First ever blog entry!  Thought I'd share since its using steel stud and track, a method that occasionally comes up but I haven't seen it much used for a shelf layout. Generally the details of construction are pretty thin in discussions too.   

Just to set the stage. This will be my second layout since getting back into the hobby as an adult. The first was last year; a typical 4x8' double track roundy round with a small yard and a couple industry spurs.

Finally carved out a niche for my own work space. The tiny corner of my basement that I'd been using as my music room has a nice sunlit egress window that provides me light and somewhere to vent spray booth fumes, as well as nice ceiling recessed can lights for after dark. My wife decided to redo the corner of the family room that holds all her photography stuff, which made available a nicely sized piece of countertop with a backsplash. And the recent acquisition of a new bookshelf for the bedroom made two smaller bookshelves available as bases.

UPDATE - Of course it was an April Fools joke!
