Love the Lumber/Sheet Plywood rack bro. Guess what? I’m sending the lumber rack that I just received back and making yours. It’s exactly what I needed. Thnx for idea!
Excellent design. The vertical 2xs on the wall aren't necessary. I would hang the other vertical 2xs from a top plate secured to roof rafters at the ceiling. Then you gain that 1-1/2" of space for the sheet goods while using less wood overall.
Omg!!! Where’ve you been for ever I’ve desperately searched for wood storage that hung on the wall for both boards and plywood sheets hallelujah!!! Most impressive storage rack by far! Thank you for sharing! Now we need to talk about mitre station that includes all tools except for a table saw but does include a sanding station ;) And shop vac dust collection ;) lmao
super nice rack, saw you stand on the bottom supports, hard to deny that pocket holes are not strong enough. i dont have enough use of them to trust like that. I need to use them more.
That’s a really cool design for hiding away full sheets. The only thing I’m having a little trouble thinking through is having to keep the wall beside the rack clear for inserting/removing sheets. I guess if you had something mobile in that area (or some other restriction that wouldn’t allow you to use the wall space for something else), it would work great.
Great idea, need to adjust to meet my needs. Using my 12x16 shed. Limited Room Space, I normally will cut any 4x8 sheets as needed. No storage room to this size. Only smaller pieces. Thanks again for the idea.
I've got a small 9' x 10' shed in my backyard in which I keep two bikes, all my tools, etc.. It's my small workshop :) I like the idea of having storage in the back for full panels! In small shops you constantly need to think outside of the box... congrats!
You are a genius. Brilliant design. I kinda sense kreg jig may not hold much weight though it looks good aesthetically. Anyways, I'm sure it works for you.
Great video. You had me at “mullet rack”. Depending on how long you have to store your sheet goods, it may start to bow (sag) if it isn’t supported in the back.
Yep. The way u walked into that, I knew it had mullet implications as well. And the design is sweet too! Unfortunately most my ply sheets are 3/4” oak, 3/4” maple, etc and there’s no way I can lift those up solo, that high, and slide in to the “party” section of storage. Regardless, design is very nice! Might use the “business” side of yer design ….??? Thx!
Dude! Just found what I'm going to build my Dad for Christmas. We had some trees milled after Hurricane Florence, and they are taking up his floorspace in the shop. I've seen a lot of wood storage rack plans, bit your "mullet" design kills all others. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome ideas and thank you for sharing. I will try to build one similar to yours but in a smaller scale to storage extra lumbers in my garage. Thanks and keep up the great job!
I built this over 2 months ago and it is holding up great. I did add some insurance and where a board would attach to another board, I used Z-MAX 2 in. x 4 in. 12-Gauge Galvanized Medium L-Angle along with pocket hole screws and glue.
He brother. I made a slightly modified version of the lumber you designed and I can tell you that this rack is awesome. I’m not sure how the wall is still standing.
For those who have built a similar project, with 2x8" utilizing the Kreg HD screws; how much horizontal movement is there once the screws are in? I realize that it the thinnest portion of the board and that part of the joint will have the least holding power; just want to make sure I am building things to be strong enough.
What purpose is that cross piece bolted to the wall at the bottom serving? It doesn't look like it is bearing any weight. It is unlikely that the vertical braces are transferring any weight in the the bottom cross brace. I like the design though and may get a chance to make my own version for a project.
Seems like some kind of blocking might be a good idea so it is not just screws holding that up... Kinda like how you'd use blocks on deck rail posts. Maybe on the top and bottom.
Kreg discontinued that pocket hole jig. Just picked one up in stock from Infinity Tool. The problem with this design is you can’t use 8’ of the wall to the left of your rack in order to access plywood. Most people’s garage walls are already busy
@2:43 I feel stupid for asking, but I'm not really good at this yet: How do you figure out where to place your screws when you're in the middle of the sheet? You can't see your joists. Are you just measuring your joist space? I guess I'd cut this to length right after I get the base set up. I'd put the plywood on top of the joists and get below it with a pencil and outline where they were. Flip the board and ta daa? AAah?
i think i got it. you only temporarily attached the first 2x4 then drilled for the lag screws to go into the studs. missed that. with no drywall, would you suggest using 3.5” lag screws? i have some pretty big pieces of wood to store, 2x12s and 4x6 and 4x4
It is wicked. I totally relate to having to get lumber off the ground. Thank you for your up load. It is awesome, and I will be attempting a smaller version sometime in the near future. Many thanks. Namaste 😊
Great Idea I am going to use this in my detached garages basement. pretty much perfect for my cleanup and renovation of that that 20x30 area. I am certain I will use this.
Very impressive, but only if you can afford 8ft of empty wall alongside for loading and unloading full sheets of board materials. I may use the timber rack idea for actual wood storage but I'm still looking for a suitable solution for my board materials! Many thanks Brian
Pocket holes not enough Needs plywood corner brace on all your 2x4 coming out from wall both sides however nice to see lag bolts being used on your wall pieces
JustJaminify, although overall once everything is attached together it gets a lot stronger. But pocket screws would not have been my choice. My lumber rack has plywood gusset on the horizontal support, it's a proven design
I like ur wood storage unit..but I have studs along the sides and in the front of my garage.. I will need to figure out how to attach everything you used..john
This is a great concept for optimizing space in the work shop. I'm a little concerned about the two pocket screws holding the horizontal 2x4, there is a huge amount of force applied to those two screws when loading it with hardwood lumber. Have you had a chance to put more than the few pieces of lumber you show on the video? How would you strengthen that joint if you had the opportunity to do so?
In this video he has 6 of those supports so the weight would be distributed (depending on the length of the lumber of course). He also mentions, in the link that takes you out of YT, regarding storing lumber further away from the wall will put more stress on the studs and drywall and that he tried to make the design as compact as possible. One thing you could always do is add a vertical support from the floor or angled from the wall at one or more points from the very bottom of the design. Of course I think the whole point is to create some floor space.
Only thing I plan on changing is to put bottom plywood Cut to 2ft by 8ft about 6 inches from floor to be able to sweep and pressure wash under it and add the other half length of plywood on top to add that as a plywood shelf.
ya han pasado 4 años ,la pregunta es ¿"Tiene movimiento de izquierda a derecha"? pregunto esto porque yo vivo en Chile y aqui tenemos temblores grado 6 cada 2 meses
Good design. Lags a plus but your poker screws want last with time. I suggest. The scrap from your 3/4Sandy ply, you half left over if it was a true 4x8. gusset all your arms. Both sides like old school trust build ing style on site, . Great video, I need to get the track you got for your saw.. What brand is that?
Hello, I know this video is old. But it still very functional. I've tried a similar build in my garage, but I downsized it little bit. I also used 2x6 instead if 2x8. But I got 3 HD screws on each 2x6 and it when I lay my weight at one at a time, I can clearly see that the 2x6 is "wiggle" just a tiny bit though. I understand that having 6, or in my case 5 2x6 will carry the weight even. Should I take some action maybe or just go with it? 🤙🏼
While planning this project, yes, I was cautious. But I tested some joints before doing the final build and it seemed to work. About a year and a half later, I’m happy to report that this rack is still holding strong.
You, my new friend, are an out-of-the-box thinker. Fabulous concept, design and execution. Do you have any thoughts on using 3/4” EMT conduit instead of the horizontal 2x4 braces?
I love how you put handwritten messages strategically throughout this video! Great idea! The design is awesome too!
Perfect UA-cam video. To the point. No longer than it needed to be. Entertaining and informative. Well done! And the rack is great too!
Love the Lumber/Sheet Plywood rack bro. Guess what? I’m sending the lumber rack that I just received back and making yours. It’s exactly what I needed. Thnx for idea!
I love the way you present the instruction on the materials. That just tickled the video production nerd in me! Great job!
Just found this video. I love your style, how you use physical objects for your on-screen text. Very cool. And the design is awesome
Thanks buddy. Appreciate you noticing the details.
Awesome design! I've been digging through lumber rack designs for a couple months and this is the one I will be building!
So freaking simple and probably the best rack around. Thanks so much.
Excellent design. The vertical 2xs on the wall aren't necessary. I would hang the other vertical 2xs from a top plate secured to roof rafters at the ceiling. Then you gain that 1-1/2" of space for the sheet goods while using less wood overall.

super nice rack, saw you stand on the bottom supports, hard to deny that pocket holes are not strong enough. i dont have enough use of them to trust like that. I need to use them more.
I like the making of the video. The cut, the music together with the pictures an noises. Good project at all. Greetings from Germany.
That’s a really cool design for hiding away full sheets. The only thing I’m having a little trouble thinking through is having to keep the wall beside the rack clear for inserting/removing sheets. I guess if you had something mobile in that area (or some other restriction that wouldn’t allow you to use the wall space for something else), it would work great.
Really like the masking tape and marker notes.
Great idea, need to adjust to meet my needs. Using my 12x16 shed. Limited Room Space, I normally will cut any 4x8 sheets as needed. No storage room to this size. Only smaller pieces. Thanks again for the idea.

Just a thought... Have a door on the outside to slide full sheets in the back.
I'm in the process of building my workshop and this will be the first thing I add! Thanks for sharing.
I really like your video style and all the fun labels on things. Fun to watch.
You are a genius. Brilliant design. I kinda sense kreg jig may not hold much weight though it looks good aesthetically. Anyways, I'm sure it works for you.

Nice lumber rack. This one stands out from the other designs which are good ideas also. Great informative video. Thanks.
Like your creative style.
Great video. The added notes are a fun extra. Keep that up for sure
I like the design. Awesome the confidence shown in the strength by standing on it.
Decided to make this rack today, slight modifications with my space, but a wonderful rack!
Best design I’ve seen yet! Very smart and strong , thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
Awesome ideas and thank you for sharing. I will try to build one similar to yours but in a smaller scale to storage extra lumbers in my garage. Thanks and keep up the great job!
Awesome design!
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for. I need the plywood space and have not seen any other projects with storage for sheet wood anywhere.
I built this over 2 months ago and it is holding up great. I did add some insurance and where a board would attach to another board, I used Z-MAX 2 in. x 4 in. 12-Gauge Galvanized Medium L-Angle along with pocket hole screws and glue.
And Simpson Strong-Tie LTP 3 in. x 4-1/4 in. Galvanized Lateral Tie Plate.
Very handy lumber storage, I like the shelves and pockets that you designed into it
OMG
Love the video
Love the idea
All the best
Liked and subscribed.
Thankyou
👍🏾
He brother. I made a slightly modified version of the lumber you designed and I can tell you that this rack is awesome. I’m not sure how the wall is still standing.
Very clever idea, the editing as well.

Thank you for sharing. I’m building this tomorrow. It is the perfect solution for my needs.
Great design. Thanks for the tip!

It is unlikely that the vertical braces are transferring any weight in the the bottom cross brace. I like the design though and may get a chance to make my own version for a project.
Annoying presentation from my vantage points, but an outstanding build. One of the most ingenious approaches I've viewed.
Appreciate the feedback.
this is the best god damn wood storage i have seen yet

This is insane! Very nice, I will be copying this style in the near future! Hell of an idea!
Thanks!
Just completed making this! Great idea.

Namaste? This guy ain't from Boulder.... LMFAO
Pretty awesome idea. Will be building this for my shop. Lumber cart does not have enough storage
This is the best design - thank you!
Great design and smooth video work!
Thanks!
Great Idea I am going to use this in my detached garages basement. pretty much perfect for my cleanup and renovation of that that 20x30 area. I am certain I will use this.
Racks ok but video is stellar and well done at showing novice assembly methods.
Very impressive, but only if you can afford 8ft of empty wall alongside for loading and unloading full sheets of board materials. I may use the timber rack idea for actual wood storage but I'm still looking for a suitable solution for my board materials! Many thanks
Brian
Just finished building mine. Looks awesome. Thank you sir
Pocket holes not enough Needs plywood corner brace on all your 2x4 coming out from wall both sides however nice to see lag bolts being used on your wall pieces
JustJaminify, my thoughts exactly. When he said "these are going to hold most of the weight, so I use heavy duty pocket screws"😁
JustJaminify, although overall once everything is attached together it gets a lot stronger. But pocket screws would not have been my choice. My lumber rack has plywood gusset on the horizontal support, it's a proven design
Those HD pocket screws are 1/4" diameter (#14), not your typical #6 or #8. The wood is going to break long before the screws.
@@ADBBuild the wood will break...that is the problem. The playeood brackets would prevent that issue.
The woods not gonna break, chill out. Go build something
I like ur wood storage unit..but I have studs along the sides and in the front of my garage.. I will need to figure out how to attach everything you used..john
Your daughter is a doll!
Awesome shelf. I saw this video two days ago...now I have this in my garage lol.
That’s cool to hear Sean. How did the build go for you?
Such a smart design, good work!
Great idea for sure. I wonder about the strength of the pocket screws holding the supports though.
HD pocket screws are pretty dang strong
I hear ya, and was skeptical about it at first, but I can tell you that this lumber rack is still holding strong in my garage after a couple of years.
Creative way to do instructions!
I like that it's up off the ground.
Clever idea and well done.
Love this!
Very nice, good work!!
Love the design great video
Bro awesome idea and exactly what the setup needed in garage. Many thanks.
Thanks very much for the inspiration sir
Just found this channel and love it! Great instruction technique…and a great lumber rack too! Thank you!
Do you have the dimensions for each piece, this looks really cool for my new garage
such a smart design
Excellent. Just made this for mine! Thank you sir!
This is a great concept for optimizing space in the work shop.

This is friggin awesome!!
Great design. Nice video. Unique way to include the steps into a he scenes.
really awesome design. any idea roughly how much weight each shelf can hold?
Very clever design! Thank you for the awesome ideas!!
This was great idea, I enjoyed watching you build it.
Dude... I love this design. You should post more!!!
Regards from Puerto Rico!
Thanks! I've got to balance these projects with family, a job and life in general, so I'll post as much as I can. Gracias!
what did you mean when you said you “timberly attached” the first 2x4 to the wall studs? i
my garage has no drywall so the studs are exposed
Only thing I plan on changing is to put bottom plywood Cut to 2ft by 8ft about 6 inches from floor to be able to sweep and pressure wash under it and add the other half length of plywood on top to add that as a plywood shelf.
I'd say you made pretty good use of an otherwise flimsy situation. Nice shelves. 2:37

Awesome shelf! Would you mind clarifying what length screws you used at 1:38 and 2:09? Also, I assume you used Kreg screws?
Excellent!
Great rack system. Your daughter at the end should be in a MasterCard commercial.......priceless!!
Do you have any concerns about the lumber rack arms being held by two screws?
While planning this project, yes, I was cautious. But I tested some joints before doing the final build and it seemed to work. About a year and a half later, I’m happy to report that this rack is still holding strong.
How is this unit holding up after 4 years?
Question: I have hollow metal studs. Would that be strong enough to hold the lag screws and 2x4s?
You need a impact sir! Great video 👌
It’s on my Christmas list! 🤞
Bro, this production value is ahead of those far bigger than you. Keep it up and throw them "get to know you" type vids
G
Great design....i'm gonna try one modification and try and do similar but have sheet lumber in back lower...???
Bad back...
Exactly, he built it upside down, fancy having to lift the heavy panels the highest, wood needs to be of the ground, not attached to the roof LOL
Appreciate the video, it's what I need and will be making directly.
Best rack I've seen!
Where did you get that jig?
You, my new friend, are an out-of-the-box thinker. Fabulous concept, design and execution. Do you have any thoughts on using 3/4” EMT conduit instead of the horizontal 2x4 braces?
Thanks Kevin. I like that idea, and it sounds like it would work. Let me know if you decide to go that direction.
Curious if those HD Kreg Screws have held for 3 years. Any updates?
Looks great
