Nice job. You've dumbed this down to the point that I believe even I can build it. I have a small storage shed (8x7.5) with about 20 bins on top of each other and what a pain. I'm probably going to have to cut this down to only 4x4 with a top shelf but either way, it'll be way better than I've got right now. Thanks for the step-by-step with precise measurements.

Thank you so much for this really well-made video! I followed your instructions and managed to build the rack in one day. I’m not someone with much experience in manual work, so it’s probably faster for others. I have to admit that at first, I found it a bit childish to mark the X’s for the sides, but I did it anyway-and I’m so glad I did! Once I started having pieces everywhere and couldn’t remember the orientation, it really saved me. I even made a mistake at one point, but thanks to your method of marking 2x2, I got it right in the end. Very happy with the result. Happy wife, happy life!

Well I thought I would give you an update on my tote rack build, I tweaked your measurements a little, I cut the rails out of 2x4x8 and cut them in half instead of using 2x2s, so that just made the rack a little wider. Other than that it the same rack as yours, and my wife loves it👍🏻 But I have a problem, now my neighbors wants me to build them one times 5. 😂 I also made a memory stick for adding the top and bottom rails.

Great instruction just build a 15 tote one using your video, you made it look so eady i had a hard time with the 2x4s from the HD been all twisted/bend

[@stefanmeyers2808]

Never take the top 2x4's. They have all been picked through. You can tell by looking for the small stickers that have been under at 90 degree angles, the wood below them hasn't been picked through yet. Always hold one end up and look down the length. I try to never used twisted sticks, crowned and bowed lumber can sometimes be used to your advantage if you have a lot of weight on them by crowning up and the weight then straightens them out.

Your directions were great, I am about 80% done at the moment in building a 4hx7w unit. Can you give any advice on how to “square up” the unit. I used some 12’ 2x4’s and naturally they’re not as straight as they could be. I’m afraid to go and further at the moment as they will always be crooked once they’re mounted to the wall if I leave them as is.

[@stefanmeyers2808]

Squaring up diagonals. Subtract the short measurement from the long diagonal measurement and divide the leftover in half. eg 125-123.5= 1.5" half of that is 3/4". Add 3/4 onto your short dimension eg 123.5 + .75=124.25. This dimension of 124 1/4 is what you want both diagonals to measure to be square. Put your tape measure on the short diagonal and pull the right side down until the diagonal reads 124 1/4. If the diagonal measurement gets shorter instead of longer then push up. Once you are at 124.25, then recheck your diagonals.

It depends on whether or nor you are using kiln dried lumber, if it feels too heavy, get the nosy neighbour over to help left it, he probably would be happy to come over and see what you are doing. Put him to work and maybe next time he won't be so nosy. I used to carry 2-2x10x16, that/s the equivalent of 12-2x4x8s. This is 21-2x4x8 but you only need to lift half the weight.

Why you cut the 2x2 spacer 27" if the tote length is 28½ ? You're short of 1 ½.

[@ricky_876]

Why did you cut them at 88 3/4 if you needed 88 1/2 ?

Very cool! What do you think about adding castors to the bottom to make it mobile?

[@stefanmeyers2808]

I would put 4x4s on the bottom if you want castors, you could use 2 straight and 2 swivel or 4 swivel. If you don't use 4x4 then the unit may sag in the middle.

How did you anchor it into the back wall? It looks like you added and additional 2X4 about half way up. Because of the thickness of the cement ledge along the floor the additional horizontal 2X4s still wouldnt be thick enough to reach the wall when anchoring. Did you double up the horizontal 2x4s to reach the wall or just screw into the wall studs and leave a gap?

@theChaseGroup I added some 2xs that extended to the wall this was a weird one with the curb. But you definitely want ti anchor wither with lumber or L brackets

[@mr.videos5140]

Hi, what plywood size did you use and what thickness it has

[@Barragan-u7w]

A question you might be able to ask the furniture with pure 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 posts with the same measurements that you give?

[@meyers.makes.]

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean
