[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3064514, member: 7248"] I need more room in my shop. I designed my shop with 13' ceilings to house my 2 post truck lift. This being the case, I have lots of potential wall and loft space. I've built some shelves but decide to use some of the available and higher wall space. So the area I'm starting with is a nook at the front of my shop. [ATTACH]111176[/ATTACH] My plans are to build a 96" tall shelf on each sid of the window. The shelf in the left is 12" deep by 27" wide. The right shelf will be 18" deep and 27" wide. Then I will build a loft platform above the window that will be at least 24" deep and 125" wide and have about 5' of storage space above that. I may build shelves above the window or just leave it open, I haven't decided yet. I am using 11 gauge 1.5" for the uprights and platform framing and will use 11 gauge 1" for the lower shelve supports. I may use expanded metal for the shelve material or go with 3/4" plywood, I haven't nailed that down either. I picked up the material this morning so I hope to start welding today or tomorrow.
