It's rare to see such an elaborate workshop in a condo. Nice job.

I freaking loved the clearance part of the video. It had me chuckling for a bit. Nice added comedy. Great video

You can add labels to the bottom of the totes to identify them. Also maybe mounting them horizontally is good so that you can access them from either side without having to take one off to access the inner one. I wonder if they will ever come off due to the long term vibration of the door.

I would have gone with clear boxes so I could see inside them or light coloured ones as the black colour sucks the light out of the room. Maybe paint them a light colour to brighten up the room again.

Fellow Avalanche fan here, thanks for the great ideas.

Looks like you need to shim your table saw up to match the out feed table. Or sand the bottom of the legs down to match table saw height.

I would consider that a finished garage. I don't see the roof through rafters/trusses like in mine. But good system if you have that type of garage.

This is what by a hair means!! Good work and very good hook up! Thanks for it!!!

Nice video. Great idea if you have a garage. I have a carport and couldn't afford a garage when we bought our house. Also, we got shafted when we got this house, because we found out later the contractor cut corners left and right and barely followed code, but that was over 32+ years ago!

This video brings up one of my sources of anxiety, though... once you find great storage bins, they eventually discontinue that particular model. So, if you ever need more, they won't match/fit/stack/etc. UGH! Hate that!

I know tons of people do this, but just a warning to everyone out there: everyone has a different garage situation. Many homes are built to the bare minimum to pass inspection. If your garage only has a roof over it, especially one built of 2x4 prefabricated trusses, it may only be engineered to support a dead load weight of the roof itself, the strongest snowfall accumulation in your region, and 10 psf extra for hanging sheetrock.

Now, does this mean your roof is gonna collapse if you put these all over your garage's ceiling and you get hit by a blizzard? Prolly not, cuz code requires a lot of this stuff to support *more* than the worst it should see, but if you *really* put a ton of heavy stuff up there? Well, maybe keep any bins full of brake rotors on the floor. :)

Nice design! Great idea. Thanks for the video! Custom-built engineered I-joist for hanging!

Where did you get those shop lights? they look cool with that daisy chain hookup.

How's the totes holding when it's too hot weather in the garage?

Ok good use of space but I really liked your explosion animation. Nice work!

[LTRMCrew]

Nice work they look great. Do you have a link to your digital Caliper?

[Malvisk]

I have my next project that I can do while it is still winter!

Nice idea on the wooden I beam as hangers.
Couple things I learned with these storage bins:

Label each one.

They are different brands from Home Depot vs Lowes vs Costco- so pick one place and only get them from that store. Having different brands where size is slightly different and lids don’t interchange sux.

[matthewbartke]

How did that work out with the expanding and contracting of the wood with that little bit of clearance? I'd assume there would be some sag of the bins over time.

Hi there...at 6:00 or so, I was looking at the installed slides, and I was seeing 2 screwheads per location, and not just the one down the middle that I saw at 2:05...what did I miss? Great idea, and I'm looking to implement this solution in my garage as well.

Will be doing a modified version of this exact thing but under an existing shelf instead of to the ceiling. Nicely done. I like that you show the challenges (not mistakes) along the way as well. Got my Sub - Also I'm a fellow Utah Tuber as well. I'll check out some of your other vids today as well. 🙌
