This looks like a great project for newer woodworkers to build skills without being too difficult. The end product looks great also. Nice design.

My wife walked in on me watching this video. She wants a shoe rack, book shelf and kitchen china display built like this... Thanks Steve?

This is great! Really like the design and the cleverness of the build.

Cool project! I love the fact that it requires minimum glue up! Neat design too!

Hey Steve - big fan from Ottawa, Ontario (Canada). Look forward to your videos each week, and helped inspire me to get back in my shop! Thanks and keep up the fantastic work!

Wow Steve lining up all those holes. That would make me crazy! You did a great job. Thanks for the project,

Love this…made it years ago (and in part to justify buying that drill press I wanted). Now making one as a gift, different dimensions and FOUR levels. Lots of dowels and pieces to keep strait. Early dry fit finds lots of friction…I’m using paste wax (Johnson’s 😢) for needed lubrication on the dowels.

Great to see you using a Japanese hand saw on the dowels! They look perfect for small precise work

I love the dowel jig on the drill press. Thanks Steve!!

Once again, you have made a complex looking project look easier. Thanks and keep them coming.

Espero cada viernes tus nuevos trabajos, gracias por poner tan buen humor en tus proyectos! (Desde Buenos Aires, Argentina)

I liked! Very easy to do and a beautiful result. And thank to sharing the project in millimeters.

Love the simple design even if you have to be careful to drill the holes. Great job Steve!!!!

thank you for posting the plans for this in millimeters :) I'm using a different metric system and this really comes in handy. keep up the great work! I'm a big fan Steve!

built the shoe rack last weekend, cool project.

Thanks for the free plans Steve

What a great project, Steve. I am going to try this in a couple of days. You are GOOD!

Wow that turned out very nice.

I love the way you do your sponsorship your the only who makes me want to buy there products and I don't work on woodworking projects a lot

Another great project Steve! Thanks for being such a good teacher !!!

Awesome simplicity man

Thank you for making something that we want to make again!

I built this and had one suggestion. Inserting the dowels was difficult at best. I found the process a lot easier when I put a very small amount of floor wax on the dowels. This made it much easier to do.

Awesome and ''simple'' project! I was just thinking that my next project should be shoe rack, well a bit different. Thanks for sharing!

Wow...It is very beautiful..

Just found out I can watch your videos on my smart tv using my playist on my ipad or android phone. A 59" HD screen is way better than my little screen on my phone. Fantastic project by the way

Love the channel, I've benge watched all of your videos. converted my basement into a woodshop recently and I'm gonna start building some new desk for my office

Wow Thank you for sharing this I think even I could do this project with the help of your instructions.

El mejor gracias x brindarnos esos proyectos tan hermosos felicidades maestro

Very nice project. Too nice for shoes as you said. I'm sure that it will find a better use. Thanks for sharing.

great design and I like how the danish oil accents the oak!

Have you ever made a folding hotel-style suitcase rack? I’d love to see you do one. Ralph

Beautiful!! Sei un grande!!

I am relieved to finally see Steve use a little dust control. Even if it only was to keep the chop saw from jamming up ;-) good for you!

Steve this is the first time that I comment on one of your videos even though i've been a subscriber for quite a lil while. It was the want to build a Hi-fi rack for my vintage audiophile equipment that brought me to your "end grain cutting board video" ever since I've been pretty hooked to woodworking and saved myself a lot of money building custom things that would have cost me way more. I am a fine artist and thanks to woodworking and people like you I am transforming my garage into an art studio. All is custom to my needs. Thank you and thank the woodworking community for sharing your knowledge and inspiring other people with their own ideas and designs. Have a Blessed Day!

Hey Steve great video. Been thinking of making a shoe rack for ages and this helped me a lot. Thanks again

Lovers in the world will be exchanging sweet Microjig for Valentine's Day! That's so sweet! Those lovers surely are woodworkers. >.

Super idea, thank you.

I made this years ago…it’s in daily use. Now another for a gift. 👍

Good job Steve

steeeeeeve your awesome man love your projects keep up the good work i look forward to your videos every week you inspire me to start wood working

That was a good build. I like the look of it with the different slats.

Sweet, my pallet nightstands made your video! Keep up the good work Steve!

great project steve!

Everybody needs a good shoe rack!

Great job Steve!

Pub time here in England. Keep up the good work Steve.

Nice project Steve.

Love it Steve! Thanks for sharing. I always LOL at the intros for the MicroJig too. Nicely done :)

Another great video! Nice job Steve.

That's really cool... Liked the way u make it... I first time saw this method in life thanks... 😊

Hi Steve, i am a 12 year old kid with my own woodworking shop. I absolutely love the hobby and I love your videos. Thank you very much for the channel!!

Amazing! Thank you brother!

Beautiful shoe rack. I have the same drill press except mine now has delta pulleys and a craftsman motor. The things I do to keep my tools working....geesh

أفكارك رائعة شكرا لك

Very cool project.

Awesome! Keep making great videos!

Super! Dobry sposób. Pozdrawiam!

Great simple project steve !

Great project, I really like the look of the slats.

You built another winner Steve. Very nice.

Hi Steve! Great job!

Enjoy your videos very much - what great ideas you have!

I always see your videos, appreciate your work....Thank you

Hi Steve! Love your shows! Keep it up!

That is a really neat shoe rack!

Love you style of making video and all of your wooden working

Hey Steve. I have a rig that I use for Adirondack chairs at the drill press. Rather then coming from the side. I bring my pieces from the front. I set the bit on my mark and move my drill press fence into position. At each side of the piece I add two pieces of scrap that help me to line the pieces up. In a project like this. It's a lot of help. Works well for making chair seat slats. It hard to describe. But I can send a video if you want to see it.

Hi steve you are absoloutley brilliant

There's no way I'm going to be able to build any of the projects (lack of tools, materials, and skill), but I always like the effort you put into your builds. Great work.

Someday, I'm gonna add woodworking to my list of hobbies and build all the things, and be an official cool kid :)

That is really nice!

This idea was really Awesome and helpful bro........

Great as always! Looking forward to the day I have room for some tools and scrap wood to knock out a few projects of my own!

Adoro esse canal, já tentei alguns projetos, mas como não entendo muito bem inglês, e usamos um sistema de medição diferente, todo projeto está no hard

I have been so busy this weekend I didn't have a chance to watch this until now. I love it though! I would not make it for a shoe rack myself but looks great for organization in my crafting room. I use a lot of plastic shoe boxes - and a few cardboard ones too - that I could easily store on there. :) - Heidi

great work !

Another great video Steve. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome project, Steve! You, Marc (TWW) and Alex (ThisWoodwork) made me switch from IT to Woodworking! You guys rock!

Very fast and nice finishing

Cool build Steve. Nice to see all the holes line up. Not an easy task sometimes.

Thanks for doing what you do, Steve. Love it

Very Nice!!! Thanks!!

Nicely done. I like the perfectly sized assembly table as well.

Great stuff, I might just give this one a shot. Thanks Steve. Stewart, South West Australia.

I like this project, this is something that I can use next to the back door.

Nice work!

Wow Steve great project what a good idea also to only have glue up the end pieces I'm actually building an office desk for my bedroom in my high school shop class based off of your "elegant" and "quaint" writing desk it's birch ply wood with walnut accents I'll be sure to post pictures when it's done keep doing what your doing -Gabe

Love your videos very informative and entertaining.

I was recently considering a shoe rack for my closet and was thinking of using a solid sided structure (plywood). But I really like this idea more better (not a type - LOL). Oddly, it'll be my wife that is happy that I'm putting MY shoes where they go.

Hey Steve, love your videos. Keep up the good work!! Thanks for all you do for the woodworking community.

Just finished this as a present for my daughter for her new house. If you use the plans make sure you drill three holes in the down pieces (the plans only show two) Also sand down the dowels otherwise your going to need a big hammer to push them through all the holes. Great little project!!

Looks great

I know I am late to the party. But I love the videos very informative. One of my favorite things is when you start the show and get interrupted by the microjig the gripper add. I wish you had a compilation video of it. Very clever add input.

Super fantastic

Very nice!

Good work

First off, I would like to say thank you very much for the opportunity to download a couple of free plans to help us get started with our woodworking adventures. I will definitely be back to purchase other plans and will try and pay a bit more than the suggested price once things settle down a bit. Buying a home tightens the wallet a lot. I would ask one tiny little addition to your plans that I either am missing or aren't there are what size boards you are using for the project. If you could say just put " 2x - 2"x4"x8" at the top of the cut list, for example, it would be very helpful for us newbies. Not that you're busy or anything and need any additional work, I'm sure. Just a suggestion, but I really look forward to seeing your new videos and plan on going through your whole course of woodworking classes. Really enjoy your videos and frequently laugh out loud while watching them. Please keep it up. You are a very good teacher and entirely enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

I looked at the plan and seeing measurements in mm I believe ill opt out on this build

nice; looks complicated from outset but step by step the all clear
