Built around your shop
- 16" or 24" studs, with an upright on every stud or every other one
- As many uprights and arms as your wall takes
- How long the uprights are and how high they start
- How deep and tall the arms are
How it goes together
- Cut the plywood sides on the diagonal: one rectangle makes two.
- Screw each arm together: a block laid flat between two sides, flush at the top and front.
- Fasten each upright flat to a stud, plumb.
- Slide the arms over the uprights, level with their neighbors, and screw them on.
The plan has every step written against the part letters in its cut list, with drawings of each part that has joinery.
