Zak lad. You have smashed it once again. What a fantastic idea. Just the job for this 74 yr old retired engineer who is rapidly running out of space in his18.feet x 8feet garage .
A good reason to go and get more stuff! 😉Fantastic solution for us "over 50" guys who have way too much stuff, not enough storage and need a reason to go to the hardware store.
there is a video called Every Grunt from Home Improvement if you need to play it in the car on the way to the hardware store
I purchased the plans and his description as "detailed" is spot on. Twenty three pages color and countless measurements. Excellent list of "needed" supplies with links to get many of the items. One of the best plan sets i have obtained in some time.
I'm new here and went right to your store... man what a guy for setting your prices the way they are. That helps the mind say yes I can do that. Hats off to you sir
Having used Unistrut/equivalents for years in my day job, I love when it gets used for home stuff.
With the strut, we typically run a file over the cut ends to remove burrs, then hit it with some spray galv. You can get a couple different types to roughly match matt vs shiny galv on the strut.
Also, if framing timber is ridiculously expensive, the entire frame can be made out of strut too.
You can also get plastic end caps
I’d build a storage platform on top if there’s space above in your shop.
Also protects those protruding rails a bit more. And strip of light because the platform might make it a bit more dark.
Overall: What a great use of space! This looks both great and very practical.
Even if there isnt 'storage space' above, still might be helpful to add a top skin just to keep 'things' from getting up in there. Might also be good to put a very thin sheet between the 'drawers' so things cant shift around in there and get stuck.
Great Idea. I imagine that in most for a lot of people they won't even need the top frame because their garage ceiling isn't more than 8' and they could just lag bolt the channels directly into their ceiling joists. .
Good point! I might be doing this 😁
Although I don't look forward to putting rawl bolts in my concrete garage roof slab...
I'd like to see more of the jigs and stuff you've created. Especially anything 3d printed.
Harbor Freight has a set of Brad point drill bits that are made for wood and for less than twenty bucks a set you can’t beat them. They have a very sharp point on them that will allow you to start drilling holes exactly where your mark is without any runoff.
One day I will have a workshop worth this level of effort. Thanks bro. King.
This makes me want to tear down the shelving I’ve put in my garage. I’m both happy and a bit upset.. great build idea!
I was thinking the same thing before I saw this comment
I'd absolutely like to see more on the jigs you've created; including your process (software, design, etc). Sweet project btw! Now I am thinking about changing my plan from building vertical cabinets to these. 2x cabinets takes up comparable space, but this is just cool. Also, blew my mind with the laser for the nails. WHY HAVENT I THOUGHT OF THAT!?! FREAKING DUH.
What a wonderful design Zack. For the last couple of days I've been redesigning my shop/ garage (co-shared with my car) to become more efficient and lo-and-behold your video popped up on my subscription list. Your well thought out design appears, with a slight height adjustment , to be a perfect replacement for the inefficient shelves that now occupy precious space. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
Every time he says “rocksolid” put a dollar in a jar. By the end of the video you can buy the materials.
take a drink every time he says "now" and you'll need rehab
Most CZcamsrs are guilty of that for the phrase “Go Ahead” / “went ahead” I counted over 50 in ONE video once😂
You'd have more money if you use the word "NOW!"😂
Great build! Love me some unistrut. Two things: I think you can get taller profile unistrut which means you can skip the hanging brackets (unless that's easier!), and you could use peg board instead of 1/4" ply on the ends if you somehow still had more junk to store!!
Great Ideas! This is my first time using unistrut in a build. I didn't know there are options out there. Might have to look into those next time. I didn't think of the peg board either that would be a great cheap option as well!
@@BearMountainBuilds a while back I started to go down the rabbit-hole of the Unistrutverse. There is real plethora of accessories and fittings, things like feet and post bases to trolleys and elbows. If you start to look thru a catalog, you'll find yourself stuck in the unistrutverse, just imagining the endless possibilities of new projects and ideas. Be warned lol.
Unistrut is the definition of modular customization. I guess you could say I also love me some unistrut
😆
@@BearMountainBuilds yeah if you’re tucking the cabinet in a specific space the peg board wouldn’t add anything… the plywood looks nice and clean. But hey customizing is good!!
Wow! This is badass. What a great design. I’m in the middle of setting up my shop in my two car garage after a tree took it out and ready to maximize space and set it up nicely. I was going to build the standard cabinet but after seeing this I’m all in. Thanks for the video, very creative stuff.
I didn't realize that there was storage on both sides. That's awesome!
I love the design. Will come back to your plans when I can finally build my own workshop. Keep up
The great work 👏👏👍
NOW, these look great. Might have to customize it a bit for my shop, but base is cool. NOW, l’m gonna finish watching.
NOW that's something I can agree with. NOW back to the video.
My mate took a shot each time he said NOW!
He died
Very neat build! Thinking I might put french cleats on the front too. If you are building against the wall in a garage, don't forget to account for the slope towards your garage door(s).
we have a wine store in our area that utilizes the same system for customer pickup orders! Great way to store lots, with a little footprint.
Exceptional work. I’ve been looking to build a small shelf for my cordless tools and one for clamps. As my space isn’t infinite maybe I’ll go this route instead. Seems like a great space saver.
A piece of 1x across the front to close off the tracks would give it a more finished look and a spot for some lighting (never enough light)
I’ve made similar storage solutions of various types but I never tried to support from top. I support from bottom on rollers, and guide at the top. The biggest was in a 20’ storage container with shelves that rolled together/apart to form passage, resting on steel ‘v’ rollers on angle iron. Very smooth
I love the design/idea. As an engineer, the thing I'd be a bit worried about is how you connect the front/back to the middle divider, which is also what's connected to the rails above (and thus carrying all the load). You're relying soley on glue and brad nails to transfer the load from the front/back (which hold the shelves) to the rail. While glue is quite strong, and screws into plywood end grain is not, I would still fire some screws in there to reinforce the brad nails (which do almost nothing in shear).
Great video!
Glue is better in shear than most hardware which is why I'm banking on it, but definitely could add some screws for piece of mind
im ordering this to use in my kitchen as a pantry
I agree this would make a great pantry, and could be scaled bigger or smaller to fit the space.
Alton Brown had a pantry in his "Good Eats" set organized like this. I've always said I'd do it the next time I'm willing to accept the pain of home renovation :-).
Yes @ 14:32-went to the site. That pin set is good its compact for on the site work.
I prefer to use wheels at the bottom with tracks for guide rail at the top. Hanging heavy cabinets for long period of time wear the mechanism and suddenly you will find the cabinets sagging and hitting the bottom part.
I was really blown away by this at first. I love the idea, but after thinking it through, why hang the rails in a garage? It seems it'd be easier and cost less to make a cabinet like carcass and put the pull out shelves on fixed casters. Could use a miter slot and to make sure it goes in and out smoothly and can't tip over. Use a cross piece recessed at the bottom as a stop for the caster wheel. Only weight limit would be the caster capacity.
This idea would be awesome if you have uneven floors or something but I can't see the benefit in hanging vs rolling on quality casters in a normal garage.
Really appreciate your work and inspiring me.
You answered your own question. Uneven floors, stuff on the floors, etc. The unistrut and trolleys are definitely more expensive, so if you have a nice clean, level, smooth surface, then wheels would definitely be a more economical option.
Great build! There are really expensive metal ones, but this is convenient to make, thanks!
I assembled something similar to that: chrome wire shelves with wheels. Cost about 300 for 4 units, each full of movable shelves. I roll them out, select my whatever, and roll them back, just like you do. And they're not built in, so when I move, they move with me!
The simplicity of this for its practicality must be the best storage I've seen. I'm still building out my small shop space and this is the perfect solution.
I'm curious if the top could support enough weight to also serve as additional shelving for larger, less needed items in tubs.
Definitely could be used as a shelf if you mount some plywood to the top frame.
Good solution for effortless opening and closing. If you have a level floor, wheels on the bottom of the shelfs would almost result in the same functionality. As you would not want guides on the floor extending past the shelf depth, you need to guide them back when moved out fully, however, you would save the effort of building the frame.
I was skeptical of the overhead rollers. However, the additional metal strips are an excellent way to support the weight.
Great design and top idea but why not install channels on floor before securing to wall?🇦🇺
@davidharnett5640 I am going to speculate that having the channels on the floor will:
1. Bind up, getting stuck. The bearings might not be strong enough.
2. The wheels and bearings will get dirty. The opening of the channel will allow dust, dirt, and greasy grime into the channel, resulting in premature failure of the wheels and bearings.
3. I was expecting channels similar to drawer slides when this started. However, if the wheels are of proper quality and strength, the overhead will last longer solely because of minimal dust accumulations.
4. The extra strip of metal that was bolted in line with the wheel on the top provided the extra support needed to suspend the weight by spreading the clamping forces out, not just one attachment point.
I hope my points clarified what might have been confusing.
@@lourias think you missed my point. Happy with overhead channels but don’t you think it would be simpler to install them while frame is on the floor rather than working overhead to install them? David
@@davidharnett5640 I apologize.
I've seen glued 2x4s break apart at the glue seam way too easily. Good that you don't scrimp on the screws.
Nice build, got me thinking.
Overkill is how I like to build
This is awesome! I need more BMB content! Sleek and Easy design. Makes me excited for my home projects!
Great vision and execution!!! Small fortune in wood and hardware……..
But much cheaper than buying something similar
Yes. Jigs are always cool to see (and often buy) when others solve problems I've come up against. Do it!
Great video and super useful project. Thx! Just a couple of quibbles: It would be great if you emphasized wearing eye protection while using ANY type of power nailer. Same with hearing protection.
Great design. I've used these tracks for lighting in a church, but the application is genius. Thanks
This video has been a greatest surprises has ever see. I need some stuff like this in my embrodery room. I have a very little workshop in my house, but i don't have the skills, tools, space and budget for this.
I'm so sad😢. Well job and hugs from Spain.
When I first saw the thumbnail and title of this video, I thought "How is this any more storage than a cabinet?". But, after watching the whole video, I am thinking that perhaps I'll pull out some of my cabinets and replace them with these pullouts. I still need cabinets for larger items, but these could store a lot of my smaller stuff. The biggest feature is not having to take stuff out of the front of a cabinet to get to the stuff in the back. The other design I've seen is where instead of pulling out, the shelves can slide to the side to make an isle between the shelves. I like your construction technique too.
Just watched this video.... I am sold on this idea... I dig it!
I want to give this one a shot.
I've been using used metal filing cabinets to store my power tools because they are dirt cheap and tough. My single metal locker holding all of my paints etc is just not cutting it though so I'm keen to improve my storage.
I've been tossing up this pullout approach vs a compactus. Both have advantages and I need to weigh it up.
I think a compactus would be a super cool project for you to do for a tool/woodshop storage actually :).
Hola Hola acabo de descubrir tu canal y ya me suscribí. Me encantó tu trabajo, tan prolijo y como te quedó de maravilla. Me fascina tu taller porque se ve muy iluminado, ordenado, limpio y todo ubicado en su lugar. No entiendo nada de lo que dices (jajajaja) pero si entiendo todo lo que haces. Muchas Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de enseñarnos tu trabajo. FELICITACIONES. Te envío un abrazo desde Lima Perú.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video!
Holy cow! I just found you. I decided to buy the plans. $8? Seriously? I was expecting the plans to cost so much more! Wow! New subscriber here. I am definitely going to be checking out all of your other videos and plans! Wow!
Great build. The plans are reasonably priced as well. Currently building my small shop and will be ordering these plans when I am ready. Thanks for the video and effort.
Genius! One of the best storage solutions. And, you did an amazing job of making them.
Nice build. I believe I would hide the overhead rails as well. Maybe enclose them with only slots for trolleys and some lighting installed in the enclosure.
I'm buying this plan for my daughter for her pantry.
I want to try this but probably six wide with angle supports at each end, add a shelf on the top for more storage, and install hangers on each side.
Weird optical illusion. The shelves look much deeper than the side of the storage compartment.
Yes exactly, initially I thought great but I can't sink mine in the wall. 😂
Had to use a wider angle lens to capture the whole thing but it does add a slight curve to the image
That’s fake. Behind the wooden wall he has a whole warehouse with minions managing the shelves everytime he pulls them out
I love this and would like to build it for my one car garage shop as space is very limited.
But I just want to thank you for the absolutely great price on your plans. Being in South Africa, paying in Dollars is a bit of an issue as 1 Dollar is about 20 Rand. So thank you for making it so affordable even for us. 👍 Keep on the great work man.
I like the part where you put a lot of thought and engineering into the side frames, overlapping 2Xs and created lap joints. then held up the entire top section (the part that holds all the weight) with 12 lag bolts, no half laps on the tops or reinforcement.
Yeah, that was disappointing. But otherwise I love the design.
In my case, I’m not sure I’d need the top section. I’d think I could just bolt those metal rails into the floor joists above me (there’s living space above my garage, so the joists can take the load… it’s not just rafters holding up a ceiling).
@@brendancurtin679I was thinking the same thing, I'm just curious can we put a load like that on the rafters? It's a fair amount of weight
I thought about doing the half laps but decided the two lag screws would be enough strength for the build. Usually, if I ever have to depend on the shear strength of hardware in my builds I use lag screws and I haven't had any issues
Very nice!!!
I'm fitting out a barn for storage of woodworking tools and boating supplies and storage, and this design will really come in handy!
That's a hell of a build!! Its strong and very, very useful!! Great for my workspace also because I have a low ceiling. Great work!!
I have done similar to yours, but, a little different, where I have bought shelves and put wheels on them so that I can just pull the shelves out. I just have to make sure that I have the heavy stuff on the bottom shelving so that they do not fall over while pulling them out.
I love the build design of this and want to put it in my garage. The concrete foundation sticks out from the corners that would prevent it to be flush against the wall.
You could do some 2x4 spacers between the frame and the wall to get away from the foundation
To reduce the possibility of the wood spliting, offset the screws along the grain rather than in a line along the grain
This definitely gives me ideas for my weirdly deep pantry. How does it do with side to side wobble, since it's only being supported on one point at the top? Like if I were to do this for something with regular use like a pantry, should I add two wheels that extend out to the edges to give it stability as it slides? I also think making the track system blend in with the house could be tricky, but I'm sure something could be done about that
Great build, lots of storage.
Thanks for sharing.
Right up my alley… just subscribed. The video for this project is perfect and still leaves room for imagination of other (non-screw fasteners) joinery methods. Jointer, planer, Dominos, half laps, dowels….etc. Well done!!
I really like this design - I'm building something similar to hold 3D printer filament (all regular size boxes). My pull outs use two drawer slides on one side, so only one side is open, and the weight is handled not by hanging but by two inline fixed direction casters.
I bought your plans. They’re a work of art and look like they’ll be easy to use. Thanks.
How do you buy the plans and HOW MUCH did you pay? (From WHERE exactly, I still haven't figured that out yet.)
hi! are the plans only in the imperial system or are there metric values in there as well?
Never noticed the subscribe button highlighted when you mention it before - nice touch! maybe youtube added it...
Great idea. It would have been perfect in my previous house. 😊 good work.👍
Heck of a Build Brother. Totally love it. Will be seeing one of these in a shop near me very soon. Thanks for the plans. Ordered a few and for a few FREE!! We like Free!!! Thanks.
Hey, I'M new to this. Where do I get the FREE plans (how do I down load them) HELP PLEASE....
Not free but very reasonably priced.
This is fantastic. I have been working on a similar design for a totally different function that being to store my firewood on racks. I love this design though and may try it in my shop. Thanks buddy.
You make wood working look so easy😊
Very cool idea! Also love the 3d printed designs. I bet if you had a ceiling, the cantruss could be mounted to the rafters - like in a basement shop.
Great idea for the Shop or Pantry.. Just bought it.
That is amazing! I need something similar in my "garage shop"!
Great video and thank you for pricing the plans like you have. I think they’re a tremendous value.
This is a great looking storage solution that would work great in my garage~!! So much gear in such a compact space. I'll probably be picking up this plan from your website. Great job~!!
I too would like to see content about 3D printed projects~!
Thanks much~!
This is cool. I'd love to see you make one that slides side to side like the Levrack for a fraction of the cost.
If only you can Trade Mark “Rock solid”. Nice build
Really great design and storage solution! Awesome video as usual.
New subscriber! Awesome project. Gives me a wide variety of uses in different applications.
Great job be back for the plans for sure, just getting ideas for shop organization got a new being built
This is feeling like one of those small shop builds, that you need a fully kitted out big shop to build
Could build this in a driveway with a circular saw. Just takes longer
Thanks! I purchased the plans. I’m looking forward to this build and getting my small shop organized.
I love your storage concept. I am thinking about how to incorporate it into my garage storage area.
What a great idea and space saver. I love it
What a great build. Off to the lumber store!
Like this concept. . . thanks. BTW you should shoot your brad nails perpendicular to the plywood below (16:11) to prevent nails from blowing out the side
Great idea and video! Just picked up the plans and looking forward to building it!
I like this storage so much
What an amazing build getting ready to move but definitely going to get your plans and build a set of these in my new place. Thanks for sharing.
Keep doing what's you are doing. I love your ideas and builds. By all means, share any and all jig ideas. Just bought your plans for the sliding 2 X 5 storage genius.
I was thinking about this almost exactly for my little shop. Thanks now I don't have to design it lol great minds
You make things look so easy. Great video
Clever design and everything is so neat. Congrats!
Great build and space saving design. 👍
the best storage ever👍
This is an excellent video, incredibly valuable and insightful. Well done!
Would also like to see the 3D printed items. they would also be helpful.
I’d really love a ceiling mounted, horizontal version. I just have to figure out what would be strong enough to support the weight and pull down/push up easily…and reasonably economical. Hydraulic, wench, ???
ropes, pulleys, counterweights. For the counterweights, a suitable rod that can have extra weight pieces added as the load on the shelf unit gets heavier. Weights might be, say, 4" diameter steel 3" thick, and a slot cut from outside to centre that fits over the rod
@@paullalekna5478 Great suggestions…can’t wait until the weekend to work on sketching out a few possibilities. I’d thought about maybe a ratchet system, but counterweight makes much more sense! Thanks.
Interested in the dado blade, but the majority of saws sold in the EU don't have a long enough arbor to accommodate.
Really nice idea! I'll definitely be using your plans
Pretty damn impressive! This is worth it just to organize my hardware. Thanks so much!
