Well, I am an advocate of Ironmongery Direct, as I think they offer excellent customer service, and this has been born out again, albeit this time with a few errors. I got the package, delivered internationally, and it contained most of the brackets, but 10 were missing, and I had 9 extra of...

Thanks for the advice, although, 1m centres over 3m means 4 brackets, so the maple weighs 6.75kg per bracket. That means with a 50kg bracket, I could load 7 on them. Still surprised that thin bit of metal there and on the wall strip can bear so much.

I posted about that earlier. It's 50Kg per shelf, as opposed to per bracket, so I didn't like the idea very much. What surprises me is that a twinslot could hold so much. I always felt that it was all the weight on these little thin tabs here: Which have already had a slot cut out of it to...

They go down as the further from the wall, the greater the "moment" and the greater the forces. I assume that the longest 2 are different and reinforced in some way. Where did you get them? do you have a link?

The steel of the twin slot always seemed somewhat thin to me, however looking at the specs, they are typically 50kg per bracket. One thing that put me off a bit, was that they flap around when not screwed to a shelf, and would want to have these open, with no shelving. Still I ordered a bunch...

yes. Here in italy, things are expensive!

Yer, I have a lot to store, need maybe 10 shelves of 3m each, and at €20 per bracket, would like to find a cost effective solution. The one from lee valley http://www.leevalley.com/en/Wood/page.a ... 48&p=32145 holds 270kg per bracket, but I can't find anything similar in EU. The Triton one...

I've got some of that in my garage, and wouldn't store hundreds of kilos on it. Maybe there's some super heavy duty ones out there, but not seen them. I'll search some more.

If you turn the pieces in alternating directions, then you will get the forces opposing and this can work. Probably works best with thicker pieces though. Ie if you have a lot of twist, cut them thinner, if you have a lot of bow, cut them wider. I had some oak recently and I didn't get it...

You need a planer and a thicknesser (or a combination machine), and some practice, and probably safety equipment, and ideally dust extraction, and to know how to do it... that's going to cost you time and money I am afraid. If you don't want to do that, then I suggest you could take them to a...

I found that impact drivers are powerful, but quite slow, and therefore it is very easy to let go at the right moment, or just before, and then give a very short burst to get it to the right place. I tend to only use it where my drill driver can't manage, ie very big screws that would end up...

They are aluminium yes. I was thinking that I don't want uprights secured to the floor, running up to the top of the bracket, as then it's hard to get these pieces in. However I could do that on just the end two, and then put the actual brackets every 50cm, giving me 7 for a 3m length. I just...

I got these for the precise reason that they didn't have that part, others do and really limit the space. I am aware it may reduce capacity, all other things being equal, but then I can simply put my levels closer together. Well, that's where I started, but I'd like to load them as much as...

Can't find that here :( Had to get some "universal construction adhesive" which looks like bog standard B&Q brand stuff. Fingers crossed!

Got these 50cm brackets. Intending to store wood on them. Wondering what the max load will be. The wood is heavy. Any engineers out there who might know? My discipline was electronics so not much use! I currently intend to put 4 up and store 8 x 6cm maple planks, each 20cm wide and 3m long...

Yes, I really want to be able to "squish" the wood into the glue, so I can set it right. As for the varnish, I was expecting water based, but normally I get 20l of something in a can to spray. This looks like a rather dainty 0.7l bottle that I might use for some small specialist purpose. So I...

This is what was recommended, and bought. Anyone every heard of this before? http://www.adler-lacke.com/en/products- ... ssic-3766/

Right, so the wife is at a specialist flooring company / installer on the way home - and they gave her some totally different glue, runny stuff like in my workshop which won't do at all. And for varnish (i asked for 20 litre to spray), she was given Adler sealing coat for wooden floors, one...

Thanks, I probably do a test piece first.

So I have these raw wooden construction wood stairs - like 25cm plywood. I need to attach 3cm oak boards, and I think something like construction adhesive would be required. They are not perfectly flat (the sub material) and I need time to move/ settle them into position - so i was thinking a...
