I originally wanted it about 5" lower, but there is a 1/2 door into the crawlspace that would have put the bottom of the shelf right at bash the forehead level.
This will ultimately be both vertical and flat storage.
Yes, the double-space on the right is intentional to let the 3mm birch stay flat. There is also a cutout in the back corner to use up some dead space and give some storage for tall items.
Very useful. Is your laser going underneath your shelving unit? Is your water heater has or electric?
Careful with fumes from solvent welds and acrylic and the water heater pilot light.
The laser goes almost in the corner, and it will be under the shelves.
The water heater and furnace are gas, but they are also both piezo start, so no flames unless they are actually running. Also, plenty of ventilation, but will be making that better as well.
Hopefully you don’t need to access that small door often.
One of the weird things about this house is that there is the normal/expected trap door in a closet to get to the crawlspace, as well as this door in the garage.
The laser rolls quite easily if I need access, though.
