Shelf Plans – Finding The Right Ones

During my renovation project I have had to complete a lot of diy projects.  Although I initially bought this download to get the shed and bed plans, Luci, my wife has since been inundating me with other diy projects.  The shelves that I built for the kitchen and bathroom were fantastic and just having access to all the information I’d need has made my diy projects so much easier.

Some of the best information that I got out of the download really wasn’t about the plans themselves, but rather the huge amount of ideas that the download has in it.  In the shelf section of the diy guide, I found a help file that showed how you should go about deciding which storage and shelf structures are going to be best.  It included locating storage shelves and cupbaords in redundant pace, like under the stairs or under the sink in the bathroom.  Even space like under the bed and in an old fireplace that you would otherwise have blocked off.

There was also loads of information on how to work with a variety of different woods and the information that was really useful to me was how to work with reclaimed and renovated wood.  Wood stripping, filler and finishes were covered in detail.   If this  information wasn’t in the download, I probably would have had to buy a book specifically for it, which would have cost me more money.  Now I have everything I need for any woodworking and diy project right on my computer.

Here is a video on the shelf plan section of the members area.  It might help you to decide if this is for you.  In the sidebar you will find a video of the whole download area and all the rest of the files you will find there.

Shelving Plans – Contemporary Shelving Plans

Contemporary Designs that Work in Different Rooms

.

.There are so many great contemporary designs to choose from in the woodworking download but this is great one for both bathrooms and bedrooms.  They are ideal for both children and adults rooms alike and are easy to build.

You may decide that you would prefer something a little more rustic, or classic and the designs and patterns in the download will not disappoint.

What makes this download area really great is that it offers information not just on woodworking and shelf building, but on all carpentry from which wood is right for each project all the way to what finish would be best for your woodworking effort.

Included in the guide is a collection of woodworking guides and tips which will help you to decide which woodworking tools you should have and what you will need to get the jobs done.

This means that you will know first hand what you need and where to get the very best, saving you money and stress.

Bedroom Shelves – Headboard Shelving Ideas

Sometimes having enough space in the bedroom is difficult and placing your shelves around the headboard is the best option.  The best design that I found for a storage headboard is this one.

Headboard Storage ShelvesWhile this might look like a complicated project with shelves as well as draws, it really is less complicated than it looks.  It does however, require a bit more expertise than some of the other projects and will also require having a decent set of tools.

Besides offering a lot of information on what materials you should use and how to keep your costs down, this plan also includes a list of the tools you will need, so I’ll include that here too.

Tools for the Job
