Store Paint Cans In A Diy Trough Shelf

I’m using strips of leftover ¾-inch plywood to create 4-foot-long shelves. I made two sizes, one to fit quart paint and stain cans and another taller and shallower size to fit spray paint cans. The full cut list is below. Scroll to the bottom of this page for the list of tools and materials needed for this project. for this project over on thisoldhouse.com.
