Project #2 from Spike : Aluminum Art Gallery Display Shelves
This was a project i did for an art gallery in Niwot, CO.
If you looked at the first projected i posted of my polished aluminum welding cart, then you might recognize the main material used here. This is the project i originally got the corrugated aluminum panels for.
This project came in 2 parts, The first was a set moveable display wall panels to hang paintings and photography prints on. The second part was a set of four aluminum display shelves to hold sculpture and what nots. It took me about a month from start to finish to get these done, and it used almost every metalworking tool that i had. Even the woodworking tools got some use putting together the display walls.
Making something with a very clean 'minimalist' look usually means that you're going to be making it the hardest and most complicated way you can.
I'll be going over the steps and tools that i used to make these shelves in this post. Hopefully it can help people see how they can fit strange scraps at the recycle yard into projects of their own.
