Very cool set up Joe - the shelving must be the best storage solution I’ve seen thus far.blu_fuz said:

I know, I know - LOL. I had to get it in the group shot at least since I had just about every single one in one place at the same time. I'll keep it to the side from now on, hahahahajimmyjimmy19702010 said:Very cool set up Joe - the shelving must be the best storage solution I’ve seen thus far.

What size bolt did you use to attach to the wall?
Had to read this all again. You got some time into this set up. But it came out sooooo nice

Each screw's load/shear capacity is 87#. Each shelf should hold 348# of shear load. Brackets and boards weigh about 20# and each shelf can only hold about 3-4 radios depending on the size. Radios average 20# each. I'm about 100# per shelf total weight with materials and radios. That's less than 1/3 the total screw capacity per shelf. And if you look closely in the pictures, the screw is at the top of the wall brackets to resist even more against pulling out of the wall.
Each screw has a 'pull out' strength of 100# per embeded inch. Each screw has about 1-7/8" of embedment into the 2x4 framing behind the drywall (never include drywall in calculation). Easily 150# pull out strength per screw. That's about 600# of pull out strength per 6'-3" shelf section. Even with the 7-1/4" deep shelf as leverage against the 'pull out' strength, the shelf and radios don't even get close to maximizing the pull out load. The center of the radio's weight is really only at the half way point of the shelf at about 3-1/2" from the wall.

Ah, a nice answer that brought a smile to my face. 
I have used Twin Slot shelving & brackets on a wall for my minis and considered the quantity of fixing screws, the weight of the Twin Slot system & shelving along with the amount of minis to be catered for and figured each screw would need to support about 3 pounds in weight - it wasn't scientific, just easy peasy!

At least you were thinking about it 
.
I don't like the slotted hooking shelf brackets for a few reasons. The main reason is because if one of my kids decides to do a kun-foo flying up-kick to one of the shelf brackets, it could still pop out of the wall channel causing immediate failure of the shelf. They can do just about anything to these floating shelves and there would be no ill effects.

We have had a couple parties at the house and honestly this 'whole wall' type of shelf display really gets everyone attention.
It is more impressive this way I think.
Some of the 2x8 boards are trying to cup and warp, I guess that's what happens when I use construction grade lumber. If I had a bunch more money to spend on this I probably would have went with a higher grade lumber.
