   Cork, can't help you with the book, but The Sagulator below will help you with matching weight load with shelf distance and thickness:

   FG,

   You little gem, I lost the link to the sagulator after my HD hit the dust.  Have been looking in vain for it for a couple of weeks & I was about to post a request on Knots. 

   Thanks a ton

   Don

   Don, so glad I could help.  Here's a hint for the future (or present, if you lost all your bookmarks):  GOOGLE!!!! http://www.google.com  It'll find stuff like that faster than any other search engine.  I have the Google toolbar at the top of my browser, so don't even have to go to their site when seeking a reference.

   Condolences on your dead HD.  Knock-on-oak-desk, I've not had that happen...yet!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)

   Hey there Forestgirl,

   Thanks for the links. The first one worked good and gave me some more leads. I'll order it and keep searching for more info.

   I was up visiting with sister-in-law (Nancy) and we will just keep getting more and more info for the adjustable wall mounted shelves with cubby holes, bins, etc.. and when we feel good about our knowledge base we'll build them.

   In the mean time her hubby (my brother Dave) needs his deck fixed. We pulled up a couple of 1" x 6" planks and checked out underneath. Nice PT lumber in good shape for beams, but the surface planks had been spaced to closely together, and therefor held water and have started to rot. This coming weekend we'll pull them up, pull a few strings, and use PLS5, shim if need be and resurface with new PT lumber.

   So anyway we've still got a project to work on till we're ready for the shelf project.

      Thanks a bunch Forestgirl,

      Cork in Chicago

   Cork, good to know you won't have "idle hands" getting you in trouble before shelf-building time!  (BTW, that was one link, the composition box split it into 2 I guess).

   Have fun with the deck. We need to do ours, but it'll involve replacing alot of the support beams too, yuck.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)
