Finally! After 2 days of hard work, my console shelf is completed!I've been planning on making this shelf for some time now. I knew it would take a few solid days of work so I wanted to get this done while i was on staycation. The last 2 staycations i had I either procrastinated or to was just too lazy to get it done. Enough was enough, i had to get it done and i'm very glad i took the initiative.
Some of you may know i purchased 3 bookshelves from Borders when they went out of business. They are built to be tilted back against the wall. Each one is 8ft x 3ft. The way my game room is set up i couldn't put them all side by side because of the window. I always had kind of an awkward gap between the two shelves under the window so i thought it would be perfect to put my consoles there. The video cords go to one of 3 system switchers i have. Each row's power cords with go to their own power strip. The cords from the switch box run behind the shelf to the tv.
The shelf is 3 ft high and 5 ft wide, 12" deep at the base and 10" deep at the top. It sits flush with the adjacent shelves.
Just put together everything in the garage.
Fits like a glove!
Consoles on the shelf. I have some cases on the shelves for now until i make the wood dividers.
I'm unsure if i want to have dividers between each system or just split down the middle.
There is a 1 1/2" piece of wood across the back of each shelf to help prevent bowing.
I deserved this ...
As always, let me know what you think!
