DIY Storage Solution With A Secret (You Won't Believe How It Works!)

How to put 20 feet of cabinets on 9 feet of wall! I couldn't afford the ultimate storage cabinet for my garage so I built it. This is the ultimate space-saving storage solution ever! You won't believe how this storage system works and how much it will hold. If you need garage space then you need to build this cabinet. I built mine for a fraction of the cost of the inspiration storage cabinet. I saved $5,000. Be sure to check out my garage makeover video where I saved thousands more!

Good job. A couple of points for others. Instead of building the ends as post, just build the ends as shelves with post in the corners, as there is no real need to move either of the two end sections. Also, by putting a backing panel in the middle ( or offset from center ) you can make the sliding sections double faced. And lastly why not dado with the dado setup you already have on the radial arm saw ? That being said, it is still a nice project as you did it.

[@Jutulind]

@@hongtanke - exactly the same I wanted to post just now. Foot pedal for power or doubled emergency stop would eliminate the problem. "high tech" solution would be auto cutoff if RPM = 0 & Power != 0 & t = 2s. Also easy to do but not as easy as two first methods.

This is amazing! The commercial system is so cool, but also so insanely expensive. Something we did on a similar system was take a photo of each sliding-shelf, showing everything on it, and then printed it off and put it in a small picture frame attached to the shop-facing side of each shelf unit. Makes "looking" for stuff so much faster.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

You see systems like this in many law offices where they need to store a bunch of records in a small space. You just need enough space to allow for however many different parts you want to access at once. In an extreme case, you only need an extra 4' or so of space on top of the physical width of the shelves.

[@qdllc]

Frankly, for the work and equipment involved, paying the price for the commercial system is more feasible.

The radial arm saw brings me back to my first year carpentry class in high school, back in '98 or '99, and the teacher warned us that the radial arm saw will kick back. He can hear when it happens, but for us whom are all deaf, we have to go by the feel. I was cutting some solid oak plank - maybe 12" wide I can't remember it's like a lifetime ago - and sure enough, the saw immediately tried to kick back, but because of his warning and my stance, I was able to prevent the saw from trying to chew up my hands or take out my shoulder as I was braced in anticipation of these kickback. When the saw kickback, my teacher immediately swiveled his head to check on me, and I nodded to let him know I got it.

The kids in my 9th grade shop class surprisingly voted me Plant Manager, meaning it was my job to organize us into various roles to select a product to build, fabricate jigs and fixtures for the assembly line, and manufacture and sell the product. Part of my job was to appoint a Safety Officer and help him keep the other kids from becoming amputees. That kid probably had a more stressful job than I did, but fortunately nobody lost fingers that year and we sold a lot of product despite having a couple close calls on the band saw and the shaper/planer. We had a couple kids we had to watch a bit closely -- kids who leveraged most of their skills working on reefer pipes whenever the teacher wasn't looking. Unsurprisingly, these two fellows were in a continuous purple haze despite our 9AM start time. I do take credit for the fact that both of them still have two hands.

During college, I used to work summers in a saw mill. They had a 24" pendulum (swing) saw which was terrifying as it was belt driven and the off switch was a couple of steps away. The guy who normally worked it has one bicep twice the size of the other, and a slip up could launch the saw blade at your chest, so you had to respect that saw. The radial arm saw I used had a rotating head and I would rotate it 90 degrees and run a gang blade to rip boards into 1" stakes for mine surveyors to use - The push stick was a broom. Amazingly I still have all my fingers!

[@beniceeveryone-i6s]

Nice build! ❤ A few suggestions, but still awesome as-is: 1) make the end shelves as the supports, possibly the open end having back-to-back shelves. 2) combine the two inner shelves as one, bc you don't need access to the back side. 3) put 1" bumper on top and bottom corners, so fingers don't get smashed when rolling to the next section. 4) use the exposed side area, for pocket storage, hooks, or additional shallow shelves.

[@craigchatterton4164]

That looks really great! Would be a good addition to my shop, so I'll definitely keep it in mind. The only two things I would add are: another 1x2 across some of the shelves to keep smaller stuff from falling out. You may open them slowly, but will your kids? And some handles on the outside to be able to move the shelves without the risk of pinching fingers.

[@chrisscoleri2341]

Pretty cool. This type of system is commonly used in offices and schools. I was in the stock room at the school I teach at and thought a storage system like this would be pure gold in a shop. The one at my site was built in the late 50s. The six double sided shelf sections are 2 feet wide about 20 feet deep, 8 feet tall, all hard wood with adjustable shelves. They are supported by an overhead track, and two tracks set into the foundation which look like railroad track. They roll smooth as butter because back in the day, things were well built. The linear shelf space is insane.

[@aaronadams1630]

I love building things with strut! Its one of my go-to tools. They make double sections of strut. Similat to how you welded the things together, ao anybody could have that added stability off the shelf with no welding needed. You could have built the entire assembly from the struts if you had wanted to. They make attachments for all of that and there are strut nuts that make it a cake walk to bolt the entire assembly together and then you can easily take it down or modify it if you ever need to. They even have floor mounting plates like what you used to attach ypur 4x4 posts. Super fun to watch.

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks! Good to know.

[@harmonyintegration6612]

Exactly what I was going to say! And you could use the deeper version of the strut so you can bolt from the inside and the trolly can slide by the bolt head with clearance.

[@maryrenaud6732]

Too many tools and work for older folks. Perhaps prebuilt heavy duty storage shelves on wheels…back to back like this!

[@stephanlapointe8272]

Where do find either double section or deeper strut? Home Depot has regular 12 gauge. I like the idea of bolting it to a 4x4. However, I am learning to weld so maybe I could go that route. Like the fixed end idea and also might put shelves on both sides of one plywood sheet with three trolleys.

[@harmonyintegration6612]

Unistrut Buffalo Supplies is where I bought mine, they have everything. Be careful welding galvanized unistrut, the zinc vapor is really bad for you.

I actually built my own Levrack-clone last fall! Mine is painted mint green. I was able to find 12ft 7k-lbs pallet rack beams and 2 uprights on Facebook Marketplace for around $200!

Thanks for the video!

As soon as I saw him attaching the Unistrut to the beam I thought use pallet racking and bolt the Unistrut to the beams. No welding required.

[@judyofthewoods]

Brilliant idea! I've been looking at making something along that line, but couldn't decide on suitable hardware. That channel with trolleys is a game changer. An idea I came up with for small spaces: the structure could straddle a doorway so that no wall space is wasted for the access. The cabinets facing the doorway gap could hold stuff that would be needed for outdoors. The cabinets could also be hanging in front of the door when you want to provide extra security against intruders.

[@AttemptMade]

Whoa you could actually use the conduit and trolleys to make a barn style door too! I wonder if they make conduit that also curves so that your door could recess against weater stripping.

[@judyofthewoods]

@@AttemptMade interesting idea. I've seen old-fashioned metal curtain tracks here in the UK, shaped like miniature I-beams, which are bent into a very slight double curve near the end so that curtains can overlap in the middle. Funny enough, those types of rails use little roller hooks that are in principle very similar to the trolleys shown here, except they straddle the single beam. I've considered using them for moving light containers. I'll have to re-examine that idea.

[@PublicMeetings]

Did your friend Travis tell you you could buy doubled-up strut channel? I think trippel is also available, ready made. a single, full-depth 12ga channel can itself span that distance with hundreds of lbs. Double or triple is all you need for strength. Also. Ditch the legs. The right side can hang from a header board on the wall. The left side can hang from the ceiling and tie to the wall for stabilization. Then you have no posts in the way; no holes in the flooring, and you could even add more shelves over time. just get longer strut than you need and let the extra hang out off the left side. When you want more shelves, just get more trollies and add them on. And until then its handy to have strut overhead when you're working anyway.

[@anvilhammer4144]

Great idea in building down from the ceiling without legs. Which greatly reduces your cost.

[@BradTraynham]

[@danielshoemaker4935]

hope you didn't get sick after welding the strut to the tube. Welding galvanized metal requires good ventilation to prevent breathing in the vaporized zinc. It will make you feel terrible for a few days. Project looks great though. I'll be building something similar in the future.

I have been using a radial arm saw for over 30years . It has been my dado cutter, planer, sander, table saw, miter saw, pin router, etc. lots of accessories for it on eBay. One thing you might try on dado cuts is bring blade out and lock it, slide board in behind blade, clamp board, start, then push blade towards rear. This always puts pressure against fence and helps keep blade from grabbing and trying to move forward and bind (as you demonstrated). Also, adding t-slot channel to saw table for clamping is a very good idea(especially if you take the time to use the clamps which I always do). Hold down clamps for radial saws are available on eBay. And lastly(saw this on another KZbin channel) have a tourniquet at every saw. Great video btw.

[@TheOtterBear61]

That would make an amazing bookcase for someone who has a lot of books and not a lot of room... like me.

[@damogranheart5521]

Most Excellent Idea!

[@RaphaelBaron]

One of the best diy projects I've seen in a while. Great execution and idea

[@wesl.946]

Pro Tip: It took longer to edit this video than build this cabinet. Great job on both!

[@JS-jh4cy]

I need this for the library

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

Afaik that is their original purpose. Called a compactus.

[@AncoraImparoPiper]

Ah, the old compactus. it's been around for generations but mostly used in the commercial/corporate environment.

I’m glad to see you using hearing protection even when hammering. There is no return from Tinnitus. This was a really nice build. It gave me a lot of ideas. Thank you!

[@davidsnyder3799]

Sorry. I couldn't hear you.

[@octogonpc]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, from concept, to development, to engineering and completion. Well done, sir!!

[@mmztimelord]

Decades ago when my Grandfather taught me to use his Radial Arm Saw, he told me always PUSH through your cut. You bring the saw out in front of your work, then PUSH it towards the back. This prevents issues like you experienced. Also, a taller fence minimum of 1 inch thick would benefit you as well.

[@dfu1685]

What a good looking and Highly functional unit. Great job showing the process & journey through the process. Your natural humor makes me feel like I am there with my buddies making the build! And the second best thing in the whole video was the jungle beast at the end!

[@alanmoore2197]

Great project. The camera work here was great - a dedicated camerawoman and drone flyer really pays off - teamwork!

[@lewerim]

Ah yes, Ye Olde Radial Harm Saw

Classic!!!!

[@GLACIOUS13]

I saw what you did there!

[@benjaminmiddaugh2729]

KZbin just showed me this as I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to expand my bookshelf space without taking up additional wall space. Had not encountered strut channel before today, but it's perfect for a DIY compact book shelving system. I'll definitely be planning a couple of these to enhance my very limited space.

[@rp9674]

Like a book/tape vault shelf, smart. I think angle grinders are an underrated danger

Rolling aisle storage was being done with filing cabinets in the 1970s. All it took was rollers bolted under the cabinets.

[@dennisbrown3717]

It’s amazing what you can cook in cast iron. One pot king!! Nice video.

Love the idea of the use of storage. Thinking about building a rack like this for DVD, CD, Games collection

[@TheGavinJ]

Absolutely love this idea. Thinking about doing it soon but adding furniture feet to keep them from slamming into each other!

[@andrewpatterson9140]

Great video. One comment, might have been mentioned before... On a radial arm saw always push cut. That is pull the blade toward you, insert the wood and align, then push the saw through the wood. That avoids the climb cut and is much safer (and less scary).

[@magnum164]

Very nice build. I got my career started designing these type systems right out of high school. There has always been a high demand for them. Two things I noticed. One you could use ball casters and then the direction of travel would not be an issue. Used mainly on conveyor systems, they would work as a floor support as well. Second. As you gain more weight slipping inside those cabinets will be a pain. You could instead of the alum plates you hung the main trolley from, mounted offset uni-strut with a internal extension like a drawer slide. This way you can slide the cabinets back/forth then simply pull the cabinet straight out and have access to both sides. I plan to do this as I have more electronic components than wood tools and I need a pullout shelve to put trays on while I am digging through the cabinets. Just gives you more room for access and the addition of split storage on each side.

[@macaronitire4152]

FINALLY!!!!!! ever since I saw levrack and some other high density pull out or sliding shelves, I've been searching for a diy option for over a year. Never been satisfied with my own ideas on how to accomplish it, so this is awesome for me to build just as you do or tweak slightly for my own use.

[@helnbak9372]

Absolutely BRILLIANT. I love watching clever people solve problems. WINNING. love it

[@BrianRox]

You would be surprised how many people don't predrill holes and the way you explained it was prefect.

[@channingrhodes6756]

What a handy man you are! Unbelievable work and love the color choices that you picked! You should make a schematic or plans for this storage unit and sell the plans on your site for $10 to $20 dollars! Anyway, great job on this project and keep up the funny and entertaining videos!

[@Eduardomd54]

I Have in my head this project also. Since I knew LEV Rack, I am pretty sure I can make one myself. and save a lot of money. But watching your way, has been very helpful for me. I am planning to make a steel frame, and buy already made the hanging modules with the shelves , and then hanging them to both rails. I like very much your wood frame, the steel rails you made; I believe, I will do the same as you did, and see if I will buy modules or make them as you also did. Very inspiring your way for me. Makes a lot of sense your construction. Thank you

[@philricotta]

This is AWESOME.....We have a filing system similar to this where I work and I have always wanted something like it in my garage. You did a great job and I just wanted to thank you for the great idea. Love the Bright Colors - WELL DONE.

[@CNCDude]

Too frigging cool, man! Love the concept, the build and the savings. Unbeatable! Will be sure to come back to this video when I am ready to build me one of these.

[@dougfowler6898]

I have that same RAS and love it! After you get used to using them and with a negative hook angle blade you will be amazed!

[@liquidrockaquatics3900]

Two safety suggestions for the radial arm saw: 1) foot feed switch to control power on/off (kill switch) 2) my grandfather had a chain wrapped all the way around the entire table with a come along style lock to wrap around blocking and a work piece to keep it locked to the table. His use case was more dangerous because he was cutting walnut logs on a 30degree angle or so and making 2.5 inch “cookies” which he dried and turned into clocks. A chain locks onto itself and can’t really get dislodged and go flying, but it requires extra pieces of wood around the work piece to immobilize it. Sill keeps your hands out of the way though because you don’t need to touch the work piece as it is being cut.

[@briannentwick260]

Oh man, I am 100% doing this in my garage. This is absolutely amazing

[@EliotHochberg]

It’s a great project, I would make one change, the front of those moving cabinets on the shelves, I would put like a 2 to 3 inch lip just so that when you slide them back-and-forth nothing can roll off and fall on the floor

[@Vectorr66]

I stumbled onto this video you created here, and I have to say I thought it was brilliant! I have a mess that needs organizing as well and after watching this, I clicked on to your garage video and was swept away. I now subscribe to your channel. I like your ideas. You seem to have a simple common sense approach while watching the bottom line. I'm impressed and look forward to more of your ideas. Thanks.
