I found a shelf on this website several months ago and decided to copy it.

I cut the parts form 3/4 plywood that I had in the basement. The side strips I ripped from a 2x4 into 1/2 thick pieces.

I screwed the vertical pieces to the base with #8 flat head screws. 1 1/2 long. The sides were attached with finishing nails. Everything was glued before the fasteners were attached.

The wood was stained with a Walnut wiping stain. The shelf supports were attached from the back with #8 flat head 1 1/2 inch screws. The bulkhead is 1/2 plastic coated plywood (original equipment)

The Power strip is 20 amp with a fifteen inch cord. It is attached using #8 flat head machine screws with SS nylon lock nuts.
