0.000 HBDBUILDING A SLAB SHELF
# LEFTOVER "DEBRIS" REPURPOSED!!! ## Part of creating our own lumber to build our house is the creation of some debris. None of it really amounts to much, but one of the things that are left are slabs of wood. I had mentioned in a [previous post](https://steemit.com/homestead/@johndoer123/homestead-work-continues-gathering-stones-and-dirt-fill) that I was planning I'm building a shelf from the leftover slab of my first log I milled.  ## ...and here I am holding it right after cutting it. # WHAT I NEEDED TO BUILD MY SHELF ## It really didn't take much, instead of list everything I'll show you a picture. But I forgot to put the screws in the picture, I did need screws.  ## First I cut my little board piece onto some triangle shaped support brackets. I did this with my sawzall.  * It kind of reminded my of a square version of Pac-Man. ## Anyway, I made a total of three of these to support the 8 foot long board. I also predrilled the mounting holes to prevent splitting when I attach everything together with screws.  ## After this I attached them to the bottom side of the shelf. I predrilled the holes through the shelf as well for the same reason I did the brackets.  # Then, while standing on the back of my couch teetering to protect my life from falling, I put the shelf agains the wall. Using a level to ensure that it was...well level, I then installed the brackets to the wall using screws.  # THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!! ## This was a pretty easy job that gave a slab of scrap wood a new home and us a beautiful 8 foot shelf. I hope you enjoyed and thanks for coming along.
