In this tutorial we will walk through the process of building closet shelving. The shelves are built using plywood and pine boards. You can find the downloadable plans here:
This is a weekend project and the cost to build the shelves was $278.00. I found similar closet shelves at the store and online for between $650 - $900, so building them myself saved quite a bit of money.

I would love a set of Jack Clamps! Having a bad back and working by myself, these would make life much easier!
We can all appreciate the conveniently placed OSHA approved stool. Great stuff! I have to do 2 of these and a walk in closet soon.
Love the flying at the end. I miss flying - retired now.
I would love jack clamps! I didn't even know they existed. I wish I had known a few weeks ago when I dropped a wall cabinet shell on my foot, breaking it. My foot, not the cabinet. I built the cabinet like a boss.
Your back!!! Don’t ever leave again!! You make the best videos hands down! Keep it up!
Hey Malvin! Great to hear from you, I hope all is going well man! Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. Always feels good to get a new video up. Cheers from Montana!
Oh yeah, those clamps would help me out a lot lol
Awesome! @@bronzekid1
Its cool to diy when you have all the tools to complete Nice work. Deon South Africa
Hi Deon! It certainly takes time to build up a tool inventory, hope yours is growing too and take care! @@deontaljaard2908
Love the project!
I recommend cutting the shelving depth back about 3/4" and using some 1x material to make the faces instead of the banding. Make the faces a little wider than the plywood and it really gives it a lot of extra strength!
You bet, great idea! Cheers!
That's a good alternative, especially for display shelves where you have that front strip slightly
higher to stop things from slipping off the shelf.
What a cool project!! And I would love those clamps! I'm a stay at home mom who often does projects when my husband is at work and kids are in school.... so I'm by myself! These clamps would be SO handy since I work alone! What a wonderful gift to someone!
Thanks! Great to hear from you, and that is great you tackle so many projects :) Hope all is going well!
I love the project. I would also love these clamps. I am often working on dyi projects alone.
Those jack clamps are fantastic. As a female that loves to do woodworking and having had both shoulders replaced leaving me without the ability to raise my arms above my head, these are a game changer. This is a great invention.
Thanks, I love the clamps too!
Hey Pete so I downloaded and printed out your closet design and made modifications to my sons closet and let me tell you it worked out great and looks amazing. I just wanted to thank you for the video and creating a closet that was easy to put together and modify.
Great instructional video. Just started woodworking...looking forward to more videos
Thanks Pete. I watched this video a while back. Think I'm going to get my son's room organized now. You built a very simple, stylish, but functional unit. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great to hear!!
First time home owner. So doing tons of DIY stuff around this house you can imagine how handy those jack clamps would be! Such a great idea! This video also inspired me to build some shelving for our closets now!!
Awesome, and congrats on the new home!!
Thank you so much for this video. My elderly mother lives with me and I am going to do her closet. Wish me luck as I am new to saws, clamps and such but I am going to give it my best shoot.
Best of luck!
Pete, you have contributed so much to my falling in love with woodworking. It all started with your backyard bar video. Now, a couple years later, I’m getting commissioned jobs and bringing in additional income to support my family. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming!
Hey Dan, thanks so much for the kind words. Absolutely great to hear from you and I'm so glad to have played a small role in getting you into woodworking. Congrats on building the side business as well. Keep up the good work!
I’m a woodworking beginner and trying build my tool catalog and these clamps would be an amazing addition. Glad to see another video from you! Thanks
Cool!
I enjoy how you simplify the projects on you tube, it gives me the confidence to try them myself, thanks.
Thanks Ricardo, I love how you are taking action on the projects, keep it up!
Nice Job! First thing I thought when you showed those clamps was “where did you get them”.
Man those would be so helpful to use around the non-profit I work at.
Awesome to hear!
Great job, I love those clamps because of the lift and lock idea, especially for an old guy like me. ☺
Thanks!
Beautiful closet I love to get a pair of those Jack clamp I'm trying to build closet light at 2
I like the floating closet concept, it's really inspiring DYI's to think out of the box and come up with some creative wood working ideas.
Thanks!
Love your videos DIY Pete! I watched your wine rack and cedar cooler vids about 100 times.
I made that cedar ice cooler for my moms birthday, and a friend of mine who’s a realtor here in Tennessee loved the wine rack I made based on your video so much she had me make about 10 of them to give as house warming gifts.
I’m now starting on making a coffee table, and shop cabinets. Which those jack clamps gave me a great idea to redo my kitchen cabinets.
I will definitely be getting me a set of those.
Great to hear from you! Keep up the great work, that is awesome you've built those projects!
As a new wood worker, I have to do most things by myself, (including learning how to use all these tools I know little about!). These Jack Clamps would be amazing as the second set of hands I need! As always, another great video. :)
Thanks Sheelah! Great to hear from you!
It is a great and very informative video. New to wood working as well.
I would love a set of those jack clamps. I hadn’t seen those before. Last December I had a upper cabinet drop when trying to mount it and sliced my finger requiring 4 stitches. This probably would have saved me a trip to the ER
I very much enjoy your videos and look forward to more. That said here is my pitch. As a woodworker and family handyman and the father to 3 young (all in their 20s) men, that are all starting their first households. I am always on call and in demand to fix or replace or build something in one or more households. I can honestly say "I promise to use the fire out of these Jack Clamps, if I should be so luck as to win them." Good luck to all that enter and thank Pete, Lowell and Brian for this opportunity for someone to win a set of these handy clamps.
Hey James! Great to hear from you! So awesome!
I would really like them for my dad, I'm away for college so theses would be perfect for him to give him an extra hand when I'm not there. I really like this idea for the closet organization and might make my own interpretation of it for my closet, great work!
thank you for blurring out the stool. my kids were watching this with me.
@Gerandy I Dont stand on stools, grab a ladder!
Hahahahahhaha!
The things you need to think about when you are a parent. Incredible.
Lol
I was wondering why it was blurry.
Safety first, ... right after speed?
😂 close call
Because I can't afford good clamps good clamps on Canada are 50 bucks
$50? Cheap !!! Those jack clamps at Rona would be like $75 each
You can use a ratchet strap
I can’t tell you how many projects I’ve attempted on my own where the jack clamps would have been a life saver. Love the closet units in this video. I have two daughters that could use this makeover in their closets. Christmas gift idea.
Thank so much! Hope all is well!
Loved yet another one of your AMAZING projects!!! The jack clamps would come so handy for my husband and I as we are in the process of redoing our kitchen ourselves. Just FYI we'll be making our own concrete countertops following your concrete countertop video and I'm SUPER excited to get started on this project. Keep the videos coming PLEASE....you are truly an inspiration!
Great to hear from you Claudia! Good luck with the big kitchen renovation. That's exciting! Cheers and thanks so much for the kind words.
dude, please use a real ladder
Thanks Joe! Definitely should have, I think I was lazy and didn't want to go out and grab it in the shed, but will next time. Hope all is well!
@@DIYPETE it made me scared for you - take care
Thanks, Great to hear from ya!@@aubandjoe1778
Store s ladder in your new closet! Safety first.
For real Pete!! I swore that stool was going to slide out. Safety 1st my friend!
I learn a lot by watching this video. I just moved into a new home and this video help me increase the space in my closets. I enjoy doing as much as I can myself in my new home.
Great to hear and congrats on the new home!
Pete, as always, I love the new tutorial! I have made the wooden cooler stand, my new concrete countertops for my kitchen and now plan to make this killer closet upgrade as well! I almost always work alone so the jack clamps would be a huge help to me! I'll tell you what, if you get me those clamps, I will make my first UA-cam video ever showing how great they are. Thanks again, Pete!
Great to hear from you! All sounds great Nicholas, cheers!
Wow tools to hold up the cabinets are awesome. My husband is 67 years old and he tries to build what we need in the house those would help him a lot .i really love what you just built in your closet magnificent job.i’ll keep watching
Thanks Ivette, hope all is well!
Pete! Good to see an upload again and an update on the place!! Love what you're doing!
Thanks JP!
Would love a set of these clamps. I do alot of building, renos etc and I am usually working alone and need to always figure out a way to have a second set of hands to hold things while I fasten. Just designing a new closet layout at the moment. This one was exactly what I was thinking. Nice job!
I need this closet, tools and plywood!!!!! Beautiful 👏👏👏
I like the jack clamps, what a great set of helping tools, that makes DIY projects easy and convenient. 👨🏽🔧🛠
This is an excellent project I've been waiting to see. I can't wait to get started.
As a lady Builder and often flying solo those Jack Clamps would definitely come in handy !!
Great to hear from you!
Pete thanks for the awesome videos! I'd like to throw my name out there for the jack clamps because I'm 25 and have been remodeling my own house for the last two and a half years now. My wife is expecting any time now with our first child and now that a lot of my remodel projects are wrapping up I'm wanting to get into doing more wood working and building stuff for our new little girl, but being a full time student now has cut my budget quite a bit from what it was and clamps are something that I'm actually lacking. I remodeled our nursery this summer knowing that we would need it do be done in November. Having amazing hard wood floors from the early 40's I decided to sand them down and refinish them, but because of that I had to rip out the old closet shelving since they rested on the floor. This video was very inspirational and I can't wait to build the closet shelves for my wife and new little baby Nora!
Hi Ethan! Congrats on the new little one on the way. How exciting! Sounds like you've been busy renovating the home and that it has come a long ways. I bet that is rewarding. All sounds great and thanks for taking the time to check out the video and to say hi! Cheers
Hello Pete I am a 70 year old woman who loves to do projects around the house I can never seem to finish cuz I don't always have that extra pair of hands I would love to have your device that you mentioned in your video to give me a helping hand and I really did enjoy the show thank you very much ,E Watson
I just bought a fixer upper house and most of the work I do is by myself, and a set of those clamps would be a life saver. Thanks for all the great videos.
Congrats on the new fixer upper! We are in the same boat. Keep with it! :)
Great project. Just installed pre-built purchased cabinets for a friend. Wish I had seen your video before hand. Anyway I am 78 years old and can't lift cabinets like I once did so the Jack Clamps would really be an asset in my set of tools. I do a lot of volunteer work for under privileged folks and widows. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hey George, that is fantastic you are doing so many projects and doin the volunteer work. I love it!
Yes finally. A project for my closet to the T! Thanks Pete!
Great to hear from you!
Love watching your videos for ideas on how to setup and/or upgrade different parts of the house... We actually just listed our current place and are looking for a new one, and adding some JackClamps to the tool arsenal would definitely make my job easier whenever we find the new place and the wife wants the work done ASAP... Keep up the great work, Pete!
Great to hear from you Josh!
As soon as I saw the Jack Clamps, I thought to myself, I want some of those! The closet organizer looks like something I would love.
Great to hear Tina!
I'm getting ready to make some closet shelves for my wife and I to surprise her, so this was a well timed and much appreciated video. I've never heard of those jack clamps, but I'm definitely going to have to give them a look because I can think of a hundred times I've wished I had help lifting/holding something in place. Thanks for the recommendation!
Great to hear from you!
Love the project videos! This one gave me a great idea to add storage in my laundry room and a pair of jack clamps would make the project so much easier.
Great to hear!
I like the jack clamps and would like a set. I have used similar clamps for other projects like automotive work but I have never thought of them for my wood working projects. This is truly an innovation and these need to be sold and marketed nationwide. Good job showing the capability of these in your video!
Thanks Mickey! They are truly a great product started by some very down to earth and good guys from here. They are continuing to try and get them out in more places! Cheers!
I was born in Bozeman, raised in Montana. Nice! We had a homemade rink by our house on forty acres. The memories...
Hey Joel! That is awesome, and very cool you had a rink on 40 acres. Hope all is going great!
Really enjoyed this video even though I've built many shelves in many closets. This guy is a master carpenter. Even I was wowed by some of his methods. Great job!
Thanks so much!
Pete, I'm REALLY loving your videos, tips & tricks. This past weekend I made your patio chair - started out with a pine version to make sure I wouldn't mess it up, and it came out great, so thanks for that! I'd LOVE a set of jack clamps - I have to work alone as I'm a single father, but my daughters are at an age where they are too cool to help their old dad :).
That is really cool you are getting your daughters into helping out with woodworking. I love it. Congrats on finishing up with the patio chair Ian!
I just bought your plans !!! Thank u I’m gonna so this at my apartment .... finally someone that have accurate plans or plans in general of the work they do ... so thank u also a subscriber
Thanks so much! Have fun with the build and best of luck!
Great video, love how you simplify the build process. I am a newish DIYer, and work alone in my shop. I love the idea of the jack clamps acting as extra hands.
Great to hear from you!
This clamp is wow!! If I have this, I can work alone. Thanks Pete
Thanks for watching!
Hello fellow Bozemanite! I'm finishing my basement with a full kitchen and those jack clamps look pretty handy for all the shelves and cabinets I'll be installing shortly.
Getting ready to install a full kitchen these clamps would be an awesome addition
Great to hear from you!
Great job. Those jack clamps are awesome.
Awesome Video Pete! I have been following you for about 4 years now. You were a big help with making a dining room table for my wife. And getting me hooked on the Kreg jigs. As for those clamps... What wouldnt I use them for. For a guy that does really have a helping hand yet they would be a great help with all my projects. And my boys would probably love them too... they love using the other clamps around my shop. Now I just need to figure out how to keep them from clamping each other.
That's awesome Derek! Thanks so much for following the channel and taking action on building projects :) Cheers!
because of you i was able to get a game plan for a custom walk in closet. thank you so much for this video.
super easy and cool project!! seeing you building closet shelving made me wanna do the same in my dressing room. i love that you left us a note about the plan.
Thanks!
Great how-to video on something many of us need and would like to build. I especially enjoy seeing all your Cornhusker references as I'm a NE native myself (born and raised). My sons are serving in the Army and Air Force, so I have to manage most of my projects alone. The jack clamps look amazing and would really come in handy. I enjoy all your videos and look forward to seeing more. Thank you.
Hey Jody! Great to hear from a Nebraskan! Thanks for subscribing!
I love this closer layout. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting Mechell, hope all is well!
those jack clamps are an amazing idea, I've been using boxes to hang shelving.
Thanks!
Great build. Once I saw you using the jack clamps I realized this is the next tool I truly need.
Awesome to hear David!
Love the video. My Wife and I just bought a house and are starting renos this week! Starting in each bedroom and this organization tip is going to make our closets have that modern feel.
Would love these clamps! They would help us out a ton. Played at UNC and loved coming down to Bozeman to play MSU. There isn't anything like Big Sky football!
Good luck with the reno Austin, congrats! That's awesome you made it down to Bozeman and played for UNC. Cheers from Big Sky Country Austin! Let me know how the projects go!
The closet looks great. The clamps would be a great addition to any shop. They look so versatile and I’d love to have some. Keep up the great videos
Awesome!
My husband would really love a set of the jack clamps and I would love the closet system. It would be a win-win for both of us! ha!
Love it!
That was really concise, to-the-point and super helpful! Thx!
Glad it was helpful!
Those jack clamps look awesome! I can think of so many things I could do with them as I am always doing DIY projects on my own.
Cool!
I love these closet organizers! I need those jacks since I'm a female weekend wood junkie and am slowly building my tool arsenal they would be such a help in remodeling my daughter's house!
Sounds great!
Great video. I'm planning a closet shelving unit at the moment and this is the best video I've seen so far!!!
Great to hear!
I will be working on some upper cabinets in a couple of weeks. These clamps would be amazing plus looking like a professional. Nice closet. Almost bought a kit that I'm sure my wife would have made me modify. Much easier and perfect fit. Thanks for sharing
Cool!
I would love a pair of those clamps! I just started making my own wood cabinets and this would make installing all of them soo much easier!
Great to hear from you!
👍🏻👍🏻 That Was Not Just Another DIY, It Was Professionally Done By You ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Hey Pete, I started wood working about 3 years you were one of the first videos I came across I have watch every video u put out I’ve built your cooler work bench and table next is kitchen cabinets those jacks clamps would be great for a second hand thanks buddy.
Great to hear from you!
Those clamps are amazing. Even if I don't win I will get them. I'm mapping out building a closet right now and your plans really help me. Thank you!
Great to hear from you!
Wow! This inspires me to redo my closet. I could really use those jack clamps, as I live alone and don’t always have help. Thanks for the inspiration!
Go for it Lisa!
We are going to be building our first set of upper cabinets for our kitchen as the house we just bought for some reason didn't have any. These jack clamps would be perfect for us. And when I say us I mean my hubby since he'll be the primary one trying to install them once built as he doesn't let me lift anything "heavy". Thanks for this awesome built and your cabinet building series. I have them saved under my favorites for reference.
Thanks!
Those jack clamps would come in handy with so many projects around the house. Great video. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for watching Chris!
Wow looks great, even the staining color. I like it much!
Thanks!
Just found this video and as a new home owner those Jack clamps would en awesome
didn't think I was going to like that colour until you installed it in the closet. Totally changed my mind. Great job :)
Thanks!
Have always been interested in the jack clamps ever since i started seeing then on your videos! Really enjoyed thisnon as im getting ready to do the closests in me house! Thanks!
Awesome Michael!
I set up a mudroom using your plans this year. Everyone loved it and it helped sell my old house. I’d love the clamps to help hold things up when I’m working alone on a project
Great to hear from you!
I don't sound as desperate as some other people here... but my wife would love these, like that I don't have to bother her every time I need something hung!
Great video! Good to have you back.
Love it! Hope all is well!
Great vid, as always.
I’d love those innovative Jack-clamps. They would sure beat the wasted time of always trying to rig something up while working alone.
Great to hear from you!
Pro channel Pete! Thanks for sharing with all us fellow DIY'ers out there!!
Thanks!
Those jack clamps are awesome. I find myself always wishing I had a pair. Nice job on the closet.
Great to hear!
These clamps would be perfect for my projects! I'm new to woodworking, but have been looking to build cabinets and I can think of many different ways these would make my job easier.
Awesome Andrew!
Great video! Those clamps are amazing! They would make doing solo woodwork so much easier!
Thanks Nick!
Love the timing of this video...I just finished a Home addition and was looking for design for my closets. Looks like I got one now. Thanks! (Those jack clamps would come in handy!)
Great to hear from you!
Jack hands are like having a 3rd , 4th or even 5th hand. Love em.
Awesome!
Wow! Those jack clamps are awesome! I could of used them when remodeling for my son! I know it would be awesome to have when I remodel our kitchen and finish out our bathrooms! Great video!
Awesome Sam!
Another great Video.Thanks for getting me back into woodworking.Your videos have done that for me.I now have a shop started in the garage and have done a few of the projects.Slowly getting most of the tools i need. Have never seen those clamps before here in Canada, Should would like a set. thanks again Pete keep those videos coming.
Hi Alf, great to hear from you! Cheers!
Wow, you are so thorough, food so helpful, thank you so much. It turned so nice, I’m inspired to tackle our closet now.
I really like this project idea. Those clamps would be of great use for installing cabinets in my kitchen and doing a couple projects in my garage. Thanks for sharing!
Great to hear from you!
I would love a set of jack clamps. Honestly I didn’t even know they existed, there are so many DIY and Reno projects I haven’t been able to do bc I had no one to help me. My wife is always busy having to watch our two babies to help out, plus with two babies, anything free is always helpful as well.
Keep up the great work and good to hear from ya!
Hi Pete, great video. I am currently trying to get my own side business up and running so ideas like this on such a tight budget are great to hopefully help me get things up and running. The clamps are also a great idea as I won’t be able to afford to take on any extra help for the foreseeable future. Your videos are always very inspiring and informative. Keep up the good work!!!
That's great you are building a side business. Best of luck with everything and keep up the good work!
I'm currently working on a small cabin, and space is at a premium. This is exactly what I'll need to organize my storage and save some space! Thanks!
Great to hear from you! Good luck with that cabin. Awesome!!!
first time seeing jack clamps they look like a game changer!
Cool!
This was AMAZING! Wow! Fantastic work!
Great to hear from you!
