Picked up some nice old pine for the shelves - real 2 x 12s. off to find some nice looking brackets next. I travel a lot so this will be a slow progress thread.

You've identified one of the more basic, but serious, problems of a heavy duty or industrial style of shelving - the weight. The combined weight of the shelving, shelf supports and items to be displayed on the shelves usually mean you'll need some kind of upright supports (which I managed to avoid in my Boom Room). Going overboard with brackets can be a help but, if all the wall mounted shelf supports are too close together (to be able to take a great weight) then there's a risk of horizontal cracks running along the drill holes.Katsa said:traveling now and the brackets I thought that looked cool only suppport 30 pounds or one vz2000 so I'm off to look for more brackets that are metal and have an industrial look like the ones below. Ideas welcome.
Any update with this storm and your Boomers?Katsa said:Will take a look thanks! Have to get ready for the hurricane that is coming my way

I moved!
The walls were 3 foot thick of solid stone so I could make as much noise as I liked and no one was bothered lol. Current house is pretty good for getting away with being loud too tho.Rimmer36 said:but i bet the bass was good si lol....what id give for a house like that instead of this council crap i live in hahaTry living in a 150 year old stone built cottage where the walls are all uneven and random sized bits of stone so hard you can't drill into 90% of them...now that's a nightmare lol
