- How to put 20 feet of cabinets on 9 feet of wall! I couldn't afford the ultimate storage cabinet for my garage so I built it. This is the ultimate space-saving storage solution ever! You won't believe how this storage system works and how much it will hold. If you need garage space then you need to build this cabinet. I built mine for a fraction of the cost of the inspiration storage cabinet. I saved $5,000. Be sure to check out my garage makeover video where I saved thousands more!

Good job. A couple of points for others. Instead of building the ends as post, just build the ends as shelves with post in the corners, as there is no real need to move either of the two end sections. Also, by putting a backing panel in the middle ( or offset from center ) you can make the sliding sections double faced. And lastly why not dado with the dado setup you already have on the radial arm saw ? That being said, it is still a nice project as you did it.
@@hongtanke - exactly the same I wanted to post just now. Foot pedal for power or doubled emergency stop would eliminate the problem. "high tech" solution would be auto cutoff if RPM = 0 & Power != 0 & t = 2s. Also easy to do but not as easy as two first methods.
Nice work, I think this systems been in our heads for a while.. makes you think though, couldn't you just fit that all on the wall?
Great build. You could save even more by making the 2 end units stationary and they could hold the whole assembly up. No need to have them slide unnecessarily. Just a thought.
That’s true. It would save a couple hundred dollars.
I would never have thought of that. Excellent improvement in many ways, more stable, easier to build shorter span for trolly track might not require metal tubing support.
@@HAXMAN Each sliding unit could also have shelves on both sides, cutting the trolley cost in half.
Likely cheaper still to just have fixed wheels on the bottom for 2 units with front and back shelves and then 2 single sided units on each end. Resulting in 3 different openings of shelves either side.
@@ErikTroyer Great idea! And possibly some very low profile track to keep them aligned side to side.
Shout out to the wife for being the patient camera woman! Most underrated thing of the episode. 😅
This is amazing! The commercial system is so cool, but also so insanely expensive. Something we did on a similar system was take a photo of each sliding-shelf, showing everything on it, and then printed it off and put it in a small picture frame attached to the shop-facing side of each shelf unit. Makes "looking" for stuff so much faster.
You see systems like this in many law offices where they need to store a bunch of records in a small space. You just need enough space to allow for however many different parts you want to access at once. In an extreme case, you only need an extra 4' or so of space on top of the physical width of the shelves.
LOL! The gorilla peeking through the door at the end was funny!
When I was about 16, I thought I was alone in the house, and I heard something out in the garage. I ignored it, thinking I was just hearing things. Then I heard it again, so I crept over to the door (glass like that, but with a curtain on the inside). I peeked through the curtain, and this gorilla head suddenly pops up, and I nearly crap my pants while staggering backwards. My dad said the look on my face was absolutely priceless. Yeah... thanks pops.
Putting the trolley in after welding is actually an improvement. If one goes bad in the future you can more easily replace it.
Not sure how easy future replacement will be unless it is on the end he cut out. Now if he did a cutout about 1/3 into the track and spaced it to where he could bolt the cut out bit of Unistrut in place. Also if you don't have access to a welder for this job, It will be a pain with the 2x6s but, you should be able to bolt the two together.
I also wonder if aircraft cable might be a mounting option instead of the additional plate for the slides.
@@nickm9102what do you mean by aircraft cable?
@@saritshull3909 wire rope. Braided cables made from wire strands commonly used in aircraft, but also in rigging and lifting and non-aircraft machinery.
The radial arm saw brings me back to my first year carpentry class in high school, back in '98 or '99, and the teacher warned us that the radial arm saw will kick back. He can hear when it happens, but for us whom are all deaf, we have to go by the feel. I was cutting some solid oak plank - maybe 12" wide I can't remember it's like a lifetime ago - and sure enough, the saw immediately tried to kick back, but because of his warning and my stance, I was able to prevent the saw from trying to chew up my hands or take out my shoulder as I was braced in anticipation of these kickback. When the saw kickback, my teacher immediately swiveled his head to check on me, and I nodded to let him know I got it.
Was the router that got a kid in my class(I was a kid too), routered the tip of his finger right off. Held it up, it shot blood in an arc, girl feinted... shop was cancelled for the day. Good times! Kid was trying to router a bevel on a wooden yoyo so hand routering a tiny 2 inch circle.
@@menchelke My teacher once relayed a story of this stupid kid who was trying to show off how strong he was by trying to stop a table saw blade with his hand. Tore up his hand. Ever since that instance, the shop teacher is the only one allowed to run the table saw.
@@trevorgreene5059 And I thought the yoyo story was stupid. Grabbing a saw blade doesn't even compute as to how a human being that dumb made it past childhood.
Woodworking, Yoda, bright colors, and last but not least, a sense of humor!!! :) Love it :)
I love building things with strut! Its one of my go-to tools.
They make double sections of strut. Similat to how you welded the things together, ao anybody could have that added stability off the shelf with no welding needed.
You could have built the entire assembly from the struts if you had wanted to. They make attachments for all of that and there are strut nuts that make it a cake walk to bolt the entire assembly together and then you can easily take it down or modify it if you ever need to. They even have floor mounting plates like what you used to attach ypur 4x4 posts.
Super fun to watch.
Thanks! Good to know.
Exactly what I was going to say! And you could use the deeper version of the strut so you can bolt from the inside and the trolly can slide by the bolt head with clearance.
Too many tools and work for older folks. Perhaps prebuilt heavy duty storage shelves on wheels…back to back like this!
Pro Tip: It took longer to edit this video than build this cabinet. Great job on both!
Thank you for sharing. Nice build. The bloopers were par excellante! Throwing in the "clearly a two person job" was a nod to all of us who understood the ladder set up at first glance. I am a girl builder and my hubby is the camera man. P. S. Nice weld, there's a learning curve.
I would never do this. But watched the entire video because it was entertaining and educational.
I need this for books. Home library here I come.
I worked in hospital where they kept medical records in system similar to this. I had often thought how nice it would be to have my library in one. Now, it just might possible.
I like that idea!
Exactly 👍
I'm 72 and I wish I had a man or son -- or woman or daughter or anyone -- to make this for me! Great job! 👍
It's not that great, you need to slide them everytime you need a simple tool and remember in which rack they are.
Just fill a wall with all your stuff and done, costs nothing and you can see all the tools, if you want them hidden, use a sliding carpet, lol. Costs 50$ instead of 1500$
Could the hanging shelves be 2 sided? Then you could have fewer to move around but the same amount of storage
Thank you cheap Chinese stuff
@@crocop2o12you apparently missed the point this is storage not a work bench or common use tool wall. It takes tons of shelves and compacts them into a tidy collapsible area. And you’ve obviously never been to a library because they use a very similar system usually for their stacks and research materials that aren’t used as often. Just look up library stacks.
Trust in yourself, You can do it.
How many of you saw the trunk monkey? Good build. only recommendation is the center shelves can be 2 sided.
Those rails and trollies have so many different applications! Plus, not having the casters frees up a little space underneath if you ever need it for material or something. Fantastic work and really appreciate the cost breakdown as well! You're killing it!
During college, I used to work summers in a saw mill. They had a 24" pendulum (swing) saw which was terrifying as it was belt driven and the off switch was a couple of steps away. The guy who normally worked it has one bicep twice the size of the other, and a slip up could launch the saw blade at your chest, so you had to respect that saw. The radial arm saw I used had a rotating head and I would rotate it 90 degrees and run a gang blade to rip boards into 1" stakes for mine surveyors to use - The push stick was a broom. Amazingly I still have all my fingers!
That combo of storage space and organization potential hits so hard.
Have to say, Haxmeister...damned impressive! As an old time maintenance electrician, love that you used one of the best inventions ever, the conduit rack and trolley system! Well done, young man! Very well done! Always look forward to seeing what's happening in Hax-Land with you, your lovely wife and all the young Hax-Ladies. Keep the good times rolling! Take care, be safe and God bless!
Thank you very much Jim!
You forgot the gorilla!
I like the color coded shelves idea in the comments. I would also make labels to put on magnets, of what is on each shelf, onto a small steel plate on the visible side of the shelf. When you move a tool, move the magnet/label to the shelf.
hope you didn't get sick after welding the strut to the tube. Welding galvanized metal requires good ventilation to prevent breathing in the vaporized zinc. It will make you feel terrible for a few days. Project looks great though. I'll be building something similar in the future.
If you do get sick, make sure to drink a lot of milk.
you should also save money by getting the green painted version over the galvanized
I still have my dad’s craftsman radial arm saw. It is connected to 240V, and NEVER stalls like that.
Years ago I built 'stacks' at my flat, using barn door hanger fittings to turn Spur Steel-Lok uprights and bookend shelf supports into sliding shelves. Not as sturdy as this, but worked well for the space I had, and almost doubled the accessible storage I had for books.
I now use that barn door hanger in my current garage to support hanging storage chains, in front of my main storage units, so I can just slide things out of the way and easily get to the units behind them. Again, it's made so much of my overflowing storage accessible again, getting stuff up, off the floor and out of the way of the shelves they were previously blocking.
When you've got one hand on the saw and the other on the wood, your nose suddenly becomes very useful.
Put a red mushroom kill switch you hit with your forehead.
Could probably relocate or add a kill switch that could be activated with a knee or foot.
A foot pedal seems more safe but bopping a button with your forehead sounds more fun. Perhaps have both. Also, use a switch in the pedal that requires it be depressed to engage.
30 seconds in, I had to press the Like button. Storage will always be (for a lot of us DIYers and semi-pros) the sinews of the war.
I'm really glad I clicked the video! In the thumbnail for a bit I almost didn't because I was thinking there's no way I could ever build anything like that, not gonna bother.... But you actually came up with something awesome and do-able!
For the Radial Arm Saw safety wise I recommend rigging up a Foot Pedal On/Off Master Switch.
Like a speed pedal on a sewing machine then your hands are free to do with what you want.
We've rigged in foot pedal switches on radial arm saws, table saws and on drill presses in our shop before.
The Levrack system is hard to beat in a professional setting but on the flip side the design is so awesome/easy to replicate for home/personal use at a smaller scale.
Awesome, I'm stealing this in the future. Only critique? Add rubber bumpers so you don't mar the paint job between the racks.
3:05 You definitely want to go a little smaller as the friction of forcing the woods fibers apart is part of why lags hold so well. 😊
I imagine the compressed wood might add a little tensile strength as well.
For thick pieces of wood, the ‘slightly smaller’ pre-drill for screws is great… Not so much for smaller pieces, and/or where there is a potential for the wood to split along the grain. Very apparent when repurposing pallet wood.
no evidence of this, and
the fastener mfrs don't recommend it.
Put a foot paddle switch on the power cord. This will enable you to cut the power without using your hands. Helpful for lots of tools.
I actually built my own Levrack-clone last fall! Mine is painted mint green. I was able to find 12ft 7k-lbs pallet rack beams and 2 uprights on Facebook Marketplace for around $200! Built the cabinets from birch plywood and used flat steel, angle steel, and nylon caster wheels to build the trolleys that hold the cabinets. Those channels you used would have been a lot easier! Thanks for the video!
Love the rollercoaster of emotions. Damaging the ceiling, probably feeling stupid and thinking "oops'' to your wife, then trolling her a bit later, already knowing there was a victory there, followed up with a clear sigh of relief and achievement. Makes me feel like I could do it myself.
So a library book archive shelf unit. Nice.
What a great storage idea. I’m always improving my garage/Man Cave and would love this in there.
I just love your show you make me laugh all the time. Your wife is a very lucky women she has a man that works very hard for his family. I really like that idea! God bless you all.
Thank you! I’m going to go tell her you said that right now. 😂
That looks really great! Would be a good addition to my shop, so I'll definitely keep it in mind. The only two things I would add are: another 1x2 across some of the shelves to keep smaller stuff from falling out. You may open them slowly, but will your kids? And some handles on the outside to be able to move the shelves without the risk of pinching fingers.
...pinching fingers or, smearing the cool paint job!
Best youtube channel for men and fathers hands down ❤
Thank you very much! That means a lot to me.
It does seem entirely nonghey for sures ...
I would mount the first aid kit on the outside of the cabinet. When you need it you don't have the time to look for it.
Great build.
This build was awesome! 🤩 It could even serve for different things depending on dimensions. A pantry or a closet would be great. If you're creative, you could have something like that in a bedroom as the base of a loft bed and use two fixed units on the ends and set one side up as a desk/work area with the shelf immediately behind one end as a bookcase and file cabinet. The two on the opposite end could be a dresser/shelf plus hanging closet storage. Then any extras in the middle would be general storage. Perfect, compact solution for a studio apartment, tiny home, small bedroom or perhaps a shared kids room. So many possibilities! 😁👍
10:18 When lifting something that's too heavy for your ladder, you should put one end on the structure 1st. We do it all the time with garage headers.😊
WOW I wish I could make one or more of these. These would work for a pantry or tool organizer or sewing room storage and the list goes on and on. Awesome!!
You could use overhead track for a gate for this too. It is substantially larger than uni-strut and uses larger bearings and trolley. It is also bare steel, so it can be welded without the galvanization needing to be removed. It might be cheaper too. I’ve used it to build a roll out system for a heavy bag. Super cool build.
This would be an awesome student room storage solution. It can be used for books, DVDs, CDs, clothes etc. Nice job. I need to take notes for when I want to build my own.
It looks amazing, what I would like to add is a 1~2" spacer between the cabinets to prevent the inevitable finger crush and to make them easier to open even with gloves
1300 is still pricey but this one seems worth it. This may be my favorite one of your projects.
Like a book/tape vault shelf, smart.
I think angle grinders are an underrated danger
Came here by way of a random algorithm suggestion. Did not disappoint. :-)
Great use of the drone to get overhead shot.
And yes, team work make the dream work.
Brilliant idea! I've been looking at making something along that line, but couldn't decide on suitable hardware. That channel with trolleys is a game changer. An idea I came up with for small spaces: the structure could straddle a doorway so that no wall space is wasted for the access. The cabinets facing the doorway gap could hold stuff that would be needed for outdoors. The cabinets could also be hanging in front of the door when you want to provide extra security against intruders.
Whoa you could actually use the conduit and trolleys to make a barn style door too! I wonder if they make conduit that also curves so that your door could recess against weater stripping.
@@AttemptMade interesting idea. I've seen old-fashioned metal curtain tracks here in the UK, shaped like miniature I-beams, which are bent into a very slight double curve near the end so that curtains can overlap in the middle. Funny enough, those types of rails use little roller hooks that are in principle very similar to the trolleys shown here, except they straddle the single beam. I've considered using them for moving light containers. I'll have to re-examine that idea.
You know that you're building a filing cabinet system that's in every doctors office. 😊
Exactly!
These wouldn't make very good systems for a doctors office, they would weigh too much, I build storage systems for a living on a massive scale and they all run on tracks in the floor so they can take the weight, if your interested in looking then check out Bruynzeel storage systems.
*was. Nobody uses those today.
@@mediocreman2yep, everything is digital now. The only paper files are old hard copies
@@mediocreman2they still use this system to store equipment and supplies in some respiratory therapy departments in hospitals.
Some libraries also use shelves like these for books.📚
It’s amazing what you can cook in cast iron. One pot king!! Nice video.
I have never seen this system, but a few years ago, I thought up pretty much this exact concept myself. I have been wanting to build something like it and your video gives some great pointers if I ever do decide to make such a thing. I'm not a woodworker and don't have the tools to make one, btw. But I'm good at figuring out stuff.
One change I might make would be to make less sliding shelves but making them wider and put the backing in the middle of the shelf, thus making each sliding shelf double as two (shelves on the front and back).
Great job and I love the vibrant colors.
We had the same idea! I need to make hangin trolly system.. however definitely clean off the galvanized coating before you weld.. sweet build tho! Glad to have found the channel
Yeah zinc fumes are no bueno.
@@BenNawrath def not my friend
the channel can be bought painted rather than galvanized. But your warning should be heeded.
excellent video as usual! if you wanted to forego the welding all together, you could always make the cabinets longer and get some rigid fixed non-swivel casters to put on the bottom and then just connect that top rail to another 4x4 wood post instead of welding. although then you wouldn't get to play with a welder :P
I learned woodworking on a radial arm saw and using a table saw the first few times were major pucker factor
Absolutely been looking for something like this for my garage and sports equipment. You did an excellent job and thank you for posting such a well done video. Even RUclips did thier job by bringing this up on my feed.
I have been listing over that rack system for a long time now, but I can not justify the price of it. I really like how it works and stores stuff, but again, price. Then you came along and totally found a budget DIY solution for something that works basically the same. The one change you made.....it's completely customizable to what you want. Thank you, sir! You're awesome and have earned yourself a new follower
Thank you!
I didn't know I needed this for my shop, but now I do. Going to borrow your idea and make several changes to make it work for me.
I have been using a radial arm saw for over 30years . It has been my dado cutter, planer, sander, table saw, miter saw, pin router, etc. lots of accessories for it on eBay. One thing you might try on dado cuts is bring blade out and lock it, slide board in behind blade, clamp board, start, then push blade towards rear. This always puts pressure against fence and helps keep blade from grabbing and trying to move forward and bind (as you demonstrated). Also, adding t-slot channel to saw table for clamping is a very good idea(especially if you take the time to use the clamps which I always do). Hold down clamps for radial saws are available on eBay. And lastly(saw this on another RUclips channel) have a tourniquet at every saw. Great video btw.
I got rid of my dads ole craftsman radial arm saw for just that reason! You're right about the pucker factor! Great vid.
Very exciting to see a new Haxman video release when battling insomnia at 1 am! As always great work 👍🏼
Thanks! Sweet dreams

A DIY compactus, the dream is real...
It’s a great project, I would make one change, the front of those moving cabinets on the shelves, I would put like a 2 to 3 inch lip just so that when you slide them back-and-forth nothing can roll off and fall on the floor
Just sent this to my husband. Our garage has been in need of a good storage space and organization for a looong time. Thank you for sharing this!
Awesome! Thanks

@@DavidLee-cw6ci 🤣
@@RedWolfRun careful what you ask for though, don't be surprised if he tells you ok but he'll need to buy $4000 worth of tools to build it!
And, if you like it, why not give making it a try on your own?
I grew up with, and still own, my father’s under powered 1950 Dewalt radial arm saw. Table saws scare me much more. If the saw stalls, push the trolly back to the start and try again - but more slooowly. Keep your fingers out of the blade path and you should be safe especially if you never do a rip cut, which can only be safe if you push the material so the blade is NOT climbing - opposite of the rip.
We have the same system is restaurants since forever. Good of you to catch up.
I have been searching for this video for months trying to figure out the best way of building exactly this piece! Nice work. Subscribed!
Thanks!
Ah, the old compactus. it's been around for generations but mostly used in the commercial/corporate environment.
Oh my, this will be shared with two men who need to see this!
Love this idea for crafts too!❤️
This was my first time watching your channel.I am now subscribed.You are a triple threat.Fun educational and funny
Canadian eh! Your colours are fantastic! And the rolling storage video is amazing!
I find that your communication and explanation is perfect for me! I like that you explain the tool, use, and process!
I want this garage and your videos make me feel that l can do it myself!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Yes, is Canadian love Robbie’s!
Ah yes, Ye Olde Radial Harm Saw
Classic!!!!
I saw what you did there!
That would make an amazing bookcase for someone who has a lot of books and not a lot of room... like me.
Most Excellent Idea!
I need this for the library
great job it looks super solid, I do have a couple of suggestions, firstly put small whiteboards on the outside of each cabinet so you can label what's in there, second would have been to color each shelf different so that you get a visual guide to what's in each draw, things like "oh, all the saws and saw accessories are in the in the red shelf" etc.
Yeah they're giving radial arm saws away on Facebook marketplace.
Incidentally, pallet racks are popping up pretty cheap too, but I think the 4x4s look better.
Loved your impersonations of Dana-Carvey-as-George-H.W.-Bush, and James Cromwelll from Babe!
I especially appreciate that you show all the times you drop or fumble something, bc that's the kind of tool handling I do. So, it's helpful to see how you prevented your saw from cutting your hand off through careful, deliberate movements, or how items hold up to falling, or other recoveries from oopsies. ;)
HAH hah haaaaaa..... Someone just referenced, "Drawn Together." 🤣
Just for that... I HAD TO SUBSCRIBE!
HOA's are something that should not even be legally allowed.
You have room for stuff on top of the shelves, too! Toss some milk crates up there for some extra storage!
I work with 8020 aluminium extrusion which has linear slides and a tonne of stuff like the strut channel. Keep it in mind if youu are doing smaller projects where you want lego style production rather than welding and whatnot :).
@Haxman you could add a foot switch to the radial arm saw then use the saw switch as an extra safety switch so you don't step on the foot switch accidentally.
Or a smart plug and voice activated switch
for some reason, I want a hamburger now. ;)
I hugged this video. So much appreciation, We NEED this in our basement. Thanks,!
I love lime green contrast to the gray. I had a similar need I ended up going with a bunch of wire shelves on wheels
Just Wow. Your vision and problem solving. The best storage system made affordable. Brilliant Job.
Clamp that wood and always go half depth first. Cool system
My dad was a carpenter/cabinet maker and he had one of those radial arm saws and they are some scary stuff.
I've had the same experience with the dado head, ripping and crosscutting. Scary. I believe way back Crapsman either provided or sold an attachment that provided "braking" to the carriage to prevent that sort of thing. Sasquatch watching through window.... Once again super idea!
Pretty cool. This type of system is commonly used in offices and schools. I was in the stock room at the school I teach at and thought a storage system like this would be pure gold in a shop. The one at my site was built in the late 50s. The six double sided shelf sections are 2 feet wide about 20 feet deep, 8 feet tall, all hard wood with adjustable shelves. They are supported by an overhead track, and two tracks set into the foundation which look like railroad track. They roll smooth as butter because back in the day, things were well built. The linear shelf space is insane.
That rocks!!! I went the other route. I bought a bunch of metal shelves from Costco and use them as pull out drawer type storage. It’s a lot messier but a lot cheaper and easier. I’ve only broken one shelf system by overloading it.
10:18 Consertes have got to be the best fasteners ever.😊
Adam, you're an endless fountain of cool ideas. If I build this I might go with something like barn door hangers on each side of each cabinet (maybe something that can take more load) and nice chonky wood beams up top and on the mid/bottom rear.
For the radial at saw... Make a foot pedal switch. I use a 2 outlet steel box with a 125vac rated switch that powers a high amp relay. The output from the relay goes to an outlet mounted in a single outlet box mounted to the dual outlet box.
Radial arm saws are great if you use them correctly. With some cuts safer than a table saw. Love my 12 inch, has lots of power. I have used mine for ripping and have had no problem. Paid $75 with a real nice Forest blade on it. My wife saw this video and wants me to build one. Thanks for sharing.
I have used my local highschool's welding class to help me with projects. They got practice and I got my project done.
Rolling aisle storage was being done with filing cabinets in the 1970s. All it took was rollers bolted under the cabinets.
I’m glad to see you using hearing protection even when hammering. There is no return from Tinnitus.
This was a really nice build.
