I needed some more bench space, and I wanted some moving carts that would serve as a work surface and some extra storage too whenever I need it. I tried to come up with a very simple modular design that would also allow me to link these together and add...
So I think this project deserves its own blog post just because I love how space efficient it is, and how fun it is to see all that lumber up on the wall! I got two of these mounts on sale 50% off, and decided to go ahead and use...
This is the finest thing I’ve ever built. The idea was inspired by a shelf of similar design that my great grandfather handmade and handed down to my grandfather. I grew up seeing it in his office, and I thought I’d make one of my own. It currently holds all the...
These are the latest version of the heavy duty shelving, built for the new 10×20 Louisiana Destination Imagination storage shed. The design is exceedingly simple so hopefully the pictures speak for themselves! I decided to split up the original 2x8ft design and instead make two identical 2×4 foot shelves instead...
Pictured first is a lathe tool mount, made for the shop wall. This one is fitted for 1 inch diameter tools and made out of some oak scraps. Just cut about a 2-inch strip that will fit all of whatever you need to put in it (when you measure, be...
My parents have some unfinished space next to a water heater in basically a closet at the top of their house. I wanted to provide them with some additional storage space for a few boxes that needed to get out of the way, so I came up with a solution...
This is obviously an adaptation of the other heavy duty wooden shelving I’ve built – this one was ridiculously tall, but allowed for the entire back wall of a third garage to be used as storage space.
We took some scrap pieces of wood and threw this rack together for my friend’s kayaks. It’s a little warped, but it works! We used an assortment of scrap 2×4, 1×2, 2×6, and 1/4 inch plywood pieces. First we measured the dimensions of each kayak to make sure we could...
I built these shelves for my sister’s family, and organized their garage to provide better access to its contents. These are about 6ft tall, 2ft deep and 8ft wide. I made the basic platforms quickly out of 2x4s and 1/4 inch plywood, and then tacked them up with 2×4 legs....
This was a fun project! Pretty simple and easy – the idea was my father’s, and I used some jars he saved for this project. I’ve thought about making some improvements, but it seems to be holding up just fine, even with all the junk we’ve filled the jars with...
This particular shelf was built for the Louisiana Destination Imagination storage unit that I maintain. We had a 10×10 unit (since upgraded to a 10×20) that was full to the ceiling, and we desperately needed a storage solution. This solution definitely got boxes up off the ground and out of...
