I like how you show those honest moments of a project (you putting together shelves) where you try something out, then realize there’s a more efficient way of doing something. My favorite part of projects!
Man thank you for explaining general concepts like shear strength vs compressive strength. Those basics (which us non craftsman are not familiar with) are super useful concepts to define and put examples with. 🙂
Pro tip on the hanging storage:. Keep an eye out for suit bags and drycleaning bags on the free stuff listings. The shoulders of anything hanging for more than three months or so will get surprisingly filthy, even in a closet with a door.
I usually put black trash bags over camping gear that hangs or things like life vests. Just cut a hole for the hanger top to go through. Seems like this stuff does get dirty even in a closed room.
And if you don’t mind the fragrance, you can get febreeze scented trash bags meant to deal with trash odor that will help to keep your gear from smelling musty in the plastic.

@@karenmitchell6814 I know you commented this 2 months ago. But I'm organizing my shop and boat storage area and this hack is genius for storing my life vests! No more musty smell
@@krizkatz1574 You are welcome. And if you can’t find the scented ones or over time the the effect fades; put a dryer sheet in the bottom of the bag. That’s a hack for storing suitcases as well: drop a dryer sheet in them before you zip them up and store them. Keeps them from getting musty too.
The lighting!! I was looking to add one big hanging light in my garage off my garage opener to brighten my space / improve video lighting. Game changer! Thanks for sharing!
It probably would have meant a lot more work too. I thought the knob height was strange. Instead of cutting off the bottom of the door, he'd have to remove the top of the frame, cut that down the amount needed and then the door too. Because the pre-mortised latch and door knob already there, you can't really move the door knob up or you'd have the ugly old hole and need the new one. An inch or two is probably ok, but 6", just too low.
Few quick things for anyone attempting something similar. 1: there are double 2X6, 2X8, etc joist hangers, so you don’t need to get one for a 4X4 and shim it. 2: most joists are not milled very accurately, so while it is convenient to just nail all the hangers on and then drop the joists in, you will very likely wind up with the top surface of the joists not being coplanar due to the inconsistencies in width. 3: it is a good idea to use pressure treated wood or a gasket for anything that is in contact with concrete, as concrete tends to be a source of moisture for wood.
Wow this was a fun video to watch. I am a beginner "wood worker" which is an OVER STATEMENT lol... but my 6 yr old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this project!
You can only own as much as you can organize, otherwise things you go to look for will be lost in the mess making it like you never owned them in the first place, good job!

I loved this for sooo many reasons but in short… its practical … has purpose..you painted the door, everything has a home and you even labelled your boxes.👏🏻👏🏻 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕
Your tip on structural screws is greatly appreciated. I love the design of the storage room; including a closet was an excellent idea. Adding a line of hooks in the wall of the closet (half way high) will provide a way to hang bags, bets, etc. without taking much space. Great use of the space! I’m not sure about the lights … they just look provisional.
Great Job Michael, I watched your build and started crying while watching, I had just started a hobby room basically like yours this past winter . Well April 16th at 3:15 Am we woke to a smoke alarm well needless to say we lost everything we owned TG we got out in time and got our four legged babies out safely I loved your build
I'm always so jealous of the fact that you guys have easy access to dimensional lumber to use in construction. We don't have that here in Brazil. Nice project.
Thise construction lights were EXACTLY what I was looking for to add to my sister's 2nd pantry. It's easy to install and affordable until she saves up for what she wants instead. ♥
Great video and even better build. Tip from some stuff I learned while drywalling, Never let your drywall boards sit on the concrete slab floor as they will soak up moisture always try to leave like 1/4 inch gap or so using a pry bar to help pry it up while hanging works great! Love the videos man keep up the great work.
I like to throw a couple plastic horseshoe shims down for this same reason. It'll keep it at a consistent height off the ground and it's so freaking easy
So I've been watching a lot of video's on people who are building area's to solve space issues. I have to say I really like how you turned that space around. I would watch more video's right now, but considering how late it is I'll have to save watching those video's for my lunch hours in the days to come. You got a new sub Michael.
The thing that blows me away about your channel, is that your skill range is ridiculous and you make a great job of everything thing, from pattern ply, building sheds, to stud walls etc, it's all really nicely done. You've got to have the widest range of skills out of everyone I watch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Tim!! Much appreciated! With these project I worry I’m too far away from what people want to see me build, so it’s nice to know folks like yourself are game for it. 😅 Hope you’re well 🙌
It’s very flexible to have a room made of wood and very nice to have access to inexpensive 2x4s. I can’t even imagine what this would cost to build here in Italy where 2x4s are not readily available because everything is made of bricks and cement…
FYI those Esonie LED Construction String Lights are unavailable. I purchased the Muasdae LED lights and the switch. Just got them today and I can highly recommend both. Thanks Michael. I'm going to put these in my attic. Nice video, lots of great tips. Thanks.
with the floor stud, after drilling into the concrete a sliver of wood and then a penny nail driven in with the head sticking up so that it is easy to remove if you need to disassemble.
I am envious and now inspired. But I get you, doing the project is more chaos on top of chaos and when it’s done, then you have the space that would have been helpful for the project. I need to create a cohesive storage and workroom. Thinking about the 2 tiered storage and how I could create. Top deck for Xmas tree, deck umbrella, and other seasonal long awkward items that always fall over.
LOL. As a West Seattleite I can appreciate you wanting to move outside to cut the studs. Can also understand you having to dodge the rain as they wash through. 🙂
why is it after years of watching your vids that it took me until just now to learn you are a fellow seattle resident! im always shocked by how small a world this big city is haha
This is incredible. As someone who has never built anything like this by hand but would like to, seeing this is motivating and inspiriting but at the same time feels daunting. I'm new to your videos and will definitely be checking out more but I'm wondering do you have any videos where you explain your process for designing? Seems like you have to be able to plan way ahead to make sure everything gets cut and sized right!
As someone who got into this 3 years ago and late in life, I'd recommend a good tape measure and graphing paper to plan out your designs. Like Adisson commented- math and practice will get you there. The tricky thing about lumber is a 2x4 isn't 2 inches by 4 inches. It's 1.5"x3.5". A 2x6 is 1.5"x5.5", but a 2x8 is 1.5"x7.25". Do a search for dimensional lumber size charts and that will help with designing and making the proper cuts. And as they say- measure twice, cut once.
I, over here in Germany, can not comprehend how he just casually screws the screws into the wall lol. Fun Video hyped for when your gonna build the office
LOL, I'm guilty of that too. I cut one side of my wall a little too short but oh well. It is a learning process. Great job on the storage space, and a big WOW on the art work, you are so gifted.
Tip on fastening the bottom plate to concrete. If you drill a hole the same size as the nail you want to use then place a piece of tie wire in the hole ( it can be longer than the nail it doesn’t matter) then hammer the nail in. It’s crazy strong. Try it
I also live in the greater Seattle area and suffer from all the tree pollen. I can't cut lumber without a face mask, even outdoors. I love your shelf design. I might steal it. I've been considering building a similar storage room at the back of my 2 car garage to separate my woodworking shop from all our other tools. Then I can add storage to the other side of the wall for woodworking tools. I wish I had that much ceiling height in my garage. Also, wetting drywall tape can cause it to bubble later down the road. Mix water in the mud instead.
Design and construction advice: The inner studs 2x6.. It would have been structurally sound with 2x2! As long as they can not bend (which they can’t when screwed to the wall) they give more than enough support to whatever you manage to store upstairs! 😉 Kind regards Anders Sweden Retired engineer
Even pre mixed mud needs water added fyi. It’ll make it so much easier for you. Box or bucket I take a yellow sponge dip it and squeeze it out in the mud. A 5 gallon bucket I like 2’full squeeze of the sponge, a box of mud I do 1-1.5. For all purpose mud. For finishing mud I typically go a little lighter
Well shoot. Thought you would cover the wall with patterned plywood! :). As always, your video was fantastic, walking us through the thought process and implementation gracefully and beautifully. Thank you!
Great job Mike. Keep it up. Just on a side note for hanger joist there are specific nails that are used. They are a little smaller in length but are stubbier. Although for the load you have in that room you dont even need them i think. Superb content. Thank you
That was awesome - my wife and I bought a house a year ago and I’m so excited to start doing work like this. We’re about to embark on converting a basement bedroom into my office. I’m going to watch your wasted space to home office video next. Do you have plans for that rolling chop saw stand? Just bought myself a chop saw. Great vids. 😊
With the Glowforge, maybe expand on the patterned plywood by engraving 'impossible' plywood patterns into pieces that can go between other patterned pieces. Must be something there (and not just in my head!)
watching you assemble the shelves is pure comedy. i do not film myself but now i see what i look like working solo. i actually use spring clamps or any other style and clamp them where the bottom of the shelf will be, holds everything in place while i attach. another great vid! thanks
This came up on autoplay after I was watching some videos on shelving. Kept watching and glad I did, especially once you mentioned living in WA. Liked and subbed!
I LOVE it! I am a serious shelf and storage freak. Those shelves were delicious! And the upper part? SERIOUSLY cool! I LIKE lofts! And the bins? I do bins. I hate dusting. Bins are DA BOMB! YAS!
@Michael, I have found that using my impact driver to drive the tap-con screws into concrete has been more reliable. I agree they can be tempermental with just a screw-driver
That's a dream space. Hard for anyone to be productive when we're all drowning in a sea of crapola. My hat is off to you. BTW, the notching at 13:20 made sense to maximize space. I like the "triangle shelves" minimal material with great strength. I wasn't sure why you didn't notch the shelves on there too since now you'll have a 3 1/2 inch gap at the back of the shelf where things would slip down. 16:01
I've seen you on other makers channels (Bourbon Moth comes to mind) and decided to watch as the algorithm suggested this. I like what you do, and you got a new sub.
Wow! This is awesome. Looks amazing! I am thinking of making such storage on the attic of the house I am building right now and those shelves are awesome. They will fit for sure. Thank you for inspiration and explaining all this stuff in details. Cheers!
This was just fabulous. I have always been so curious as to how much something like that costs. Can you or any other carpenter share that, and yes I know it is based on the current prices of wood? Thanks for posting, just beautiful.
I just bought some heavy duty shelf brackets for my garage and basement storage. They were 30 dollars each. I needed 84 of them for the entire project. I should have went with plywood triangles.
That's very nice storage but for those hanging shelf i personally would do notces so it goes little deeper to the wall, maby all the way to the back, but i guess it's not important since there is only storage boxes. That storage room makes whole space look a lot bigger.
Nice storage space, Michael. I feel your pain on the cost of plywood. I have a few sheets of 5x5x1/2 baltic birch that I paid $35 for a couple of years ago and now they are $100. Bill
It sounds like that room you were in at the end (with the Glowforge) has a feedback tone of 564 Hz. I don't know why I felt you needed to know, but here we are.
Nice job, brother. Fellow Seattleite here. Just discovered your channel - I dig your vids, your presentation style, your editing pace, your content delivery method. I too am a content creator (not yt) so I know how long something like this can take to put together. Looks great! Excited to watch more!
Great video! As you were building it, I thought it would have been sick to not drywall it in. Looks really cool that way, but I understand it's nice having enclosed storage away from work/dust.
Great video! Carpentry is super zen to watch and I loooove organizing. I constantly optimize my small hand tool woodworking shop so i can fit electronics and even sowing and leatherwork in there too. Good thing it's only a hobby, I wouldn't make a living from just reorganizing my own workshop 😄
nice project bit you really should have supported the end of thst rim joist where it met the other. The short one has no support under it. And you have a double floor joist straddling it. Just a storage area but still bad juju. Take a minute and put a stud underneath it. Overall it turned out great!
Thanks for sharing! Lots of good ideas. I noticed that your untreated floor plate was placed directly on concrete. Pretty sure that should have been a treated 2x4.
To critique a bit :P But you could totally put a sliding place of a swinging door, and tuck it behind the giant metal cabinet. Would be a nice space saver and have it aesthetically cohesive with some kumiko wood pattern or plywood designs on it.
Is that me or the door knob is at knee height? You could have saved plywood on the shelves for the plastic containers, the containers have a solid bottom, they could lay on a couple of 2x2.
This is very unrelated to this video but I saw this video and this is my first vid that I've ever seen of yours and at the end of the video, I figured to myself that this guy's video style is pretty good and that you must have a decent number of subs. So I thought for a second and guessed 417k and scrolled down what in the hell...you have 417k. That's gotta be a lucky number right?
Really nice build but I have a question. On the back wall (where the 2x6 was short) why didn't you make the seam over the vertical 2x6? ..where you put the double 2x6 floor joist. I believe that double is in fact depending on sheer strength of the rim joist screws in the wall and not compressive strength of vertical 2x6.
I wondered the same, but I think the vertical studs are attached to other vertical studs on the other side of the wall. Where the seam landed was probably just drywall with no support behind it.
I like how you show those honest moments of a project (you putting together shelves) where you try something out, then realize there’s a more efficient way of doing something. My favorite part of projects!
Man thank you for explaining general concepts like shear strength vs compressive strength. Those basics (which us non craftsman are not familiar with) are super useful concepts to define and put examples with. 🙂

what is the solution for #2?
Hey Jeremy! All good suggestions. I totally spaced on the pressure treat.
@@bs838 install the hangers on the joist you are hanging first and then attach to your beam, will allow you to ensure they are flush at the top
@@_Thundrix great tip. Thanks!

Tip on fastening the bottom plate to concrete. If you drill a hole the same size as the nail you want to use then place a piece of tie wire in the hole ( it can be longer than the nail it doesn’t matter) then hammer the nail in. It’s crazy strong. Try it
Wow! This is amazing! What a way to organize and reclaim space. Looking forward to the office build. Great job 👍
I also live in the greater Seattle area and suffer from all the tree pollen. I can't cut lumber without a face mask, even outdoors. I love your shelf design. I might steal it. I've been considering building a similar storage room at the back of my 2 car garage to separate my woodworking shop from all our other tools. Then I can add storage to the other side of the wall for woodworking tools. I wish I had that much ceiling height in my garage. Also, wetting drywall tape can cause it to bubble later down the road. Mix water in the mud instead.
Design and construction advice: The inner studs 2x6.. It would have been structurally sound with 2x2!
As long as they can not bend (which they can’t when screwed to the wall) they give more than enough support to whatever you manage to store upstairs! 😉
Kind regards

Even pre mixed mud needs water added fyi. It’ll make it so much easier for you. Box or bucket I take a yellow sponge dip it and squeeze it out in the mud. A 5 gallon bucket I like 2’full squeeze of the sponge, a box of mud I do 1-1.5. For all purpose mud. For finishing mud I typically go a little lighter
Good to know!
Well shoot. Thought you would cover the wall with patterned plywood! :). As always, your video was fantastic, walking us through the thought process and implementation gracefully and beautifully. Thank you!
Wow great idea. I just moved into a new space and have clutter on the back wall of the garage. I'll be taking a page out of your book for that.
Great job Mike. Keep it up. Just on a side note for hanger joist there are specific nails that are used. They are a little smaller in length but are stubbier. Although for the load you have in that room you dont even need them i think. Superb content. Thank you
That was awesome - my wife and I bought a house a year ago and I’m so excited to start doing work like this. We’re about to embark on converting a basement bedroom into my office. I’m going to watch your wasted space to home office video next.
Do you have plans for that rolling chop saw stand? Just bought myself a chop saw.
Great vids. 😊
With the Glowforge, maybe expand on the patterned plywood by engraving 'impossible' plywood patterns into pieces that can go between other patterned pieces. Must be something there (and not just in my head!)
watching you assemble the shelves is pure comedy. i do not film myself but now i see what i look like working solo. i actually use spring clamps or any other style and clamp them where the bottom of the shelf will be, holds everything in place while i attach. another great vid! thanks
I love my glowforge, the one big thing that took me the most getting used to was you need to use Ilistrator instead of photoshop.
That's good to know! Fortunately, I'm fairly comfortable in illustrator.
This came up on autoplay after I was watching some videos on shelving. Kept watching and glad I did, especially once you mentioned living in WA. Liked and subbed!
Trying Picnic for the wife. First time ever a UA-cam sponsor has got my attention.
I LOVE it! I am a serious shelf and storage freak. Those shelves were delicious! And the upper part? SERIOUSLY cool! I LIKE lofts! And the bins? I do bins. I hate dusting. Bins are DA BOMB! YAS!
A lot of good tips that I can use as I build out my own tiny shop! Those construction string lights are a win!
@Michael, I have found that using my impact driver to drive the tap-con screws into concrete has been more reliable. I agree they can be tempermental with just a screw-driver
My favourite part was 22:41 the door handle height because it was a pre hung door & frame😆
Other than that absolutely beautiful job👏🏼
I bought the lighting you used for the storage room as soon as you finished explaining it.
Hahaha! They’re awesome!
The fumble at 12:25 woulda pissed me right off. You're a better man than me
That's a dream space. Hard for anyone to be productive when we're all drowning in a sea of crapola. My hat is off to you.
BTW, the notching at 13:20 made sense to maximize space. I like the "triangle shelves" minimal material with great strength. I wasn't sure why you didn't notch the shelves on there too since now you'll have a 3 1/2 inch gap at the back of the shelf where things would slip down. 16:01
Same thing occurred to me, but I suppose if he's just putting those plastic tubs on the shelves, there's nothing that could even fall down the back
Truly impressive. Great job visualizing everything before the build and succeeding in getting the job done.
Those triangle bracket shelves are dope.
I've seen you on other makers channels (Bourbon Moth comes to mind) and decided to watch as the algorithm suggested this. I like what you do, and you got a new sub.
Wow! This is awesome. Looks amazing! I am thinking of making such storage on the attic of the house I am building right now and those shelves are awesome. They will fit for sure. Thank you for inspiration and explaining all this stuff in details. Cheers!
should add a few steps / stair on the outer wall of the room to super quick access above the room.
This was just fabulous. I have always been so curious as to how much something like that costs. Can you or any other carpenter share that, and yes I know it is based on the current prices of wood? Thanks for posting, just beautiful.
Probably $1,000 bucks. 2x4s aren't that expensive. The plywood & the door was the most
@@stoneyj1a1 thank you so much
So I've never watched your channel before, but I just wanted to say I immediately subscribed upon seeing your art, it's amazing!
Glowforge, so jealous!!! Enjoy it, can’t wait to see what you make!!!
I just bought some heavy duty shelf brackets for my garage and basement storage. They were 30 dollars each. I needed 84 of them for the entire project. I should have went with plywood triangles.
I have that same Milwaukee circular saw love it.
That's very nice storage but for those hanging shelf i personally would do notces so it goes little deeper to the wall, maby all the way to the back, but i guess it's not important since there is only storage boxes. That storage room makes whole space look a lot bigger.
Great job. It's soooo great to have a clean, neat space. Some day I might have one. :). Love those lights. I'll be ordering those today.
Nice storage space, Michael. I feel your pain on the cost of plywood. I have a few sheets of 5x5x1/2 baltic birch that I paid $35 for a couple of years ago and now they are $100.

Wow idk how I was able to witness this video… MAGNIFICENT….I’m surely in need of an office 😆and have completely run out of space😂..
First video of yours I've seen Michael. I'm in, subscribed and off to see what else you've done. Great project. Thanks
This video makes me want to frame a room (or a house), even though I have very limited experience. It's fun.
It sounds like that room you were in at the end (with the Glowforge) has a feedback tone of 564 Hz. I don't know why I felt you needed to know, but here we are.
Hahaha! Yeah the acoustics will need some work
Nice job, brother. Fellow Seattleite here. Just discovered your channel - I dig your vids, your presentation style, your editing pace, your content delivery method. I too am a content creator (not yt) so I know how long something like this can take to put together. Looks great! Excited to watch more!
Great video! As you were building it, I thought it would have been sick to not drywall it in. Looks really cool that way, but I understand it's nice having enclosed storage away from work/dust.
*The workshop looks great 🤗*
Ah man, I see an Adam Savage toolbox poster. Great taste, and great video!
Lol that look when you come back from the store. That resonates
Great video! Carpentry is super zen to watch and I loooove organizing. I constantly optimize my small hand tool woodworking shop so i can fit electronics and even sowing and leatherwork in there too. Good thing it's only a hobby, I wouldn't make a living from just reorganizing my own workshop 😄
for secure thing to the concrete a ramset is good too
22:55 Make sure to keep those ski boots buckled when storing.
Watching you frame the walls reminded me of building a very specific dinosaur 🦖🔥 Can't wait to see how you design the office
great idea! did anyone mention that he was supposed to use pressure treated 2x4s for the bottom ones?
i have been looking for a garage storage diy and this is perfect thank you for sharing
nice project bit you really should have supported the end of thst rim joist where it met the other. The short one has no support under it. And you have a double floor joist straddling it. Just a storage area but still bad juju. Take a minute and put a stud underneath it.
Overall it turned out great!
Thanks for this video. I have been looking for a lighting solution for my basement.
Awesome build, a joy to watch and I picked up a good number of tips, thanks for sharing... BTW, why the hobbit door handle?
Thanks for sharing! Lots of good ideas. I noticed that your untreated floor plate was placed directly on concrete. Pretty sure that should have been a treated 2x4.
Interior structure walls don’t need them where I’m from.
is is sturdy enough?
To critique a bit :P But you could totally put a sliding place of a swinging door, and tuck it behind the giant metal cabinet.
Would be a nice space saver and have it aesthetically cohesive with some kumiko wood pattern or plywood designs on it.
Wow. Great construction details. Thank you, Michael.
This makes me want to go out and make a room myself. Watching this was so satisfying. Awesome!
Is that me or the door knob is at knee height? You could have saved plywood on the shelves for the plastic containers, the containers have a solid bottom, they could lay on a couple of 2x2.
I was also wondering about the doorknob.
Fantastic improvement! Looking forward to the office build!
This is very unrelated to this video but I saw this video and this is my first vid that I've ever seen of yours and at the end of the video, I figured to myself that this guy's video style is pretty good and that you must have a decent number of subs. So I thought for a second and guessed 417k and scrolled down what in the hell...you have 417k. That's gotta be a lucky number right?
Really nice build but I have a question. On the back wall (where the 2x6 was short) why didn't you make the seam over the vertical 2x6? ..where you put the double 2x6 floor joist. I believe that double is in fact depending on sheer strength of the rim joist screws in the wall and not compressive strength of vertical 2x6.
I wondered the same, but I think the vertical studs are attached to other vertical studs on the other side of the wall. Where the seam landed was probably just drywall with no support behind it.
