Lol. Love the fact I'm not the only sad one sat here watching this first thing on a Sunday morning. 2k views in just 45 minutes ain't bad. Twenty years ago I'd be waking up on a Sunday a few hours later with a ridiculous hangover and maybe a random bird from the pub. Now it's a fresh head a cup of coffee and keen intrest in building some new shelving to better organise my garage

What better way to wake up on a Sunday morning with a coffee and the latest Proper DIY Video. Favourite channel by far. Keep it up Stuart.

Using the back frame and clamping the front frame to it to use as a template is such a simple idea but I never would have thought of doing it that way. Genius

Making the front of the unit by using the back is genius!!

[Viken]

Very impressed with your pocket hole jig ;-)

[grahammaynard]

Thanks for the inspiration and ideas. Finished my shelves yesterday and really liked the front frame assembly tip (I just about had enough clamps). I can see floor space in my garage!!

Love the way you present Stuart, totally inspirational and humorous, keep it up😀

A nice wee John Deere tractor. I used to love these things - but now I'm an EX-tractor fan!

Your attention to detail, and application of intelligence is joyful to watch. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!

[LeighWoodIT]

Very timely, I was just telling my wife I wanted to do this in one of my garages and now I know how. Thank you.

[lesbeldon]

Love your videos, even when they about things I won’t ever build with tools I don’t have, I just love your planning and presentation. Great videos and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you 👍

[thabisodube]

Love the videos each time you post what we need

[andrewsmith]

Fantastic to see almost exactly the design that I used for my garage being given the properdiy seal of approval. I even remember having to reverse my top sheet in the same way.

[MrSmith_]

Has it really been two-years already? Wow, I remember watching both videos and it was your lighting video that encouraged me to install my own lighting in the loft. Best decision I ever did because being up there now is soo much easier. I actually did exactly what you did by terminating it to a UK plug for use with a socket.

Nice job Stuart, looks solid, as you say

[garymiller]

I have got several of this design of shelves in my garage and they are so useful. Only one slight issue I found when building them (exactly as you did) is the floor needs to be level or else you have a bit of fettling to do to get them level front to back with the cross members. I loved building mine and now have no space left to build any more I am 'all shelfed up' !!

Great minds follow the same path.

I built a 16 ft long version of this shelving back in the early 80's in my basement. I had just done some demo upstairs so I had access to some 70 year old door casing material (stronger wood than you can buy today). i stood these 7' 6" 4" wide boadrs up against the wall and toe nailed the tops into the ceiling joists above. For the runners I cut some 2x2:s and ran them across that basement wall. I then mirrored that frame in place against the wall so everything would match up, I used 2x4's for the uprights because i had them on hand.

I used 3/8" chip board and made them just sort of 16" wide (2 per 4x8 sheet) and nailed them in place. My self height was a foot and like you the borrom eas the nasement floor. That was 42 years ago and they have served me well

A genius yet simple way to build Stuart. Thanks for this.

Lovely video! I've seen these before but the comments about the lower spec material being acceptable is useful info. Learning with each video. 🐼 ❤.
