very well explain simple. others don't even explain nothing all they show is themselves working with no explanation. thank you buddy.

If you were REALLY planning on putting heavy things on these shelves, I'd probably add a jack stud next to each leg directly under the shelf so it isn't only a few construction screws holding up the entire weight of the shelf.

This was the best detailed video!! Thank you sir!! I’m a lady and actually took notes and built my own! I’m so happy!! 😆❤

I've been watching DIY wood/woodworking video for months now and this is the first time I see your video on my feed- also I don't comment on videos I watch but I need to do it this time. I really liked your video and will definitely watch more from your channel. Great visuals, plans, and instructions- Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I love short video but you added all the important information and the drawings for illustration

Somethings to think about. The three shelve assembly weighs 165 pounds (75kg), so two people (preferrably three people) are needed to raise it off the garage floor . Also, a 50 inch wood clamp is essential, you cannot hold the wood with your hand. Third, when building shelve box complete both ends first, square it and then complete three inner legs. Fourth, carefully cut four legs to same length (within 1/8 inch), then carefully assure first two legs are parallel, then next two legs are parallel. Fifth, safety attachment to a wall stud is essential, but screwing through box (1.5 inches), through empty space (1.5 - 2.5 inches), through sheet rock (5/8 inch) to reach a wood stud is about 4.5 inches. The longest wood screw at Home Depot is a #10 by 4 inches which makes me question if you will get threads into the wall stud. I suggest solid attaching remnant wood to wall stud and then wood screw attach shelve to remnant two by four.

This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[TheGreybush]

You definitely should have more views. Excellent walk through

Great Build, great narrative. Thanks for sharing. 👍

The video is well made and inspired me to do this project, but I can't help but feel like the error on the amount of wood needed is on purpose. Edits can be inserted into the video to fix the mistake but instead the comments just point you to buying the plans because that's where the correct information is. I would not buy the plans to a build in the hope that they will be accurate if the YouTube video makes such a terrible math error. The amount of 2x4's are off by almost double, increasing the cost of the build significantly.

Great job and awesome video ; very good explaining everything in details this is the best DIY shelves videos I've ever seen!! Thank you
they're delivering and building a Shed / Kit on my back of my house But I'm gonna need shelves like these
if you can advise me ? my shed will be 10' x 20 is pretty good size and is slopes up to 10'- ft tall how can I build shelves almost all the way to the ceiling taking advantage of all the space .
do you have the plans for these video? and any other video about these kinda ceiling I have ; let me know thank you so much.. Greetings to you & your family from S. A. Texas

[KevinReed-zfmc]

This an awesome project, I built it yesterday, but you definitely need more wood the video shows, other than that very cost effective.. only paid $90 for materials and it helped so much cleaning my garage up

[geolisadrag-racing]

i'd like 2 c videos, done like this, 4 some of your other plans. thanks👍

What software were you using to build the plans?

[XY-fxyl]

Id build out from the wall studs. You can make sure the shelves are level as the floor most likely isnt

[Nick_R_]

Board cutting used to be done in some British stores, the equivalent of Home Depot. But not anymore.

[CaviteBoy]

So we need more than 12 2X4s right? For the legs and the 21 inchs connectors. If im not mistaken

[levihansen]

Great video, I'm going to follow this. By the way, your 2x4 count is way off. You need 12 just for the sides. Not including the braces or the legs

This is really nice, well done. What software do you use for planning things out?
