This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.
Who couldn't use shelves? Let's make some!
There are myriad ways to build sturdy, simple shelves. YouTube has many videos of different methods so pick one that fits your needs. A 6' span is nothing to sneeze at so build it sturdily. Be extra careful if it is intended for canning jars, earthquake prone areas or for use near kids who like to climb.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- custom sized for a need
- 8 to 24 inches deep
- made with dimensional lumber (no plywood, osb, etc)
- screws with clearance holes
- at least two shelves high
- at least six feet wide
- possibly free standing, possibly attached to an existing wall
To document completion of the BB, provide photos or
video (<2 min) of the following:
- Several times during construction
- The finished shelving. Close
enough to see the materials and general assembly.
