Default Do you work with STEEL? Help me with a --RIVETING project for some shelves I'm building . . .

Are you a widow or a widower?


Ha ha, got me. Yup yup I mean widOW. That rattling sound you hear is
my brain trying to dump its rivets lol.

No sir, either this baby is using every available inch or I'm not going
to build it. When you open these closet doors you're going to see
wall-to-wall SHELVING. I'm also seriously thinking about covering the
plywood with sheet metal so that items can slide out of there easier;
but first thing's first. This is an interior closet, as well, so it
will maintain more level temperature for the storage of wine and beer.
I'm really going to have fun with this now that I'm beginning to
visualize it.

I'll report back on how the project is progressing once I've lined up
the shop. It would be good for others who begin looking at clothes
stored in auxilliary closets with something like murder in their eye
and thinking "Ski Suit? I don' need no stinking Ski Suit! Help me put
these 25 lb. bags of RICE somewhere!"

It's amazing how your priorities change as you get old and decrepit
lol.
