- In today's video I will be showing you how I've just completely transformed my tool store from a chaotic mess to an organised tidy space with the help of some boltless racking and shelving.
My tool storage has been in a complete mess for some time now, and so I finally decided to sort it all out a few days ago, and have transformed the cellar where I keep all my tools with boltless racking and shelving systems from Big Dug.

#shelving #racking #tools
I have had a shop in my basement for over 40 years... done a complete clean-up numerous times and each time I look at some materials or parts that I had kept for YEARS and thought, "This is taking up space, I'm finally tossing it". And each time it seems like I came up with a perfect need for it AFTER it was gone.... never fails!
Good video. I never understood why this type of storage shelving doesnt have adjustable legs as standard. It would make things far easier.
Issue with those bins is dust and transportation. I put parts and fixings etc in Stanley sortmaster and fatmax organisers and tools in Makita makpak boxes. No right way though, what works for you is right. Thanks for the vid.
Yep, and also over time, you're gonna find cobwebs, spider moults and other insect casings; as you reach for a screw.
In a workshop I agreed as that's where you make the sawdust. In a cellar it would be better if it's all just storage
Agree. I use clear plastic "very handy" boxes with snap on lids. See whats in it before you open it, not open to anything, mounted on scafflold board shelving.
I did exactly this - sorted out my disaster area (worse than yours) and solved it initially with some Big Dug shelving. (I did varnish mine incidentally.) Then what happened was that the shelving became a lazy dumping ground, and it drove me mad having boxes of tools 'neatly' piled up because the one I needed was always at the bottom. So over time my neat shelving system degenerated back into chaos.
The final chapter was to invest in a Mafell track saw (no space for a saw table) and a second-hand Record table for my Trend T11 router and I've started building drawer 'cartridges' or 'cassettes' for the shelving. Basically, building plywood boxes that fit perfectly into the shelving and is divided into bespoke drawers for the tools I need to store. Bliss. It works beautifully and my sockets sets (which I use quite a lot) are accessed by simply pulling open one of the drawers. Now I'm just working my way along the shelving, building custom drawer cassettes to fit each space and based upon the tools I want to store in them.
We all love to delay organising our tools but when it’s done you feel great
It feels AMAZING. Ha ha....
Like Charlie, I bought a medium-heavy duty racking system a few years back. It was a doddle to assemble and really sturdy.
At the start of the lockdown, I wanted to reorganise my shed too and went through loads of different suppliers to find the size and volume that I needed for a reasonable price. I ended up buying one of these budget versions. Whilst it’s up and doing it’s job. It was a struggle to put together and throughout the build I kept muttering to myself why I hadn’t spent the extra £50 to make my life easier.
Once set up (took me 2-3 hours rather than the 30 minutes for the heavy duty), it’s doing it’s job and I’m sort of glad I saved about £50 not buying the heavier duty one. I’m only storing very light stuff on it.
I've got to say I completely agree. The heavy duty stuff is so much easier to put together. 👍
I like the open containers, great for small bits and bobs. I've been using transparent boxes to keep larger stuff together of same category like carpentry, painting, plastering, car stuff etc. This way I can take whole box out quickly.
Yes I try to make up kits , so gutter kit tileing etc...
Transparent shoe boxes are great - my day job is the same as Charlie’s, and I find they are easy to transfer into the van depending on what I’m fitting day to day. Stack very well in my workroom too.

Thanks Garviel 👍
Well well well! I assumed from your videos that you had OCD (or were somewhere on that spectrum) but if you can live for 10 years with a room in that state of chaos then I was wrong. Well that's a relief off our minds. I can still see some of the floor in my storage shed so still some time to go...
Ha! No I'm sort of aspiring to achieve a degree of OCD. 😉 Things have been chaotic over the last 10 years, spending too long during the week on the road in the day job and all weekend doing videos. In this situation you quickly take your eye off the ball and things like tool organisation go by the wayside. So it's nice to slam a system in place which hopefully I'll now stick to, going forward.
@@CharlieDIYte Bit of an old comment and don't know whether you mentioned it in a previous video or something but what is your day job exactly? Just curious. 😁
I bought the Clarke shelving range from Machine Mart about 10 years ago and they have served me well,I did however replace the MDF shelves with white melamine boards, about 2 years ago
All my power tools are in a Stanley rolling cart and the empty power tool cases I gut the inside to make great storage cases
That’s a great idea!
Thanks Gaz. Some great tips there 👍🏻
That is some proper organisation there Charlie. I thought I was organised until I saw this. Think I may have to look into this system. Another great video by the way. Have a great weekend.
Thanks mate. You too 👍🏻
I would suggest to anyone on a budget, clear tubs from Wilko's with lids are great. Keep the boxes quite small. They stack well and you can see the contents
Thanks, Wayne 👍
But, but,but, you’ve got to use the old kitchen units, you kept after fitting new ones, it’s like”man reward” for doing up the kitchen, and.......ITS THE LAW!
True, Roger. I have those in the garage!!
Excellent Charlie. I hope you labelled your label printer too 😂
Very good 🤣 Good to hear from you again 👍🏻
I was really struggling for space so I utilised an old scaffolding board, paints and glues on top and I've collected various jars and screwed the caps underneath to hold all my screws in place using the labels from screws to tape to the jar, happy days.
Good work David. Satisfying isn't it👍🏻
@@CharlieDIYte absolutely, I love the resourcefulness of it, many family and friends have copied it which gives me great satisfaction, which you could share with all your subscribers 😉 😀 👍
Personally I am a big fan of good old Dexion and my Workbench is made two shelves wide with 18mm chipboard top. I have the Record vice bolted to it and it is rock solid. I have just found a five shelf unit in a skip in an ' as new' condition as a suite of offices was being cleared. I do like the fact it is bolted together and is really big boys Meccano although getting shelves level is always a bit of trial and error. I keep my eyes open for odd shelves and uprights in skips and car boot sales as they will always come in handy. Your clear out is inspirational and has pricked my conscience on the state of the garage.
Thanks for the comment mate. Canny work on the salvaging. Sounds like a good system, that and reminds me of my salvaging over the years, from canteen seating from my first job that I salvaged for the kitchen in my first house, to office desks the last business I was working for were getting rid of, that formed the basis of our first office when I started up on my own. I'm always looking in the appliances bin at the household recycling centre for Henry spares although you're not meant to take anything out of them ...
A skip was how I got my Henry as the £4.99 switch was broken. Thanks to Amazon I now have a new shop vac. We live in a very wasteful society.
@@uktony1525 We do, Tony. And in no small part because there are very few manufacturers out there who produce spares. Numatic and Dualit are two of the few that do (both of which I've done videos on). Awesome work on the Henry. You must have been so chuffed about that 👍🏻👏🏻
good video, this has been a job for Bob for sometime now. Inspired me to get cracking on organising my shed this Spring.
Go for it Andrew. It's a game changer 👍🏻
For screws, bolts etc I made a shelving unit out of ply where carry boxes from B&M slide in. Theyre like the Stanley ones but only £3.99 each! I have loads of them in a rack and they are super handy for taking out to jobs!
I don't know why, but when I watch your videos (which I do religiously) I always think of the legend that was Keith Floyd, the best TV Chef that ever lived. Great video, I have a garage completely stuffed with junk, so I am definitely investing in some of these shelves. Cheers.
Hi Paul, thanks for that. Funnily enough, my Dad is a dead ringer for Keith, and you're not the first person to say that. I'm also a big fan, and have taken to drinking a lot of red wine recently, in direct homage to the great man! It seems to be a thing about chefs, as the main one I get is Gordan Ramsay! Massively appreciate you watching all my vids 👏👍
@@CharlieDIYte I've learnt loads by watching your videos. My wife and I are renovating an old house and we wouldn't have had the confidence to do much of the work without your help. We really appreciate what you do. Please keep it up.
Great transformation Charlie! I installed big dug shelving in my garage a few years ago. Excellent stuff. Unfortunately I never got round to organise each shelf. This has definitely inspired me to get back out there and do some serious sorting!
Thanks Steve! I'm not just saying this for the video, but it will be a proper game changer to get myself organised like this!! I know what you mean, there just isn't the time, is there? You're so chuffed to have erected the stuff and moved things from the chaos they were in, you go off and have a cup of tea and that's the last time you think about it!
That's pretty much spot on Charlie!
Very satisfying video to watch. I’m the process of sorting out a new garage and shed and have ordered some small wooden storage units to store the many bikes we have so I can actually get into the garage.
Can’t wait to put them up and then organise!!
Thanks Zeid. Go for it, you'll feel epic every time you go in there, once you've sorted it!
Hi Charlie,
Love your channel and the way you present your topics is excellent and easy to understand.
I buy plastic food containers with a good seal and put any paints in these as usually you only need these for touching up damaged walls/ skirtings etc. Saves a lot of space and paint never drys out.
Brilliant idea. So much wasted space taken up with “almost empty” paint tins.
I suddenly discovered french cleats over the diamond jubilee weekend this year and got a bit carried away. My entire workroom wall is now full of them and pretty much all my tools and materials have that 45 degree ply batten stuck to the back of them now. But it’s been brilliant for keeping things tidy. Also very versatile as you can move things around.
Good work Chris. Did you see my French clear video?
@@CharlieDIYte I don’t think I’ve quite got to that video yet. Up to around July 2020 now so almost there with the back catalogue!
Oh wow. Thanks Charlie. Love the way you organised your basement. Wish we had one too.....take care
Thanks Val, and good to hear from you again 👍🏻
Great video as always. Great Channel. I made my workshop "organisation system" out of scaffholding and scaff-boards as I had a load "spare" (long story) and so it solved 2 problems in 1 ... it got the massive pile of scaffholding out of the middle of the workshop floor, plus I gained a massive set of shelves that I never have to worry about how heavy something is on it 😁
Thanks Cliff 👍🏻 Nice work on the shelving system. I bet it looks pretty cool too!
Remember when I worked in R&D that I had a custom unit built think it was 4 meters by 10m, and put the 900mm or 1m deep heavy duty blue and orange system with free orange dead mallet. On the other side had 2 (deep shelves 900mm or 1m) then two much smaller ones (300 or 400 mm) in the same heavy duty system, so I could use I as a work bench. Was amazing quality and was 2009 or 2010 so not the same competition for the unit, seem to remember only one manufacturer selling it. Lasted for years till I left that job, probably still going now.
Great idea mounting the ladder bracket to the side of your shelving unit.
Thanks 👊
Oh Charlie what have you done. I've made it 3 minutes in and I've gone and ordered a similar system for the garage I was meant to do 2 years ago. Good video as always.
Probably a well-known trick, but before cutting bolts, thread a nut on - when removing it cleans any thread damage at the new cut end. (chamfer too, obvs)
My dad taught me that 63 years ago I file the cut edge before removing the nut.
Thanks Steve. Yes, I was aware of that, which with the chamfer, as you say with a good metal file will do the job fine.
Ah cool, but where does the chamfering come into it sorry?
@@philipjpearson You want a chamfer/bevel on the nose of the bolt both to give an easy start to the thread, but also it'll stop things catching on any sharp edges.
Hi Charlie, appreciate the effort you put into these videos. They been very helpful especially as you show people how to do things using even the basic tools rather than a fully equipped workshop with jointer, table saw etc etc.
Anyway I noticed you attached the shelves by drilling and using a plastic plug. I used to do things this way before I discovered the masonry bolts that you can drill into brick or concrete and then screw directly into the wall etc.
I made a very basic video for a friend a few days ago showing him how easy they are to use. Not a professional video at all as I didn’t show the drilling stage but thought I’d share with you so you can check them out and maybe use them on future projects. These ones are ramset 7.5mm x100 masonry screws rated to 120kg per screw.
I built some Workshop shelves From 2x4 timber equivalents (we’re metric in Australia) and used these to anchor the support beams to the wall. They’re also removable.
Here’s the quick video of using the screws Fixing into hard brick. Sorry not the level of yours as wasn’t my intention.

Hi, thanks so much for that, and also for posting a link to your vid. You're absolutely right, I do need to use these more. I did actually buy some a while back but haven't got round to using them yet. Also I love the torx heads. Far superior to pz and ph. Thanks again, oh and I'm forever humbled by messages from such far flung places. 👍🏻👏🏻
I need to do this with my loft...it's like a jumble sale thats been attacked with cluster bombs up there 😐
I'm going to borrow that analogy, thanks mate 👍
Love it 🤣
Great videos Charlie. A tip I got from another channel somewhere for cutting bolts down to size, put the nut on first, then cut and file the bolt. Removing the bolt cleans out the threads and provides for an even easier fit.
Thanks buddy. Yes I've heard that too. Either works really well 👍
I am ruthless now. If in doubt.. Tip.! They do have a quarantine period in the hall though. This can be a month or a year🤔. When my husband became ill we were renovating two houses. Two lots of stuff. Moved into one house. Not ideal. The only thing I hesitate about is wood as I always seem to need it the day after chucking it. I keep saying that this is my last year of diy. I am getting on a bit now... 😀😀
Janet, you're obviously quite a good carpenter, because carpenters find it really hard to throw away wood, for the reasons you gave. Wow, two lots of stuff in one house must have been tough!
Great video. And a fantastic result.. Well organised. 👍
Great video Charlie. Nice to see a UA-camr without a perfect tool wall! 😂👍🏼
Thanks Paul. Yes, I'm muddling along with the best of us. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Thanks for a great video Charlie.You have inspired me to sort out my work shed well over due.
YES Nigel - you must DO IT! You'll feel a little bit epic when it's done 👍🏻
I have some of the budget shelving in my garage. It’s remarkably good and i have some fairly heavy boxes which so far have been fine on that 6mm MDF.
Thanks Rob. That's my view exactly having used it for a number of years now. It's also pretty cheap and on fact it's the bins that cost the money. I should have mentioned pricing in the video. There's always something I miss no matter how much I obsess over these things!
I'm going to rack out my tool store with old fish boxes I've found washed up on the beech & use them like trays tool storage & parts organised is every workies nightmare 👍
Nice job Charlie. Organisation envy now.
Thanks Rod 👍🏻
Good review Charlie. After watching your video twice I bought a triple unit Big Dug value system and then watched the video a third time to put it all together. Sceptical like you about 6mm MDF shelves but now it is up it is very sturdy and supposed to support 200kg per shelf. It's loaded up and nothing has bent so well satisfied. I find your videos very instructive so thanks and keep up the good work. Regards Keith
Hi Keith, great to hear from you. So glad you found the vid useful and more importantly you have the same feeling as me about the shelving system. It's great isn't it, and Big Dug are an efficient outfit to deal with. Thanks for taking the time to let me know how you got on 👍🏻
I would agree. I installed a BigDug system and they are brilliant by way of customer service. I too was sceptical about the 6mm mdf but I've designed a tool storage cabinet from 1/2 in plywood ...it weighs 23 kg ...empty! Still, im really impressed at how the shelves have held up though....atleast so far!
Thank you
I think is a fantastic solution for a garage the only thing is leaving your power tools in the winter and hand tools they my get rusty I had experience on the past enjoyed the video.
Agreed, but in my case there's a boiler down there so although the floor is brick and earth, the room keeps pretty dry, from a humidity point of view.
Watched just before organising my own garage. To go a bit further with your tip regarding sanding the cut bolt to make it easier to put the nut back on, before cutting, screw the nut on up to the head, cut, files and the cut, then wind the nut off. This realigns and opens up the thread near the cut.
Great job
Thanks 👍🏻
I have the same Big Dug units with 6mm chip shelves. 5 years with some pretty heavy loading and all still good. I use Really Useful Boxes as I’ve been a bit itinerant and a like the dust and damp protection. They are more brittle than I’d like though.
Great to hear Emmet! We do boxes on our website that might be more suitable?
Inspirational Charlie! Great job
Thanks, I really appreciate that 👍🏻
Great Video - Very much liked the bin system
Wow! Cool piece!
the shelfs Charlie has built i have similar one at home not a big fan
the best shelving system I have found is the wire shelves I have six of them dotted round the house
the oldest one is out 15 years old
and still looking good
Thanks for this. Why aren't you a big fan of the value shelves?
Is that a supermarket tray behind you? Every little helps.
I was expecting less on the shelving system and more info on the actual sorting and organising method used for the tools amd hardware.
Love this, but we would be biased ;-)
Ho-ho! Just bought the BiGDUG value 3-bay kit and I notice a certain amount of re-design in the shelf fixings, since this video was made.
Hi Charlie, completely agree, Big Dug shelving is great and so practical. I’ve got it in my garage and even with a house move it slotted together again and still looks as good as new 8 years later. How about a garden shed build for your next project
Thanks John! I'm planning a garden room, but we're quite a few months off on that. My wife will kill me if I don't build the bedroom wardrobe!
Nice work Charlie,would have loved to have seen your skip afterwards !!!
It had a combination of that, and detritus from around the garden from when I built the decking a couple of months ago, and a mattress on top (I built a new bed recently, something I should probably do as video on, but it's a bit niche! I was a bit worried the bottom would fall out when they took it yesterday as it was completely rusted through, but I packed it carefully so thankfully it didn't empty out all over the drive!
Personally going to that trouble I would have also painted the walls white to improve light levels. But I'm slightly older and we never think about ageing eyesight until it's too late!
Time to sort the garage and the shed
Cutting bolts - I put the nut on before cutting, take off the burrs, then remove nut. This latter step recuts the thread.
Very nice.
Next step is to sort out the paint shelf. :-)
A great improvement in your cellar - have to say I've always been a bit anal when it comes to workshop organisation - old kitchen units/wall cupboards, rectangular ice-cream boxes for small parts storage, all workshop machinery on wheels . . . and tools arranged on a wall mounted shadow tool-board. The Big Dug stuff looks good .... but their catalogue always has photos with very short people standing next to the units!
Why aren’t we allowed to stand next to the units? Hurt feelings from the Short Brigade!🤣
I'm a general handyman, and find your videos so useful, Charlie! Moving house soon, and considering starting a channel to document the improvements and projects. Any tips for me?
Thanks Jon. Where do I start? The content is key and what a lot of UA-camrs struggle with, but if it's anything like my old place, the house will provide you with a constant stream of content so that's something you won't have to worry about. Learn as much as you can from other DIYers on UA-cam, see what they're doing well and what you think you could improve on and implement it in your videos. But don't worry about getting them perfect. The more videos you do the more you'll learn and hone your style. Get a simple but inexpensive editing software. I use Adobe Premier Elements. It's not particularly sophisticated but it works for me and is a one off payment rather than subscription. You can't record everything in one take so the software is important as a means of editing together each clip. Don't play cheesy music throughout your videos like I did in my early ones 😉 There's so much more but that's enough to get you started. Good luck 👍🏻
@@CharlieDIYte thanks, Charlie, I'll give you a heads up when I get it up and running. Do you use your phone to record, or a DSLR? What do you use for editing?
I use a camcorder. I mentioned the editing software in my previous comment.
@@CharlieDIYte thanks, Charlie. Yes, I clearly needed my glasses on when I read your previous reply!
I would probably look for something better to put your powertools in for if it gets damp it will protect your tools better you can get big toolbox on wheels now to transport easy
Hi Charlie Denver here from Unflatpack quick question how did you go about organising the tools and what system did you used to decide what stayed and what had to go?
Hi Charlie could you do a vid on the difference between Pozi and Phillip's screws and bits.
I'll add that to the list, Mark. Basically you don't see a lot of Phillips screws these days - although weirdly all drywall screws are phillips head. Pozi are superior (the difference is that they have a little gash in each right angle of the "plus" sign which gives the screw bit more torsion in the screw, but if you want a REALLY good screw head, go for Torx. They're superior in every way but are still not as prevalent in the UK as they should be.
Good video a bit more of what got sorted to where would of been advantageous. Other than that spot on my son😀👍😂
This is the kind of activity everyone knows they need to do but can’t bear actually undertaking....I need to get my garage sorted but it’s a whole weekend job 😫
Come on Ricky. I was in exactly the same mind set. Do it and you'll be so pleased you did!
Rubber hammer and other tools come along the racks?
No you have to buy the hammer
Whats the label printer you are using it looks a lot better than my lidl/aldi one.
It's Dymo Label Manager. I've put a link in the Description. It ships with standard labels, but the Durable ones are so much better, and don't peel (fall) off unlike the standard ones.
Charlie, do the storage buckets take up the full depth of the racking? Or is there a gap behind.
Hi Alistair, yes the Value Medium Duty Shelving Unit is internally 590mm deep, and those bins I've got range from 520mm external depth for the largest, then 355mm, 240mm and 165mm for the smallest, so there's plenty of space behind, to store extra bins. You can also get shelving units supplied with bins that are designed for a particular size of bin, but obviously it depends whether you're intending to just have the entire system with one size bin, or alternatively you want a bit more flexibility.
Put the nut on before cutting to size and then taking it off forms the thread! You can organise my garage now!!
Oops just seen that this is already in the comments.
This looks like a great solution Charlie and I would love to do something similar. Could you possibly leave a comment stating how much this would have cost had you payed for it, cheers 👍🏻
Yes, of course Simon. Give me an hour or two, and I'll also put the costings in the Description too. Sorry, this should have been in the video itself.
Nice Job Charlie. In my Production days we used to use a Japaneese quality system called 5S, the first 3 S's being helpful here;
Sort - Eliminate whatever is not needed by separating needed tools, parts, and instructions from unneeded materials.
Set in order - Organize whatever remains by neatly arranging and identifying parts and tools for ease of use.
Shine - Clean the work area by conducting a cleanup campaign
Please say what the other two “S’s” were.
@@denisekennedy3099 Standardise and Sustain, for a fuller explaination just Google 5S.
Really must get round to organising my workshop, some definite inspiration there Charlie.
May be wrong, but I think you have to label this video as *AD *GIFTED or similar or risk a strike from UA-cam - see Peter mallards recent video for an explanation.
You raise an interesting point there. I've obviously been completely transparent in the video about the stuff they gifted me. I was of the impression that you don't need to notify UA-cam in the back end unless it was a paid video or sponsorship, particularly where like here the company in question has no input on the editorial content but this may have changed recently as I can't find reference to the editorial input point that I'm pretty sure was there a month ago. The advice online is ambiguous on what "Paid Promotion" means, so I'm going to raise this with UA-cam tomorrow as I like to be squeaky clean on this. In the meantime if you can find the Millard video then please forward the link, because I can't find it in his UA-cam feed (the guidelines on Instagram etc are different) 👍🏻
My issue is the more storage I get, the more stuff I fill it with. I no longer store materials but still have 3 garages and a loft full of stuff.
Do I really need 10 shovels?
I know. I threw away 5 rusty saws amongst many other things. 😂 Arguably I don't need 4 vacuums either!
Any horizontal surfaces attract clutter. Clearing out cluttered warehouses/storage spaces, my favourite trick is simply to disassemble racking. If you don't need it, and nowhere to store, to the skip it goes.
Personal usage though, if you have a rack that has barely anything on, remove the actual shelf and store it with any others. Then you have nothing to just "place" something on there when you're busy living.
Then you watch videos from USA with title "Small garage organisation tips". Ofcourse small for them is they can't fit 2cars, boat and a caravan inside. 😁
Charlie this is off this video topic, Ive looked at all your videos and the one thing you've not covered is nail guns. Im asking as I need to upgrade my old Tackwise brad nailer. My question is as an occasional user I cannot justify at the moment spending £200+ on a new one, any suggestions on buying one.
Hi David, I'm afraid you're right, I haven't really covered nailers. I have been playing around with a Ryobi recently. They do a 16 and 18G bit.ly/2HN4zNH but with batteries it'll take you over the £200. Amazing tool though that doesn't require gas.
“Drill driver if attaching to the wall… “Shocking Charlie shocking surely you mean combi drill
😝👍
Sounds of drill in the background as the hammer action comes into play
Those paint pots are no better than what you had before. I bet you you’ll never use 80% of them and when you come to use them they’ll be dry. They need a give them a day trip to the tip
Great video as always. I did a similar clear up a number of years ago but need to revisit it as chaos has inevitably crept back 🤷♂️ I noticed you wearing knee pads, what is your preference in that department? Cheers
For what it's worth, I would recommend that you never use individual knee pads which have a hard plastic "shell" exterior. I did, at first, when I tried laying a laminate floor. The first time I kneeled on part of the newly laid laminate, one (hard shelled and therefore very slidy) knee went north, the other (likewise) knee went south, and my groin went "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH". 🥴
Lesson learned. I now use a folded-up blanket, towel or similar.
My wife saw your face for the first time and wondered since when did Gordon Ramsay get into DIY...
Some of your shelves appear to be not locked in place. The rivets must be at the bottom of the keyway not in the middle.....!!
Actually no matter how hard you clonk them, that's as far as they go down the key hole.
@@CharlieDIYte I have similar shelves and the rivets go all the way down, this seems to be a manufacturing glitch possibly.
I always use g-rack.co.uk and paint the shelves.
Would be nice if there was a company who let you make your own size ones
So I wasn't the only one to sort through all my "useful" stuff during lockdown.
Was the tinitus playing you up after all that banging metal in a confined space.
I thought someone might ask that! Yes, I should have worn my ear defenders. This is one of the reasons I have tinnitus, because I'm too lazy to put the ear defenders on half the time.
@@CharlieDIYte I've got tinnitus and had to laugh at you vacuum cleaning with ear defenders on. I've done the same before. My upright vax is a noisy beast, the dog just hides.
How do I hang up my 65 “ tv to the plaster bord
Find the studs. Brackets for TVs that big should span enough to find at least 1 stud. Use metal hollow wall anchors for the rest of you can't find a second stud.
😊👍
What's happened with Henry?
He's in the house! 👍🏻
Ultimately it depends how much wasted space there is in each container
Get rid of the old boiler, that reminds me of the wife 😂
Maybe she’s thinking exactly the same about you .... 🤣
Great Charlie,,, but you waisted time and effort,,, your basement looked fine before,,, yo wanna see my Garage,,, and sheds,,, cant even walk in them,,, my biggest fear,,, is my son will just skip everything when I snuff it,,, Im a horder,,, thinking that will come in useful sometime,,, then the obviouse happens,,, you bin it a week later you need it. Just Life.
Thanks Ray 🤣 I know what you mean. You really do need stuff as soon as you've thrown it. Or in the day job, the one tool you leave behind is always the one you need, however implausible it would have seemed before you left!

Sorry, but not very useful, just showed us how he took everything out, assembled some shelves and moved everything back in. I expected better based on his other videos.
Sorry to hear that. I'm really using this video as a rallying cry to us all to get our store rooms organised, and to show the options that are available. Not really sure what more I could have done, given the title of the video?
People don’t have this much organisation because of the cost, I was just thinking It must of cost you a fair bit of money but then you say what I was expecting, you got it for free. Does no one of UA-cam pay for things anymore
Cheaper than knocking something out of ply or MDF if you include your time as well
Brendan, I only got the Value Medium Duty Shelving Units and the buckets for free. I've been buying this stuff from Big Dug for years.
I doubt it's cost. One of those racking units costs £60. More likely, it's space and time.
Brendan Big400 is £130 per system (I have 2) and the Big 200 £72, both of which I paid for. The Value System that Big Dug supplied is £69 per unit, and I've obviously got 2. Then there's all the parts bins, and because I've got so many of them yes the cost does mount up £397 in total for 40 of the smallest bins, 40 of the next size up, 20 medium, 20 large and 10 extra large, and 20 of those bins with the dividers. But there are probably cheaper bins out there that you could improvise with to keep the cost down. However I think the racking/shelving is pretty reasonably priced when compared with the cost of knocking up something yourself as @timne0 pointed out.
Too many adverts
At least it's relivent to the video, no vpn this or curiosity that.
And Charlie will have no control over that, it’s UA-cam
Sorry you thought that Colin. Out of interest is it the ads in the middle that really get your goat?
Thanks Rob, I appreciate that but I can actually reduce certain ads, like the ones that appear in the middle. I haven't a clue what revenue they generate and am loathe to remove too many as all revenue is precious in my quest to do this full time whilst keeping the content objective, but any feedback from you guys as to what you can and can't tolerate is valuable to me 👍🏻
As far as I’m concerned, as long as there aren’t too many adverts I’m quite happy to see them because it’s a passive way of supporting the channel - I usually let them run for at least 30 seconds and often longer because I believe that the longer they run, the more revenue they generate for the channel.
Generic shelving, available much cheaper elsewhere
