Snakes on a Hand Plane! Nice video. : )
What I love the most about this is the little trick to mounting the post to a couple blocks wedged in at the top!
Great way of fixing the top block into the c-channel. Brilliant!
Glad you liked it! :)
Loved the end montage. Would love to see more of that!
What a difference!! And I know it feels good to have all that room again!! Awesome job Neil!!😊😊👍
It certainly does mate! Thanks Jed! :)
You are a lucky man Pask, to have a huge shop like that. My shop is about 8x10. I have a partial loft area that just last week I cleaned all out so I can store my wood up there. You may be the same but “I’m a wood hoarder”! I swear I hate to throw away ANY wood but I’ve been going through all my wood and making hard decisions to at least get it to a manageable amount. Your racking system looks aw some and agree with the changes you made. As always I look forward to seeing more videos. Take care and be safe!
Thanks Becky! I am lucky but I could actually do with some more space. My workshop is only half of the shed and at some point I'm going to open it up and use the whole area. I hate throwing wood away but this weekend I was ruthless and went though and burned some of it, I really needed a clearout and some pieces just didn't need keeping! :)
Loved this one mate, very simple, very useful and economical way to make some good looking racks, again I love how I could do this from scrap which always gets a thumbs up from me!
Thanks mate - glad you liked it! :)
I'm a fan, that looks solid!
Thanks Paul - I'm a big fan of your work too! :)
You can get a little more utility out of your first rack by adding a board across the underside of the supports. That gives you bins for smaller scrap pieces of more valuable woods or small panels. Must feel nice to get that cleaned up though.
That's a good idea Jeff! :)
I'll start in on these tonight! I plan to make mine two sided with a center upright and mount them in the lofts of my woodshop/shed.
lovely and simple but strong enough for the job..well done
Love the old jazz. So good.
very good wood storage. well tidied up is half worked. I am glad that you wear my t-shirt😊
Thanks Lukas! And thanks again for the shirt, I love it! :)
You make even the mot utilitarian of projects into a great video! Thanks Neil!
Lot of nice wood there Neil & nice strong Shelve Brackets You Designed !
Excellent Job!
I loved the different view of your shop. I really enjoy your vids
Gotta love Australia, a snake in the workshop 😂
Great build, btw!
The shelf looks very stable. Looks good. Greetings Martin👍👍👍👍
Thanks Martin - It held my weight and didn't budge at all (and I was standing on the front edge)! :)
So nicely done! And what a great wood collection 👍
The ultimate in racking for wood storage. Brilliant video mate and I love the bit at the end. Comical 😁
Great job Neil!!! 😁🌲
I've heard that there aren't many venomous snakes in Australia; they've all been eaten by the spiders. In New Zealand, we only have one species of venomous spider. The katipo is critically endangered, and the last person to die from a katipo bite did so in 1901. I love living in the Shaky Isles, where the only things that are trying to kill you are the weather and the landscape. My own stupidity I can do something about, mostly by learning from sensible, knowledgeable people such as your good self! Cheers from across the Ditch, thanks for sharing your skills and ingenuity!
Amazing work!
Nice satisfying feeling getting that organised! Looks great.
It really is Nick! :)
Geez, that's a fair bit of wood, need to get building 😂 Another great video! See you in a couple weeks at the Wood Expo
If it didn't take so long to film projects I could get more projects done and use more wood! ;) lol, looking forward to meeting up mate! :)
Mate, that's a really big shed. I envy the space. I have a single garage with a low roof and it has to hold bikes as well.
I'm planning on opening the shed up and using the other side too, this is only half of it. Not sure when I'll get around to that though. :)
Excellent job, well done my friend, all at arms reach.. 👍🏼😊
Looks alot better
Another excellent project! Thank you Neil. I always admire your table saw push stick...maybe a future video with a drawing?
Thanks Warren! I may do something along those lines at some point! :)
That sorted that mess out nicely. Now you have more room and can find things.
+1 for bugle battens, king of screws.
Awesome video & cracking outro music, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Sam! :)
Simple solution...I love it!
Good work nice t-shirt
😎🇱🇺
That is a really cool shop bud! Cool video, like always!
Thanks mate! :)
Nice music choice! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks James! Choosing music is always a difficult task. :)
Very good job 👍
That's one good looking stash of wood there, mate👍
Simple but sturdy rack 👌
I bet you're glad that skin was empty....
That's only part of the collection Bill. I have wood stored in a few places. :)
Pask Makes I can only imagine, mate.
Awesome! Wish I had room for such rack.
Great design!
Genius!! Love it. Project for this summer,(July).
Great rack snakes are something we have to live with regularly see them around my shed farmland one side state forest the other not many mice though
Thanks Reg - that's the plus side! ;)
Thanks for sharing !
good job pal 🔨🔨
Very clever. Thank you.
That was some really nice editing at the end.
Thanks very much! :)
I am so jealous of your wood
Great project!
Great video, as always!
Thanks mate! :)
Good job on the lumber rack friend! Thanks for sharing the video.😎👍JP
That timber should dry nicely in the hotbox that is the aussie tin shed. :)
It's a great place to season wood, in the summer I can only handle about a minute or so up there, it's pretty intense! :)
Top job on the rack Neil. Thats an awesome space you have up there mate.
Thanks Vic! It's not too bad but it's in need of some tidying and organising! :)
Good stuff, nice music at the end.
Good job.I have rack made in a similar way.
What is the issue with the roundover? less wetted glue area? I plan on doing something similar to this for garage shelving, I still need to learn to rely on glue more.
I made some light duty wood racks a while back out of pallet beams and ex-trampoline frame galvanized tube a while back, cut holes in the pallet beams with a forstner bit on a ~5 degree angle and thumped the tubes in, the hollow tube is great for storing dowel and spiders eggs, and if you are keen you can drill loads of holes to add or remove tubes supports around for higher wood piles or easier access.
It would work fine without removing the roundovers. But by removing them it keeps all the joints tight and uses the whole 3/4" of the board to resist the joint moving. Your rack sounds great! :)
Great job!
Jeje me gustó mucho la prueba de carga, muchas veces también la he utilizo yo esa misma o similares versiónes.,👏👏👏👏
Gracias! :)
Hey like your "Simply Wood Rack" but can I share mine with you? We Have 6 in total (8', 12' & 16' long) made this way. Take a 4" X 4" X 12' or as long as you want. Start at one one bore a 1 1/8" through hole on a 5 degree angle , rinse and repeat all the way up with all your 4" X 4"'s. Nail/staple a strip of 1/2" plywood on back. Place each one along your rack wall spaced whatever distance you deem (ours are spaced about 20" apart) Cut 20-30 pcs of 3/4" Black pipe 30" long or so. Place pipes in holes. Presto you have a one sided cantilever wood rack that supports A LOT of WEIGHT. Our shop has over 8,000 BdFt of Hardwood lumber stacked on these racks and have not failed us yet!!
Great job mate. It's satisfying to finally see the floor of your own workshop isn't it ? :p
It certainly is mate! :)
Nice, thanks for the ideas. Handy having a snake or two around to keep mice out of the shop
Just so long as it's not a Brown Snake. Aggressive buggers. Green Tree Snakes and Carpet Pythons I'll have any day.
Yes, fortunately we don't see too many browns! We mainly see tree snakes, pythons and the odd red bellied black, there was cool little whip snake on the verandah last week. There's a huge python that's been hanging around for a few years, around 4 metres or so, I always imagine it's the same one but I may be wrong. :)
The trick to a good lumber rack is that if you use enough wood to make it then you won't have a pile of wood anymore
That’s one hell of huge workshop...I feel so sorry for your lack of space...!!...no doubt the snake disagrees...😳
Its already almost full. Time to build another rack.
simple and great 👍
Love your videos!
Thanks Henry! :)
Great idea!
nice job....sturdy..i like it...keep up the good work...
Hi Neil
You are without doubt the saviour of woodwork videos on youtube, however . . .
no need to call it lumber like the Americans, just call it timber or wood like you do in your everyday life.
Any Americans watching will know what the deal is
Robert
Thanks Robert! I'm not really sure why I called it a lumber rack, sometimes I call it a wood rack sometimes a timber rack, this time it was a lumber rack. ;)
So tidy! Snakey stacks... watch out!
Cleans up nice👍
Your table saw sounds like Darth vader saying no
Great job Neil, thanks for showing me the trick of wedging 2 blocks inside the steel 'C' section for securing the rack - I can definitely use that!!
I have a shed that is 5.5m tall, thinking about a mezzanine - did you build your own?
Thanks again for a great video.
No worries - glad it was helpful! I did build the mezzanine, your shed would be better as it's a little taller than mine (4.5m if I remember correctly) I can stand up straight in the middle(on the mezzanine) but the wall were the new rack is I have to stoop a little! :)
That snake's skin reminds me that you live in Australia.
Good design 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
very nice!!
Thanks Carlos! :)
weel organized
Wow! Nice shop! ..why no framing square when gluing up the struts for your rack? I've been thinking about a rack that was self classifying as long as you throw your scraps in at the top, if it's not big enough to be useful, nothing will stop it from falling all the way down into dumpster.
That would be cool! ;)
Very nice. Please explain your chop saw technique? at 1:21 and subsequent, you saw thin wide boards with several "draws" across the width of the board instead of just lowing the saw entirely and drawing it once. Then, at 4:26, a taller narrower board you drop the blade completely in and draw it once for each cut. Why don't you cut everything like this? Thanks
Thanks Greg! It's just something that has evolved over time. I find if the wood is hard or particularly thick then I take passes, it stops the saw from bogging down and keeps the blade running top speed. With the second cuts you pointed out, they were on very soft pine so it cut straight through easily. I'm not suggesting this is the best method but it works well for me. :)
Good build and loved the humor!
Did you ever run across the snake?
Thanks! We see a fair few snakes in summer but I wouldn't know if I'd seen that actual one! :)
Brilliant work, I always had issues with how i was going to get a lumber rack into my shed (its metal walled like your workshop) I ended up building a floor standing rack, I have to reconsider now! Out of curiosity do you do anything for ear protection of the dogs? I always see videos of people having their dogs in the shop and I dont know if im just being a wimp by not letting mine come around my tools due to the noise.
I've never thought about the dogs hearing but they do have access to outside at the rear of the workshop. They never seem to leave though when I do make a noise. I was making some wooden threads a couple of weeks ago and one of the blanks I turned was a touch to wide, when I cut the threads it was squeaking and the dogs went wild but they still didn't leave, just barked at me. :)
Oh.. just happened to find a snake skin here.... Every non-Australian would be running out of there screaming in terror.
You gonna use that snake skin in your next build
I never thought of that! ;)
I like the strong design and I like how you locked the top into the channel. Now, if Jenni is a pretty girl, why haven't you had her in a video!
Glad you liked that! Jenni is another maker on CZcams, his name is Lukas and his channel is JENNI.SWISS. You should check it out, he makes great videos czcams.com/channels/6By2dBlmhqcuSMPf3K7TMg.html :)
Nice Rack Neil, and nicely documented :)
Great idea that, very neat. Can I ask what accent is that you have?
Thanks James! Midlands UK. :)
Nice rack design. I like how you have the timber upstairs. Faster seasoning in summer? :)
Absolutely Nathan! :)
Was there a logic for using two blocks at the top, or was it just a matter of "easy fitment"?
Just a shed snake skin? Since you're in Australia, would have expected you to come across five or six deadly spiders in a project like that.
Yes, there are plenty of spiders around too! ;)
You seem to get quite a few snakes in and around your shop. That would make me nervous to go looking through my own piles of crap to get the one piece of timber I know I have which I also know is at the bottom of the pile. Oh I get it now, that's why you built the timber racks 😂
Kuffys Woodwork . The red back spiders are actually something you need to worried about more. Aussies seems to get used to it.
We don't get too many. Honestly they don't worry me they generally don't hang around when there's any noise. But you do have to be aware when you looking through piles of wood etc, if I lift a board or sheet material off the ground I would always lift the far edge away from me. :)
4:45 is where i'd probably take a torch to the whole place or just run and never look back. That creeps me out, man.
+Piet Muijs I'm from Melbourne working with structural pine all day building timber roof trusses. I come across a new redback spider each week. They don't worry me much, though one of these days one of the little buggers will bite one of my fingers.
Отличное видео
Отличный канал
Мастер молодец
Успехов в делах 👍👍👍👍
спасибо! :)
cool
C'est bien ranger maintenant.
Ótimo trabalho! Like.
Very good work! Do you have any idea how much weight they bear?
Oh nice! How does a snake even get up there?
Snakes are great climbers, a tree snake would get up there in a seconds! :)
Why does it always have to be SNAKES? Good luck Indy
👍👍👍👏
Looks like a new home for the python
I was wondering why don't you cut on the chop saw in one pass?
If you mean rip the edge on the tablesaw, it was because the lengths were nearly 4 metres and had a bow in them. Better to cut to length and then rip the edges off. :)
No, I mean the chop saw. The cut off saw, not the table saw. You made multiple passes when cutting the board to lengths.
Ah I see, I don't really now why I do that but it just seems to cut better to me and just something that's evolved. It doesn't bog the saw down, so keeps the it running fast. Especially with hard timber. :)
I see. Thanks.
Does the Blackbutt have a higher strength rating than using 19mm ply for the "arms". I can imagine ply, being pine, might compress at the joint, whereas Blackbutt isn't likely to compress much as it's so dense.
Think I just answered my own question. ;p
Nice rack Neil. (never thought I'd say that to a bloke)
Haha - thanks Damo! I reckon solid hardwood would be better as all the grain is going in the right direction where plywood half of the grain would be going in the wrong direction. I reckon it would still work ok though. :)

Good sir, this is all brilliant stuff. But. Could you please make an old bloke happy and lay your plane down on its side, not the bottom? A thousand and one thanks.
