- Making the most of a small shop Ep.2.
Getting rid of some of the clutter in my shop by installing a suspended shelf that can fold up into the roof and out of the way.
IMPORTANT: The shelf is NOT completely finished as it poses a degree of risk of injury. I still need to install a safety mechanism that would prevent accidental drops by attenuating folding speed and supporting the bulk of the weight. I am currently working on such a solution and hope to add it soon.

Very nice. Only one thing I would change. Because it comes down right against the wall, you cannot have anything behind it on the wall, forcing the wall to be empty at all times. I would suggest pulling the unit away from the wall (with some sort of stopper when it is pulled down, of course) so that you can have space to store additional items on the wall.
Yes. This.
I wanted to say, that while I was looking at this setup as the "perfect" solution to my 1 car shop, I NEEDED your comment! Honestly, why wouldn't you flat store tools and have the bulky things drop when needed! Thank you for being kind enough to point out even further practicality!
No need a stopper... put the hinge in line with the shelf's front.
(You can keep very rately used tools in lost place between the hinges and wall-above the shelf unit).
My 2 cents...
Yes I agree. If you have a cabinet or workbench along a wall you could build this to fold down in front of those cabinets when needed. As for dealing with the weight and to make it even easier you could put a pully and cable to close them. Even use a small electric wench and then you could just mount a up and down on the wall. I have a single car shop and space is tight. I would like to do this in my walk in closet too.
Or use shelves with wheels that can be moved when you want to pull this down
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
WRT the dowel rod inside of PVC pipe, next time, score the dowel rod with grooves that either run down the length of the rod or in a spiral pattern. As you watch your video of assembly, when you are pressing the dowel rods into the tubes, you see the MAJORITY of the glue being wiped out of the joint. The grooves hold the reserve of the glue inside the joint while the glue cures. This IS the reason why premade dowel pins have those grooves in them. Lots of experience went into that simple modification, best to copy it.
My shop is 24' x 24' and I thought I had a tiny space. I watched this and many others on your channel and all I to say.... WOW. You are an absolute wood working genius. SUBSCRIBED!
I am so PISSED OFF right now! Why did it take TH-cam SO LONG to introduce me to this channel!! It's fantastic. My Grandfather was a civil engineer, and used to send me plans for what I wanted to build. Unfortunately he passed away last week, and I just got back from the funeral yesterday. I'm thankful I found someone else with such engineering prowess. Reminds me of him.
get yourself a copy of Fusion 360 and sort out using it... then you can make your own as well. Seems to be going to replace SketchUp for hobby use I think.
I am loving this design. Very impressive. That multi-function bench blew my mind as well!
My shop is in the basement this will work in the rafters with a little bit of adjustments. Thanks for putting this information together and posting.
I'm laughing as I'm typing this my friend. It's simply brilliant and I was looking for a really good storage solution to get some tools or other items up to my workshop ceiling. I only have a 16x10ft shop which is about the same as ur shop my bro. Ur shop is probably a bit bigger by the looks of it but I think not by much.. Maybe a foot or 2 each way..
I love this storage solution man.. Keep building smart solutions bro. I will keep using them.. Sorry but I'm new to the workshop ideas so I will pick others brains all I can. Thanks man.
Great to see a fellow South African publishing videos of amazing engineering and skills with limited resources!
This is genius, I might do a smaller version in my shop. Thank you for this awesome video and Idea. Also, I like how your miter saw and router is hidden in your workbench, genius ideas to save space in a small workshop. Cheers
I built one of these a couple of years a go. I hung it from the joists of the loft I have in my building. It is a handy addition. This is always a good channel to watch and learn from.
I have to say I wasn't expecting this. The comment about sending this guy to NASA and we'd be on Mars in a few weeks is spot on. LMAO I didn't quite follow everything(might have been the drinks) but one hell of a build. Nice job!!!
Yes, you absolutely should explore the usecase(s) of an in-home-oriented version of this. After watching this I'm imagining replacing shelves, the kitchen cabinets, closets.. WALLS! Gonna make m'self a fine modular home. You want two rooms? Three rooms? No rooms? Just pull down the appropriate shelf-wall(s) for the task.
You always have a cheap and effective solution on doing stuff. Please continue
Thanks! I intend to.
I REALLLLLLLLY like the explanation of why you’re doing what you’re doing instead of just narrating your process to the audience like many other related channels.
Probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in a workshop.
Your idea has just solved my battery tool storage problems thanks man also in UK
Always a pleasure!
Great job! And its good to have the constant commentary of what you are doing instead of background music.
I hate background music
I agree completely!
Agreed!
If only my ceiling would be higher in my garage, got only 1,95m. But i will do this in my shed as it has an attic, and i could place the shelves between the rafters. Thanks for sharing this great idea. Regards from Germany.
Those shelves, and that work table are two of the cleverest builds I've ever seen! I hope you have a video for the work bench!
My goodness if that isn’t the coolest thing ever. Absolutely amazing. Loved the video progression, kept it interesting and kept us involved along through the whole ride. I have to say after all the building, when we heard the latch “click” , that was extremely satisfying. Good job. Loved the vid, thanks for posting. I’ll be checking out more of your channel. 👍
No idea why this ended up in my recommendations, but holy christ am I glad it did. Amazing job, love the concept!
Out-freaking-standing. Brilliant solution. I have been struggling with th eneed for additional storage. Thank you.
Hi Jean. New subscriber here, and a fellow South African (From Cape Town) Great video and I'm glad to have found another woodworking TH-camr (Not that I'm a TH-camr...I'd rather watch what you make). Very awesome Idea and I think it's a great space saving unit. I definitely think it can be repurposed for bedrooms
what a pleasure to watch a follow the steps. Extremely well explained. I have a double garage for vehicles to park at night and find i have to move things around very often. this is most definitely my immediate next project. Well DONE
Wow! Such an awesome idea and execution. Love the channel man, keep up the great work!
Dang! Shop Nation giving praise?! Love the way great TH-cam channels give each other praise when it's deserved. Both your channels rock!
Always appriciate a quality South African video. Will be making a couple of these for my garage. Thank you
By far best storage project on TH-cam, AWESOME! Thanks from Australia.
Brilliant idea and great execution. Well done. So nice to see fellow South Africans posting great content.
It all makes sense now. Well the accent at least
Young man, I like how you wear hearing and eye protection as well as a dust mask. That's a good example to set. I've subscribed.
except when hes using the hammer drill into the cinderblock which is arguably just as bad/worse than the wood dust...
not to be entirely negative! great video and design work, subbed.
Off topic question, but why is your username "truth is truth" ?
Except when using the drill press...
Why use a respirator for dust?
@@slrs3908 - fine dust particles get into the lungs and your body can't get them out. It causes respiratory problems and in some cases cancer. It is as bad or worse than smoking.
One if the most ingenious ideas I have seen on youtube for a long while. There is just one thing I might have done differently and that is to set the hinge point further out from the wall so that the shelves don't drop down against the wall. If this was done you could still put shelves up on the wall and your roof shelves could still drop down in front of them. However, I am still very impressed with what you have done, what an awesome solution for a small workshop.
I’ve watched hundreds of woodworking and woodworking design videos and this one is by far my absolute favorite! He has the most practical ideas. Keep up the great work and thank you!!
What a bad ass table saw bench, love the james bond storage of other power tools in it.
Also you should have 1M subs just for that workbench//triforce thing. I can't even handle how simplified it is.
The cloths storage idea would be great. They would also be lighter than shop tools and screws. Shoes, sweaters and extra sheets stored on the ceiling. The designs I saw from the 1950s extended the back support all the way under the lowest bin, giving more stability.
Just amazingly clever! Incredibly well thought out, a very creative solution as opposed to the typical stationary shelf hung from the rafters. My first time watching one of your videos, but definitely not the last! Subscribed.
This was a great build. Please follow your brother's advice and adapt it for bedroom use. I would buy it! I'll buy this one for the workshop as well. I don't have enough space in my shop or my bedroom, so please, make them and sell them!!! Great video.
Awesome storage idea. I can see this being used for Tiny Houses and such. So yes, please do refine for other storage. Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, bookshelf, gaming shelf, and even an entertainment center if one is crazy enough to make it.
Definitely would work with lightweight storage. Although I am tall, I can see unlatching it as a hassle for some. I am curious to see about making a floor platform with this kind of a mechanism in mind for a tiny house type scenario as they love to use both upper and lower hidden storage.
@@postscript1561 I think for a floor platform you could basically reverse it and move or add a platform to the top (now bottom) of the shelves I'm thinking for like plates, utensils, spices, etc... with a desk/kitchen combo, fold the desk up, lift the chair/floor, and you have a kitchen ready to go. you could even make a shower like that, make the lower shelves smaller, and add a cloth and shower head on the top one.
using a latch with a rope, car trunk cylinders for slowing it down, and a pulley on the you can make an overhead hidden compartment that even children can use.
Coming from the floor or the roof is either way not very efficient for tiny homes. You save space when it’s open/close but you also need a clear space in order to open and to close the whole thing.
It’s a good design for nails and workshop storage, yes, but for spices that you’ll need to open atleast twice a day it becomes less reliable.
As an alternative I can propose one genius idea I saw in a friend’s parents’ house. They have drawers & cabinets in their non-supportive walls. It sounds stupid but it saves a lot of space !
I am amazed at the space saving swing shelving you've created. I have a 18'8" x 9'7" laundry/storage/workshop combination room that I'll be thinking of this. I have to build a folding stair for the attic access as it is. Great Job and ingenuity!
I dont normally sub to anything. But i am to you. Best youtuber for this stuff. You explain everything for literally anyone to understand and build themselves.
Best build I've seen in 2019
The idea and execution of this shelf is marvelous!
I'm about to set up a small workshop in a single garage too and just discovered your channel.
That's what I call a stroke of luck!
Your brother is absolutely right about the clothes storage for small spaces! I watched this all the way through as it’s the closest thing I’ve found to an idea for linen storage where there limited space. We’ve got super high ceilings in our home, and being able to modify this design to drop down linen storage would be perfect! Of course it would need refinement for indoor usage. :-)
Your ideas and precision work is excellent. Keep it up and I will share your posts as well. Thanks so much.
This is brilliant. You have got to take this as far as you can
A really good and instructive video on a great idea with even better execution. I can imagine building something like this, sunk into the ceiling of bedrooms in older homes that may have wooden ceilings instead on concrete ones, right between the support beams. I really like the way you narrate and give clear instructions and explanations for everything you're doing. Clearly, you're my new source of inspiration. Liked and subscribed, will definitely be coming back here for more ideas, thanks!
I am always inspired by your projects. The upper storage bins are a great idea for in house storage. Even inside an existing closet for trading out winter and summer clothes. Thanks for being a brilliant carpenter.
Brilliant. An idea I'll definitely make use of. Tx. Cape Town, South Africa.
This is amazing. I needed to replace several shelves in my garage.
Great work and what a brilliant design! I look forward to seeing how you created your workbench
I have been watching your video in the past several days. Your design of each component is really creative. I am learning so much. Thanks for explaining so well.
This was the most intelligent storage design I have *EVER* seen!
DANG! That was genius, beautiful and useful! Very nice work.
What a great idea and very nicely executed. This can be adapted to all kinds of ceiling storage. You just need a free swinging space and a high enough ceiling.
I don't know how such genius idea have thumbs down. Must be envy people with a 'simple ideas brain'.
Ingenious. This would work in a ton of applications such as motor homes; campers; tiny homes; kitchens; and toolboxes to name a few.
Fantastic idea and build 👊😎👍
Great idea. And concerning the storage in small flats or so, that was one of my first touhgts when I saw you building this! Sure you should try! Looking forward to see the video.
Love the solution and I think it's one that would work well in a lot of UK workshops as people have exposed rafters in their flat rooves or rafter ties in their pitched rooves. I'll be looking at it for extra storage in mine!
Maybe the best shop storage system I've seen on the net. Don't ever loose being the fine craftsman you are but you might have the key to some amazing financial rewards right there. At least patent it.
Great idea !!! will be building these in my workshop thanks for sharing
I just love the way you say “the roooof”. 0:15. Great video. 👍🏻
I love watching some one that takes pride in their work and does such a clean finish job.
Thank you I would like to see you do a diy tables and such for saw and all the machines you use.
Would absolutely recommend a bedroom storage or clothes shelf like this. Its essentially the same concept as the fold away beds and ironing boards. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned into a million dollar idea.
This is freaking brilliant. I am going to keep this in mind when I start to get my own clutter in my small work area sorted out. Awesome!
I hope u are 7ft tall and got big muscles
Best idea I have seen in a good while. Thanks for taking the time to explain as you go.
I saw this idea employed in an episode of Tiny House Nation. To accommodate clothing storage in a sleeping loft, they built a thicker loft floor and storage units similar to the ones you build in this video. The units opened downward to the laundry area, so it was easy to stow clean folded clothes right out of the dryer. Hinged access doors in the floor of the loft provided access to clean clothes. When I saw the episode, I immediately recalled having watched this video. Well Done!
really nice work, craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail.
Ingenious! And kudos for all the work you put into this and for sharing!
It's an absolute amazing idea. Keep up the good job!!!!!
GRASIAS POR COMPARTIR TU EXELENTE IDEA. DIOS TE BENDIGA HOY MAÑANA Y SIEMPRE GRASIAS. MI BUEN AMIGO
That turned out really well. Great project.
I have been designing a shelf like this in my head for storing all of my dvd and vhs and book collection. I am gonna scrap my plan and base it off your design. Totally awesome
Ohhhh! Oh, that's a good idea. Great, I want this now. Damn.
Why scrap your plan?
I REALLY want to see how you adapt this for dvd, cds, and books! I have a huge amount of each and have been looking for solutions. I saw a great photo of a pull-down drawer cabinet for dvds, but have been unable to find a plan or source to purchase it. But this may be even better. With decorative woodworking skills, you could put these in many parts of the house and save the walls for art!
I'm digging your setup so far dude, you've got a lot of nice ideas there.
This is a brilliant idea!
Absolutely genius construction.
I agree with your brother. This design could work in small bedrooms, pantries sheds. Also it could be finished with a stain for added beauty and durability. If you use fine wood veneers, this could look like a beautiful indoor cabinet. I’ve subscribed as well. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects. 👍🏼
Clothes don't weight too much so that's a plus
Great video!! I'm looking at options to convert a small space into a woodshop. Your channel has given me plenty of ideas. Looking forward to your future videos! :)
That is one of the best ideas for storage that I’ve seen in a small work shop.With a creative mind like yours I think your shop is going to look amazing thanks for sharing.
that IS so AWESOME!!! GREAT job!!! We're planning on doing that for our RV!! LOVE IT!!!
That's amazing! 😀Gonna make it when my shop'll b built! Thank you 😊
Absolutely beautiful design, your explanation makes it very easy to follow! Great work!
Clever design and good execution! Thanks!
Way beyond DIY - your attention to detail and accuracy are commendable. Subscribing was a no-brainer!
Idk why I watched this but this is on another level of constructing, one might say 'top shelf' building.
This was clever as all hell. And looked pretty great when all done. Great job man.
Oddly enough I was searching for Drop down closet storage units. Thank you, you've laid out the steps for me and provided lots of tips. Excellent workspace and craftsman ship, mate!
You're a Mad Genius with Skills! I love cool design hacks like these. Especially loved how you used the pvc&dowel to make pivot points! So cool!!
You just kept pulling tools out of your work table! lol It's awesome!
When you pulled the lathe out, I was like, wtf did that come from!? lol
Great build, clean shop, nice work. A++
A great, creative solution to the storage problem. Very nice work.
Nice work. With a table saw like you can build anything. Not having a table saw makes it a lot harder. That’s the only problem with a lot these projects. There built with all the right tools.
Thanks for sharing
Great execution of a very clever design.
That's genius! Great use of otherwise dead space!
I am in awe of all the great ideas you put forth. I is such a pleasure to watch and learn from you. Thank you so much for expanding our horizons!
You're brilliant! Execution, craftsmanship, detail - fantastic! I agree that you have alot of latitude for this project to become many things for many things. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you do next. Keep it up!!
Great engineering, great explanations, great instructional video
Beautiful work my friend! Truly outstanding! I want some some of those lol
Waw, I really like your idea! Simple but, that is excellent. I'm stealing it for my garage/workshop. Shot bru! Really can't say enough about how impressive it is. Good on you!
Wow...just amazing craftsmanship. I have watched a few of your videos now and they keep getting better.
You are like a master carpenter. Each video I learned a new technique to improve my own skills when building something as a personal project around the house.
Thanks for your great content, can't wait to see more of your videos
😃👍👍
