Shelves have been taking up most of my time in shop.  I completed the prototype and have installed it in the closet. The shelves are made from melamine board.  I used this because the melamine has a nice finish for a shelf, requires no painting and was about half the price of plywood.  It cuts just like plywood but is a bit heaver.  The only problem I have with it is that the edges chip easily and it’s to damage it when handling.  On the good side, no painting and doing the edge banding was a snap.

The bits and pieces for doing the edging. And that’s my iron, not my wife’s.

The shop iron putting on the edge banding.

Not pulled out.

It pulls out!

That’s it for this week.  Next weekend I have nine more to do to finish the closet.

If you need me – I’ll be in the shop.
