Installing the corbals involved a few more steps then the untrained eye would predict. Because these shelves had to support alot of weight, extra bracing had to be added in the wall. The corbals needed to be attached to studs, and evenly centered in the wall. Due to the age of the home this was a minor challange to achieve because the studs were 24 inches on center instead of 16. The base cabinet was made from pine and stained to match the old heart pine trim that runs throughout the house. All that needed now is a fresh coat of paint on the walls and a concrete counter top.
