very amazing shelf! That looks like a ton of work. Is it hollow with a false front? Also, how did you attach it to the wall?

Thank you for sharing! I love projects like this

Cool design. Must have been a challenge to keep it strait with all those mitres.

I have a very flat assembly table that I set everything up on.The back of the shelf has a 1.5” cavity that holds a full length ledger plate made of 1” plywood. This ledger zigs and zag with the shelf. The ledger is a couple of thousands narrower in the vertical plane so the shelf will slip onto it when it is on the wall. I made the vertical sections of the ledger 1/4” narrower then the cavity. this allows for side to side movement The ledger was made in place with pocket screws and glue. I then screwed a piece of 1/4” plywood to the ledger and extracted it from the back cavity. This plywood piece held the registration for the whole ledger. I then flushcut routed around the ledger in several places(kind of like little window so I could accurately mark the position of the ledger on the wall without losing the registration. Leveled everything and marked it position on the wall. Sank 2.5” screws through the ledger into the studs. Took the ledger off the wall and then removed the plywood. Reinstalled the ledger and put the shelf up for scribing to the wall on the end of the shelf. The vertical pieces of the ledger are undersized enough to have movement of 1/4” so I could scribe and still remount the shelf without having to move the ledger again. Scribed for back wall and the attached the whole thing to the ledger with some countersunk #4 brass screws . Very strong, I think a kid could hang on it

Just a thought- Maybe a radius on the outside corners to give more of an organic feel, and blend more with the clay art. Not that I’m any kind of artist.

unique and cool ,well done
