continued from ‘solid furniture‘
i wish the tiny little tasks didn’t take so long to get around to, but i got my leveling feet on the model and also came up with an idea for some ‘backing’ for the shelves. i figure the very basic wire rope holds true to the old-school-overbuilt-industrial theme. it wasn’t that long ago when workers walked on high rise girders with less fall protection. i think my books should be just fine.
there are a couple things i need to do before building. i obviously need to build my bill of materials list and collect all the materials and hardware, but i also need to start thinking about how i’m going to weld the angle iron shelf supports to the legs. to be exact and symmetric, i’m thinking a jig is in order. it would be cool to have an adjustable jig made out of steel and a few fasteners, but i think i got a bunch of 2″ x 4″ offcuts and 1/2″ plywood kicking around that’ll do the trick.
