[@annalaoretti5240]

I’ve watched your other videos on how to do these shelves but it was actually SUPER helpful to see how you do it by yourself. The tips/tricks were great!

[@kellypeters1734]

With Ryan's kzbin.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

[@mollyheyer6056]

You're really posting a link to some shitty and totally overprized shed plans on this channel where you're getting excellent advise for free???!!! You're downright brazen!

[@linshannon4480]

It's nice to see these scaled up for the workshop. Thanks, Jacob, for illustrating that it's not just Ana who can build these!

[@augustreil]

I remember you doing this in your garage. Nice, simple, inexpensive way to build shelving. Great video and thumbs up !!

[@debvoz]

Thank you so much! These are great shelves and showing how to do them solo, and with minimal tools, really helps! I know what I'll be doing next spring!

[@maryblaylock6545]

Oh thank you thank you thank you! I'm a lone carpenter and that means coming up with ways to move things from point A to B and how to hold them still and in place while you work on 'em. This info was just the ticket. Bless both of you and your family and friends! 💟🦌🦉🐱

[@bobbi4082]

You two have grown so much especially Jacob since you started with your ‘Mom’ houses. More vibrant screen delivery and presentation. Good job on the house and projects. Great job on the kids and channel.

[@jochenmueller5898]

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@fluidartbymemememay5064]

Love watching your plans come together and your whole family. You guys are amazing!

[@thedrizz1913]

Quick and super user friendly!!! I just built these across the entire back of my garage and added doors. Thanks Ana and Jacob!

[@ballsdeep9648]

Just built this. Thanks for posting. I will warn you though that this will take you longer than an hour and a half to build if your garage is anything like mine and you have to push all the crap out of the way to actually make space to build. Then add in time that you spend tripping over all of your shit, time spent at the ER because an injury related to tripping over said shit, time finding your tools, and you’re easily at a day or two worth of work. In all seriousness though, this is an easy and cost effective build. I added jack studs to the front legs at the end to help make the front legs stronger. I would recommend the same. You will sleep better at night.

[@jessejpeterson]

I literally spewed DR pepper from my nose reading this comment. IT BURNS

[@user-Elle41]

It’s nice to know there are other “messy” garages out there. Mine is not the only one lol

[@Kimba12367]

Lol 😂

[@janetpeterson7489]

Too funny, and soooo true to what is going on in my garage! I'm a bit of a wood hoarder, and what I'm using to store it isn't very efficient. I spent yesterday doing exactly what you described, with the intent of focusing on building it today. I unloaded the wood, removed the hangers, and spent a good deal of time trying to locate one of my five tape measures, one of my many sized levels, etc. So far, no injuries, but I think I managed to get my 10,000 steps in just LOOKING for shit!!!

[@nathaliep8512]

Totally! 😂It’ll take me a few hours to clear out all our crap first, without injuries! The build will be a breeze. Then sorting thru, recycling, donating and tossing of said crap. Then put it all away on our pretty new shelves.

[@garynagle3093]

Fast. Simple. Love it. Great explanation Jacob.

[@d.e.t4147]

I've made two sets of shelves so far for my mothers huge garage. Watching this again as a refresher since I'll be building some up in my garage this weekend. I had home depot do the big cuts for me which saved a lot of time and mess. Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge man!

[@suepeterson5675]

Thank you for sharing !! Your experience in wood working is a joy to watch. You made this shelving at a very affordable price. I think I'm going to try this one out. Thank you again 👍👍💖😊

[@williamborges3914]

Simply brilliant! Brilliant design, Ana, and brilliant instruction, Jacob! Thank you.

[@LichNosos]

I have made these in the past based off an older video yinz did. They are so simple, yet so great. I use the kreg for joining the supports to rear horizontal 2x4. Big box store offers 2 cuts for free at the panel saw so I have them rip my OSB there, saves me a step. Thanks for great ideas and plans!

[@scottoakley1135]

thank you and your wife for this. i've used the method once and am about to use it again. very straightforward and your explanation was equally straightforward and easy to follow...well done.

[@bryandenos101]

Thank you soo very much Jacob! I finally got around to completing this project over the weekend and it turned out fantastic. I did it by myself and it took around 5 hours, as I don’t have much experience in building, and have never done anything like this by myself. I couldn’t have done it without your tricks and tips, and when I explained to friends and family how I did this with no helper and in a single day, they were all amazed. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@jbb5470]

Great looking shelves. I really like the details you verbally added, helps keep costs down for sure! Thanks for posting

[@priayief]

VERY helpful! I'm not a professional and I've built several of these types of shelves. Lots of simple and useful tips in this video. Thanks.

[@belladonna4076]

That was really Awesome and i really wanted to make some shelving, it just looked so hard and such a huge task, but not now, you made it so easy and your shelves look so Awesome, Thanks for sharing.

[@KathyaKalinine]

You’re so kind to pass along all of your brilliant building tips and designs. Thank you...awesome work and it looks fantastic!

[@Kenfitzpat]

Jacob you are a perfect example of someone who can work alone and still get the job done. For many years I have come up with different ways to get the job done by myself when help wasn’t available. It goes even faster when you have help. You guys really get things done. I never miss a video. Thanks for sharing all this.

[@grominwithrob1339]

The only way I can get a job done is by myself!😂🤣 When I did HVAC, I used to work weekends because no one would be in my way. I could finish twice the work in half the time. 👍

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Great idea for the shelves. This method could also be used to make bunk beds in a cabin. Simple, cheap and sturdy

[@Richeyliddell18]

I just made these shelves last weekend I'm not any kind of carpenter and I did a little customization to fit my needs ....great video definitely was a confidence booster for me ...thank you!

[@Thutch32]

Awesome video. I think this is the best video I've seen on how to build your own garage shelving. You really took the complexity and mystery out of building a shelf. Thanks so much for this video. I will be using this to build my own.

[@johnm2482]

You sir are an excellent teacher. Thank you.

[@loiscloud3583]

This is awesome! can't wait to try it. Have been looking for a quick easy way to build heavy duty shelves for my garage! Thank you for the video!!

[@debbydhill]

I've always loved the simplicity of this. Great job Jacob, I heard you fine.

[@celestinabrown7032]

I remember when I built mine. The hubby took the kids to soccer practice and when he came back I was done. Love love Ana White plans

[@joyce9857]

Wow really??

[@lilmommalady76]

Awesome 👩‍🔧🛠👍🏽

[@YoAug62]

So happy for this recommendation. Temporarily sistering the horizontal 2x4s and then attaching the verticals is just the tip I needed. I think I can do this now by myself. My shelves won't be as tall as yours. TFS👏👏👏

[@barbaraness4507]

My husband built shelves for my sewing/craft room this way! I love them!

[@nathaliep8512]

PERFECT! Excellent, easy, inexpensive shelves! You guys really did a great job with the video too. I like that the first shelf build is detailed and then the second shelf build is time lapsed. Cute baby at the end. Thanks so much for sharing! 🤓👍🏼

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Our pleasure!

[@evelynmccagg9579]

Wow!! I love those,I need some more shelves, I think I can do that! Thank you for sharing this,love yalls videos..

[@paulabritt5168]

I used your design a few years ago for my garage. After several videos and much planning I took on the project. I installed them all by myself. The best thing I ever did. Thank you so much

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Great to hear!

[@dialdude01]

Jacob, awesome video. It adds nicely to the short video Ana did for this shelving. I loved the tips and they REALLY helped. Thanks for the help.

[@cindyhenry1410]

Love this video! It shows how a project can be done with basic tools and a solo person. Thank you for that! ❤️🦋💜

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Happy to help, thanks for the visit!

[@Idontwantachann]

I wish I would have seen this before we built our storage shelves. This is way more efficient and one person friendly. Thank you!

[@pamelaallen6543]

You and Ana are amazing!. I'm so glad both of you are a part of your KZbin channel.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@resourcefulgirl]

My new house is just weeks away from being move in ready! I watched all of your garage shelving videos and decided your way was exactly how to do it. I told my daughter how simple you made it and had her watch the video. Before you got to the part where you barely screwed in the horizontal 2x4s to the ones attached to the wall she said "I don't know what the big deal is." Kids right? Then she realized what you were doing and I could tell she was impressed and she said "That is so smart!!" When she builds her first set of shelves I guarantee you she will do it the exact same way. Thanks you guys!!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Exciting, so happy to help!

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

What I like to do when I rip plywood is to screw on a board to ride the saw against so I don't even need to eyeball the cut line at all during cutting. Very ingenious method! Love it! Will be using this in my fam's garage!

[@gailtaylor1636]

I can't cut a straight line with a circular saw without a guide board. The cordless saw has to help but I always get the wobbles.

[@merle1929]

I do the same. Much easier

[@errolandbeth]

Great video, simple instruction and easy to follow along. Thanks.

[@shawnvong5909]

Thanks for sharing your handy work Jacob. Looks Great!👍👍👍

[@aubreygmcghee]

Great job! Thanks for the tip. Gonna build these in the garage. Just what I have needed for a while. I can't even wall through my garage right now.

[@DonTXPgr]

Good job. I remember your other video how to build shelves like that. I did save that for my future garage when I am able to move into country in North Texas smile

[@elvdell5582]

By far the best instructional for utility shelves I've seen so far. I'm building a set this weekend and this is perfect. I love it. Nuff said.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zzremington]

Excellent video, well done - I'm getting ready to tackle this and will have it playing as I build - thanks again.

[@glenhlemick5487]

Built these same shelves in my brothers garage after watching the first video of this, thank you

[@brandtgroehler7613]

I love the simplicity of this build. Thank you for showing me this. I appreciate it very much.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad to help!

[@xezekial]

Outstanding video. Finished two sets of shelves this weekend after watching this. Learned a lot along the way. Second set went up easier than the first.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Fantastic!

[@delandisdillard3527]

Thanks. Put everything in my HD cart to hopefully get this done this weekend.

[@gyous4277]

Your presentation and simple explanation are just awesome! Thanks much for sharing

[@tro8191]

Awesome! It’s 2 AM where I live and I’m gonna start right now! Y’all motivated me!

[@rcud1]

I used this and made some very similar shelves. They turned out great. I had a few issues such as a 3" sloping foundation lip on the bottom that made it difficult to line up the boards to take out. That was the hard part. But if I were to make again though I would make my shelves 32" wide instead of 24". I've found 24" is just not wide enough for me. Would require a couple extra 2x4's and sheets of osb for shelves but well worth it imo.

[@Danehavenlane]

Took me 4 hours, but wait, 2 1/2 cleaning up the area. Worked like a champ! Very sturdy thanks for the video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@glennyparham3848]

Excellent tip. I will be renovating my store room. This presentation adds more clarity to what I was about to do. Great job. Thanks.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Carnivore-Dwayne]

Awesome no nonsense instructional video. Thank you very much.🙏🏻

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

[@Mavrik9000]

This is the quickest method out of several garage shelf videos!

[@jeevespreston]

Did this today, getting the garage back under control!

[@GalvTexGuy]

I've been wanting to do these shelves ever since I first watched this video last year. I just completed mine today. Unfortunately, mine probably costs twice as much as yours did because of the outrageous lumber prices. The good thing is there is virtually no waste and I'm glad I finally got it done. Now, to get everything in my garage sorted out and make good use my new shelves. Thanks for the awesome video! 👍🏻

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Sweet! Yes, lumber prices are ridiculous right now...

[@ShilohsBride]

This is an extremely helpful and informative video. Thank you!

[@Maria-ys5sc]

Ana is a good carpenter engineer, she figures out how to effectively and efficiently things works. You should do courses on how to use that software (I think it's called sketchup, not sure though).

[@dinlondon5432]

Good morning

[@djbowe]

I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. I have used this to make a number of shelves in my garage and others

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

You're very welcome!

[@chrisbaldam7749]

Don’t know how many of these vids I’ve seen doing this but I keep coming back to watch yours easily the most instructional one so on with mine in the morning “ UK time “ , might take a little longer bcos I’m screwing to brickwork, but all the same principals THANKS saved yours for sizes 👌

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Excellent, thanks!

Awesome instructional video! 100% going to get started this weekend with shelving in my garage! Thanks for the tips.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

[@rkfarmranch8214]

Thanks, it’s a great video for a beginner like myself who doesn’t have a lot of the fancy tools. Appreciate how you explained everything. Thank you very much.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@komandrew]

I can't believe I didn't think of the spacer block when I was building these after watching your first video

[@OdySlim]

Thanks. I am looking for shelf ideas for my pole building. Your shelving is exactly what I need. Regards from Ody Slim

[@stilcrazychris]

What a wonderful teacher Jacob is. Very nice & looked pretty simple. I know it was hard work though. That plywood is not light. Now I know how to build shelves all by myself thanks to y'alls help & instructions & design by Ana White. I would like to try this sometime when my husband is off fishing one night. Ha, wouldn't he be surprised when he came back from fishing. Then if I told him I did it all by myself he would probably say, ha, your Mother helped you hold those boards up for you. Then I could say ha, your wrong sucker..... lol.... Thanks again guys. Your the best, Chris from Missouri

[@bruscifer]

I built something just like this a few years back when I did an add on to my shop/garage. It was cheap and not hard to do, however it would have been easier if I had used some of your tricks there. I shall be using those ideas when I do some shelves in my main garage in a little while. Thanks for the tips!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Fantastic!

[@SouthPaw1011]

I cant thank you enough for this. God bless brother

[@iendoftime8781]

You are a great teacher, you explain everything very well. You should do a video on, how to use and cut straight, with a circular saw.

[@user-vz6cm2jn9d]

Thanks for the concept. I built this in our garage 3 years ago and it's been great - now I need to build a second set! I adapted your idea to make it easier and avoid toeing in screws at the shelf ends, something I wasn't comfortable doing. Instead, I placed the shelf support ends outside the parallel front & back pieces. In this way, I was able to screw straight into the longer supports. Much easier!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Great Paul!

[@number6396]

Yes! Toenailing is hard. I did what you did and butt jointed the end pieces and screwed directly into the horizontal 2x4s.

[@moraleswarnold]

Wow. Thanks for idea. We appreciate you and your family. Many blessings.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you!

Fantastic, so happy to help!

[@susiestokely3811]

Great tutorial, design, and execution!

[@daviddavid9837]

Great design. I modified it using 8-foot 2×3 uprights and horizontals, 16-inch deep shelves of 3/8 ply cut at Lowe's. I put in 13-inch 2x3 supports between the horizontals every 2 feet. Really strong. Really easy for this novice. I put up 2 8-foot units, and as soon as I get the stuff up off the floor and onto the shelves, two more are going in. So glad I found your video. Thanks.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Nice work!

[@chaseman]

Ana, you and Jacob made my project possible, on a budget I might add! Thank you!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Wonderful!

[@LeeBottomley]

That’s an excellent video. Very impressed how you temporary fixed the horizontal pieces to the timber already on the back wall, which became the outer frame. Massive time saver 👌

Binge watching so many videos. Have a 12x24 shed ordered. ZT, and 2 push mowers and wood working tools so was looking for shelving ideas. For a 1 man band this seems to be tje smartest yet! Also have pocket hole jig so your commentary on this and tips on keep saw lined up properly is a big help for a non-carpenter guy like me. Yeah I'm late to this party but TY for this!😊

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Awesome, happy to help!
