How To Build 2x4 garage shelves LOW-COST [Heavy TOTES]

[@Rainman270]

Thanks for the vid. I made three fixed shelves from the floor to 7 ft, with adjustable shelves in between. The fixed shelves are affixed into my concrete wall with Tapcon screws and the top two shelves are supported further with 2x4 's going vertically from the previous shelves.

Why do videos all have loud music playing? Sure, I can turn it down I hear you say, but it's very annoying. Video very informative.

[@MAGAMAN]

Because they're gay.

[@venkatinator]

Good video. But the 30 “shelf supports” are unnecessary. Simply fasten the OSB to the front and back horizontal supports, only.

[@darkspeed62]

You could have saved yourself a lot of measuring and marking for the repeated cuts by using a fence with your mitre saw and then using a stop block on it.

[@dp818181]

I see you used pocket screws to attach the shelf braces to the inside (wall) frame. Would you recommend using pocket screws to attach the braces to the outside frame as well?

[@MAGAMAN]

DO NOT use pocket hole screws for this. They are extremely weak because you only have a very small amount of wood remaining. Build the "Box" for the shelf on the floor so you can put the screws in from the outside. Use smaller pieced of 2x4 in between the shelving and the floor/other shelves so the shelving is sitting on structure, and not relying on the screws to do all the work.

Thank you for sharing! At around 8:45, how did you secure the right ends of the horizontal 2x4s?

[@tymr.t3645]

Nicccceeee But what is the name of that.. Thingamajig 😋 you used to cut the screws into the wood on a angle 👍

[@CardiacCat]

That's a pocket hole jig

[@MAGAMAN]

It's called a safety hazard.

[@frankarena7949]

Well I guess I will be your first comment. Good job!

[@henryboyoutdoors4869]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@nskmda]

what about the 2x4s from local HD/LW being crooked/twisted all over? do u still make them relatively 'straight' when just screwing 2gether like that? or u managed to get yourself straight/square 2x4 from somewhere else?

[@MAGAMAN]

You buy straight 2x4s.

[@nskmda]

@@MAGAMAN *straight* can only b bought from a lumberyard where they can cut it 2 size 4 u. but then the price is exorbitant and u might b better off buying manufactured shelves instead.

[@markmaher2827]

it's only supported by the hardware, you should brace the legs.

[@henryboyoutdoors4869]

Good idea. Appreciate that.

[@ptwrmakes1849]

Nice and simple build... but why is everything so yellow?

[@henryboyoutdoors4869]

Thanks, i was playing around with my camera setting. Probably leave it normal next time. Seeing if anyone likes it or not.

[@OneTrueCat]

@@henryboyoutdoors4869 It gave everything a Simpsons Jaundice vibe.

Framing squares are cheap

[@jeffreycunningtown5730]

I have done very similar with woodglut designs.

[@nskmda]

just a safety measure: **always** wear shoes at work.

[@bullitts]

This clown is working with shoes on, but he allows his son to walk around and help him wearing socks?!! Ever heard of nails, splinters, dropping wood on toes?! 🤡 Father of the Year goes to this genius! Remember, you’re the parent and he’s the child! Smh!!

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

Video = good Music = unbearable. None would be vastly preferable.

[@MAGAMAN]

No level, used pockethole screws, no structure supporting the shelves and way too much gay music. instant thumbs down.

[@kurtalthaus2838]

The music sucks
