--- Quote from: FritzWhite on March 16, 2018, 01:50:06 AM --- White shelves look nicer than black for some reason. Setup looks bright and happy. --- End quote --- Thanks. Yeah, the white looks better than I thought it would have. I originally wanted black shelves, but I'm really happy with these. The setup will look brighter and happier when I upgrade the lighting down here and finish up the rest of the basement project. I'm still planning to start around spring and finish before the end of summer. |

Wow, those shelves look Amazing! Thats one mint collection! Yeah, the white looks so much better than black or brown. Wish I had the space to store my collection like that. Mine are all stuck behind wardrobes. I dont even know what I have anymore ;o( |

Before, most of my games were on regular bookshelves, and due to space constraints, I had two "layers" of games on one shelf. I was able to prop the back layer up a little higher so you could see it, but ultimately, if you wanted a game from the back, you had to move the games in the front. It technically worked, but I never liked the way it looked. These obviously take up a little more space, but when the basement is done, the there will be plenty of room for them. |

--- Quote from: TDIRunner on March 15, 2018, 10:08:26 PM ---I was able to get the 3rd shelf home yesterday, but I couldn't get it into the basement until tonight. I've practically built a wall in my basement with these things at 12' wide by 7' tall. If I could fine one more I could get my entire collection up onto these things. It actually be awesome to fine two more to also include all of my movies as well. --- End quote --- They look great! The good thing is that they're a really basic design. So if you really needed more but couldn't find any, reproducing them from scratch wouldn't at all be tricky. |

Everything could be cut out of 7 different 8' boards, plus one 4x8 sheet. The only complicated part would be replicating the way the shelves sort of "curve" from the bottom to the top. Not sure how else to describe that, but you can sort of see it in the bottom picture. I assume this design was to help people view the movies/games on the bottom shelf easier. It looks good, but will complicate the building process. I've also considered buying the white laminate shelving boards that they sell at the hardware store so that I wouldn't have to finish it when I'm done building it. The only part I'm not sure about is ripping those boards with a table saw without damaging the laminate. I assume there is a specific saw blade for that, but I need to research it further. I would love to build 3 more so that in total, I would have 4 for games, and 2 for movies and music. |
