How can I build a ledger for a shelf using tile?
I want to make a removable corner shelf out of Mahogony or Teak. I want it removable so it can be replaced or cleaned. My plan is to construct it out of a cluster of wood slats that rest across two ledgers (One ledger on each corner wall). I'll probably use a bead of silicon to help attach the shelf but its support will come from gravity as it will rest over my ledgers.
I think I can pull this off by building tile ledgers that consist of three or four tiles in a row on each corner wall. This picture shows the profile of one wall. The thing I need help with is how to build out the tiles that will act like the ledger. How can I do this? What goes where the question mark is? Perhaps a small piece of Hardibacker attached to the main layer of Hardibacker....? Any suggestions?
