they look good man. how did you mount them.

Very cool!
I really like the way you displayed them, it's very similar to what I had envisioned for my own display. I also want to know how you mounted the shelves, I don't see any brackets or hardware.

i drilled 16mm holes in wall at every 400mm and chem fixed 12mm rods in, and the shelf has 12mm voids in them so shelf slides onto rods
Outstanding work! (As a construction guy I can really appreciate this!)
Looks fantastic, great idea for the mountings!
great job -- i used cedar for my box cabinets-
it smells good
--
but not even 1/3 as strong as yous
....and btw - its easy to envision a few more rows ---and another 30 boxes!!

thanks oldskool 69, yep im in construction to, it took plenty of time and effort, i even angled the rods up slightly so when the weight of all those old stinky radios are on the shelf came level but i did have my girlfriend to help as you only get 7 minutes before the chem fix starts to set.
yes redbenjoe there is always room for more, but i do have to leave room for a desks and my turntables and other stuff, only going to get about 5 more bbox's
The shelves are good, and the boomboxes even better - very nice!!
Nice one Geoff, looks cool!
Great job Geoff!!! That looks awesome. BTW,where do you live? it looks like beautiful weather out your window. We just got dumped on by about 8 inches of wet snow.

it looks great and in a good spot just looking at them and within reach, good job well done
Man .. that's a dream !!!!.
Looks PERFECT !!!! I hope I can do something like this in the future ...I need some more boxes =) and a room ...
A great job with the Shelfs geoff looks really great,a clean tidy look no ugly brackets showing.
Also some nice ghettos on the wanted list a fine collection you have.
Much nicer storage than on the floor!
Those shelves are a total MUST HAVE... I've been trippin out since you first posted them. We are starting a large home addition soon and when finished I'll have a room for all my stuff, believe me there will be Boxes involved and now probably some similar shelves
Very Nicely Done and a Helluva Collection to boot
NICE
Great craftsmanship!
Excellent layout and design!
They look great up on the wall like that!
