Update: Here is how the shelves are looking after finishing with natural finish danish oil and hung up together.
I have about 7 done so far. and the assembly line of the next 12 in process.
The gap is much better after using some better clamping procedures ( thanks guys ). It's not perfect yet... but I attribute some of the gap from the plywood warp. and I am ok with that.
once done, I should have a lot of versatile storage above the work area. some of it is pretty high, I need to stand on the workbench to get to it... but that is for the less used items.

You are getting better each time. We all had to start somewhere. As I remember, my first book case was boards laid across cement blocks. Used it for years.

Thought I would add one more picture of all the cabinet/shelves completed and finished. Each box can be re-arranged as needed and I can use up all the wall space in and around the gas line and other shelving.
Yes, there is a mix of plywood here, mostly because I wanted to try different types and see how they work. The darker, finer grain is an oak veneer plywood. the core is 11 ply , 3/4 inch and was a lot more consistent. However, the finish was so thin, if I looked at it wrong it disappeared. it chipped and tore out all over the place. Even with a cross cut finishing blade on my mitre saw. it is a dewalt contractor finishing blade and cuts everything else nicely.
The other board is a sanded and finished on both sides pine plywood from the borg. only 7 ply, but the outer layer was much , much thicker and had no tare-out or thinning from sanding and finishing. I even like the look of the grain better. This plywood is not as stable and warped a little more, but good enough for garage shelving to me.
I will still build a few more custom attachments to go on the cleats, for things such as a light and maybe a custom plane holder.
now, I can do the next project on the list.
