ok so im done. here are the pictures. i couldnt get exactly in front of it so all the pictures look like a 12 year old took them.

the coolest part is here is the before picture going into my office

here is walking in with the new shelf opens up SOOO much room.

im happy with it. I still have to paint the brackets the color of my wall to blend them in a little bit.. all i have to do then is find a music box or a push button music player that plays the tetris theme song and hang it on there

there is a lot of great stuff on instructables on how to do stuff around your home. i was looking to get rid of an old book shelf and found that

oooh... u didnt 45 it either did you... Did you use the same measurements they did? Or adapt your own?

simplegreen · 11-24-2007, 10:50 PM

i used the same measurements but quickly found myself trimming and remeasuring. i still like it the way it is, but if i did it all over again i would deff 45 all my corners

ScrapinSTi · 11-25-2007, 08:12 AM

tryin to decide if i want to use 8" or 10"...

simplegreen · 11-25-2007, 08:19 PM

I still would say use 10" but take a few things into account. A 10" NON SLIDING mitre saw blade with the mitre saw's guide on it will only cut 8" at a time so you'll have to finish the cut with your tablesaw. If you have a sliding mitresaw then you're fine either way.
