In this video I get to check off an item on the "honey-do-list" that is sorely needed in our new house. The pantry is one of the most regularly used and also most neglected areas of any home. I'll be ripping out the gaudy builder-grade wire shelves and replacing them with painted wood shelves and cabinet bases.
I'm also going to be completing this project without a table saw! I haven't got a new one yet but not to worry - I have my Kreg track saw and ACS table. I'll show you just how versatile it is! As a reminder, I have a full build series and plans for the compact workbench you see me use in this video: bit.ly/319qh5i
My wife has dreamed of an organized pantry with neatly stacked containers for all of our food, snacks, and baking supplies. This is my attempt to make that dream a reality! This video represents part 1 of 2 in the build series to complete the pantry. Part 1 includes demo of the existing wire shelves, building the lower cabinet frames, building the 3 upper shelf frames, installing the top/bottom plates on the shelves, and finally adding a distressed butcher block top. Be sure to check out Part 2 of this build series - coming soon!

Definitely, giving me ideas to upgrade my pantry...more & better storage is needed! Can't wait for part two!
Hey Travis. When caulking a right angle joint/gap I lay down the caulk in the corner, use my finger to force it into the gap and then use a 6 inch metal (stainless steel) ruler to finish off, cleaning the ruler with a wet rag as you go. Perfect caulk lines every time 👍
Pretty nice Mr. Travis...looking forward to 2nd installment.
this is an great video. I have the exact same pantry and is on my honey do list. Again, great video. Can't wait for part 2
I need to make the exact same setup for my pantry. Very helpful.
If its in close proximity to the stove you might add a small spice rack to the back of the doors above the counter top. Looks like you have the room in depth. I did this at one of our homes and it was great. Had a single door pantry. Cleared up a cabinet as well to use for other things. Next one I did will have a flat panel with hooks for measuring cups to hang. I need to do this at our current place and it would help use up some scrap wood. I made the last one with curb find ikea bed slats (I had to half lap glue two together to get the length I needed for the whole door). It was a fun free upcycle type project.
Great job looking forward to the future of shop nation 👍🔨
Looks good giving me ideas for my next project. One quick tip that I got from counter top installers is use Windex with vinegar and the caulk will clean off the walls easier and not ruin paint.
I like to use painters tape on each side of my calking lines to leave a clean, straight finish, when I peel it off following the smoothing. Sometimes I will use a calking tool and sometimes the fingers work the best when the tool won't fit. Thank you for the videos! Keep up the good work!
I wasn't immediately sold on the shelf design, but then somewhere between the front moulding and the caulk (a LOT of caulk) it began to look pretty good to me. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it. I hope you can use that space between the cabinets and on each side. The packer in me cannot abide that much unused space.
I love this! I wish I had room to build a closet pantry. We just have this hug cabinet monstrosity in a far too "open concept" layout. Thanks for the video! Looks great!
I have like 1% of your talent and I just did the same thing. I swear we had over 1 mile of wire shelving. It was driving me NUTS! Great job!
Nice work! Yup, most of my projects go into multiple weekends or days.
Have you considered possibly building in a slide out step stool for the top shelf in the cabinet bottom.
Used your Video with some slight modifications and transformed my wife’s large wire shelf pantry into a pantry she is tickled with, working by myself in about five days. She did help me paint. Wish I could attach a before and after photo.
Glad you got the supervisor's approval at 2:25 :)
I am hampered by back issues but work on projects anyway. I wouldn’t be able to work on the ground like that but that doesn’t stop me. Great job! I, too, am building a pantry in a closet we don’t use for anything except a lot of clutter. I always start with a drawn out plan on graphic paper.
Top class work as always.
Excellent start👍🏻. I did some similar to these a while back. One thing I thought of before starting work was use a Family Size Cheerios box to get my shelf heights lol. It worked great. I’ve never had anything too big to fit on my shelves. Keep up the great work bro👍🏻
Agreed! I did the same thing for the lower shelf
Now I know part 2 is up and I haven't watched it yet lol but, the space left over on the right and left of the lowers are great spots to store cutting boards and baking racks, trays. Excellent work as always
*Off to buy those studfinders as I hate our studfinder. This was a very good instructional video! Definitely bookmarking for when I decide to redo our pantry.
Caulking tips. #1-- get an expensive caulking gun. You wont regret it.
#2-- cut the caulking tip to match the gap being filled. Small gaps are easier if you cut the tip clear out at the end and work your way back.
#3-- load the caulk tube. Slide the rod against the tube. Squeeze trigger til caulk appears. Hit the release button. Now with the release button pushed squeeze the handle all the way back. Hold it there and release the release button. Now,,, only allow the handle to release about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way out then squeeze again slowly. This gives you 100% more control over the gun AND the caulking flow. Hope this helps!!
This is great, thank you!
Nice Corvette!😀
This is excellent. I think you do awesome work and show that you dont have to have expensive equipment to get great work done. I would have personally at least patched the holes in the back to try and keep small pest from coming through them especially for a pantry where there is a food source. That is just me though
Looking good... love that t shirt
Looks good
Looks good! At least you have a pantry; we’re considering an addition for ours...
Smart one
I'm gonna do something like this in my pantry but put shiplap up in there. Great job and I subscribed to the channel
Use painters tape to tape your caulk lines. Caulk, smooth and immediately pull off tape for clean crisp lines.
This is a damn good idea!
At least there was light in there already. . .
Also, it is good to have help with the sanding.
Learning lots of basics in this build, I'm sure this will be a honey do for me eventually too! P.S. StudBuddy for life, love that little guy ✌️
been meaning to put up some shelves like this for about 4 months
I just subscribed to the most useful channel!
Take a multitool and "dent" those nail holes. Will make patching much easier.
The handle of a screwdriver works good to dimple the holes
The best take-home I got from this vid is the stud finder. That is a brilliant idea (and, agreed.. those voodoo ones are rubbish). Great vid, Travis. Keep 'em coming
I immediately went to amazon and put two in the cart.
Ugh, all the houses in Florida had those wire racks. When I bought my house, back in Oklahoma, all the shelving in the new construction house, were wood. (2007) I was a network administrator for a company that did commercial and residential homes (Royal Pro Builders/Royal Concrete Concepts) and they did those cheap wire shelves in all the houses.
That is an awesome pantry. I can’t show this vid to my wife because we don’t have a pantry, or the space for one like that. Lol.
I really hope you plug those holes in the wall behind the cabinets because I’m sure your wife is like mine and hates spiders. Those holes look like perfect “doorways” for spiders to get in. Or a draft of some kind.
Still jealous about the pantry. Good work.
Ummmmm......thank you for the StudBuddy!!! I never knew that existed, just placed the order on amazon!!!
I know you’re not done but you have the option to spread out the cabinets and make a pull out thin center
Or just leave the gap for cookie trays ‘n things like that.
I just did this same thing to my master bath closet
LOL... and I thought I was the only one who sucked at caulking! Good job!
Looks very nice, simple and clean. FYI, I wonder if you pushed either cabinet to the sides you’d open a spot for additional shelves, drawers, or for cans!
I did this to my pantry recently. Consider adding electrical outlets or a water faucet at counter level. I put my espresso machine, mixer, & toaster oven on the pantry counter so having outlets accessible and a filtered water spout really come in handy.
Such a good idea!
Nice! My OCD wants those cabinets under the butcher block spaced more evenly... I’m sure you have a reason for the funky spacing, as I think your OCD must have been bugging you about it too... We remodeled our walk-in pantry with unistrut and 3/4” plywood. My husband knows I change my mind and reorganize the pantry too often to lock into a shelf height. It has a nice combination of homey-wood and industrial look to it. Those shelves don’t even think about sagging under any of the weight we’ve piled on them. We didn’t take the extra steps of repainting the walls, but should have. I foresee us doing that one day soon - when the pantry isn’t so full, lol!
Yes there is a reason, I'll explain it in the next video!
"We did that for a reason, because I knew it would make for a better 'before' shot for this video...." 🤣 😅 🤣
Much easier to paint the whole wall first then put up the shelves and touch up paint.
I just built extra storage rack for the inside of the door from 1 X 4s. Mounted with hollow door metal screw in anchors
So Timely ! - Laundry Room rebuild (had a fire in there last year - no, not the lint filter.....but it was the dryer......stupid dryer) so now that the cold is arriving it's time to finish the job floor up.
... Need part 2! (gotta see your final result for inspiration !!)
Thanks for the reminder that you don't need the full shop to do this stuff, I keep letting shop build tasks get int he way of project builds rather than listening to that little voice telling me I don't have to do that.
A quick tip for patching small holes in drywall/sheetrock. Save yourself some time and elbow grease. Just grab a hammer, make a quick hit/dimple at each of the holes left by the clips etc. Then apply mud. When dry, sand, paint and you're done. Much better result with less work.
I’ve HEARD of this before, but I don’t follow. Aren’t you making a bigger hole to fill with the hammer? Would you mind elaborating?
Just put a shallow dimple where the nail or screw hole is. It's quicker then sanding the paper that's sticking out when you remove the screw erc
@@tedkowalik2934 Ah! So it’s just to keep from having to deal with the paper sticking out. Gotcha! Thanks for the response!
I wish my pantry was this big.
I LOVE seeing your little helper!
I need to know what that little t square's name/brand is. I want one
Key is to use a wet sponge after going over the caulk joint with your finger.
Great tip, thanks
New subscriber and I truly appreciate your work and you posting this! I picked up that stud finder yesterday bc the other 3 janky ones seem to never get the job done. Either way thanks!!!! Is there a plan for this build? I’m a novice and I keep rewinding but still having difficulties with knowing what I need! I got my 2x2 yesterday to start the wall mounts… didn’t want to get anything else without being sure!!! Please help
Since you asked for comments, I have 2. One, nice to know there is someone else who can't do caulking! I hate it! Two, I think I would have pushed the two cabinets together and off to one side to create a storage space beside it. With the 2 cabinets in the middle with space between, you are wasting valuable storage space for something vertical. Nice video!
I really enjoy the content in all your videos. I am in the process of adding a pantry to our kitchen (honey-do list item for me as well), and have struggled with the size…….until i happened across this great video of yours although it is a couple years old now. What is the height, width, and depth of your pantry? I really appreciate all you do and appreciate your time. Happy New Year.
hahahaha voodoo meters..... couldn't agree more
What a great addition to your house in your pantry dude. That is slick !!!!
I hate those big box store wire shelving racks with a passion. I redid all of the closets in my home with Elfa shelving from The Container Store. Fantastic looking product, extremely heavy-duty yet very attractive and rapidly installed and removed cleanly if needed. Their designers come up with a custom package to meet your needs and if they change they’re easily modified. Expensive but unlike other options you have the ability to take it with you if you move. I believe they will last several lifetimes too. Wife acceptance factor very high.
Wondering why didn’t you make your lower cabinets large enough to fill the entire space? It looks like you have quite a bit of dead space on either end. Otherwise great job with the layout.
Approved
You need a car cover for the 'vette :D I see it was covered in sawdust! Great video though :)
Are you going to put up under mount LED light strips on the shelves?
Maybe add back in a spice rack on the side wall, maybe out of scrap wood?
Great video. How much of a span is that for the shelves? I’m going to build similar shelves at 81” long. I’m debating whether or not to add center support.
since using open back cabs prob shoulda patched the wall holes...but maybe youre putting a false back so that would cover those. Look great so far though!
something i learned: unless you on taking the pantry doors off and having the pantry always viewable, cabinet doors behind the pantry doors is redundant and somewhat annoying after a while.
I honestly didnt care if they was folding they dishes the Thumbnail had me!!!
I'm thinking of doing the same shelves in my pantry. The span is 70" and I was thinking of a 16" wide shelf. Question. Would I need a brace in the middle of will it be solid without it. I will be putting can goods etc on the shelves.
Pro tip, cut your Caulk tip as small as possible it'll help make less of a mess!
That's good advice! Also, skip the painters tape and use a big sponge and a bucket of water to clean up the excess caulk. It's fast and effective.
great video. qq: why not paint before you install the shelves? :-)
Any chance you can make a video about how you create your videos? How to edit, change speed, add text and voice over. I really enjoy your videos
Great work! You’re wife’s gotta be 6ft tall lol, tall shelves in that pantry.
I'm so relieved that you knew to pull the nails out first. I've removed several of these wire shelf systems from my house and even when you pull the nails first the holes are pretty nasty. I shudder to think how ragged your pantry would have been if you did it the hard way.
which polyurethane did you use for this project? want to protect some chairs we have but dont know a good option.
Haha the bosslady have a fit with all that sawdust on her Vette? Wasnt exactly sure why you added the bottom boards to the shelves other than you wanted it to look like floaters... also not sure what the purpose of caulking was unless its for esthetics? Lookks like it for rhat top shelf you should build a cool fold down step for better access
But how do you cut straight with your jigsaw. Mine curves a second after starting.
This came out really nice! I just did a pantry makeover on my channel! Hope you have a great weekend! 💕🎨 Maria
I have a pantry that’s half the size, with the bonus of a staircase running behind it, so that it slants inward from about two feet off the floor to the top. The wire shelving gives me gas every time I look at it, so I’m trying to figure out a way to improve it. I got an idea or two here, so thank you, Travis. Looking forward to seeing the finished work.
Travis, I'm following your lead to make shelves and cabinets for my walk-in closet... I'm curious why you didn't make one-piece shelves and cabinets instead of separate pieces?
What kind of wood did you use for the cabinet lols good !
Looking good. Are you going to fill the toe-kick with a drawer?
do you know anything about Back Splashes or Crates to put your Garbage Bins inside so it doesn't blow after away
STOP STOP STOP the video!!! This is the first I'm seeing of that GAWD AWFUL ORANGE!! GO DAWGS!!!! haha Great channel!!
Very informative video as always. Quick question. Did the 2x2 on the ends hit a stud or did you support them a different way?
combination of studs and wall anchors
What nails did you use to support the shelving system?
I'm fresh off installing a new pantry at my house.. 2 minutes in this video and I sense dissatisfaction with my project. Re-re-do coming in hot.
out of curiosity, what did you use lumber wise for your build?
The critical point is in the middle of each shelf when under a heavy load. Any problems so far with sagging?
What is the distance from top of cabinet to the bottom of the first shelf? Plus what is the distance between each shelf? How deep are each shelf
What kind of plywood was used? Pine or Sande? Did you have to sand it? Did you apply any sort of polyurethane?
Any plans for the cabinet build?
Great video! Only problem is that my wife wants the same thing… Two quick newbie questions: how strong are shelves made this way? Our pantry shelves have to hold a ton of weight from appliances and canned goods. Also, what is the purpose of the caulking? Is it just an aesthetic?
I agree my brother keep trying to give me wire shelves and I'm like no I don't want it. That is much better.
Good thing you could still rent the anterior half of the pantry that was left without shelves. I think I could live there with my wife and dogs, enough space left to add a bunk bed, toilet and a little kitchen.
Love the channel and you have tought me a lot! I would like to ask, what advice would you give to a small UA-cam channel?
Keep grinding
@@ShopNation appreciate that response bro! Won’t stop!!!!!
Any dimensions for the cabinets? I basically have the same exact pantry
BTW I like your Car
Space those bottom cabinets apart so you can add in some wine bottle storage....... the wife will thank you!
Travis, why didn't you make the cabinets a full top to floor unit instead of 2 halves?
You could have made the top shelves wider than the originals, Really what was the point .Good tips on cabinets thou,
Nice job,
