It was horribly weathered and quite warped in spots. I figured out that I could cut it into 12″ wide strips and laminate it into 1″ thick shelves of any length. I used subfloor construction glue (the stuff in the big caulking tubes) to laminate the layers and used 3/4″ drywall screws at the piece ends and plenty of rocks and concrete blocks to flatten the stack while drying. The trick is to overlap the joints between sections in the middle of the piece on the other side. The shelves are really strong and almost free, after a coat of leftover primer and house paint I wouldn’t use on my house.</p> <p>To complete the cheap shelves, I used those folded sheet-metal triple-shelf brackets you used to see at all the big-box home stores years ago. I had to order them online from Ace Hardware, but at a dollar per support, they’re the cheapest thing going, and again, quite strong, even on 32″ centers. Now I have a 6 shelf 1′ wide by 14′ long floor-to-ceiling storage wall in the garage for perhaps 50 bucks.</p> </div> </li> </ol> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond"> <div id="respond"
