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.
