Making a "few" shelf brackets for the workshop:

[MattH]

Whilst the CNC's are running in the background today I will mostly be making shelving brackets:

Lol, only because i'm still putting the workshop together.

Although I am actually sweeping up today!

 

[MattH]

All the bits cut and drilled now.

Finished prepping all the material this morning:



Tacked all the brackets together in groups of 6:

Bit more welding to do and I need to attach the mounting tabs.
And then time to start get the shelves up.

Going to paint or leave 'raw'?

 

[MattH]

I think I’ll give them a once over with a rattle can.

Finished welding up all the brackets today. Just need to get a lick of paint on them (bought some Red Oxide primer). And then i can get some heavy duty shelves up.

Diagonal brace in a different position on one set of six?

 

[MattH]

They’re going up, I have about 32’ done with another 24’ waiting to go up.
4 fixings per bracket into stonework, one bracket every 2’. 18mm 12lam ply for the shelves themselves.
Should take whatever weight I see fit to put up there (very heavy lathe and milling accessories).

Diagonal brace in a different position on one set of six?

Yes, by about 1/2”. Only noticed after I tackled them up. They are only for heavy duty shelves in my metal shop so it doesn’t matter beyond poking everyone’s OCD.

They are intentionally different to avoid resonance issues and subsequent vibration induced stress failures.
