   Here are couple of shots of my downstairs shop. Got

   another "hammer-n-tongs" shop in the garage. Right

   next to the downstairs shop is the office with all

   the computers, printers, copy machine, and closet

   that houses the telephone and CAT5 networking hardware.

   The second photo illustrates and experiment that I'm

   going to refine this summer. The shelves are low cost

   products from Sam's.  The bins are plastic "shoe boxes"

   available about everywhere for about $1. I can't build

   a robust drawer/bin for a buck.



   The arrangement you see in the picture is not space

   efficient but it validated the idea. This summer, I'm

   going to have a grandson join me for a few days of

   making piles of sawdust (table saw is in upstairs shop)

   to build shelves specifically fitted to the shoe-box

   bins. My trusty AutoCAD drawing tells me that we'll

   fit 190 bins into the wall space presently occupied

   by the storage in the photo. I'll publish a picture

   of the finished project.



   If this works as planned, it will be repeated at

   work if and when I get the IR&D facility project launched.

   Does anyone else have examples of storage management

   solutions for that valuable junque?

    She has her 'turf' too. One of the bedrooms upstairs is

    where she exercises here gray matter. Some of the telephone

    and CAT5 cables route up there. And then there's

    the yards. Seems like I rototill a bit more grass every

    year to make room for more gardens. Plotting current

    trends out into the future says we'll eliminate the

    need for a mower by the year 2011.

Many big companies, and a few middle sized ones (that are in the process

of failing) have a 'clean desk' policy. They say that our desks (and

workspaces) are reflections of our minds, to which I say EXACTLY.   



Would we rather have a cluttered, messy desk with a lot of substance or

an clean, organized desk devoid of content. Many companies and

individuals value the latter, though there are not as many as there used

to be, since a lot of them are out of business.  Nonetheless, it can be

said that they were very neat and orderly as they went bankrupt.

hi all,

 an easy, quick,  and fairly cheap way to build shelving goes like this; 

both ends of plywood shelves are supported by a ''ladder like'' thing you 

can build out of 2x4's. one of these ladders must be firmly anchored to a 

wall or something. the other ladder should at least be anchored top or 

bottom. now put in your shelves , lying on the ''rungs'' of the ladders. the 

shelves are about as stiff as wet noodles like this. here's the time and 

money saver; cut pieces of 2x4 or even 2x2 the length of the distance 

between shelves. start on the floor and slip the pieces of 2x4 between the 

shelves going up and keeping each piece over the one below it. as many as 

needed to keep your shelves stiff. this is by far the most brainlessly easy 

way to make strong shelves. i have rows of them in the storage end of my 

basement.  bob noffs

 Good Evening Bob,

  

 Any dimensions on the thickness of the plywood, quality used  and placement of the braces? 

  

 Any photos available?

  

 Happy  Skies,

 Bob,

 I built storage space above the garage doors that has proven to be useful.  I planned it around 4x8 sheets of plywood and it is very sturdy.  As my storage needs diminish, my wife is making good use of the shelves.  Photos are at the bottom of this page http://www.rv-8a.net/thebeginning.htm.  I have a broken link on the large photos, so if anyone wants more detailed photos, contact me off the list.

hi bob s.

  the plywood could be waferboard, i would go 5/8''. the end braces are  2x4. the ''rungs'' i screwed in place for strength. the uprights need only be  2x2 and take up so little room  just put them as often as needed to prevent  sag. always start on the floor and keep each 2x2 above the one below it. i make  shelves 8 foot long. put the 2x2's in as often as needed, depending on the load.  anchoring one or both ladders is the key to the shelfs stability.

                                                                           maybe i can take a few pics in the next few days. your address?

                                                                                       bob noffs
