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.

Small Shelves for Small Spaces
.
Bathrooms are often the rooms that need the most storage spaces and have the least. If you have children then there are the added bathtoys to consider and the toilet roll is always on top fo the toilet.
Now you can build a small toilet paper shelf to solve that problem without having to have a lot of space. the great thing about this little shelf is that it will fit almost anywhere and creates another area for you to put more of your nick nacks on.
You can also paint the shelf to fit into the overall color scheme of your bathroom or leave it with a wood finish for a more natural look.

Why Plans Are So Important
.
Building shelves may sound simple, but let me tell you, many a man has fallen on his face with such a project that should be simple and lands up getting the better of him. I didn’t want to have that happen to me and although I didn’t have to look very far to find the right plans for the job, I was really glad that I had them.
So, where did I get the plans, well I bought them in a collection of plans for just $50. There were thousands of different plans in the collection and amoungst them were more than 60 different shelves plans, ideas and tips.
What was really great about the collection was that it also included a whole lot of woodworking help guides. It helped with choosing the kind of wood wor the project, what wood glue was going to be best as well as what type of finish would be best suited

Storage Shelves – What To Consider!
.
Building a storage shelf was the first project. We needed something that was flush with the wall as the storeroom would be getting wood and other building equipment in it regularly. When you think of building storage shelves, you have to take into consideration how much weight is going to be placed on the shelves to ensure that they can handle the job.
The problem with building something so skinny is that often they just aren’t sturdy. I was really pleased with how easy it was to build and how solid the end product was.
What also made it great was that with the plans came a list of all the tools I would need on the project…
.
• Circular or hand saw
• Drill
• 1⁄4( drill bit (long enough to go
through
a 2 x 4)
• Hammer
• Adjustable wrench
• 2* level
• 6( bar clamp (optional)
• Safety glasses
As you can see, these are the kind of tools that most people who are contemplating building shelves would have in their woodworking shop. Even if you didn’t have them, you could definatley buy them cheaply from your hardware store . The other great thing was that the plans were really easy to understand and some even mentioned what level of experience or expertise you would need.
Alongside in the sidebar is a video of the inside of the members area of this woodworking download. It will show you all the kinds of plans that are included and is a great way to see for yourself before you decide to buy. The purchase comes with a money back guarantee so if you are not perfectly happy with the product, you can get your money back.
