Thanks, yeah I've sunk the majority of the screws so they wouldn't get caught on anything I slid across the shelves. I hired a skip to throw a lot of rubbish i didn't need but I still have a few boxes worth of stuff I need to get rid off. I've tripped countless times getting this shelving up lol...

Thanks for the tips. Need to get a router to sort the edges as I'm keen on seeing how it'd look. I decided to go for osb for the side shelving and for the work desk I went for sheathing ply. Spent the part of yesterday and all of today putting the sheeting in. I found it very cumbersome and...

I'm leaning more towards plywood even though its slighty more expensive. But osb is still on the board. The concrete screws I got were supposedly self drilling with no pilot needed but that wasn't the case I did exactly what you said but reinserted the screw after drilling through the wood and...

So little update today. I'm nearly there. Fixed half of the shelf and now have the smaller side shelves left to secure on the far end. Had some pita issues with these concrete screws not drilling into the wall so had to pilot some on and it became messy, didn't help that the render was very...

Thanks man, I'm kinda scared trying mortise on a big project (for me) so i might just stick with butt joints for this project. However, i do plan to make a seperate work table and some more furniture and storage solutions for the garage later down the line which will allow me to work on...

Hi all, long time occassional lurker and finally i've decided to create an account to get some advice/input on a design i'm working on for my garage. I've currently taken the week off to de-clutter my garage and create a storage solution at the back as well as a work bench for when i need to...
