Well yesterday I finished the balance beam for my little gymnast, and today I finished the floating shelves er shelf in one bathroom.
I made the shelf from a hollow core door, ripped in half, stained and mounted on the wall. I ripped down some 2x4 to mount it to the back wall. They dont truly float though, being the trustworthy type I am, I added some small L brackets under neath to support it. The plan was for 2 shelves in here but the wife only wanted one. I think it would look better with two.
The balance beam is made from a 4x4. It has a layer of foam padding on top and is wrapped in carpet. The carpet is glued on all 4 sides and stapled on the bottom. 2x4s cut down to 18 inches were placed 10 inches from the end.
I still need to create shelves in the master bath, but I didnt cut these long enough. I couldnt remember for the life of me why I bought two doors, oh yeah, the other shelves were going to be longer.
