How to build a Wooden Swivel Bike Rack!

[@onebackzach]

Pro-tip: When gluing end-grain, especially with oak, put some glue on the end grain and massage/press it in with your finger so it will absorb, wait a few minutes, and then apply more glue and assemble the whole thing. The end grain of wood is basically just a bunch of tiny straws, so it tends to soak up glue, and as a result the glue joints tend to fail. By presoaking them with glue and letting it harden up a bit you can reduce the likelihood of running into problems with it.

The Wood Clip you made on your Instagram was SICK!

[@rev_dude]

Massive respect for showing construction using hand tools and basic methods! You prove we dont need a fully stocked woodshop to make something great!

[@badlucklazyguy]

Right, I particularly enjoyed the part where he pulled out a dovetail jig and Dewalt router with dovetail bit and did it by hand ;)

[@williamgoldman5248]

Yeah but I still want a wood shop... With all the new and old tools of course

[@emiliofabris9282]

Being so young and enjoying the craft of Woodworking is impressive and You're an inspiration for all your age. Your patience and discipline is next level. Keep it up young man, you have a bright future

[@angusmccoll2246]

just finished making this and it has saved me tons of space I previously couldn't fit my car in my garage and have my bikes in there, after making these I can now have my car in my garage also. :)

[@dsmithmcse]

Great video. It inspired me to build my own to replace the floor based bike storage I have in my work shop. I actually built four of the racks using different types of wood. First rack I built out of Red Oak. It's definitely strong and holds my Specialized Roubaix with no problem, Rack # 2 I built out a Red Oak & Poplar. Again nice and strong and holds my DIY Bamboo Gravel Bike with no issues. Racks 3 & 4 are built out of Birch and are for my Mt. Bikes. I built all four over a period of 5 days and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I gained just over 20" of floor space and the bike storage looks 100% nicer. Thx for the video once again

[@THEOLSONS_OUTDOORADVENTURES]

Thanks so much, I've been looking for something to hold my bikes that was out of the way and now I can build one that just doubles the fun!

[@ellieswanson4397]

Hey Seth! Fellow Missourian/MTB girl here! Just wanted to say that the production quality of your videos is outstanding! Also love your passion for woodworking and how you’ve integrated it into your mountain biking hobby. I enjoy both as well!

[@harrygrimley4352]

I've watched this twice and I'm still impressed. Suck part is I just remodeled my garage last year. Might have to rethink.

[@jacobcasby9893]

Thank you for another weekend project! With the bitter cold weather we’re getting in Missouri this week I would love to see some bike cave content!

[@wotchannel7064]

Definitely going to build this look sick and saves space

[@julianmcgregor7949]

Love your woodwork videos. And really appreciate that you did it with hand tools as well. FYI: checking that something is "level side to side", ie perfectly vertical, is called "plumb". There's a tool called a "Plumb Bob" that you can use to check if something is plumb.

[@jimmychuckmcbizz]

Awesome look. I discovered a trick when designing a Murphy bed using gas pipe. If your vertical pipes were 3/4” with T’s top and bottom, you could mount two horizontal 1/2” pipes stood off the wall slightly that would pass through the 3/4” T’s. Now your racks can swivel and slide. Next we have to figure out a rack that can hold a rear wheel and we’re really saving space!

[@TimberRides]

Love this idea! With having maybe a couple to many bikes this will help clean up my shop area a lot! I will be taking this project on for sure!

[@bodiefuller9562]

Dude, that'so sick! You give me so much inspiration!!

[@amneziaxeaster-gaming382]

I really like your hand made vibe, with the hand powered drill and many other antique woodworking tools

[@floloewen3196]

I’m really really enjoying the woodworking side of this channel keep up the great work👍🏼👍🏼

[@Tom-sc4qk]

These are great! I have been looking all over You Tube and these look the best by far

[@tavant6903]

This is a really kewl project - thank you for sharing your talent and idea with us all!

[@harrygrimley4352]

This is an awesome idea. I was impressed by the inginuity and skill.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Whoa, this is awesome! Game changer for bike storage, no question!

[@RideAlongside]

Dude! I’ve been trying to figure out how to build these. Thanks Seth! -Nick 😃👍

[@mytbioutdoors4928]

Great, just what I need, another project. 😉 This looks amazing! I will definitely be copying your design.

[@vladomie]

Love the "Woodwright Shop" background music 🎵🎶 while using the draw knife 😁

[@tamarawcyclists2759]

I would love to have one of this on my wall, great diy tut.

[@reidmartin3479]

This is some insane craftsmanship. Amazing job! I’m going to do the same thing but with a sheet of plywood, some screws, and a jig saw! 😂

[@DIYflyer]

Fantastic. I was researching just this. And was wondering how to put the swivel parts in. Awesome 👏

[@sujitc2411]

i love your idea. this is the one i was looking for.. i have to try for myself one. Keep making video like this..

[@64maxpower]

Great idea! Love this design

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Dude, you are a craftsman. Impressive for a young kid. Good job.

[@minimtb3154]

Awesome idea like always. Very creative!

[@XCBen]

That's a dope accessory. Nice!

[@Bazerca]

Very inspiring, great job!

[@willjones5816]

Quick way to get the inside radius-you can drill a hole using a hole saw (whatever the radius is). Then all you have are the straight cuts.

[@shredgnar1685]

dude your videos are so awesome and make me want to get out there and ride.

[@DeadsetYT]

The production quality on this episode is super clean!! Love those sounds of the wood creaking and cracking, so good.

[@jamesbooth1860]

Cool build man, very well designed 👏

[@MrAnimal1971]

I've been holding onto some oak for "a project" lol. I now have that project. Nice work!!!

[@EpicMTB]

The legend is back!!!

[@needstacos4892]

Solid. Was looking for something like this. 🤘

[@jonathanlemire2797]

Super nice! I wish you made that video a month and a half ago. I bought a bunch of bike hooks because i couldn't find a DIY swivel mount option.

[@paulnestelte8880]

Looks awesome !

[@NoBrakes23]

I really dig the multi-method instructions

[@davidmoyer6435]

I love the hand tool vids

[@jordanrhodes]

Very talented. Nice job.

[@billadams8681]

I store my bikes this way. I put a micro fiber rag over the grips/levers to keep them from scratching each other. Mainly they are to help keep us from getting a bar end to the face though.

[@kennylakits4093]

Great build, couldn't find the plans. Would love them to make a few of these. Big Thx

[@mikewatson8776]

Dude! Great presentation. Excellent people skills and attractive behavior! Refreshing to watch you do your thing.

[@nofrontbrakes]

I like these so much more than the Steadyracks I have!

[@beerenmusli8220]

Woah, thats awesome!!!

[@Andrew_Sherman]

Finally! Someone using the draw knife in a video.... Good Job.

[@matthewgorby1592]

I have waited so hard for this video

[@dawnkangas2968]

Awesome build

[@raulsegovia4420]

Solid video saved me money

[@vasuhardeo1418]

Dude that was awesome

[@alxblas2234]

Super nice!.

[@geokite]

What a nice video, thanks!

[@user-lu2ds1ei3q]

No way I could EVER do this! But I would love to buy some from you 👀👀👀

[@raleighcase9725]

This is really dope

[@thejoshmonty]

Hey man love the build, I was just starting to plan a swivel rack for my bikes and this is perfect. Thought you might want to know the term to "level side to side" is to "plumb" . Great work and thanks for the sketchup plans!

[@brianthompson1045]

Thumbs up! My wife has been after to hang up our ebikes! Great timing for a winter project. Thanks

[@sergigorchs7329]

Brilliant !

[@Peak_Mtb]

This video is awesome

[@macbird1241]

Video suggestion: Try and make a kicker ramp that can be disassembled and re assembled without using any screws and you can wear it as a backpack for transportation, very similar to the mtb hopper ramps.

[@joriggs8948]

Thanks i'm going to build one now.

[@Kev.in-Bike]

Very Nice job

[@jackbutler2970]

I need one of these!

[@theshadoz]

I like the idea, I wish I have space in my small apartment for this.

[@jorgeherrera4194]

cool build

[@Ncthan08]

I’m a kid and I love this lol

[@bradleywatters6209]

Nice video 👍👍

[@biocordfpv5826]

Looks dope ;)

I love your vid’s

[@shredgnar1685]

awesome video

[@noahthegildedone5917]

Super cool bro. I guess I found a new channel to follow🤷🏽‍♂️

[@davidsdrawings]

good job

[@chuckhenderson7036]

Very nice.....yep ordered metal rack.

[@tylera5598]

TY!! I wanted to diy a swivel houseplant shelf but I couldn't figure out what people were using to make it lol

[@cameronjacobi9211]

I really need to make that.

[@b3arwithm3]

Beautiful racks. Although I wouldn't put so much details (like dovetails) for something mounted in my garage.

[@MrVerdo1]

Great work. Only thing I would change is the width of the holding rails. Could be better to make them half inch or more wider. Would be a shame if they snapped from the weight of the bike after all your hard work. 👍

[@nolanmoriarty8920]

He should do more videos of his garage, he could hand make benches and stuff. Kinda like how Seth Alvo did on Berm Peak

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Nice.

[@bkxc]

Super nice!! (But I’m gonna buy the one on Amazon)

[@godsforces1776]

Yea .. you gotta have a complete woodshop as a prerequisite for this project

[@NobitaKun6]

this is exactly what I need. Btw, do you think PVC is an alternative option for building the wooden part?

[@alansmith4734]

10:00 I didn't see any, but you might want to add washers onto the bottom of the piping, so that the wood swivels on the washer and not on the wood base! If you want to save cash, use 2 plastic washers stacked on each other, cut out of a soda bottle.

[@MohamedAli-pu3ko]

Whats good my man

[@RideAlongside]

What oak lumber did you use for the build? 8ft 2x6?

[@ebd3255]

looks so sick will have to try this sometime. whats the wood you normally use in your projects normally (i forgot the name but it has the slight red tinge to it)?

[@matthewgorby1592]

I can't wait for another subscriber trail!

[@BackyardTrailBuilds]

I'm headed to check out the next possible location of the subscriber trail today!

[@matthewgorby1592]

@@BackyardTrailBuilds Epic, can't wait.

[@monkeyslaye]

Would you consider making these as kits? Like you get the hardwood, cut them so that they just need to be assembled, and then package them and sell them? I would definitely order one! (I don't have the tools to make this but really want it!)

[@shaunbellefeuille3941]

Question!! What do you think it cost for all the material to make it? Awesome vid...

[@topgundk]

Studs in your wall, how cute :) We build out of brick on the other side of the pond. Did you not learn anything from "The three little pigs" ? :D PS. Love your videos man.

[@64maxpower]

You have a dovetail jig and porter cable router but a hand brace instead of a cordless drill

[@TaimoDerBoss]

Seths bike Racks

[@michaelworley7517]

You should use recycled wood as in pallets and other reused parts and not so much brand new wood. It will benefit people who are wanting to build stuff for a low budget give it a thought. :)

[@jack91522]

Would you have preferred a rack on rails that slide horizontally? Would that save more space?

[@user-hd8ej8yx9p]

Any concerns on storing hikes vertically?

[@jorgschwarz8656]

Hi, can you show us the exact dimensions? Especially how high the vertical cutout must be. And how much distance do you have between 2 holders so that no bike is damaged?
