- How to put 20 feet of cabinets on 9 feet of wall! I couldn't afford the ultimate storage cabinet for my garage so I built it. This is the ultimate space-saving storage solution ever! You won't believe how this storage system works and how much it will hold. If you need garage space then you need to build this cabinet. I built mine for a fraction of the cost of the inspiration storage cabinet. I saved $5,000. Be sure to check out my garage makeover video where I saved thousands more!

Good job. A couple of points for others. Instead of building the ends as post, just build the ends as shelves with post in the corners, as there is no real need to move either of the two end sections. Also, by putting a backing panel in the middle ( or offset from center ) you can make the sliding sections double faced. And lastly why not dado with the dado setup you already have on the radial arm saw ? That being said, it is still a nice project as you did it.
@@hongtanke - exactly the same I wanted to post just now. Foot pedal for power or doubled emergency stop would eliminate the problem. "high tech" solution would be auto cutoff if RPM = 0 & Power != 0 & t = 2s. Also easy to do but not as easy as two first methods.
Nice work, I think this systems been in our heads for a while.. makes you think though, couldn't you just fit that all on the wall?
Great build. You could save even more by making the 2 end units stationary and they could hold the whole assembly up. No need to have them slide unnecessarily. Just a thought.
That’s true. It would save a couple hundred dollars.
I would never have thought of that. Excellent improvement in many ways, more stable, easier to build shorter span for trolly track might not require metal tubing support.
@@HAXMAN Each sliding unit could also have shelves on both sides, cutting the trolley cost in half.
Likely cheaper still to just have fixed wheels on the bottom for 2 units with front and back shelves and then 2 single sided units on each end. Resulting in 3 different openings of shelves either side.
@@ErikTroyer Great idea! And possibly some very low profile track to keep them aligned side to side.
This is amazing! The commercial system is so cool, but also so insanely expensive. Something we did on a similar system was take a photo of each sliding-shelf, showing everything on it, and then printed it off and put it in a small picture frame attached to the shop-facing side of each shelf unit. Makes "looking" for stuff so much faster.
You see systems like this in many law offices where they need to store a bunch of records in a small space. You just need enough space to allow for however many different parts you want to access at once. In an extreme case, you only need an extra 4' or so of space on top of the physical width of the shelves.
Putting the trolley in after welding is actually an improvement. If one goes bad in the future you can more easily replace it.
Not sure how easy future replacement will be unless it is on the end he cut out. Now if he did a cutout about 1/3 into the track and spaced it to where he could bolt the cut out bit of Unistrut in place. Also if you don't have access to a welder for this job, It will be a pain with the 2x6s but, you should be able to bolt the two together.
I also wonder if aircraft cable might be a mounting option instead of the additional plate for the slides.
I love building things with strut! Its one of my go-to tools.
They make double sections of strut. Similat to how you welded the things together, ao anybody could have that added stability off the shelf with no welding needed.
You could have built the entire assembly from the struts if you had wanted to. They make attachments for all of that and there are strut nuts that make it a cake walk to bolt the entire assembly together and then you can easily take it down or modify it if you ever need to. They even have floor mounting plates like what you used to attach ypur 4x4 posts.
Super fun to watch.
Thanks! Good to know.
The radial arm saw brings me back to my first year carpentry class in high school, back in '98 or '99, and the teacher warned us that the radial arm saw will kick back. He can hear when it happens, but for us whom are all deaf, we have to go by the feel. I was cutting some solid oak plank - maybe 12" wide I can't remember it's like a lifetime ago - and sure enough, the saw immediately tried to kick back, but because of his warning and my stance, I was able to prevent the saw from trying to chew up my hands or take out my shoulder as I was braced in anticipation of these kickback. When the saw kickback, my teacher immediately swiveled his head to check on me, and I nodded to let him know I got it.
Was the router that got a kid in my class(I was a kid too), routered the tip of his finger right off. Held it up, it shot blood in an arc, girl feinted... shop was cancelled for the day. Good times! Kid was trying to router a bevel on a wooden yoyo so hand routering a tiny 2 inch circle.
@@menchelke My teacher once relayed a story of this stupid kid who was trying to show off how strong he was by trying to stop a table saw blade with his hand. Tore up his hand. Ever since that instance, the shop teacher is the only one allowed to run the table saw.
@@trevorgreene5059 And I thought the yoyo story was stupid. Grabbing a saw blade doesn't even compute as to how a human being that dumb made it past childhood.
hope you didn't get sick after welding the strut to the tube. Welding galvanized metal requires good ventilation to prevent breathing in the vaporized zinc. It will make you feel terrible for a few days. Project looks great though. I'll be building something similar in the future.
If you do get sick, make sure to drink a lot of milk.
Shout out to the wife for being the patient camera woman! Most underrated thing of the episode. 😅
Have to say, Haxmeister...damned impressive! As an old time maintenance electrician, love that you used one of the best inventions ever, the conduit rack and trolley system! Well done, young man! Very well done! Always look forward to seeing what's happening in Hax-Land with you, your lovely wife and all the young Hax-Ladies. Keep the good times rolling! Take care, be safe and God bless!
Thank you very much Jim!
You forgot the gorilla!
I worked in hospital where they kept medical records in system similar to this. I had often thought how nice it would be to have my library in one. Now, it just might possible.
I like that idea!
Exactly 👍
During college, I used to work summers in a saw mill. They had a 24" pendulum (swing) saw which was terrifying as it was belt driven and the off switch was a couple of steps away. The guy who normally worked it has one bicep twice the size of the other, and a slip up could launch the saw blade at your chest, so you had to respect that saw. The radial arm saw I used had a rotating head and I would rotate it 90 degrees and run a gang blade to rip boards into 1" stakes for mine surveyors to use - The push stick was a broom. Amazingly I still have all my fingers!
I like the color coded shelves idea in the comments. I would also make labels to put on magnets, of what is on each shelf, onto a small steel plate on the visible side of the shelf. When you move a tool, move the magnet/label to the shelf.
3:05 You definitely want to go a little smaller as the friction of forcing the woods fibers apart is part of why lags hold so well. 😊
I imagine the compressed wood might add a little tensile strength as well.
For thick pieces of wood, the ‘slightly smaller’ pre-drill for screws is great… Not so much for smaller pieces, and/or where there is a potential for the wood to split along the grain. Very apparent when repurposing pallet wood.
I would never do this. But watched the entire video because it was entertaining and educational.
I actually built my own Levrack-clone last fall! Mine is painted mint green. I was able to find 12ft 7k-lbs pallet rack beams and 2 uprights on Facebook Marketplace for around $200! Built the cabinets from birch plywood and used flat steel, angle steel, and nylon caster wheels to build the trolleys that hold the cabinets. Those channels you used would have been a lot easier! Thanks for the video!
That looks really great! Would be a good addition to my shop, so I'll definitely keep it in mind. The only two things I would add are: another 1x2 across some of the shelves to keep smaller stuff from falling out. You may open them slowly, but will your kids? And some handles on the outside to be able to move the shelves without the risk of pinching fingers.
I'm really glad I clicked the video! In the thumbnail for a bit I almost didn't because I was thinking there's no way I could ever build anything like that, not gonna bother.... But you actually came up with something awesome and do-able!
Awesome, I'm stealing this in the future. Only critique? Add rubber bumpers so you don't mar the paint job between the racks.
Best youtube channel for men and fathers hands down ❤
Thank you very much! That means a lot to me.
It does seem entirely nonghey for sures ...
I have been listing over that rack system for a long time now, but I can not justify the price of it. I really like how it works and stores stuff, but again, price. Then you came along and totally found a budget DIY solution for something that works basically the same. The one change you made.....it's completely customizable to what you want. Thank you, sir! You're awesome and have earned yourself a new follower
Thank you!
WOW I wish I could make one or more of these. These would work for a pantry or tool organizer or sewing room storage and the list goes on and on. Awesome!!
Brilliant idea! I've been looking at making something along that line, but couldn't decide on suitable hardware. That channel with trolleys is a game changer. An idea I came up with for small spaces: the structure could straddle a doorway so that no wall space is wasted for the access. The cabinets facing the doorway gap could hold stuff that would be needed for outdoors. The cabinets could also be hanging in front of the door when you want to provide extra security against intruders.
Whoa you could actually use the conduit and trolleys to make a barn style door too! I wonder if they make conduit that also curves so that your door could recess against weater stripping.
@@AttemptMade interesting idea. I've seen old-fashioned metal curtain tracks here in the UK, shaped like miniature I-beams, which are bent into a very slight double curve near the end so that curtains can overlap in the middle. Funny enough, those types of rails use little roller hooks that are in principle very similar to the trolleys shown here, except they straddle the single beam. I've considered using them for moving light containers. I'll have to re-examine that idea.
1300 is still pricey but this one seems worth it. This may be my favorite one of your projects.
The Levrack system is hard to beat in a professional setting but on the flip side the design is so awesome/easy to replicate for home/personal use at a smaller scale.
I have been using a radial arm saw for over 30years . It has been my dado cutter, planer, sander, table saw, miter saw, pin router, etc. lots of accessories for it on eBay. One thing you might try on dado cuts is bring blade out and lock it, slide board in behind blade, clamp board, start, then push blade towards rear. This always puts pressure against fence and helps keep blade from grabbing and trying to move forward and bind (as you demonstrated). Also, adding t-slot channel to saw table for clamping is a very good idea(especially if you take the time to use the clamps which I always do). Hold down clamps for radial saws are available on eBay. And lastly(saw this on another TH-cam channel) have a tourniquet at every saw. Great video btw.
What a great storage idea. I’m always improving my garage/Man Cave and would love this in there.
LOL! The gorilla peeking through the door at the end was funny!
When I was about 16, I thought I was alone in the house, and I heard something out in the garage. I ignored it, thinking I was just hearing things. Then I heard it again, so I crept over to the door (glass like that, but with a curtain on the inside). I peeked through the curtain, and this gorilla head suddenly pops up, and I nearly crap my pants while staggering backwards. My dad said the look on my face was absolutely priceless. Yeah... thanks pops.
10:18 When lifting something that's too heavy for your ladder, you should put one end on the structure 1st. We do it all the time with garage headers.😊
30 seconds in, I had to press the Like button. Storage will always be (for a lot of us DIYers and semi-pros) the sinews of the war.
Oh my, this will be shared with two men who need to see this!
Love this idea for crafts too!❤️
excellent video as usual! if you wanted to forego the welding all together, you could always make the cabinets longer and get some rigid fixed non-swivel casters to put on the bottom and then just connect that top rail to another 4x4 wood post instead of welding. although then you wouldn't get to play with a welder :P
great job it looks super solid, I do have a couple of suggestions, firstly put small whiteboards on the outside of each cabinet so you can label what's in there, second would have been to color each shelf different so that you get a visual guide to what's in each draw, things like "oh, all the saws and saw accessories are in the in the red shelf" etc.
Just Wow. Your vision and problem solving. The best storage system made affordable. Brilliant Job.
The Haxman has returned. Greetings, fellow Floridian!
What about Texas! Lol
It's all about us Floridians today bud.
North FL, the real Florida, checking in.
@@matthewthompson7012 what do you mean, que tu no puedes hablar Español?
even the gringos speak Spanish here in the South.
@@matthewthompson7012 Would that be commie Tallahassee, or commie Jacksonville? Perhaps commie Gainesville?
When you've got one hand on the saw and the other on the wood, your nose suddenly becomes very useful.
Put a red mushroom kill switch you hit with your forehead.
Could probably relocate or add a kill switch that could be activated with a knee or foot.
A foot pedal seems more safe but bopping a button with your forehead sounds more fun. Perhaps have both. Also, use a switch in the pedal that requires it be depressed to engage.
So a library book archive shelf unit. Nice.
I got rid of my dads ole craftsman radial arm saw for just that reason! You're right about the pucker factor! Great vid.
I grew up with, and still own, my father’s under powered 1950 Dewalt radial arm saw. Table saws scare me much more. If the saw stalls, push the trolly back to the start and try again - but more slooowly. Keep your fingers out of the blade path and you should be safe especially if you never do a rip cut, which can only be safe if you push the material so the blade is NOT climbing - opposite of the rip.
Just sent this to my husband. Our garage has been in need of a good storage space and organization for a looong time. Thank you for sharing this!
Awesome! Thanks
All husbands hate this man
@@DavidLee-cw6ci 🤣
@@RedWolfRun careful what you ask for though, don't be surprised if he tells you ok but he'll need to buy $4000 worth of tools to build it!
And, if you like it, why not give making it a try on your own?
I hugged this video. So much appreciation, We NEED this in our basement. Thanks,!
I work with 8020 aluminium extrusion which has linear slides and a tonne of stuff like the strut channel. Keep it in mind if youu are doing smaller projects where you want lego style production rather than welding and whatnot :).
I still have my dad’s craftsman radial arm saw. It is connected to 240V, and NEVER stalls like that.
We had the same idea! I need to make hangin trolly system.. however definitely clean off the galvanized coating before you weld.. sweet build tho! Glad to have found the channel
Yeah zinc fumes are no bueno.
@@BenNawrath def not my friend
the channel can be bought painted rather than galvanized. But your warning should be heeded.
I have been searching for this video for months trying to figure out the best way of building exactly this piece! Nice work. Subscribed!
Thanks!
I absolutely love the Ryobi green ❤
Love the rollercoaster of emotions. Damaging the ceiling, probably feeling stupid and thinking "oops'' to your wife, then trolling her a bit later, already knowing there was a victory there, followed up with a clear sigh of relief and achievement. Makes me feel like I could do it myself.
I didn't know I needed this for my shop, but now I do. Going to borrow your idea and make several changes to make it work for me.
Absolutely BRILLIANT. I love watching clever people solve problems. WINNING. love it
I love what you did. I just found my winter project. Thank you!
You know that you're building a filing cabinet system that's in every doctors office. 😊
Exactly!
These wouldn't make very good systems for a doctors office, they would weigh too much, I build storage systems for a living on a massive scale and they all run on tracks in the floor so they can take the weight, if your interested in looking then check out Bruynzeel storage systems.
*was. Nobody uses those today.
@@mediocreman2yep, everything is digital now. The only paper files are old hard copies
@@mediocreman2they still use this system to store equipment and supplies in some respiratory therapy departments in hospitals.
Some libraries also use shelves like these for books.📚
Very exciting to see a new Haxman video release when battling insomnia at 1 am! As always great work 👍🏼
Thanks! Sweet dreams
this is perfect. I have been looking for a way to condense all my clamps so its not taking up a 24 foot section of wall in my shop. custom furniture results in a lot of clamps or various styles and lengths. now i can seperate them by type and have 5 racks in less then half the space. thank you very much for this idea.
Brilliant solution! The frame is great if you can't/don't want to rely on attaching the struts to joists. (I've been looking at options like this too). And love color too, especially inside cabinets as it's easier to see what's inside!
It looks amazing, what I would like to add is a 1~2" spacer between the cabinets to prevent the inevitable finger crush and to make them easier to open even with gloves
Yeah they're giving radial arm saws away on Facebook marketplace.
Incidentally, pallet racks are popping up pretty cheap too, but I think the 4x4s look better.
Pretty cool. This type of system is commonly used in offices and schools. I was in the stock room at the school I teach at and thought a storage system like this would be pure gold in a shop. The one at my site was built in the late 50s. The six double sided shelf sections are 2 feet wide about 20 feet deep, 8 feet tall, all hard wood with adjustable shelves. They are supported by an overhead track, and two tracks set into the foundation which look like railroad track. They roll smooth as butter because back in the day, things were well built. The linear shelf space is insane.
Canadian eh! Your colours are fantastic! And the rolling storage video is amazing!
I find that your communication and explanation is perfect for me! I like that you explain the tool, use, and process!
I want this garage and your videos make me feel that l can do it myself!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Yes, is Canadian love Robbie’s!
That would make an amazing bookcase for someone who has a lot of books and not a lot of room... like me.
Most Excellent Idea!
You have room for stuff on top of the shelves, too! Toss some milk crates up there for some extra storage!
Rolling aisle storage was being done with filing cabinets in the 1970s. All it took was rollers bolted under the cabinets.
We think you did great; professionally done project. Sure beats hanging up closet "shoe" organizers on a hanging rod!
for some reason, I want a hamburger now. ;)
Just strut. Strut. Great video, thanks.
I just love your show you make me laugh all the time. Your wife is a very lucky women she has a man that works very hard for his family. I really like that idea! God bless you all.
Thank you! I’m going to go tell her you said that right now. 😂
Im impressed! This is so great! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
I've seen this in commercial settings. Brilliant.
I was looking to build something similar about a year ago, got stuck in the same place as you. Great solution.
I just saw this video, amazing job. I love those sliding cabinet style storage great for maximizing storage while conserving floor space.
I have never seen this system, but a few years ago, I thought up pretty much this exact concept myself. I have been wanting to build something like it and your video gives some great pointers if I ever do decide to make such a thing. I'm not a woodworker and don't have the tools to make one, btw. But I'm good at figuring out stuff.
One change I might make would be to make less sliding shelves but making them wider and put the backing in the middle of the shelf, thus making each sliding shelf double as two (shelves on the front and back).
Great job and I love the vibrant colors.
Wow, amazing. Absolutely love this.
That's awesome. That might be my favorite part of your garage.
Thank you!
this is really awesome.will keep this in mind when i have my garage organized even more and it saves so much room.really great idea to build it by yourself
Really like the trolley system for hanging that kind of weight. I am going to use a modified version of this in my garage thanks for the idea its awesome.
I've had the same experience with the dado head, ripping and crosscutting. Scary. I believe way back Crapsman either provided or sold an attachment that provided "braking" to the carriage to prevent that sort of thing. Sasquatch watching through window.... Once again super idea!
Thanks man, I’m definitely using this as the inspiration for my office
I need this for the library
Upgrades, add a 1x2 lip to the shelves so items don't fall out when sliding the units back and forth. Also, lots of labels, or plexi windows cut into the sides so you can quickly see what is in each shelf unit.
This is amazing! Yes I’ve seen these storage things but honestly homemade is almost always better when done well and that’s what this is! Customized, durable and you can customize storage as you go! I bet you could use the back of some of these shelves nd place french cleats or screw on more organizers because it looks like you have plenty of room
The cabinet is really neat I enjoyed watching the build. Smart with the aluminum sheets for the end to avoid tearing through the wood.
As far as the casters go, they make non swivel models that would work perfectly for this and never swivel for forward or reverse. For the welding, don't be scared of it. I'm self taught and used TH-cam to learn. Its an amazing skill to have and so useful. If you ever want to learn, reach out to me I'm Florida as well.
I've been looking for this build for a while! Ill definitely be doing this in the future
You would be surprised how many people don't predrill holes and the way you explained it was prefect.
This one is one of the best DIY out there. Saving this vid on my playlist for when the time comes that I need to build one. This is just great and cost efficient too!
Wow, thanks!
I grew up on a radial arm saw as a kid; still have it now. Back when stupid kids getting hurt was tragic but not a reason to "never again" or sue. You just have to have that thing pull forward once and you never forget to keep clear of it. Also, generally it's best to push in to cut (like a table saw's direction)
What a great build! Thank you for sharing this with us and I LOVE the bright green!
Bloody brilliant, well done. I'm going to do something similar. Thanks for sharing.😊
Thank you so much for this video. You gave me another option on how to save space in my limited space workroom. Great job on this video. 🙂
Very cool. Love the color and the sliding action. Looked like a lot of work, though. I just put together a Seville 18" deep x 72" high x 36" wide cabinet with 4 shelves on HD castors for my garage, at $220 (Sams Club). 5 of them is $1100 plus tax. Another option to consider. It took a minute to assemble, but it is very sturdy and could stack up the same way. Each would have their own locking doors too. I may look into that as I am very tight on space as well. Inspiring project!
That turned out "AMAAAAAAZING"!! I may have to do something like that in my own garage. Thanks man.
Thank you!
You did an amazing job! Can't wait to build this too.
Thanks for another great DIY project.
Great video. Gives me an idea for my garage storage space. Thank you!
I want this for my junks in my home!! thanks for your idea!
Love it! looks so neat and tidy when not in use.
For the radial at saw... Make a foot pedal switch. I use a 2 outlet steel box with a 125vac rated switch that powers a high amp relay. The output from the relay goes to an outlet mounted in a single outlet box mounted to the dual outlet box.
This build was awesome! 🤩 It could even serve for different things depending on dimensions. A pantry or a closet would be great. If you're creative, you could have something like that in a bedroom as the base of a loft bed and use two fixed units on the ends and set one side up as a desk/work area with the shelf immediately behind one end as a bookcase and file cabinet. The two on the opposite end could be a dresser/shelf plus hanging closet storage. Then any extras in the middle would be general storage. Perfect, compact solution for a studio apartment, tiny home, small bedroom or perhaps a shared kids room. So many possibilities! 😁👍
Put a foot paddle switch on the power cord. This will enable you to cut the power without using your hands. Helpful for lots of tools.
It’s amazing what you can cook in cast iron. One pot king!! Nice video.
@Haxman thanks for the lessons...I've been "racking" my brain for ideas when making my workshop. I don't have a lot of upper body strength due to health issues...I've been trying to think of a system to move heavy items from floor to working surfaces and back safely...those strut channels will certainly help.
I recommend you add handles or finger slots on the ends to avoid getting your fingers jammed in between.
Don't worry about mistakes...it's an opportunity to learn and grow. When you freestyle you will make mistakes once in a while! I should put that on a t-shirt...lol.
Great build! Been trying to figure something out like this myself. Love it!
