So elegant, good looking, and impressive. But enough about me, let's talk about your build. It looks good too. Another good bike-holding build and with alternate methods one could use. Good job Johnny!
Your design is more than appropriate. These days, I was thinking about how and with what to hold my road bike. Thank you. Excellent project and also decorative.
Really nice work. I appreciate the varied instruction, giving options for well equipped as well as not-so-well-equipped workshops. All too often hobbyists are put off when they see a person's shop that is well equipped, moving on with a bit of disappointment that they don't have the tools and therefore cannot do these projects. Sorry for the wordiness, but I hope you get my appreciation out of it. Have a Safe and Happy Holidays to you and your family!!! - Jack
Thanks man, glad you appreciated it! It was definitely a bit of extra work, but I thought it was worth it to show the alternative since I know most folks don't have a CNC.
This is a awesome design and build. I really like the look of the plywood and finishing with a little walnut was nice thinking. Also great job on giving everyone options on tools to help build the rack nice touch!!
Great looking project. I can tell that you're not trying to make these to sell for a profit! You'd either need to work for free, or get the materials for free, (or both), to be able to sell these for a profit. You do great work. You're like an artist. My problem is that I'm viewing things from 35 years in production management. (Speed, material costs, profits).
Yup, just making this one for fun. It would be extremely difficult to make these as a production product. A large bed CNC could batch out the parts pretty quick, and you could just use Walnut veneered plywood for the top layer. That would eliminate most of the labor.
lol, thanks Becky! Big fan of your stuff on Instructables, thanks for checking out my video. Expect to see this project over there later this afternoon!
Couldn't help but notice the Hi-Wire hat. Are you in NC? Charlotte here. I was thinking, what if you were to build the rack in 2-3 smaller sections, ones that were within the capacity of your spindle sander? You could use it to cut down on the amount of sanding necessary by assembling the already-sanded sections, and reducing the number of glue joints that would need to be hand-sanded. Just a thought....
I really like this design Johnny! I've been wanting to do a few bike racks to sell down around the University of Oklahoma. I think they would sell well to the students. May have to try this design out.
Im wondering if you were to stagger the lengths of the dowels if it would add any structural integrity. That way each section would have at least a solid piece of dowel. I noticed that a section would start with half pieces. Does that make any sense? Or even use a dowel the length of the rack?
Hey Johnny Brooke, Could you also do this project by edge jointing 2x4 s together so that you do not have to cut so many triangles? Let me know if this is a better option. By the way, my son loves woodworking and loves what you make.
I’ve been thinking of doing something very similar to this only difference would be the bike hangs from the nose of the bike seat vs on the frame. Basically flip yours upside down and extend the long edge out a couple inches past the triangle and the bike seat nose hangs on that. This way ANY BIKE could be hung on it.
Johnny this is a cool looking project! A lot better looking than those metal racks out there. I was hoping you had a clever way of sanding the glue off like making a jig you can set the piece in and sending it through the Planner or Belt Sander. Great work man! Oh I think I missed this, but did you say how much the supports can hold weight wise?
Elegant, however what I would have done differently is make a deeper cut out where the frame sits. Or put a lip or a piece of a 1/2 inch piece of wood in the front so it won’t slide off.
Stop being sorry for using your CNC Johnny.. you earned it brother and I understand people bitch and moan about them not having one or whatever blah blah. Anyone that complains about it just don’t have one lol. I don’t have one and love day dreaming about having one and watching those that do that way I live vicariously through them until I get one. 😊
I'm surprised at the amount of misalignment that remained between the pieces, even with the CNC. Do you think the assembly would have been aligned better if you had duplicated the pieces with the flush trim bit AND with the dowels inserted for alignment?
I'm not sure what caused the misalignment, honestly. I know one of the layers was off since the dowel I used was too short, so that was part of the issue. Glue squeeze out was the other big thing to contend with.
looks great and I am not looking forward to the sanding, at least its on a smaller scale than the laminated plywood bench! Love the exposed layers of the plywood and the addition of the walnut veneer on the face! #missingthesquat
I feel like the veneer would be easier to add to the last plywood blank before you cut or assemble it? As I builder, I love these videos, they give you great ideas for solutions to problems!' :)
Your GoPro is is the wrong setting... thats why you havr black bars... if you choose the resolution size below it will be the correct shape for the video and you actually dont loose quality just a bit from the top and bottom
Hey Johnny I just saw on Alex's channel that you guys might be looking for a mountain biker with a new van to do a build out. Please hit me up! Thank you
As wall art, it's good. As a functional bike rack, not so much. Virtually everyone who actually rides a road bike always have 2 water bottle cages mounted inside the frame.
Depends on the person really. I would say most commuters wouldn't have or need two cages. Also, two cages will fit with a larger bike, this was my wife's small women's frame as I said in the video. Thanks for watching!
This build opens the door wide to lots of ideas to make different kinds and shapes of box shelves , thank you for the inspiration.
For sure! Thanks.
Nice! Gotta love that layered plywood look.
Thanks Shaun! You’ve been killing it lately, great builds.
Turned out nice! Yeah, that looked like a TON of sanding. I like what adding the walnut to the front did for it.
Thanks Bruce! I think the Walnut made the piece, would be a little dull without it.
So elegant, good looking, and impressive. But enough about me, let's talk about your build. It looks good too. Another good bike-holding build and with alternate methods one could use. Good job Johnny!
Hah, thanks man!
Love that you are reppin' both Hi-Wire Brewing along with Pappy. Two of my absolute favorites.
Hah, thanks Stephen! You in the WNC area?
Crafted Workshop I live down in Greenville SC but make my way up to Asheville a decent amount. Hi Wire has one of the best sour beer programs around.
Nice! Yea they’re the best in town now that Wicked Weed got bought. I’m just north of Asheville.
Crafted Workshop Wicked is still putting out a pretty good product but Hi Wire is tops.
Yea but I'm not going to support an AB Inbev owned company when I can support local.
Your design is more than appropriate.
These days, I was thinking about how and with what to hold my road bike.
Thank you.
Excellent project and also decorative.
Thanks, I think it turned out great, perfect for displaying your fancy bike!
Looks great. Love the layered ply and walnut combo
Thanks!
Form and Function very nicely combined
Thanks!
That planer shot was awesome. Super creative, great video!
Thanks! Fun to incorporate the GoPro shots here and there.
Looks great
Thanks! Great to see you still in the comments after meeting you in Atlanta at the Maker Faire last year.
It's cool how you used plywood for this. It looks great man. Great job as always!
Thanks man! I love the look of exposed ply, really cool effect.
Perfect for a Condo. Many thanks for the idea and video
Thanks!
Turned out great, Johnny!
Thanks man!
Nice touch with the veneer . Cool design .
Thanks man!

Nice clean design and great for the pool table. Excellent!

Looks cool, I almost want to see it as a trapezoid so that your inside hole is a flat shelf, albeit a small one... Good job Johnny!
Thanks! Yea, I was trying to leave room for one bottle cage, hence the triangle.
Very Nice!
Thanks Frank!
Beautiful wood work!
SO sweet. what a great project!
Thanks man!
How can I mod this to display a unicycle? Love it, you've really got the mid century modern aesthetic eye!
Hmm, that's interesting! You could probably hook your seat over the rack with a few adjustments. Thanks!
Turn the triangle over, then cut a notch in the hypotenuse so the seat sits inside the triangle and the wheel hangs below.
Really cool Johnny! 👍👊
Thanks Fred!
Great job Johnny :) Easily adapted to other objects than just a bike. Thank you ॐ
Thanks, definitely right. This is a fun shelf for anyone, really.
Cool build like the design 👍👍👍
Thanks!
looks great! Very creative
Thanks!
Greatproject. Love the Pappy Van Winkle t-shirt! Awesome bourbon!
Thanks, definitely awesome bourbon!
Great design!
Thanks Anthony!
Great design Johnny, I couldn't work out what you were making on Instagram but it came out amazing!
Thanks man!
Wow. Niiice job & great video. Thks
Yellow rear tire = Trainer Season.
Nice build, that's an attractive, relatively inexpensive option for a rack like that.
Yup yup! Thanks a lot.
Nice work!
Thanks John!
Cool idea...I have no use for it whatsoever but I still watched the whole thing. 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Hah, thanks Dan! Merry Christmas to you too!
Awesome idea!
Thanks!
Excellent project man! Looks great :-)
Thanks!
Yo dawg, stay proud of your line so you can stay proud of your line... great project!
lol, thanks Becky! Big fan of your stuff on Instructables, thanks for checking out my video. Expect to see this project over there later this afternoon!

Great stuff! I want to build something like this, but just haven't gotten around to it, I think you just might gave me some ideas! Awesome video!
Awesome, thanks!
Fantastic idea. I'm so on this 😊
neat result! not a chance to squat next to this :D
Hah, thanks man!
I really like this design Johnny! I've been wanting to do a few bike racks to sell down around the University of Oklahoma. I think they would sell well to the students. May have to try this design out.
Nice, go for it! I agree, I think students would dig it. If you can find a cabinet shop with a CNC, I bet they could crank out the plywood parts.
Nice design
Thanks!
that is so nice!
This is badass
Thanks James!
Very cool!
Thanks!
Im wondering if you were to stagger the lengths of the dowels if it would add any structural integrity. That way each section would have at least a solid piece of dowel. I noticed that a section would start with half pieces. Does that make any sense? Or even use a dowel the length of the rack?
For sure! I only had these shorter dowel plugs on hand but a longer dowel would have been best.
Nice Rack!!!
Hah, thanks Kyle!
I want to make one of these now, although I have no idea where I would put it
Hah, maybe an office or “man cave”? Thanks man.
Nice idea.
Thanks!
Hey Johnny Brooke,

For sure! I just like the exposed ply look. That’s awesome, tell him I said hi!
Super idée ta chaîne est top!!!! (Super idea your channel is awsome !!!!)
Thanks a lot! What language is that?
Cool!!!!
Thanks Travis!
I'd like to see a slick mount for a unicycle some time!
You could hang the nose of the saddle on this rack!
I’ve been thinking of doing something very similar to this only difference would be the bike hangs from the nose of the bike seat vs on the frame. Basically flip yours upside down and extend the long edge out a couple inches past the triangle and the bike seat nose hangs on that. This way ANY BIKE could be hung on it.

Oh I think I missed this, but did you say how much the supports can hold weight wise?
I think the supports are rated for 50 lbs? Thanks, glad you liked it.
CNC is amazing
How do you print out the template onto multiple pieces of paper to allow you to print to scale
The PDF is already split into two pages, just make sure it prints at 100% scale.
Ohhh ok, but what if I wanted to make my own template?
Looks good I don't ride a bike so not for me. But if I had a nice bike to show off or take care off this would be cool maybe some back lighting?
Thanks! Back lighting would definitely add a nice touch.
nice work! id make one myself but I got no bike that is beautiful enough to worth it
Thanks! Time to upgrade your bike 😜
yea maybe your right
Elegant, however what I would have done differently is make a deeper cut out where the frame sits. Or put a lip or a piece of a 1/2 inch piece of wood in the front so it won’t slide off.
I would like to buy one of them, do you sell them?
Stop being sorry for using your CNC Johnny.. you earned it brother and I understand people bitch and moan about them not having one or whatever blah blah. Anyone that complains about it just don’t have one lol. I don’t have one and love day dreaming about having one and watching those that do that way I live vicariously through them until I get one. 😊
Thanks man! I agree with you, just try to give people an alternative if I can. I’m just warning y’all up for more CNC projects in the future 😜
Just found your channel great work brother, im subscribing.
Thanks a lot man!
good idea , great job
Thanks!

Thanks, and yes, the sanding took forever! The squat will be back, just rounded feasibly do it on this one 😊
I feel like the veneer would be easier to add to the last plywood blank before you cut or assemble it?
As I builder, I love these videos, they give you great ideas for solutions to problems!' :)
Thanks! Yea, it might be a little easier but it was honestly very simple as it was, just kind of a last minute idea to make it look a little cooler.
Crafted Workshop yeah fair enough, that does come across to be fair :)
Just an idea for anyone who makes it really :)
this is nice. if only Ikea sells something that we can use instead to save time. very few people have all the tools in their house for this project.
You could build this with a jigsaw, some sandpaper, and a drill!
Can this design be modified to work for a unicycle? This is a real question.
You could probably just hang the nose of the saddle on the edge of the rack. Should work fine.
SUPERNICE...
Thanks!
Nice one son, #thunderthigs is not a rider 😉 happy Christmas buddy have a great one.
Oh, I'm definitely a rider, I have a full suspension mountain bike though, won't work on this one!
Waow a great project !! But to bad that all this work for only one bike ??!! Don’t know if i want to do this for all the bikes at home (4)😱😱😳😳
Lol, it would be a lot of work for four bikes!
Crafted Workshop But be sure that i’m not dimonishing your great work 😜👍🏼
For sure, thanks!
The best 🖖🇺🇸......
Thanks!
我无话可说，已经看傻了，大哥你不是木匠，你是艺术家
Literally just built a bike rack yesterday, lol
Hah, perfect timing!
Wow keren
Awesome :) I want to make a bike rack display for my bikes but i don't think my wife will let me display them in the living room. :(
Hah, bummer. Maybe your office!
Your GoPro is is the wrong setting... thats why you havr black bars... if you choose the resolution size below it will be the correct shape for the video and you actually dont loose quality just a bit from the top and bottom
Dangit! Forgot to crop it in, I’m filming in 2.7k linear mode so I can crop in during editing. Thanks for letting me know (can’t believe I missed it).
Why weren’t your crouching?.. it’s your signature look😀
I’d have to get up on a ladder to squat for this one. 😂
I was thinking the same thing. No Johnny Squat... I'm disappointed...
I would be great especially for those expensive bikes that are kept indoors
For sure! I know a lot of guys whose bike is more expensive than their car, hah.
Funny you should say that because I have a few friends with over 5k bikes
Hey Johnny I just saw on Alex's channel that you guys might be looking for a mountain biker with a new van to do a build out. Please hit me up! Thank you
Buenísimo
Thanks!
Y el portabidones de la bici?
Paqueteee
Jajajaaaaaa
You have some Pappy in that “water” bottle?
I wish!
As wall art, it's good. As a functional bike rack, not so much. Virtually everyone who actually rides a road bike always have 2 water bottle cages mounted inside the frame.
Depends on the person really. I would say most commuters wouldn't have or need two cages. Also, two cages will fit with a larger bike, this was my wife's small women's frame as I said in the video. Thanks for watching!
If it was time-consuming for you, then I've got no hope!
I used it in a bus for special trips
Im here because of Alexander.
Nice, welcome to the channel!
That one way to make you bike stand off the wall
Thanks!
this video kinda break my heartz....
No squat :( lol
nice ears freak
Thanks!
Normandy Wiegand judgemental much?
Very cool!!
Thanks mama!
