Using the back frame and clamping the front frame to it to use as a template is such a simple idea but I never would have thought of doing it that way. Genius

Lol. Love the fact I'm not the only sad one sat here watching this first thing on a Sunday morning. 2k views in just 45 minutes ain't bad. Twenty years ago I'd be waking up on a Sunday a few hours later with a ridiculous hangover and maybe a random bird from the pub. Now it's a fresh head a cup of coffee and keen intrest in building some new shelving to better organise my garage

I was having similar thoughts... Best of it is, I don't even need any shelves, in fact I don't have a garage to put them in. I'll probably watch one about sharpening chisels next, or maybe renovating a historic shovel. Who knows? In fairness though, this guy built some sturdy looking shelves. I built some in the pantry once, and they were OK providing you didn't put anything on them.

Very impressed with your pocket hole jig ;-)

Those bunk beds are perfect for family at Christmas 😂

Your attention to detail, and application of intelligence is joyful to watch. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!

Love the way you present Stuart, totally inspirational and humorous, keep it up😀

Love your videos, even when they about things I won’t ever build with tools I don’t have, I just love your planning and presentation. Great videos and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you 👍

Great minds follow the same path. I built a 16 ft long version of this shelving back in the early 80's in my basement. I had just done some demo upstairs so I had access to some 70 year old door casing material (stronger wood than you can buy today). i stood these 7' 6" 4" wide boadrs up against the wall and toe nailed the tops into the ceiling joists above. For the runners I cut some 2x2:s and ran them across that basement wall. I then mirrored that frame in place against the wall so everything would match up, I used 2x4's for the uprights because i had them on hand. I used 3/8" chip board and made them just sort of 16" wide (2 per 4x8 sheet) and nailed them in place. My self height was a foot and like you the borrom eas the nasement floor. That was 42 years ago and they have served me well

Fantastic to see almost exactly the design that I used for my garage being given the properdiy seal of approval. I even remember having to reverse my top sheet in the same way.

Has it really been two-years already? Wow, I remember watching both videos and it was your lighting video that encouraged me to install my own lighting in the loft. Best decision I ever did because being up there now is soo much easier. I actually did exactly what you did by terminating it to a UK plug for use with a socket.

At last! I knew 3”x2” would be enough. Thanks for showing and confirming that. I can crack on with my own now. 👌👍

I have got several of this design of shelves in my garage and they are so useful. Only one slight issue I found when building them (exactly as you did) is the floor needs to be level or else you have a bit of fettling to do to get them level front to back with the cross members. I loved building mine and now have no space left to build any more I am 'all shelfed up' !!

Been a fan of your Proper Dogging channel for years but I’m ashamed to say I’ve only just come across this channel. Enjoying the vid!

Great idea with the dpm socks

I always put a shallow amount of postcrete down before watering in and loading the bigger amount.

Outbuilding. An outhouse is something completely different... Nice upgrade to the outbuilding. "Check your screw length first. Don't ask me how I know." Not said, just implied. Take care & stay safe.

Parkside tracksaw still going strong!

2x3's are excellant for lots of projects where 2x4's are being used. Save a tree, use 2x3's!

Great video and simple to follow video. Nicely done😊

Yes ,for a beginner 3 x2 is good.which is CLS in the UK. I feel a better option is 2 x2 to begin with. 2x4 although the favourite of Americans is very heavy to work with.

Thanks, it is really excellent work.

A genius yet simple way to build Stuart. Thanks for this.

Love the videos each time you post what we need

Another perfectly timed video ahead of my new shed purchase and fit out 👍

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you.

Love it, cheers Stuart ❤

Useful for those of us with concrete garages too 🙏

Brilliant Stuart. Like others I am thinking of building shelving in my garage . Like you I cant move for clutter. Very timely video thanks.

Great topic Stuart, very timely and helpful as my shed is crying out for some shelving - scaled down from the dimensions for your barn, of course. Thank you!

Nice job Stuart, looks solid, as you say

Great job,very practical 👍🏾🇦🇺

Inspiration from how Ana White built shelves in her many-million-views vid a few years ago 😉

Brilliant video

Great work 👍 just what I need, for the exact reasons, but don’t get rid of stuff….. you know you’ll need it at some point 😘

Lovely job

I love a good shelf for all the items I may need one day

Great video Stuart, now looking to do the same, thanks for the inspiration. 😊

Great job Stuart. I did pretty much exactly the same thing in my shed in the last couple of weeks. Agree on the 3*2 rather than 4*2 as well. Thanks.

Great video as always Stuart. Built something similar to this recently. Painting the uprights etc is a great way to get rid of old paint cans with little amounts left in them. That’s what I found anyway!

Wow..simple but genius! Thank you very much for sharing 😀

Great inspiration

Surely the first thing to do is to make the structure a bit more watertight? Various holes in the zinc sheers could be easily plugged.

Nice. Done something very similar a few years back in my garage. Just used sheets of flooring chipboard instead. . Also makes a great 3 level bunk bed if the need ever arises. 😅

Thanks for this, I was trying to work what I was going to do for shelving in my garage workshop.

Great video, always good entertainment. I recently bought the Rutland plunge saw and the Evolution long guide rails. They work brilliant and were an Amazon bargain

Lovely house and garden…

I ended up buying the Ikea shelves, that are less than 1x3. And they seem to be plenty strong. So I would definitely consider building with 1x3 material or 1x4, and not 2x4 for the typical home shelving.

I love watching your channel!!!

I have built similar shelves. I have found that since I am generally not storing 300 pound weights on them, I can get rid of the center support in the middle of the front.side. It simply allows for easier access/movement of storage boxes on and off the shelves. I have not had a shelf sag or break yet. Just a thought.

Nice job and like the shelves!

I think the reason, us Americans use 2x4s are because they are more readily available and usually the cheapest option because that what is the most common, but I agree a 2x3 would be fine for what you're building it for

They won't be falling down in a hurry!

Bang tidy Stuart! 😀

I need to do the same in my shed.

Great idea to do the front and back frame together , I suppose if you’re an engineer that’s the way you mind works 😊 . Had to put some shelves up in a new concrete garage . Couldn’t drill the walls so used OB1 adhesive to fix batons to the walls , worked a treat . Great channel with some really good tips and tricks . 👍

Good vid. Store the “Drinks” bowl upside down so that insects don’t get trapped in there and die a slow agonising death. 👍🏻

I did similiar in my garden store and the lowest shelf bearer was about 10mm above the height of the ride on bonnet so that I can "park" most of it under the shelving and out the way

Are you on UK tv aswell? You seem to me like the personality type that is easily liked :)

Agree with others. Evolution rail 2800... £71 on Amazon, £84 in Screwfix. 2 1400 rails, bag, 2 clamps. Work great.

Great. I need ideas on what throw away.

Id be watching this with a beer . But i can't buy one until 10:30am 😂. Fyi its 10:10am Not long to go . Brilliant video thanks for sharing 😊

Great stuff. I am sure there is a law somewhere that states the more shelves you have the more stuff you have to put on them.

This is a great idea i may adopt in the next 2 days lol i have spent the last 3 days building my Shed (Workshop/Man Cave i told the wife its just a shed lol) 3.7 X 2.2 Meter (I say 2 days because i still have all the outer feather edge and metal sheets to hang and a door and window to install) any ways i some how out of all the materials i ordered ended up with 3 sheets of 11m osb too much and was unsure WTH i was going to do with it i may actually make a some small cupboards and shelving system.

Would love a video on servicing the John Deere

“all that stuff I saved but never used” 🤣 pissing meself

How much did this cost in materials

"...although a lot of tyoutube videos come in from a certain country will make you think you do..." lol brilliant!!😁
