I build an entire wall wood Shelving and Counter for my soldering and small parts drawers. The top shelf holds my larger maker items such as motors and computer parts. Under the counter is my server and amplifier racks. I made the left side into my kitchen area and my bookcase under that.
I start with getting some wood
Measure and cut.
All the plywood is cut
Now the 2×4 are cut to length (8′ long pieces are cut to 5′ and 3′ pieces for the shelves.)
The plywood now has been routed on all sides. Then I sanded all the wood.
Now to stain and seal
Lots of pieces.
It was a lot of wood!
The countertop
The counter is installed.
Started placing items on the counter before I even finished building it!
I made sure every shelf was level Left to right.
I also made it level in the other direction.
I added a light under the top shelf.
These are the 3′ wide shelves, I made it into my kitchen area.
Here is the entire shelving area done.
To tie the shelves to the 2×10 boards I used for the 4 main legs, I used Shelf brackets (Amazon) for stability and also used 2x large screws into the 2×10 boards through the 2×4 under shelf beams to secure them. The plywood shelves were screwed into the 2×4 beams.
