Hey gang. We've had lots of comments on the dangers of hanging shelves like this from roof trusses, undersized ceiling joists, TJI's, etc. On this project, there is a full second story above the garage and we hung the shelves from 2x12 ceiling joists. Be sure to consult with a structural engineer anytime you are adding additional loads to the framing in your house. Thx!!
I appreciate this comment. I've been considering a very similar system to utilize the dead space above my garage door. I have a truss system that are 24" on center. They run parallel to the garage door, meaning the same 2 trusses would bear the weight of the structure length. For further detail, I would build 2 separate frames to run 1 on each side of the garage door opener bar. But again this still would utilize the same 2 trusses, although it would be split by the king post in the middle. Just typing out loud here, any thoughts?
@@gottabdcheese another thing, imo, to keep in mind are those "nailing" plates if your truss is of that kind. Not sure how endbutted 2x material would distribute weight to the walls to be sent to the ground. I think all attached garages should be designed to have a full floor above the ceiling. Why ???? Because at almost any time in a houses history someone is going to want to store sh!t up there. Hell ... if I was in a house with an unfinished garage I'd want to put some sort of floor up there so my lil boy could play up there. Instead of inbetween my feet like a cat causing me to trip and fall....
@@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 Yeah, I have those nailing plates. And to validate your point, my attached garage is drywall finished, but I still cut a hole up there and slayed a few sheets of plywood to store some rarely used things! Would have been great if the builder incorporated this. These shelves would be to provide easier access to totes and bins that are more actively used.
As a dad, I gotta speak up about how kind, respectful, enthusiastic, and caring you two are with each other. Your on screen chemistry is authentic and charming!
I had to stop reading the comments because I couldn't stop crying. I am a daddy's girl. All of my siblings have been blessed with my dad’s artistic and mechanical inclinations. My dad took pride in spending quality time with each of us by word and deed in many disciplines. I am invariably awestruck by your presence, your demeanor, your generosity, your wisdom, your humility, your honesty, your commitment to excellence and your integrity. I could go on and on. You remind me so much of my Dad. Excellence is your very nature and it permeates your every utterance and reflex. It is an ode to a day time and peoples who strove lived by virtues and not appearances. It is as my dad lovingly reminded us integrity is not something that can be bought; you have to earn it. Thank you for your contribution to carry on that legacy. I know that you, like my dad, are priceless to your family for your hard work and sacrifice amist these trying times. Much Love and Admiration from this Daddy’s girl in Monroe, GA.
I fell in love with this video two years ago, and like everyone else I love the father son relationship. That you give each other is contagious. It encourages me to build with husband, son and daughter. Praying God’s continued and rich blessings on your family.
One thing I have learned about building shelves. Use GOOD material b/C in twenty - years the shelves will not warp or break. And I love the father and son camaraderie. Keep it going, fellows !!!
I’m a big fan of family based content/father son duo’s. Nice job. I recommend pole barn garage. That guys son deserves RUclips’s coolest kid award 🥇 IMO
Great Dad ! Great son. All American families should be like this to keep their kids out of trouble and also can teach their kids some of the life skills.
I love son and dad working together. You guys made a heck of storage, simple but elegant . Well done team. You got yourself a new subscriber. I longing to see the 4x8 table project.
You remind me so much of my father in law. He is super handy as a retired contractor and custom cabinet maker but is also really good at explaining things in a way that a beginner could do it but doesn’t talk to you like you’re an idiot. Like him, you are very thorough in your explanations but don’t ramble on and on like some You Tubers do. Informative but straight to the point.
Awesome channel!! This is exactly what America and the rest of the world need right now. A Father teaching and working alongside his son all while the son listens and shows respect toward his father. God bless you and yours
Finally someone who actually has stuff in their garage. I see so many homes that have these oddly bare garages and I’m seriously wondering where people keep all their tools, camping gear, decorations, etc.
Crazy hearing 12k subs, 1 yr old video, and currently at 360k+. Major growth! And you guys deserve it, best channel in this category hands down. One of if not my fav channel on YT. Thanks boys, and keep it rolling. Can't wait to see how the stud pack house turns out!
Why would someone NOT like this video It's beyond understanding. You may not agree with something they did, but over all, people learn from videos like this. Thanks, guys!
I love this series and the father-son relationship. I'm 51 and my father abandoned his family, so I hope you know how lucky you are young man. I'm just glad I can come to your page and learn things my father never stuck around to teach me. So thank you!
i don't even plan on making shelves any time soon, but i just wanted to see something relaxing like other people working, after a long, unsatisfying day). Also nice seeing other people also have a mess in their house and this gives hope that anything can be organized with enough will. good job guys)
I always thought you just had a really good worker helping you out. But now after realizing it's your son this makes it so awesome!!! I worked with my dad for many years in his construction company and he taught me everything I know. He's much older now but everytime I work on any project on my own I think about him and think to myself, what would he do? Love it and great job on the shelves
I agree with Ollie’s comment. As a dad of four children, what a blessing and a memory the two of you working together must be. Enjoy your time together. And thank you for the great content and step by step description how too. Be blessed.
I was thinking if my dad over holidays and this came up on my thread.... man my dad was a carpenter build anything and you remind me so much of him... new to this channel thanks man
This was the first SP video I saw way back and even did this on one shelf in my garage (more to come over garage door)! Love seeing the growth on this channel, Paul’s transformation on screen, & now Rad to boot! The Garage-Mahal is awesome!
Great seeing Father/Son working so well together. Does my heart good to do projects with my son. America needs a lot more of this and we wouldn't be in the shape we are now. Nicely done video with no foul language and showing how to do a job the right way. 10 stars!
You guys are the best! I wish I had videos of my son and me from years ago. This is what being a Dad is all about. And the son has got to be what the makings of a young man is modeled after! Thank you both for putting out the videos that show how a Father and Son can be, without disrespect. 👍🏼
I have never seen father and son work together like you guys. I really enjoy seeing dad and son working together as a team. You have created a huge archive, simple but very elegant looking. Well done team.
Your projects and expertise are just awesome! I always learn so much. As a DIYer, I appreciate how you always introduce extremely helpful, little-known-of hardware and tools. Oh, and the charisma, too! Love watching your videos. Thank you!
I appreciate this video. I just installed my first threaded rod garage shelf basically using this method (minus painting). It’s so strong, and it looks great except for the very first threaded rod which I eyeballed instead of using a level or laser to ensure plumb. 😅
Great tip with the magnets! I like Franklin Pro Stud finders. They're great for illuminating the whole stud with a row of LED's, so center's are real easy to find, and also very affordable. I keep a couple at home and several in my jobsite arsenal.
I think that dad has leaked his name a couple times accidentally, but I don't remember it so the secret is safe .... for now. I have made garage shelves like this with one difference, I drilled 3/8"+ holes through the thick side of the 2x4, then pushed the all thread thru, and then bolted the nuts with fender washers directly to the 2x's. Nice job guys !!
I have used unistrut to suspend thread rod shelf supports for years. Never knew those super screw threaded rod lag screws ever existed. Thanks. I'm only 72 and have been doing my own projects for years and have been doing handyman work for others for over a dozen years. Never too old to learn.
@@StudPack may i say that you’re both quite blesst having each other. just two illustrations of what real men are made of. 30yrs, 4 kids, a real mom, a real dad. kinda sounds like a real family. clearly, luck had not a thing in the world to do with a cool dad and a cool son. im thinkin who how and what you are just runs in the family. and, your content is so good im not sure how you cld really improve it. your honesty respect integrity transparency, are fairly w/o rival. likewise the quality of your videos. i cannot get enough of your videos. thank you very much gents! very well and nicely done.
This is one of the first Stud Pack videos I watched. I was searching for shelving ideas for my own garage. While I didn’t use the hangers like this it sure did give me the ideas on how to proceed. I now have the usable parts of 3 walls covered in shelving. My walls are 10’6” high and I struggled to find a good solution. I now have 2 rows 2’ deep and I spaced them to fit totes and/or buckets. Next project may be pipe rails and a library ladder for access.
I just want to say, you tell us you were embarrassed at the state of the garage. You have one that mirrors many! So the first point is - don't worry about the mess lol. But mostly I wanted to say thanks for being humble enough to still include the project on the channel even though it was embarrassing a bit. I hope the number of views you got shows you it was needed! Keep it up.
My sister has a lot of holiday stuff too. So I'm sending her this video. She'll love the idea and have me replicate your work. My only question is if you plan to build in your garage, won't you either need a good vacuum system or maybe cover your shelves with a type of curtain to prevent everything from getting sawdust on.
You guys are great. I love watching you light up when you talk about all thread pieces. Made me smile a little inside. I will be doing this in my garage.
Nice work boys! My new place has a detached metal shop/garage, so doing something like this is a lot more difficult. I had similar setup at my last house, with suspended loft style shelving, just used 2x4 for the supports instead of threaded rod. That father-son relationship is awesome too!
Perfect timing…my wife just mentioned how she wants better shelving in the garage for all our stuff. I’ll buy the bins first and then determine the distance between the shelves based on the size of the storage bins. Thanks so much guys!
Thanks for this guys. Just found you and quickly subbed. I lost my dad too early back in 2015 (I was 26) and this brought back great memories of working with him on all sorts of garage projects. I look forward to doing the same with my son and daughter someday soon. Thanks and keep it up!
Oh and McMaster-Carr is far and away a favorite place for me to spend time. I am a design engineer and have created many a project using their extensive model catalog, haha. Great sales tool for them lol
Ya know I've watched a lot of garage organizations, and most are lies. Thank you for just posting what it actually is start and finish..well in progress
LOVE the channel name. That's fantastic. Incredible that you grew from 12k subscribers to well over 600k in just 3 years. That's bonkers! Great work gang. 😎 I was going to hang my corner shelf with a cable on the floating corner, but I like this solution MUCH better. 💪🏽
The energy between the two of you is very refreshing. Also not often that I see people who pay attention to detail and pride in their workmanship. Thank you for the opportunity to see that
Here's an additional tip. Built an extra shelf if you can as it makes a great platform for a makeshift scaffold by using two saw horses, you have a nice sturdy platform to stand on to reach things like painting the fascia and overhangs of your house. You can also place a regular 8' ladder on top of it for more reach. Just make sure your saw horses are wider than 2'
Good job. I've been making similar shelves for years. You can cut out some of the hardware and give them a more refined look by drilling through the 2x4 with a sloppy hole and covering it with a fender washer and using 1/2"ø or 3/4"ø PVC pipe or electricians conduit as spacers, cut to the right length to provide the desired spread and use just one nut to tighten everything together. Also, its a good idea to get a locking nut up against that atr transition lag screw (i forget their proper name. If you have a little mig welder, they're easy to make). You can recess the bolt holes to hide the connection too and to hide the ends of whatever pipe you use. One more thing i have learned over the years is that shelves are plenty strong when they're made of 1x2 skeleton frames on edge and skinned with MDF on both sides to hide the cleat that attaches them to the wall or just skin the top surface. I really can't think of anything that I'm going to lift that high that needs to be supported by a 2x4 on edge and 1/2" OSB. If you're good with your wire tying , you can get away with hanging them the same way but using some good tiewire running inside the pipe, twisted tight and maybe capped off with a big wire nut up inside a recessed hole. Just hammer a teko nail through the side of the bottom hole and be sure the wire goes on each side of the nail and chuck both ends up in your drill. Being sure both ends of wire are equal in length. Put drill in low speed and tighten everything up. Definitely use EMT or MIP for this method. ATR (all thread rod) is a great product to use coming from the ground also. Make some very solid legs to a stationary work bench or lumber rack the same way, by running it down the center of some pipe and capping it off with big washers and build off of that. Its best to anchor to the floor with a drop in anchor and anchor overhead with wedge anchors. But that's not going to be a residential issue. Anyway, you said to comment, so i did. Furthermore, it was a pleasure to watch you two working together. You work well together. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. I'll subscribe and try to keep my comments to a minimum. It's just that i have got a lot of building and designing experience and sometimes i get a little sentimental.. lol
I wonder if it was a hassle to get it hooked up level with the chain link or if you were fine with it being close enough. Theirs seems to be very clean, precise and symmetrical. Howd yours turn out?
I don’t know if you have ever seen a high rise garage door lift conversion but it completely changes the space and appearance of your garage size!!! Would be a cool series to watch! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I saw a couple of comments about the attitude you two display on this channel. I thought I should say that I liked/sub'd for that very reason the first time I watched one of these videos. The content here is great and it is nice to see the common positive attitude. Looking forward to viewing more of these.
18:52 That's a pretty slick piece of hardware. As an electrician, I never saw allthread or strut attached to wood, or a home at all. I only saw that stuff used in commercial/industrial applications and we were always attaching to structural steel. Awesome tip.
Wow! I love not only the instructional aspect of building the shelving unit but more than that how father and son absolutely have a great bond and chemistry working together, Awesome!!!
HEY Paul, just saw this video for the first time. Both you and Jordan did a fantastic job building these shelves. I sure like the way you work, and the extra steps you take, or as we say " OVER KILLED ". You are certainly a great trades person, as always, I enjoy your videos.
Why I just found this video today who knows. I just bought a house and I’m 2 days into and need a excuse to buy new tools and to build a shelf system. I’m saving the video and going to tackle this with my son. He’s 9 so we’ll see how it goes. Thanks gentlemen
We have a basement but I’m getting too decrepit to keep hauling all of this Xmas junk up and down. Yeah, I called it junk, I am the original Grinch. What we actually need is a dumpster.
Wow, what a great video with a father and son project. I think a lot of fathers would love to be doing that kind of fun projects with their kids!! It says only a year ago when you had only 12K subscribers and now it says 144K. Well done to you both 🏆
Awesome. You guys explained everything in a laymen way. Very understandable for someone who don't know the process. Great work. God bless you and your family
Thanks to this video I built these in my garage and did it a little different but same concept. Really nailed it. I’ve been starting at them al day lol. I think what was really a great touch was the threaded rod and rod anchors. Probably the best part of this whole vid. Nice touch dad. Thanks
Love this content!! Couple years ago I bought a 40ft shipping container and wanted to line one whole side with shelves. I'm a little OCD and like my screws to line up. I spent a little extra time building some jigs outta scraps laying around and saved loads of time not having to measure for each and every screw on every 2×4. 15 shelves and the screws are in the exact same place on every one of them😁
10:54 "Little Bites". I like that. My Dad has always said, "Don't be overwhelmed by the entire project. "CHUNK IT OFF". Do necessary things in "Chunks". I know what you meant & I really respect that work ethic. I subscribed 10-9-22 near the end of the day. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel.
Hey gang. We've had lots of comments on the dangers of hanging shelves like this from roof trusses, undersized ceiling joists, TJI's, etc. On this project, there is a full second story above the garage and we hung the shelves from 2x12 ceiling joists. Be sure to consult with a structural engineer anytime you are adding additional loads to the framing in your house. Thx!!
Was wondering that myself.
I appreciate this comment. I've been considering a very similar system to utilize the dead space above my garage door. I have a truss system that are 24" on center. They run parallel to the garage door, meaning the same 2 trusses would bear the weight of the structure length. For further detail, I would build 2 separate frames to run 1 on each side of the garage door opener bar. But again this still would utilize the same 2 trusses, although it would be split by the king post in the middle. Just typing out loud here, any thoughts?
@@gottabdcheese
another thing, imo, to keep in mind are those "nailing" plates if your truss is of that kind. Not sure how endbutted 2x material would distribute weight to the walls to be sent to the ground.
I think all attached garages should be designed to have a full floor above the ceiling. Why ???? Because at almost any time in a houses history someone is going to want to store sh!t up there. Hell ... if I was in a house with an unfinished garage I'd want to put some sort of floor up there so my lil boy could play up there. Instead of inbetween my feet like a cat causing me to trip and fall....
@@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 Yeah, I have those nailing plates. And to validate your point, my attached garage is drywall finished, but I still cut a hole up there and slayed a few sheets of plywood to store some rarely used things! Would have been great if the builder incorporated this.
These shelves would be to provide easier access to totes and bins that are more actively used.
Same goes for saferack shelving. In fact nothing should be hung from LVL joists
As a dad, I gotta speak up about how kind, respectful, enthusiastic, and caring you two are with each other. Your on screen chemistry is authentic and charming!
Thx Ollie, much appreciated!!
12,000 + 1 love you guys.
I agree. My daughter works full time for me as well in the same industry.
I agree, so refreshing. You did good dad!
Agree! My son and I would be arguing the entire time..

I have watched this video a couple times. I still learned something new. I love the wise old guy/ strong young guy vibe.
What old guy 😂🤔

Yep I've done it that way too but thought y'all would like to see this method. A little cleaner and much less drilling👍

@@StudPack may i say that you’re both quite blesst having each other. just two illustrations of what real men are made of.
30yrs, 4 kids, a real mom, a real dad. kinda sounds like a real family.
clearly, luck had not a thing in the world to do with a cool dad and a cool son. im thinkin who how and what you are just runs in the family.
and, your content is so good im not sure how you cld really improve it. your honesty respect integrity transparency, are fairly w/o rival.
likewise the quality of your videos.
i cannot get enough of your videos.
thank you very much gents!
very well and nicely done.
This is one of the first Stud Pack videos I watched. I was searching for shelving ideas for my own garage. While I didn’t use the hangers like this it sure did give me the ideas on how to proceed. I now have the usable parts of 3 walls covered in shelving. My walls are 10’6” high and I struggled to find a good solution. I now have 2 rows 2’ deep and I spaced them to fit totes and/or buckets. Next project may be pipe rails and a library ladder for access.
You guys are great together. Until 20k, I'll just call mystery man Stud Pack 1. Take care, y'all.
Oh yeah, I checked, you passed that sub rate, what’s your name?
You look really familiar.
I just want to say, you tell us you were embarrassed at the state of the garage. You have one that mirrors many! So the first point is - don't worry about the mess lol. But mostly I wanted to say thanks for being humble enough to still include the project on the channel even though it was embarrassing a bit. I hope the number of views you got shows you it was needed! Keep it up.

I’m not even looking at building shelves yet, but the Son & Father bond is awesome is this video.
Nice work boys! My new place has a detached metal shop/garage, so doing something like this is a lot more difficult. I had similar setup at my last house, with suspended loft style shelving, just used 2x4 for the supports instead of threaded rod. That father-son relationship is awesome too!
Love you guys as an amazing father and son team. May God keep you strong and closer as the years go by.
That’s exactly what I was looking for, have high ceilings in my garage which is a waste of space until I found this video.
Perfect timing…my wife just mentioned how she wants better shelving in the garage for all our stuff. I’ll buy the bins first and then determine the distance between the shelves based on the size of the storage bins. Thanks so much guys!
Great idea never seen the threaded rod method,I used turnbuckles and chain on mine,great video
I liked the fact that you only have fabricate the shelf itself and then use the threaded rod, supper cool idea.
Thanks for this guys. Just found you and quickly subbed. I lost my dad too early back in 2015 (I was 26) and this brought back great memories of working with him on all sorts of garage projects. I look forward to doing the same with my son and daughter someday soon. Thanks and keep it up!

Good to see Jordan wearing his construction flip-flops.
No shortcuts. Precision. Taking the time to do things the right way. Hands down best youtube videos to learn 👍👍👍
I don't know why youtube suggested this video, but I'm glad it did. New subscriber here.
I am a single mum who is planning on making some shelves and this was great 😊 thank you 😊
I like the video, the shelves are really nice. I am thinking of how to employ your idea in my garage. The threaded rods are a game changer!
First time I've seen one of your video's . I must admit when I heard Jordan reply " Yes Sir " to his dad I was sold and subscribed .
Thx Eagle Rider 👊👍
Awesome job! I'm looking forward to building some of these in my garage. Thank's for the inspiration!
Thx Kristen!!
Thank you for making this video look doable for a non-handyman.
Ya know I've watched a lot of garage organizations, and most are lies. Thank you for just posting what it actually is start and finish..well in progress
Nice shlves. If it were me I would add support to the inside corner of your ell shape shelve. It will sag without.
LOVE the channel name. That's fantastic. Incredible that you grew from 12k subscribers to well over 600k in just 3 years. That's bonkers! Great work gang. 😎
I was going to hang my corner shelf with a cable on the floating corner, but I like this solution MUCH better. 💪🏽
Great idea and appreciated all of the threaded rod info and tricks. Now, I'm just waiting till the big name reveal at 20k!
Same
In case you’re still waiting, their names are Paul & Jordan Selleck. I saw a piece on them in some business mag!
Last name is Selleck, read the license plate.
The energy between the two of you is very refreshing. Also not often that I see people who pay attention to detail and pride in their workmanship. Thank you for the opportunity to see that
Here's an additional tip. Built an extra shelf if you can as it makes a great platform for a makeshift scaffold by using two saw horses, you have a nice sturdy platform to stand on to reach things like painting the fascia and overhangs of your house. You can also place a regular 8' ladder on top of it for more reach. Just make sure your saw horses are wider than 2'
Also useful outside in the yard, sitting up across the truck bed, for reaching tree limbs that need cutting. Ask me how I know ... 🙂
Geez, that’s brilliant! Wish I would have seen this five years ago before I built my garage shelves. Well done gents!
Thx 👍💪
Good job. I've been making similar shelves for years. You can cut out some of the hardware and give them a more refined look by drilling through the 2x4 with a sloppy hole and covering it with a fender washer and using 1/2"ø or 3/4"ø PVC pipe or electricians conduit as spacers, cut to the right length to provide the desired spread and use just one nut to tighten everything together. Also, its a good idea to get a locking nut up against that atr transition lag screw (i forget their proper name. If you have a little mig welder, they're easy to make). You can recess the bolt holes to hide the connection too and to hide the ends of whatever pipe you use. One more thing i have learned over the years is that shelves are plenty strong when they're made of 1x2 skeleton frames on edge and skinned with MDF on both sides to hide the cleat that attaches them to the wall or just skin the top surface. I really can't think of anything that I'm going to lift that high that needs to be supported by a 2x4 on edge and 1/2" OSB. If you're good with your wire tying , you can get away with hanging them the same way but using some good tiewire running inside the pipe, twisted tight and maybe capped off with a big wire nut up inside a recessed hole. Just hammer a teko nail through the side of the bottom hole and be sure the wire goes on each side of the nail and chuck both ends up in your drill. Being sure both ends of wire are equal in length. Put drill in low speed and tighten everything up. Definitely use EMT or MIP for this method.
ATR (all thread rod) is a great product to use coming from the ground also. Make some very solid legs to a stationary work bench or lumber rack the same way, by running it down the center of some pipe and capping it off with big washers and build off of that. Its best to anchor to the floor with a drop in anchor and anchor overhead with wedge anchors. But that's not going to be a residential issue.
Anyway, you said to comment, so i did. Furthermore, it was a pleasure to watch you two working together. You work well together. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. I'll subscribe and try to keep my comments to a minimum. It's just that i have got a lot of building and designing experience and sometimes i get a little sentimental.. lol
Much appreciated j dog Thx 💪👍
Cute caricature of Jordan and his sister on the garage wall !! Love your channel
Thx Steve. Yeah we love that drawing. Done at Legoland Carlsbad CA when they were little 👊👍
Well done guys!
I hope my son turns out as great as your son has. Great father!!!! Great son! Great team! 👍❤👍❤
Super appreciate that 👊
I used chains with a wood lag eyelet into the ceiling and a 4 screw bracket on the shelf instead of threaded rod. I think it looks cooler.
I wonder if it was a hassle to get it hooked up level with the chain link or if you were fine with it being close enough. Theirs seems to be very clean, precise and symmetrical. Howd yours turn out?
I don’t know if you have ever seen a high rise garage door lift conversion but it completely changes the space and appearance of your garage size!!! Would be a cool series to watch! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I need these shelves in my Garage! thanks for the Idea! OORAH
I saw a couple of comments about the attitude you two display on this channel. I thought I should say that I liked/sub'd for that very reason the first time I watched one of these videos. The content here is great and it is nice to see the common positive attitude. Looking forward to viewing more of these.
I miss the days of $2-ish 2x4s. They’re $5-6 now because of Covid.
Laughing in $12+ 2X4 here in June 😂
$12 . But , it’ll only be $1 - maybe even $0.50 / each , after Mr . Trump is re-elected for a third time . It’s always darkest before the dawn .
18:52 That's a pretty slick piece of hardware. As an electrician, I never saw allthread or strut attached to wood, or a home at all. I only saw that stuff used in commercial/industrial applications and we were always attaching to structural steel. Awesome tip.
10:17 I like the subtle "subscribe!" message you actually picked up a new sub with it......me lol
Ha, thanks. That one was my idea 😁
Hands down al Bs aside by fare the best shelf video out there and I've viewed dozens. Kept short , simple keep up the good work.
His identity almost revealed. Who is this tool-belted crusader of home renovation and repair?
It is he who wields a jewel-encrusted hammer and a tool belt of fine Corinthian leather.
Wow! I love not only the instructional aspect of building the shelving unit but more than that how father and son absolutely have a great bond and chemistry working together, Awesome!!!
Decorations and light stuff should be no problem, only too much heavy stuff.
HEY Paul, just saw this video for the first time. Both you and Jordan did a fantastic job building these shelves. I sure like the way you work, and the extra steps you take, or as we say " OVER KILLED ". You are certainly a great trades person, as always, I enjoy your videos.
Thanks Tony! 👊🏼
can you say "time for A GARAGE SALE"??
Why I just found this video today who knows. I just bought a house and I’m 2 days into and need a excuse to buy new tools and to build a shelf system. I’m saving the video and going to tackle this with my son. He’s 9 so we’ll see how it goes. Thanks gentlemen
We have a basement but I’m getting too decrepit to keep hauling all of this Xmas junk up and down. Yeah, I called it junk, I am the original Grinch. What we actually need is a dumpster.
Wow, what a great video with a father and son project. I think a lot of fathers would love to be doing that kind of fun projects with their kids!! It says only a year ago when you had only 12K subscribers and now it says 144K. Well done to you both 🏆
Thank you very much 👊
"Found a garage"... where can I just find a garage to work in? Wtb garage.
Really awesome work fellas!!! I’m a remodeler of almost 30 years, I’m totally adopting that idea, it rocks!!!!
Split locknut! I appreciate all the short pauses in work to explain the little things.
Awesome. You guys explained everything in a laymen way. Very understandable for someone who don't know the process. Great work. God bless you and your family
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks to this video I built these in my garage and did it a little different but same concept. Really nailed it. I’ve been starting at them al day lol. I think what was really a great touch was the threaded rod and rod anchors. Probably the best part of this whole vid. Nice touch dad. Thanks
What a great team. Hope your son realizes how lucky he is to work with this father and learn different skills. Nice job dad
The father/son chemistry is amazing.. Love it..
Love this content!! Couple years ago I bought a 40ft shipping container and wanted to line one whole side with shelves. I'm a little OCD and like my screws to line up. I spent a little extra time building some jigs outta scraps laying around and saved loads of time not having to measure for each and every screw on every 2×4. 15 shelves and the screws are in the exact same place on every one of them😁
Thank you for answering my question about framing nails to assemble the shelves before I even asked! Another great and practical video. 👏
LOL I loved when he pulled himself up and says sorry, hahahaha he didn't realize you were holding it up! Great video!
Father and son that works great together! I learned a lot! Thank you and good luck!
10:54 "Little Bites". I like that.
My Dad has always said, "Don't be overwhelmed by the entire project. "CHUNK IT OFF".
Do necessary things in "Chunks".
I know what you meant & I really respect that work ethic.
I subscribed 10-9-22 near the end of the day.
Looking forward to seeing more of your channel.
