Thank you! This will be really helpful as I need to build a shelf across a narrowish space in my garage. Compiling ideas from various videos and this will be one of them.
Great job sir, I was trying to find out how to best do a project like this and your video gave me the best ideas 🎉
Год назад+1
Thank you for your sharing, I would suggest using some voltage detector to avoid drilling into cable/power line on the ceiling (and around garage opener)
Thanks for a highly informative and well produced video. This was very helpful in guiding me through some tricky support issues relating to the existing rafters and framing.
Interesting…. I would probably have ended up with a very similar product, but would have arrived at the similar end but by taking a pretty different route to get there. Your thought process applied to the assembly is just completely different. Good stuff.
Not bad. This summer's project is the garage after I get the chicken coop and chickens in place; build my shed/shop, repair the fence gates, and fix a car engine. :)
My wife is begging me make a chicken coop too. There are precut sets you may consider and only deal w assembly. Would probably cost not more than full DIY. As for garage shelving- I did the same but instead of supporting w ceiling, my 2x4 supports sit in the floor. Unless you really need the open space at the bottom of the shelf, I feel like it was easier and more sturdier. Good luck in your projects bud!
30:14 I think that a threaded rod for the vertical support to the ceiling would be a more efficient support. It occupies less space and can be easily adjusted up and down. Otherwise a great video!
Well done! Good tip to pre-mount the screws at the proper distance for the studs. Excellent tip for using the laser level. Nice technique drilling the angled holes on the ends of the boards. What is the brand of Stud Finder? Liked and Subscribed.
I was just thinking that. Maybe he was pre-drilling, for demonstrative purposes. So viewers, not familiar with "toe nailing", would understand he was driving screws in at an angle to pull the boards together(like pocket holes). Or, for his own piece of mind that he was sending them at the right angle, since he said some of the joists were not reaching the beams. He did an amazing job, of explaining and demonstrating everything so well as so easy to follow, except perhaps the toenailing of the joists. And, we watch him do -each and every one, on camera & drills the angle 1st, so I am confident everyone watching got that too. Layman watching, people who do not know the high shear strength of today's screws; who might have thought "oh no, what do you mean the boards aren't touching?" Lol.; they may have been more reassured by joist hangers. I only thought of that, watching the videos and critiquing it's helpfulness for a 1st timer. I put a how to article on a forum for basement shelves i did a while back.- I did not use or need joist hangers, but now, I think I'll add them to the educational article, as it's aimed at newbies. There are so very many new channels. BUT, RK nailed this how 2 demonstration. He was thorough and still straight to the point, as his channel title promises. I will, for sure, check out his other videos and share his channel with others. Advice is easy to find on YT. What we really need, is good advice and practical applications, like this.
@@markdavich5829 of course you are technically correct, Mark D.. But with today's self tapping deck screws and the "hammering" action of an impact driver; TCPM, is just saying it's not necessary. You, could argue that even hammer & nails split wood. But, then we'd argue that with the high moisture content of big box store lumber (downright juicy, if it's pressure treated Lol) and driving through the side like this, splitting's doubtful. Plus he had three surfaces to drive through if one spot spit & a joists appearance was not an issue with these shelves. But, it was a 'how to' for potential DIY motivated non-experienced folk, so I do agree with his choice to pre-drill. Thought, mostly as a demonstrative aid & because a first timer would likely be more successful, at least starting off pre-drilling. ✌
@@Mantis858585 @John Smith 😂🔨. John, it say's 'basic tools' right in the title. Brand competition & Harbor Freight make compressors & air tools attainable to all. But I get that most homeowner's, just starting to consider a bit of Honey-do diy, may not think so. I see he used the nail gun for sheet goods. Maybe he thought viewers could imagine being able to attach shelving anyway they could, but joist hangers & nailer for attaching joists to beams, may have made the build seem to need more than basic tools. I recommend palm-nailer & joist hangers for a diy'er even if they think it'd be their one & only project(borrowed compressor). I helped my dad with a small ground level deck that way. He'd have rejected a framing nailer & think I was showing off.(he could be an ass) I told him "the palm-nailer is for me, just so I can keep up with you." @age 75 he was 6'3 feet solid working man's muscle & scary strong, I turned the compressor on, nailed a half row of boards & then I went in the house to "take 5". I hadn't even poured my lemonade before the sound of Dad's steady 2 strike hammer blows was replaced by the crazy fast tat-tat-tat of my harbor freight palm nailer. I did eventually go back outside. He'd drawn a crowd of neighbors, all pushing 80 and all taking turns with the palm nailer. We got them all a deck full of patio furniture for father's day & Dad let the neighbors know the patio belonged to them all. They all used it. but called it "Lisa's deck". & When they did my Pop would light up with pride. I was kind of like wtf? I legit put a roof on the house when I was 11 years old, my neighbor's were impressed, but Dad just said "it only needed patched" But hey, better late then never, no "Cat's in the Cradle" BS with me. Lol. They could all be found on Lisa's deck in our our back yard, nearly every day for the next 2 years, when my Pop passed. Before the funeral, we cut the posts & the 4 neighbors with help from me & my husband carried it next door, so no-one would think for a second that it wasn't still all of theirs. Everyone on YT talks about sharing wood working with the young. But at 40, my carpentry brought me back to my Pop & earned me a special place in the hearts of the folks from the old neighborhood, that I probably don't deserve; but will gladly take. Lol Thanks4 letting me reminisce. 🛠Lisa♿
Nice job. Only thing was the video was long cause you showed drilling of every screw, etc. Plus you explaing to see here from the far end of the garage and camera is on other end making it hard to see.
I've been building shelves similar to this for 2-3 decades. I see a few errors in how it's constructed that can result in weak points. For instance, do not put the end of the 2x4 in the same location as the end of the OSB on the first large shelf. Both seams are together in one location on the shelf and will result in a weak point.
It’s NOT necessary. The shelves are anchored on the 2x4s against the walls. THAT’s where the holding strength is. The upright studs are for outer shelf support.
Well done.
Nice, like to see a few modifications and made into a she-loft with mini fridge, tv and nice stuffed chair!

I have used Chain also to support platform. Works very well!! Kids sleep up there and haven't fallen yet!!!! ha ha
This home must be in Toronto or near by...seriously 1 car garage!...good job handyman!!
Looks like a perfect space for shelf is over garage door
My contractor friend builds these. He uses a length of chain and screw in hooks from the ceiling. Looks clean and very strong.
Great job, very useful shelves excellent for storage. You always need storage space.
Great Job!! I enjoyed watching your work and will use this in my future work! Thanks for sharing!
I love this thank you
Nice build.
Looks nice and strong!
Awesome idea. I did the same thing in my garage last summer.

I built some shelves for a customer a couple of years ago just like those. Very strong good job.

Great project, great job, great explanations. Thank-you
Good job
great job buddy.
Good job 👍
Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent
Thank you man !
Nice build. I think I would of used lag screws to attach to the walls and joist hangers on the cross members. Nice storage area
30:14 I think that a threaded rod for the vertical support to the ceiling would be a more efficient support. It occupies less space and can be easily adjusted up and down. Otherwise a great video!
Nice job I would have nailed it all together and then screwed it to the wall . Stronger

Your ideas, innovation, and experience is great. But I can't hear you. Thanks
question regarding the garage . i have a similar apartment detached garage with only only T-handle lock . any better way to secure it ?
Great job creating extra space, if you are using an impact driver with the proper screw bit size you won't have to pre-drill
I was just thinking that. Maybe he was pre-drilling, for demonstrative purposes. So viewers, not familiar with "toe nailing", would understand he was driving screws in at an angle to pull the boards together(like pocket holes).

He has a nail gun, not sure why he's using screws.
Pre-drilled holes prevent splitting the wood.

What kind of step ladder do you have 1030 am?
I would have painted the walls first, what's up with that🤔
I've been building shelves similar to this for 2-3 decades. I see a few errors in how it's constructed that can result in weak points. For instance, do not put the end of the 2x4 in the same location as the end of the OSB on the first large shelf. Both seams are together in one location on the shelf and will result in a weak point.
I thought my garage was small.
1 screw…..really? 🤔 not putting a support in each inside corners was a missed opportunity for more strength.
It’s NOT necessary. The shelves are anchored on the 2x4s against the walls. THAT’s where the holding strength is. The upright studs are for outer shelf support.
Plus what do you think he's storing on there?a bunch of 24v deep cycle marine batteries?? We al know it's just a bunch of Xmas stuff lol
