Shelves
Final look. All four shelves hanging and the sports cards displayed on them.
Wood pieces, glue, screws for the L brackets and the wall hangers, wall hangers, and L brackets laid out on the table
I ended up using screws to secure the wall hangers instead of the appoxy but I wasn't sure at the start of this project
Assembling the pieces using wood glue to add extra security and using clamps to hold things together until it all dried. Small L bracket was placed on the back one on each side holding the back and bottom securely for extra support.
The L brackets and all sides of the wood pieces were painted. They are dry to the touch but need 24 hours to fully cure.
Painted shelves curred for 24 hours. Ready for the wall hanger to be put on the back and hung.
Shelves hanging on the wall. These shelves didn't need to be big or heavy duty as they were only holding Sports cards. I need the shelves to fit between two doors and be flush to the wall. They turned out so great I decided to.make one more since there was the space for it.
Here's the blank wall that I wanted to shelves to go to display some of the sports cards I own
Showing all 4 shelves up with nothing on the bottom shelf yet.
