"Know how I know" I'm still laughing! 🤣
Same here
Too much. That was just too much
Bro is a menace 😂
I don’t get it, how does he know..took me 3 times then got it. 👀
Talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees 🌳
*cries in 7ft ceiling*
Yea the ceiling in my shop is 7’5😂
6'10" here... and I'm 6'7"
Ceiling 182 cm, head 190 cm. Has caused my back to warp.
i can fit a 8ft ladder in my 7ft room, it can be possible
*shots of trees*.... That's some top notch snark.
Ceiling height is probably the limiting factor for 90% of home woodworkers.
why? I have an 8 x 6,5ft room for my workshop, but the ceiling is 11,6 ft. The only advantage I had with my ceiling is when I had to build a ladder. Althought I have my stock stored vertical and now thinking about storing horizontal over my head.
my problem is 10ft boards vs 7ft ceilings... 😭
Just cut em in half, glue em back together when you need a ten footer. Pft, easy
6ft boards + board stretcher !
Just cut a hole in the ceiling.
Vertical does warp boards more. Had an issue so I lay it down now with fewer problems. Depends on the humidity swings in your area.
I always went vertical simply for the ease of use, but in shops I’ve been in with horizontal storage I notice significantly more bowing. You have to be vigilant about appropriate spacing of your racks to properly support longer boards, and you have to be careful about keeping everything neat and tidy so there isn’t too much weight on top of other material
what are those great metal shelves for vertical storage from the video and where can you get them?
Thanks
Lol the telephone pole cut
Well, I think boards are not exactly the same as living trees or round posts. But, anyway.
I will say, I stored some 2x4s vertical and they did bow.. Granted they were wet.. But it CAN happen! Haha
You found straight 2x4’s? Come on now tell the truth. 😂
@@dontfit6380 I didn't say they weren't bowed.. They just bowed more! Lol
@@GageDrums 👍
MDF can really get warped if stored leaning against a wall.
As does plywood. And doors (leaning against walls), and kitchen work tops.
Do you rest the ends directly on the concrete floor? I have heard that is a problem with respect to wicking of moisture up from the floor...
It depends on where you live. In Australia, concrete absorbs moisture because the ground is drier than concrete. In England it's the other way around afaik.
I have cobblestone in the basement. Sand underneath. It gets wet. Put some scrap wood on the floor, problem solved
You could maybe get a silicone mat and put it under the boards. Or an even cheaper option might be a roll of plastic or tarp type thing.
When the trees came on screen I was like 🗿🗿🗿
Love the hat.
Great advice!
Have to store my wood horizontally due to lack of floor space but store the boards on edge. No more problems with bowing and access is easy too.
Your idea 💡 makes the most sense imo 👍. Plus no need for those metal dividers he uses which look expensive.
This is awesome!
Trees grow with rings, it is the equivalent of gluing opposing grin together to stop warping!
They also grow is such a way as to maintain the centre of gravity above the trunk.
Not saying you are wrong, just that the tree is not the best example!
I've also had a 7ft walnut board vertically stored for about 3 years. Still straight. I think it depends on stable humidity.
The only problem is when you have limited floor space. I have a one-car garage and basically HAVE to put my lumber horizontal on the wall if I want to have any amount of lumber on hand and still have tools in the garage.
Whay do you recommend for shorter length scraps (e.g. 6 in. to 2 ft.)?
Just before you said you know how I know I was thinking their trees, so ya. Well done sir.
Hi, where we can found those racks you have?
Where did you get the metal rack?
Are those bike stalls that are the enameled racks?
I wish my shop had higher ceilings and I'm limited to ~7'... I'm forced into horizontal wall storage for my good lumber, but I make do and have mine above a general work counter on one side of the shop. Construction lumber/trim/panels/etc. are kept in a separate store room, also with horizontal racks. All racks are 16" on center to match up with studs and prevent bowing.
LMAO THANK YOU :)
Go Cards!
Nice.
Looks like walking through the lumber at Rockler
I have a lot more wall space than floor space so I opted for horizontal.
What do you do for smaller pieces?
I stack diagonal.
Vertical takes up valuable floor space
Sheet goods have to use up floor space but a machine can be used under the horizontal board space
Hmm. Good point.
Respect the Cards hat
hi. my workshop is 8 x 6,5 ft. But one side of my ceiling is 11,6 ft in height. I was thinking about horizontal storage but it would be above my head and tools, that's scary. But keeping my stock vertical is taking 47" x 19" off my floor space. Which option would you think it's better under these circumstances?
Only two options? What about diagonal?
Can you dry fresh cut greenwood vertically without any warping?
As long as it’s vertical. I have dried many slabs storing them vertical.
Man stacks wood
Trees LIVE vertical
You are doing horizontal wrong you need access to the end of the boards so you can pull them out easily
3rd option, diagonal.
you forgot diagonal
So instead of JUST taking up wall space, you take up floor space as well... I don’t know about you, but I still can’t put anything on the wall if I have an 8 foot board sticking up 8 feet against an 8 foot wall.
8' boards take up 8 feet of space on the wall no matter what you do. If you place those boards vertically, in quantities most small shops have, you can fit it all within a smaller footprint of maybe 4'. So it's simply a question of would you rather lose 8' of wall space or 4' of wall space and 4' of floor space. No right or wrong, just depends on what space you want to sacrifice. But add to it the ease of accessing boards and never needing a ladder to get to them, for me, vertical wins hands down.
I'm not gonna lie I feel pretty dumb after "know how I know" cuz I was thinking about that question
Assumes I have 8 feet of space, :D we here a Crawl Space Creations have only 5'11" (1.8m) ceilings, the proprietor is only fractionally shorter 5'10" (1.77m). :P
Wait I don't get it... How are those trees not warping 😂
Challenge here is my roof is not tall enough. I am using a space I can't use for anything else. BUT I won't argue with any of your logic.
Lmao the research was fucking nature bro you gotta store vertical now!
says the guy with 12 foot ceilings
14 foot, actually.
@@woodwhisperer ❤ it!!!
Vertical is better to prevent cupping and checking because it allows better air flow around the pieces. That's why trees don't cup or develop checking at the ends.
As a former video production person, I will say, vertical video sucks! No ifs, ands or buts, wrong aspect.
That said, nice video on storage, just film horizontal.
I don't disagree but unfortunately, our opinions don't amount to anything. The platforms push what people want to see and the vast majority of viewers are totally cool with vertical video. It's a segment of the current video content market that cannot be ignored.
I disagree as well. Vertical is meant to be viewed on a phone.
Most TH-cam viewers are on a phone. :) Maybe we should just go all vertical all the time. lol
Boards will only warp if they get wet repeatedly
