Small 3" Shelf when Dinette Converted to Bed

[Coddiwomple]

I made two shelves for the brackets where the tables are mounted to the interior wall. Works great for small items and iPhone. Photos below.

Only problem is that I needed two 24" long pieces of aluminum z-channel but had to buy 24 feet. Now I have 20 feet left over so if anyone is interested in this mod and wants some of the z-channel you can send me a PM.

In addition, I swapped the thumbtab bolts out for knobs. 

This is my first post so I hope it works correctly - let me know if I need to change anything.  I am working on another mod that I intend to post.

That’s cool, welcome and thanks for posting. You should consider rounding off those top corners tho, they can draw blood.

 

Where did you get the zee? My local source sells by the inch. I bet a 24 foot section cost You a fortune….

Yes, I filed them smooth but I agree and will round them off.

I purchased the z-channel from Eagle Aluminum in Loretto, MN.

really cool mod

can come in quite handy, I've been stashing stuff in the window track which is less than ideal

I modified the modification. I rounded the top corners and cut slots on the bottom leg so now it can be used below the table too.

Nice idea. Others have done the under table storage mod. I probably would have used wood, as our older skin is "thin," plus wood is very easy to work with. Maybe even just buy some picture rail, like this.

Thanks for including all the components.  Very helpful.
