Building Frank Lloyd Wright Shelves
Hi,
Many of the FLW houses have built-in shelves that from the pictures, do not seem to have much in the way of support. I remember reading a magazine article a while ago that described one way to build them - the shelves were built like torsion boxes with the rear part hollow. The upper and lower layers of the torsion box slipped over a horizontal batten that was bolted to the wall. The shelf was then nailed or screwed onto the batten. Could someone who has seen the shelving in houses please comment on how they were constructed? Thanks, Nick |
