    8 ft storage shelf

    When I made the heavy duty shelf brackets for my rotary phase converters I made extras figuring one day on adding a shelf above the work bench my table mill is mounted on
    My friend who hauls so many things in for me is always dropping off materials of some kind figuring I will make use of them
    A while back he dropped off a dozen 15" by 48" pieces of 1/2" OSB. I thought those will make some nice light duty shelves some day
    so I laminated 4 pieces to make a 15" x 8 ft. shelf 1" thick used 4 of the extra brackets in the E track of my machineshop van

    sandwiching the boards between a 4" thick slab of steel and a little over 300 lbs of steel on top does almost as good as 2 dozen clamps
