Garage Shelves

[Irving]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here is some shelves I made. nothing fancy... the other side of the storage area is awaiting my Executive safe because I don't own firearms anymore. then, I'm going to build shelves around it and in the area where the water is now. There is stuff in the way now... I'll get it outta there when I can build the other shelves.

Rbeau, love the shelves. I wish I had indoor space to build shelves and put food away on them. What are the dimensions?

7' 3" high
8' long
2' deep
shelves have 10" of vertical space because I wanted to put 2 cases tall of regular cans.

the first shelf is 43" off the ground to accommodate some 5 gallon buckets on a skid. It has 4 upright 2x4's on the sides, the back of the shelves are screwed into the studs, and I built them out from there.

I'm going to do something similar on the right side and the back building one over the water and over a safe on the right.
