[Swansea Hackspace] Storage Improvements

[Aled]

I'd be happy to help with this, can bring some saws and a pocket hole jig, clamps etc. and possibly some spare ply and pine bits and pieces.
Not sure that I'll be able to make it this Monday though as my car is in the garage for repairs and may not be ready by then.

 At the last Hack-the-Space day we discussed
 the increasing problem of
 storage and finding items, too many
 items are stuffed in odd drawers
 and cupboards and not well labelled, so
 it becomes difficult to tell
 what we have and to locate what we do.
 
 It was also noted that at the far end
 of the room where the textiles
 work area is currently located the
 lighting is quite poor, both from
 windows and from ceiling lighting.
 
 The proposed solution to both problems
 is to swap the computers and
 textiles section around, and to build a
 custom shelving unit inbetween
 them to better store items.
 
 We want to build something from wall to
 wall, and floor to as high as
 we can reach, which will hold a grid of
 storage boxes.
 As in this picture: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6VY8LD0GxaIJYe823
 
 These storage boxes will be marked with
 coloured stripes that instantly
 indicate their correct location, and
 labels to indicate contents.
 
 
 Now, we need some volunteers that are
 handy with their woodwork, that
 can help construct it, and to plan what
 materials we will need so we
 can have it ready to go at the next HtS
 day (5th May)
 
 The space we plan to fit it in is 260cm
 wide and 242cm high, and the
 shelf will need to be as deep as the
 storage boxes we select.
 
 Anyone with suitable skills ?
 Proposals for the structure and
 materials to use ?
 A cheap supply of plastic storage boxes
 ?
