Gym Project: Shelf

I am installing a shelf in the home gym that will hold a blu ray player and surround sound amplifier. In previous articles I installed an electrical outlet and ran all the low voltage (speaker, etc) wire.

Now it is time to hang the shelf. The first step was to measure the size I needed for the shelf and mark a piece of shelf board.

The cut is too big for my miter saw. This is a perfect job for a circular saw.

Next, I added some metal brackets to give the shelf some strength.

Once the metal brackets were done, the shelf board was added.

And now the shelf is hung

Next is to hang some speakers and wire up the surround sound amplifier.
