FEATURE PROJECT in margin at right. When determining the length of the stretcher, keep in mind that it has to allow the hanging brackets to fit between two uprights. I cut the stretcher 27Vg" long and then screwed it to the supports, see Fig. 11a. shelf. Now you're ready to add the shelf (MM), see Fig. 12. It's a piece of %" plywood trimmed with strips of solid wood edging (NN) on the front and ends, see Fig. 12b. After mitering each strip to length, it's glued flush with the top of the shelf. Chamfering the top and bottom edges of the strips will help prevent them from chipping. attach shelf. The last step is to attach the shelf to the supports. What works well here is to first hang the brackets on the grid. After centering the shelf on the supports, position it so it's set in 1" from the back edge of the hanger block, see Fig. 12a. Then screw it in place.

SUPPORT (1W X1OV2"' plywoop) Shelves_One of the things we wanted to include in this wall storage system was a number of deep shelves. The shelf shown here is 12" deep — deep enough to hold paint cans, jigs, or toolboxes. Note: If you plan on hanging a shelf next to the tool cabinet, you'll want to make that shelf (and its supports) narrower to allow the cabinet door to swing open. This is marked on the pattern shown below. supports. Like the work table, each shelf is held up by two plywood supports (KK), see Fig. 11 and pattern bi As before, these ports fit in gro cut in the ha blocks. But this I found that the short hanging brackets are all that are needed to hang the shelf securely on the grid. stretcher. After attaching the supports with glue and screws, the next step is to add a single stretcher (LL).
