Title: Some Simple Shelves To Display Work On
Post by: countryscroller on July 02, 2013, 01:52:03 pm: I made the same concept of shelves out of whiteboard for a customer that wanted some and I liked how they turned out, so I made me a couple. Each one is made out of a 1"x12"x4' I got the wood for about $7 each and sold each shelf for $15. Does that sound reasonable? I would make double profit. Anyway this is what I used mine for to display the work that can't hang up in my room.

Thanks, I screwed them into studs. The weight on them isn't much at all either. They should be fine... at least I hope. If they end up needing more support, I know the guy that made them and can get them done right quick :)

As for the price, it's not too bad. Maybe 20$ each would be a better price. Depends on how much time it took you to make them.

Post by: Keefie on July 07, 2013, 05:00:56 am: great looking shelves, and some very nice work on them too. I'm not sure the shelves will sag in the middle as you have put a backer board along the whole length, which is supporting the shelf section. Just my thought on it.
