Ever since we moved into this house 5 years ago the closet off of the dinning area was a coat closet and the closet near the back door was a pantry. We always thought this was kind of strange but just lived with it all of these years. Well, the SSLFamilyMom and I are having our 5 year anniversary this week and thought this is what we should do for each other.
After the closet was emptied I started making some measurements. Each shelf support is 16" from the top of each support. You can use whatever distance you want between the shelves but I just stuck with what the old pantry was. I used a level and pencil to mark out where all of the supports would be positioned.
I ripped a bunch of 3/4" pine into 1.5" strips and then cut all the strips to length to fit the pantry. One along the back and one on each side of the pantry for each shelf.
Next, I needed to find the stud locations where I would secure each support to the wall. You absolutely need to use studs here, no drywall anchors will be strong enough. Since this wall seems to be crazy and my stud finder was all kinds of no working right I had to go back to the old school method.
To find studs without a stud finder gently knock along the wall until you hear the pitch change. You can then use a nail to tap through the drywall (behind where the support will be) to ensure there is actually a stud. Mark that location and move on to the next. Each support should be secured in at least two places but three is best.
I am using particle board for this project for two reasons; number one, it is cheap and number two, it is strong in this application. It does not bow or flex quite like plywood does and paint covers it very nicely. MDF would also work as well. I chose 3/4" particle board and cut each shelf to length to fit into my space (they can also do this for you at the big box store).
Next I predrilled all the holes for the supports with a countersink bit and used an impact driver with 2" screws to secure each support to the wall. The shelves were then set into place and a brad nailer was used to lightly secure each shelf to the supports.
I had some interior white paint leftover from when we painted the kitchen so I used that to paint the walls, shelves, and supports all the same color. Two coats will ensure that it doesn't scratch or nic off when you are dragging cans and other things in and out.
All in all this project only cost my about $20 for the particle board. I used scraps of wood for the supports and I had the paint. Even if you had to buy those you are still looking at under $50 for a nice new pantry with sturdy shelves that the kids can climb up and not get hurt(this seems to happen when we are not looking).

There are so many complex videos with high end stuff not meant for avg joe. This is exactly what I was looking for. Awesome simple work. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad there are dads on the internet that help people like me
It's nice when someone appreciates something you do.
I ❤️ the tribute to your wife. What a beautiful way to end the video/tutorial!
I’ll be tackling my linen closet & pantry over the weekend. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love how a little change like that she appreciates it! She’s so lovely 😊
Of all the “DIY” closet shelf videos this is the most realistic. Most everybody has these simple tools.
😂
Watched so many videos - but you are the one who explained it everything I needed to know, including the tools needed and paint stuff.
Thank you so much! My husband did all these jobs for me but since he passed its up to me. I have the same closet and was looking to do the same thing. This was really easy to understand and hopefully I'll have a new pantry by the end of the weekend!
Thanks for this video - my house had almost the exact same setup so I followed your video almost to the tee (apart from painting before I slid shelves in). The new pantry looks great and my husband is amazed that I replicated your pantry almost exactly!
Flowers! What a classy final touch.
I moved into my home 2 years ago and have been thinking about how to even approach my shelfless pantry. This is now gonna be my quarentine project
So did you ever tackle this project?
That's a great Bible verse! I am sure your wife appreciated the finished product. Great job!
Very nice. Good simple explanations. Very helpful. Best surprise for me was at the end with Proverbs!
This ending was beautiful! The sweet presentation to your wife plus the scripture. I subscribed after that. Thank you for the video! I needed to know how to built this type of shelf in my laundry room. Have a nice day!
Thank you for going the extra mile and putting some fresh flowers for her to enjoy. 🌸
I always spackle (fill) and sand the front edges of shelves if using particle board. It just gives a more even edge is all. Easier to paint as well. But I was a painter, not a builder. You guys rock.
Good tip, thanks!
Thanks for breaking it down really simply for people who don't know much about this stuff (AKA me)! I appreciate the video!
Painting before install always makes it easier for me. Great work!
I love how she appreciated your hard work! She’s awesome!
In his heart her husband trust her....great job. I’m going to do this but leave enough room to attach some small shelves on the back of the door as well.
I am definitely buying an impact driver, I have arthritis and I noticed lately using a drill is beginning to become more difficult. I’m hoping this will solve or at least minimize the pain. Awesome video, thank you for sharing.
Perfect...exactly what I was looking for. Liked the details about the screws, etc. Thanks!
Good job 👍
I really like the 3/4” particle board shelves.
Thank you
You're awesome. Nice explanation about screws and nails. It's a mind opener.
Thank you fofr this video. I wanted to ask my husband to build this in my office closet but could not figure out how to describe what I wanted. a picture...errr..video is worth a thousand words.
Very professional job. I need to make some shelvings and hope i can be able to do the job as close as possible 😀
This confirmed my shade tree engineering skills. I have kind of walk in closets with almost room to put 1x4 shelves on the sides between where the molding starts and closet ends. The goal is to make 1x4 little shelves for watches, small items and get things organized and out of the way.
Using a small miter saw, I'll cut a 45 degree angle but not completely on the end, just enough to fit the molding inside. Then cut the length to the depth of the closet. Once I have that and assuming that it will fit the closet in all shelves and the second closet I want to do this to, I have my template. Going 18" from the floor, then 12", etc until I get about 5' up. Using the one cut board as a template, I'll cut all the shelves I want from 1x4s. To the front I'll tack nail on fancy looking screen wire trim just enough to give these shelves a lip so things don't fall off. Supports only need to be on the end. I just need one the width of where the molding is and a second inside the closet to catch the stud. Those are the templates for all other supports. Since it's only small items, no need for a support the length of the shelf.
It's not much trouble to take a random orbital sander and smooth these down, apply a stain and then spray them with a clear coat. I now have my shelves that simply need to have drill holes in the supports to the wall and can tack on the actual shelves and trim with a brad nailer air gun.
Watches, bottles of aftershave, jewelry, wallet, things you just need a space for out of the way. The house is like 60 years old and this should last another 50.
The most difficult part of this or any job is simply starting it.
Your wife’s reaction makes it worth the effort, thanks for the tip, installing similar shelving for my wife right now in our laundry and needed a little reassurance, your video was the ticket.
cool man,I just put some up in our laundry room,didnt use partical wood because my wife wanted wood she could stain but pretty much did the process the same way you did,I enjoy watching these vids and get ideas,thanks bro
I love that scripture at the end! My first time watching you and I'm subscribing!
This has to be one if the most padded out tutorial videos I've ever seen
Love that you shop USA. God bless you.
FYI. Impact drivers use a rotary impulse to keep the screw moving effortlessly. Hammer drills use a linear.force behind the bit to break up the surface enough to allow penetration.
Thanks for the tips! I have an ironing board closet I get zero use out of and plan to turning it into storage for some cleaning products.
She’s a keeper, for sure. Well done, Mate 👍🏻
Love the video. I 100% agree with not liking the detail part and the star screws.
Perfect. Exactly the project I needed to see. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, also tidbits on why impact drill is different than using regular! Looks great and very simple! Very helpful
A bit late to the party but I’m a HUGE fan of the Dewalt 20V XR series, they’re the brushless powered tools. But every home owner with some tool experience should own drill and impact driver.
First thanks for the excellent instructions on the shelves! We had wire racks and they just weren’t practical anymore. This was great. Also I picked up the same DeWalt drill and impact driver combo. Man what a difference that impact driver makes!
that's awesome, man. her reaction, made all that painting absolutely worth it i bet. in doing small projects around my house, I've found that as much as i love the raw wood build look, it's makes a world of a difference to nonbuilders when you add thesmall finishing touches to theproject.
good stuff
I wish my missus had that reaction when I do DIY! she usually finds the tiniest detail to complain about! :D
Why???? She should be happy her man did anything for her.
@@nikkilyne36 I know right?!? That ungrateful B***ch!!
That's true for a majority of women..they don't want your head to get to big they are all about controlling you like a puppy.
Sounds like something you could talk to her about? If you can't talk to your spouse about something that simple, then maybe counseling would be a good route.
@@iamco698 why do you feel the need to curse at someone you don't even know?
Thanks for making it to easy. Is great to have the other half with great complements. We moved to a house that needed some repairs and my wife and I were ready and looking forward to start room by room. We took trips to home depot and bought what we taught we needed. Unfortunately after a month in the house i felt down and broke my leg and that put a hold on everything. We are both in the 70’s.
Just found your video. Awesome job. Her expression of happiness! Priceless. The flowers on top , you got lots of good hubby points.
Her reaction was everything! Great job!
I need to build a shelf.. nice touch with the flowers.. I will see if the Mrs reacts the same..
screws are the way to go. We've just finished a temporary deck for our RV and used screws plus double head nails (which are easy to remove). We plan to use the materials for our chicken coop when our house is finished. Thanks for posting
absolutely, I have change my mind on so many projects or decided to change them that I just can't go with nails anymore. I spend enough time pulling nails for pallet projects anyway:)
Loved the reaction and closing verse at the end 🤍
I wish my wife was so appreciative. Thanks for the flowers idea! Need to try it :)
Perhaps, you should start filming her reactions.
Thank you for your suggestion on the starbit screws. I definitely prefer screws over nails for everything. I hate philipshead screws because they are too easy to strip out. I am about to redo my 2 small pantries in my house. Previous owners had 3 wire shelves and I'm tired of not having the room to organize everything. So I found some pretty gray mdf shelving and I'll be adding 2 more shelves. Love how your pantry turned out. Glad your wife loved it. Love the ending.
Love the whole thing. Especially Lisa's reaction and the verse that you ended with.
Thanks for the great how-to video. I'm about to build out a pantry so this was very helpful to watch you do it.
Primer before and after putty. Nice shelf
"Screws are better because they can be unscrewed to dissasembly". Then proceeds to cover the screws heads with putty. 😅
Thanks anyway for the rest of the info.
I want to put a (supported) bench shelf in my front closet. Thanks for the how-to! (Repurposing the wood from a bed frame to do it)
We have two small coat closets when you first come into our home. I am turning on into a storage closet for my craft and preschool teaching supplies. The tips you showed in this video will work perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
I would’ve definitely painted those shelves before installing them haha
Anybody else wish they had a handy man like him👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✅ 5:38
Thanks for sharing with us.
Deck screws are great, they're self tapping too.
Your definitely right about satisfaction coming from the impact gun!! Thanks for sharing this!!
Great video. What type of wood did you use for the frame parts ? Thank you
Just saw your video, thanks. I'm going to do something similar and convert coat closet into office space. It will be super tiny but a least I will have a designated space to work.
Awesome, thank you for sharing, I'm looking to build shelves in a small playroom closet so exactly what I was looking for.
A family member while hanging shelves nailed into the wiring and overnight the entire back of the house went up in flames. They escaped through a window with the help of the fire department. We all learned to hire out even simple jobs. Lesson learned! 🔥
Great job hubby make wife happy
The Torx deck screws are awesome. I use the same ones. I believe tbey are callwd Torx or stars if you want
I am a Dewalt girl! Love my tools! Thanks for the great video, was just getting ready to do closet shelves like these.
fantastic work, congratulations!👏👏👏
I especially love the end....nice touch.
Thanks! Love the Bible verse at the end!
I like just the way he did it. Paint after built. Or let the wife paint ours. Now there is an idea. Hahaha.
Nothing like over screwing the furring strip. I would have put a strip along the front of each shelf for reinforcement, once you get those shelves loaded up with canned good etc those shelves will bow eventually. You can even notch out the strip so it covers the end grain of the shelf for a nice clean look. You hit the jackpot in the wife department :)
Psh, I "over-engineer" mine, too. If you have a large enough cleat, the right size screw, and space them properly then you are getting 2x shear strength. Sign me up for that.
Nice job! Great video. Your Wife's reaction...gold.
Suggestion for the finishing of the shelves is instead of painting them wrap them top and bottom in the front edge and inexpensive contact paper. You don't have to paint. And it's easy to wipe off much easier because it's vinyl. Also the raw edge of particle board can be finished off with a rounded molding. very inexpensive.
However, again your wife's reaction was gold. 😁
Nice job! The only thing I would do differently is use a foam roller for most of the painting, except the nooks & crannies where you need a brush.
i love the project and scripture at the end
cool. but of course I have comments. paint before shelves are installed and maybe a cross member to support shelves more? I'm doing this kinda thing in an alcove in my garage
Tip for you: I always paint before I put up boards. That way all you have to do is touch up. Faster and less messy.
+maryshome8 I do that somet8mes as well if I can find a place to put the boards up so I can paint them. In many cases though the best place to hold them while you paint is in their final place:)
Awwwe! How sweet!!!!
@@SSLFamilyDad I agree. Less paint - and paint won't stick to anything else that it shouldnt
maryshome8 I have to make some and I was thinking about painting first too but then I have to fill and repaint again to cover the nails holes 🤷🏻♂️
How sweet! I would absolutely love a pantry for my anniversary. It looks great!
Benefits to both nails and screws, but typically nails are stronger. Good video!
I'm turning our coat closet into a pantry as well. I think it will add some good value to the home
Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: WoodSun. xyz
I have a closet in my bedroom that I converted into a bookshelf using the exact same method. With the weight I would recommend putting in a support piece either under the center of the shelf or in front. I first set up the shelves like you did and then added the books and after about a month I had a bow in the middle where the shelves started sagging.
liked your live with video and I use all the same screws and I love my dewalt impact driver ,couldn't do any of my projects without it and star or Torque screws as i call them are all I purchase now,thanks for the video
You know the crazy thing about that drill and impact driver, the drill will actually drive that screw faster than that impact driver. I prefer the impact for sure. But the fact is drill is faster. But you better hold on if your drill has some torque and I’m sure you know will break that damn wrist!
Good simple video. Clean and well made.
Great job! Great simple instruction. You’re a good teacher. Thank you!
Thanks for the hints. Did you consider painting the shelves and brackets and walls before screwing them in? Then you'd only have to touch up and maybe paint the raw edges. I'm a newbie so feel free to explain why not.
Caulk the entire unit in place when installed then paint. Gives a more finished built in look
I'd do at least all the priming and one coat of paint before installing. Then caulk and finish.
Thank you so much! This looks super easy and I’m handy. This man wanted to charge me $1500 to do exactly this in a closet.
I have the coat room exactly like that. Thank you for this video!
I too agree paint before you put things together. Best part of video was the flowers and card. Your wife’s reaction was beautiful. She lifts you with her appreciation of your hard work. Blessings to you both. Oh, great job on the pantry.
A kitchen pantry is very practical addition.. I really enjoyed this project. Now I just need to find room in my kitchen to do the same. SSL Family Mom must be very happy with her new pantry. Looks great. By the way I had 4 ft wide particle board shelves in the pantry of my old house and they held up well over the years. They did sag a tiny bit after about 10 years but I just flipped them over.
Good info on those shelves. I went back and forth with a 3/4 ply vs MDF or particle board so hopefully I made the right choice. If they start to sag, flip them over, lol, I like it!
Somebody got some lovin' that night !!! 😁😂😁😂
I'm doing the same thing this weekend for the wife already started
What a nice hubby!!!
I also use the star screws for ever project except paneling
Nice job with the shelving. Painting can be a hassle but the paint will go on easier if you don’t cover the entire brush with paint. Only about a third of the bristles need to hold paint. It will go on smoother, make the brush last longer and be easier to clean. At least that’s my experience. I’d much rather build than paint too.
I would change the door into a shutter door. It just always speaks "pantry" to me. Although it's a good idea to have coat closets that way too so they dry out.
Nice! I’m about to do the same. Keep it up!
Love the star screws, too! Nice job on the pantry!! Sweet ending! If you are building more shelves, you might also consider melamine-covered particle board. It's not too expensive and wears well, plus, no painting! You can just iron on a melamine tape on the edge. I have one set of melamine shelves in my shop and they really hold up well to abuse. Just finished a particleboard countertop with formica. It's good for that because it stays flat.
Love the U shape self supporting system. Very smart 3:32
