Custom-made plywood poplar used as a wall blank in a storage space, by Raoul

Raoul shares this DIY project with making wall shelves yourself. He chose to order custom poplar plywood. So he has easily and quickly created more storage space. Read more about his experience below.

Description by Raoul

An old bathroom transformed into a storage space with five wall shelves, cut to size by sawing to size.

How I made this project

I ordered 5 poplar plywood (1.8 mm thickness) wall shelves from this handy online sawmill of different sizes to organize the space as efficiently as possible. In accordance with the principle of measuring twice, ordering once ;-). I varnished the planks twice with a hard wax oil to give them better protection, but unfortunately the planks turned out a bit yellower than hoped. The shelves are attached via sturdy shelf supports and good plugs, I can now mount more than 200kg per shelf.
