I'm also in the business of carpentry and am well aware of the money, time, and expertise that go into doing this type of professional work. With that being said, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and time youput into giving those that have never done this type of work and maybe cannot afford to pay someone else to do it HOPE. If you can follow directions, you can do this. Thank you for your very needed video. Blessings and much success to you.
I know this is 11mo late and you probably figured it out but for those that have the same question….it looks like he nailed the vertical boards to the horizontal support boards. Same for the triangle, looks like a small board nailed to the wall then the triangle nailed to the small board. I’ve been told to use wood glue as a reinforcement but it doesn’t seem like he used any.
This was what I was looking for...WOW! I have been lost in my new construction. My closet has been a pain in my brain for 10 months now. I finally found your video and I think it turned on my light bulb. Thank you so, so very much. You Rock! I see in the comments I'm not the only one who noticed, lol. Keep posting , keep changing people's lives and giving awesome eye opening videos.
Thank you for creating an easily understood video. I was going to install the wire shelves that you had until seeing this video & realizing what a difference the solid shelves make compared to the wire. Whew! Saved me from major disappointment!
3:21 thank you so much for explaining why to use an oil based primer. We made the mistake of using water based on MDF and noticed the raised wood fibers. Thankfully, the shelves were for our basement shop area so it wasn't such a disappointment. We're getting ready to make closet systems and now I know!
You're very good buddy, I might be wrong but I think you're a professional closet/cabinetry installer, but you are indeed just great in DIY cabinetry. Thanks for your video, learned a couple good stuff. Hi five from Ethiopia
Just a couple of comments. 1. If you don't have a pick-up, you can get Home Depot/Lowes etc. to cut the shelves for you when you purchase the MDF sheet. 2. If you are cutting the 4X8 sheet yourself, keep in mind after you cut the first three 12 inch shelves, the fourth shelf (the left over piece) will be 12 inches minus 3x the thickness of the saw blade. So if you want 4 equal shelves, you have to determine the thickness of the blade then multiply that by 3 and subtract the result from 48 inches. Then you can divide by 4 and use that as your measurement to cut each piece.
He's shooting from the inside of the support walls into the shelve supports that are shot to the wall studs. you can see this step at 7:30 pretty well.
You do this stuff like it's a piece of cake. Very impressive, I just didn't get that gene apparently, but I will try to get this done anyway. Great video, thanks.
This was such an easy video to understand and follow! You are great at teaching this DIY building stuff. Thank you! I gained so much confidence just from watching your video and listening to your instructions. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤗
Damn, this is the exactly what I was looking for. I was going to do everything in a very complicated way with frames etc. I will still need to do that for the free parts, but this is so much better for everything I can do near the walls. Thanks so much for this great video!
@@StayHandy it really was. Could I use plywood to create sort of like walls if I want to turn a free standing wall into a walk-in closet? I can do the shelves this way, but the other side is freestanding and I am looking for the easiest way to make something happen there. Thanks so much again!
Sorry if this has already been asked, but do you have any tips on how you installed the middle triangle support pieces? Curious how you made them sturdy and got them nailed into the wall?
This is just what I was looking for. Retirement cabin in North Georgia has this very large closet off master bedroom. Great video making sure to subscribe!!
Thanks for this great video! 🙂 what if we want to put our railings for hanging clothes drilled straight on the wall. Can we do this?will it be stable? Thanks!
You want to try to hit a stud so it can bear the weight. If you can’t, you can use drywall anchors and since they are only seeing a shear force they should hold up.
Awesome video ... you make it look too easy! How do you fasten the vertical board at ~6:30? It looks like it's just nailed to the cleat at the top - will that be strong enough?
How did you secure the long, vertical dividers ? Simply Brad nail to connecting shelves and 1X2, support slats or did you run a few nails or screws at an angle , through board , into stud? Thanks! Great video
Thanks, Very helpful watched it several times for little details you mentioned. Just one question, what if I don’t want the vertical boards to touch the floor? How can I support them with 1’ ground clearance?
You'll have to attach them to the wall using L brackets or screw a 2x2 to the wall and then attach to the 2x2. There are other ways, but it will require a much stronger attachment method if the weight isn't being transmitted through the floor.
Great video Dan. Thanks man. My wife shared it with me. I was already subscribed, because I have a handyman business of my own. Pretty nifty stuff. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Super video, I’m lucky, because I have the same closet, I’m going to build one, thanks a lot for your time an video. Only one question, how much approximately did u spent in your project ? Thanks again.
I your doing great job out there. I admire your willingness to keep the job. If you don’t mind will you tell me your machine names and the best type. I’m planning to work on my own home 🏡 😂
Fabulous video! You cut the carpet to rest the vertical plank upon. Because the cut carpet changes the elevation of your plank across ALL measurements, how do you factor in that cut?
Good question. I used the same nail gun (brad nailer) to attach them to the wall at stud locations. Once they were nailed to the wall, I put a couple of nails in from the top of the shelf down into the shelf supports.
@@ctaz1 did you ever figure out how to do this. Same question I had on the triangle to the supports. Only way I could think is pocket holes. I’m at this point in the project. I need advise 😬
@@charlecegrubbs959 I have not gotten a response. I guess pocket holes are an options but doesn’t seem strong enough to me. But I haven’t tried it myself yet.

Well said!
Most vids just show them cutting and installing everything. Thank you for breaking it down for us beginners!
You’re welcome!
This is the best DIY walk in closet on a budget, ever. I will tackle this project this spring for the wife. Thank you very much!
Thanks!
How are the vertical boards supported to stand straight? Also how are the triangles fastened to the boards? All with glue? I see no corner brackets.
Interested as well!
Same

Great video! I watched this morning, and by the end of the day, I got my little walk-in closet fully custom-made. You changed my life...thank you!!!
This was a really good video! Super informative and you spoke so clearly and succinctly. No “and” “um”. Well done.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for creating an easily understood video. I was going to install the wire shelves that you had until seeing this video & realizing what a difference the solid shelves make compared to the wire. Whew! Saved me from major disappointment!
It’s a lot more work but it’s very nice to have solid shelves.

No problem. Glad you know now.
I love how detailed this video is, I'm feeling like I can take on my closet 🙂
You can do it!
Sooo helpfull

@@StayHandy You're welcome. Really nice job on the closet. Thanks for mentioning the water based vs oil based issue with the paint.

@@StayHandyAre the shelves the same color as the closet walls?
Last time I had HD cut my stuff they messed up all the measurements! I had to recut everything myself.
Awesome video. Can you explain how the support walls stay up??
He's shooting from the inside of the support walls into the shelve supports that are shot to the wall studs. you can see this step at 7:30 pretty well.
This is the first video that actually says simple tools, and it was. It's very inspiring 😊
Thanks!

I have the same question as well.
Será mi primera vez en carpintería, pero lo hace ver que si se puede y me animaré! Muchas gracias de antemano
nice details on how you dealt with the carpet and that add angled wall

Yes. The nails just needs yo keep it in place. It’s supported by the vertical boards and at the walls.
How did you secure the long, vertical dividers ? Simply Brad nail to connecting shelves and 1X2, support slats or did you run a few nails or screws at an angle , through board , into stud? Thanks! Great video
Love the hair, Dan!
Finally a step step by diy
Thank you for this video. I would like to know how I can do same without the cutting tools.
Great video keep up the good work
Thank you!
Thanks for the detailed video. How you are connecting Vertical boards. I don't see glue or nail?
The verticle boards are held up by the shelves and the floor. They are also nailed to the shelves.
Thanks, Very helpful watched it several times for little details you mentioned. Just one question, what if I don’t want the vertical boards to touch the floor? How can I support them with 1’ ground clearance?

Great video , How did you tack the vertical boards to the back wall?
Hey you amazing, can u please recommend what gauge brad nailer u used, like I have two 18 and 23 gauge
This video motivated me to start working on my own walk in closet! 😊 Great explanation!
Glad I could help!
Wow! It's perfect 👌🏼
Thanks!
Great work!👍
Thank you! 👍
damn this dude is a pro
Haha, thanks bro.
hey my guy great video. I don't have carpentry tools to cut the panel, wants the next best thing to do.
Thank you very informative new subscriber
Super video, I’m lucky, because I have the same closet, I’m going to build one, thanks a lot for your time an video. Only one question, how much approximately did u spent in your project ? Thanks again.
I can’t remember exactly, but less than $200. The main cost is MDF and paint. But you may need a closet rod or two.
Thank you! Just what I needed.
I your doing great job out there. I admire your willingness to keep the job. If you don’t mind will you tell me your machine names and the best type.
I’m planning to work on my own home 🏡 😂
Fabulous video! You cut the carpet to rest the vertical plank upon. Because the cut carpet changes the elevation of your plank across ALL measurements, how do you factor in that cut?
Thanks! I cut the verticals prices an inch long and then cut them down during install to the exact dimension I need.
Thanks,explained in plain talk,Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
If you have a rod being supported by one of the mdf support boards - how much weight can it hold?
Great video. any recommendation for metal studs? would the nailer still do the trick?
You’d have to use screws for metal studs
Great video!! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Very helpful thank you
Wow how you learn DIY so professionally?
I've been a professional handyman for the last ten years.
How do you install the triangular support and how do you anchor the shelves to the supports?
Good question. I used the same nail gun (brad nailer) to attach them to the wall at stud locations. Once they were nailed to the wall, I put a couple of nails in from the top of the shelf down into the shelf supports.
@@StayHandy thanks
@@StayHandy did you toenail them in or just put a nail near the bottom? Just thinking it’s too thick to go very far up the triangle with brads.
@@ctaz1 did you ever figure out how to do this. Same question I had on the triangle to the supports. Only way I could think is pocket holes. I’m at this point in the project. I need advise 😬
@@charlecegrubbs959 I have not gotten a response. I guess pocket holes are an options but doesn’t seem strong enough to me. But I haven’t tried it myself yet.
Great video 😄😄😄
finally thank u I found a steby step.
This is an amazing video man. Thank you! I feel like I know what I'm doing now.
Happy to help!
Thank you! Very helpful!
You're welcome!
Great video and info!! How did you get the corners on the shelves? Did you cut them or router them? Thank you!!
Another great video!
one of the few good vids
Are brad nails really strong enough on their own? I’m using 16 ga. brads with construction adhesive and still a bit worried about strength!
Wow, that is clever! Love it💕
This is great. Sorry to bother but how did you "re-attach" the carpet or did you leave it loose?
Impressive! I don't have all the machine to do it by myself but I wanted too! Same as the little one you showed.
❤🔥🔥appreciate everything!!!
Great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great job.....😃
Thanks!
Hello brother thanks for your video if I want to take a course of this skill what is the name
