Exactly some that is seriously lacking in 99% of North American homes. Why do the builders just make big gasping square hole in the wall and call it a closet and expect that is all what someone needs in terms of storage??? This type of organized closet needs to be part of the building code. thank you sir.
Glad you like it Danny. Thanks for posting your comment. Scott

As a Ministry of Labour certified health and safety representative I really appreciate seeing how safety conscious you are. I subscribed and liked in the first 2 minutes.
That's great! Thanks Dez. Scott
You are my hero. Finally something I can afford with a tight budget. Thanks
Glad I could help! Cheers. Scott
Awesome! I like how specific the explanation was. Some woodworkers don't really explain the process that well and it's hard to follow.
Thanks. I appreciate your feedback. Scott
Fact that you are so conscious about not using VOC's or formaldehyde based glue made me subscribe. Thats what sets you apart from the rest. Keep em coming.
Your design is clean, non-toxic, well thought-out, and simply ingenious especially removing the bracket and using the vertical wooden piece to support it. Thank you for the educational and succinct video.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I appreciate that. Scott
I really loved this video. No time-lapse, sped up nonsense. I learned a lot so thank you for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing that. Scott
You have such a calming voice!
Weslie Onsando sounds like I’m listening to NPR

Thanks Scott! Very inspirational and thoughtful!
You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Scott
An an indoor environmentalist, I appreciate your low-toxin approach! Curious if you’ve ever heard of AFM paint? They are the best for non-toxic paints and sealers. I’d love to hear what you typically like to use.
I’ve new to any wood work and I think this would be a perfect beginner project for my tiny closet space in the basement! Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Simple design but magnificent, I love it I wanna try carpentry now!
Love.from the Philippines!
Thanks Ariel for your comment. Nice to hear from someone in the Philippines too! That's so cool to be connecting with people so far from where I live, near Toronto. Scott
Fantastique

Home Improvement Woodworking thank you, keep on doing the great work, blessings.
The closet you showed before your project looked like my closet but I am so over it so I'm watching your video for help. Thanks so much!!!
You are welcome! It makes me happy to hear you found this helpful. Scott
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for the info on Formaldehyde in plywood I had to clue about that! The build was great I can't wait to try it!

Great! Have fun with your project Molly. Scott
You're an inspiration. I'm going to build this in the next couple weeks. Thank you for this
That's great! Good luck with your project! I'd love to see a photo. Scott
I am about to do pretty much the same project for a client. New home but she wants more shelves in her 3 three closets. Something you did here had me rethink my plan of attack. You measured, cut and attached each piece! Labeled them too! Sanded and painted. Then brought them back and really attached them permanently! My client has grayish interior walls with white shelves in her closets. I was gonna measure, cut and apply them. THEN paint them white. But I would waste more time by tapping the edges before painting. Possibly dripping some paint along the way. But i like your plan of attack. Measure, cut, temporary attach them ( with minimal hardware), Take it all to the shop, labeled. Sand them, paint them, bring it all back and firmly attach,..right? Thx for a great vid.
Great job, Scott. You are a natural on video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Greg! I recognize your cabin photo.... looking good! Scott
Very nice work. I needed some inspiration for my guest closets so thank you.
Thanks for your comment Kenneth! I appreciate that
To the point! Followed your instructions and did my own! Thanks
Great to hear! We share these videos to encourage others to be successful with their projects so it's very rewarding to her this helped you on your project! Thanks for sharing that. Scott
Perfect timing for this video. Looks like a good winter project. I'll tackle this along one side of our garage to start and then probably along the garage door side afterward. Will probably swap in some 2x4s, but I definitely like the simplicity of the design (it works really nicely for 10' ceilings). Might throw on some stain (or just paint) to dress it up a notch! 3:28
We have a video for free floating garage shelving if you're interested in that too - make with 2x4's and they're really strong - ruclips.net/video/R3hrtPWMkXM/видео.html Cheers, Scott
Excellent and useful wood work.
Instrument used to trim off the edges is very useful.Such instrument gives good finish to the job.
Thank you. Yes, those edge band trimers work well and save a lot of time. Scott
Thank you so much!!
I was looking for an idea for my closet, this work is great 👍

Thank you.
You're welcome. Scott
Ugh i have a small condo, no garage, not that much storage and not that many tools buut im still here wishing i could replicate all of these cool projects 😓 one day, one day ...
Glad you like them. I lived in an apartment at one time and it was an exiting move to setup my first workshop. It's good to have aspirations! Scott
Excellent video thank you! You explain so good and did an nice job.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing that. Scott
Great work! I don't understand how anyone can go thumbs down on this video? Keep up the great work!
Thank you Randy! Scott
The local carpenter who would have over charged for this.
Lowe's or home Depot sell these with the holes already drilled and painted. I built a whole Closet in a whole room.
Yes, that's an option for building shelves. In this bedroom, I didn't want to add any indoor air pollution so I used plywood without formaldehyde glue and no-VOC paint. The material you mentioned would "off-gas", creating some indoor air pollution.
And not to mention the quality difference in what he built and a prebuilt unit. Store bought isnt half as good as the plywood he used.
Love the closet but I have so much clothes that I literally need the whole closet for clothes lol women problems 😭
So simple! I must do this!
Thanks for your comment Chris. I'm happy to hear it provided some inspiration. Scott
Thank you very informative! I'm going to apply this technique to other things. 3:59
You're welcome. Scott
ha ha I'm going through the exact same process we just bought two older houses recently and the closets are just like yours and the boards are always warped with the same rod it's like every closet was made exactly the same back then.
Yes, builder grade closets don’t last long after some use. Good luck on your closet projects!
Love this!!
Thank you for your message! Scott
You explain very well. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Scott
Muy bella voz.
Incredible job! thoroughly enjoyed your video :)
Thank you! Cheers!
You make it look too easy. Great work.
Thank you! Cheers!
thank for the video and this is good to know and to build a shelves for the closet
thanks again
Glad it was helpful!
Soon as I heard you say the word “house”, I said Canada. Lol. Then checked the about part of the channel.
Love the video. I’ve never really thought about a closet project like this. Might have to put it on the list. Thanks.
That's funny. I heard Canadians say "about" funny to some people, but not "house", that's a new one to me. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the chuckle. Scott
Lol. Yeah it’s that word too. Pretty much most of the words that have an “ou” combo in it sound distinguished to us. Tomorrow is another one I’ve caught too. Lol. I enjoy watching wood workers from all over the world. I did enjoy the video and look forward to more free time where I can watch some more.
Thank you sir.
I like it 💕
Very nice, all we need, is tools and s little bit of patience.
Yes, patience is key to working on woodworking projects. Thanks for your comment Roberto. Scott

Definitely a handy storage project. 5:37
Thank you for that! Scott
I watched this whole thing, it was great and informative. But I don’t think I will ever do this. I’ll just wait to tell my uncle and he can watch your video 🤣🤦🏽♀️👍🏼 still, great video
Thanks for sharing that. It sounds like you're inspired by the finished project. Cheers. Scott
I'm gonna give it a shot

Thank you! Scott
Brilliant
Thank you. Cheers.
Great work
Thank you Maya. Scott
I have a closet that has the same angled wall in the closet, however they left the acute angled wall instead of a parallel wall. How is this closet finished? How would you install a similar organizer with my unusual wall?
Great work! 👍
Thank you. Scott
Than you for the video. Very helpful
You're welcome. Cheers. Scott
Good job from Philippines 😍
Thank you! Scott
Amazing. My dad and I are building this tmr
Cool. That's nice to hear. Good luck with your project this weekend! Scott
Hi Scott, your calm and composed demeanour along with the use of simple tools is really confidence inspiring. Most of the videos I have watched, use a kreg jig which is not available in my country, and I was looking for something which I could do without breaking the bank while importing a tool and paying high international shipping rates and customs duty, so thank you for this video.
I have a couple of questions, and would really appreciate your input since you really seem to know what you’re doing. I'm an absolute beginner, so please forgive me if my questions are silly. I've been trying to gather information from the inernet on how to build a similar project and came across your video. I have a couple of questions, I don't mean to undermine your knowledge with these questions, but just to gain clarity because I’m coming across some conflicting information which is leaving me rather confused given my lack of experience.
I read that if you screw into the side of plywood, like when attaching shelves, the screw goes in between the plies and the plies separate over time due to the load on the shelf which leads to the shelf cracking.
Secondly, i read that glue should always be used as screws alone are not strong enough.
Is there any merit to these points? The glue is not really a concern as I can always add some while assembling it, however my first question is what's currently holding me back from starting on the project. Do I need to use a certain kind of plywood to avoid splitting? Should I add cleats underneath the shelves and let the shelves rest on them instead (like you did on the left of the cabinet)?
I would really appreciate it if you could please clarify this for me/any one else in my position who may read this.
Thank you and cheers from India.
Happy to help. If you don't drill pilot holes in the plywood, it will likely split. A pilot hole is a hole the same size as the shaft of the screw. That way only the threads are biting into the wood. Use screws that are 3/4 to 1 inch into the plywood. Generally "glue and screw" is the best practice for woodworking, but for a storage shelf, I know screws will hold this together and it allows me to take it apart in the future without issues. I hope that helps. Scott
@@HomeImprovementWoodworking Thank you so much Scott, this answers all my questions 😃
Thanks for sharing Scott! Any concern about not securing the main vertical board to the floor? Obviously you’ve got it fixed at the top and the side but wasn’t sure something might be necessary at the bottom.
Because I used 3/4 inch plywood, it's not going to flex so securing it at those two points is sufficient. Cheers. Scott
Awesome Job Sir👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! 👍
Great video and thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
❤wonderful 😊
Emmezing
Hermoso 👍
Gracias. Scott
