It's Easy To Build
More Shelf Space
i- -1
More shelf space is the best
answer to the where-to-put-it
problem in the majority of homes.
Fortunately, anyone who can
handle the ordinary hand tools
can build a set of shelves. It’s a
good beginner’s project for the
inexperienced home handyman.
Lumber dealers can usually
supply 34-inch pine shelving in
stock lengths of 8, 10 or 12 feet,
and in 8, 10 or 12-inch widths.
You can put the boards together
with finishing nails, but you will
get stronger joints with screws.
For a workmanlike job, counter
sink nails with a nail set; or set
screws in shallow, drilled holes.
Fill in over the heads of nails or
screws with Plastic Wood. Use
the Plastic Wood again to fill any
cracks or gouges.
Build the filler up a bit higher
than the board surface. When it
has hardened, sand it flush and
smooth. At the same time, give
the boards an over-all sanding
with medium-fine sandpaper. Fol
low with a wash coat of shellac,
diluted half and half with dena
tured alcohol. When dry, smooth
lightly with fine steel wool. Fin
ish with an enamel undercoat and
a final coat of enamel.
