How to Build Custom Storage Shelving with Adjustable Feet | Basement Organization

[@butterfliesandcamo5975]

Leaving all the leftovers from the multiple fixes/repairs/remodels to your home was so good of you to do. Sadly people don't leave thing's like that and it makes it hard on the new owners. Thank you so much for doing that☺️

[@geanettbrowne5668]

I am watching this video smiling from ear to ear. I am so very happy for you and your family. You all deserve everything, and i can't wait for new products you be doing in your new home. Thanks for sharing 💙

[@lindaroyal8161]

I don't know why, but I just love watching shelf units being constructed. This is a good one, very easy design. Nicely Done!

[@shanaproctor100]

What a great teacher you are! I feel like I could actually build one of these shelves after watching this.

[@ninabooker2904]

When I bought my first house the previous owners left the leftover paint behind. And I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that, even if they would have left a list of colors and brands used that would be helpful for touch ups. I don’t think you are planning to sell now that you have completed so much work but if you do, that’s my two cents. ❤ Love the channel, I appreciate you bringing us along on your adventures. ❤ P.S. The adjustable feet are GENIUS !

[@dadthemanthemyththelegend3348]

love it

[@Britt-h4s]

You make it look so easy. Thanks for showing us!

01:08 I store my used paint ( all ) in 1 gallon milk jugs with screw on caps - not pop on caps- easy to shake up , pour out little needed for a touch up, easy see it’s color, no more rusted / beat up lids that fail to seal - just an easy screw-on cap - and paper label on jug good enough to use marker on to label its room used in.

[@theglowcloud2215]

That's pretty brilliant, but do you ever run into issues with the milk jugs becoming brittle and breaking down over time?

[@KE5ZZO]

@@theglowcloud2215 not yet after 2 years

[@theglowcloud2215]

@@KE5ZZO sweet, I'm going to try migrating my paint to jugs, then. I guess exposure to repeated temperature extremes is what causes HDPE in milk containers to degrade.

[@Zenikai_]

YES the start of the basement remodel is finally here. (for real this time)

[@nataliem872]

Always love the outtakes. I think I'm off to build my new Costco overstock shelves! I've been looking at some deeper shelves but none of them have the dimensions I want exactly. This is perfect!

[@soraway2567]

Thanks for the video! Love the adjustable feet on the bottom too, great detail!

[@karenedge7039]

I'm glad you made this video. I think I can do this now. Need shelves for all the different size gas cans in my shed. This would be perfect!! Thank you!!!!!! I LOVE THE END OF THESE VIDEOS, HILARIOUS!!!!!

[@Esiddik]

Omg the feeeettttt that’s such a good idea !!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I shoved a shim under one of the feet , it works but why didn’t I think of this!’ Thank you!!!!

[@hbrealhousewife2270]

This was brilliant. You made it look so easy that I think even I could make some shelves.

[@ryanomac27]

What's your day job Matt? You gotta be in the trades right?

[@tiffinyboulet8694]

You, sir, are a professional, not a DIY'er! (My Dad was a carpenter/home builder and I can tell that you have been educated in construction! In fact, watching your videos makes me miss him. He's still with us, just lives too far away and is retired! 😂). Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your home renovation!

[@afanofhops]

Awesome, thank you! I just built out a basement so this is a perfect project to get my hands dirty....

[@lynnew5619]

You made that look easy, lol. I will pinch the adjustable feet idea. Our garage is all over the place.

[@mgh439]

If you get the pill and stick tiles you can put them on the plywood and make them last even long and easy clean up.

[@The.Real.Reaper]

I like your adjustable feet idea. I am building something similar in my garage shop for a second wood workbench and separate 2x4 shelving. I was considering how to create an air space or separation between the concrete and the untreated lumber. Even in a dry basement and especially in a garage, there is always some moisture in the concrete slabs. Over time it can leach into any wood directly in contact with it and can lead to rot. My home's previous owner built some in direct contact with the slab floor and they already started rotting at the bottom. If I were building a wall, using a standard foam gasket for the bottom plates work fine, of course. Or just using treated lumber or applying wood treatment to the end of the lumber is an option too, but more expensive. I even saw a set of four rubber/plastic boots that slide 2" over the end of 2x4s made for workbenches cheap to buy online. Related to planning my own workbench and shelves, like yours, I remember last summer, I rebuilt an old outside bench. (It was also built by the previous owner.) It had two 2x4 rear legs with rotted wood wheels (cut with a hole saw) on the back to allow it to be moved around. I replaced those with large lawn mower plastic and rubber wheels. But where the bottoms of the 2x4 legs in front sat directly on the ground they had rotted a lot. Replacing those 2x4 legs, I decided to use galvanized metal plates/feet that lift the ends of the 2x4 front legs 1/4" to 1/2" from the ground. For only .50 cents each. I found with lumber joist hangers and similar brackets. After repainting, I added them to help the wood last longer and keep it off direct contact with the ground. Plus unlike the paint, the metal won't be hurt by scraping on the ground or concrete when moving the bench. The advantage of using the screw in feet you choose is the adjustability. have basement shelves planned too similar to this video as well as the ones for the garage shop. I am gonna go with your idea instead. Thanks. We always enjoy your content.

[@theenemyoftruth8552]

I came across your channel a few months ago. Your bathroom remodel was the first I watched, which inspired me to have a go myself. I'm not quite ready to get started on that just yet. I'm still gearing up, so to speak. This video was perfect for me. I need something like these shelves for similar reasons but would also give me some confidence in building something pretty simple to get used to some of the gear I've bought recently. The only thing from this video I don't have is a chalk line. Which I'm delighted. I can't afford any more splurges on tools for a bit. 😆 So cheers for this. And also I really admire the work you've done in your house so far. Good stuff mate keep it up. 👏

[@kayjones6147]

Even though this is such practical knowledge, it's also so very sentimental for me. My late husband was the consummate DIYer and perfection was his middle name. This brings back so many memories of me standing (very quietly because he did not want to his concentration on the project at hand) watching him build this or that or repairing whatever. I'm quite sure you never thought your videos could create sweet memories but they have for me. And also thank you for the excellent instructions on a myriad of projects..even I in my late 80s know there are some simple repairs I can handle myself.

[@jodirauth8847]

Thank you.....this is a fantastic video. I was just saying to my husband that we needed to build some shelving.

[@MieshaMarie]

This looks super easy to do. Thanks

[@chrisw443]

Double Level Action!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

This is nice ! Thanks for sharing!

[@RobertSiwik1968]

Great job! A little trick to keep the wood from splitting is to run the screw in reverse first for a second then forward and run them in

[@Orlando_63s]

On level 👍🏼

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

Awesome video my friend.

[@rhondakennedy819]

I for anything having to do with storage & how to make it. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@gregmize01]

slick design Fixer!

[@janea6440]

So good ❤

[@jsaysyay]

ah now this is something i would like to try to actually do one day *looks off in the direction of the garage that has like 5 different shelving things my family and i vaguely put together that are not perfectly level, and do not exactly fit the space properly*

[@TurnsTheWorld]

Hey, great video! Do you think inserting "jack studs" sistered to the legs to support the weight of each shelf is overkill?

[@georgetarabini6552]

Please tell your DIYers to secure your wood before drilling or sawing, teach them good habits

[@mmmemgggg617]

Great video as usual. I hope you aren’t getting too much crap from the “pros” that you have to preface what you do with an intro like that every time. Keep up the great work, Matt!

[@Morpha-Ahprom]

[@judithfarelo8415]

These are excellent. Big fan of your channel. Wondering if you could share what type of bit you are using? Thank you!

[@ZeroColdx911]

Could’ve use some shims made off of those scrap 2x4 instead of the levelling feet

[@kzoll3546]

Do you, think in the future, there might be a tipping issue with the shelving? If so, do you have any ideas on how to keep this from happening?

[@rmjmgirl8896]

U always mk things look so simple & easy, w/ ur step by step instruction. Luv watching cuz ur so orderly!👍🏿

[@Zink303]

Make a video discussing how you obtained your carpentry knowledge!!

[@dorotheaisserstedt9238]

Heute macht wohl die automatische Übersetzung einen Fehler, denn das Maß "Tonnen" gibt doch eigentlich ein Gewicht an. Hier braucht es aber Millimeter, Zentimeter oder Meter oder meinetwegen auch Zoll.

[@Hosty_Tim]

I built a set like this in my basement a few years back.. They work excellent and have help up for years.

[@cantgetright742]

Ohhh buddy we’re messing with the basement. I’ve been looking forward to this. Well you are. Whatever. 😅

[@lindajane1670]

I’d like to make one more. Those adjustable feet are great.

[@trizais]

I like almost all your videos but for this one I think would be better to show how to fix the nasty wall behind you, cuz the shelf can be bought, but fix the wall is a more complicated stuff

[@NailahRoberts]

The metal shelving unit is supposed to be screwed to a wall.

[@arthendrickson4860]

OSB plywood?

[@christianvandenboorn6001]

Maybe see i it wrong. And it do not make a difference for the tutorial. But was it not better to make it at the hight of the groundstructure of the basement? To gain that extra space on the top chalve, without a nearly useles top shalve at the pipe?

[@cantgetright742]

I’d attach it to the wall. If a foot breaks, you’re already out of tilt and easier to knock over.

[@Avocadomushroom]

It would be amazing to be married to a man that did this stuff 🤣

[@mahalove8318]

I hope see basement plated and there are A place for children to play.

[@TexianPapa]

Hey.

[@spikefivefivefive]

The craziest thing is that the heavier-duty PLASTIC shelving units are now over $85. So to build one out of wood for $100 is a bargain.

[@glenlongstreet7]

When you say 'chop saw' you are telling young workers that it is 'OK' to chop with it. That is not ok because the board can get caught in the teeth and pull important elements of the young persons body into the chopping device. If you want to chop, young men and women, get a hatchet; $10 at any hardware store. If you want to cut a board, get a miter saw. $100 at most hardware stores. If you need new fingers, that will be $100,000 at your local hospital.

[@alopardo]

Oh dear God

[@taccosnachos]

Should I stop chopping vegetables with it? It's pretty efficient at that!

[@thomasrquintero]

No matter what words he uses, you can't fix stupid

[@raffytwoscoops]

Should I pull a chair up to my table saw?
