Hey gang. We've had lots of comments on the dangers of hanging shelves like this from roof trusses, undersized ceiling joists, TJI's, etc. On this project, there is a full second story above the garage and we hung the shelves from 2x12 ceiling joists. Be sure to consult with a structural engineer anytime you are adding additional loads to the framing in your house. Thx!!
I appreciate this comment. I've been considering a very similar system to utilize the dead space above my garage door. I have a truss system that are 24" on center. They run parallel to the garage door, meaning the same 2 trusses would bear the weight of the structure length. For further detail, I would build 2 separate frames to run 1 on each side of the garage door opener bar. But again this still would utilize the same 2 trusses, although it would be split by the king post in the middle. Just typing out loud here, any thoughts?
@@gottabdcheese another thing, imo, to keep in mind are those "nailing" plates if your truss is of that kind. Not sure how endbutted 2x material would distribute weight to the walls to be sent to the ground. I think all attached garages should be designed to have a full floor above the ceiling. Why ???? Because at almost any time in a houses history someone is going to want to store sh!t up there. Hell ... if I was in a house with an unfinished garage I'd want to put some sort of floor up there so my lil boy could play up there. Instead of inbetween my feet like a cat causing me to trip and fall....
@@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 Yeah, I have those nailing plates. And to validate your point, my attached garage is drywall finished, but I still cut a hole up there and slayed a few sheets of plywood to store some rarely used things! Would have been great if the builder incorporated this. These shelves would be to provide easier access to totes and bins that are more actively used.
As a dad, I gotta speak up about how kind, respectful, enthusiastic, and caring you two are with each other. Your on screen chemistry is authentic and charming!
I had to stop reading the comments because I couldn't stop crying. I am a daddy's girl. All of my siblings have been blessed with my dad’s artistic and mechanical inclinations. My dad took pride in spending quality time with each of us by word and deed in many disciplines. I am invariably awestruck by your presence, your demeanor, your generosity, your wisdom, your humility, your honesty, your commitment to excellence and your integrity. I could go on and on. You remind me so much of my Dad. Excellence is your very nature and it permeates your every utterance and reflex. It is an ode to a day time and peoples who strove lived by virtues and not appearances. It is as my dad lovingly reminded us integrity is not something that can be bought; you have to earn it. Thank you for your contribution to carry on that legacy. I know that you, like my dad, are priceless to your family for your hard work and sacrifice amist these trying times. Much Love and Admiration from this Daddy’s girl in Monroe, GA.
I fell in love with this video two years ago, and like everyone else I love the father son relationship. That you give each other is contagious. It encourages me to build with husband, son and daughter. Praying God’s continued and rich blessings on your family.
One thing I have learned about building shelves. Use GOOD material b/C in twenty - years the shelves will not warp or break. And I love the father and son camaraderie. Keep it going, fellows !!!
Awesome channel!! This is exactly what America and the rest of the world need right now. A Father teaching and working alongside his son all while the son listens and shows respect toward his father. God bless you and yours
Crazy hearing 12k subs, 1 yr old video, and currently at 360k+. Major growth! And you guys deserve it, best channel in this category hands down. One of if not my fav channel on YT. Thanks boys, and keep it rolling. Can't wait to see how the stud pack house turns out!
I agree with Ollie’s comment. As a dad of four children, what a blessing and a memory the two of you working together must be. Enjoy your time together. And thank you for the great content and step by step description how too. Be blessed.
I always thought you just had a really good worker helping you out. But now after realizing it's your son this makes it so awesome!!! I worked with my dad for many years in his construction company and he taught me everything I know. He's much older now but everytime I work on any project on my own I think about him and think to myself, what would he do? Love it and great job on the shelves
18:52 That's a pretty slick piece of hardware. As an electrician, I never saw allthread or strut attached to wood, or a home at all. I only saw that stuff used in commercial/industrial applications and we were always attaching to structural steel. Awesome tip.
I love son and dad working together. You guys made a heck of storage, simple but elegant . Well done team. You got yourself a new subscriber. I longing to see the 4x8 table project.
Great Dad ! Great son. All American families should be like this to keep their kids out of trouble and also can teach their kids some of the life skills.
I’m a big fan of family based content/father son duo’s. Nice job. I recommend pole barn garage. That guys son deserves TH-cam’s coolest kid award 🥇 IMO
You remind me so much of my father in law. He is super handy as a retired contractor and custom cabinet maker but is also really good at explaining things in a way that a beginner could do it but doesn’t talk to you like you’re an idiot. Like him, you are very thorough in your explanations but don’t ramble on and on like some You Tubers do. Informative but straight to the point.
i don't even plan on making shelves any time soon, but i just wanted to see something relaxing like other people working, after a long, unsatisfying day). Also nice seeing other people also have a mess in their house and this gives hope that anything can be organized with enough will. good job guys)
I love this series and the father-son relationship. I'm 51 and my father abandoned his family, so I hope you know how lucky you are young man. I'm just glad I can come to your page and learn things my father never stuck around to teach me. So thank you!
You guys are the best! I wish I had videos of my son and me from years ago. This is what being a Dad is all about. And the son has got to be what the makings of a young man is modeled after! Thank you both for putting out the videos that show how a Father and Son can be, without disrespect. 👍🏼
Why would someone NOT like this video It's beyond understanding. You may not agree with something they did, but over all, people learn from videos like this. Thanks, guys!
I was thinking if my dad over holidays and this came up on my thread.... man my dad was a carpenter build anything and you remind me so much of him... new to this channel thanks man
I have used unistrut to suspend thread rod shelf supports for years. Never knew those super screw threaded rod lag screws ever existed. Thanks. I'm only 72 and have been doing my own projects for years and have been doing handyman work for others for over a dozen years. Never too old to learn.
Finally someone who actually has stuff in their garage. I see so many homes that have these oddly bare garages and I’m seriously wondering where people keep all their tools, camping gear, decorations, etc.
I have never seen father and son work together like you guys. I really enjoy seeing dad and son working together as a team. You have created a huge archive, simple but very elegant looking. Well done team.
Perfect timing…my wife just mentioned how she wants better shelving in the garage for all our stuff. I’ll buy the bins first and then determine the distance between the shelves based on the size of the storage bins. Thanks so much guys!
I appreciate this video. I just installed my first threaded rod garage shelf basically using this method (minus painting). It’s so strong, and it looks great except for the very first threaded rod which I eyeballed instead of using a level or laser to ensure plumb. 😅
10:54 "Little Bites". I like that. My Dad has always said, "Don't be overwhelmed by the entire project. "CHUNK IT OFF". Do necessary things in "Chunks". I know what you meant & I really respect that work ethic. I subscribed 10-9-22 near the end of the day. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel.
I think that dad has leaked his name a couple times accidentally, but I don't remember it so the secret is safe .... for now. I have made garage shelves like this with one difference, I drilled 3/8"+ holes through the thick side of the 2x4, then pushed the all thread thru, and then bolted the nuts with fender washers directly to the 2x's. Nice job guys !!
Great seeing Father/Son working so well together. Does my heart good to do projects with my son. America needs a lot more of this and we wouldn't be in the shape we are now. Nicely done video with no foul language and showing how to do a job the right way. 10 stars!
Why I just found this video today who knows. I just bought a house and I’m 2 days into and need a excuse to buy new tools and to build a shelf system. I’m saving the video and going to tackle this with my son. He’s 9 so we’ll see how it goes. Thanks gentlemen
@@StudPack may i say that you’re both quite blesst having each other. just two illustrations of what real men are made of. 30yrs, 4 kids, a real mom, a real dad. kinda sounds like a real family. clearly, luck had not a thing in the world to do with a cool dad and a cool son. im thinkin who how and what you are just runs in the family. and, your content is so good im not sure how you cld really improve it. your honesty respect integrity transparency, are fairly w/o rival. likewise the quality of your videos. i cannot get enough of your videos. thank you very much gents! very well and nicely done.
The energy between the two of you is very refreshing. Also not often that I see people who pay attention to detail and pride in their workmanship. Thank you for the opportunity to see that
This is one of the first Stud Pack videos I watched. I was searching for shelving ideas for my own garage. While I didn’t use the hangers like this it sure did give me the ideas on how to proceed. I now have the usable parts of 3 walls covered in shelving. My walls are 10’6” high and I struggled to find a good solution. I now have 2 rows 2’ deep and I spaced them to fit totes and/or buckets. Next project may be pipe rails and a library ladder for access.
Nice work boys! My new place has a detached metal shop/garage, so doing something like this is a lot more difficult. I had similar setup at my last house, with suspended loft style shelving, just used 2x4 for the supports instead of threaded rod. That father-son relationship is awesome too!
This was the first SP video I saw way back and even did this on one shelf in my garage (more to come over garage door)! Love seeing the growth on this channel, Paul’s transformation on screen, & now Rad to boot! The Garage-Mahal is awesome!
I just want to say, you tell us you were embarrassed at the state of the garage. You have one that mirrors many! So the first point is - don't worry about the mess lol. But mostly I wanted to say thanks for being humble enough to still include the project on the channel even though it was embarrassing a bit. I hope the number of views you got shows you it was needed! Keep it up.
Love this content!! Couple years ago I bought a 40ft shipping container and wanted to line one whole side with shelves. I'm a little OCD and like my screws to line up. I spent a little extra time building some jigs outta scraps laying around and saved loads of time not having to measure for each and every screw on every 2×4. 15 shelves and the screws are in the exact same place on every one of them😁
Wow! I love not only the instructional aspect of building the shelving unit but more than that how father and son absolutely have a great bond and chemistry working together, Awesome!!!
Thanks for this guys. Just found you and quickly subbed. I lost my dad too early back in 2015 (I was 26) and this brought back great memories of working with him on all sorts of garage projects. I look forward to doing the same with my son and daughter someday soon. Thanks and keep it up!
Oh and McMaster-Carr is far and away a favorite place for me to spend time. I am a design engineer and have created many a project using their extensive model catalog, haha. Great sales tool for them lol
Good job. I've been making similar shelves for years. You can cut out some of the hardware and give them a more refined look by drilling through the 2x4 with a sloppy hole and covering it with a fender washer and using 1/2"ø or 3/4"ø PVC pipe or electricians conduit as spacers, cut to the right length to provide the desired spread and use just one nut to tighten everything together. Also, its a good idea to get a locking nut up against that atr transition lag screw (i forget their proper name. If you have a little mig welder, they're easy to make). You can recess the bolt holes to hide the connection too and to hide the ends of whatever pipe you use. One more thing i have learned over the years is that shelves are plenty strong when they're made of 1x2 skeleton frames on edge and skinned with MDF on both sides to hide the cleat that attaches them to the wall or just skin the top surface. I really can't think of anything that I'm going to lift that high that needs to be supported by a 2x4 on edge and 1/2" OSB. If you're good with your wire tying , you can get away with hanging them the same way but using some good tiewire running inside the pipe, twisted tight and maybe capped off with a big wire nut up inside a recessed hole. Just hammer a teko nail through the side of the bottom hole and be sure the wire goes on each side of the nail and chuck both ends up in your drill. Being sure both ends of wire are equal in length. Put drill in low speed and tighten everything up. Definitely use EMT or MIP for this method. ATR (all thread rod) is a great product to use coming from the ground also. Make some very solid legs to a stationary work bench or lumber rack the same way, by running it down the center of some pipe and capping it off with big washers and build off of that. Its best to anchor to the floor with a drop in anchor and anchor overhead with wedge anchors. But that's not going to be a residential issue. Anyway, you said to comment, so i did. Furthermore, it was a pleasure to watch you two working together. You work well together. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. I'll subscribe and try to keep my comments to a minimum. It's just that i have got a lot of building and designing experience and sometimes i get a little sentimental.. lol
Great tip with the magnets! I like Franklin Pro Stud finders. They're great for illuminating the whole stud with a row of LED's, so center's are real easy to find, and also very affordable. I keep a couple at home and several in my jobsite arsenal.
Spent a couple hours yesterday putting 6 of the 8' shelved together. What a quick and easy process. I've got the blocks on the wall and they are ready to hang. Just need to clear out the old junk shelving units and up they go! Great video guys!
Here's an additional tip. Built an extra shelf if you can as it makes a great platform for a makeshift scaffold by using two saw horses, you have a nice sturdy platform to stand on to reach things like painting the fascia and overhangs of your house. You can also place a regular 8' ladder on top of it for more reach. Just make sure your saw horses are wider than 2'
Thanks to this video I built these in my garage and did it a little different but same concept. Really nailed it. I’ve been starting at them al day lol. I think what was really a great touch was the threaded rod and rod anchors. Probably the best part of this whole vid. Nice touch dad. Thanks
You guys clearly do not live in California. Earthquakes happen frequently enough to encourage folks to cross brace shelving in order to restrain heavy items from falling off and harming the person trying to get out. That is a really professional and tidy look. Bravo!
My sister has a lot of holiday stuff too. So I'm sending her this video. She'll love the idea and have me replicate your work. My only question is if you plan to build in your garage, won't you either need a good vacuum system or maybe cover your shelves with a type of curtain to prevent everything from getting sawdust on.
Looks great, useful and actionable information; My garage is an unusual 22 feet high; I ran 2 x 8's all the around with lag bolts, just above the electric garage door; then butted 2 x 8's cross wise and used 1/4 inch cables with double nutted U-bolts connected to angle iron on the ceiling; something you will appreciate; put wheels on everything touching the floor; as a 90% disabled veteran after 25 years of service; it makes life a lot easier; except for the work bench, I also made the work bench topout of 2 x 8's with 4 x4 legs anchor bolted to the studs, made very surdy for the vice, bench grinder and baby drill press; with a second level and wrapped the sides in peg board to hang assortments of bolts boxes, screwed repurposed glass jar lids to the frame for loose odds and ends, and such, and small special tools used often; I have a 4' × 8' foot pegg board for larger tools on a wall framed in, and a small hardware store of supplies, I live out in the country pretty far out side of town, ( that's why I added a 3d printer to print hardware, not on hand ); I printed out all the outlet boxes and pvc angles for adding 10 each metered 30 amp, 240 volt, three phase, four prong locking, five wire outlets, and 22 each, 20 amp, 120 volt outlets. Since taking a pretty good whack playing in a middle eastern sand box; I cannot use my body to create value, ( walter reed tried to repair me twice ), so I work from home to help my wife retire a few years sooner with what I have left, so I built a Personal Data Processing Center in my garage; and even with a full size home HVAC blower motor mounted on the back wall to move out the heat from the compute units, I haven't turned my heat on since 2017; even on days like today that 10 degrees outside; and my house is still 75 degrees by just keeping the HVAC fan on to circulate the heat from the attached garage, and haven't even had a freeze burst in the copper water lines; but in July and August in Tennessee I have to run 22k BTU's of A/C to keep cool air moving through the processors, or the thermal paste turns into oil. Thanks for the quality content.
That's quite a garage - 22 foot ceiling height. Thanks for commenting and thanks for your service. The staff at Walter Reed is top notch. You must have gotten banged up pretty good 👍
Ya know I've watched a lot of garage organizations, and most are lies. Thank you for just posting what it actually is start and finish..well in progress
At the end you said this was an inexpensive shelf design. It was when you posted this for sure. Now, though, it's cheaper to build it with gold bars and platinum screws with all silver hardware. In seriousness though, I love the idea, and when prices aren't so reprehensible, I may be doing this in my garage as well. Thanks for the idea and the content.
I wonder if it was a hassle to get it hooked up level with the chain link or if you were fine with it being close enough. Theirs seems to be very clean, precise and symmetrical. Howd yours turn out?
I love the threaded rod hangers. The one change I would make is to attach a 2x6 to the ceiling instead of a 2x4; this would allow for two extra screws into the ceiling rafters (at total of four per rod) for extra support. I would also screw these in at a slight angle so that the pull down force will not be totally on the screw threads themselves. But I do love this simple project; optimizing space at a minimum cost.
I did find this helpful. Looks like it could be the solution to our micro-garage storage issues. We're one of those strange couples who still park cars in the garage.
I have a 28'X32'X10' high attached garage, a 45'X32'X13' high shop, AND a 1,200o Sq Ft detached garage and I still need more room! Riding mower, DR mower, quad, quad trailer, pressure washer, tile saw, drift boat, jet ski, vertical air compressor, table saw with run-out table, wood laths, shaper, drill presses, two bag shop vac, five rolling tool chest, belt/disk sander, 13" wood planer, Legacy woodworking machine, panel saw, 4 maple workbenches, anvil on a stand, oxygen/acetylene tanks on A dolly, mig welder on a cart, Hossfeld bender,, and the supplies. YIKES !
I don’t know if you have ever seen a high rise garage door lift conversion but it completely changes the space and appearance of your garage size!!! Would be a cool series to watch! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I feel as though this comment will go un heard, simply because this video is so old. Regardless of that, I need to stay inline with the previous comments on the value of father and son team. I divorced when my 2 boys were 6 and 3. They spent at least 3 or 4 days a week with me for the first 10 plus years after the divorce. In my younger years, I spent many weekends working with my dad doing simple projects around his house. Learning from him, about the stuff that he knew. Although he was a computer engineer, he grew up on a farm and learned a lot about building. My father inlaw was a builder, he thought me so much more, I then began teaching my dad and doing much bigger projects such as building an upstairs to his ranch house, adding an addition, a garage etc. My boys spent years working along side of me building so many different things like a huge log cabin, several home additions, installed a couple of swimming pools, the list seams endless. Passing that on to them has been my greatest joy. I wasn't a builder. I have always done autobody repair. Building was just one of those things I have always enjoyed. I still take every opportunity to build with my sons. They seam to love it when I do, every bit as much as I do. My oldest son is a doctor and the younger one is an opera singer who is all over the world. Neither are builders but they enjoy passing this same stuff off to their kids. Watching you guys work together like this is just fabulous. Thanks for the tips you have passed on to me. Perhaps I'll have the opportunity to forward them to my boys and my grand children. I wish I could do more than subscribing and simply smashing the like button for you.
We have a basement but I’m getting too decrepit to keep hauling all of this Xmas junk up and down. Yeah, I called it junk, I am the original Grinch. What we actually need is a dumpster.
You guys are great. I love watching you light up when you talk about all thread pieces. Made me smile a little inside. I will be doing this in my garage.
Your projects and expertise are just awesome! I always learn so much. As a DIYer, I appreciate how you always introduce extremely helpful, little-known-of hardware and tools. Oh, and the charisma, too! Love watching your videos. Thank you!
I supported my shelf from the ceiling using chain for a swing-set, the wire-type kind with double links. From the attic I cut two slits through the sheet rock on either side of the trusses and hung metal straps around them, through the ceiling and folded them inward to put a small bolt through them with one end of the chain in-between. The other end of the chain went through 1/2" holes drilled through the decking and the 2x4's and screws through the holes in the 2x4's secured the other end of the chain. I painted the whole thing white and used 1" square PVC hand rail "supports" to hide the chains, which I put the chains through before attaching them to the shelf. It was very cheap to produce, is structurally sound, will last the life of the house and yields a professional look that is very pleasing to the eye, like a drawing with simple lines would look. No threads, no nuts, no eye hooks, not even any visible mechanical means of support. Just a shelf with flexible plastic square tubes going to the ceiling.
@@StudPack I think tomorrow I'm going to finish the job and drill holes at the tops and bottoms of the chain covers to shoot some white caulk into them so when it hardens they will stay solidly in place. My garage ceiling is 12 feet high and the shelf is 4 feet wide and 16 feet long. I literally have a half-ton of stuff up there! It blocks the light fixture making a dark space, so later I just might put some LED lighting strips inside the 2x4's and then put a plastic light diffusing panel to cover the whole bottom of the shelf. Re: Your wise method for finding the exact center of a stud. I do the same thing, but on my garage the shelf was going up against block walls, so I just drilled holes and drove scrap wood pieces inside them and popped the screws right into the wood. A simple anchor from scrap wood.
I really like your chain idea. I get how you secured it through the ceiling, and ran the chain through the shelving frame, but how did you secure the chain at the very bottom? Thanks in advance for your response.
Love hanging shelve. Everytime I build shelves I always try to have them hand to keep stuff of the ground. Nice. I typically use wood for the look, but it's a compromise for the space the supports take up. Last allthread supports I did were not as seamless as yours but I drilled them through the front wood rails and used nuts and washers but then I also put 1/2" clear tubing around the rods so as not to damage anything if I had to drag it along the rods. Acted like a bushing almost. You guys are great! 👍
Great shelves. Have done the same in years past. If you have access to the attic, I usually just stab the threaded rod thru the sheetrock ceiling. Up anbove ceiling joist or truss span a support across 2 or 3 joist to spread out the load and nut them thru the support. Screw the support beam into the 2 or 3 ceiling joist. That makes for a hidden ceiling look and support. Just my way. Good video for beginners. I try to avoid special hardware cuz Im rather cheap.
Great job presenting the hardware specs and being upfront about costs. But though they're just a set of garage shelves, that threaded rod-through-the-I-bolt is just a very satisfy thing--it's got a 'rightness' to it. I'll definitely be watching your other videos. Thanks!

These shelves would be to provide easier access to totes and bins that are more actively used.
Same goes for saferack shelving. In fact nothing should be hung from LVL joists

You guys are the best! I wish I had videos of my son and me from years ago. This is what being a Dad is all about. And the son has got to be what the makings of a young man is modeled after! Thank you both for putting out the videos that show how a Father and Son can be, without disrespect. 👍🏼
Why would someone NOT like this video It's beyond understanding. You may not agree with something they did, but over all, people learn from videos like this. Thanks, guys!
I was thinking if my dad over holidays and this came up on my thread.... man my dad was a carpenter build anything and you remind me so much of him... new to this channel thanks man
Welcome to the Channel we appreciate you!
I have used unistrut to suspend thread rod shelf supports for years. Never knew those super screw threaded rod lag screws ever existed. Thanks. I'm only 72 and have been doing my own projects for years and have been doing handyman work for others for over a dozen years. Never too old to learn.
Great Father & Son tag team. Great communication made their instructions pretty clear and easy. Look forward for more DYI projects from this team.
Finally someone who actually has stuff in their garage. I see so many homes that have these oddly bare garages and I’m seriously wondering where people keep all their tools, camping gear, decorations, etc.
I have never seen father and son work together like you guys. I really enjoy seeing dad and son working together as a team. You have created a huge archive, simple but very elegant looking. Well done team.
Perfect timing…my wife just mentioned how she wants better shelving in the garage for all our stuff. I’ll buy the bins first and then determine the distance between the shelves based on the size of the storage bins. Thanks so much guys!
I appreciate this video. I just installed my first threaded rod garage shelf basically using this method (minus painting). It’s so strong, and it looks great except for the very first threaded rod which I eyeballed instead of using a level or laser to ensure plumb. 😅
10:54 "Little Bites". I like that.
My Dad has always said, "Don't be overwhelmed by the entire project. "CHUNK IT OFF".
Do necessary things in "Chunks".
I know what you meant & I really respect that work ethic.
I subscribed 10-9-22 near the end of the day.
Looking forward to seeing more of your channel.
I think that dad has leaked his name a couple times accidentally, but I don't remember it so the secret is safe .... for now.
I have made garage shelves like this with one difference, I drilled 3/8"+ holes through the thick side of the 2x4, then pushed the all thread thru, and then bolted the nuts with fender washers directly to the 2x's.
Nice job guys !!
that's the way i'd have done it too, and what i was thinking these guys were going to do
Yep I've done it that way too but thought y'all would like to see this method. A little cleaner and much less drilling👍
@@StudPack I did like that method. It is cleaner.
Great seeing Father/Son working so well together. Does my heart good to do projects with my son. America needs a lot more of this and we wouldn't be in the shape we are now. Nicely done video with no foul language and showing how to do a job the right way. 10 stars!
Thx DJ!!
Wish i had an amazing dad like this man! ❤️
Why I just found this video today who knows. I just bought a house and I’m 2 days into and need a excuse to buy new tools and to build a shelf system. I’m saving the video and going to tackle this with my son. He’s 9 so we’ll see how it goes. Thanks gentlemen
Beautiful work guys. Jordan's lucky to have such a cool dad.
Jordan here, I agree!
@@StudPack may i say that you’re both quite blesst having each other. just two illustrations of what real men are made of.
30yrs, 4 kids, a real mom, a real dad. kinda sounds like a real family.
clearly, luck had not a thing in the world to do with a cool dad and a cool son. im thinkin who how and what you are just runs in the family.
and, your content is so good im not sure how you cld really improve it. your honesty respect integrity transparency, are fairly w/o rival.
likewise the quality of your videos.
i cannot get enough of your videos.
thank you very much gents!
very well and nicely done.
I’m 51 years old, never seen anyone do the magnet trick to find studs. Brilliant. I’m doing this very soon.
Great idea never seen the threaded rod method,I used turnbuckles and chain on mine,great video
The energy between the two of you is very refreshing. Also not often that I see people who pay attention to detail and pride in their workmanship. Thank you for the opportunity to see that
Glad I found y'all. This is a nicer and cleaner looking setup.
This is one of the first Stud Pack videos I watched. I was searching for shelving ideas for my own garage. While I didn’t use the hangers like this it sure did give me the ideas on how to proceed. I now have the usable parts of 3 walls covered in shelving. My walls are 10’6” high and I struggled to find a good solution. I now have 2 rows 2’ deep and I spaced them to fit totes and/or buckets. Next project may be pipe rails and a library ladder for access.
Nice work boys! My new place has a detached metal shop/garage, so doing something like this is a lot more difficult. I had similar setup at my last house, with suspended loft style shelving, just used 2x4 for the supports instead of threaded rod. That father-son relationship is awesome too!
4 yrs later and you guys blew past that 20k name reveal target and sitting at 656k subs.😮. Here to see how you used threaded rod. Great work.
Well done guys!
This was the first SP video I saw way back and even did this on one shelf in my garage (more to come over garage door)!
Love seeing the growth on this channel, Paul’s transformation on screen, & now Rad to boot! The Garage-Mahal is awesome!
You guys are great together. Until 20k, I'll just call mystery man Stud Pack 1. Take care, y'all.
Oh yeah, I checked, you passed that sub rate, what’s your name?
You look really familiar.
I just want to say, you tell us you were embarrassed at the state of the garage. You have one that mirrors many! So the first point is - don't worry about the mess lol. But mostly I wanted to say thanks for being humble enough to still include the project on the channel even though it was embarrassing a bit. I hope the number of views you got shows you it was needed! Keep it up.
Good to see Jordan wearing his construction flip-flops.
Love this content!! Couple years ago I bought a 40ft shipping container and wanted to line one whole side with shelves. I'm a little OCD and like my screws to line up. I spent a little extra time building some jigs outta scraps laying around and saved loads of time not having to measure for each and every screw on every 2×4. 15 shelves and the screws are in the exact same place on every one of them😁
I like the video, the shelves are really nice. I am thinking of how to employ your idea in my garage. The threaded rods are a game changer!
Wow! I love not only the instructional aspect of building the shelving unit but more than that how father and son absolutely have a great bond and chemistry working together, Awesome!!!
Thanks for this guys. Just found you and quickly subbed. I lost my dad too early back in 2015 (I was 26) and this brought back great memories of working with him on all sorts of garage projects. I look forward to doing the same with my son and daughter someday soon. Thanks and keep it up!
Oh and McMaster-Carr is far and away a favorite place for me to spend time. I am a design engineer and have created many a project using their extensive model catalog, haha. Great sales tool for them lol
What a great father and son team. I wish my dad is still around to do things together. Thanks for the video my friend.
You got it bud👍
Good job. I've been making similar shelves for years. You can cut out some of the hardware and give them a more refined look by drilling through the 2x4 with a sloppy hole and covering it with a fender washer and using 1/2"ø or 3/4"ø PVC pipe or electricians conduit as spacers, cut to the right length to provide the desired spread and use just one nut to tighten everything together. Also, its a good idea to get a locking nut up against that atr transition lag screw (i forget their proper name. If you have a little mig welder, they're easy to make). You can recess the bolt holes to hide the connection too and to hide the ends of whatever pipe you use. One more thing i have learned over the years is that shelves are plenty strong when they're made of 1x2 skeleton frames on edge and skinned with MDF on both sides to hide the cleat that attaches them to the wall or just skin the top surface. I really can't think of anything that I'm going to lift that high that needs to be supported by a 2x4 on edge and 1/2" OSB. If you're good with your wire tying , you can get away with hanging them the same way but using some good tiewire running inside the pipe, twisted tight and maybe capped off with a big wire nut up inside a recessed hole. Just hammer a teko nail through the side of the bottom hole and be sure the wire goes on each side of the nail and chuck both ends up in your drill. Being sure both ends of wire are equal in length. Put drill in low speed and tighten everything up. Definitely use EMT or MIP for this method.
ATR (all thread rod) is a great product to use coming from the ground also. Make some very solid legs to a stationary work bench or lumber rack the same way, by running it down the center of some pipe and capping it off with big washers and build off of that. Its best to anchor to the floor with a drop in anchor and anchor overhead with wedge anchors. But that's not going to be a residential issue.
Anyway, you said to comment, so i did. Furthermore, it was a pleasure to watch you two working together. You work well together. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. I'll subscribe and try to keep my comments to a minimum. It's just that i have got a lot of building and designing experience and sometimes i get a little sentimental.. lol
Much appreciated j dog Thx 💪👍
Great tip with the magnets! I like Franklin Pro Stud finders. They're great for illuminating the whole stud with a row of LED's, so center's are real easy to find, and also very affordable. I keep a couple at home and several in my jobsite arsenal.
That’s exactly what I was looking for, have high ceilings in my garage which is a waste of space until I found this video.
Spent a couple hours yesterday putting 6 of the 8' shelved together. What a quick and easy process. I've got the blocks on the wall and they are ready to hang. Just need to clear out the old junk shelving units and up they go! Great video guys!
I don't know why youtube suggested this video, but I'm glad it did. New subscriber here.
WOW!!!! Dedicated Christmas shelves!!!!!!
Thanks for the vid home improvement dad
Here's an additional tip. Built an extra shelf if you can as it makes a great platform for a makeshift scaffold by using two saw horses, you have a nice sturdy platform to stand on to reach things like painting the fascia and overhangs of your house. You can also place a regular 8' ladder on top of it for more reach. Just make sure your saw horses are wider than 2'
Also useful outside in the yard, sitting up across the truck bed, for reaching tree limbs that need cutting. Ask me how I know ... 🙂
Thanks to this video I built these in my garage and did it a little different but same concept. Really nailed it. I’ve been starting at them al day lol. I think what was really a great touch was the threaded rod and rod anchors. Probably the best part of this whole vid. Nice touch dad. Thanks
Awesome job! I'm looking forward to building some of these in my garage. Thank's for the inspiration!
Thx Kristen!!
You guys clearly do not live in California. Earthquakes happen frequently enough to encourage folks to cross brace shelving in order to restrain heavy items from falling off and harming the person trying to get out. That is a really professional and tidy look. Bravo!
Great idea and appreciated all of the threaded rod info and tricks. Now, I'm just waiting till the big name reveal at 20k!
Same
In case you’re still waiting, their names are Paul & Jordan Selleck. I saw a piece on them in some business mag!
Last name is Selleck, read the license plate.
No shortcuts. Precision. Taking the time to do things the right way. Hands down best youtube videos to learn 👍👍👍
My sister has a lot of holiday stuff too. So I'm sending her this video. She'll love the idea and have me replicate your work. My only question is if you plan to build in your garage, won't you either need a good vacuum system or maybe cover your shelves with a type of curtain to prevent everything from getting sawdust on.
Looks great, useful and actionable information; My garage is an unusual 22 feet high; I ran 2 x 8's all the around with lag bolts, just above the electric garage door; then butted 2 x 8's cross wise and used 1/4 inch cables with double nutted U-bolts connected to angle iron on the ceiling; something you will appreciate; put wheels on everything touching the floor; as a 90% disabled veteran after 25 years of service; it makes life a lot easier; except for the work bench, I also made the work bench topout of 2 x 8's with 4 x4 legs anchor bolted to the studs, made very surdy for the vice, bench grinder and baby drill press; with a second level and wrapped the sides in peg board to hang assortments of bolts boxes, screwed repurposed glass jar lids to the frame for loose odds and ends, and such, and small special tools used often; I have a 4' × 8' foot pegg board for larger tools on a wall framed in, and a small hardware store of supplies, I live out in the country pretty far out side of town, ( that's why I added a 3d printer to print hardware, not on hand ); I printed out all the outlet boxes and pvc angles for adding 10 each metered 30 amp, 240 volt, three phase, four prong locking, five wire outlets, and 22 each, 20 amp, 120 volt outlets. Since taking a pretty good whack playing in a middle eastern sand box; I cannot use my body to create value, ( walter reed tried to repair me twice ), so I work from home to help my wife retire a few years sooner with what I have left, so I built a Personal Data Processing Center in my garage; and even with a full size home HVAC blower motor mounted on the back wall to move out the heat from the compute units, I haven't turned my heat on since 2017; even on days like today that 10 degrees outside; and my house is still 75 degrees by just keeping the HVAC fan on to circulate the heat from the attached garage, and haven't even had a freeze burst in the copper water lines; but in July and August in Tennessee I have to run 22k BTU's of A/C to keep cool air moving through the processors, or the thermal paste turns into oil. Thanks for the quality content.
That's quite a garage - 22 foot ceiling height. Thanks for commenting and thanks for your service. The staff at Walter Reed is top notch. You must have gotten banged up pretty good 👍
Ya know I've watched a lot of garage organizations, and most are lies. Thank you for just posting what it actually is start and finish..well in progress
Nice shlves. If it were me I would add support to the inside corner of your ell shape shelve. It will sag without.
At the end you said this was an inexpensive shelf design. It was when you posted this for sure. Now, though, it's cheaper to build it with gold bars and platinum screws with all silver hardware.
In seriousness though, I love the idea, and when prices aren't so reprehensible, I may be doing this in my garage as well. Thanks for the idea and the content.
I used chains with a wood lag eyelet into the ceiling and a 4 screw bracket on the shelf instead of threaded rod. I think it looks cooler.
I wonder if it was a hassle to get it hooked up level with the chain link or if you were fine with it being close enough. Theirs seems to be very clean, precise and symmetrical. Howd yours turn out?
I love the threaded rod hangers. The one change I would make is to attach a 2x6 to the ceiling instead of a 2x4; this would allow for two extra screws into the ceiling rafters (at total of four per rod) for extra support. I would also screw these in at a slight angle so that the pull down force will not be totally on the screw threads themselves.
But I do love this simple project; optimizing space at a minimum cost.
10:17 I like the subtle "subscribe!" message you actually picked up a new sub with it......me lol
Ha, thanks. That one was my idea 😁
I did find this helpful. Looks like it could be the solution to our micro-garage storage issues. We're one of those strange couples who still park cars in the garage.
I miss the days of $2-ish 2x4s. They’re $5-6 now because of Covid.
Laughing in $12+ 2X4 here in June 😂
$12 . But , it’ll only be $1 - maybe even $0.50 / each , after Mr . Trump is re-elected for a third time . It’s always darkest before the dawn .
I love the dad and son dynamic! So respectful.
I need these shelves in my Garage! thanks for the Idea! OORAH
I have a 28'X32'X10' high attached garage, a 45'X32'X13' high shop, AND a 1,200o Sq Ft detached garage and I still need more room! Riding mower, DR mower, quad, quad trailer, pressure washer, tile saw, drift boat, jet ski, vertical air compressor, table saw with run-out table, wood laths, shaper, drill presses, two bag shop vac, five rolling tool chest, belt/disk sander, 13" wood planer, Legacy woodworking machine, panel saw, 4 maple workbenches, anvil on a stand, oxygen/acetylene tanks on A dolly, mig welder on a cart, Hossfeld bender,, and the supplies. YIKES !
Decorations and light stuff should be no problem, only too much heavy stuff.
I liked the fact that you only have fabricate the shelf itself and then use the threaded rod, supper cool idea.
His identity almost revealed. Who is this tool-belted crusader of home renovation and repair?
It is he who wields a jewel-encrusted hammer and a tool belt of fine Corinthian leather.
I don’t know if you have ever seen a high rise garage door lift conversion but it completely changes the space and appearance of your garage size!!! Would be a cool series to watch! Thank you for sharing!!!!
can you say "time for A GARAGE SALE"??
I feel as though this comment will go un heard, simply because this video is so old. Regardless of that, I need to stay inline with the previous comments on the value of father and son team. I divorced when my 2 boys were 6 and 3. They spent at least 3 or 4 days a week with me for the first 10 plus years after the divorce. In my younger years, I spent many weekends working with my dad doing simple projects around his house. Learning from him, about the stuff that he knew. Although he was a computer engineer, he grew up on a farm and learned a lot about building. My father inlaw was a builder, he thought me so much more, I then began teaching my dad and doing much bigger projects such as building an upstairs to his ranch house, adding an addition, a garage etc. My boys spent years working along side of me building so many different things like a huge log cabin, several home additions, installed a couple of swimming pools, the list seams endless. Passing that on to them has been my greatest joy. I wasn't a builder. I have always done autobody repair. Building was just one of those things I have always enjoyed. I still take every opportunity to build with my sons. They seam to love it when I do, every bit as much as I do. My oldest son is a doctor and the younger one is an opera singer who is all over the world. Neither are builders but they enjoy passing this same stuff off to their kids.
Watching you guys work together like this is just fabulous. Thanks for the tips you have passed on to me. Perhaps I'll have the opportunity to forward them to my boys and my grand children. I wish I could do more than subscribing and simply smashing the like button for you.
We have a basement but I’m getting too decrepit to keep hauling all of this Xmas junk up and down. Yeah, I called it junk, I am the original Grinch. What we actually need is a dumpster.
I am a single mum who is planning on making some shelves and this was great 😊 thank you 😊
"Found a garage"... where can I just find a garage to work in? Wtb garage.
The shelves with the threaded rod supports. Absolutely brilliant.
Thx Sergio!!
Hands down al Bs aside by fare the best shelf video out there and I've viewed dozens. Kept short , simple keep up the good work.
You guys are great. I love watching you light up when you talk about all thread pieces. Made me smile a little inside. I will be doing this in my garage.
Thx Bradley!!
I’m not even looking at building shelves yet, but the Son & Father bond is awesome is this video.
Love you guys as an amazing father and son team. May God keep you strong and closer as the years go by.
Really awesome work fellas!!! I’m a remodeler of almost 30 years, I’m totally adopting that idea, it rocks!!!!
Your projects and expertise are just awesome! I always learn so much. As a DIYer, I appreciate how you always introduce extremely helpful, little-known-of hardware and tools. Oh, and the charisma, too! Love watching your videos. Thank you!
I hope my son turns out as great as your son has. Great father!!!! Great son! Great team! 👍❤👍❤
Super appreciate that 👊
I supported my shelf from the ceiling using chain for a swing-set, the wire-type kind with double links. From the attic I cut two slits through the sheet rock on either side of the trusses and hung metal straps around them, through the ceiling and folded them inward to put a small bolt through them with one end of the chain in-between. The other end of the chain went through 1/2" holes drilled through the decking and the 2x4's and screws through the holes in the 2x4's secured the other end of the chain. I painted the whole thing white and used 1" square PVC hand rail "supports" to hide the chains, which I put the chains through before attaching them to the shelf. It was very cheap to produce, is structurally sound, will last the life of the house and yields a professional look that is very pleasing to the eye, like a drawing with simple lines would look. No threads, no nuts, no eye hooks, not even any visible mechanical means of support. Just a shelf with flexible plastic square tubes going to the ceiling.
Sounds really clean looking, nice job and thx for commenting!!
@@StudPack I think tomorrow I'm going to finish the job and drill holes at the tops and bottoms of the chain covers to shoot some white caulk into them so when it hardens they will stay solidly in place. My garage ceiling is 12 feet high and the shelf is 4 feet wide and 16 feet long. I literally have a half-ton of stuff up there! It blocks the light fixture making a dark space, so later I just might put some LED lighting strips inside the 2x4's and then put a plastic light diffusing panel to cover the whole bottom of the shelf.
Re: Your wise method for finding the exact center of a stud. I do the same thing, but on my garage the shelf was going up against block walls, so I just drilled holes and drove scrap wood pieces inside them and popped the screws right into the wood. A simple anchor from scrap wood.
I really like your chain idea. I get how you secured it through the ceiling, and ran the chain through the shelving frame, but how did you secure the chain at the very bottom? Thanks in advance for your response.
Love hanging shelve. Everytime I build shelves I always try to have them hand to keep stuff of the ground. Nice. I typically use wood for the look, but it's a compromise for the space the supports take up. Last allthread supports I did were not as seamless as yours but I drilled them through the front wood rails and used nuts and washers but then I also put 1/2" clear tubing around the rods so as not to damage anything if I had to drag it along the rods. Acted like a bushing almost. You guys are great! 👍
I have watched this video a couple times. I still learned something new. I love the wise old guy/ strong young guy vibe.
What old guy 😂🤔
The father/son chemistry is amazing.. Love it..
Thank you for making this video look doable for a non-handyman.
Great shelves. Have done the same in years past. If you have access to the attic, I usually just stab the threaded rod thru the sheetrock ceiling. Up anbove ceiling joist or truss span a support across 2 or 3 joist to spread out the load and nut them thru the support. Screw the support beam into the 2 or 3 ceiling joist. That makes for a hidden ceiling look and support. Just my way. Good video for beginners. I try to avoid special hardware cuz Im rather cheap.
That's a nice clean look Jeff. We have a full second story over the garage so no can do here.
Great job presenting the hardware specs and being upfront about costs. But though they're just a set of garage shelves, that threaded rod-through-the-I-bolt is just a very satisfy thing--it's got a 'rightness' to it. I'll definitely be watching your other videos. Thanks!
