Wow great job

[@laurieshultz7052]

Thank you!

[@sparkymahoney4343]

Well done, on the whole Couple of pro-tips. It's way easier to get an aluminum turkey pan - big basting pan from the dollar store, throw in your pipe, flanges, tees, etc. and let them soak in mineral spirits/varnish for 5 mins. Give them a good scrub with the rough side of a sponge or steel wool. Dry them with a rag. Don't use paste. Use a spray on primer with rust inhibitors - e.g. Rustoleum or Temclad - 2 coats. Then 2 coats of spray on Rustoleum/Tremclad in whatever color and gloss you like. Pipes will stay clean and won't rust that way.

[@laurieshultz7052]

Brilliant!! Thanks!

[@lissehoneyman1145]

Love this, thank you. Also love the wooden sofa on your website but you didn't add the instructions. I really want to make that one! I can't work out how the seat is attached to the sides, lol. It's beautiful.

[@laurieshultz7052]

Thank you! I guess I need to get on top of this stuff. I love how the outdoor sofa turned out too! I just used some construction grade L-brackets and 2x4's for the seat and back braces, and a futon mattress with an outdoor cover for the cushion! I would advise that you construct it on site. That thing is a beast to try to move!

[@benarneld]

Thank you so much for an awesome video. I can definitely start with that. Since I'd like to be a le to DIY some stuff at my house. Quick question for you tho: what type of stain did you use?

[@laurieshultz7052]

Thanks for watching Ben! The stain that I'm using is a mix of three Sherwin Williams Wood Classics stains. 4 parts pecan, 1 part winter white, and 1 part beechwood. I hope your projects go well!

[@shannongauvin9767]

Can you use a 2 x 10 and have the same stability? I just wanted to throw that out there to anyone as i am limited for space.

Same thought for my living room!

[@laurieshultz7052]

So glad you found this helpful! Please remember to anchor it to the wall!

[@MegaHowtoMan]

Cool video. Cost of materials?

[@laurieshultz7052]

Thanks! I think I paid around $350, but I used plumbing grade pipe fittings. You can find decorative fittings on Amazon for much cheaper!

[@user-xv8tr5to7j]

This was the MOST fun DIY video I have probably ever seen!!! I intend on using this info to make shelving in my kitchen. you rock.. onto more videos!

[@laurieshultz7052]

Thank you! I'd love to see your kitchen shelves when they are done!

[@egorbiletskiy2950]

I have checked many woodworking plan sites. I think the instructions from Woodprix are the best.

[@jonellen4614]

Great video Laurie! But, I'm with some of the other people... my back was killing me watching you do all that work on the floor. But, hey... that's about me and my bad back! Oh... and wearing flip flops... yikes! My toes were flinching the whole time. :-) I was wondering why you need to protect all the piping. I am in the process of doing research to try to design a desk for my husband and hadn't seen that step during my research. Thanks again for a very informative video!!

[@laurieshultz7052]

Thanks for watching, Joan! The idea behind the whole process with the pipes is first to clean all of the gunk off of them and then to protect them from rusting. Some people prefer the aesthetics of letting them rust, so it's really whatever you prefer!

[@djeondj]

With the stickers, you can use a heat gun/hair dryer and it will soften the adhesive!

[@Moskoe83]

Well I'm gonna be that guy and say you have beautiful feet my lady. 😜

[@wrongsend7106]

How you attach that still pipe in your computer ?

[@laurieshultz7052]

It's actually a monitor stand! You can get it on Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B21TLQU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@lovedbybecky]

why do you have to protect the pipes? what would happen if i didnt

[@nickdorfnus]

any recommendation on where to get flanges and nipples?! flanges are about $6.50 / piece at home depot !!

[@nashrunner456]

I like you energy. I have an old IKEA book shelf that’s circling the drain. I was going to haul it to the garage and paint it, but it’s not sturdy. I like how you varied the height to surround your window. The gray stain was unexpected but it works in your space and I’ll bet will be a color you’ll like for a long time to come. I’m gonna give it a shot. Thank you.

[@TranTheClever]

Great Video. I have the exact same Shed, with the exact same problem of organization. Thanks for the idea. 5:55

Nice work 👌 it was nice listening to you. I need something like that too for my music centre

[@catherinelarkin247]

You could have made this using much fewer floor flanges.

Hi did you tap and die the pipes

[@carynsmith7806]

I really like the shelving unit. Great job!

[@K03sport]

Did something similar using smaller 1/2" pipe; however, I protected my blk pipe w/several coats of satin clear lacquer... Probably took longer to dry so I'll try the wax method next time.

[@laurieshultz7052]

Thanks for watching! Let me know how the two methods compare!

great idea as all but the cost of the flanges alone makes this project extra expensive

[@earlhines1826]

Do you know the cost break down

[@laurieshultz7052]

Hi Earl! I believe this cost me around $350. I think about $80 in lumber and the rest in pipe fittings. I have since discovered that you can buy some decorative pipe fittings at a fraction of the cost on Amazon. If I had to do it again, I would definitely go that route!

[@letesaaviles9641]

So awesome!!!! Curious to how much it cost you. Thinking about making myself one but with caster wheels at the bottom

[@laurieshultz7052]

It has been awhile since I made this, but I would estimate that it cost around $350. The hardware that I used was from Home Depot and it was actual plumbing pipe fittings. I have since discovered that Amazon carries some decorative hardware that looks just as awesome, but costs much much less! Definitely something to look into!

[@donnajackson7712]

Where did you get the basket things on the bottom shelf?! If you made them... Please show how

[@laurieshultz7052]

Hi! Thanks for the question! I purchased the outer bins on the bottom shelf from the At Home store. The bins that are closer to the middle are actually file storage boxes from Target.

I would definitely consider anchoring that to the wall. At the height yours is it would be a good idea, if you built it any higher at all I would say it's a necessity.
