About This Project
Three easy-to-build garage storage and organizing projects: a rotating set of shelves that tuck into a corner, a folding perf-board cabinet, and a wall-hung pet-food dispenser.
Materials and Cost
Space shelves according to your storage needs, typically, 8 to 14 in. apart.
Cut all the pieces to size from the cutting diagram. Accurate cuts will result in tight, clean joints. Clamp a straightedge to the plywood to guide your circular saw when making the straight cuts. Use a carbide blade with at least 36 teeth to minimize splintering.
Mark the circle for the plywood bottom. Substitute a narrow strip of 1/4-in. thick wood for the compass arm if you don’t have Peg-Board. Use the bottom as a template to mark the arcs on the quarter-circle shelves. Use a bucket to mark the arcs on the tops of the dividers.
Before assembling the pieces, lay out the shelf locations on the dividers. Make the shelves any height you want, but making them different heights in adjacent sections simplifies the screwing process.
Fasten the shelves to the two narrow dividers first, then set them upright and attach them to the wide center divider.
Tip
Mark the centerline of each shelf on the opposite side of the dividers to help position the screws.
