Yet Another Shelf

Inspired by the folding desk design, we made a shelf in the same curvy image.  Perhaps this top shelf can be used for cereal boxes and dried lentils while the lower shelf is used to store camping mugs and small kitchen implements.

Not everyone knows this, but the Buddha sculpture is permanently attached to this shelf in order to bring maximum equanimity (which you can't buy at Target, despite popular belief) to the tiny house even while it is being moved down the freeway to top speed.  Built-in Buddha!

Is it sufficient to hang this whole shelf with just 12 wood screws into the loft joists?  Only time will tell.....

  1. Love the fixed Buddha. Made sure he was omnipresent, didn't you?

    1. It seemed important to have the Buddha presiding over the Great Hall of the tiny house.

  2. 12 wood screw will undoubtedly suffice due to the significance of the number 12. The 12 psychic powers possessed by a Buddha, or the 12 apostles in the bible, and perhaps greatest example of all is Jason Webleys song 12 Saints. Alas the song was 11 saints!! -better take a screw out.

    1. Key points. Maybe remove one screw and add one bracket.
