Bike Rack (scooters and skateboards too) // How-To | I Like To Make Stuff

[@csmolins]

I am really glad that most of the KZbin woodworkers and makers show when they mess something up or have to go back to the drawing board in mid construction, it helps to know that you guys are human like the rest of us.

[@Wwgeek]

Paint the other side with chalk board paint. Let your kids decorate it and leave you messages. Also another way to leave yourself messages, to remind you to pick up something as you leave. Might have to write it big, and your neighbors will know when you're out of TP, but that's a different story.

[@Geeksmithing]

+Woodworking Geek He said the chalkboard paint thing at the end of the video broseph ;)

[@Wwgeek]

Yeah I need to not type comments as I'm watching the video. lol. I heard what he said, then thought, well crap. So that's why I added the message/joke about TP. :P To lazy to backspace

[@Geeksmithing]

+Woodworking Geek haha

[@Geeksmithing]

+Woodworking Geek it's all good. He never reads these anymore anyways.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Geeksmithing Yes I do! :)

[@CMRWoodworks]

I like how you made it to where everything is hidden from the front. Great idea.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Awesome project Bob, looks and works great

[@JonathanBugg]

This is a great idea. Really enjoying the variety on your channel. Always looking forward to what you come up with next.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Jonathan Bugg Thanks Jonathan!

[@mmustapicst]

Every time I watch these videos I think how Bob is genius. Incredible work every time!

[@RivertownWoodcraft]

As a dad I love these types of projects! Nice work! Jim

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Thumbs up for the build and the sweet vintage Vespa. I had a restored 1961 that I loved with the 3 speed twist grip.

[@laurakampf]

very cool project. it looks super clean and i bet your kids love to have their own "big-garage". very good system to have all the stuff look organized. thanks for sharing

[@Woodtoolsworkshop]

I've had the idea of a bike rack floating around in the back of my mind for a while now. Your design is great for your situation, but we only have two, and they are about the only things left in my shop that aren't woodworking-related (besides the freezer). I thought of using one-inch galvanized pipe for a rack and running a chain around one of the carport posts to keep it safe. But another possibility is installing overhead hooks under the carport and hanging them there. Locking them up and hiding them from view would be a consideration; in fact, I'm afraid that two bicycles hanging in plain view would serve as a lure to bring thieves up the driveway, where they might figure out that what's in the shop is a lot more valuable than what's hanging in the carport. Thanks for this inspirational video!

[@SpecificLove7]

And I thought we had a bunch of bikes and stuff. I like the simplicity and usefulness. Nicely done.

[@TomAllenBird]

Great project Bob! Very creative. Thank you for including the measurement "miscalculation". I do this stuff all the time and it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who does that.

[@capnskustomworks]

That came out beautifully, what a great way to keep the yard looking clean! I love how you're demonstrating those "This is completely not how I wanna do this anymore after more thought" moments that all of us Makers know so well!!! Hahaha...

[@paultitmuss]

Absolutely love this project! Having young kids myself, I know how hard it is to store all of their garden toys. Great idea - thanks for sharing..

[@BruceAUlrich]

Looks really nice with the pallets on the back side. You really can't tell that there is so much stuff on the other side.

[@mihumus]

Definitely looks much more organized and well used space. Very nice job, Bob!

[@ragtie6177]

Great video Bob. what a great dad you are! my best to you and your family in your ventures...

[@mrd9534]

Whilst I may not make everything you show on your channel, your ideas inspire me to create other adaptions! For example, I'm going to make a much smaller version and use it as folder storage in the office! 👍🏼

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Dominic Bradley Awesome!

[@jimmyb4489]

Great video. A very cleaver yet hidden way to store the kids bikes and boards. Always looking forward to see what project you tackle next.

[@hutsonslounge1822]

I have watched this video so many time over the last few years and only now I realised she said 12 inch boards first off Love the work can’t stop watching

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Love the idea,we have a caravan and although we only have 4 grandkids we have extra bikes for when their friends come around so this perfect for that. I will cover mine with plywood as I intend to use your idea of a giant chalkboard for them to draw on

[@CJyoumark456]

Common sense solution for a common problem. Well done Bob. My favorite part was use of the speed square. Can't imagine why I hadn't thought of that.

[@Mopardude]

A planter or bench would be a nice way to finish off the other side too.

[@bigboisardiness6932]

True

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Very nice and simple at the same time! I guess that framing nailer makes everything faster! cool!

[@TheAmusingMe]

Really excellent project video! You can see that a lot of thought and planning went in to the design.

[@CommanderCool76]

This looks great. I will be building a shed this spring and needed a bike rack ideas to store all the exact same things your kids have. Only have three but they all have a bike, scooter, little tikes car(s), skateboard, pogo stick and who knows what else. My first solution was hang them in my garage, but would have ran out of room.

[@RyanHaworth]

0:24 you mention those boards are "12 inch" boards. Otherwise great project, Bob! I especially like the way you always show your "oops!" and change the projects. Keep that up. Though, I know you will, as you've said in your videos.

[@FacadeDrummer22]

I noticed that too. Still knew what he was talking about.

[@AndyLawsonawl]

Nice one Bob! That looks great! My oldest is only 3 and it's amazing the amount of stuff they accumulate. I like your solution.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Great idea Bob. What was on that pallet?!

[@crazedman6786]

awesome bike rack. wish had thought like that when i built mine. may see a revision in the future. nicely done

[@TheWoodLab]

Sweet project Bob. I like how the bikes etc are hidden like that. -Jim

[@Nickbox]

I love the idea of painting it with chalkboard paint. Awesome video of something very useful!

[@aMUSEed1]

Great functional project Bob! Nice work

[@VasilisKarastergios]

I always enjoy watching you make stuff, you are the man bob!! Keep the projects coming, Greeting from Greece.

[@AndrewSetters]

Great project, Bob. Simple, functional.

[@doubleb_tv]

That's an awesome structure, Bob! Somehow I see a logo painted on there too. Keep making stuff.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Nice build! You have a few wheels there! Thanks for sharing!

[@skillit32]

Very cool, really like how it hides the bikes and stuff so nicely.

[@leonardocavallo1760]

I've never seen one KZbinr like you, great job!!!

[@CrownMountainWoodworks]

Cool project. I love how the front looks too.

[@CalvindeVos]

I like how you include your mistakes. I love your channel! sweet diy stuff! keep it up

[@kdr1210]

Awesome idea! My wife wants me to build one for our 4 kids. Thanks for sharing!

[@shaymishra435]

amazing video! what a great person, builder, and parent!

[@MauriceBlok]

That's a nice project! (Always amazed with ,how you guys in the states, have really fast growing timbers from your local home depots.)

[@hugo.teixeira]

+Maurice Blok I love your videos! I'm an european as well, idk how they build houses on that stuff

[@MrMarcshair]

OMG, you literally nailed it! nice Video 'Bob'. Keep up the good work

[@scotthutson736]

Nice project Bob. Well done!

[@fununclenerfs]

It is so satisfying to see it filled up with bikes and helmets and what not

[@kokoloko12398]

Hey Bob, Love your projects, always great stuff ! Hope 2016 will be a new year with even more new projects ! Best from France.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+kokoloko12398 Thank you!!

[@Neffers_UK]

A length of wire stretched tight across the wider upper section would a be a good solution to prevent the skateboards working loose on a windy day, use it to hang the boards up by the trucks. It would make it easier to hang them up after use too - the smallest kid wouldn't be walking in with a bump on his head after trying for the umpteenth time to rest the tail on the shelf. Nice build.

[@GageDrums]

great video Bob! glad to see a woodworking project! keep it up!

[@realpdm]

This is great thanks for sharing. I wish I had an outside covered area that would work for it. I have 3 kids with a similar number of toys to store. For now I'm parking on the driveway and they have taken over the garage. Need to get them off the floor some how but still so they can access the toys themselves.

[@CATDABOSS]

super cool idea, I'm the second oldest of 9 and just may be building a longer on of these on the spring

[@cocogana]

3:32 "and it tells me where to stop when I pull in!" sounds like you crash into your house usually XD

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Noor Awad No, there's usually just a bunch of bikes laying around that I ca't see when I drive in :)

[@cocogana]

+I Like To Make Stuff this is when I go "ahaaaaaa" xD

[@cocogana]

+Noor Awad very neat project, just kids now have to put the bikes and everything else where it belongs, or else bikes will get crushed lol

[@zsandmann]

Four kids? It looks like you are running a daycare :) Great project though.

[@ot0m0t0]

+ZSandmann I think its more. :)

[@DavidBishopinc]

Thats a lot of bikes and stuff. A well needed project for you for sure.

[@iiarahere]

i like the way u include your trial and errors, just real world people

[@StoneandSonsWorkshop]

I really like this idea, bob! With three boys we have stuff everywhere.

[@JeffWomack]

I look forward to your videos and love your approach to things. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your arcade cabinet. I've got one in the works as well. After that I'll be tackling a American Girl doll house. Good times.

[@XUltraPunchx]

Some netting on those top helmet areas would be great storage for balls, frisbees, etc. Cool project!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+BaronZombie Great idea!

[@TheMudaheranwa]

You have an inspiring channel keep up the good work ... all your projects are interesting.

[@eviebee4]

This is such a great video! All of your videos and so clear and easy to follow along. Thank you so much!

[@kyler3683]

I like how it's all hidden from view, deterrent and looks clean

[@kyletorfin]

Excellent! I love the way this hides the clutter.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Kyle Torfin It's been such a huge visual improvement at our house. I can't believe it took me so long to set the time aside to do it!

[@christianneilgalendez8083]

Been waiting a new project for couple of weeks and I could say its worth the wait seeing you work again Bob. :)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Christian Neil Galendez Thanks! Lots more on the way!

[@christianneilgalendez8083]

+I Like To Make Stuff looking forward for it.

[@Tappar1]

I had never thought to use a speed square like that, very cool

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Great idea Bob and nicely done!

[@alsmith1025]

Good stuff. like the chalkboard idea.

[@SynteconlineAuSupplements]

Love it! Very durable and well made

[@JMTosses]

Very nice - I built a shed for the bikes due to weather conditions as well as insurance. Now, though, I'm considering to open it up at least for temporary storage as getting to the bikes is sort of a hassle. Will forward your solution to my better half to see what she thinks. As always - great video, editing and description. Cheers and thanks!

[@fedorsachse6919]

bob has a carport so he doesn't need a shed, but, since you have one, you can make a fence-type of front kimda like his bike rack so you can access the bikes etc fast enough (maybe through a swingdoor) or park them in front of it when in a hassle

[@JMTosses]

Fedor, I like the idea. I have some other projects that take priority but I'll be considering the fence idea when proceeding to the bike solution. Cheers!

[@StamosTee]

Excellent idea and very nice build.

[@jbb5470]

Great project. I like that you see problems as opportunities and then come up with a solution. Enjoy all your videos! Thanks

[@bigfoot286]

Looks great Bob, good work.

[@the3nder1]

This is awesome. Never would have thought to make something like this.

[@CaptainSpears]

Using the speed square as a guide for the circular saw....so simple, but so smart. I wish I'd thought of that...

[@czcosplay4121]

You should consider having your wife and kids involved in this type of project. I think it would be really cool to see your family helping out (for example holding a board up while you nail it in place or maybe even painting something). Idk, I just think it'd be really cool to see the people that most support you take part in your projects :)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+CZ Cosplay Yeah, I agree. I'd love to get them involved in videos, scheduling is kind of tough. 3 kids in school (usually at the times I'm making videos) and my wife taking care of the youngest. We're planning on including them all this year though.. just have to find the best way to make it work.

[@traktorworks3200]

dam brilliant......really brilliant and your communication skills are just the best and you use fast forward to get through the whole video so it doesn't become a chore to watch ill say it again...dam brilliant

[@49cfr]

Great project, I like the chalk board paint idea.

[@tool717]

Awesome build man alway refreshing to watch your videos

[@GoGreenMan]

that's funny, I was actually going to build one of these in the next few weeks too!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+GoGreenMan Excellent! I hope this was helpful!

[@JustMakeIt]

Great solution. Looks good from the street too.

[@GiovannyPerez]

Thanks man. Just looking for ideas and this looks perfect for us. Well done.

[@TheBowTieClub]

My dad just used a 2x4 on our garage wall and some pretty big hooks that you can hang the front wheel to!

[@romanaxle]

You're the man, Bob!

[@MichaelLawing]

Great idea. I might have to make a 4-6' one myself!

[@5thSparrow]

Selling plans is brilliant! Looking forward to a project I can buy plans for.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Martin Jones Thanks! I'm working on plans for a lot of my past projects right now, and should be making them for most future projects as well.

[@ardystalgysr]

+I Like To Make Stuff please check out my channel!

[@thejoshmoss]

Cool, The pellets look really nice.

[@rugr8full]

I have four kids as well. This is a great idea!

[@danielclark1314]

Could have really used this idea about 2 years ago. Great project!

[@fazmanicg]

That is an awesome idea! - Great build!

[@andrewlynch27]

Nice project. This type of rack works well for kids bikes.....larger bikes need more support. Any thoughts for a something (bench, graphics, etc) on the wall?

[@ofernahari2459]

Love your vespa!!!

[@taehokang2551]

i never make any of these ..... i just watch it for his awesome craftsmanship, dedication, motivation and for my own enterntainment too

[@MangoVengers]

I love reclaimed pallet wood.... So nice

[@emuller5591]

Totally badass nail drum on that big nailer

[@UthoRiley]

I see the stand is underneath an overhang connected to the house, so humidity/rain won't be much of a problem, but a layer of varnish wouldn't hurt i bet. (We have alot of wood stuff in our garden aswell, and it really goes quick during the winter which makes upkeep in the summer quite the hassle) Anyways, awesome project as usual, keep up the good work! :D

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Utho Riley Thanks! I got all pressure treated wood, except for the pallet slats, for that very reason. I kind of assume we'll end up painting the front side at some point, but we'll see.

[@vaulimere]

Looks good man. I don't think I'd be able to have stuff left out like that without eventually being stolen. Looks like you live in a peaceful area.

[@FeralBoyKnives]

Awesome build Bob

[@espowari]

So cool! Great project!!

[@cybercapri]

The added length would be good for visiting kids, so the longer the bike rake the better... Excellent project....

[@skatersirian]

So many possibilities for that front side.
