Project build article: ibuildit.ca/projects/how-to-make-a-simple-lumber-rack/ I wanted to make this quickly from scrap material to store the lumber that was in my shed. It's the most basic design, but still strong enough for the job. As for how strong, I can't hang from a single support arm, but then a single arm will never have that much weight loaded on it. The weight on any rack with multiple supports is spread out over those supports, so you'd have to really pile on a lot to reach the point where it may fail. The glued and screwed joint between the arms and the upright cleats is surprisingly strong.

I like it's simplicity! Loved the tapering jig! I truly believe that shop projects like that should be fast, easy and practical! This one is pretty too!
Nice simple rack John! I have something similar and the board I want is always on the bottom of a stack. Next time I'm going to make a lot more supports for fewer boards per stack, even though it will reduce the capacity some. I just stored 180 lbs of vinyl records on the wall and it's amazing how strong just drywall screws are.
You bucking feauty! I have been looking for ways to store my lumber, but was too scared that the build would not be strong enough. Your build here gave me the confidence I *most sorely* needed. Thank you John! Thank you very very much 😉👍
I love it! Simple and does what it’s supposed to do. I’ve been meaning to make some of these but been putting it off cause the one’s I’ve been seeing around aren’t very simple lol. Anyways I just discovered your channel this morning so I’m definitely looking forward to binge watch your videos!
Nice rack! LOL. Dipping your drill bit in the screw box reminded me of when I was apprenticing back in the late '90s. Worked with a real prick. We were installing drywall, I was the gopher of course. He hollered for a handful of screws, demanded that I grab a big two-hand scoop out of the box and bring it over to him. Went to drop them in his hands and he pulled away and slapped my hands together. If he wasn't ex-military...From then on, people got their own damn screws lol.
John, I just wanted to say hello from Glasgow, Scotland. Your videos are great fun to watch and I’m going to have a go at making some of the plywood doors you’ve made in another video Keep up the good work 😄
*JUST WHEN I SWORE I WOULD NEVER WATCH ANOTHER LUMBER RACK VIDEO* .... you come out with this little gem. Very nice work, simple, functional. Now when is the new clamp rack video coming out ;-)?
To the contrary, I was one of those scared people that needed to build something that could probably support a truck, before I would dare store all my lumber on it. In this video, John proved to (and reminded) me that weight dispersal is a major factor to consider when building anything that bears any weight. Something I initially had not. Again, thank you John.
Great Project as usual. One Comment though. From bitter experience once you start working with metal in that shed the metal dust will get everywhere, especially if you use an abrasive saw. It can stain the wood and get transferred to your other tools. Might suggest using a tarp or something similar to cover the wood. Oh by the way you forgot one good thing about the heat...... one more excuse to indulge in a barley flavoured beverage or six. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the hard work.
John, glad you made the decision to renovate. Now that you’ve done the metal working shop renovation, will you be connecting it to the other shop? Perhaps the “gangway” connection could include enough space to store your lawn equipment?
Just wondering why the bottom two rows have arms at declining angle? Good details in build article. Nice taper cutting jig ! Impressively straight band saw cuts too ...
Did you attach them to studs or do you think they will hold just to the Sheetrock? I’m not questioning your knowledge, just curious if you have done that in the past and it actually hold up. Love the quick and dirty tapering jig.
Hi, I'm a complete beginner here but... isn't it dangerous to use a table saw with no riving knife and standing right behind the blade? I'm asking because I only have a circular saw and was thinking of building a table for it to use as a table saw, but I'm afraid that it could be dangerous to use since I see that all pro modern table saws have a riving knife.
Hi John always a pleasure watching you work. Is your bit holder on the drill for philips posidrive or robertson(sorry if i didn’t spell correctly)? The magnet seems to be really strong and sturdy. Thanks!
Trinity Too - ? I didn't say anything about screwing it into the studs. The walls in the shed are not drywall, they are 1/2" particle board and I screwed the brackets directly to that.
No quadruple finger jointing and quintuple mortise and tenon joints? It will probably fail after only a few thousand pounds of wood are stacked on it. I guess if you like it though that’s all that matters.
This is way too weak! You should set up the pantorouter and use mortise and tenon joints! Or maybe this is just good enough - to be honest, Matthias' lumber rack looks a bit bigger, and might need the extra strength, so to each application their own solution. There's a great balance between you two :)

John Heisz - I Build It I looked at several different designs and I think your is the most efficient and effective. Nice.
I love those metal spiral double tennons you used to keep the arms in place.
I like it's simplicity! Loved the tapering jig! I truly believe that shop projects like that should be fast, easy and practical! This one is pretty too!
Scrap wood City I agree, quick and fun. . I think they can also be good skill building projects, so you don’t have to worry as much about screwing up.
Tapering jig and push block combined: solid gold.
That jig was Schweeet! Leave it to JH to come up with the ideas where you go "Why didn't I think of that?"
that magnetic screw trick is great (3:43) because those screws are sharp nice built
You always make it look so easy. Im still struggeling to make 2 of the same cuts.
It's nice to see that it works without being enormously over engineered and strong. So much simpler
This is just the kick in the ass I needed to get a rack built - easily have more than enough offcuts and scrap to do it.
I just keep watching this! Such simplicity! Such beauty! Such functionality! Much such! Very wow!
Nice simple rack John! I have something similar and the board I want is always on the bottom of a stack.

Nicely done, one can never have too much storage. Thanks for the video.
Ahh, that feels so much better. Been too long and I *really* needed my John Heisz video fix! Oh, yeah, nice, simple lumber rack too!

Sounds like a fun guy to work for :)
James Biggar The only
Sounds like the kind of guy who should get to his car before it gets dark out...
Super simple. Just what I need!
Sweet, simple and to the point! Came out great John
The shed is looking REALLY good ...
Quick, concise, informative and too the point.
Nice work John!
I need to get my lumber up on a rack. I’ll be building exactly this. Thanks, much appreciated.
Perfect timing! Going to make a mini version of this for my little sign shop. Thank you, John :)
Quite a transformation of your shed, looks great
After making these scrap wood shelves, I just realised how much off cuts I had kicking around on the floor. Nice one big man.
I like it, nice and simple and not over-engineered!
It's not engineered at all. Did not see calculations.
John, I just wanted to say hello from Glasgow, Scotland. Your videos are great fun to watch and I’m going to have a go at making some of the plywood doors you’ve made in another video
Keep up the good work 😄
*JUST WHEN I SWORE I WOULD NEVER WATCH ANOTHER LUMBER RACK VIDEO* .... you come out with this little gem. Very nice work, simple, functional. Now when is the new clamp rack video coming out ;-)?
Cool build John,thanks as always.
Nice, John. So simple. Thanks for sharing. I’m heading out to the garage to do this right now.
That taper jig was cool.
Great job John! Always excited to see what you got going on.
love the quick simple video and will be making these
I like the first person footage:)
Buena idea!! Ojala hicieras tus videos en español. Todos son fabulosos!! Saludos desde Mexico....😊😊👋👋
Yes! Exactly what I was looking for, Thanks John.
Why did you attach them to the wall with only drywall screws? Is that enough strength for all the lumber?
You have the best placed outro music.
Good idea, Wish I had a whole wall for lumber. Mine has to say up high.
Looks good and functional, nice job!
Great work on the wood rack 😎👍
That turned out very nice John! Thanks for sharing the video.😎👍JP
Always the best stuff.
Nice job! No mortises and tenons needed here. I'll bet some people will whine it's not strong enough.
:)

In this video, John proved to (and reminded) me that weight dispersal is a major factor to consider when building anything that bears any weight. Something I initially had not.
Again, thank you John.
I love what you make! I also want to make it.
3:27 To an arbitrary angle, that is perfectly straight. Works for me! :)
Great Project as usual. One Comment though. From bitter experience once you start working with metal in that shed the metal dust will get everywhere, especially if you use an abrasive saw. It can stain the wood and get transferred to your other tools. Might suggest using a tarp or something similar to cover the wood.

Keep up the good work and thanks for all the hard work.
That is just perfect. I expect to see some comments on how weak that is, but I see it plenty strong. Good job John!
Its clearly photoshoped!! Such weak construction can never hold that much lumber!!!
Your second shop is look good, you should be in there working on something soon
John, glad you made the decision to renovate. Now that you’ve done the metal working shop renovation, will you be connecting it to the other shop? Perhaps the “gangway” connection could include enough space to store your lawn equipment?
A good technique. I just used it to wang out a bunch of shop shelves. All scrap, nothing had to be bought. Yay.
Love the technique
Nice one John 👍
Im totally on the Shed-Hype-Train! ChooChooooo!
Is the wall plywood, or were you putting them right into the drywall?
Nice and simple
Cool video friend. This gave me a good idea for my garage :)
I've been needing a new lumber storage system for a long time. I also need the ambition to build it, lol.
Lookin good.
Good Stuff 💯🎯
Nice made
Looks good.
Simple and effective👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great info! Thanks
Dig the outro music!
Just wondering why the bottom two rows have arms at declining angle? Good details in build article. Nice taper cutting jig ! Impressively straight band saw cuts too ...
will the wood be affected by sparks or metal dust?
Did you attach them to studs or do you think they will hold just to the Sheetrock? I’m not questioning your knowledge, just curious if you have done that in the past and it actually hold up.
Love the quick and dirty tapering jig.
It's not sheetrock.

John, the order you are creating is changing your world. What spray gun do you use? Need one and don't want to under/over buy. Thanks
Looks like your spray gun is a 3M Accuspray.
Hi John always a pleasure watching you work. Is your bit holder on the drill for philips posidrive or robertson(sorry if i didn’t spell correctly)? The magnet seems to be really strong and sturdy. Thanks!
John me gusta el vídeo pero me puede decir quien hace esa musica por favor
Just wondering....why keep lumber in the metal working area? Aren't you very limited on space already?
What's going on with the-heisz-wandel-project?
Did I miss the video of finishing the shed walls?
Coming soon.
Cool but can Mattias hang all his weight on one?
"Quick and dirty tapering jig", brilliant. I get so annoyed with myself for not thinking of it.
You make it look too easy!!! Why does everyone else make it so complicated?
Just wondering if you tried to screw into the joists or just the drywall. Would that be strong enough?
Trinity Too - ?
I didn't say anything about screwing it into the studs. The walls in the shed are not drywall, they are 1/2" particle board and I screwed the brackets directly to that.
So, did it fall off in 4 years?
Hard to believe that 2 screws with some construction glue does the trick. Shows me how overengineered most racks are!
The fool I am, I thought you're working on the intermediate table saw ;)
I wouldn't stand under this if I were you
Do you try to hold your head more stable with the mouth shots or are you stabilizing in POST? It's pretty non-shaky, which is impressive.
The camera has exceptional stabilization, despite what all the moaners think when I use it selfie style.
Plywood walls!?
You could use mortise and tenons for your lumber rack, but that would be totally overkill and stupid to do, right? ;)
It wouldn't be stupid, just unnecessary for purpose. I have better things to do other than making an heirloom furniture grade lumber rack :)
No quadruple finger jointing and quintuple mortise and tenon joints? It will probably fail after only a few thousand pounds of wood are stacked on it. I guess if you like it though that’s all that matters.
👍
shed looks smaller...with the walls finished. Well, I suppose it actually is smaller.
mortise and tenon would have been stronger. should have used the pantorouter.
Be sure to save some room for a metal rack. This is going to be a metal working shed after all.
👍👊
But can it support the weight of a small Canadian man named Matthias?
Quick and dirty. Well, a little dirty.
This is way too weak! You should set up the pantorouter and use mortise and tenon joints!
Or maybe this is just good enough - to be honest, Matthias' lumber rack looks a bit bigger, and might need the extra strength, so to each application their own solution. There's a great balance between you two :)
He said rack
2 самореза и клей ,ненадежно ((
Not strong enough? I could probably Wandel-jump-test that lumber rack with my 300+ lbs ass... Ok, maybe that's pushing it...
Turned some. Ugly. Recalaimed lumber into. A good looking. Lumber rack ! The paint and color really makes it look. Good
Now I know why some comments are lacking in punctuation. You used it all up.
Stealing that idea, thanks.
