DIY HOTWHEELS SHELF

I know I'm not the only one who finds the daily task of picking up my son's hotwheel cars and trucks seems like a merry-go-round I never asked to ride. Pick up cars, he throws cars all over room, pick up cars, and you see the cycle goes round and round. 

Total project cost= approximately 18$

What You will need:

Lumbar, used here 5 pieces (1in x 4in x 8ft )  

Skill saw

Sand Paper

Paint               (50%off clearance shelf)

Brad Nailer     (optional)

Tape measure

Steps:

•    Measure and Purchase!

•  Measure again then CUT. I had specific requirements. I needed those  Monster Truck Hotwheels to also fit besides the regular hotwheel cars.  -3 inches between each board. 

•  MARK with a pencil on the boards where each shelf will go. 

 Tip: begin with the side boards. 

 NAIL boards together. Begin with your middle board. I did get advice from an actual contractor on this project who said secure the middle shelf first then move outward. He said that way your not left with uneven looking shelves if the measuring is off. I took his advice. 

 SAND & PAINT

Bonus step for added support if needed:

 Because I had so many shelves (9) I needed a brace on the back of my shelf. I simply used the left over wood and measured and cut a piece of wood to run vertically behind the shelf for more support.
