Really nice and simple project. I would just add that, if you’re going to load it up with heavy stuff, it’s a good idea to use an ‘L’ bracket or two to fix the unit to the wall. Especially if there are kids in the home.
@@rickcolumbo3148 healthy attitude, Rick. I'd have an eye in the back to make sure Legal doesn't catch up with it, but don't get me wrong: this is how I raised my children just as well.
_ David _ so you didn’t hear about the Ikea wardrobes and massive chests of drawers TIPPING OVER and killing children then. Stability and leverage have nothing to do with the strength of someone.
@@DaddyBear3000 Her shelf has no drawers and isn't particularly tippy. Your child is more likely to die in the car with you than at the hands of remorseless killing furniture.
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I built ten of these shelf unit to use inside my storage unit. I added heavy duty metal castors to the bottom, making the bottom shelf flush instead of raised, and they work great. Some of them are probably loaded with 1000 pounds of material. I glued and screwed all the joints and pre-drilling is a must to prevent splitting the wood at the ends of boards. I have been using them since shortly after you put out this video, because I made them right away, and I am very happy with them. Thanks for sharing the video and plans.
Thank you so much! I feel like this is the one tutorial on RUclips I found that someone with no experience (me) could do! Saving this in my watch later for when I’ve got materials!
Love this shelf idea! I used it this weekend to make a small “catio” for my cats. I made two of the shelves partial shelves so the cats can go to different levels and screened the whole thing in. My cats are going to love it and it was so easy with this basic shelving unit build. Thanks for the idea!
Simple and yet detailed. Great job on the build. Something else that you could do if you wanted would be to add a piece of peg board to the end to organize things like bike helmets
So glad I found this video! I recently moved into a new apartment and needed more storage. I had a corner space that I could put a shelf, and so I did using this build plan as the template and retrofitted it to my place. Very simple plan that anyone can do. Thank you!!
Thanks for posting! To keep the units ”free standing” and able to be moved for cleaning, rearranging, etc. I would add opposing diagonal braces on each of the ends. This will make the entire unit more rigid and eliminate the need to fasten to the wall. Keeping the totes full of heavy stuff on bottom shelf is self explanatory! Thanks for posting!
I love seeing female representation in construction! It makes me raise my own expectations for myself. Even though my mom (and dad too) taught me basic woodworking and power tool handling, it still helps to see women doing it.
Built a version of this today, using what I had on hand. I used MDF instead of plywood for the shelves, seems to work well. Thanks for the great video!
wow. all i can say is wow. what an amazing concise video with a great presenter/tutor/DIY person or whatever the term is lol thank you for the video. this, coming from a materials and mechanical engineer. we have a tendency to be too complex and yet a person on youtube can make this be so simple and alluring. im starting to understand why content, especially this type of content has to be done the way it is done here. because not only is the presenter/youtuber aesthetically and vocally "pleasant", but she makes it so concise, direct, confidentally, and "normie" (normal ppl can do it too, etc). there is a quote by leonardo davinci that comes to mind: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”
Something I've done with some tall bookcases and even tables in my house is to attach wheels to the bottoms. Makes it so easy to move things. Looks like (maybe) if you could attach a small piece of a 2 x 4 to the bottom of the legs, it would make it wide enough to attach wheels to these shelving units, too. Then, if you ever want to "hose out" your garage, you could just move the shelves out of the way so that the bottom of the legs don't get wet. Same if you decide to rearrange the shelving in your garage. Just a thought....
A quick and easy way to get your shelves square and to help keep them that way. I cut 4x4s the length of the 2x4s height. Then i cut it again from one corner to the opposite corner. This lil V can then be placed in your corners for rigidity and to keep it square. Good luck and great video
An addition that can take out any screw failure down the line is to add a compression leg in between each shelf, parallel to each leg. Nice project for the cluttered shop
Someone beat me to this suggestion. Good one. Put spacers on the inside of each leg between the shelf frames so the load is carried directly down through the legs and isn't relying on the screws and glue's shear capacity.
Thanks for this! I followed your method and built a beautiful unit! Mine has one difference: I put the legs on the sides to maximise on front space. Also, I had the ply board cut at the hardware store.
Simple and brilliant. I agree with Karl Harris' comment about bracketing to a wall for heavy stuff. If you have really heavy stuff you can also use corner blocks underneath where the shelves attach to the upright legs. Now I want to go build one!
I want to built a garden shed for outside. I could build this shelf, put some plywood on the back and sides... put a plywood door on the front. Some primer and paint... viola... garen shed! I've wanted to do this for a while but wasnt sure how i wanted to do it... this shelf built will be perfect.. so thank you!
Nice video, thanks. Several people commented on this, but a design improvement would be to drill perpendicular sets of screws at each corner for stability, especially for variations involving smaller pieces of wood. 2 long pieces of wood fastened along one axis only results in a (mobile) fulcrum. This blueprint works by adding a pair of screws in parallel. However a more universally stable design would involve securing each corner with perpendicular screws, resulting in a plane, which is far more stable and better suited for corners
Great Video step by step. Also thank you for the cut list with pictures, exactly what i needed to add some shelving to my storage container for tools and stuff. Thanks again!
I built a shelving unit similar to this one 7 or 8 years ago for plastic totes filled with electronics and even heavier bits like small motors. Still holding strong after all these years! Only difference is I also put a vertical strip of 2x4 between the shelves for some extra support, and I used OSB instead of plywood (half the price of plywood, but still strong). Since then, I've been building lots more for workbenches. It's amazing how strong and durable these things can be.
Very nicely done another good tip for fast assembly on sturdy shelving for similar styled units are utilizing Pocket holes and Screws i personally think the best Pocket Hole jig is the Aluminum one Harbor Freight sells which i think is labeled Drill Master I do often buy and use Kremes screws and Storage cases i buy from Ebay because i like their Storage cases in all honesty any Pocket Hole Scews work fine IMO Ive also built many shelf units for myself and family members over the years Without any failures although i do prefer to spray a few coats of Primer and a couple of finish coats of paint on them Using my HVLP system
actually, pine looks very cool stained with or without a clear top-coat of shellac or lacquer or tung oil or polyurethane. been refinishing furniture for customers for the last 43 years full time
Nicely done! I like the details like glue and predrilling holes. Watch how many men tell you neither are necessary! In fact, they very much are. Self tapping screws are great for metal but ALWAYS SPLIT THE WOOD! Predrill holes folks!
Thank you. This seems very straightforward. I bought a Dewalt prebuilt shelf on sale for $150. Maybe I should have done more research to find this video before my purchase. 😂
I'm planning on building something just like this, but adding pegboard to the back of it for additional tool storage. The shelves will be sitting between my 2 car, and 3rd garage.
I have built shelves like this in my garage. They get wobbly over time. I suggest adding a plywood back to keep that from happening. I am going to be disassembling mine and adding shelving to the entire wall of my garage. Going to have gas can storage, slots for tool boxes, car cleaning and maintenance products, all going to be based on this style though.
So I built three of these bad boys and they turned out ok. One thing though I noticed is that on the middle shelf attachment phase, for some reason they are slightly sloped when completed. I'm not sure if that's due to the manner of drilling from the inside or the actual cuts of plywood from the big box store, but it was off by just a slight angle.
Even easier- if you live in the UK most timber merchants and Big BIY stores will cut sheet material to size, usually four cuts per sheet are free but even if not it's only 50p per cut. Have them cut the ply into four- their machines are incredibly accurate and guarantee a perfect square cut, it's safer than doing it yourself on the floor, and the pieces will fit in your car boot which a full sheet usually won't.
This is amazing! I love doing DIY, but I don’t own a saw and I’m kind of scared of using the saw so I have to see if I can get them to pre-cut all of the wood
just want 2 say thank u 4 ur helpful hints,all my cuts wasnt straight,but it all came together ,my 1st time building a shelf like this,next one will b better an EZ er,lol,
What a great yet simple project. You can also add cleats to the sides of two shelving units to make a work bench between them. Just make the "shelf/work top" the same way you did the shelves. Great project.
Like it. Some alternative options in the build are. Place the legs on the ends instead of front and back. You will gain 7” of front loading space. This will also allow you to place the shelf up against the wall instead of being 1-1/2” away due to back legs. I don’t recommend the legs on ends if your shelving unit is under 24” depth as it will compromise stability somewhat. Also pre drill with a combination bit and countersink it makes it a bit easier to draw the wood together and easier to drive the screw heads flush to wood The glue is a great idea also.
Most garage floors slope from bact to front to allow water run off do drain out of your garage. If they do you might have to adjust the (down slope) legs accordingly.
Nice video. I am about to move into my first home in 2 weeks. Wifey is looking for shelving for the basement. We found one, but I'm like screw that. I'd rather build one myself. I'm not handy at all. But that's going to change 👍🏽
Strength wise would it be ok to have the 2x4 legs rotated 90 degree (so the 4” side faces left or right instead of front) to accommodate more room on the shelf?
We use an eight foot wide version of this for storage at the makerspace. Even without glue, they hold over 300 lbs (me) on the middle shelves. Also, we found that if you assemble them like she shows here, the weight of the items on the shelves will pull the frames back into square if your wood has bent from being wet. This makes the choice of wood less critical.
Thanks so much for the Idea pretty woman... I WILL MAKE THIS AS WELL. Great for my scrapbooking / sewing room. May you have a wonderful 2021 Thanksgiving day.
@@PneumaticAddict Okay, I decided on something pretty cool.

what about in location where floor is not level? If I cut to compensate for this, then the shelf is not reusable. So shims?
This turned out great! Does anyone have the measurements??? I love to make this Saturday. 🤗
Great ! Nice voice clear, straight up to the point!
Congratulations 👏
What size of wood screw do you recommend? Is #10 too thin?
What is the max weight limit for these shelves?
Spax wood screws will eliminate the need to predrill holes. They work great and no wood splitting.
do you have a cube storage unit like the storage unit you built? I am novice with little tools and skill.
Strength wise would it be ok to have the 2x4 legs rotated 90 degree (so the 4” side faces left or right instead of front) to accommodate more room on the shelf?
Really cool video + really cool hair. 👍
Hi- what gauge wood screws did you use?
Should this get any finish? Won’t it get wet and deform?
