The first place to start is a rough drawing. Determine
the height and width of your compartments, and remember that the shelf
standards will have supports to hold the shelves. Make sure these supports
don't get in the way of your plans. Also, tilt your shelves a bit to keep
things from flying out while your on the road! i tilted these shelves at
15 degrees. |
The standards, like the one above, are the depth and height
of the finished unit. Each standard has 1X1s stapled to support the shelves.
The end standards have supports on one side only, the inside standard have
supports on both sides. To make all the standards the same, I made one,
then used it as a pattern to make the rest.
 |
Now to start assembling the shelf, I rip a bunch of 1x1s
to 48" long. Then I staple one of these 1/2" from the edge. I use construction
adhesive on all joints, this unit will get allot of abuse, from workmen
and bouncing along the hiways. After the 1x1 is secured, take one of the
standards, glue up the edge and staple it to the support. Make sure you
use a framing square to keep the unit pcs square. |
 |
To help speed up the spacing of the standards, I use
a shelf to measure the distance to the next 48" support. Remember construction
adhesive and staples or screws.
