Reclaimed Armoire Door Book Shelf
I’ve had this reclaimed armoire door book shelf on my to-do list for almost a year. I finally got around to building it.

Easy Build Storage Shelf for the Basement Shop
As I continue to clean and organize the basement shop, storage is a must! Productivity can be impeded by constantly looking for tools and supplies.
