Motocross Gear Shelf

Hello and thanks for clicking on my post. My son received a motorcycle for his birthday and got all the gear he could ask for for Christmas and it was everywhere. So I decided to build a shelf to store it all and here is how I did it

Old piston

2 old sprokets

shelving board

screws

paint

plywood

This project was very fluid I had a plan in my head but it kept changing but the main pieces stayed the same.

Cut all the braiing and helmet shelf at 30 degrees this will give you a nice slope for the helmet to rest on

The sprocket I used for this shelf had 6 holes. By cutting this into 6 pieces you get 30 degree sections.

The other sprocket I cut into 4 sections making them 45 degree angles.

i used a cutting wheel with and angle grinder made quick work of this process

Since I dont have a welder I routed the 2x2 to fit the sprocket.

helmet shelf is 13x16

cubbies are 4x4x10

single shelves are 4x4

I made 2 cubbies using scrap wood. I cut at 4 inches wide and made them to fit the goggles. used brad nails and glue to hold it all together.

This step will help you get the location of the shelves and ensure the wood wont split. Make assembly really easy

I used a round over bit in the router to make it simple. Then sanded everything to 120 grit.

I choose to go with the colors of my sons helmet

pre drilling made this simple. My table is level so i used a level to make sure the shelves were all level as well

I used my cricut to cut out his name and his number along with some racing decals.

The back ground was to plain for me so i scraped it and turned it into a helmet shape!! i free handed the design made it look as close as I could to my sons helmet

I did the best i could its not perfect but it turned out pretty cool.

I made sure to hit the studs. I hope you like this instructable tell me if i made the right choose on changing the back board!
