Book Shelf Ledges

I'm not ashamed to say we've had the wood to make these for months. Sometimes you just get busy and projects get pushed way down on the list. It's toats fine.

So you've probably seen these just aboot everywhere, but that's because they're super simple, super inexpensive, and super functional.

I'm talking about book shelf ledges - I'm constructing mine with 1x4 and 1x2 pieces of wood - since I'm making four 2ft long ones, we got 16 ft of the 1x4, and 8 ft of the 1x2. And because I'm lazy, we got the already-primed stuff.

 
So here's where the four ledges are going on the wall. I'm a little nervous as R gets older it will look like a ladder to him, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Here are two of them assembled - I only have so many clamps so I could only have two setting at a time. 

 

For all the projects I've done, I really am not that experienced yet with my nail gun since I usually use screws for most things, so a couple of mishaps may or may not have taken place. 

 

Nothing a pair of snips can't fix, right?
