The SECRET to ELIMINATE LITTLE BLACK ANTS with EASE

[zqpjjoj]

This is the same way they hang the garage door rails. If it works to hold up a 400lbs+ garage door, No problem for a simple shelf. Nice job..:)

[AllTheNamesWereInUse]

Using EMT this way is genius! Thank you!

[BreadOnDeckk]

My garage ain’t high enough for this, but I still dig the whole design, awesome video man ❤

[frankbullitt]

Slick idea. Love your vice and band saw

[paolobomben]

What a great design. I'm curious why you used lag bolts at the two EMT connections to the 2x3. Are those lag screws intended for load bearing? Are those connections load bearing? Could you use regular woods screws at the bottom?

[hembilkhu]

Nice job i would just use the angle iron for hangers instead of pipes less work and they are adjustable with holes in them.

[lukehershey]

A grinder with a cutting wheel can also cut the angle iron. Can get both at harbor freight for under $20.

great idea! Thanks for sharing! Looks like I will be buying a hand held pipe cutter. Feel like you don't waste near as much storage space as you would hanging with all wood. Plus it is just a cleaner look overall.

Congrats!
Looks really good and you have used some good imagination!
Many thanks for sharing.
All the best,

This is awesome man! Great engineering!

[percywilliams]

Thanks for posting, I was looking for something like this to use in my garage.

[pmspear]

Great video Bruce! Inspiring! You make it look easy!

[ChiefDirtyBird]

Would this suffice in a single car garage, would like to build ot over my workbench. 9feet wide perhaps 3 or 4 feet deep, able to mount into the 2 side and back walls, then awesome metal hangers for front. Is my desired build after seeing this video

[ParksBilly]

This is a great idea!!!! I'm planning to do some of this in my garage/shop. I have a question though, how far apart are you mounting those brackets that support the conduit? 2 joist lengths apart?

[danr]

Hmm... I do not have the tools for cutting and pressing the tubes. This project seems more labor intensive. I like the idea of using a metal rod coming down from the ceiling. I'm considering using 1/2" threaded rods with 3x2's.

[larrykennard]

Could metal strapping be used as effectively as the metal pipe?

[dariuslavy]

I have used the same method in the past for hanging rods. But when I moved into my current home, they have a similar shelf, but with chains. I thought the chain method was expensive way to do it.

[javvydelarosa]

Great video, but you need a lot of equipment to purchase for just this project!

The unresolved issue in all of these types of installations is the connection being made to the ceiling rafter. In this case, the installer refers to them as trusses. If in fact, it is a roof truss then the bottom cord of the truss is not typically designed for any additional weight to be applied and therefore may not be able to carry the loads imposed by the shelving system being attached to it. I would caution anyone to consult with a knowledgeable person regarding the ability of the ceiling rafter to carry the load to be imposed by each connection.
