I like your design better with the inset legs. Gives it a cleaner, un-interrupted appearance.

Nothing like custom furniture. Looks like the perfect fit. Great job.

Nice work, thanks for the post.

-- A hammer dangling from a wall will bang and sound like work when the wind blows the right way.

Thanks for the comments guys, it was actually a pretty fun build. It wasn’t tricky by any means, I ended up just working most things out on Google Sketchup first to give me all of the measurements and once I cut the parts and laid out all those measurements I was able to go to town.

nice work

Very nice shelving…

by the way… your shop looks too clean… are you sure you made these shelves there? ... LOL

dustyal –
nice one…yeah the ‘too clean’ look is something that needs to happen quite often since my wife’s car sleeps there at night. it gets plenty dirty during projects, but i promptly clean it up to keep things nice, and so i don’t track things in as well.

Nice job. I have the same table as yours. My table top cracked in 3 places.
has yours cracked yet? how long have you had yours?
i think mine cracked because i left it in the truck in near zero weather overnight and took it inside the next morning and put it together right away should have left it in the box and let it warm up to room temp. then put the legs on in the afternoon? We kept it anyway we liked how it looked in our dinning room? Any way nice job.

They fit the space perfectly and look great. Very nice build.

Great looking shelves! I’ve been thinking of building a similar set and adding a desk unit between the two, sorta like Crate & Barrel. It looks like the shelves touch the wall (vs. just the top of the “ladder”). Did you do that on purpose? Did you fasten the tops to the wall or put anti-skid pads on the bottom?

Please do post pictures of the jig if you don’t mind. I was going to use this design: http://www.rd.com/advice-and-know-how/17514/article17514.html
