I'm also in the business of carpentry and am well aware of the money, time, and expertise that go into doing this type of professional work. With that being said, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and time youput into giving those that have never done this type of work and maybe cannot afford to pay someone else to do it HOPE. If you can follow directions, you can do this. Thank you for your very needed video. Blessings and much success to you.

@pargolf3158 Жыл бұрын
Just a couple of comments. 1. If you don't have a pick-up, you can get Home Depot/Lowes etc. to cut the shelves for you when you purchase the MDF sheet. 2. If you are cutting the 4X8 sheet yourself, keep in mind after you cut the first three 12 inch shelves, the fourth shelf (the left over piece) will be 12 inches minus 3x the thickness of the saw blade. So if you want 4 equal shelves, you have to determine the thickness of the blade then multiply that by 3 and subtract the result from 48 inches. Then you can divide by 4 and use that as your measurement to cut each piece.

You'll have to attach them to the wall using L brackets or screw a 2x2 to the wall and then attach to the 2x2. There are other ways, but it will require a much stronger attachment method if the weight isn't being transmitted through the floor.

Great video, but two things I don't get: • You say that shelves longer than 3 feet should have center supports-but your side shelves look about 5 feet, and have no supports? • How do you attach the shelves where they meet at the corner, so that the front of the one that doesn't go clear across is supported? Is there any way to do that without adding a bracket or brace, which would be very awkward in such a confined space? I've searched the web for clues about this, but there's surprisingly little help.
