Modular Power Tool Carts

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...

Leaning Shelf

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...

Heavy Shelving (V3)

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...

Giant Ugly Garage Shelf (v2.1)

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.

How To Build A Quick & Cheap Kayak Rack

How To Build Garage Shelving (v2)

How To Build Garage Shelving (v1)

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...

Wind Zipline – Instant Challenge Setup

This was a pretty simple setup that my father and I built. Once we got the plywood triangles cut, it was just a matter of measuring the cable and adjusting it to achieve the right amount of tension. The two triangle end pieces are connected with three 8ft 2×2’s. This...
