garage shelf magazine article

[jbridge337]

I am having a hard time trying to remember where I saw a project involving garage storage. The main thing I remember about the project was that the shelf supports consisted of two boards (2x4 perhaps) with a triangular shaped rib from plywood forming a sort of I beam type structure. From what I remember the article was in the last 3 years but I can't recall the magazine I saw it in and I haven't had any luck with google or searches of some of the magazine websites. I am hoping that this brief description is enough to trigger someone's memory.

Thanks,

Jim

This was modified from a FWW article. Hasn't failed yet:

thanks garage_woodworks, but that's not quite what I am looking for.

Look at it again. It's the same thing.

[jbridge337]

do you have the issue month and year so I can check out the article?

Thanks,

Jim

I could be mistaken, but from your description it sounds like this one in FWW #181.

I modified it replacing the plywood braces with 2X4 braces that are screwed and glued.

this is not the one you are referring than I'm sorry I can't help.

No sweat. Good luck with the search.

Jim:

I can't remember what it was either, but try Family Handyman as well as Wood, Woodworker's Journal, or ShopNotes. The on-line indexes might help.

Was this strictly wood storage or general garage storage?

general garage storage and with the triangular rib, they weren't designed to be more than 1 high. I don't recall it the space under the shelf between the "rib" was used for anything. I seem to remember it being in one of the hi gloss pubs. , so not ShopNotes. I have tried the on-line indexes and searches without luck. I don't know that woodworker's journal was one I tried. My inclination was it was Family Handyman but I didn't see anything on there site that matched so I will probably wander the stacks in the library today and hope they have print copies from over a year ago.

I did an issue by issue search and finally found it.

all for the help. Looks like a great project although a little more costly then what I had remembered.

A September 2005 Handyman magazine article may be what you are after.
