Just wanted to make a quick mention. Swivel casters require a circle to pivot around when they change direction. For projects that have a swing out design with a fixed pivot on hinges you really want to use rigid casters that are mounted perpendicular to the pivot point. They will always be tangent with the arc of travel and don't require rotating around the swivel pivot when changing direction so they don't bind up like swivel casters can.

The advice I was given in a (sorta) similar situation was to anchor a 2x4 to the concrete wall, and then mount the hardware to the 2x4. That way you can use shims where necessary to make sure the 2x4 is plumb if the wall is not. Plus you can have the 2x4 resting on the floor so that supports most of the load instead of relying totally on the anchors. Worked like a charm and is still solid as a rock after 7 years.

When you're using a hammerdrill, don't bear down like you would drilling metal or wood. Hammer drills don't cut away the concrete (that's why they don't have sharp, heavily spiraled teeth on the tip). The hammer action breaks up the concrete and the flutes pull it out, if you bear down on the hammer drill it can't properly reset for the next "hammer" impact, so it doesn't hammer effectively so it doesn't break off concrete and you just end up slowly grinding it away.

Great idea going vertical! I made a version of your horizontal storage cart for my own shop. My floor is horribly uneven, but instead of a spring loaded caster, I used a half-barrel gate hinge that allowed for variability in the swing. Basically the wall isn't holding anything up, just providing an anchor point for swing. Love the mistakes and workarounds in this video too!

Great cart idea. I just finished setting up my new 3 car garage shop, minus my old plywood cart. This is the design I'm going to clone. Thanks for the inspiration. Also, I build homes and use "Blue Screws" often. I've had them break frequently and eventually decided that it was all about the amount of the screw in the concrete. Going with the shorter screw was the correct choice. As soon as I saw the screws you were using I thought, those are going to break. Good on you for your powers of deduction, and for solving your problem.

I use a little scrap block of Beech for marking where screws go. In cross-section is shaped like a "shiplap", the rebate on one side is cut at 9mm (half of 18mm stock, your 3/4) and the one on the other side is cut at 6mm (half of 12mm stock, your 1/2) the block is 25mm wide (1 inch) for marking the distance in from the edge for the first screw, and the block is 300mm long (12 inch) for marking the space between each screw. I sit the rebate against the edge and scribe my center line for whatever thickness stock im using, use its width to mark the first an last screw, and use its length to mark the screws in between :)

I have a love/hate relationship with tapcons. When the concrete has its little pebbles in just the right places (i.e. not where the hole goes), they're great... and when the concrete isn't being friendly, you wind up with screws that don't go in all the way, but also that don't come out. Gotta try the wax idea.

Because of my shop layout, hinges have to go on the left side, so I need to be careful on reversing the design! I hope I don't make too many mistakes! LOL.

Great video and I appreciate the inclusion of your “learning opportunities”, which are often the most instructive moments. like the cart a lot and have built many similar pieces, but I can’t imagine why you’d want to limit its mobility by permanently pinning a corner to the wall. I prefer a slightly wider base with four free wheels, which enables me me to move it anywhere in my shop. Then a screw eye on each end of the cart and nearby wall, fastened with carabiners, and I have the ability to fix the cart against the wall with one or two points for more options. I have major tool-envy, FYI!

Tapcons break a lot in solid concrete, as floors frequently use a very high-strength mix. They work like a dream in concrete block or less hard concrete. I've found it's better to drill deeper than you need because 1) the tip hitting a solid part is insta-breakage, 2) the extra depth gives a little bit of room for the swarf created by the threads to evacuate

Tapcons definitely have a learning curve. I found that out installing hundreds of them for my basement subfloor. I bought a rotary hammer drill which was so much nicer than using a hammer drill. So would recommend to anyone that has more than a few tapcons to install to invest in this tool. Your other tip about making sure to drill far enough is right on as that dust in the hole will snap the screws off like nobody's business. I also ream out the hole as well just to make sure there is nothing that will grab the screw and then use an impact driver. If you only have a few to do then I guess doing them by hand is fine.

A few things I've learned: Always use the bit diameter the box says to use. Always drill a good bit deeper than the length of the screw- 1/2" at least. And always run the bit back and forth/ up and down multiple times in the hole to help clear it out.

I live in an old house (80+ years) with a poured concrete basement. Previous owners had attached all kinds of things directly to the concrete walls and had installed and later removed walls that were fastened to the floor. This resulted in many breaches of the concrete floor and walls, which, over time, has resulted in erosion and leaks when we have torrential rains (and occasional flooding). So over the past 5 years, since buying the house, I've been working to find and seal those leaks - which is a major pain. I'm in the process of constituting a woodshop in that same basement, and won't breach the concrete at all - for anything. Instead I'll drop studs down from the floor joists and attach to those. Where load is a consideration, I'll drop the studs onto free standing precast concrete deck blocks and engineer my way around having to breach any part of the foundation. I recommend against - in all cases no matter how new or old your house might be, to avoid breaching basement/foundation walls and floors. Water finds a way and over time, becomes the enemy.

Not a Tapcon pro, but have learned that overdrilling, plus being gentle with those final snugs using an impact driver have helped avoid the heads snapping off. When they do, just use the same drill bit and drill it again somewhere between the concrete and the side of the screw. Seems wonky to basically drill partially into the existing screw body, but it drills pretty easy, even with the masonry bit and the next screw goes in well every time and feels just as strong. That way you don't have to move your whole project (sometimes you just can't), and you don't risk having even worse luck in your second location.

I've always had good luck with Tapcons. I agree that your pre-drilled holes in the concrete are just a tad too shallow, as you pointed out, causing the Tapcons to break from over torquing. Always drill your holes at least 25% deeper than the screw length. If you drill them a tad too big in diameter and the screw slips in the hole, there is a simple fix... a great tip I got was to slide a piece of wire into the hole first (maybe even double it up). Takes up the extra space. :)

I’ve looked up and down for solid wood storage for my crappy one car garage… found it! Really this isn’t too long nor is it too high. I have one spot that is useless in my garage because it’s such a tight spot (the outer wall where my garage door meets) and currently all of my scraps are just semi propped against that wall or lying flat on the ground which is no good. In fact I think I have a mouse living in the pile of scraps 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ll probably have to make my version thinner however I couldn’t ask for a better solution beyond building a shed and I just don’t store plywood sheets that often so it’s fine. I loved ShopNation’s faux wall/french cleat that hid his storage of ply but I need mine clear off the ground. There was another one that was cool called the “Mohawk” of wood storage, it was off the ground, ply sheets in the back and off cuts in the front, hence the name but it has to be bumped out so far I couldn’t fit my car in. Thanks so much, I can’t wait to build one and remove the hiding spot for the intruder 🐁

I like the idea on doing this vertically. I have really tall ceilings in the small shop, and made a horizontal plywood card because it fits by the door opening. Thinking about it I can just move other tools to that area, and then move this a little further back into the shop where I have the height.

Marc, put a heavy coat of paste wax on the bottom of the sections where you slide the sheets in and out. Did it to mine when I built it and it still slides in and out easily after 7 or 8 years.

First time commenting long time viewer. Just wanted to add some insight from Europe. Never seen these “tapcons” before, seems like a weird solution to me honestly. For masonry/concrete (which is basically every wall ever for us 🙂) we drill oversized holes and use specialized plugs (different plugs for different materials, brick, concrete, aerated concrete etc.). This is usually stronger than needed. Only downside is when drilling in softer stone the hole can get oversized, which compromises the connection. In ye olde times they just filled the holes with dowels instead of plugs.

Hi Mark, other than weight, do you see any reason why I couldn’t widen the project so I can store more sheets of plywood?

Just a thought - it looks like your wall may be slightly out of plumb. If you use the longer Tapcon screws in the upper hinge and put a thin piece of shim wood behind it, it should allow the wheel to track on the floor when the rack is swung out without changing the mounting position when the rack is against the wall.

The wall is plumb....but experimenting with shims sounds like a reasonable thing to do.

What if you attached the hinges to a board which gets anchored into the wall? Curious if it would help eliminate direct stress on the hardware used to attach the hinges.

you need to put shims between the top hinge and concrete wall so that the wheel on the outer end sits on the floor i saw you had to push back the rack a little i think your concrete is not plumb

Great video as always! To screw into concrete use anchors, they are better

Exact same experience with Tapcons when I had to anchor some remodel walls to the floor. Similar approach fixed my problems as well, but still obnoxious
