    Follow me Nerds, as I show you how I built this light-up workbench and shelving system by myself (One person build), but if you have help it's twice as easy.
    This technique works for all applications including floors with and without slopes.

    **instead of splicing the wires for the lights above the bench, they make extended cords (link listed below). A much safer and up to code option**
    Wood and Cuts:
    (25)- 8' long 2"X4" (Might need more or less depending on length and height of garage. My garage is less than 16' so I had to cut the horizontal framing by 6" on one side and the 29 internal boards were cut @ 27")
    (5)- 8' long 1"X3" (I split mine with the table saw so if you don't want to do that perhaps get 10-1"X2" instead) (used for pegboard framing) (cut to desired size of pegboards)
    (2)-4'X8' pegboard sheets (cut to desired height and length - mine is 36"X84" and 39"X29" for the side pieces on the dividers
    (5)(total) - 23/32" 4'X8' plywood sheets (1/2" should also be okay pending your application)
    all 5 cut @ 30" (2 were cut in half for my 4 - 4' shelf sections and then trimmed on the left side to fit my garage length)
    2 of the leftover 18" sheets to be cut at 12" (To pair with the 18" sheets to complete 30" deep shelves on top)

    I just happenedbto come across your channel. I respect your humility, honesty, and your willingness to show that you are learning. In addition I appreciate that you are sharing your production growth along with that of the channel itself. This channel looks to be a must watch particularly for the new guys and weekend warriors, without being "dumbed down"

    • @WoodNerds
      @WoodNerds  4 года назад +15

      Brawl Dawg I really appreciate you taking time to provide feedback! Everyone screws up, I figure it’s better I do it first so nobody else has to, and we all can learn from it and become better together. I am also detail oriented naturally so I really like to explain the reason for each step (although not everyone likes that haha). Thanks again, hope your weekend projects are going well!

    • @CurmudgeonExtraordinaire
      @CurmudgeonExtraordinaire 3 года назад +1

      Being able to hold your weight is the very minimum standard a workbench should be made to. Hell, when I cedar lined my wife's closet and replaced the rods, my standard was that it needed to be able to hold 400 lbs at any single point on the rod. The previous rod had collapsed due to her trying to put so many clothes in a space that was that size. Anything worth engineering is worth OVER-engineering. For a workbench, you should shoot for being able to hold the entire weight of a diesel engine. This means building things with the wood in compression and not having it entirely supported by the shear loads of screws. I built a motorcycle dolly for my Harley and it easily supports the 800+ lbs (empty weight) of the bike while also being easy to move around. The casters that I used were taken off of two furniture moving dollies which were rated for 1000 lbs each, so theoretically my motorcycle dolly should hold 2000 lbs. With the weight of the motorcycle, fuel, and me, it's got around 1000 lbs on it. Everything is in compression and the carriage bolts are just to keep things from moving in sideways directions.

    @rexseven6907 2 года назад +4

    When building shelves like these, I have a recommendation...because they will ALWAYS end up with more weight than you anticipate. Put vertical 2x4s between each shelf. Both behind the front boards that you screw the shelves to and against the wall between the shelves. This takes the weight off of the fasteners and transfers it to the floor. Shearing off the screws is possible. Collapsing a vertical 2x4 is much more difficult. My two cents.

    • @WoodNerds

    I like the fact, admire really, that you point out your mistakes, so as to inform your followers not to do the same. Remember to measure once, and cut it as many times as it takes? " I cut it off twice, and the darn thing is still too short." We learn from our mistakes!

    • @WoodNerds

  • @SynchronizorVideos
    @SynchronizorVideos Год назад +5

    Wow, a DIY project that's actually DIY. Simple but effective design that pretty much anyone with very basic tools can pull off. Very nice video; I built my own garage shelving in a similar way, although mine are free-standing for flexibility and because my current place is a rental. Here are a handful of thoughts based on my own experiences, for viewers who are looking to try something like this themselves.
    •Home improvement & lumber stores can also cut your 2x4s for you if you do your planning and bring a cut list. They may charge a small fee, but it can save time overall - especially if you have limited power tools. You'll need to put in some more effort in the planning stages to generate that cut list, though.
    •For cutting plywood with a skill saw, a saw guide kit can really help keep those long cuts straight & square. These are pretty inexpensive and can help you get cuts as clean and straight as you'd get from a table saw.
    •If you don't have the equipment & know-how to do pocket holes, you can also get steel brackets to assemble an equivalent joint.
    •For the screws, do yourself a favor and pay the little bit extra for Torx or square-drive screws rather than Phillips.
    •If your shelves are mainly just used for totes & boxes, OSB can be a more cost-effective material than plywood. Either way, I prefer to screw those down rather than nailing them down. It takes more time, but it's easier to reconfigure or repair in the future. Likewise, gluing can become a headache down the road.
    •For the workbench, melamine board makes for a much nicer work surface than bare plywood, although you might stick with the plywood if it's really going to get a lot of rough treatment. But for a general-use garage workbench for the average homeowner, melamine board is really nice.
    •Finally, any workbench needs power outlets. There are lots of different options for this, but all of them will work better, go in easier, and look cleaner if you think ahead and make the wiring & outlets part of the original plan rather than an afterthought.

      @WoodNerds  4 года назад +1

      Thank you! Haha! It won’t be that hard to remove. A couple precision cuts and it will come right off. But I’d love if I sold the house to someone who appreciates it more than sees it as an obstacle. I personally, would have loved to move into a shop or storage minded house. The residents before us were missing out.

Ordered all the lumber on Wednesday, bought a Kregg’s jig, a couple of saw horses, and began clearing out my work space, located the studs, marked exactly like you did... Thursday my lumber arrived and I started measuring & cutting, I just followed along with your video... and by Friday afternoon I was done with everything except for the pegboard! I couldn’t believe it!! My previous carpenter skills consisted of repairing fences! I can’t thank you enough for all your help.

      Hey Mike! That means a lot man! I’m happy to hear the video was helpful. It’s literally just one board at a time and you can build anything, just takes time. I appreciate you stopping by to let me know it worked out for you! I hope you enjoy, and get a lot of use out of it! Your comments and feedback are always welcome!

    Another good practice would be to locate the horizontal and vertical electrical runs in your wall prior to fastening the shelves to the wall. Most modern stud finders will also have a voltage locating setting.

    Really cool build! I have a couple suggestions from builds I've done in the past. One thing I would recommend is to not glue and nail your plywood. If you end up wanting to change the layout or want to replace it with something else down the line it is going to make it a pain in the butt. Same with your worktop, you'll eventually scar it up pretty good and being able to just undo some screws and replace the board makes it super quick and easy. The final suggestion is to spend the extra money and get high quality decking screws. Torx heads are 1000x better than Phillips and they also are designed to hold lumber together and do a great job at it.
    I love the video and have subscribed to the channel. Keep up the awesome work!

    one recommendation I once received was to secure the supporting beams to the floor. Wood changes shapes or travels and may become an issue. I did just add a small piece and shot a nail into the concrete. On the plus shooting nails is a lot of fun

    Randomly found uour video bro. Awesome shelves. I bught a house recently that came with home build shelves. I dont like them so I started searching for diy benches and shelves for garages.
    I love the size you went with. The entire wall!!!!!!!
    I have those metal shelves from Walmart too... and hate them.
    I'm going to go all out and buy alot of wood, a cordless drill and a nail gun like yours and try my hand at an epic sized bench and shelves.
    Thanks for the inspiration!
    Keep up the good work. I dont have a diy channel but I do make alot of overlanding vids. Maybe I can inspire you as well.

    Great job and great advice! Just curious as to what you are storing in your storage containers. Are they tools or just personal spill over items from the home? If they are tools do you have any suggestions on how to organize?

    • @WoodNerds
      @WoodNerds  3 года назад +7

      Thank you! It’s all of the above! Mostly items from the house or items usually stored in the garage(car parts, cleaning supplies, camping gear, painting supplies, etc...). I do have tools and tool related gear in them as well (sand paper, screws, staples, shims, jigs, etc..). For the tool storage, I don’t pack those bins full, or if I do, I put them on a lower shelf (tools are heavy) and stack the most used tools on top and the least used on bottom. Tools that I use on a regular basis I keep on my bench (either on the pegboard or on the top itself). I might do a French cleat system in the future for heavier tool storage. As for now, this works really well. A nice tip is, add tape to the front of your bins and label what you keep in there. Very useful until the contents are committed to memory. I hope that helps! :)

    Just FYI, Harbor Freight has those same clamps you were recommending too. I say that because not only is Harbor Freight cheaper, but they also have a lifetime warranty. And while other brands may have a lifetime warranty as well, I've not found any clamps that were easier to exchange once they finally gave up the ghost.

      French Cleats in my opinion: are that they are good in theory but my shop and wall storage does not change often enough to utilize fully the french cleats for their modular design. Also it is sometimes limiting and the setup is quite a bit more work than what I think it is worth. Again this is just my opinion and lots of other youtubers use french cleats. I like just to use plywood and screw my holders to the plywood.
