\"Guitar<\/a><\/p>\n

I do a lot of DIY projects. One idea I was envisioning was an industrial rugged guitar amplifier head shelf. I wanted to be able to keep them off the floor and be easily able to plug and play into any amplifier. Plus, it has to look cool.
\n<\/p>\n

Above is what I came up with. It is made from construction grade pine 2×3 and 1×12 boards. The shelf is held together with 3\/8″ all-thread cut to 15″ lengths. The whole shelf is held together with tension. I really like the look of rugged wood and metal.<\/p>\n

The shelf is 70″ tall and 36″ wide. I simply built a frame out of the 2×3 boards with a cross brace in the center held together by 2.5″ deck screws. I drilled holes for the all-thread every 14″ starting 1.25″ from the top edge (half of the 1×3 board). After cutting the all-thread to 15″ lengths with an angle grinder with a metal cutting wheel on it, I simply added the washers and nuts to loosely hold the frame together.<\/p>\n

I then placed the 1×12 boards that I cut to 36″ in length on top of the all-thread rods. Using a level to ensure that each shelf was flat, I tightened up each rod to hold it all in place. I should mention that before I put it all together I gave it all a light sanding with 150 grit, and stained it “Espresso” from Minwax.<\/p>\n

Now my amps are off the floor, and it look great in my office. Let me know if you have any questions or want the plans. Rock ‘n Roll!<\/p>\n
