torpedo shelf

[chosi]

I just modified a wall shelf to make it into a torpedo shelf.
I'm trying to decide if I should use it purely for torpedos, or if I should put bottles on top as well.
Here's a photo with just torpedos.

Here it is with bottles on top.

Sorry if the first photo look huge. Here it is again, hopefully smaller this time.

Neat idea. They almost look like they're getting hung lol. I would put something across the grooves you cut so there's not chance of them sliding off onto the floor [:-]
Maybe you could cut a very thin groove across the top of the large groove and drop a little piece of wire in there (as thick as a coat hanger wire or something). That probably sounds confusing, I'd need to draw it out for it to make sense [>:]

My idea for keeping the bottles from falling off was to tilt the shelf back. There is a screw in the back of the shelf on the bottom, that keeps it at an angle. Not sure how this picture will look, but here are the plans I drew up. Note the screw in the view on the top right.

a velcro strap would work perfect on the front,just some fine fabric and velcro between the bottles.

Great idea,...nice job...It looks great, but would look best with the fresh cuts stained and varnished to match,...and smaller bottles on the top of the shelf for symmetry. (Maybe some aqua meds, to showcase the cool colors on the torps)

looks better without those odd glass objects on the top[]

Nice bottles. I find white is the best back drop for bottles or sunlight.[]
