Added a Shelf Over the Chest Freezer

Added a 10 x 36 inch shelf over the DC chest freezer for increased storage. Originally I thought the chest freezer would make this area somewhat unusable, but now with the huge cabinet above, the shelf behind and the large work surface, it's a very useful area and an incredibly economical freezer using just 300 watt-hours of energy per day.

Shelf was sized to be a bit shorter than the 41" freezer lid width, so a standard 10 x 36 inch shelf and a pair of 10 inch shelf brackets did the trick. I had 2 single track wall brackets laying around. Shelf height was adjusted to just fit behind the raised freezer lid.

Cost for the shelf was under US$20:

This gives enough storage space to hold a dozen polyurethane body mount bushing kits in back along with an assortment of polyurethane spring bushing kits in front for easy access.
