<p>[QUOTE="jays-dad, post: 992568, member: 26881"]I'm lucky enough to have my own "office" at home (spare bedroom). However, my wife insists that it has to look "pretty". Ummm....I'm a collector, that doesn't work. In an attempt to prettify as much as possible I made shelving in my closet that is perfectly suited to hold my coins. Take a look:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz104/jays-dad/IMG_0166.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I made the shelves to fit two boxes with a slight gap. The shelves are slightly more than 14" deep to fit the long boxes. I know, the shelving would make a carpenter cringe, but they were made to the exact dimensions of the closet and to perfectly fit my needs. I did all this with nothing but hand tools (though I got the shelves cut at Home Depot). Not a big job. No one needs to tell me the legs are crooked, I know and I don't care too much. Each shelf has three legs in the front, but five along the back. Total cost, about $40, probably less.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else got a clever set up?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
