recycled shelf

This was the old shelf.  Although it had spaces for small items, its bulkiness

limited the amount of desk space and hardly allowed for any under-the-shelf

space to be utilized.  

over the past few years I have consumed a lot of coffee...to say the least.  this resulted in me accumulating a lot of empty coffee cans.  instead of throwing them out I thought it would be a cool idea to recycle them into a shelf.  a newer shelf was definitely needed because the old one I built took up too much desk space.  this new shelf is a lot more space friendly and allows me to utilize my desk better.

This was scrap wood from my garage and serves
as the main shelf surface.

A couple of these coffee containers serve as vertical supports.

This new design allows for under-the-shelf space.

The overall design is slim and very simple.  I think it  came out pretty well and
am excited because it has the capabilities to free up a lot of desk space.
