Today in the shop "Yet another shelf"

It still needs a bottom and casters but pretty near done.

This one is for my collection of Plano Plastics "small tackle" boxes. No tackle in them but plenty of other good stuff. The shelf can hold 26 boxes and it will be full, already have that many boxes and maybe a few more....

Weather permitting I should be moving it in tomorrow and filling it up.

Little boxes on the driveway,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the driveway,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a gray one
And a blue one and a red one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

Good thing they are all labeled.

Do they all fit? Why yes they do.

In place and filled now, just a few things to move back after the clearing of a path to get it in place. Have two boxes(not shown) that don't have a place, oh well you can only go so high and I reached that limit.

Another great storage solution, Ed. I am sure that it fits with your needs quite well.

It would not work for me however, I wouldn't be able to read the six lower tier boxes unless I got down on the floor and probably not the four upper tier boxes. I certainly would not be able to remember where everything is at. This means that I would loose track of about half of what I have scattered around.

Then there is this problem of getting up off of the floor.

One can never be sure but I think you could read all the label. You may have trouble getting down to the lower ones(and back up) but the way I have arranged them is to have the least used items on the bottom and top with the most used in the middle.

The letter might look small in the pictures but they are just shy of 1/4" tall:

Yes. Back on that project too. To bad I can't remember where I stuck some of the parts...... that is going to slow me down.

Now I can't get that song out of my head. I'm hearing the Pete Seeger version! Good project.
