Whether you’re in need of more storage in your kitchen or want to install a library for your books a wine box shelf may be a good (and cheap) solution.
Joe and I have needed more storage in our make-shift kitchen for some time. Pots, pans, and plates can be found stacked on our desks or our washing machine with no real home until now. We’re still arguing on who’s original idea this was (because we think it’s a good one) but ultimately we collaborated to create this inexpensive and fun shelf. We both think this works well in a kitchen or could be a fun shelf for a children’s bedroom or living room.
We found the boxes at Scrap SF. They were $3 each. Joe tells me the fasteners were about .30 cents each and we used an ikea steel bar that we had already owned (I think they cost about $7). In all, this is an extremely cheap shelf to make and I saw Joe put it together in about an hour or less. I’ll get more details from him tonight on exact production if you’re interested in making on for yourself. The total cost was under $20!
Let us know what you think!
Very cool! Seems like a great thing to build in my garage to organize gardening stuff, tools etc. BTW, when did Joe get his arm transplanted with a race horse leg and is there any guarantee my arm will get all ripped if i build these things:

Ha! I went for the race horse leg pic instead of the unbald-friendly one. Figured he like this one better. And no we cannot make any guarantees that your arm will get ripped (for legal reasons) but you never know…
p.s. desk post coming today.
Oh, I love it! Nice work you guys.
What a great idea…Can you supply further info on the production details..mechanically challendged people like me need to have things spelled out step-by-step
let me persuade my husband to give up the info. i’ll see what i can get out of him tonight.
