I decided that with my incoming shipment of a stash's worth of paint, I would need a proper place to store the things that wasnt inside of a window sill shelf I built last March for them to be heated by the sun and chilled by the night. So I went about putting together something to hold my Tamiya, Vallejo, Badger, AK Interactive and other miscellaneous products in one spot.
I used some leftover poplar 1x2's to construct this paint shelf.....I sheared (2) 24" pieces and (6) 36" pieces from the leftovers of an office construct project over a year ago. I stripped some keyhole fasteners from two old plaques that were getting thrown away and routed out some pocketswith my Dremel to install them. 1.5" Wood Screws were used and the joints were reinforced with Titebond III heavy duty wood glue. Remember to pre-drill and countersink all of your hardware to prevent splitting !!!!
This way can be set on a workbench surface
This orientation can be ung on a wall like a typical shelf.
Now, what color should it be painted or should I just urethane it and leave the natural finish ???
* I just went on Lowes website and priced out how much it would cost to put this together if it were to be paid for and with the Wood coming to $15.75 ( you can have it pre cut at the store ) , te screws at $5 for a box of 50, glue at $3 and i'm assuming most would stain the job at another $6 the whole thing can be done for ~$30.....since most have all of these supplies at the ready, I could say that it would cost ~$15 just for the wood *
