I've been looking for a video like this for months. I have a 9' wide closet and can't find a shelf kit that I like or that will fit. I want to put a on each side two rods at top two rods at the bottom and maybe 3 1.5' wide shelves in the center with a 9' shelf across the top rod. Any ideas how to do the shelf in the center and connect rods to it?
I am building a closet with very heavy shelves. Do you think is okay to use studs 1 1/2 " by 3 1/2 " nailed to the wall? studs go along the wall (width). I know that size of studs can easily support the heavy shelves. However, I am concern that the weight of the studs would make them to come off from the wall (studs are nailed to the studs hidden behind the drywall).
+39LEGOTO __ As you probably know, regular 1x2 lumber used as ledger boards is very bulky looking. If I were building the shelves that were to carry a heavy load, I'd use 1x6 pine and use three nails (or screws) on each stud. The 3/4 inch thickness of the 1x6 is more than adequate to carry heavy loads. I have such a multi-shelf set up in my garage that I built 25 years ago. It carries lumber, heavy boxes, power tools and a portable table saw. The key is to support the front of the shelves with heavy duty brackets, and/or attach to the ceiling or rafters.
+Aaron Hager __ Per my understanding, you want at least half of the nail to go into the stud. If the ledger board is 3/4 inch and the drywall is 1/2 inch, a 2.5 inch nail should be good.
Very smart
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you, thank you for making this video!. Exactly what I was looking for!
Good job! Looks nice. Thanks for the video!
Amazing work ! so simple and yet so logic and solid. i will follow your work and do the same for my closet . I need a husband who can work like you♥
what size nails/brads did you use?
Can your Le nail gun go through brick? I have brick directly behind my sheetrock in my closet.
What
size shelves did you buy
Great video! I love it when people get right to the point. :-) What do you do if there are no studs on the 24" walls except the corners?
Amazing job you did!!! Ama put this on practice!!!
Thank you, now I know where to start

What type of wood is that you used for a shelf?
What is that gun thing?

Thanks looks great, I can do that...off to Home Depot
Did that staple gun shoot nails?
So you don't need a Stud Finder, screws, or nothing. Just nails and the boards on the outside?
I don't do construction for a living and even I have a cheap electronic stud finder.
Are those 1"x3"s?
+Omar Rodriguez __ Looks like 1x4s.
what kind of drill do you have?
seems easy but its rather plain and inexpensive looking. its a good idea if your renting or a temporary living arrangement
what size nail in the nail gun should you use for mounting those base pieces?
+Aaron Hager __ Per my understanding, you want at least half of the nail to go into the stud. If the ledger board is 3/4 inch and the drywall is 1/2 inch, a 2.5 inch nail should be good.
thanks for the tip!
Good job though
Good to see that the woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
just do it yourself , go to woodprix page and turn your idea to reality.
Why would you use nails would have thought screws would have been better
Le nailgun
This time I'll use WoodPrix instructions to make it by myself.
I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
No level needed lol
