After almost a year of this build, the sliding walls have worked very well. We’re planning to add some more, but also want to add some more unistrut with trolly sliders on the ceiling for quick tool access…we’re open to any other suggestions 🤔🤔🤔

A little pro tip for you. I noticed when you went into your drill set. You tried to measure up the bolt with the drill bit. If you actually look inside the set, each drill bit inside the case has a hole drilled into the actual case. That's where you size up your bolt to your bit.

You never realize how many tools you have until you try to organize them. Then you discover that you need 4x more space than you estimated. That's why so many of us have 18 different tool chests all over the place.

Uni-strut is truly one of God's greatest creations. There's so much you can do with it.

Having a helper gets a big 😊, biggest plus is someone to look and say "that ain't gonna work"!

The hole in the side of the hangers is designed to put a 3/8” bolt through. That will clamp down on the strut and prevent any teeter-tottering. That same bolt is very important in higher weight usage because it also helps keep the open section of the channel from splaying out causing the roller to come out of the channel and resulting in a bad day. 😮
Looks good, I’m sure you’ve been enjoying the tool organization and extra space. Fun project! Nice to see you doing it together!

If you use pan head or any type of bolt/screw with a low profile head, you can bolt/screw the unistrut straight to ceiling without the need for the unistrut holder. That in turn helps the entire system to not hang so low, unless you need to make some space up like in the case where the doors are too short or something like that. I've used unistrut a lot in my career, but never thought it could be used like this, very cool idea and project.

Finally, someone else who has the same green Hitachi grinder that I have. Out of all of the grinders I have owned and burnt out within months, that Hitachi is grinder is the only one that I have ever owned that still is going strong. Have ground through hundreds of grinding wheels, sanding pads, wire wheels, etc.

I use a similar strut trolley to run a chain hoist on. It's great for lifting heavy load out of the back of my truck.

I like this a lot. I'd been thinking about a mega-story book style configuration, but this saves you the monster hinge pivots and the space to swing the "pages.". Unless I get a better brainstorm on monster hinges I may opt for something just like this. Nice work and thanks for sharing!

[artmarquez]

Awesome use of space and great tips. Thanks

This is a creative idea for a great tool that has many uses like sliding interior/exterior door or like a solid curtain for large glass walls..etc i like it, very simple and very durable. Great video i hope sharing more videos with creative ideas like this with this tool and other tools.

This video...is so great. And I came across this at the perfect time.

I have a shop that is still a shell... essentially a car-and-a-half Tuff Shed garage with exposed studs. I chuckled early in the video because in a couple of weeks I too will be looking at a lot of "R13" splash!

I'm already pricing out materials to add this system to my shop

I planned on using French cleats to organize my walls. Pretty sure I'll add that to these sliding walls.

Love your Datsun shirt.

I was inspired by a similar system many years ago and my end result was a little different. MY next iteration will be more fixed with strut, too. Rather than move parallel to the wall, the panels are perpendicular to the wall, with the panels pulled out towards you. The spacing between the panels was initially adjustable, and the beauty of the method is that it lets you use both sides of the panels, not one. It also let me "nest" collections of items so that on one side, things can reach almost to the other panel, while repeating on the other side at a different height. You do need to be able to manage tool swing; if pulled too quickly things might want to come off the hook or other mounting method.

If you look around you can find full size metal peg boards from shop clearances for almost nothing

[imincad]

Nice job, I think I might try this in my garage!

[DrSidewayZ]

This is awesome! I found you on the FB group for creators, I really like this idea! Keep up the good work and ideas!

[CyberBobCity]

Nice work! Cool project that I think would be even more versatile with French Cleats!

[theodurbin]

Mostly use a woodworking shop here (well, a few different shops), but this concept definitely carries over. Nicely done!

[stuartkorte]

Good to see she knows where she wants her tools 😊
NOTE: drill holes in hangers to keep unistrut from teetering. Some hangers come with the holes and bolts included.
