Bracket Wall Shelf
If you've ever had trouble aligning shelf brackets to wall studs, you'll appreciate the flexibility in this shelf plan. The design features a long base plate that you'll attach to the wall studs first. Then you can position shelf brackets anywhere you want under the shelf.
It’s easy to customize this project by changing its length or the depth of the shelf. And for a look different from the Craftsman version shown here, we've included plans for a painted Colonial version.
Overall dimensions: 51-1/2" W x 5-1/2" H x 7" D
