Is there no end to your talents young man? Looking good on the sewing machine Tommy. Excellent mate and a brilliantly practical project.
Never seen a woodworker use a sewing machine on camera before!
lol, there's a first time for everything! 🤣
Congratulations, Tommy. You have a really great storage system and I hope it serves you well for many years to come.
Thank you, William! I'm glad you dig it!
I love that you have photos on your workbench
Thank you!
Great job. This idea can be used for endless applications. Thanks!
dude this is perfect. Having a small shop, lumber storage has and is a pain in the arse. I have a side yard and never thought to use it like this until now so,,, a BIG thanks for that
Thank you very much, and you're very welcome! Good luck with your build!
Looks fabulous!!! Nice to know you can rock the sewing machine also! Can’t wait to build this shed at my house. Thanks so much for this series, it was excellent and exactly what I needed.
Thank you, Lisa! I'm not expert with the sewing machine, but I can get by 😉 If you're interested, I'll have plans for the shed posted for sale on my website, probably within the week. Either way, I wish you the best of luck on the project!
I have a side yard much like yours and plan to build a shed for my lumber. This is a great inspiration. Can't wait to get started. Thanks.
Thank you, Martin! I'm glad to hear you found it useful!
It occurred to me as you were cutting the canvas that you could have re-used the edges with the factory grommets by cutting to the size you needed, and stitching them back onto the edges where you needed them. Although going through the experience of adding grommets to a piece is handy as well!
Great point about how cotton canvas shrinks as well.
It's funny you mention that.... I was just about to cut the canvas, and my girlfriend walked in and suggested the same thing. Based on her comment, I had originally cut one section of grommets off and was investigating the idea of just restitching it (you can actually see in the video that the edge closest to the camera is missing the grommeted edge). I couldn't envision how to stitch the edges though in a way that would be satisfactory, especially in the corner where both edges were would meet up. Obviously, I eventually gave up and went back to the method you see in the video. I actually wanted to mention it in the video, but there was a lot of back and forth, and the video of that process just looked confusing, so I decided to nix it. All that said, I think it could be done, but it would require a little more planning and some un-stitching at the corners. With that extra work, it seemed like making new stitches would just be faster. And as mentioned, adding new grommets was a good experience. Anyway, thanks for suffering through this rant!
Really nice project, one I'm looking forward to building. Especially liked the "Everyman" approach, seeing that even guys with skills better than mine make mistakes and have to deal with them. Makes me feel a lot better.
Thanks, Chuck! I’m glad you enjoyed the project...mistakes and all 🙂
Awesome project!
Thank you very much!
Great job. Very informative
Replace the left stone on your bench grinder with a wire wheel - you will never go back to the standard and almost useless double wheel setup. The wire brush wheel is a game-changer but safety glasses are a must and it does thrown 'pins' at you as the wires fall out over time.
I have a similar narrow side yard and wanted to build a lumber shed myself so your series on this was helpful especially the mistakes you made with your first one and the mistakes along the way with this one. Thanks
Alex, thanks for letting me know you got something out of this - I appreciate it very much! Good luck with the project!
Great set of videos my friend.. keep up the great work.
Thank you, Brent! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, and I'll do my best to keep it up!
Great idea for a small space! I am using one your idea! The twin screw vise is on my next project list ! Thanks for sharing
Thank you and good luck with your upcoming project!
Nice job! Came out great and love the details that went into this one.
Thank you very much!
The canvas was a nice touch, i am feeling inspired. Thanks for the vid!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video mate, this design would be ideal for my timber rack
amazing work! that looks great, exelent use of space
Thank you, Laura!
Really nice build. Great idea and this will help me out with my lumber storage.
Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful!
That's a pretty perfect build for location and accessability
Thank you, Glenn!
It looks great and you have a lot of really good tips and ideas. I enjoyed watching this build and I learned some things I had not thought of before.
Thank you, John! I'm glad to know you got something out of it!
John Kelley g
Very interesting video. I have learned some new things trough these videos!
Thank you!
wow , good project protecting and storage your lumber . 😊👍
Thank you!
Great job!
Thank you, Will!
Way to bring it home! Love the final video and I'm looking forward to your next video! Thank you for the price at the end, as well, for budgeting!
Thank you, Dawn! I'm glad to know that you enjoyed the series. I know we talked a little bit about making videos in series before. It's something that I've considered, but this build took long enough that unless I wanted to make a 45 minute video, I pretty much had to do it in parts. Anyway, thanks again!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench It definitely makes sense! I loved the recaps, too, that you did from the previous videos.
Very good that might work for me
Thank you - I hope it does!
Great plan. Well done.
Thank you very much, Deb!
Love it.! ! Only thing I would do for mine, is to add a 6” PVC extension on the end , at the peak , for 10’ to 12’ trim boards.
And I love your chop saw!
Very cool!
Thank you!
Looks great! Nice work! :)
Thank you, Kathleen!
The support on the base is not an over kill. That is exactly how a cantilever is designed. As to what you did was a covered cantilever.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Fantastic build Tommy, i enjoyed all 3 parts of this build and that was some niffty looking sewing skills there.

Thank you, Barry! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great wood shed sir 🇬🇧
Thank you!
Good job, thank you.
Thank you!
Nice job!! 👍
Thank you!
New sub,great videos
Thank you, and welcome to the channel!
This was a well produced video for a well produced project. Watching your methods and listening to your planning, you must be an engineer or a machinist, including how you work around the inevitable mistakes. One suggestion I might offer (4 years after the fact, sorry) would be Scotchgard the canvas. It would appear from the background you live in a dryer climate. That said I'm going to use plywood, but I plan to use your design substantially. If it occurs to me, I'll post a picture of the drill fixture I will use, I have a different approach. Cheers!
PS: Do the different color grommets affect your engineering OCD? I recently made a similar mod and had brass and aluminum color grommets. Arrgh! But hey it works.
Great project. An alternative to adding grommets would be stitching paracord or shock cord directly to the canvas. It would probably save a few dollars to start with a canvas drop cloth with no grommets and just stitch on all the loops.
Looks really good, I think the only thing else you may want to think about is a rain gutter on the front so you don't get a trench puddle from the water dropping off the roof.
Thank you, Robert! Thanks also for the suggestion. It's a pretty small roof (it's only 24") and we don't really get a lot of rain here, so I think I'll wait to see what happens for this first year before I add a gutter. I'll probably do an update video down the road, and if a gutter is in order, I'll be sure to add it to that video. Thanks again!
Excelente proyecto y muy útil, felicidades.
¡Gracias! ¡Me alegro que hayas disfrutado!
You can help prolong the life of the canvas with spray-on waterproofing like is used on tents
Scotchgard is the bomb for waterproofing fabrics
Congratz on 100k, the elephants aporove 👍
Thank you very much!
Nice. One tip: If you melt the ends of the paracord they won't fray and will last much longer. Bonus, it will look better overall with no fraying portions. Just a quick singe with a lighter to melt it and smash it into the wood or the lighter base to seal it while it's still melted (this also widens it so it's harder to slip through the knot).
Thank you, and thanks for the tip!
Thanks for sharing that
Thank you!
Excellent use of otherwise useless space!
Great work. You had storage for sheet goods in the old rack. Can that be worked into this one?
Nice...
Thank you, Joe!
Great job on the project. One little tip given your focus on longevity for the project. You might want to consider wicking thin CA glue into the threaded holes for the carriage bolts. Overkill? Maybe, but a little more cheap insurance.
Thank you for that great suggestion, Michael! I think I will!
Fantastic build Tommy. I'm thinking about doing the same thing at my place. Just curious how stable you thought it might be, once loaded, from falling over either from wind or reckless kids.
Great project with one suggestion. Carpenter bees are an issue where I live and they will love all of that bare wood stored outside. Consider putting in a carpenter bee trap to catch them.
Thank you! They haven't been a problem here, but I could add a metal screen at the top of the header in between the trusses to keep bees (and other insects) out of there. I think the canvas is loose enough that smaller insects could make it in, but I'm not sure bees would want to squeeze through there. I'll see how it goes this first year through the seasons and then report what (if any) problems I find in an update down the road. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for reminding me. The carpenter bees in my area can and do squeeze through 3/8"-1/2" holes. Going to have to rethink this project.
I'm going to make something like this
Awesome! If you're interested, I'll be posting plans for sale, probably within the week. Either way, good luck with the project!
Fawesome Sir
Thank you!
Looks good! I wish I could do something similar here, but the weather wouldn't allow it.
Thanks! What sort of weather are you dealing with?
@@OneMinuteWorkbench well it's canada, so it goes from +40C (104f) to -40C (-40F where Celsius and Fahrenheit meet) and throw in waste high snow in the winter! What is your weather like?
It's very temperate here, little rain, and comfortable temperatures most of the time. I could see waist high snow being a problem for a cotton canvas. You could use something like Rhino Tex material; here's a link: www.tarpsnow.com/waterproof-canvas-tarps-breathable-tarps.html What do you think?
My wife will be using this well made video to help us do something very similar. QUESTION: Since many pieces of lumber are 8ft long, what is your total length so that those large peices fit. What I'm asking, what is the length of your BASE so that you fit 8 foot peices? Thanks so much!
I would recommend waterproofing the canvas useing various means.. you ca buy tent waterproofing, or do a DIY method like beeswax and think terp
Thanks for the suggestion!
How is it holding up? Is the wood staying dry?
Is excellent! Is just the right fit for the space, the budget a little high but I bet you've used good quality materials. I'm wondering if is holding up well this was done on 08/2019 and we are in 09/2020 is been a year since you build it up. Any updates that you might want to share?
It’s holding up like a champ! I was just out there day getting some lumber and it brought a smile to my face just seeing how well it’s doing. When I built it, one of the main criteria was to make sure it would last for at least 10 years. So far it’s on track! Anyway, thanks for letting me know you dig it!
FYI, just shot this video for you: instagram.com/p/CEuccvaDApD/?
How wide of a space do you have where this shed is located? I think I will need a shed like this and look forward to buying your plans
58.5", and the shed is 23". Plans should be out within the week. I hope this helps!
True parachute cord has no elastic. It is nylon sheathed braided rope @ 500 lb test strength.
Paracord or shock/elastic cord
"Paracord" is the brand name of elastic cord I was using, however I have to be honest in that I don't really know much about actual parachute cord. Based on the fact that elastic cord is branded as "Paracord", I would have guessed that parachute cord was elastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this subject.
What does this lumber rack weigh? How will you move it if/when you move to another house?
Wish you had the measurements of your cut pieces
Travis, I do sell fully comprehensive, step by step instructions on my website. I hope this helps!
7:00 those must be some loud ass drills!
Probably should have put some on at 8:45 mate!
I know I know just kidding around. I love this project and could use one myself. I'm in the mid Atlantic though where humidity and snow would probably make it not really worth it.
lol 😂 When you use drills (and other loud tools) as much as I do, you gotta be on top of your hearing protection game 😉
Bought the plans. I've purchased most of the supplies and should be starting tomorrow. Question: Do you think I could substitute metal "L" brackets in place of the floor supports? I think it should work. I intend to store full sheets of plywood by resting them on the floor - those big supports would definitely get in the way!
Thanks for buying the plans! You’ll be fine without those supports...you won’t even need L-brackets. If the plywood is resting on the floor, than hardly any pressure at all will be in the back wall. It’ll be fine - I hope this helps!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench to clarify. I do still intend on making the conduit supports to use if needed. And will keep a few rows above the plywood. So there will be weight. Thanks!

😂 This made my day! I'm a huge Phil Hartman/Troy McClure fan - R.I.P.
You could’ve reattached the strip with grommets you cut off, saving you time and money.
I actually tried that, but the corners were problematic. Without unstitching them, and figure how to integrate the piece being reattached, it would have caused water run-off problems. After a while of trying to figure it out, I decided it would be faster just to create a new edge and add grommets. Anyway, I hope this makes sense!
One Minute Workbench ah yes, I see what you’re saying. Yeah you’re right, the corners would be tough.
Take a lighter to the cut ends of the para chord. Itll keep it from fraying more.
Thanks for the tip!
Those are the same exterior colors of my house, I’m sure mine will look identical when I’m done.
Nice! Be sure to send me pics!
Wondering why you didn't use 3/4 inch PVC for the pipes. Weight?
PVC would snap (or at least flex significantly) under the weight of the larger pieces of wood. The bottom "shelf" (which is 5 pieces of 3/4" conduit) holds about 150 pounds worth of material. Also, the galvanized conduit will last longer, and isn't actually all that expensive. Not as cheap as PVC, but not too bad. I hope this helps!
It definitely was a great build, though I must say that I expected to have it cost way less than $400.
Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed the project! I would have loved for it to be in the $200 range, but it just wasn't possible. At least not with this level of durability, fit and finish. I wanted to make sure this was an extension to my shop (as opposed to just a temporary storage solution). With how it's built, I would expect it to last for at least 10 years, and probably 20 or more with proper maintaining of the paint. I'll probably have to replace the canvas every so many years as well, but I'm hoping to get 5 or more out of it...we'll see! Thanks again!
How do you suggest I brace this for wind? I have only one spot and fence is only 4 feet high!
What are the measurements?
Okay, I'm pretty much a newbie in this area. I see lumber yards storing wood outside with nothing more than a cover. My experience with wood outside is it deteriorates over time. So, why store outside? Weather is untreated woods enemy.
The two big enemies are sun and water (usually in the form of rain). So the idea behind building a shed is that the wood isn't actually outside...it's inside the shed. You still have moisture from humidity changes, but it affects the material much less than direct water or sun. So if you have limited space in your shop, or more specifically, if you limited space for wood storage inside your shop, you have to start looking for other places to store the material that will protect it from sun and water. I hope this helps!
You could have used a long piece of dowel along the bottom and small tackle blocks to make it roll up and down as opposed to tossing it over the top
But really love the design
First person
That is elastic cord or stretch cord, not "para cord".
