Pat, thanks! You are welcome. Actually what shows in the photos is only about half of the separate fuzes. In addition, all of my other ordnance is fuzed, artillery, mortars, bombs, etc.
Since you have mentioned the shelving ideas, I thought I would share the basic design. I came up with the design years ago, around 1989. In 2009 I had a large expansion and built 6 of the center-room racks on wheels. I already had 4 built from the initial construction. I took photos of the units after construction and painting, but before they were loaded. In the photo named structure, you can see 5 new 8 foot sections on the left and one in the foreground on the right. In the photo named structure base, you can see the basis for all the shelving. It is the W shaped piece (with the outer sides of the W almost horizontal) in the bottom middle of each rack. I built a fixture to manufacture these, by laying 2 X 4's in the frame and nailing them together with a pneumatic nailer. It takes 3 of these bases for each 8 foot section, one at each end and one in the middle. The outer legs of the W are long enough to hold 3 2 X 4's and a 1/2 inch thick piece of plywood. You can see that in the left o the same photo. These base sections are also used as the base of the fuze shelves and the base of the shelves that are standing on end leaning against the walls around the walls of the room. Since the wall shelves only have one side, they only need half of a W shaped base, so I cut the base down the middle and add a vertical board to each half where the cuts are made.
The design has evolved over the years as I have tried to make improvements. On this build, I added strips of Unistrut every 4 linear feet, to allow the shelf height to be adjusted for taller or shorter rounds or cases. You can see the Unistrut channel on these shelves in the photo named Unistrut, and attached to the building walls holding up the rockets. The rockets rest in a piece of steel channel attached to the Unistrut. Being able to adjust the supports up and down allowed me to organize the rockets and level them with a digital level.
The center room shelves are made from two 4 X 8 sheets of 1/2 inch plywood nailed to a 2 X 4 frame. They are mounted to 3 bases back-to-back so they touch at the top. The panels are attached to the frame with long sheetrock screws. I then split a sheet of plywood down the middle and made the V shaped top that is bolted down to the top of the previously described structure. This gives me two shelf backs that are 6 ft. by 8 ft. that lean back into each other. With this structure complete, I attach 6 steel casters to each center room rack, and then calk and paint the assembly. When that is done I attach the Unistrut with lag screws.
On the racks that have ends exposed to the aisles, I build internal shelves, one on the bottom, and one on top of the W. I use these little areas to store extras of items and components.
I can move a completely loaded rack with a long crowbar, wheeling it slowly on the concrete floor. I have to remove the end rounds off each shelf as they tend to fall off.
