Follow me Nerds, as I show you how I built this light-up workbench and shelving system by myself (One person build), but if you have help it's twice as easy.
This technique works for all applications including floors with and without slopes.

**instead of splicing the wires for the lights above the bench, they make extended cords (link listed below). A much safer and up to code option**
Wood and Cuts:
(25)- 8' long 2"X4" (Might need more or less depending on length and height of garage. My garage is less than 16' so I had to cut the horizontal framing by 6" on one side and the 29 internal boards were cut @ 27")
(5)- 8' long 1"X3" (I split mine with the table saw so if you don't want to do that perhaps get 10-1"X2" instead) (used for pegboard framing) (cut to desired size of pegboards)
(2)-4'X8' pegboard sheets (cut to desired height and length - mine is 36"X84" and 39"X29" for the side pieces on the dividers
(5)(total) - 23/32" 4'X8' plywood sheets (1/2" should also be okay pending your application)
all 5 cut @ 30" (2 were cut in half for my 4 - 4' shelf sections and then trimmed on the left side to fit my garage length)
2 of the leftover 18" sheets to be cut at 12" (To pair with the 18" sheets to complete 30" deep shelves on top)

I just happenedbto come across your channel. I respect your humility, honesty, and your willingness to show that you are learning. In addition I appreciate that you are sharing your production growth along with that of the channel itself. This channel looks to be a must watch particularly for the new guys and weekend warriors, without being "dumbed down"
Brawl Dawg I really appreciate you taking time to provide feedback! Everyone screws up, I figure it’s better I do it first so nobody else has to, and we all can learn from it and become better together. I am also detail oriented naturally so I really like to explain the reason for each step (although not everyone likes that haha). Thanks again, hope your weekend projects are going well!
Bingo brawl dawg bailed it!!! 🤣
Brawl Dawg stated almost exactly what I would have said. I appreciate noting the errors and not trying to be "Perfect" in woodworking.
Thanks Tony! I appreciate you man!
(
I love how this guy shows his mishaps… too many videos of people making it look like a piece of cake with no problems… this guys shows dropping stuff, messing up screwing Philip head screws, top shelf not 100% stable, garage door catching, boxes in storage area… this makes this guy unique, this is more real and I LOVE IT!
Thank your so much! Every project has its issues for sure! Glad my mishaps are at the very least entertaining haha. Cheers!
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans czcams.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
Shout out to you, two years later and you're still helping someone!
Thank you! I’m happy my videos have been helpful! Cheers!
I really really appreciate a channel that makes a ton of stuff, and makes it well, without having a $5000+ arsenal of power tools. Makes it feel achievable.
Thanks Ricky! All those tools would make the job a lot easier for sure, but I know exactly what you’re talking about! Some of the most intricate stuff was made by hand, so anything is possible, just takes time.
lol its always "watch how easy it is to make this SIMPLE desk" then heads on over to $150,000 woodworking shop.
Dude, I LOVE this! Thank you for coming back. Thanks!
Of course! Thanks for watching!!
Not a thing to be embarrassed of my friend..just pure opportunities to learn
So.... I came across your video on Tuesday, thought it looked very doable... at least you made it look that way. Ordered all the lumber on Wednesday, bought a Kregg’s jig, a couple of saw horses, and began clearing out my work space, located the studs, marked exactly like you did... Thursday my lumber arrived and I started measuring & cutting, I just followed along with your video... and by Friday afternoon I was done with everything except for the pegboard! I couldn’t believe it!! My previous carpenter skills consisted of repairing fences! I can’t thank you enough for all your help.
Hey Mike! That means a lot man! I’m happy to hear the video was helpful. It’s literally just one board at a time and you can build anything, just takes time. I appreciate you stopping by to let me know it worked out for you! I hope you enjoy, and get a lot of use out of it! Your comments and feedback are always welcome!
Tyler, let me add my sincere thanks for your time making the video. Your plan was just what I was looking for in my small garage, and helped immensely with my build! I don’t think I can post a photo, but I’m really happy with the finished product. Thanks again!
Hey Frank! Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoy your new space as much as I am enjoying mine! Thank you for stopping by to share!
1/2 way through and already looking very good. I was amazed it's so strong you can do pull-ups on it. Good work all around.
Thank you! It’s pretty darn sturdy.
Being able to hold your weight is the very minimum standard a workbench should be made to. Hell, when I cedar lined my wife's closet and replaced the rods, my standard was that it needed to be able to hold 400 lbs at any single point on the rod. The previous rod had collapsed due to her trying to put so many clothes in a space that was that size. Anything worth engineering is worth OVER-engineering. For a workbench, you should shoot for being able to hold the entire weight of a diesel engine. This means building things with the wood in compression and not having it entirely supported by the shear loads of screws. I built a motorcycle dolly for my Harley and it easily supports the 800+ lbs (empty weight) of the bike while also being easy to move around. The casters that I used were taken off of two furniture moving dollies which were rated for 1000 lbs each, so theoretically my motorcycle dolly should hold 2000 lbs. With the weight of the motorcycle, fuel, and me, it's got around 1000 lbs on it. Everything is in compression and the carriage bolts are just to keep things from moving in sideways directions.

Grumpy OldMan that’s awesome!
There's no other video on CZcams that perfectly explains everything. Nice job man.
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
This is very nice. I love the workbench idea. I’m planning to build this in my garage and this was helpful to see.
Great project! Thanks for taking the time to make and film it. Subscribed.
DIY Minded thank you! I really appreciate it!
I had created a vision with this other video and I saw yours and this was EXACTLY what I had in mind thank you it looks so easy cant wait ot get started on mine
Thank you! Good luck with your build! Thanks for watching!
Thanks a million, really loved this video. I appreciate your taking the time to explain everything and put it together.
You've got a great personality for the videos. Great humor, tips, and details. You make me feel like I can make the project you're doing. Thanks! I need to get my garage cleaned out so I can make the shelves and work station! 👍
Thank you Bruce! I appreciate you saying that. Good luck with your build! Thank you for watching!
State 48! Perfect timing. This is exactly what I want to do in the spare room. A nice work bench and shelving for all those bins that I have as well. Nicely detailed.
Thanks Adam! Good luck with your build! Let me know how it turns out! Cheers!
Thank you for making such a fantastic video. This is EXACTLY the kind of video that I find the most useful. Everything from the crystal clear explanations, materials list, recommended tools, and even took an opportunity to share the shortcomings - all make for one of the best tutorials I have found online. Definitely and instantly subscribed and looking forward to more of your work. Regards!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I’ll try to keep them coming just like this.
I built my shelves with Simpson Strong ties. Very quick, easy and very strong.
They make some great stuff. Used a couple hangers of theirs in my workbench video. I bet that made things a lot easier.
This is my favorite bench type build that I think will fit my needs. Good job.
Great build but I would suggest one alteration. The additional shelf support/header should sit on top of the vertical 2 bys and not besides.
I just built my first garage shelves yesterday. Thank you for all your tips, awesome build! I agree on the Power Pro screws I had to countersink prior to screwing them into the lumber, but they are a superior wood screw and worth the extra cost, Lowe’s carries them as well👍
Awesome tips! Thank you for watching!
Tim from Canada… if you live in Canada, you can get those exact same containers at the Home Depot.. two different sizes really cheap… sometimes they are in the flyers even cheaper. Keep your eyes on the flyers. You can get these bins really cheap.all at HOME DEPOTS
Thank you. I'm going to make this for my husband as our anniversary gift.
Congratulations on your anniversary! What a cool gift to give!
I loved this video. I ended up using your plans to build my own storage/ workbench. It's great! Thanks!
I’m glad! Congratulations on your new storage/workspace! Thanks for watching!
Another good practice would be to locate the horizontal and vertical electrical runs in your wall prior to fastening the shelves to the wall. Most modern stud finders will also have a voltage locating setting.
Looks great planning on using this for my
It’s a really good looking set up! Loved it!
Loved this. I learned a lot and really appreciate the "favorite" tool section at the end. Super handy info!
Thank you Rose! Glad it was helpful!
Love this! Great work. Will be doing this when I am done finishing my basement. Earned a sub. Thanks.
Thanks Nate! Good luck with your new workspace!
Thanks for being a normal person who makes hood videos.
Haha I appreciate the compliment! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
I'm so happy to have found this. I just bought my first house and was wanting to put a work station in. This looks like a great way to start doing home projects.
Congratulations on the house! I’m really happy with my setup! I hope it serves you well.
OMG 😱 That's BEAUTIFUL.
I've done my shop over so many times. Now I'm going to have to do it again. I love the cubby hole with the lights. You did a fantastic job. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! I’m really pleased with it! Working on another shop upgrade video now. Keep an eye open for it.
Awesome. Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to do this in my garage for some time now.
You’re welcome! Good luck with your build!
Tim from Canada if you were doing this shelving system. make the longer pieces go to the floor.. this way the floor supports the weight of your shelving when you’re doing your long pieces, make sure that the end up on the floor for support
Hey Tim! I appreciate the feedback and you watching my videos! Hope all is well up north!
Thank you CZcams algorithm for blessing me with Wood Nerd's content. Love the vids man, keep it up!
Thanks Skyler! That means a lot! More videos on their way!
Great vid man. The honesty and such is refreshing. Glad it all worked out for you. You have my sub.
I appreciate that man! I feel it adds a little more value so everyone following along knows what to look out for and doesn’t screw up the same as I did! Thanks for watching!
As other people said I appreciate that you show us the mistakes instead of trying to hide them and fix them in the shadows. I'm newer to woodworking and this actually helped a lot. Trying to get some ideas for my garage but I have a smaller length due to vehicles. but this motivated me to start drawing some stuff up. Thanks again man.
Thanks for the feedback! In the projects that I make mistakes I’m definitely trying to point them out to help! Good luck with your build! I hope it turns out well! Cheers!
what the hell using the wall as a stop block is pretty genius
Haha thanks Joe! Worked out pretty well!
Great product- worked perfectly, no issues.
Great Video as someone getting into woodworking myself, loved the video.
Matt Janes I really appreciate it! I try to give a little extra info in the steps so anyone can complete the projects with me.
Looks great, thanks for sharing, especially the mistakes too. 👍
Thank you! Of course! Whenever I watch a tutorial on something, I wish they would tell me their mistakes so I knew what I was up against haha. So I add that into mine.
Great video! Was waiting for that final "after" wide shot of the whole build finished full of containers.
Great advice on the tools at the end of the video they are truly a man’s helper when building. Thanks again
"Hey Boss, I cut it twice and it is still too short!"
Love the video and great tips and info. We all make mistakes and I learn more from mistakes rather than always doing everything right all the time. Thanks 👍
Lol! That’s exactly how it is! I agree, mistakes teach powerful lessons! Thanks for watching!
Awesome build. Love to see people using homeowner tools to create good stuff. Don’t always need $5k in tools for the home jobber. Also, love those lights. My garage had a single horror film light in it. Put 8 of those in to brighten it up. Work great.
Thanks for stopping by! I agree! You can build a house with a handful of tools! I really like these lights. I made a separate video where I fill my garage with them and they perform perfectly.
Thanks for the video! I used a lot of your tips and ideas to build a workbench and a bunch of shelving for my garage and on the side of our house.
Jeremy Hansen I’m glad it was helpful! I love hearing stories about others builds so thanks for sharing!
I never thought of using the wall as a stop block, what a brilliant idea.
I would love to give my husband a unique Fathers Day gift. This is perfect I'm so glad I found it
That would be and awesome gift!
You're giving him wood?
I don't even understand what this means? The gift of an idea...?
Giving him a functional work space to do projects he enjoys. Some ppl like practical things as gifts.
WOW! How awesome of a wife are you that 1) You have the skills to build something like this and 2) That you would think of building it for your husband. He's one luck guy!!
Dude, this is great. I’m attempting something similar and having seen this I will use your method. Appreciate the mistakes and tools advice. Nice work mate.
Thank you James! I hope it goes smoothly for you! Build on!
Too late in the year for me to start something like this, but you have inspired me. This will be my spring project. Amazing video, thank you.
Sounds like a good plan! Work through those project lists! Thanks for watching!
This is incredible! Thank you for sharing. I’m buying a house next spring, and you have inspired me to build this!
Of course! Congratulations on the future purchase! Thanks for watching Jason!
When building shelves like these, I have a recommendation...because they will ALWAYS end up with more weight than you anticipate. Put vertical 2x4s between each shelf. Both behind the front boards that you screw the shelves to and against the wall between the shelves. This takes the weight off of the fasteners and transfers it to the floor. Shearing off the screws is possible. Collapsing a vertical 2x4 is much more difficult. My two cents.
I appreciate it Rex! Been considering an update video on this as it’s been a hot topic. Thank you for the recommendation. Cheers!
For sure. A couple of cuts and they're more than likely just cutoffs laying around.
Built this almost exactly the way you did, with a few things different. Thank you for throwing this video up, I have watched it probably 10 times as I put this thing together. Bought the lights, worked great. I encourage anyone to give it a shot.
Thanks Chris! I appreciate it man! Hope you enjoy your new workspace!
Would you suggest this for someone that's never really built anything? I'd like almost exactly this build, but for a craft room.
I'd probably want it for my shed out back too but idk, it's not a great shed and idk if I'd make use of it in there. It depends how hard it ends up being to make just the one.
Love the postmortem of what you didn’t like and your tool VIP content
Thank you Michael! I really appreciate the feedback!
Thanks Tyler - Great down to earth tutorial. Appreciate you putting all this together as I literally have the same size garage and my Toyota Hilux is likely never getting in there so this is what I'd like to add.
Thanks for the feedback James! I appreciate it man! Checkout my folding bench video for more space savings ideas! That sucker has such a small footprint compared to the massive work surface it provides!
Great project, loved the outcome - thanks for sharing the mistakes as well makes us mere mortals feel less flawed :P subbed
Haha thanks for watching! More screw ups to come!
Awesome camera work and editing.. dope instrumentals.. great marketing.. subscribed.. i’m a first time home owner and just getting started in wood working .. looking forward to more videos from you bro 🤟🏼🤓
Thanks Julian! I appreciate it man!! It’s a perfect time to learn! I’ll be doing a lot of home stuff!
Thanks for the ideas Tyler! I used your video and technique to build my garage workbench and storage, and it turned out great!
Awesome! Glad to hear it! Checkout my newer workbenche video! It’s amazing!
Deck screws are a game changer.
Nice build and you've left yourself plenty of room for add on options. Like someone else mentioned i might think about french cleat system instead of peg board, also you can build cabinets with drawers underneath. I've built a table saw cabinet on wheels that I roll under my bench.
Jerry Bailey that’s an awesome idea! I’ve been fumbling around with some ideas similar to that! Maybe a miter station as well.
Bro Hugz.. Great Job! Thank You!
Thanks man! Hope it helped!
That was a fantastic video, and I was glued to it all the way thanks for taking the time to put this together I will be doing my garage the same. Cheers from Ireland.
Hey! Thanks Jimmy! Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your build!
Great inspiration for the new garage next month, thanks for the vid!
Congratulations on the new space! Thank you for watching!
Randomly found uour video bro. Awesome shelves. I bught a house recently that came with home build shelves. I dont like them so I started searching for diy benches and shelves for garages.
I love the size you went with. The entire wall!!!!!!!
I have those metal shelves from Walmart too... and hate them.
I'm going to go all out and buy alot of wood, a cordless drill and a nail gun like yours and try my hand at an epic sized bench and shelves.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Keep up the good work. I dont have a diy channel but I do make alot of overlanding vids. Maybe I can inspire you as well.
Thanks man! I appreciate that! I’m glad you found value in this video! I’ll definitely check your channel out! Thanks for watching and good luck with your build!
Exactly what I was looking for! Great build 👌
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your sweet project. I am going through the same process right now. Originally i had my workbench to the right, but I liked how you placed it in the middle. Second guessing my plans now. Anyways, nice work!
Thanks for watching! I wish I had more space, I would have 16’ of bench haha.
Good job! I'm in the same boat as you were at the time, just moved and have a garage to build out. Thanks for the useful tips!
Thank you! Congratulations on the new space man! Good luck with your build!
Nice build, someone isn't going to be happy that you glued the plywood to the framing someday!
Thank you! Haha! It won’t be that hard to remove. A couple precision cuts and it will come right off. But I’d love if I sold the house to someone who appreciates it more than sees it as an obstacle. I personally, would have loved to move into a shop or storage minded house. The residents before us were missing out.
Nice build, and no doubt a very useful addition to your garage. Just one nitpick: level is horizontal. PLUMB is vertical. Thanks for the video. Happy New Year.
Haha thanks Mark! Happy New Year man!
Great video on the shelf/work bench very informative including tips. Fact is you were so clear and made it look so doable I did it. I still need to put up the peg board but I had to tell you I am amazed at the amount of storage, and room on the work bench. Thank You
That’s awesome to hear! Glad it was helpful! I love all the space I have now. I go out to the garage just to tinker with things on the bench haha.
Gravity check!! Ha ha brilliant. If its ok i'm gonna steal that one. :-)
Haha have at it!
This will be a great project for my dad and me! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. It says a great deal about a person when they can talk about their mistakes and what they would do differently. I will make sure to measure twice and save myself a garage door!
Aaron Wesley if you guys build it, I’d love to see the end product! I really appreciate you saying that! It’s easy to mess something up and a lot of us do. I’d rather mess it up first so no one else has to haha.
Wow, a DIY project that's actually DIY. Simple but effective design that pretty much anyone with very basic tools can pull off. Very nice video; I built my own garage shelving in a similar way, although mine are free-standing for flexibility and because my current place is a rental. Here are a handful of thoughts based on my own experiences, for viewers who are looking to try something like this themselves.
•Home improvement & lumber stores can also cut your 2x4s for you if you do your planning and bring a cut list. They may charge a small fee, but it can save time overall - especially if you have limited power tools. You'll need to put in some more effort in the planning stages to generate that cut list, though.
•For cutting plywood with a skill saw, a saw guide kit can really help keep those long cuts straight & square. These are pretty inexpensive and can help you get cuts as clean and straight as you'd get from a table saw.
•If you don't have the equipment & know-how to do pocket holes, you can also get steel brackets to assemble an equivalent joint.
•For the screws, do yourself a favor and pay the little bit extra for Torx or square-drive screws rather than Phillips.
•If your shelves are mainly just used for totes & boxes, OSB can be a more cost-effective material than plywood. Either way, I prefer to screw those down rather than nailing them down. It takes more time, but it's easier to reconfigure or repair in the future. Likewise, gluing can become a headache down the road.
•For the workbench, melamine board makes for a much nicer work surface than bare plywood, although you might stick with the plywood if it's really going to get a lot of rough treatment. But for a general-use garage workbench for the average homeowner, melamine board is really nice.
•Finally, any workbench needs power outlets. There are lots of different options for this, but all of them will work better, go in easier, and look cleaner if you think ahead and make the wiring & outlets part of the original plan rather than an afterthought.
Great additions! Thank you for watching and contributing!
This is exactly what i need. Im excited to start this project in my new garage!
Congratulations on your space! Glad the video was helpful. Good luck on your build.
That Kreg jig made me want more projects that needed pocket screws. LOL. Great work!
Thanks Mark! It’s a handy option for sure! I appreciate you watching! Cheers!
Really cool build! I have a couple suggestions from builds I've done in the past. One thing I would recommend is to not glue and nail your plywood. If you end up wanting to change the layout or want to replace it with something else down the line it is going to make it a pain in the butt. Same with your worktop, you'll eventually scar it up pretty good and being able to just undo some screws and replace the board makes it super quick and easy. The final suggestion is to spend the extra money and get high quality decking screws. Torx heads are 1000x better than Phillips and they also are designed to hold lumber together and do a great job at it.
I love the video and have subscribed to the channel. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Robert! I appreciate it! Great suggestions!
Those storage containers are available at Home Depot for about $10 and are often on sale.
Those are actually from Office Depot... The Home Depot sells very similar, heavier duty ones. But yes they're often on sale.
Nicely done! Well narrated. I appreciate the effort and talents you put into your project and video! Thank you!
Hey, thank you! Means a lot!
I moved last year, been wanting to build shelves and a bench, I've read plans, watched videos and then randomly last week found this video. Can't wait to knock this build out of the park with a few changes! Thank you Tyler! Subscribed!
I appreciate that man! Good luck with your build!
Earned a subscribe on this one! Love it!
Thank you Jakub! I really appreciate it!
I see that you too are a proponent of the “the-wall-is-my-stopblock” method. I have used that method often. Cool video!
Thank you! The unmovable stopblock haha. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for sharing your screwups. One of the most valuable things to share.
Of course man! Thank you for watching!! I appreciate the feedback!
I made these last year. They work great. EASY.
I guess I’m a wood nerd myself! Great video.
Thank you Jason! Nothing wrong with that! Welcome to the club!
Wood Nerds Happy to be here. 😎
Automatic thumbs up for the cinematic sequence at the beginning!! Perfect
Thank you! I was hoping it would be a hit and not annoying to watch haha.
Wood Nerds when you watched that sequence after editing it , you knew you had fire! Some content we as creators make are good, but then there are those videos we make that are GOLD. GREAT JOB!
I really appreciate it man! Thanks for sharing the love!
This is a great video that will help me with my storage project. Your enthusiasm is inspirational and your honesty on screen commendable. Looking forward to future projects!
Thank you Ted! Good luck with your project!
Fantastic job with good explanation of how you did the entire build... I did roughly a similar install on my garage but instead, built a free standing workbench. However, I am running out of room for tools which ultimately causes clutter, so seeing a building like yours gave me some really great ideas on maximizing open space for storage! Well done Sir and keep up the good work!
Thanks Mike! I have a pretty neat fold up free standing bench video as well that helps save a lot of space and it’s huge. I appreciate you watching!
Great build man! I'm wanting to make something like this in my garage, as well. This gives me motivation!
Bret Gregorius thank you! It’s really not a bad project! If you have any sort of building ability you should be able to complete it within a couple days. It took me 5 days (late start Sunday and 4 days after work for a couple hours, all while taking video and planning as I built). If you have help it will be a lot easier.
Great job and great advice! Just curious as to what you are storing in your storage containers. Are they tools or just personal spill over items from the home? If they are tools do you have any suggestions on how to organize?
Thank you! It’s all of the above! Mostly items from the house or items usually stored in the garage(car parts, cleaning supplies, camping gear, painting supplies, etc...). I do have tools and tool related gear in them as well (sand paper, screws, staples, shims, jigs, etc..). For the tool storage, I don’t pack those bins full, or if I do, I put them on a lower shelf (tools are heavy) and stack the most used tools on top and the least used on bottom. Tools that I use on a regular basis I keep on my bench (either on the pegboard or on the top itself). I might do a French cleat system in the future for heavier tool storage. As for now, this works really well. A nice tip is, add tape to the front of your bins and label what you keep in there. Very useful until the contents are committed to memory. I hope that helps! :)
I like the fact, admire really, that you point out your mistakes, so as to inform your followers not to do the same. Remember to measure once, and cut it as many times as it takes? " I cut it off twice, and the darn thing is still too short." We learn from our mistakes!
I really appreciate that Bill! We all make mistakes (me probably more than most haha). I always wanted to hear them from others so I can learn faster! Thanks for the feedback, I’ll definitely keep this going.
Dude! You did a great job.
Thanks for video. 🙏🏽🙌🏾
Thank you Lewis! I appreciate you watching!
maybe I missed this.. whats the height and distance between shelves? Having a tough time figuring that out. Thanks!
Just FYI, Harbor Freight has those same clamps you were recommending too. I say that because not only is Harbor Freight cheaper, but they also have a lifetime warranty. And while other brands may have a lifetime warranty as well, I've not found any clamps that were easier to exchange once they finally gave up the ghost.
That’s an awesome recommendation! I might have to go grab some to try out (could always use more clamps).
@@WoodNerds to many tools???, that is like to many radios.
That is exactly what I wanted to do. I have looked at many videos and they are so complex, I usually can build things as this table and it is helpful. Also the tools that you use and the MISTAKES you made as they are EYE openers for us viewers.
I’m glad it was helpful Luis! Thank you for letting me know. I’ll be keeping those sections in my videos going forward as it’s valuable to know where the struggles in a project take place.
I’m an old DIYer…I spent a good part of my life framing houses…I enjoyed your video, but most of all I loved your honesty…reporting on your mistakes actually HELPS a lot of people…remember…we ALL make mistakes…GREAT JOB
Thank you John! I truly appreciate it!
Yeap, thats a great idea man.. i have some stuff that needs to be rearranged. Thanks
DIY Creations thanks man! glad it was helpful!
Did you consider making French cleats for this project? I’ve never made or used them before, but they are on my “to do” list to give a try.
I thought about it! The peg board could be removed and replaced in the future! I haven’t personally used it before but it would be fun to try out!
I've made french cleats for a wall unit... It's pretty great to do
French Cleats in my opinion: are that they are good in theory but my shop and wall storage does not change often enough to utilize fully the french cleats for their modular design. Also it is sometimes limiting and the setup is quite a bit more work than what I think it is worth. Again this is just my opinion and lots of other youtubers use french cleats. I like just to use plywood and screw my holders to the plywood.
I really enjoyed this video and learned some good information. Your build design is awesome and I appreciate you going over your mistakes.
I hope you keep at it as I look forward to checking out more of your channel in the future.
Thank you
