This was the best 2x4 tote rack video I've seen out of the dozens I've watched. Great work!!

Week-end-warriors like me appreciate the details you provide in your videos. Thanks to you, I'll be able to build this relatively easily!

Previous comment disappeared so here we go again... This is such a nice tutorial, best in class with no attempt to sell you crap. In an attempt to pay it forward I put together a spreadsheet to do the calculations for any bin design. A few improvements that are possible 1) Lower the position of the first rail so that that the lowest bin rides on the frame rather than the rail, this allows you to load ridiculous amount of weight in the bin without jeopardizing the bin or the rail 2) Run 2x4 or 2x3 brace at 30 degrees inside every few of the rail frames to stabilize front to back movement. 3) Run a 2.5x0.5" diagonal brace along the back to stabilize side-to-side movement with minimal impact to rack depth (not sure why Mr. Meyers ran 2x4s horizontally, even if you have to run multiple diagonal braces it is still much better than a horizontal one). 4) Increase the bin horizontal pitch slightly, seems that Home Depot has decreased the bin width a bit over the years so if you have a mixture of new and old bins and design very tightly the old bins may not fit.

That speed square/circular saw trick is awesome. Coming from a complete know nothing background, thats the kinda tips im looking for. Thanks dude.

Simply excellent! Concise, thorough, clear, and complete! Thanks!

I made a similar unit for my Hubs tool shop last year. I loke how your video is precise and to the point! Great job and an awesome usable idea!! Thank you!!

Build support 1x4 or 2x4’s across the side base and tops and you get no wobble. Cross beams work best if you know how to make them or want to look them up!

This guy is a great teacher. But giving serious Crispin Glover/George McFly vibes. Not necessarily a bad thing. He was a smart dude. LOL

Thank you for being so specific….

I'd probably do 2 things. Install some sort of lift at the bottom if you have a water heater near there. If the WH leaks, it can flood the garage and ruin the wood (experience). or use Pressure Treated wood on the bottom. Also, I'd probably just mount it to the concrete blocks. Be more secure and less chance it ever wobbles or falls over.

You could have used the metal flange on the outfeed roller to your measurements and just cut them instead of measuring and marking each board..

Where is your home depot? I've never seen boards that straight at mine!!!

Did you make 2 separate units and then screw them together for the 2 different size totes? It looks amazing btw :)

Apologies for the rookie comment, but if your bins are 28 1/2" long, and your rails are only 27" long, wouldn't the bins stick out of the rack an 1 1/2" ?

Pretty neat rack. Thank you. Safety glasses though. Just sayin. 😂

strange question: do you cut at the line/outside the line at the front or back and consider the blade thickness?

If the bins are 15 1/2 inches tall, why did you do the first one from the bottom at 15 inches and then the rest at 16 inches

Nice.. what are you doing yo create the white labels?

What are the dimensions of the completed rack? Thanks

Why are the edges of the video blurred and slightly distorted? I thought I was losing my vision for a second! It's very distracting - whatever in camera effect or lens, or post-production edit has causing it... please stop it.
