    In this video I'm tacking some efficient storage for a bike! Check out how I built a wall mounted bike rack, that swivels to move the bike flush with the wall and out of the way. This is a very easy build with big organization results. Check it out!

    Hey April, you can also use a box/closed end wrench to tighten those L brackets into the wall. Just a thought for anyone that thinks that might be easier.
    Thanks for another great video.

    omg this is exactly what I was describing to my wife as a design for a guitar rack, except for many guitars - the image I had in my mind was going to the store as a kid and flipping through posters at store displays. You've built something that exceeds weight requirements (average bike vs average guitar) so all I need to do is measure out how much room per how many guitars I've got and test a couple builds to make sure they'll hold up/work as desired.
    Thanks for sharing this, I'm showing it to my wife rn so I don't have to draw a picture later... :-)

    Recently I had a similar idea, except I plan to use an old seatbelt from the junkyard. Mounting the seatbelt to a ceiling joist and putting on a hook that will attach to the center of the handlebar, lifting up the bike and then letting it go quickly should engage the seatbelt's locking mechanism. Then slightly lifting the bike and gently lowering it should allow me to take it down again easily. In case anyone else is inspired by this, keep in mind that the several seatbelts I have tested this idea with all locked up when they were held upside down or at too much of an angle. So either find one that's supposed to be mounted in whatever position fits your build, or change your design accordingly.
    But if my seatbelt idea turns out not to work as well as I intended, I now have an excellent fallback plan :)

    These are really cool, you can buy brackets to do this but I've wanted to make some nice timber ones too. You can put a couple of guide blocks on the wall for the rear wheel so it doesn't swing around but that's more important with multiple bikes.

    Hey- April Wilkerson- you could also mount these on those steel storage racks on the uprights. My storage racks are secured to the wall studs in my garage and the fold out feature of this bike rack still gives me access to the contents on the racks! The racks have holes already drilled and they sell those brackets with bolt ends too rather than screw ends. Great design!

  • @andrewb9595
    @andrewb9595 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I love this idea and I just had an interesting idea to modify it for my own space. The rack itself would remain the same, but different mounting. Instead of using a hinged mechanism, you could flip the blocks on the back and mount angled (french cleat style) rails on the wall VERTICALLY for the bracket to be held inside with a stop block at the bottom. This would act like a track for the bike rack to move up and down on. This way you could rack your bike and using a rope and pulley, hoist the rack (w/ bike) up the wall and completely out of the way. Tie off the rope to a cleat and your done. When you want to use the bike, undo the rope from the cleat, let it slide down the wall until it hits the stop block and you're ready to pull it off the rack and be on your way.

    • @leonardoxiao

  • @mrt5342
    @mrt5342 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not just another pretty face. Fantastic setup. Made that look easy, and super practical. Nice touch with the 45's on the back - small enough detail, but pays large dividends with saving space!
    I'm not a fan of the bike hook, for prolonged periods of time. I know they've been around for years, and I know bike shops use them for days, but the thought of all of the bikes weight, on a half inch (or less) section of rim, pulling against a piece of hardened steel, for an extended period of time, is not a pleasant one. I'm probably being pedantic, but then again, I am a bike rider. Your solution definitely solves the weight distribution "concern"!! 👏👏👏
    This may be the multiple bike solution I've been looking for.

    I made something similar to hold our 6 bikes. I have a 2x4 vertically to keep the back tire with the front and to keep tire marks off my white wall. Two door hinges per 2x4 to swing and be close to the wall. A small hook and eye on each one to help hang and remove bikes. I have the bikes staggered up and down a foot to take up less space.

    @roosterandco 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I have a commercial solution that does this exactly, great DIY! From that rack, I learned that if you add a v-block for the bottom tire, it'll keep the bike more 'vertical' when it's stored swiveled against the wall. Don't know if you *need* it, but I think it helps swivel back to perpendicular when you go to take the bike down.

    Take a scrap piece of 2x, cut it as wide as the mount and just set it on top of the lower wall mount block. This will lock it in place when you want to get the bike on and off. Attach a string to it and let it hang when it's swiveled to the side.

    The only improvements to this I can see are:

    2. Using metal straps to secure all the wood joints better

    aside from agreeing with the possibility of angle bracket corners or some reinforcement (as many 2 x s are weak or warped etc), the only thing i wish you would do is couple another bracket beside it for another bike. I would be most currious the overal space saved when two pivot sideways but are close enough to somewhat nest.
