Just thought I would post up a picture of the closet organizer that I finished this evening. It is not an example of the construction techniques that you should use or anything that quadman or django would be proud of but it met all of the design goals: cheap, sturdy, and functional. I feel sorry for the earthquake that tries to attack my closet.
This is part of my home organization project and stems from my disatisfaction with the quality and expense of the rubbermaid/closet maid organization products and my realization that dimensional lumber is cheap and sturdy.
I originally started this project with the idea of framing with 2x2s and was using scrap plywood to surface the frame. After completing the project I think the cheapest and best way to frame it would be to frame up a box with the back consisting of a 2x2 frame and the sides plywood. You could also just make a back using plywood, but 2x2s are much cheaper then making the back from a solid piece of good quality plywood. I used glue and wood screws, and yes, it is true that glue really bonds wood. Don't think you can decide on a better way to do something and then fix it after the glue has started setting. :D
I have two more closets to do, so I will do a much better job on them.
