Thread: Wall mounted storage 2

Hi All,

I've just experimented and knocked something up that may give you a few ideas. I've got hardly any tools so if you have a half decent workshop you could do this in a few hours. Using a screwdriver for a chisel etc...

The points I've noted:-

1. Use thicker wood for the cutouts.
2. Use thinner wood for the actual shelf.
3. Allow for some extra wide slots at the top for custom razors that are fatter at the butt end.
4. The bottom slots only need to be approx 4mm to allow for the tangs to go through. Tops ones vary depending if you have some customs.

Feel free to copy anything and if you make an exact replica then your work is crap.

Gary

nice work.

Thanks LX,

the real version or should I say better made version will be very nice, but this will do until the wekend. Just getting a feel for the sizes, dimensions etc..

Gary

Thirteen spaces for the razors, eh? I hope that case isn't cursed!

But seriously, it looks good.

Nice piece of work.

That's super, Gary. If I had a bunch of razors, I'd need one of those. Guess I'll start collecting.

That's a very neat idea. Great work there Gary.

I'm doing the updated modifications soon. I'll change the grooved bits for stronger stuff and make it all out of the same wood. NZ rimu.

Thanks for your kind words and comments, I now have encouragement to spruce it up somewhat.

For those of you that want to give this a go I've sketched up a drawing for you.

I use parallel slots for the tangs about 4mm wide and "V" slots at the top for the scales about 10mm wide. This can vary if you have fat scales but I've found most sizes rest comfortably. Not shown is thin rubber padding for the centre of the scales to rest on.

Check distance from end of tang to your cupboard base and also if your cupboard doors are fitted on the inside of the frame allow space for when the doors close (I found out the hard way).

NOTE: None of this is to any scale but it should be helpfull.

Cheers

Gary

The shelf came out nice even without tools. I see you don't procrastinate and jump right into trying out an idea. Way to go!
