Super Strong Lumber Storage Rack | How To Build
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ธ.ค. 2020
- I've been tripping over a pile of lumber on the garage floor for a while now, and I decided it was time to change that - so I built a super strong lumber storage rack to hang on the wall. This was a very easy build and I was able to use up a ton of my plywood offcuts in the process! Be sure to check out the project page (link below) if you want to make a set of these storage racks!

Hey everyone, thank you so much for watching! If you want to make these shelf brackets yourself, be sure to check out the downloadable plans here - gum.co/zGKgkW
The ability to use scraps and really only need to buy glue, screws and some lag bolts is fantastic!
Right?! That's definitely a huge bonus!
You are a genius my man! the most simple designs are the hardest to think of so respect for coming up with something so simple but usefull and strong at the same time!
I appreciate that! Hope the video was helpful!
dude, i've been using a table saw for the last 45 years and you have to wear a mask. you will get lung problems when you are past 60 years old. that dust killed my dad at his wood shop from cutting plywood and particle board. plywood has two or three types of glue too and the glue from the particle board is the most deadly. spread the word. peace!
I appreciate the warning! I'm not perfect with my mask but I'm definitely getting better about putting it on lol. But you are correct, the dust and glues are terrible for your lungs, so thanks again for looking out for me 😃
What kinda mask do you tend to prefer when woodworking?
@@nm3547 Hey dude, I use the paper masks if I am just gonna sand for a few minutes while not making a ton of dust. Other times, when a lot of dust will be made, I use the double filter rubberized masks with the straps that go over your head and behind your neck which also has various types of replacement cartridges for different types of crap in your air area, such as fumes from lacquer, shellac, paint, or some type of just old nasty dust, heh heh. And one day, I want the mask system that has the fresh supplied to a hose that attaches to the mask, those are cool, but, I'm getting older and taking on less jobs so I may not get that one, because that one is mainly for spraying in the spraybooth. But check this out, I figured how to not even need a mask, I put my bandsaw, standup sanding machine, drill press, lathe, and my jointer all on steel wheels and I keep them all in line by the spraybooth and whatever machine I need I just roll the sucker into the spraybooth and voila, no dust at all in my entire shop, and I don't even need a mask most of the time, it depends, how cool is that. My customors say its very clever.
@@nm3547 Oh and hey, get the more expensive paper mask that has the one way vent on the face of the mask to more quickly exhale your breathing, if, you will be wearing the mask more than say.....fifteen minutes I would say. Start gluing chairs dude, there are not a lot of us restore guys left and folks want their furniture fixed. When you get on a roll and get good you can make five hundred a day in five hours once you figure it out and evern more on the refinishing things.
@@ronvalley1973 That sounds clever, just not sure I can visialize it. I do appreciate your response and feedback.
"Instant" mortise and tenon plywood joints :) Quite strong!
They are pretty strong!
Thank you for sharing your design with everyone 👌...
Most welcome 😊
Cool & Actionable content; I already had 2x6 boards lag bolted 22" down from the ceiling, all the way around my garage walls; there was a lot of unused space being wasted above the garage door, and laid in planks running across, and used 1/4" cable to anchor the planks in the center; to add strength to the load capacity; but only ran the planks 75% of the way in; and store the holiday items on top in tote tubs; now I can add the arms out of scrap 2x4's to store my scraps and unused lumber off the face of the 2x6's. So, thanks for the ideas.
Peace
no problem! sounds like you have some good storage!
I just built my wood storage racks using your video, thanks!
Glad I could help!
Dude! This was incredible! I love that you went with scraps
Thanks! Yea, gotta find ways to use those scraps! 😁
At first I had my doubts but that looks pretty strong for my application. Thanks RT
No problem, hope it works out for ya!
That's a great idea. I would have never thought to try that because in my mind it wouldn't be strong enough. Great video and kudos for giving it a shot and making the concept work.
Thanks, I appreciate all the kind words 😃 I find that sometimes I can over analyze a project to death, so it’s nice to have a little win like this one where there wasn’t a whole lotta planning prior. Thanks for watching!
What a great idea! I have been looking for something like this, got lotsa leftover wood that can be useful now! Absolutely subscribing, Thank you
Thank you! Glad I could help and good luck building a few of these 😁 cheers!
I had a bunch of scrap wood that I needed to hang on the wall, but after I used it to build this, I had no more scrap! 😅
Good job! I am in the process of using your concept but making it fit my needs, thanks!
Glad it was helpful, best of luck!
Great design for strength 👍 but dude, put a riving knife on your table saw!!
thanks!
Yea.. I should definitely do that!
It’s a really good design and very neatly done but the only downsides I can see is the potential for the plywood to delaminate in humid or damp environments or for mould to develop on the edges so I’d suggest slapping a coat of paint or varnish on it to finish it off if that’s a concern for anyone working in less that ideal conditions. I wasted a bundle of expensive Russian ply learning that.
Thank you I appreciate it!
Thats a good tip - it doesn't concern me in my environment - but a good idea to do nonetheless! Thanks!
good idea!👌
Thank you!
Great stuff man.... I subscribed
Could I drill/hang them in the on the wider side? I love this idea for simple storage in my shed
Yea I don't see why not!
Pro tip - You should finish that drywall prior to installing your storage rack.
I went back and forth on doing that so many times! lol I think the next shop will be fully finished
Line levels need to be in the middle of the line for the bubble to be meaningful.
Very true
I'm installing some similar metal wood rack shelving. My big concern has been drilling huge bolts into the construction frame wood of the shed. Isn't that a concern? The frame wood is not covered with drywall/ exposed, so I add 2 x 4 pieces to attach to the building construction wood, & then the lag bolts into the added 2 x 4. But now I see the metal rack is not wall supported, so I have to add more support somehow. It all started with concern with installing large lag bolts into the construction beams, because wood adds up to being so heavy
You're overthinking it. The 2x4's are connected to a footing plate, which are connected to the foundation/footing. Top of the 2x4 is connected to the top plate and trusses etc. Everything is tied together. Your supports would go out before the wall would. Unless your putting up 10ft slabs, drilling lag bolts in the wood is completely fine to carry some 2x4.
@@xthaking Thanks. The lag bolts are holding steel metal racks, which hold lumber & 6" logs. I carried one log around, & it is extremely heavy, so it is a lot of weight going onto the lag bolt, in that wood. I also think a cross piece of wood seems better, supported with a 2x4 underneath, because wood can more easily split longitudinally, & less likely with a wide cross board. I yanked on the metal racks, & somehow they just do not all feel solid after my initial install. I should have angled the screws & used the wrong screws too, I came to discover
@cchemmes-seeseeart3948 oof. Yea you need strength if your putting logs up. You said your 2x4 are exposed? Is there a way to use carriage bolts and nuts?
@@xthaking Thanks for your input. I decided to use the metal racks already weakly on the wall as just dividers, to vertically place wood, & to hold sculpture matericals like styrofoam : ) LOL
hi from a cross the pond l not bothered about the looks of the bracket look like can one use OSB sheets 3/4 or 18mm thick
Hi there, great video - I'm thinking of building something outdoors with treated lumber in a similar design inspired by you.
Can you share feedback of 1 year later? How has it held up? Anything you'd do different?
They have held up great, no issues! These were built more so for longer term storage of bigger planks and I really can't think of anything I'd change on them. Good luck with the build!
@@DoingWhatever thanks very much for the reply! Building it this upcoming weekend!
Thanks for a great idea! How do I put such big bolts into the wall? Thanks in advance!
No problem!
For the bolt, you'll want to pre-drill a hole that's slightly smaller than the size of the bolt, using a drill bit. Then the easiest way to drive in the bolt is by using an impact driver, otherwise you could also just use a wrench. hope that helps!
@@DoingWhatever Thank you!!!
No problem 😃
The clincher was you doing that pull up - unless you weigh 23 pounds?
😄 I’m a good 23+160 pounds! Lol.
Easiest tennion and mortise joint ever
Yup!
Just wonder how much that all cost, if you don't have a bunch of scrap plywood around
I have a link to a free downloadable plan in the description box for exact measurements 😃 but each bracket uses a little less than 4 square feet of material. So on a 4x8 sheet of plywood, you should be able to get 6-8 brackets out of it, depending on how you cut it. Then just glue, brad nails, and a few bolts and screws. Thanks for watching!
Can those lag bolts go through Concrete? I am looking for the right type of screws to mount the Wood Racks on concrete. Thanks
For concrete I would look into Tapcons - they’re blue in color and made for bolting into concrete. I think you predrill a hole before installing the tapcon as well but be sure to see what the box says. Thanks for watching!
You use plywood because you had it, any reason 2x4s wouldn’t work?
I don’t see why not, it would just be a thicker assembly if layered like I have it. Thanks for watching!
Would you recommend these as floating desk brackets too? I'm building an L shape 16ft wide x 2ft deep floating desk for my room and I'm thinking of using 8 brackets in total - one arm instead of two of course. Do you think these will work with a shorter single arm design?
Yea I think these would work, they might be a bit bulky depending on the design of the rest of your desk, but I imagine they'd be plenty strong. Good luck with the build, sounds like a fun one!
@@DoingWhatever thanks. I went ahead with L clamps made out of resawn 2x2 pine stained to match the table top 😊
But I will definitely use your design when I start collecting lumber at the shop :) Thanks again for sharing!
Scraps my A$$ 😂
So, there is just one piece of plywood for each of the rungs that is extended and screwed in? Yikes! You will get wobble unless you load in and out.
Correct, just one piece extended in. I'm not concerned - you saw the minimal movement of it when I hung from the shelf in the beginning. That's about 185lb on one of those lol. The piece is glued and screwed in, and the sandwich pieces on each of the horizontal shelf pieces help minimize wobble.
Thanks for the vid, but seriously you ever hear of a simple 2x4?
Geez man, i could have built this in 1/2 the time..
Never heard of a 2x4… 😉
