How He Builds Shelves Between Studs In His Farm Shop

How He Builds Shelves Between Studs In His Farm Shop BUILDINGS Miscellaneous The picture and brief blurb you ran in a recent issue Vol 41 No 3 about how I build shelves between studs in my farm shop left out key information Building shelves like this is not a new idea But the way I did it was new In the past when I built shelves between studs I installed individual support blocks under each shelf This made it difficult to make neat level shelving This time I cut plywood into a bunch of 3 1/2-in wide strips 7 3/4 in long the distance I wanted between shelves Then starting at the floor I nailed a strip to the stud on each side and then placed the first shelf – also cut from plywood – over the top Then I nailed two more pieces of plywood to each side pushing them down tightly to hold the shelf in place and then laid a shelf piece on top of them I continued this process up to the top of the wall Works great and looks very neat Herman Kiefer Sault Ste Marie Ontario Canada
