… Bed Shelves — Fostering Adventure

Bed Shelves

Really just a convenience project, the little shelves in the two corners by the head of the bed were so we had a place to put a water bottle, tissue box and somewhere to sit miscellaneous items while sleeping. The reason they are a convenience item is that they will hold all the items in place even when the truck is traveling, and prevents us from having to stow everything before getting underway.

The shelf components with the aluminum edge trim shaped.

The vertical components laminated and fitted in place.

The detail work with the laminate before the two pieces are glued together.

The finished shelves showing the capture edge, and the bottle and tissue holders.

A look at the front, and underneath.

We lined the bottle holder with 1/4" foam so it didn't rattle when the truck was moving.

Both organizers screwed in place.

A single thumb screw holds everything tight. So easy removal is possible for tissue box changing.
