You will need more structural support for the upper shelves or they will drop downward. Add some more 2x3s under the shelves that line up with the vertical studs and then use some heavy duty shelf brackets from wall to brace. you could also use 2x3 angled braces but they would take up more space.
I don’t think they need any more support, I sat on them and they held that without any sagging. The two shelves are reliant on each other and effectively a square attached to the wall studs. Thanks for your comment.
Screws hold much better for something like this. Nails are affordable and probably have a better shear strength due to being a softer steel than the screws, but this bench doesn't need any room to flex, the more rigid the better.
@@Thesaurcery4U2C but nails are way better for building houses i did not say that nails are better for this i said it is better for building house and way better
@@Thesaurcery4U2C and some nails are ring shanked so i have tried to pull them out before same for my dad and we could not get it out there for they are sturder than screws ring shank nails are
@@GentexGuy1997 The hardest nails to pull out are "clip head gun nails" they have a small head that is halfway clipped off and glue on the nails, it heats up when the gun shoots it in and then dries back glued inside the wood. I have been in construction for 38 years off and on, I was a framer for probably 12 of those years, so I do love "hand drive' nails, so have a look at a old wood deck, and for that application, screws are much better and you will see nails backing out. Screws are expensive, nails are not.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 I was more meaning that someone else could not do what you did for $100 if they were starting from scratch. i.e. screws, urethane, peg board, lights, etc. I believe that you did it for $100, but without all the leftover and free stuff you have, it will cost more. sorry about not being clear about that.
Its great to see you build things like this! It looks absolutely great!
Mee toooo. I think it came out great!

Very nice testing
Nice.
I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question. But did you get a plan for this bench or is it completely from scratch?
It’s built from scratch but I did plan for it
Cool, nice job!!!@@FireAlarmDude5967
WHOOOOOOOO
I always use a nail gun specially for building structures like houses

Well done, but this cost well over $100, lol.
It most definitely did not
$45 for lumber, $42 for plywood, $10 screws... $97
@@naterush5938 right. 97
