Back to today's tutorial (3 "T's) good one. Always a fan of the alliteration.
How to build shelves with freecycled wood specifically to hold freecycled copy paper boxes.
1. Roughly lay out what you have to work with, always good when working with freecycled stuff.

Note: I should also mention here that you want to measure the space where the shelves will be going so you don't build them too big. In this case they are going in Superfly and under a window so I had a maximum height measurement to consider.
3. Cut side panels down to height measurement and screw in lateral boards at designated intervals for maximum number of shelves to accommodate the boxes you are storing on the shelves.
4. Screw on a backing support so that the shelves can't sway sideways. I don't remember the name of this structural property but it has something to do with x,y,x axis stuff.

I take those boxes home from work! They are the BEST :-)
