- In this video you will see how to upgrade a 4ft x 4 1/2ft walk-in pantry. We will be removing a store bought stand alone metal rack and installing a built-in, wrap around wooden shelving unit. There will be NO support posts to get in your way.
Hi Pat, I took all the items out of my pantry in November because I saw another pantry makeover -- it's now January. I took down the wire shelving, plugged the holes, sanded, primed and painted the walls. I had the store rip down the plywood and I bought a pocket hole jig. I'm a 74 year old woman. I did make a ramp for the shed last summer after seeing a CZcams video, which was pretty easy but now I think I bit off more than I can chew and all the items are still on the counter. Nope, I don't want to pay the $500 quoted. Then I counted your shirt changes, about 10, which gave me inspiration that you didn't do all of that work in one or two days. I may not glue plywood shelves together since my items won't be that many or that heavy, but after watching the video a few times I'M INSPIRED AND AM GOING IN. Thank you so much for getting me started, I was truly tired of seeing all that stuff sitting on the counter.
I'm glad you found inspiration from my video. I do the same with videos. Once you start building the shelves and see some progress, the motivation to finish the project will grow. I wish you the best of success on your project.
Felicidades, yo tomé unos cursos de carpintería y ahí iban unas señoras y nosotros aprendíamos de ellas, creo que usted hizo un buen trabajo, y cuando uno crea, es un gusto o placer muy grande, bendiciones desde Chihuahua México
Hi Rhoda, how did your project go?
this was a great instructional video. THANK YOU for not having ridiculous music in the background
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
The house will most likely not survive a direct hit from a tornado, but the pantry will still be in tact. Nice job, overkill is highly under rated.
Hopefully that day never comes. Thank you
These shelves are impressive! The willingness to evaluate as the project proceeds to make improvements is particularly valuable in my opinion.
I appreciate your comments. Thank you
Hi Pat, Without any doubt, the best engineered, best built pantry shelves I’ve ever seen. Your clear, concise explanation and detailed video footage is appreciated. Thanks for sharing this awesome project.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Larry! Thanks for the comments
Exactly what I was looking for! The plywood strips glued together was the clincher. Rock solid! Thank you.
I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for commenting!
Wow, Pat. Great shelving tutorial but I truly hope nobody ever wants or needs to take it apart! Personally, I probably wouldn't have glued the shelving down, just in case I needed to remove it. I learned my lesson putting up bead board paneling a few years ago with glue and a framing nailer (it's all I had at the time) and since then I've thought about how I'd have to re-rock that entire wall to change it! LOL. I'm a 79 yo woman.... about 72 or so at the time...first time doing anything like that on my own......good thing I still like that wall because I won't be re-doing it! Great job on your project and I appreciate your sharing it.
Thank you for commenting. My DIY hat goes off to you. I hope that when I reach the young age of 79 that I'm still embracing home projects like yourself. I totally love it. You made my day. Keep swinging the hammer!
Wow I’ve watched so many videos and this one right here made me feel confident that I can do it. My first carpentry job!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You did a fantastic job. I love the pantry shelves you created.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Thank you. This is by far the most detailed video I’ve watched on redoing a pantry.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
I really like the way your pantry shelves turned out. You did a fantastic job. These are exactly the kind of shelves I need to have installed in my pantry space which is currently unused because I have no shelves.
I completely understand. I had that metal rack in mine for 2 years before I had time to build these shelve. If the area is empty, you dont need to rush it. Do it a little at a time and before you know it you will have it done. Good luck and thank you for the comments
Well thought out and nice construction. Thanks for sharing. You really put a lot of time in it. Im sure your wife will love it.
Thank you Ken. She definitely loves it.
Hi Pat! I just installed your pantry shelves in our brand new pantry. First project I've done like this but your video was all I needed! It turned out so great, thanks!!!
That's awesome! I'm glad you found the video useful. Thank you for commenting.
The addition of the bottom skin turns it into a torsion box. It can't deflect without breaking that entire glue bond and ripping the nails.... You could store Gorillas in there. Nice work man!
That's the kind of strength needed. My wife loves to put my projects to the test. This one was no exception!
I Love this! You did a really good job Pat! 💞 I'm turning my closet under my stairs into a walkin pantry! I have No clue what I'm doing, but I did get it all painted. Now to figure out how to make these shelves... these look really sturdy & love how it came out! I don't have all these tools so I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do this. I wish I could hire you lol. Thanks for sharing, you have gave me motivation & inspiration 🙏💞
Thanks for all the kind words. As far as the tools go, check with family and friends. You would be surprised what you can round up. Lumber store can cut the wood just make sure you have your dimensions handy. So, all that's left is a little sweat equity. I can see those shelves going up under the stairs already. Wish you the best!
@@patshomeprojectsandmore5878 Thank you so much too! I absolutely LOVE how it came out! I bet your wife is LOVING it. It really is beautiful. Im measuring it All up tomorrow. 🙂
Looks great. I think those shelves could withstand a tornado. Much stronger than a few people ive seen on here wing it. good job.
I appreciate it! Thank you
Great step by step break down plus adjusting as you see minor defects 👏🏻
Yeah, you can always count on having a few issues to deal with. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work! It has a built in look that shows you care. Now I need to consider my pantry redo! Great video!
Thanks for the kind words.
This is genius! I can finally get rid of the wire crap now! Great video!
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful.
Pat: very well conceived, thought out and built. An excellent tutorial, thank you so much.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Stupendous! It was a pleasure to watch you build this! Bravo Pasquale!
Thank you, and thanks for watching! 🙂
Outstanding video. This is the highest quality build I’ve seen in its class. Thank you!
I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent job Pat!! Very professional.
Thanks Perry
Great job, Pat! This is a great idea for my linen closet! Thank you.
Glad you liked it
Nicely done. We are literally in the middle of our pantry remodel, as we speak. In the sanding phase. Man it takes forever...!
Thanks. Remember to allow plenty of time for paint to dry before loading up the shelves. Embrace the sanding. It's therapeutical.
Looks great. I’d change the lightbulb to an led daylight and it will brighten your pantry beautiful.
Thanks Marsha! I'll give the daylight LED a try
What an awesome build. I enjoyed the step by step and the lack of annoying music. I am at the point where I have my pantry demo done and finalizing the build this was a great video. Thanks
I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching! Best wishes on your pantry project.
Pantry looks great! I've been thinking of doing something similar to mine but mine is partially underneath the stairs and a small chest freezer takes up some of that room so I'm kind of limited. Great video and thanks for posting!
Thanks Neil! Not sure of your setup under the stairs but maybe some deep pullout drawers at the bottom.
This video was exactly what I was looking for in order to learn how to make those concave corners without a vertical support. Thank you!
I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
Great job Pat - the shelves look amazing!
Thanks so much!
Awesome looks amazing. I really like how you incorporated the kreg pocket holes with this build.
Thanks, Scott! There is a right time and wrong time for pocket hole screws. This project was perfect for them.
Great job, Pat! This is a great idea for my pantry closet exactly looks same Thank you !!!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent & very proffessionally exhibited - Woth watching this video till end. Well done keep up with more different projects.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hello from northwest Florida! You video popped up in my feed so I clicked on it, not sure why except I love DIY and I'm renovating old home built in 1939 so always love to see others doing diy projects too. Love that door! I bought the hardware months ago but I still haven't got around to it yet.
1939 renovation project. Sounds like fun. Hopefully it's going well. Thanks for commenting.
Good job, your wife must enjoy her new pantry. Thanks 🙏
Thank you Peter.
Awesome job, I’ve added you into my “pantry/storage file. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Great to hear. Best wishes on your future project
This is great, I used the exact same thing in my kids closet about 10 years ago, glad to see someone else use the same method : )
That being said, I did my pocket holes from the back-side of the shelves so you don't see it or need any banding or face frame.
Thank you for commenting and your suggestion.
Outstanding work, Pat.
Thanks William and thank you for watching!
Hello Pat! First I would like to thank you for sharing this video as it inspired me to learn and do the same for our pantry. Although mine was a larger area your design was used. The project took some serious commitment and hours to do myself. I laminated using both 3 layers and 4 layers depending on the need. I’ll upload you the photos shortly. Thanks again and happy holidays!
I'm so happy to hear that you found this video useful. It provides me with the motivation to produce this type of content. Thanks for sharing your project.
Awesome video this is exactly what I need, a Husband with your skill set 😂 ❤ very informative and educational I might be able to do this by myself! I’m going to save your video so I can follow this step by step I just love 💕 you’re pantry, well technically you’re wife’s pantry. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad you found the video informative.
Love the detail and how thorough you were in filling holes, sanding etc, Especially the use of the Kreg pocket jig. I have one and love it , the right tool for the job. I truly enjoy seeing people take the time and do the job the right way. I’m quite surprised you didn’t add any led lighting under the shelves. You had the electrical available. They have rechargeable strip lighting that works nicely especially in areas it’s a challenge to run electrical too. I use them in small areas where they are magnetically attached to a track you install, so removal is easy for recharging. On average I charge them maybe once a month and they are motion sensitive, great for drawers in cabinets etc. If you didn’t want to go thru the trouble and expense the rechargeable ones are cheap and long lasting. The ones I got off amazon have lasted over 5 years now. Just a thought. Great job.
I have had a few people mention lighting in the past. During the project, additional lighting was not a consideration. With the pantry being just under 5'x5', the shelves only 13" deep and everything painted white, I felt the ceiling light would be sufficient. Have you ever done a project where every time you look at it you wish you did something a little different. I can honestly say that does not happen when I enter the pantry. Had I stained the shelves a dark color or made them deeper I think lighting would be a topic to discuss. I truly like the idea of using LED strip lighting and who knows, maybe a future project might include it. Thanks again for watching and providing feedback. I am always open to suggestions!
I’m certainly late to the party by a year. But this video is fantastic and I learned a lot! Thanks for a great video!
Better late than never! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
As one Carpenter to another I like your style great job
Thank you!
Excellent work ! Your wife must be very happy !
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the positive feedback.
You are amazing...im so appreciate of your honesty. You are very gifted and talented! Thank you though, for your humble tutorials. I've learned a lot from your approach. Good luck with your new shop!! Patty k.
Thank you for all your kind works. I truly appreciate it, and thank you for watching!
❤good quality job! Pat! I really loveeee how you are working!! Thanks !
I appreciate your kind thoughts and your time spent watching. Thank you!
Beautiful craftsmanship!
Thank you Faythe
Your work's sick. Great job. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, and thanks for watching.
Nice job, you sure have a lot of patience for doing all the little details. Very nice Sir.
Thanks, I try. You will probably never see me doing drywall work on this channel because my patience is very limited when it comes to mudding drywall.
lol "DIY", this is far better than most professional installs I've seen! Well done!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank You for showing us the detailed process.
My pleasure 😊
I made similar shelves with pine but yours are mush more strong and stable due to double up plywood.
Great idea
Thanks
Excellent job, they look amazing
Thank you. Appreciate the comment
Pat-great video and a great build! It is good entertainment too. My only suggestion would be to add a parts list including the specifics on the wood/braces. I am reading comments below so I am sure I will find answers to my questions. Amazing job. Thanks!
Hello Rob. Thanks for the comment, and I agree. I try to improve with each video
Very nice!!!! Incredible video! Thank you!
Thanks for the positive feedback
Thanks for sharing, great job and I admire your skill !
Thanks for watching and commenting. It is greatly appreciated!
Great idea to glue the plywood strips together like an LVL beam. I have a pantry we want to redo and I’m going to use your basic plan. We have one wall that has a pocket door behind it. Wondered what to do there and now i know to use 3/4” plywood as a backer. All great tips!!!
Thanks and have fun with your pantry project
Wow! That's looked super nice.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Wow !!! Beautiful work !
Thanks, Alejandra
Nice to see a craftsman show us how it's done. Nice and stout, very nice..
Glad you enjoyed it. A craftsman show might be a stretch but I'll take it!
@@patshomeprojectsandmore5878 Haha!
This turned out fantastic!
Thank you
Great job, and excellent idea re the laminated ply!
Thank you very much!
Job well done, they turned out very nice.
Thank you, Robert!
This was a good instructional video I loved it ❤
Thank you
Wow! Beautiful work
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Pantry looks amazing
I appreciate it. Thank you Valerie
Great job and great planning 👍🤓
Thanks Tyrone
Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Barry
You did an awesome job would love a pantry like that 👍
Thanks. It was well worth the upgrade.
Looks great! Well done video too.
Thanks Alex
Very nice job! Wish I had all those tools to work with.
Thanks! The secret to accumulating tools is to save on labor costs by doing the projects yourself. Then, you can purchase the tools you need and still have money leftover. It has worked well for me over the past 40 years.
This came out beautiful. If I only had a closet that big to redo lol Im looking into recessed shelving for my hall right now. I hope I can find something even close to as beautiful as this came out. Well done, sir!
Thank you for your kind words. Check out my recessed shelf video I did in my bathroom.
@@patshomeprojectsandmore5878 I did :) Nice job there too!
LOOKS FANTASTIC
Thanks for watching! It is greatly appreciated
Meticulous and very impressive. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I guess you don't ever want those coming out. Great job! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed!
Not in my lifetime! Thanks for subscribing.
Great job bud , Anything to make Wifey’s life easier in the Kitchen !!!
Lol! This was once a 2 car garage, and the original kitchen design didn't even include a pantry room. If not for my wonderful wife's persistence to include a pantry, this video would never have been made.
Fantastic! Looks great going to give it a try
Have fun!
Great job Pat !
Thanks Pat! Lol
Looks like you did a bang up job very nice
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Was a great tutorial video!
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
One of the best diy projects I have seen on ytube 👌
Thanks Rajesh
No more videos Pat?
I apologize for the lack of videos. My primary work deals with insurance claims and the weather from California to Kentucky has kept me very busy. I have a video in the works that I hope to have out soon.
@@patshomeprojectsandmore5878 Apologise? No! I was just curious. Best wishes
Beautiful Job !!
Thank you Melodee
Such simple great style!
Thank you
nice job. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for commenting!
Beautiful finish.
Thanks John
Very nice work!
Thank you!
This is probably the best floating shelf video out there, honestly! Love the LVL approach - I bet these shelves are SOLID and aren’t going anywhere! I’ll definitely be stealing this approach from now on when building these projects. No need to research anymore - this is the way to go !
Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm glad you found it useful.
Very nice and profesional looking.
Thank you Jose!
Nice job. Well done
Thank you for commenting!
Excellent job!
Glad you like it!
These would, undoubtedly, survive a nuclear blast! The amount of glue used is likely enough to hold everything together alone. Then you added approximately 4,000 brads. What a great use of the space and an incredible transformation. Well done, Sir! You have set the bar for my pantry, I only hope I can do as good a job...
I hate when projects fail, so I tend to do more and not less. I enjoyed the comments. Thank you
INCREDIBLE JOB!!!
Thank you!
Well done! Great set of shelves. Maybe a missed opportunity was to put some low voltage LED down lights embedded into the bottom of the shelves as there is a good gap in there. Now that the ply is glued in place it would be tricky to remove the bottoms but others watching this may want to consider that as an option. If lights are put in then you'd probably want to screw the bottoms in rather than glue to make it serviceable in the future. Nice work!!
That is an interesting thought. I'm sure I could still install them. For now, it will have to wait. There are too many other projects still needing done. Thanks for the great idea!
Pantry looked awesome. Very well designed and so open. Great job. I may have to copy this. Only feedback I’d have is please lower that table saw blade.
Thanks for watching. I saw that when I watched it back myself. Surprisingly, you're the first to call me out on it, but rightfully so. Safety first. In another year or two, government regulations might require safety stops on all table saws!
Superb 👌💯! Thank you!
Thank you too!
Thx fantastic. Very specific & detailed
Thank you
Great work , i love it
Thanks Willie!
Nicely done! Wow….
Thank you
Very nice job 👍
