I recently built a large shelving system for tubs in my garage using only 2x4s. Here is a link to my YouTube video showing exactly how it’s done, followed by a written summary of the process. This is the sturdiest and simplest method I have come up with for adding storage to your garage. If you can cut a 2×4… read entire post

Posts that have to do with shelves.
Twisty Little Shelves
Several years ago, my friend Guy Hutchinson mentioned that he had a small set of shelves near the entrance of his mancave. The shelves weren’t large enough to display a large collection of items, and so he used it to display small collections or subsets of collections. He said he had a lot of fun rotating the items he displayed… read entire post
Lunchbox Shelves
Since moving into my new home office, Susan has been nudging me to unpack my lunchbox collection and put them back out on display. I enjoy looking at my old lunchboxes, and we agree that having them stowed out in the garage inside moving boxes (where they’ve been for two years now) isn’t bringing anyone any joy. A few weekends… read entire post
Cheater Spacer Shelves
During this week’s furlough, I decided to tackle a few projects around the house that I’ve been putting off for far too long. One of those projects involved creating a pair of “spacer shelves” for our upstairs entertainment center.
The built-in entertainment in our upstairs den is really nice, but the shelves are way too tall. Take a look at… read entire post
LoveThyShelf.com Consolodated into Robohara.com
Whenever I begin a new project I like to write a “mission statement” for the purpose of setting the scope of the project. Likewise, whenever I end a project, I like to document that as well. This posts marks the end of a project: LoveThyShelf.com. I registered LoveThyShelf.com back in 2011. The following is from my initial post on that… read entire post
Cheap Shelves
The following shelves, created by Digital Press forum member PSony, utilize a combination of track/brackets and metal L-shaped brackets for support.
The white track/brackets, L-shaped brackets, and white laminate wood can all be found at most home improvement locations. While PSony uses his shelves for video games, these could obviously be adjusted to store just about anything.… read entire post
Letter Shelves
Practical? Maybe. Awesome? Definitely. Letter-shaped shelves! I think these would be super-awesome if they spelled out what was on the shelves, like “DVDS” and “MOVIES” and “CHILDREN’S SKULLS” …

My Little Pony Collection Shelves
So, what’s a lady with one of the largest collections of My Little Ponies to do? Add a collection of My Little Shelves, that’s what! Amy has one of the largest My Little Pony collections around, and a sampling of off-the-shelf shelves looks like the perfect way to display her collection. Nice job, Amy! Thanks to husband John for the… read entire post
TV Shelves
Last week was “Big Trash Pickup” day in our neighborhood and I saw at least half a dozen CRT televisions sitting out by the curb as garbage. I should have picked them up and built a set of these.
It doesn’t look like they would store a lot, but they’ll sure hold more than a flat panel television.… read entire post
White Boxes
At first glance, the shelves in the picture below look just like normal shelves:
They’re not. They’re actually individual boxes, stacked up.
The selling point? If you ever move you can just pick up your boxes and go. The downside, other than the fact that big boxes full of books are heavy, is that these boxes are $40/each. That means… read entire post
