Great job with your custom shelving idea, Tim! For my movie/media collection, I bought four tall IKEA Billy bookshelves and even extra Billy shelves to house my DVD's, Blu-rays, 4K's, and some of my movie-related collectibles because Billy bookshelves at that time were relatively cheap, but when COVID hit all of us, the cost of lumber increased by about 30% to 50% which also affected the current costs of wooden or medium density fiberboard shelving. Therefore, any economic ideas out there that help media collectors save money is a welcome suggestion and you've shown that your garage shelving idea works perfectly in any living room or media room. :)
@@alandeniston9229, yes, aside from extra wooden Billy shelves for a bookcase, one can also buy glass shelving for a different look. One can also buy extra Billy extension units to put on top of one's existing Billy bookcases if one has the extra height available, so there are quite a few shelving choices for Billy bookcases. :)
@@timtalkstalkies, yes, Billy bookcases are still an excellent value and are very substantially built, so they don't feel cheap or like they'll fall apart. They're built to last.
Those are great, the best deal I've gotten was a pair of Atlantic shelves from a garage sale for $10 each. I recently moved a pair of Prepac shelves a few feet and had to unload them first, a thousand Blu-rays easily surpasses 100 pounds.
Nice video! To new collectors, I would just say: when you run out of shelf space, it doesn't have to be a choice between throwing stuff out or buying fancy shelves to display it all. I recommend putting the discs themselves in a binder or some other organizer, putting most of the empty cases in a closet, and displaying only the best and coolest cases/boxes.
Very true. I’ve done the binder thing in the past when I lived in my apartment. Once this is all setup I plan to use the back part of the double deep for the things I don’t care quite as much about…out of sight but accessible.
A very nice option. Looks good, holds a lot and price competitive...Heath from Cereal At Midnight also has some basic, but very effective, cheap home-made shelving... Unfortunately none of it is an option when you're renting, unless you have a very understanding landlord lol I have to stick to flat-pack shelving units for now, but they're not super expensive either for what they hold...
That’s awesome man, reminds me of how I did my shelves. Brackets and boards that cost like $100 and I can store over 1,000 movies! There’s no way I’d spend a thousand+ dollars just to store movies lol Looking forward to seeing how your rooms turn out!
Physical media collectors are such a strange breed, we spend thousands of dollars a month on movies.But refuses to spend a decent amount on shelves that hold it or the players that played them.We're cheap in some aspects and spend like drunk sailers in others don't get it
Haha you’re not wrong. I’m ok with it here because I honestly don’t feel like something such as that modern shelving solution is better. I’ve run through about all the put togethers possible and spent thousands. Only real step that would be a huge improvement is legitimately hiring a carpenter for customs all around. We’re talking a $7k to $10k job at that point which yeah I’m not comfortable with that. Played wise I totally agree, but I never cheaped out there….using a UB820. Believe me I’ve spent many many hours researching shelving and the Legitimate only solution id rather at the moment is full on customs by a professional carpenter…maybe some day in the future but not now.
I used to live in a 4 bedroom house back in the day and I could show off my collection. But now I live in a studio so everything is really crammed now. I have movies from floor to ceiling all around. Remember the ending of Raiders Of The Lost Ark warehouse? That's how my studio looks lol!🤣 I don't know but your movie room looks fairly organized to me. The wall that can fit a 1,000 movies is awesome. You'll get your movie room the way you envision it Tim!🤔
I like how u showed that you can get quality shelves for a great price that’s why I don’t listen to some of these other people not spending no 800 dollars on shelves
I don’t think too many people make spinners to be honest. The spinners I have are form a company called Prepac though and they are really good and hold a bunch. They are pricey though in the $200-250 range each.
@@timtalkstalkies I noticed that. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss any other options. Would love to do custom shelves but my den has the old school panel walls which I love but I don't want to hang anything too load bearing on it. Thanks for your time.
Yesish…new curtains are going up and a curtain was there. That window though is sometimes open sometimes not. I have a garage and huge ass hedge outside that blocks a ton of direct sunlight. The wall shown in this video was a wall of steelbooks for awhile and the sun angle never actually hit that wall and I’ve experienced no fading. Like I said it’s only open sometimes kinda dependent on the situation.
I like the new shelving. I am very picky about my shelves. I am using IKEA Kallax for now but I think in the long run I am going to look at those shelves you're talking about.
Love the simple setup. A suggestion, buy a Dremel tool and use the metal cutting wheels to cut off the bracket parts that protrude out. I had to build custom shelves to store my movies in my HVAC room. It was the best place to put them. Kept it cheap and used common board from Lowe’s. Have you thought about taking some shelves across the windows? It might make a great place to display some statues with the natural light behind them.
Are you talking about on top of the spinner behind Tim? That's Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter. Pretty sure I saw a life-sized Mac walking around the rough part of town last week.
Yeah it’s not for everyone and I get that. I tried sticking to the prefab stuff as long as possible, but I wasn’t utilizing space like I wanted to anymore with them.
I very nice option for sure. As sure as the world, I would rip my clothes on those rack things that stick out..lol..My shelves hold 500 movies each and I have 7 of them in my room. I paid around $60 dollars each for them. So I spent around $400 dollars total on shelves that hold 3,500 movies. However, I would never double stack movies, that is a huge no no. Cant wait to see your completed room once you are done. I am sure you will love it.
Have you tried getting rid of your movies? I'm sure you have tons of movies you probably don't like. Put the movies you don't like in a binder of some kind or shelf them in boxes or sell/donate them.
Very nicely done. Clean job Tim 👍🏻 can’t wait to see it the way it turns out. Thanks for sharing 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I have been using those vertical metal DVD racks for so many years 😬Someday, I hope to have proper shelving

Same here. I didn't know they would sell just a extra shelf. I need one. Thanks
We did the Billy bookcases as well especially in our book room. They are super economical for what they hold.

Great shelves. Can't wait for the room to be done to see how it all came out. Great job
Looks great.
I can’t wait to see the new look.
Those are great Tim. Thanks for the info
Loving the new shelves. A very affordable option and they hold so much.

Great video! There are so many options available for custom self builds. You do not have to be a carpenter to build them either.
I live in a mobile home and have a spare bedroom for movies but I have a lot of movies and space is limited. Love this setup.
Got the same shelving installed when I moved 5 years ago with Sanoma Oak shelves. Got three 3 metre ones and they are full.
Exactly for the change yes I was thinking about that first my room
Way to maximize the space for the money man! Totally dig it!
Nice set up
I like how u showed that you can get quality shelves for a great price that’s why I don’t listen to some of these other people not spending no 800 dollars on shelves
Cost doesn’t always equal better for sure. It’s crazy how much those expensive modern shelvings keep showing on my IG and Facebook feeds.
@@timtalkstalkies can’t say it any better then that great video sir
Which spinning media shelf would you recommend? I have the atlantic media shelves right now but need a spinning one to save space.
I don’t think too many people make spinners to be honest. The spinners I have are form a company called Prepac though and they are really good and hold a bunch. They are pricey though in the $200-250 range each.

I assume you typically have a curtain over the window? Sunlight could wreak plenty of havoc on your collection
Yesish…new curtains are going up and a curtain was there. That window though is sometimes open sometimes not. I have a garage and huge ass hedge outside that blocks a ton of direct sunlight.

Nice that you've found a solution that works for you........I'll be honest though, those brackets sticking out would drive my OCD nuts 🤣🤣🤣
Looks good man. I honestly don’t like the modern shelving look. I custom did all mine you can see in my library tour for waaaaay less.
Those prefabs only carry someone so far before you outgrow them.
Love the simple setup. A suggestion, buy a Dremel tool and use the metal cutting wheels to cut off the bracket parts that protrude out.

Put it somewhere agreed with you Tim
Please don’t tell me that’s a life-size Mac and me in the back because if it is, I need it
Are you talking about on top of the spinner behind Tim? That's Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter. Pretty sure I saw a life-sized Mac walking around the rough part of town last week.
Haha I wish it was a life size Mac. It’s a Dobby statue though.
Anything I have to mount to the wall is a no go for me. I’d rather spend more money on the pre-made shelving and live with the results
Yeah it’s not for everyone and I get that. I tried sticking to the prefab stuff as long as possible, but I wasn’t utilizing space like I wanted to anymore with them.
Lack of space is a killer for us collectors
I very nice option for sure. As sure as the world, I would rip my clothes on those rack things that stick out..lol..My shelves hold 500 movies each and I have 7 of them in my room. I paid around $60 dollars each for them. So I spent around $400 dollars total on shelves that hold 3,500 movies. However, I would never double stack movies, that is a huge no no. Cant wait to see your completed room once you are done. I am sure you will love it.
I just finished filling my shelves again, I had to move back into my closet. UGH.
Wow Tim
thoes shelfs are to wide for movies lots unised spase need fill it with something not a fan of widee shelfs for film maybe records
That’s good nice
Have you tried getting rid of your movies? I'm sure you have tons of movies you probably don't like.
Put the movies you don't like in a binder of some kind or shelf them in boxes or sell/donate them.
Wow Tim
