Hey April, you can also use a box/closed end wrench to tighten those L brackets into the wall. Just a thought for anyone that thinks that might be easier.
Thanks for another great video.
omg this is exactly what I was describing to my wife as a design for a guitar rack, except for many guitars - the image I had in my mind was going to the store as a kid and flipping through posters at store displays. You've built something that exceeds weight requirements (average bike vs average guitar) so all I need to do is measure out how much room per how many guitars I've got and test a couple builds to make sure they'll hold up/work as desired.
Thanks for sharing this, I'm showing it to my wife rn so I don't have to draw a picture later... :-)
Awesome video!
Love the clever and simple method for finding the 45 supports, and the position on the wall.
thanks for all your videos!
Hello from France Ms Wilkerson.
Thank you for your great job .
Always good ideas, simple projects,as well as complex ones ,every one can find tips in each of your projects .
These videos must take lot of your time to put together .keep on .we followers love your work .
Take care and stay safe.
( music in background : excellent )
Simple, easy, and effective...can't ask for more :)
Outstanding idea. I love the simplicity of it.
Something I never knew I needed until right now! You are the best April!!
Recently I had a similar idea, except I plan to use an old seatbelt from the junkyard. Mounting the seatbelt to a ceiling joist and putting on a hook that will attach to the center of the handlebar, lifting up the bike and then letting it go quickly should engage the seatbelt's locking mechanism. Then slightly lifting the bike and gently lowering it should allow me to take it down again easily. In case anyone else is inspired by this, keep in mind that the several seatbelts I have tested this idea with all locked up when they were held upside down or at too much of an angle. So either find one that's supposed to be mounted in whatever position fits your build, or change your design accordingly.
But if my seatbelt idea turns out not to work as well as I intended, I now have an excellent fallback plan :)
These are really cool, you can buy brackets to do this but I've wanted to make some nice timber ones too. You can put a couple of guide blocks on the wall for the rear wheel so it doesn't swing around but that's more important with multiple bikes.
Thank you for the idea for bike storage, and the hack of using a clamp for a leverage!!! Much love from Oklahoma!!!
I really enjoy watching your content. You’re awesome. Thanks for all your ideas
Beautiful project, thanks for sharing it !! 👍
Loved this design April. Simple and efficient.
Hey- April Wilkerson- you could also mount these on those steel storage racks on the uprights. My storage racks are secured to the wall studs in my garage and the fold out feature of this bike rack still gives me access to the contents on the racks! The racks have holes already drilled and they sell those brackets with bolt ends too rather than screw ends. Great design!
Brilliant 👍
I can build one on my own, for few dollars.
Thanks for showing me this DIY Bike Rack
Def adding this design to my garage.
This is great. Spring cleaning has me thinking about that lineup of mountain bikes in my garage, and I totally plan on using this idea. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome! EZ-PZ & something I've needed for a VERY long time! Than you very much!
This was a FUN video to watch April! Between the vitamins and bike you will stay in tip top shape. 😆😉
Awesome work April! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Neato project, thanks for sharing. And I reckon you could always add a simple eye bolt and use a thin bungie cord to keep the bike against the wall. By the way, I DO like your new style for featuring your sponsors.
Excellent idea April!
Should warn people that you need to watch out for the disk brakes when determining the size of the gussets. You don't want the bike resting on the brake calipers or rotors.
And this bike is clearly resting on the calipers...
I’m pretty sure she mentions that.
How to avoid that? What would be best solution?
@@JediStratos my bike has 29inch wheels , I've cut the length of the bottom timber to 25inches , the wheel doesn't sit as deep then but is still perfect
@@dombarnes6322 thanks, how do you like it? If bike (mainly wheels) sits on this during winter, lets say 6 months, are there any signs of damage on tyre or rim? I imagine that all bike weight is sitting on front wheel and hanging in the air... Any experience sharing would be most welcome
Wow!!! Thanks so much mighty woman of God! Have a super Saturday! God bless you, your family, and your wonderful staff!
Thank you so much. God bless you and all you love!
Most importantly. I like the bike. Mtn Biking is my happy place. My next happy place is building cool stuff. Great channel!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my channel. Thanks for watching.
I love how you get tickled with your own work :)
You could always attached a hook latch to lock the rack in place.
Great job April, we appreciate your sharing and your great ideas. Stay safe and keep up the great work and videos. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Thanks so much!
This is like OG Wilker-dos! Nice job!
excellent idea.. i will be trying for myself one. keep making video like this..
I have a commercial solution that does this exactly, great DIY! From that rack, I learned that if you add a v-block for the bottom tire, it'll keep the bike more 'vertical' when it's stored swiveled against the wall. Don't know if you *need* it, but I think it helps swivel back to perpendicular when you go to take the bike down.
Nice! Another Great Idea that Hardly Costs Anything.
I made something similar to hold our 6 bikes. I have a 2x4 vertically to keep the back tire with the front and to keep tire marks off my white wall. Two door hinges per 2x4 to swing and be close to the wall. A small hook and eye on each one to help hang and remove bikes. I have the bikes staggered up and down a foot to take up less space.
Very nice and simple build April!
Good job👍. All explained some of the possible downsides, which others don't.
Long live your wish 🌷I loved this idea of using the space
Awesome video and personality! keep on building. thanks
Oh hell yeah!!! I'm doing this!
Not just another pretty face. Fantastic setup. Made that look easy, and super practical. Nice touch with the 45's on the back - small enough detail, but pays large dividends with saving space!
I'm not a fan of the bike hook, for prolonged periods of time. I know they've been around for years, and I know bike shops use them for days, but the thought of all of the bikes weight, on a half inch (or less) section of rim, pulling against a piece of hardened steel, for an extended period of time, is not a pleasant one. I'm probably being pedantic, but then again, I am a bike rider. Your solution definitely solves the weight distribution "concern"!! 👏👏👏
This may be the multiple bike solution I've been looking for.
I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
I will build some for my bike shop..thanks april..cheers
Perfect timing! It just started raining here and I was looking for a way to keep my bike away from the elements, definitely building this!
Awesome! Glad you found it useful.
I made three of these in my workshop for our mountain bikes and they work perfectly!
Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for Sharing and for watching.
Add a Stationary Lock for loading and unloading which can be switched to each as needed on the fly. Nice work.
Nice work April.
Great project!
Haha, very neat idea!!! Love it!!!
Awesome! Thanks April.
Thank you for watching.
Good design!
Great ideal works great 👍. Thanks 😊🙏
Brilliant! Im doing this.
Very nice. A block on the wall just above the top "hinge" would insure the unit will not lift off when you are removing the bike, too.
I liked the video. I was in the market to buy a bike rack and instead will make this. Great content!
So good!
I love this idea and I just had an interesting idea to modify it for my own space. The rack itself would remain the same, but different mounting. Instead of using a hinged mechanism, you could flip the blocks on the back and mount angled (french cleat style) rails on the wall VERTICALLY for the bracket to be held inside with a stop block at the bottom. This would act like a track for the bike rack to move up and down on. This way you could rack your bike and using a rope and pulley, hoist the rack (w/ bike) up the wall and completely out of the way. Tie off the rope to a cleat and your done. When you want to use the bike, undo the rope from the cleat, let it slide down the wall until it hits the stop block and you're ready to pull it off the rack and be on your way.
I like the idea of moving the rack (w/ bike) up and down. Just not quite understand how it works. Do you have some details?
I was thinking the same thing. I use a french cleat system for my landscaping tools and like the modular ability. May have to finally do this bike project and get my stable off the floor and onto the wall
Thanks for sharing idea👍 exactly what I was looking for and the free plans are a bonus!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Great idea. Probably will copy it.
Love her laugh and personality.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
The blink of an eye is even more charming than a hand gesture.
Hell, I think I just found a way to store my shovels,rakes etc…😂😂😂 thank you!
You could drill holes in the horizontal bracket and have it come with a few short dowels and make it adjustable for different size tires, diameter-wise.
Very nice... and your shop is wayyyyy too neat and clean LOL
Highly recommended
Perfect!
April me encantó sensillo y muy bueno. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱 👏👏👏
Great! Glad you enjoyed it. Greetings from Texas!
I like it thanks for sharing 👍
Nice one!
Great design
Drill the stinger for a pin right at the base of the flange the wood rests on, then carve two troughs in the wood block to make two detent positions, one folded and one 90deg.
I would cut triangles out of scrap plywood and make covers to go bothe side triangles. That way you could drive multiple screws in each member to attach the plywood and add strength to it. I feel like those joints might spread or come apart over time as you load and unload the bike.
Very interesting, watching you from Algeria
great idea n practical too
Glad you like it!
Ciao April è sempre un piacere vederti
Ciao Carmelo! It is good to be seen. :) Thanks for watching.
I love it!!! Thank you
I'm glad you like it
Nice idea. I like it ... was just thinking with such high ceiling using some line and pulleys you can move it completely out ot the way
You merged my love of woodworking and mountain biking. This is 2nd project on my to do list after I finish building my new woodshop (in progress - drywall mudding)
Perfect.
Take a scrap piece of 2x, cut it as wide as the mount and just set it on top of the lower wall mount block. This will lock it in place when you want to get the bike on and off. Attach a string to it and let it hang when it's swiveled to the side.
You're awesome!
Can you make one for cars? Thank you in advance.
I can build a stationary version of this for my kids’ bikes. Thanks!
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing and for watching.
*Please* get some bar end plugs for those handlebars. Core sampling yourself is such a quick, dangerous yet easily preventable crash injury 🙈
Very good
Great idea! I have 3 bikes I need to hang in my shed. I am going to follow your plan, but the way I do it, I make it, then I remake it, then I remake the remake, then I have it completed. About 3 days' work for me, I figure.
You know how to tell if someone is a mountain biker... We will tell you! :P nice bike!
Thank you for this very timely idea. We just bought a house (with a garage) and I have to figure out where the bikes go.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Thank you! And thanks for watching. :)
Me encanta esto
good video thats back to your roots. nothing fancy just good ol' April.
I've never picked projects by Viewer Request rather I build what I need and want bringing a camera along to show how I did it. My Viewers are such a variety of skill set, if I do complicated builds people complain I've lost my roots. If I do simpler builds, more advanced wood workers complain I am lazy and slacking. Sure is hard to please everyone.
@@AprilWilkerson just please yourself. I gravitate towards the see a need fix the need vids. But I’m amazed at what y’all do with a couple boards and a vision.
I just bought and installed 3 Vertical Hinge bike racks. $40 each, and harder to load the bike into than your design. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for last week, but when I couldn't find it, I ended up buying an inferior product. Maybe I'll upgrade to your design in the spring!
You could intentionally make it off level so it would automatically lay in to one side or against the wall.
Hello from Poland
Nice bike
aside from agreeing with the possibility of angle bracket corners or some reinforcement (as many 2 x s are weak or warped etc), the only thing i wish you would do is couple another bracket beside it for another bike. I would be most currious the overal space saved when two pivot sideways but are close enough to somewhat nest.
The only improvements to this I can see are:
1. Having a brass bushing in the wood blocks that the lag hinges can pivot in, enough time in the wood and it will expand and eventually split out.
2. Using metal straps to secure all the wood joints better
Nice. I will make one like that , im not a carpenter but i give it a shot. 👍
Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Enjoy the build. Thanks for watching.
I'm going to make them
perfect
8:38 Interesting use of the word "simple". love your work
simpler than simple box
Easy to put on and take off.
Saw this type rack, planning to make such when it is warmer.
Btw: when you cut angles, were they same angle?
