Garage Shelves

Sometimes a little hassle finding right size sq or torx drive screws, but worth it.


Shelves look good, should last forever.

This was under $4 at Home Depot! Not even worth it apparently. Who sells the BEST phillips head bits? I'm tired of breaking them already. Pretty much everything I've purchased branded as HDX (Home Depot cheapo brand) sucks balls.



Seriously, thank you everyone that helped me out with this. Special thanks to T-Giv for all the wood, of which I still have quite a bit.

That's a single phase 220/240. Highly unlikely you or any home owner has 3 phase , which is found in commercial settings.

Boulder County requires 3 phase residential 50amp outlets, even though there is no 3 phase in res. areas.

Galvanized self piercing screws cost a little more but are way better than phillips/square head screws.

I know a few people with 3-phase at their homes. I guess 220 was what I meant. That's still what yoy would run a welder off of right?

I was thinking about the hex head screws, but since I'd want them flush it would require a rather large counter sink to fit the driver bit in the hole. Not impossible, just more work.

These can be found @ Home Depot usually 1/3 the way down screw/fastener aisle, very good multi purpose screw. I have used 1000's of them.

Yes, you could run welder, dryer, oven/range etc off that outlet. Match circuit breaker and outlet to equipment. Verify wire/line is also heavy enough for what ever equip you want to power.

When I get home tonight, I'm going to flip the breaker off before I relocate it. Where do I put the leads on my meter, and what setting should the meter be on, to make sure the power is off and I don't kill myself?

Awesome Thread Irving! I'm doing something similar in my basement in a storage room.

Thanks. Jump right in!

I'll post pictures soon, I am awaiting my "executive safe install" since I don't have any guns anymore, to finish building the rest.
