DIY Shelves Made from Scaffolding Boards for free

In this Video I have built a couple shelves for our kitchen out of scaffolding board and brackets out of steel DIY.
1. first I sanded and prepped the boards for Varnishing, already had cut to size by my local Scaffolding company which cost me £0.
2. I then Varnished them with a Natural Oak Varnish that I picked up from B&M
3. made some steel brackets out of some straight bar I found in the garage. cut to size and bent into position
4. Painted brackets Gloss Blank
5. hung the shelves and kept the misses happy
you can do this yourself using very little tools all I used was a sander (in the end grinder with sanding disk on), circular saw (but can use hack saw), Hammer (of course), Wire brush, paint brush and a Drill.
I hope you enjoyed my Video and if you have any suggestions on what I should build next comment below :)

I know all too well how long it takes to sand a used scaffold board my friend ;-) especially with a detail sander! For future projects, I'd recommend getting yourself an electric planer! and perhaps replace "mousey" for an orbital sander. This is what diy is all about though imo, trial and error, a quick run to the DIY shop and most important...having fun! (and keeping the missus happy of coarse) Good job.

Cracking video, a little bit of planning, the right tools and a little bit of ingenuity along the way! Looks good!

Lovely Jubilee bud.. I was tasked by the boss (wife) to make a large rustic shelf and coat rack from scaffolding boards to go in our hall to put all her handbags on.

Yeh think I might need to do that not happy with these ones 😂

I bought fresh pine scaffolding boards and bought brackets also lol. Have yet to start the project as it's just been so cold. Question: Do I have to use a clear sealer before varnishing the boards. The reason why I ask is because the pine boards are fresh

@@TheMalcolms7 I put 5 coats of boiled linseed oil then a clear satin varnish - I’m really happy with the look 👍🏻

[@TheMalcolms7]

@@Andy_Wills I figured that I would need to put something on it before I use a dark stain. Just wasn't sure in what to use. Nobody at the hardware store had a clue either 😅
