EricS Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I spent about 6 hours making four of these brackets and then making the shelves from some 8/4 hickory I have. The wife is happy she finally got her shelves for the stair case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01tundra Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I like them, very cool design! And the most important part........"wife is happy" :D What kind of attachment did you use at the wall? Plastic anchor and screw with a textured head on it? It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Looks nice. I like that riveted style look on things. I wonder about attacking them as well. To me it looks like you used nails, one in the brace, one in the bracket. I'd want the upper fastener to be up higher myself. Down that low there a lot of leverage wanting to pry those off the wall. Down side is I can't see a good way to attach that higher unless the support is added after you mount the bracket so you can get the fastener up closer to the corner. This requires some additional though to work out ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Heavy x-section forgings + rivets = some very cool brackets and design. I approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricS Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 DSW I did make the nails and you are correct there are 2 nails holding it in studs. I knew the application would be to hold only a shallow shelf and few light pictures so I'm not worried about it falling due to weight. The nails secured it quite we'll to the studs. Thanks for the compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I thought that Escher was your architect for your stairs. Nice look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Velcro the pictures upside down to the shelf. That ought to get some comments from visitors! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
