Hello Group, I'm in the process now of building a wall shelf layout in N using steel brackets which are the same as in the previous post. I have 3 corner sections in one room, each corner being 3 ft square using 2-20" brackets and they will support 600 lbs each. I'm using 5/8" D grade fir plywood ripped into 2" strips for the sub-roadbed framework and I doubled it up and placed a flat 3" piece on top of that to form a T section that I used to put between the steel bracket and the framework. That T section is so strong I could drive my 3/4 ton pickup over it and it wouldn't break and seeing as this layout is in a basement environment I needed something that wouldn't be affected by changes in humidity and moisture and plywood is the best way to go for that. I've set my layout height to 48" above the floor and the beauty of the bracket system is there are no obstruction underneath the layout, I can set my office chair to its lowest height and work underneath the layout in comfort. I'm just now starting on the shelf system in the recreation room along a 25ft wall and then at a right angle off that I'll have a yard 13 ft long to store my cars. I'm looking for a resistive soldering unit to solder wire drops onto my track to my main power bus so if anyone out there knows where to get a reasonably priced or used one let me know. I have 125 pieces of flex to solder drops on and I want to make it as painless as possible. Thanks, Bob
