Leveling the first shelf took the longest, but the rest of these pre-built shelves went up relatively quickly after that.IMG_0169.JPG
I built a jig to ensure that the lag bolts would be evenly spaced.

A coat of green paint to match the rest of The Lucky Garage

I added aluminum roofing flashing to increase durability and it also makes sliding the wood over the supports much easier.

Wood rack completed and loaded with reclaimed lumber from a barn that we tore down.

The shelves in the work area were measured specifically to allow my Dewalt tough boxes to open freely

The lockers were free on the side of the road and had obviously come from an old machine shop.

It took me nearly 20hrs to refurbish them and I recorded a good portion of it.

I built a base to keep the lockers off the ground and filled the gap using Great Stuff to keep anything from rolling under them.IMG_0929.JPG

The lockers were a bit too tall for some everyday items I wanted to store in them, so I started building additional shelves every 13"

The 90degree adapter was a lifesaver because the drill wouldn't fit inside the locker.

I posted a video showing how I took the lockers from trash on the side of the road, to being a garage centerpiece.

Like the shop, nice job on the shelving. I was not able to get the video to work. It says the video is not available. Not a big deal, just saying.
