New Shelves For The Pantry

I've started to kit out my dream pantry.


First job is to make up some shelves. These need to be heavy duty and look nice. I decided against buying adjustable shelves as I've never been that impressed and they don't have the right look for what I'm going for.

I made these from 3x2 cls which is about the cheapest timber you can buy but still looks okay when you rub the sander over it a few times. The base of the shelves is 18mm ply which sits in a rebate. Hopefully this should never move or flex no matter how much I store on it!

The video above shows what I made and how I did it. If you watch it please let me know what you think. I've made a few more bits since then and I'm pleased with how the room is shaping up!

    1. The workshop has taken a long time to get like that. I'm so obsessed with tools!

  2. Excellent shelves. Shaping the legs so the shelves fit flush against the wall is brilliant. You could never do that with purchased shelves. A good pantry is priceless.
