I like how you give tips that beginners might not know or realize. For example, offsetting the screws
Some great woodworking tips. Excellent design for very well supported shelves.
Dude this is awesome! i am so appreciative of someone who explains things with such detail. I always end up having a simple question but it seems to be so simple no one ever talks about it. So this was super nice and very helpful with all the building information. I appreciate you and your teaching!
You are the best teacher. Where were you when I was in carpentry school a million years ago?
While I may not use your shelf technique in my garage, I have to say your approach is very impressive and I learned something! Lol nice video
Appreciate your clear, thorough discussion.
Most of your videos are good. This shelf is crazy. Anything but easy.
Those look real nice! Underside would be a nice spot for some light strips. Thanks for the video!
Appreciate all the videos, they are very very insightful and I learned a lot from you. I recently seen one of them and got hooked and been slowly watching all of them. Thanks for all the shared knowledge you do.
The finished shelves look great 👍 probably more complicated design than strictly needed, but great outcome.
Thanks for sharing. Also, with construction technique you used, it has a bit of interesting architectural look to it as well. Always nice if a shop can be functional and look good.
Great looking design. I'm also jealous of the nice construction grade wood you can get!
I pick thru the piles....
I just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for the video. I very much enjoyed you walking us through your thought process. Then I read the comment section. LOL this is a tough crowd. What happened to learning and sharing ideas and building off of others to make it work for your own application. See ya on the next one.
Thanks for the good idea Shawn. The tip on rounding over the edges of the pine shelves would have been useful before I made some shelving, got a splinter and the went back and sanded the edges of all the shelves. Cheers, Tom
Great idea for wasted space 👍 I'll have to put a few of these in the front room of the shop. Thanks!
Great storage solution, Shawn! I may borrow this in the future.
Looks great
Cool idea, off to the shop to add some of them asap. Cheers.
That’s a nice design. I think it’s attractive as-is. Good work.
Ta mate, cracking video, you've given me a lot of ideas & I just had to subscribe. Have a smashing weekend. From England, God bless.
Overbuilt! Not that that's a bad thing! But those could hold far more weight than what you plan to use them for. Thanks for the video.
That's the idea. How many times has the wife asked for a little shelf for a tiny knick knack then tried to put 20lb hand weights on it?
Awesome information as always. Shop is looking Awesome.
Very interesting shelve system. Really thinking out of the box. Also, the shelves could be made of stair stepping. It is thicker than 3/4 inch and has a rounded edge.
And it’s expensive
Exactly how much weight do you think you’ll be putting on a 4’ shelf anyway? That board will hold hundreds of pounds.
I have the same shelves, but upside down, it makes the shelf continuous, enough that I can store lumber on it
Always love your content
Like It
Found it hard to follow (that is on me) sometimes it takes a few tries.
Enjoy
8:30 If you undercut your stop block's edge, with just a 1/16-1/4 inch indent, the dust shouldn't gunk up your reference. I think I saw Steve Ramsey do that on his miter saw. Seemed like a good tip. I'd do it myself, but I have superhuman perception and don't need stop blocks.
Ya, but that'd mean doing more work than just grabbing a scrap and clamp.
@@wortheffort You're saying it's. . .not worth the effort? 😏
i totally enjoy learning from you 💯🎯💥
Impressive design, and build!
Well done!

Damn! Your 2x4s are soooo much better than the Douglas fir stuff we get in the west coast! As always a great video, with lots of educational material and explanations
This was Douglas fir I think. Stringy, splintery, yucky. I pick thru the stacks to find quarter or bastard sawn boards. Normally I'm anti knot, but as on a tight budget here so....
Nicely done.
love the concept. Like your old shop, I do not have much room. Have to utilize every square inch of space. I build loft above the garage door years ago to store wood. Your bracket is simple and functional. Well done. Thanks for sharing
beautiful design!!!
I believe brackets are much stronger underneath the shelving as opposed to brackets built on top of the shelving. You noted correctly that screws/nails need to be put in at an angle when attaching something to a vertical surface (there's a reason picture hanger nails/screws are driven in at an angle). If your brackets are on top of the shelving, they are pulling away at the nails or screws whereas brackets underneath the shelving they are helped by pushing them down and into the surface. Plus you don't lose any linear space on your shelving by the interference of the supports every few feet. Not saying it doesn't look nice.
A) screw holds what little torque there is duE to B) brace is way below 45*. Stated goal was to use wasted cieling space.
It doesn’t matter if a 2x4 and fasteners in compression is stronger than a 2x4 and fasteners in tension when the design itself doesn’t offer enough space to load up enough to exceed the strength of the lumber in tension…
That is a great looking design! Dress it up and one could build practical soffit book shelving using your method. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!! Good video!!
Boy, you sure picked out some beautiful 2x4s. They look like cedar. Are they douglas fir? I actually love the design you came up with! They have an Asian vibe to them and they will work great in my small shop. Thank you!!
Really cool design and how you planned it out. But what is that green and white pipe system you have at 1:47 and 21:00? Is that some sort of a vent system?
My greatest storage problem is that the ceilings are ~80”. 😢 Our home is 125 years old and it was not uncommon to turn the old carriage houses into landscape barns, then in the 1920’s they built ‘garages’ but they were dirt floored. Then many people in the 1940-1950’s concrete slabs were poured into the interior of those dirt floored garages and and barns. I just need to tear down and rebuild 🫤…
Good luck
Hey, there's no need for the double middle brace you did there. One is enough with two side pieces.
I though the same thing and will do that if I build them. I guess his reasoning is his own.
You'd double the stress on the one bracket. Wasn't worth the risk to save
Nice simple solution for shop storage. Are your walls higher than 8 feet?
I'm 5'7" and can't touch it when I jump so probably. But I am fat so.....
Certainly a sturdy shelf, however, I don't think it is any stronger than a french cleat of comparable build same bracket structure, etc.You definitely would not need as many screws and nails as this did. I appreciate that this is intended for a specific purpose, but the gap at the back may be an issue for most guys building a system like this.
Gap increases size of items that can be stored. Didn’t say was stronger, only that easier to clean via blower.
Have you ever heard about french cleat ?
Didn’t watch the video did ya? I talked about them and why I chose this in video.
The weakest part of this is the shear strength of the screws holding the safety rails to the wall.
Two screws every 16" for a light weight shelf...
Didn’t know that nails naturally hold more weight than screws.
Screws are hardened, hence they snap.
Lol that is a really odd tan line
I wear gloves on motorcycle (main transportation)
@@wortheffort oh, that makes sense.
Undercut the stop me thinks would be wise.
My uneducated guess is most of this could have been build from 2x2’s and still hold 100’s of lbs.
finding a straight 2x2 at a Home center would be almost impossible lol. Then when you rip a 2x4 down the middle all the stress releases and it curls up.
A little bit of over kill going on here.
I'd say for an overhead shelf that isn't a bad thing.
Too each their own
460 square feet is a little larger than a two-car garage, not one-car!
No it isnt.
Man that’s a lot of talking.
People like you make me so nervous and ashamed of myself .....its like ....I'm sorry I was talking a lot ..I just wanted to try and help you as much as possible ....😣
Not really.
This is one of the few channels that I can easily listen at 2x play speed.
Simple to build?
Yes
I hate to be critical, but it seems you are over building again. It's like you're building a big square french cleat without the hook so you have to glue & screw to create that hook. It doesn't seem efficient or cost effective. I love your channel, but this seems over thought or something. Sorry
As stated French cleats collect shavings and dust. Only diff between French and this is one screw and two nails. You’d still have the rest. If that’s overkill….
Those were not simple.
Glued, screwed, no joinery, mainly busywork, saw & drill, no concern for esthetics… yes, this is simple.
@@wortheffort as a carpenter myself, our definitions must differ.
Good idea, but way too much yapping. Just get to it
Awful design ,looks bad too
