Poly Boards for Shelving

[Al Lewis]

Thanks Danbo!  I'm tempting to order one for the top shelf so they all match.  LOL

I know the feeling... But you have paid for shipping once - and it looks really nice already.

You won't notice it when the cave is full...

I have ordered from them in the past.  The only problem with poly is that it attracts condensation and solid ones restrict air flow.  I drilled many holes and then used a round over bit in my router to help the circulation.

I'm actually trying to cut down circulation in the hopes of keeping the blues and whites from spreading.

John, that is a beautiful job on your shelf - and I know from experience how much time it took to make it (unless, that is, you had access to a CNC router - ?)

In any case, deserving of a cheese!

I am not sure that will work since every time the door is opened there is pressure change.  You may find that temps and humidity may not be constant from level to level.  But then again, you just never know until you try.  I keep my little wine fridge just for blues now.  I think that is the only safe way to prevent cross contamination.  Good luck!

No CNC.  This was a 6 pack job laying out, drilling and routing, hole-by-hole.  Thanks for the cheese!

Stacking up 6 at a time - did you screw them together, or how did you keep them from slipping out of place? That certainly was the way to do it as far as drilling the holes ... but that is still a LOT of holes, and a LOT of routing. My back is hurting just thinking about it ... partly because is it making me feel guilty for a project in the garage that needs time and attention to move to completion!

LOL.  No, I drank a six pack while drilling and routing.

Oops! Totally misinterpreted that one. I guess the 6-pack helped to stave off back pain ... but now that I look at the picture more closely, do the holes get less and less consistently placed the further down the 6-pack back they go?
