Another Saturday, Another Load of 2x4s

This week, we made a work bench and a set of shelves for the other side of the garage.

Fairly basic work bench, 16" deep shelf below with a backstop,
work surface made of 2 layers of 3/4" plywood laminated together
with Elmer's carpentry glue and a lot of screws.
You may note the considerably cluttered garage area behind it,
which is where the shelves are going.
Actually, Stephanie had already done a lot of clearing away
stuff to get it this good...

Hooray! Now we can see the east wall!

The cleats installed along the east wall

Vertical supports and top plate added

Horizontal supports and south wall cleats done

Shelves (3/4" plywood) cut, notched,
and installed with glue and screws

A few custom-sized spaces now occupied...

A bit more stuff to add to complete the
organizing of the garage, but this
is a nice step in the right direction.
