Some storage shelves for the shed
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
The shed build has been been going very well so far, my back is improving heaps and I've been able to do a tonne of work. I had intended purchasing a compactus from gumtree to use for storage of tools, equipment and timber. Luckily, at work we had a heap of massive static frequency converters delivered in large timber framed boxes, this was supplied by contractors. They were offered to everyone at work, I thought I could use them as storage cabinets. These wooden boxes being free weren't ideal but certainly a lot cheaper than buying the compactus for about $800-1000 on gumtree. I grabbed three of them, they measure 2 m tall, 1200 wide and 900 ml deep. Luckily, I also have a friend who owns a skip bin business, he said there were some Benchtops that I might be able to use for shelving. I went to have a look at them they were almost brand-new sheets of MDF fibreboard I grabbed five. 👍
I bought some 50 x 75 pine boards and used these to support the shelves. Then I had my daughter paint the internals and externals just to brighten up a little bit and make things easier to see within the shelves as well as a more appealing appearance. I then assembled them and placed them in position around the workshop and screwed and glued them together. They appear to be remarkably robust I still have a heap of stuff to bring down to the workshop, at least now I've got a lot more storage area and I can start getting organised. Hopefully, I'll get 5 to 10 years worth out of them, they don't look the best but they are cheap and will do the job for the time being. 🙈
Now that I have some storage area, I can start organising the workshop. The next job will be to manufacture a workbench. 🔧🔩🔨
Cheers,
Willy
