Strange shelves

Nice work! I have both the Kreg master pockethole jig and a biscuit joiner! If I could only have one
it would be the Kreg master pockethole jig! Hands down!!! I think I use my pocket hole jig
20 times to 1 time biscuit joiner.

I love the design. My choice is the pocket hole jig. I have the kreg rocket pocket and I love it.

That seems like a lot of weight on the outside edges for 2 bolts. Is their some sort of cantilever arm in the design that we can’t see? Have a pic of the underside?

If all he plans on putting on this is poster boards or paper, I don’t think the weight is going to be an issue.

Go for the Kreg tool …you won’t be sorry : ) I bought both the Kreg tool and a Biscuit Joiner at the same time …the BJ is still in its unopened box ! Nice shelving unit . You mentioned “mobile”....is it on wheels ?

Seems to be unanimous. The Kreg tool has made my life so much easier and I use it way more than my biscuit joiner.

I echo The Caver on the concern about load bearing. As a sign-maker, I can attest that a 100 ft. roll of wide format paper has more heft than one might think, and printable scrim vinyl is even worse. A whole shelf-load riding two bolts applied to the edges or ends of sheet goods would concern me even with the trim. Torsion box maybe…

Thanks for the comments. The bolts are 1/4 inch but what doesn’t show is that the rail around each shelft is 2”x2” with a rabbeted edge for each sheet of plywood to sit into. Because of the rabbit it looks like the edging is about a half inch. the rabbet is very wide. Everything is glued and screwed.

leaning on one side takes a quite a bit of weight in my estimation and the posters will be distributed across the entire shelf. I considered placing a brace vertically along the back side of the shelves but determined that it probably won’t be needed.

And yes Dusty, it has large 4” revolving casters. It moves easily with the swing of one arm. The bigger the wheels the better. I learned that from some of my tools being on small wheels and others being on larger ones.

Will buy tools for work .That’s the way to go. If you shelves don’t hold up you can always add some braces.

Thanks Daniel..I was wondering what size you used on it. Have a great weekend : )

I would agree with all the previous posts, the Kreg pocket hole system is great. I bought the small portable set first, and as soon as it was available at my local Lowes, I bought the bigger unit.

This is a great looking unit, and well done for getting paid for your work!! Good job.
