plan so to check for correct sizing.
I love it. The shop is looking sharp there Lionel.
ReplyDeleteGood idea about the TV screen in the shop. For years I used a blackboard and now a white board. when I replace the TV upstairs, ill bring the 32 in downstairs in my shop...or her gymn. Hum, may have to buy another :-)
There is a 50 plasma in my man cave but its a tad too big for the shop. What size is that one, 32 in ??

Thank you Bob! That TV screen is 40 inches, this is far enough for the need and does not take too much space on the wall.
DeleteLionel, watching the snow pilling up out there.
Lionel,

Neat? Nah! It is just that I always take pictures from the same angle to hide the mess on the other corner :)
