A few pics of the set of shelves that Handyman Gekko just erected in the garage...
Well, since you ask, it's made from 7 x 4.5 cm treated structural pine; the frame for each shelf was screwed together before attaching to the wall with 7.5cm 14G bugle head screws; next, the three vertical supports in front were attached with 6" long 3/8" bolts; and finally, the melamine shelves were screwed into place with 5cm screws.
With a fairly rough costing, the raw materials add up to about $200, which is probably more than I would have paid for an (admittedly much flimsier) made-in-china mdf + metal frame job --- but then I wouldn't have had the fun of making a racket for half the weekend, and where's the fun in that?
