Help with building custom shelfs.
Hi all,
I am new here and looking for some help. I am building a new home towards the end of the year (My first owned home :) ) and it the house it has what's going to be a "Man cave" that my wife has allowed me to have :).
Basically I want to build a huge display cabinet as such at the end of the room for my "Movie memorabilia". It would take up the whole wall. I am rather new to wood working and have only done small gift boxes before and some other stuff so any help would be very appreciated.
My idea is to get my builders to bring out the wall a little bit at the end basically making an enclosure I guess you could say with the idea to just slide some flat timber in to make the shelfs. I would use a router to make grooves the length of it to put in some rails and use large sheets of acryllic for sliding doors.
I have attached diagrams below to give an idea. My question is what would be the best way to build these shelfs? I originally was just going to put some brackets into the wall with timber sheeet screwed in but wasn't sure that would be strong enough to hold everything. Now I am thinking maybe make a large rectangle to fit in the space off pine planks with MDF sheet on top and bottom.
Any ideas?
