🤣I hate when wood be trying to jump scare you!😂Nice work! I'm in the process of getting ready for a shop update/organization, I might just have to incorporate this into that.
When I built the lumber rack in my two car garage shop 22 years ago, I used an identical rear post design to what you used, making the lumber rack 18 feet long. My lumber rack is eight feet tall with only four shelves that are two feet wide (the bottom shelf is about a foot above the floor, and the top shelf is roughly a foot from the top). To add extra strength, I added a 2x4 connected to the outside ends of the 2x4 shelf boards, added a doubled up 2x4 supporting the outside ends of the shelf boards at each end of the lumber rack, and also added a double up 2x4 at about 8 feet from one end of the rack. I used a lot of wood glue in the build up in addition to using screws, thinking that the glue would add a lot of strength to the build (I had read that screws do not have a lot of shear strength). The 2x4s at the big box stores in my area are marked SPF, indicating that the 2x4s in the stack are cut from spruce, pine, or fir trees. The fir boards are stronger than spruce and pine boards, so I spent a lot of time digging through the pile of 2x4 boards looking for fir boards that were straight and had no large knots. I went to a woodworking auction today where a lot of very good wood was sold at mostly low prices. The previous owner of the property at the auction originally had his wood in lumber racks, and he did something very smart that I had not seen before. On the ends of each board, he wrote the wood species, the approximate length of the board, and special qualities that the board has such as clear (knot free), quarter sawn, curly, etc.
@@burnstockwoodworking that makes sense. I'd also imagine the kiln dried stuff would've been either scared straight or had the demons scared out by the heat. Lol
I like the camera angles you’re able to get with the bigger shop. Fun stuff. Waiting for that video where the shop lights are at full power. Another month for power?
M8 that looks wicked imagine your wood pile times it by about 5 then drop a bomb in middle of it all and thata getting close what mine looks like right now. Deffo gonna get some these built got some cls sitting waiting to have sommit done with it just found it. Oh got new toy aswell to add to shop. Gonna try wood turning. Got me a lathe to try supplement in between projects so watch this space they'll be sommit heading your way soon. 🏴👍
@@burnstockwoodworking granted mine is only a cheap (equivalent to your home depot) but will get me started. Hope your good. Can't wait for next videos. 🏴👍
Oops!!!! You ideally want those stickers directly over your shelf, when you don't place them over you can induce some warping into your boards. Nice shelf for storage though!
@@burnstockwoodworking I concur with him. I have learned the hard way or expensive way. Stick as much as you can. It will warp any chance you give it. Love your channel ❤
I have a bunch of free hard wood from pallets that is about 3/4 thick and 4" wide, lots of oak and maple. Would that thinner wood work as well? or would it be better with 2x4's?
Plywood is on the ground below the rack. The stickers are to keep air flow around the boards and prevent warping as much as possible / allowing the wood to better acclimate to the shop climate

I have no idea if you realise just how entertaining your videos are, as well as instructive. Top job, m'friend. Top job.
Thanks, I appreciate that very much!

😂😂 I actually bruised my palm from that shot, getting too old for the stupidity 😆
@@burnstockwoodworking the joke was worth the pain...well from my end 😂

Jeez that's a lot of lumber, good on ya! That's something I need to start doing, writing species and appx length/width
Wow, that lumber though! My lumber is mostly a bunch of 1-2 foot cutoffs from 2x4s that I think I might need someday. Great project.
That's about ten years of collection 😂
Love this idea!
Awesome!
Never experienced jump scares from my lumber storage... now I'm wary to go to it 😬
😂
It's mainly the reclaimed lumber that does it. Kinda like a rescue animal, you never know what kinda history you're getting with those 😆

Quick, simple, gets the job done. Can’t ask for more than that 👏
Thanks!

I have no idea on power. They just installed everything needed to run the wire but now they won't give me a date on actually running it.
Brilliant work, dude! Really well done! 😃
I definitely need to make something like that as well!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!

Didn't know that, thanks! Gonna go move em around now, much appreciated!

Nice work. Build video for sheet storage too?
Thanks! I probably should because I have a ton of extra 1/2" ply

👍👍
why do you use the stickers on the boards? Where did you put all the plywood?
Plywood is on the ground below the rack. The stickers are to keep air flow around the boards and prevent warping as much as possible / allowing the wood to better acclimate to the shop climate
ZZZZZZZ
Uh, what? what?
Ok, I'm awake 🥱
