Maybe I should reinforce my shelving...
Perhaps I trusted Machine Mart's finest shelving a bit too much...

Did you not see that one coming David
Must be catching, one of the draw runners on my 'Professional Heavy Duty' machine mart toolbox has collapsed today only had spanners in,
so hardly being abused, Pile of poo, better start saving for a snap on 
Al.

Notice its sagging right underneath the middle one. You were probably fine with the other 2

Weld a bit of Angle iron to the shelf. That'l fix it
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I must weigh those things - a 10" 4-jaw chuck, a 12" faceplate, a 6" catch plate and a 24" c-spanner!
Whenever I want to put the 4-jaw on the lathe I always have to plan it carefully, as there is a high chance of putting my back out if I'm
careless.
The solution will be a 1" thick piece of marine ply to go on top, with the shelf pulled up to it with screws. Probably find that the legs will
collapse then...

Won't the 1" marine ply be a bit heavy.

Shame on you David.
You can build a car, from scratch, a very nice one at that....
then you BUY a shelf unit.... in KIT form.

Bit late, but Costco had some very robust looking shelving in the other day....

That's not machine mart's 'finest', that's their cheap and flimsy range
I got these ones (350kg per shelf allegedly) where the mdf shelves are supported on all 4 sides.

The hammer together assembly makes it a pain to move them, even when empty, though.

I've got a couple of those elsewhere in the garage - they're OK. I got given this one (that's my excuse anyway).
Screwed the plywood to the top of the bent shelf today - I've seen thicker metal on a baked bean tin...
