Looks like it will hold a lot more weight than most things you could put on it. Gaining that extra space below opens the work space and must be a lot easier to keep clean. Nice work.
I like the use of threaded rods on shelves. Any guess on how much weight the 2x4s in the attic holding the rods can handle? I know this might sound like over kill but i would be tempted to use 4x4s just to be extra safe. I do tend to not trust lumber weight capacities for some reason. I love the idea of this shelf so i can roll my table saw underneath it.
Nice work here! Thanks for posting. Have you had any issues with the exposed ends of the threaded rods? I'd be worried about a kid running under those lower shelves and getting scratched. What would you do to finish those off? Grind them down to the nut...or maybe cap them off with a closed-end nut?
I was googling threaded rod shelf for bathroom (above the washing machine), and this was among the results, so great video for further planning!
This is an awesome method
This is a great idea for being able to fit our new van in the garage but still have storage in that location.

Loved this idea as I will have to do them at some point in my new home.
Shelves came out great..
I love this series. Thanks for sharing.
I like it! This is how I'm going to do some shelves!
I think I'm going to be doing something like this in my garage. I like how you use the 2x4s in the attic to bolt the shelves in place.
If anyone is looking for em they’re called serrated flange nuts. 3/8” nuts for 3/8 rod obviously or whatever size u choose
Nice! I personally would add a center 2x4 brace board to the top shelf. It's been my experience plywood warps and sags with large unbraced areas.
I predrilled center holes to add another threaded rod if need be. So far, so good.
Well done, I am thinking of doing something similar.

No, but we don't have young kids. You could add a cap over the threads.
I recommend checking out these plans. I am a woodglut customer and I am very happy with the plans they offer
