I need help!! I am just starting to get into this hobby and thought I'd put a track running around my room about a foot below ceiling. I'm having great difficulty erecting the "shelf." I have used a 1x1.5 piece of pine for the straight pieces and cut down a piece to a 15" radius 1x1.5 for the corners. I can't seem to get the pieces to line up properly.
Does anyone have any ideas to imporve this or am I doing it completely wrong??
Having a little trouble understanding what your doing or how your trying to explain it. If you can post a couple pictures we might have a better idea or understand more your problem. are you building the shelf supports on the wall or from the ceiling? You should have to build a 1/2 turn for the radius and cut that into 1/2 giving you a 1/4 of a turn, do this twice will be enough for the whole room (one for each corner) and then build the supports to hold those. "all-thread from the ceiling is a great way to suspend it (and is very adjustable)...a lazer level will be a great help for you...but still having a ruff time understanding where your having trouble. Give us a little more details and we'll try our best. Thanks!

If the corner's benchwork doesn't look like the attached photo then it's most likely wrong.

I'd chip in, but I'm not quite sure myself.
