KMS Woodworks on Sep 30, 2013So you have a built up "plank" that is 8 feet long, 24" wide and 1 1/" thick? The easiest would be to install a cleat on the three sides. this cleat should be at least 3/4" thick ...Ideally 1 1/2". this can be secured to the walls studs with some heavy screws or lags. I built an "office desk nook" for a client like this a few years back. The desk was about 5 1/2 feet long and made from 6/4 maple. 8 feet is a pretty wide spread, to help reduce any sag, you could "edge" the front with a piece of angle iron. This could be mounted with screws counter sunk to give it a bit of a modern industrial look. If you do not want this visible on the front edge you could set it back a few inches from the front.Helpful Reply

Grandmaquilts on Oct 03, 2013Corbels! The are the carved "right angles" that you often see in fine furniture. Pick them up in the Millwork dept at Loew's or get the wrought iron shelf supports. I got mine at Hobby Lobby. For an 8ft run I would use at least 3.Helpful Reply
