    Great video. Sweet to the point and no rediculous intro. No 5 minute story about your grandma's visit. No asking for like and subscribe. Thank you.
  • @KomarProject
    Johnny This is an awesome build for storage. Just did the same thing in my garage but with some metal brackets and my coat was $166. So you got me on coat saving lol. Great job dude!!!
  • When laying out measurements for specific items you plan to store, ALWAYS give yourself extra inches. 2 to 6 inches. You never know when you're going to need that extra space and it can really come in handy. For example, camping supplies in the 2 stacked bins with a nice 5" space above for tucking in and storing a few tarps. Never go for "tight" when laying out measurements for storage shelf or unit. What if bin sizes change? What if what you need to store needs to change? That extra space gives you flexibility and more options. : )
  • And before the sawdust settles my wife is off to Target because now thereโ€™s storage for seasonal throw pillows, cases of pumpkin spice candles, motivational quote decor.

    Just wanted to say thanks for providing me the motivation to do this in my garage! I have a sloped ceiling at one end of my garage and I built the shelves there. Was difficult as a one-man job but doable by using some clamps to keep things in place. As some others stated, I used lag screws (GRK) and some L brackets to help with some extra sturdiness. Plywood is quite pricey so my project came in around $200 or a little more with the non-wood supplies. Thanks again for clearing up my floor!
  • @metalwings24
    Thank you @crafted workshop and @Jay Bates for your videos. You both have made it simpler than getting something from Ikea and assembling. I have ended up creating 2 of these in my garage and plan to create 1 more very soon!
  • @laurahanson4282
    Fantastic video! We built our at home garage shelf this weekend using your guidance and we're so pleased with the result. Cheap, easy, sturdy, and it looks nice too!
  • @malona23
    Thank you so much!! I almost bought my husband shelves from amazon and right before I finalized the order I said, let me check youtube first and BAM!!! You're amazing.
  • @Gino_567
    Great vid. But those ceiling joists aren't designed to take a heavy loads if you intend to use them for storage. Keep that in mind when you have trusses above and you're screwing into the bottom chords.
  • @xyzcreate
    This project is dangerous because when completed, you realize how much space you just made and you go out and buy a bunch more stuff to fill it back in.
  • @shanesdiy
    Thanks for the video and plans! I used them to build some of these in my garage and they are awesome. Super strong and allowed me to use so much previously wasted space.
  • @JayBates
    Definitely a handy storage project.
  • @thegsusfreek2
    Awesome! Was planning on doing this soon! I was thinking about running a second, parallel set of overhead storage further in over the garage door. Thinking having the storage entirely joist-supported should be fine for another couple hundred pounds. They are holding up a roof and a second story after all.
  • @someoldguy383
    The most amazing thing in this whole video is that you apparently have a stud finder that actually finds studs. I've tried multiple brands and never found one yet that worked at all.
  • @1newnemesis
    just used this design for the back wall of my garage. adding some gorilla glue on all the joints makes it really solid. also primed and painted everything after cutting and prior to install, leaving the joint locations bare for better glue adhesion. excellent design. thanks!
  • @diazfamily1337
    Thanks for sharing this, Ive watched it about 20 times and used this method to build my own overhead shelving in my garage. The hardest thing was finding the ceiling joists as my home has a joist and a metal framing grid for the drywall, which made finding wood to drill into a real pain. All in all took about a weekend and Im stoked to have my garage floor back, Cheers !
  • @backatbragg
    I did something very similar but I used 2x3s for the lag into the wall support because it is next to impossible to find 2x2 straight at Lowes or Home Depot. Also used L shaped steel 3x3 hinges to support the brackets
  • Cannot wait to get started on this project... Thanks for the FREE plan!!
