- Making the most of a small shop Ep.2.
Getting rid of some of the clutter in my shop by installing a suspended shelf that can fold up into the roof and out of the way.
IMPORTANT: The shelf is NOT completely finished as it poses a degree of risk of injury. I still need to install a safety mechanism that would prevent accidental drops by attenuating folding speed and supporting the bulk of the weight. I am currently working on such a solution and hope to add it soon.

Very nice. Only one thing I would change. Because it comes down right against the wall, you cannot have anything behind it on the wall, forcing the wall to be empty at all times. I would suggest pulling the unit away from the wall (with some sort of stopper when it is pulled down, of course) so that you can have space to store additional items on the wall.
Yes. This.
I wanted to say, that while I was looking at this setup as the "perfect" solution to my 1 car shop, I NEEDED your comment! Honestly, why wouldn't you flat store tools and have the bulky things drop when needed! Thank you for being kind enough to point out even further practicality!
No need a stopper... put the hinge in line with the shelf's front.
(You can keep very rately used tools in lost place between the hinges and wall-above the shelf unit).
My 2 cents...
Yes I agree. If you have a cabinet or workbench along a wall you could build this to fold down in front of those cabinets when needed. As for dealing with the weight and to make it even easier you could put a pully and cable to close them. Even use a small electric wench and then you could just mount a up and down on the wall. I have a single car shop and space is tight. I would like to do this in my walk in closet too.
Or use shelves with wheels that can be moved when you want to pull this down
I am so PISSED OFF right now! Why did it take RUclips SO LONG to introduce me to this channel!! It's fantastic. My Grandfather was a civil engineer, and used to send me plans for what I wanted to build. Unfortunately he passed away last week, and I just got back from the funeral yesterday. I'm thankful I found someone else with such engineering prowess. Reminds me of him.
get yourself a copy of Fusion 360 and sort out using it... then you can make your own as well. Seems to be going to replace SketchUp for hobby use I think.
That’s the $64,000 question I’ve subscribed quite a while ago and I have troubles finding it all the time
I REALLLLLLLLY like the explanation of why you’re doing what you’re doing instead of just narrating your process to the audience like many other related channels.
My shop is 24' x 24' and I thought I had a tiny space. I watched this and many others on your channel and all I to say.... WOW. You are an absolute wood working genius. SUBSCRIBED!
Yes, you absolutely should explore the usecase(s) of an in-home-oriented version of this. After watching this I'm imagining replacing shelves, the kitchen cabinets, closets.. WALLS! Gonna make m'self a fine modular home. You want two rooms? Three rooms? No rooms? Just pull down the appropriate shelf-wall(s) for the task.
Great job! And its good to have the constant commentary of what you are doing instead of background music.
I hate background music
I agree completely!
Agreed!
Great to see a fellow South African publishing videos of amazing engineering and skills with limited resources!
Those shelves, and that work table are two of the cleverest builds I've ever seen! I hope you have a video for the work bench!
WRT the dowel rod inside of PVC pipe, next time, score the dowel rod with grooves that either run down the length of the rod or in a spiral pattern. As you watch your video of assembly, when you are pressing the dowel rods into the tubes, you see the MAJORITY of the glue being wiped out of the joint. The grooves hold the reserve of the glue inside the joint while the glue cures. This IS the reason why premade dowel pins have those grooves in them. Lots of experience went into that simple modification, best to copy it.
No idea why this ended up in my recommendations, but holy christ am I glad it did. Amazing job, love the concept!
I am loving this design. Very impressive. That multi-function bench blew my mind as well!
You just kept pulling tools out of your work table! lol It's awesome!
When you pulled the lathe out, I was like, wtf did that come from!? lol
Probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in a workshop.
The cloths storage idea would be great. They would also be lighter than shop tools and screws. Shoes, sweaters and extra sheets stored on the ceiling. The designs I saw from the 1950s extended the back support all the way under the lowest bin, giving more stability.
Young man, I like how you wear hearing and eye protection as well as a dust mask. That's a good example to set. I've subscribed.
except when hes using the hammer drill into the cinderblock which is arguably just as bad/worse than the wood dust...
not to be entirely negative! great video and design work, subbed.
Off topic question, but why is your username "truth is truth" ?
Except when using the drill press...
Why use a respirator for dust?
@@slrs3908 - fine dust particles get into the lungs and your body can't get them out. It causes respiratory problems and in some cases cancer. It is as bad or worse than smoking.
This was a great build. Please follow your brother's advice and adapt it for bedroom use. I would buy it! I'll buy this one for the workshop as well. I don't have enough space in my shop or my bedroom, so please, make them and sell them!!! Great video.
Your idea has just solved my battery tool storage problems thanks man also in UK
Always a pleasure!
I don't know how such genius idea have thumbs down. Must be envy people with a 'simple ideas brain'.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Absolutely genius construction.
what a pleasure to watch a follow the steps. Extremely well explained. I have a double garage for vehicles to park at night and find i have to move things around very often. this is most definitely my immediate next project. Well DONE
My goodness if that isn’t the coolest thing ever. Absolutely amazing. Loved the video progression, kept it interesting and kept us involved along through the whole ride. I have to say after all the building, when we heard the latch “click” , that was extremely satisfying. Good job. Loved the vid, thanks for posting. I’ll be checking out more of your channel. 👍
The idea and execution of this shelf is marvelous!
I'm about to set up a small workshop in a single garage too and just discovered your channel.
That's what I call a stroke of luck!
Your brother is absolutely right about the clothes storage for small spaces! I watched this all the way through as it’s the closest thing I’ve found to an idea for linen storage where there limited space. We’ve got super high ceilings in our home, and being able to modify this design to drop down linen storage would be perfect! Of course it would need refinement for indoor usage. :-)
Always appriciate a quality South African video. Will be making a couple of these for my garage. Thank you
Idk why I watched this but this is on another level of constructing, one might say 'top shelf' building.
Brilliant idea and great execution. Well done. So nice to see fellow South Africans posting great content.
It all makes sense now. Well the accent at least
This is brilliant. You have got to take this as far as you can
Ingenious. This would work in a ton of applications such as motor homes; campers; tiny homes; kitchens; and toolboxes to name a few.
This was the most intelligent storage design I have *EVER* seen!
Awesome storage idea. I can see this being used for Tiny Houses and such. So yes, please do refine for other storage. Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, bookshelf, gaming shelf, and even an entertainment center if one is crazy enough to make it.
Definitely would work with lightweight storage. Although I am tall, I can see unlatching it as a hassle for some. I am curious to see about making a floor platform with this kind of a mechanism in mind for a tiny house type scenario as they love to use both upper and lower hidden storage.
@@postscript1561 I think for a floor platform you could basically reverse it and move or add a platform to the top (now bottom) of the shelves I'm thinking for like plates, utensils, spices, etc... with a desk/kitchen combo, fold the desk up, lift the chair/floor, and you have a kitchen ready to go. you could even make a shower like that, make the lower shelves smaller, and add a cloth and shower head on the top one.
using a latch with a rope, car trunk cylinders for slowing it down, and a pulley on the you can make an overhead hidden compartment that even children can use.
Coming from the floor or the roof is either way not very efficient for tiny homes. You save space when it’s open/close but you also need a clear space in order to open and to close the whole thing.
It’s a good design for nails and workshop storage, yes, but for spices that you’ll need to open atleast twice a day it becomes less reliable.
As an alternative I can propose one genius idea I saw in a friend’s parents’ house. They have drawers & cabinets in their non-supportive walls. It sounds stupid but it saves a lot of space !
The best storage solution I have ever seen. Absolutely brilliant. I will be applying this to my workshop. 10 out of 10 mate.
this is fucking stupid, you have to take the shit off the shelf to put the storage thing up
Gregory Everson have you even watched the video?
Gregory Everson Watch from 19:14 to 19:48 to see how it works when folded up.
I like it too. I have made something similar for an under-counter spice rack.
@@gregoryeverson741 - That is incorrect. You have misunderstood the function. Watch to the end.
That's genius! Great use of otherwise dead space!
Would absolutely recommend a bedroom storage or clothes shelf like this. Its essentially the same concept as the fold away beds and ironing boards. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned into a million dollar idea.
I dont normally sub to anything. But i am to you. Best youtuber for this stuff. You explain everything for literally anyone to understand and build themselves.
Great idea. And concerning the storage in small flats or so, that was one of my first touhgts when I saw you building this! Sure you should try! Looking forward to see the video.
I agree with your brother. This design could work in small bedrooms, pantries sheds. Also it could be finished with a stain for added beauty and durability. If you use fine wood veneers, this could look like a beautiful indoor cabinet. I’ve subscribed as well. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects. 👍🏼
Clothes don't weight too much so that's a plus
Really well done. Your brother is correct. Get a patent!! Love the ability!!!
It is public now => no patent!
GRASIAS POR COMPARTIR TU EXELENTE IDEA. DIOS TE BENDIGA HOY MAÑANA Y SIEMPRE GRASIAS. MI BUEN AMIGO
Your ideas and precision work is excellent. Keep it up and I will share your posts as well. Thanks so much.
Tip for this:
Place your heavier items on the upper shelf as the hinge itself will carry the predominant portion of the weight making it easier for you to open and close.
Granted this means that you have to lift the heavy items to the high shelf, but you won't have to again lift them every time you open and close it.
I think that depends on whether you lower and lift the whole shelf more, or that heavy thing on and off the top shelf. I'd guess the former, but it's a situational thing.
Great engineering, great explanations, great instructional video
If it was mounted away from the wall a bit you could have had some wall cupboards as well. Love the concept of this and the multi function bench.Good job.
Peter Guilliatt
Yeah that bench!
As I was watching I was thinking I bet he has a router tucked away under there! and there it is! I bet he has drum sander there waiting to poke its head up somewhere.
that is a really great idea since I was thinking the shelves would be nice for used items that are only somewhat used
Great idea, perhaps a storage cabinet for seldom used equipment and when you need it you just lift the shelves up to gain access.
The cupboards could be on a slid and counterweight the shelves.
I 2nd you on that.
Maybe the best shop storage system I've seen on the net. Don't ever loose being the fine craftsman you are but you might have the key to some amazing financial rewards right there. At least patent it.
By far best storage project on RUclips, AWESOME! Thanks from Australia.
A really good and instructive video on a great idea with even better execution. I can imagine building something like this, sunk into the ceiling of bedrooms in older homes that may have wooden ceilings instead on concrete ones, right between the support beams. I really like the way you narrate and give clear instructions and explanations for everything you're doing. Clearly, you're my new source of inspiration. Liked and subscribed, will definitely be coming back here for more ideas, thanks!
This is a brilliant idea! I can imagine all sorts of applications. I particularly like that it utilizes otherwise useless space. I am wondering about weight capacity for shop storage. I know piano hinges can carry surprisingly heavy loads and the common carriers could be made of oak and laminated with metal if need be. Great concept!
Best build I've seen in 2019
I'm laughing as I'm typing this my friend. It's simply brilliant and I was looking for a really good storage solution to get some tools or other items up to my workshop ceiling. I only have a 16x10ft shop which is about the same as ur shop my bro. Ur shop is probably a bit bigger by the looks of it but I think not by much.. Maybe a foot or 2 each way..
I love this storage solution man.. Keep building smart solutions bro. I will keep using them.. Sorry but I'm new to the workshop ideas so I will pick others brains all I can. Thanks man.
One if the most ingenious ideas I have seen on youtube for a long while. There is just one thing I might have done differently and that is to set the hinge point further out from the wall so that the shelves don't drop down against the wall. If this was done you could still put shelves up on the wall and your roof shelves could still drop down in front of them. However, I am still very impressed with what you have done, what an awesome solution for a small workshop.
This would be really cool in a basement or other space with a drop ceiling. Build it so that when folded up it fits within the ceiling cavity flush with the ceiling tiles. It would almost be hidden, or at least not be something that hangs down and interrupts the ceiling plane.
That's a great idea. I may have to steel that one
Also adaptable to go between rafters on ceiling to store above room as mini attic space...or folding stair to attic
Amazing storage solution! A shoe cabinet with this idea would be amazing
Hi Jean. New subscriber here, and a fellow South African (From Cape Town) Great video and I'm glad to have found another woodworking RUclipsr (Not that I'm a RUclipsr...I'd rather watch what you make). Very awesome Idea and I think it's a great space saving unit. I definitely think it can be repurposed for bedrooms
I saw this idea employed in an episode of Tiny House Nation. To accommodate clothing storage in a sleeping loft, they built a thicker loft floor and storage units similar to the ones you build in this video. The units opened downward to the laundry area, so it was easy to stow clean folded clothes right out of the dryer. Hinged access doors in the floor of the loft provided access to clean clothes. When I saw the episode, I immediately recalled having watched this video. Well Done!
Fantastic idea and build 👊😎👍
I'd put a dry wipe board on the wall so I keep track of what was where, as I know I'd forget and have to keep dropping it down to check.
Great idea!
Just use a labeling system on the bottom or side of each bin then you can just look at it
@@EvergreenAcupuncture or a nice little modular label system on the wall behind it - little slide in cards for each shelf ... this is shop stuff, you HAVE to go over the top!
That was a very ingenious. I love it. Can't wait to see one on your gas shocks or counterbalancing.
Try a old bowling ball in a tube frame in opposing wall and 3/8cable ...a triple set of pulleys and instant reduced weight going up
I have to say I wasn't expecting this. The comment about sending this guy to NASA and we'd be on Mars in a few weeks is spot on. LMAO I didn't quite follow everything(might have been the drinks) but one hell of a build. Nice job!!!
I have been watching your video in the past several days. Your design of each component is really creative. I am learning so much. Thanks for explaining so well.
Excellent storage system. You should sell kits!!
i definitely think you should do a follow up video regarding the gas springs as well as a pulley system as well, the clothes idea is my first thought for using this, so anything to add on that would also be helpful
judging by the amount of views this video has compared to your others, i definitely think you hit the lottery with this idea and should expand more on it
This guys is so great and deserves more subs likes and shares plus when I saw his power tools they looked like the cheap ones you can get not saying if I know if he doesn’t have a lot of money or not just saying he deserves nice power tools and some nice power tool company to sponsor him good luck on a sponsorship man keep up the good work
I agree
Give it time. Some tool manufacturer will see these vids and he will have a sponsor before you know it. He has a great future, me thinks.
Great project! I can see a counter weight making it easier to lift when full...maybe a chord running through pulleys to the wall...
Out-freaking-standing. Brilliant solution. I have been struggling with th eneed for additional storage. Thank you.
Just amazingly clever! Incredibly well thought out, a very creative solution as opposed to the typical stationary shelf hung from the rafters. My first time watching one of your videos, but definitely not the last! Subscribed.
Best idea I have seen in a good while. Thanks for taking the time to explain as you go.
Wow! Such an awesome idea and execution. Love the channel man, keep up the great work!
Dang! Shop Nation giving praise?! Love the way great RUclips channels give each other praise when it's deserved. Both your channels rock!
I’ve watched hundreds of woodworking and woodworking design videos and this one is by far my absolute favorite! He has the most practical ideas. Keep up the great work and thank you!!
Brilliant. An idea I'll definitely make use of. Tx. Cape Town, South Africa.
I would love to see your idea for clothes storage when dealing with bedrooms
DANG! That was genius, beautiful and useful! Very nice work.
I just subbed, Clothes storage is a great idea, the uses of your design is endless. Could use in a tiny home !!! I'll enjoy seeing what you come up with. I love your work bench with the hidden tools, I'm passing your Channel to another Channel that is just building a workshop. Great channel!!!
Clever design and good execution! Thanks!
That is one of the best ideas for storage that I’ve seen in a small work shop.With a creative mind like yours I think your shop is going to look amazing thanks for sharing.
Your brother is right. I am trying to convince my kids to let me do this in their new rooms to give them more space.
Nice work. Keep it up.
it'd be a good way of making a fold-away bed for the kids' room
How are your kids supposed to get it down and up? Pulleys? Several times a day?
This is amazing. I needed to replace several shelves in my garage.
I wonder, those who disliked the video... What did they not like in it. I have seen a very useful idea that helps in preserving space.
They didn't like the fact they didn't come up with the idea.
@@RouteNRide Its only in the way when your getting a tool you need it folds back up.
in a garage that size space is such an issue that just that much storage give you a place to stand.
I have times more space or more like 10 times more and its not enough space. I'll bet that will hold 350 lbs of stuff and not fall. But yes he needs a way to balance the load putting it up or taking it down. However it will help build arm strength. That way you can pick up your beer at the end of the day and the tool's are shut off.
Being short makes this unworkable...Maybe they are short people.
Wow...just amazing craftsmanship. I have watched a few of your videos now and they keep getting better.
You are like a master carpenter. Each video I learned a new technique to improve my own skills when building something as a personal project around the house.
Thanks for your great content, can't wait to see more of your videos
😃👍👍
really nice work, craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail.
Very nice build and a fantastic idea!I won't be able to replicate it as beutiful since I'm not skilled nearly enough but I will definatly try to make a similiar but much cruder version. =)Now all I need is a garage..
I just love the way you say “the roooof”. 0:15. Great video. 👍🏻
Ingenious! And kudos for all the work you put into this and for sharing!
Genius engineering.
That turned out really well. Great project.
Best dang closet idea I've ever seen.
My closet has a sloped ceiling for a back wall ... this will be a great way to use that space ( I think)
This was clever as all hell. And looked pretty great when all done. Great job man.
This is an incredibly detailed, thought out, and useful project. You deserve 4x the subs you have!
Sorry mate ,,One you have to be 7 foot tall ,, Two you have got to have muscles like Mr Universe
@@MICK9754 I've built this in my basement since the video came out. I'm 5'7", drink a lot of beer and eat bbq 4 days of the week...
That's some next level thinking, right there. Absolutely brilliant.
My shop is in the basement this will work in the rafters with a little bit of adjustments. Thanks for putting this information together and posting.
South African making awesome videos = Subscribed
Only just found out about this channel and I'm hooked. Readily picked up the accent as South African.
At least now I can actually find some of the recommended products.
This is the first time I watched one of your videos and early on I thought what a nice big work table you had in a small shop but a huge waste of floor space, but then you popped up the miter saw and it blew me away as did your your scissors leveling gizmo that you used in conjunction with your drill press.
watch the build series on the work table. Other than the apparent love for MDF on the top etc, I love it ( I just hate......um... very much strongly dislike... MDF)
I too was blown away by the work table
Great work and what a brilliant design! I look forward to seeing how you created your workbench
I love watching some one that takes pride in their work and does such a clean finish job.
Thank you I would like to see you do a diy tables and such for saw and all the machines you use.
Yes, please listen to your brother on that modified option. I'm in desperate need of help. I'm very handy but I'd like it to look as polished as yours is. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep it up!
Pro:
Good concept and great way to maximize the available space!
Side benefit is to hide away all the hand tools out of sight, clearing valuable space for other things.
Very creative.
Con:
A bit of a bother if someone needs some of those same tools on a regular basis;
Not very convenient and can be easily too heavy once filled up...
Potential for it to come crashing down on someone's head regardless... best to attach some sort of pneumatic spring -- what a mess that would make as it bangs into the wall not to mention the skull crushing blow on the way down.
Your bench work area is 'sick', impressive !
Love how you've created something to hide sizable tools as well as provide a very large work area, albeit rather permanent as it is too big to move.
I'm digging your setup so far dude, you've got a lot of nice ideas there.
That was cool . Very clear presentation in English & brief demonstration. Keep up ur good work bro.
Way beyond DIY - your attention to detail and accuracy are commendable. Subscribing was a no-brainer!
Genius idea for small space👍
