Craft Space Planning and Progress

I got my stamp shelving up. I bought two 10' lengths of 1" x 4"manufactured wood and cut them to 40" pieces or 6 shelves. Then I sanded and painted them. I've seen them with molding attached to the front of the shelf, but I know me, and the project wouldn't get done. I used angle brackets, not shelf brackets to attach them to the wall. Shelf brackets are too large.To get the shelves evenly spaced, I hung two and then made a jig out of a scrap of bookboard that fit exactly between the two shelves. I used it instead of a ruler, but I still double checked with my level. While it might look as if the shelves are hanging in the middle of nothing, my L shaped work table will fit underneath them and they will be behind me and to my right when I'm working. I'll sit facing the window, with work surface in front and to my right.

I've been thinking carefully about the rest of my layout and storage. I have a workspace that isn't laid out well for the way that I work. I did my best, but ended up fitting what I had into the space that I had and making the best of it. This time, I hope to plan ahead, find things that will work together, and solve the problems I discovered in my current workspace. My goal is to solve these problems without spending heaps of money.
