I want to put some shelves over the layout so I can hang the fluorescent lights and attach the fascia - basically frame the layout space - before I build the benchwork. Part of the reason is a need for storage above where I am working so that I can actually BUILD the benchwork. I have a high enough ceiling for 2 shelves and I was planning on using commercial shelves and brackets but realized that I could not mount the 4' lights under the bottom shelf. I was stumped until I thought about the grid tables I created for the old layout and realized if I create an 8" deep, 10 foot long grid of 1"x 2" or 3" lumber, I can secured that directly into the studs and lay the bottom shelf on that, leaving about 4"-6" along the front underside of the shelf for the layout lighting. This could work ...
