Let's start with column A at the far right. Grab 2 of your 48" pickets and stack them together lengthwise, like a closed hot dog bun. We are now going to start marking where our horizontal shelves are going between 2 of our vertical pickets. Lowe's or Home Depot may rent out similar equipment also.Ĥ. Find a family member or friend that may have access to these tools and see if you can either borrow them or rent them for a short time. ![]() Luckily, my father-in-law has a pretty extensive workshop and provide me access to his saw, nail gun, & air compressor. Note: I do not own all of these tools personally. Twelve 1/2 inch Washers ~$1.25 for pack of 25.Six Wood Screws (2 inches) ~$6 for pack of 25.Six Wood Screws (1 inch) ~$1 for pack of 18.Two 1.5 inch Steel Zinc-Plated Corner Braces ~$2.75 for pack of 4. ![]() Two 5 inch Steel Zinc-Plated Corner Braces ~$3 each.If you plan to mount the shelving unit, you will also need the following: 1-5/8 inch Interior Wood Screws ~$6.50 for 1 lb.Eight 6 ft Cedar Wood Fence Pickets ~$2.75 each (should only need 7).Let's get to it!Īll materials needed can be purchased at your local Lowe's, Home Depot, or similar hardware store. If you are a maker yourself, I don't have to tell you how much more you appreciate something when you put the planning, time, and struggle into building something yourself. I'm going to walk you through the materials, tools, and steps required to make this same mug shelf so you can display your handmade collection inside it's own work of art. The result is the image you see above that holds 35 pieces of varying sizes and shapes to make one hell of an interesting wall piece! A boring shelving unit can cheapen the contents inside it, so I decided to use my planning, design, and woodworking skills to come up with something that didn't cost too much. I'm not looking to spend $200+ on a cool shelving display that isn't just some cookie cutter laminate shelving unit or adding a few horizontal shelves to the wall. As my wife and I outgrew our kitchen cabinets, we thought of ways to display our selection of handmade cups and mugs that would require less effort than ripping out our cabinets and replacing them with an open shelving concept.Īnother thing about me that you may or may not know, I am a cheap ass. Personally, it sounds like what you currently have is ideal for your room, unless you feel the mid- and upper bass from the M16 is lacking.If you are a handmade pottery collector like me, I run out of cabinet space quickly as my collection grows. Even high-passed due to the use of a sub, the bass output above the crossover frequency might still be prodigious enough to not sound right in a smaller room. Presumably the tower speaker would be designed to sound “correct” in a larger room, so the same speaker in small room may well end up sounding “bass heavy.” That may be the “overwhelm” factor you heard about. The main difference between the bookshelf and tower will be bass output. Assuming an identical driver array (except for additional low frequency drivers), imaging wouldn’t change much, if at all, with a bookshelf vs. Stereo imaging is a function of the speaker’s design. Rooms with wall-to-wall carpet, heavy drapes and large over-stuffed furniture - not so much. Rooms with large glass windows, cinderblock walls and ceramic tile floors will have lots of reflections. It’s a function of how “live” or “dead” the room itself is. ![]() Room reflections aren’t going to change much, if at all, with any speaker.
