Woodworking: How to build Sawtooth Shelves

[@josechavez5950]

Great video, love the clever trick to make the sawtooth uprights and the good humor was an added bonus...

[@Gelovan682]

have never seen/heard of this shelving system. some nameless carpenter 100 years ago came up with it, never thought of posting it on youtube or I would know all about it. great narration, photography and humility

[@timpgod]

This is by far the coolest shelf system I've ever seen!! How have I never heard of it and why isn't it in every little closet on the planet??! Freakishly versatile... Amazing work as always!!

[@befmx31]

Totally agree.

[@GunflintDesigns]

Great job Drew! The project was good, but your style and humor coming though at the same time made it a few notches better!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Mark! And Gunflint Designs had its first cameo appearance. Did you see? :)

[@GunflintDesigns]

I did! As soon as that camera angle came up I thought, "Hey that's me!!!"

[@giantsfan1925]

where was the cameo

[@kayura77]

Can I just say that I love your stop motion and how your lumber (or painted brackets) finds its own way where it needs to go? Because it's absolutely charming! It's awesome 💖

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! ;)

[@markabernard]

This is by far the best system out there. I never even heard of them before. Great job. Great video.

[@FishersShop]

Thank you!

[@ronwallerich9469]

How refreshing and humorous .Love the fact that you brought your son into the video. You are my new BFF for woodworking videos.

[@FishersShop]

Haha, thanks, Ron! :)

[@jimbolton2513]

Clever. I don't recall seeing this style anywhere else and loved the commentary.

[@MitchellDeitrich]

What clever shelving system! The stop motion was awesome.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Mitch! Yeah... about 6hrs of work for about 15seconds of footage. lol! It was fun, but I'm not sure just how much of that I'll be doing in future vids. I have a new found respect for guys like Frank Howarth and all the stop motion he does.

[@yourface8698]

Such a relaxing video to watch and listen to

[@jimhester2004]

This is a great idea. And timely. I'm going to be doing some closet shelves soon. The video is well made, and the low key humor is a real treat. Thanks for this.

[@andrewk-majordochomerepair6014]

Haven't seen this "old" idea for easily adjustable (though a bit time consuming prep) shelving in the past or in any other blogs or videos... Fun presentation and film work. Thank you for posting! If no wall studs available, 90% of the time I use pop-toggles, which I feel are much more secure and durable than standard" mollies, while still being very affordable [you do need to know your drywall thickness for these]. I'd recommend using these instead. I have designated pants and shorts as well as about 4 (!) T-shirts and a very beat up sweatshirt from circa 1990, LOL, that are my designate painting & reno clothes. If you're a home owner or, like, me also enjoy doing part-time "professional" small home repair and renovation work, designating a set of clothes is essential.

[@JRLNeal]

Refreshing new take on a diy video. Just enough zany humour thrown in with the wood working. Very entertaining.

[@datadev1]

You have a great way with words and descriptive adjectives. You must be a writer. Your narratives are wonderful.

[@Sebastopolmark]

Some projects are worth the extra effort and something like this is one of them. Especially on some of those long winter days. GREAT commentary AND editing. Always look forward to watching your videos. Thanks.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Sebastopolmark. Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment.

[@daveoconnell9100]

Thanks so much for such a good video. I might never build a saw tooth shelf but I certainly found it interesting. Your sense of humour too is very engaging.I love the way you got everything in without having any padding.

[@ddbyrd2001]

Great video Fish. The out takes are a riot... mostly cuz all of us small shop and garage builders can relate so well. It's all about how you turn mistakes into features. Thanks for the ideas and the humor. Darren

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Darren!

[@chrisemens4022]

Cool project and very funny! Commentary on outtakes were awesome.

[@davidrichards7722]

I enjoyed that very much, love your sense of humour, Thanks for sharing

[@scotthopgood8317]

Why would anyone thumbs down such creativity ??? It's a thumbs up from me , awesome vid in many ways 👍👌✊😁😂👏

[@clutions]

Jealous!

[@neilbarrie7141]

Never seen that shelving solution before. Nice. I'll be sure to amaze all my friends and family with it once I've claimed it as my own... Thanks Mr Fisher!

[@FishersShop]

You're welcome, sir.

[@gardeningdianne]

I love your quip about metric loving viewers. I moved from the UK in 1967 to Australia. So, we had to adjust from Imperial measurements to Metric. It was hard at first, but we did manage after a some time. Incidentally, it was illegal to sell measuring tapes or rulers with both Metric and Imperial for a number of years in Aussie. My guess is, they wanted people to adjust to using metric and the imperial rulers were not allowing this transition. It is not like this today and you can quite readily purchase both measuring systems on the one tape or ruler. keep up the great projects. That was a 'Small Smiling Child' you used. Ha! Ha!

[@JointerMark]

A great solution very well presented. Thank you!

[@FredrickLackey]

Such a great idea... and video. These would even be wife-proof (mine tends to overload ours, and yank 'em from the wall, in every house we have).

[@petershevlan2513]

Good woodworking and bad jokes! Just what I like. Cheers.

[@bobdollar8746]

Very well done. I have heard of this type of shelving but never saw one till now. Also loved to out takes... thanks

[@MrPotato2]

Nice job. I will be making some of these in the next week or two. Thanks for the great video!

[@billopad9625]

Great video! Started out with just good instructions and then humour bomb, humour bomb, humour bomb! Nice one!

[@steelpennyforge5152]

Man I love classic, clean functional stuff! Awesome build

[@aljogosselin]

Awesome, love the Outtakes.

[@timflanigan8586]

Love the commentary! Your delivery and humor are great! I'd never seen or heard of "sawtooth shelving", but I honestly have a closet that would be perfect for them. Keep on making these, we'll keep on watching them!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Tim! Much appreciated.

[@terrysmith1310]

great build and good jokes lol

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola! 🖐Truthfully speaking, this is the very first time I see anything like this. This is really, really cool! I already have an idea of a few places where I can utilize this very concept. Thanks for the video, I always enjoy your presentation AND your humor. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

[@FishersShop]

Thanks so much!

[@HeavyOpera1]

This was a great video on two fronts: one, it gave me a great idea for my shoe closet, and two, it was hilarious. Thanks!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you liked it, HeavyOpera1

[@michaelbreaux9164]

I love the design. It Looks like a LOT of work.

[@dannyhale7645]

Cool build. Love the stop motion animation and the BRB shirt.

[@NV..V]

"If you don't have a small child, you can borrow one." Made me spit out my coffee laughing! My new favorite channel! Thanks.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Nick! :)

[@chuckholton4666]

Love the project and the lame jokes! Great job!

[@lostnation5348]

First video of yours that I have watched. Made me smile before I hit the sheets. Nice job.

[@hansdegroot8549]

I'm new to your channel. This saw tooth shelf system is perfect! I've never seen this before. Thanks for sharing. I'll make these coming winter.

[@hebierob]

Your work stands on its own merit, videos as well, however with my “Three Amigo” and “Fletch” movies style of humor I consider yours sophisticated!

[@gsfuentes57]

Excellent idea! Love the versatility.

[@befmx31]

I really enjoy your videos and I learn something with each one.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks!

[@chadlegault9993]

Yes, I agree! Awesome video.

[@ironmantooltime]

Something apparently quite straightforward executed to perfection. Nice job 🙂

[@myvotedontcount20]

class and you always keep it simple

[@jordanbowes5707]

The extra jokes and great editing put your videos over the top for me. I'd watch just to enjoy seeing a project be completed but I like the videos because of stuff like the stop motion

[@simonmurray2002]

Cool video, I haven't seen this style before, your videos always crack me up. I'm stealing you "we're not building a church" line!

[@blackemmons]

Really enjoyed the narration. JimE

[@jakeszetela6537]

Great video! Love the stop motion.

[@tekviper9]

Love the project and the not so lame jokes. you are very entertaining Mr. Fisher! :-D

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Keith!

[@Jamkevcr88]

I've never seen this design before but I like it

[@harryiom9397]

Youre actually both entertaining and a really good source of useful information! Keep up your brilliant work!

[@dalejones919]

Great work!! I really appreciate the work you did in SketchUp. I find myself doing the same thing by drawing the room first and then going to town with designs that fit perfectly the first time. I also loved your humor and video editing styles. Thanks so much sharing and keep up the good work.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Dale! The SketchUp drawing of my basement was back from when I was doing concept drawings for how I might want it to look once I finished it. That drawing is the closest representation to how it looks now and I find myself still using it to mock up other projects like I did in this video. Thanks for the nice comment and for watching, Dale!

[@Honda_sev]

Hey awesome video! I think I just found my kitchen closet solution! Thank you!

[@darky85]

thanks for showing this great idea.

[@Temuba]

Excellent vid. I've seen this style of shelving in old books & magazines. Never gave it any thought, however a great idea and functionality for my hall linen closet. Thanks, keep up the great work.

[@7735518mg]

this is one of my favorite videos !! very entertaining !! well done !

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Legmaker! Glad you liked it

[@ianpearse4480]

Loved the out takes. Thanks for the video. Off to make a version for the garage with 2x4's I think. Cheers.

[@FishersShop]

Have fun!

[@williambranham6249]

Neat idea, good video production, pleasant voice, outtakes_ I've been there.

[@mrupholsteryman]

Thanks for the outtakes! I recognized that first song in the background!

[@rishat1254]

Great project. But even better video production and editing. Good job.

[@DontTreadOnMeToo]

Nice idea. Thanks for sharing the screw ups...nice to know I'm not the only one

[@JimAckroyd]

I don't often make comments but this definitely deserves a 'Great job Drew'!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Jim! :) Glad you liked it and thanks for watching.

[@ryancrowe3475]

I truly enjoyed this video!

[@jimhester2004]

I forgot to mention. Thanks for the plans! I can't design anything on my own, so these will be a big help.

[@FishersShop]

Glad I could help, you're welcome

[@OfficialSNIxn]

Very nice work. You put a lot of effort into this video (voice over, stop motion, 3d render) nice job cheers

[@skatlitl1]

I'm not sure if I enjoy your woodworking or sarcastic sense of humor more.

[@flyinghero5283]

Brilliant video. Well done

[@silversurfer233]

Nice work with great editing.

[@josephfrank4382]

This is brilliant. Im about to put a storage area into my basement and was having trouble deciding on how I was going to arrange the shelves to support the myriad of crap we own and continue to rotate in and out on a regular basis. This seems like the perfect solution. I am only slightly sad that the cedar got covered with paint, however the price was right! :)

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Joseph! Yeah, I asked the wife about painting them and she wanted them to blend into the interior of the closet. Gotta do what the boss says, right? Happy wife, happy life. :)

[@SumD-EGuy]

My first video of yours and I'm hooked! Keep up the great work.

[@jaykepley5238]

Nicely done. I enjoy your videos very much.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Jay!

[@jucknorreyne]

Nice job and 10 out 10 for the corny humor. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to more vids.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Jucknor!

[@johnduerden]

Loving the commentary. And the shelves

[@TheMuzShop]

Sweet video Bro!! I love the stop motion. Great idea and build.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Mike!!

[@pjwpsw1]

This was the first video of yours I watched. I loved it!!! Kinda has that stumpy nubs quality but more pleasing. I look forward to going through your library of vids.

[@kopperlanimalrescue3046]

love this idea might try that on my tiny home project

[@acasper54]

Great video. I think I may do this in my shop

[@paulsimmons390]

great video I learned something I did not know Thank you

[@THExLAWxMAN]

This was a cool video, nice job on the wood working.

[@jb_woodcraft]

Really enjoyed the video Drew! I also really liked the brb t-shirt and your woodworking humor during the video!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Jason! Looking forward to putting your sticker in some of my upcoming vids.

[@jasonbailey9139]

"It's like a cedar scented clump of Carrot Top's afro and just like his career--there it goes." OK, you are officially my favorite comic/woodworker. How did I not discover you earlier? I need to delve into your back catalog.

[@schm4704]

Jason Bailey +1 for the smurf barberpole

[@williamellis8993]

I agree. That's why I just found this one.

[@bobbailey1288]

The out-takes were hilarious

[@doublebulbing]

yea that stuff should not be outtakes but clearly included

[@angelfraguada9772]

This was a great video , well done

[@israelgarza169]

this is my first video of yours. You're awesome!

[@sapelesteve]

I don't know what I liked more, the lame jokes or the shelving project. Nice work........ :)

[@FishersShop]

Haha, thanks Steve!

[@xylemmelyx]

+1 for “man points”, +another one for the migrating gaggle of brackets. Great vid. Thanks

[@bobdoyle5292]

Awesome idea!

[@bbhunnicutt]

Hilarious and informative! Thanks, man.

[@snapjamwoodworks710]

I would argue that they are Dad Jokes vice lame jokes!! Well done!!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Snapjam!

[@raraavis7782]

Ha. I saw those sawthooth thingies just yesterday in the home improvement store and puzzled about them - they were stored with the decorative moulding...seemed like an unlikely design to me 😁 Now I know, what they are for! It's so clever! But I'm quite sure I've never seen them in use before...I wonder why? Seems like a very sturdy, adjustable base for shelves to me. Loved the animation, btw...very cute!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Rara!

[@Sewcialitecrew]

I’ve never seen this before but it’s awesome!

[@vc20029]

Nice idea thanks for sharing

[@mikesrestoration]

exactly what I needed for our pantry. Thanks for the video. oh, Love the shirt.

[@cesaraugustogarciaobando3427]

GRACIAS AMIGO POR COMPARTIR ESTA FORMA DE HACER ESTANTES --------------

[@HaggisFist]

Randomly ran across your channel. Insta-sub! Love your sense of humor man! Great project!

[@malenekoldborg]

nice project☺ didnt know bout sawtooth shelves. i learn something new everyday☺ also really like your humour👍 the manpoint bit made me think if steve ramseys manly man video. 😆

[@FishersShop]

Thanks malene

[@JasonErdmann]

Great idea, my only suggestion would be to somehow label every tenth notch or so, that way it's easier to line up when adjusting shelf height.

[@FishersShop]

Not a bad idea if you plan on adjusting them often. Thanks, Jason

[@MrRedTux]

I now have something new to look forward to in my bevy of woodworking videos... dad jokes. :-D
