I watched this video yesterday four or five times. Then I went out this morning and bought the lumber and built it. The design could not be more simple. All my lumber is finally off the floor after four years. Thanks for sharing.

This is by far the best looking lumber rack that I have watched being built. Thanks for another great video Jon. Now I am going to start on my own rack.

Just made this rack exactly as Jon did, except with oak arms. Absolutely love it. Thanks for the inspiration Jon!

I've watched several of these lumber rack videos and this is my favorite. Provides the functionality plus looks rather elegant. Really like watching your videos, thank you for sharing. ☺

You ate the best in explaining what you do. Plus, I love that red barn. You're a man of many talents. I've learned a great deal from you. Thank you for being there. I appreciate you very much. I'm from Florida, but looking to move back north. I miss it terribly.

Well, now I’m going to have to add this to my list of things to do in my workshop! Thanks so much for the demonstration.

Have been looking at building a decent wood rack for some time.After watching this presentation, this is the one for me. Many thanks.

WOW Jon--amazing--my lumber rack is an old bookcase made with plywood from the big box store--nice job!!!!!!

I was searching KZfaq for ideas for a rack to help organize my shop and seen all types but this one looked the easiest to build so I took some measurements from your video and designed it to what works in my shop. I built it all from 3/4'' ply pieces that I had and it worked great, can't wait to get the other three built and on the wall, thanks for the idea

I was skeptical about this project, but it really does seem really sturdy. Nicely done!

I really like this project.

Brilliant! I needed this tomorrow. Also LOVE your barn :)

I like your teaching... Tks!

That's the best plan I've seen for shelf racking

The simplicity to this project is outstanding. I watched this presentation over a year ago & I stumbled across it again. I will give your beautiful wood rack design serious consideration in the near future as currently I'm finishing up a 8 ft. miter saw bench build... Thank you, very well presented & an excellent piece of craftsmanship...:~)

Very nice build Jon. That rack will serve you well. Thanks for sharing. Chuck

nice design and very simple to build.

Thanks for the inspiration! I used your design but used black walnut as the center for the verticals as well. They turned out gorgeous. My wife and friends have commented on how nice they look but kind of look at me funny when I tell them it is maple and black walnut. My shop is my relaxing place and I like things to look nice. Thanks again!

Another great video!

Works fantastic, would recommend. Good value

Nice finishing touches with the taper and round over. I like the design.

Thanks for sharing. Great idea

Hello Mr. Peters, I am very impressed with your knowledge and attention to detail. I just watched your video on the lumber racks. At the very end you show the drum sanders and talk about the paint accumulation in the grit. I use rubber belt cleaning sticks to unclog my sanders to get maximum life from the grit. I purchase them at the local lumber yard and tool shop (they may be gotten at a Home Building Center as well?). They are long, rectangular, and work like a pencil eraser.

nice video Jon, appreciate the effort you put into these.

Es el mejor rack que he visto elegante y funcional diseño. He decidido fabricar el mio. Saludos

Yay for another video! Too bad is 3 a.m. here....tomorrow morning!

I used your design and made a rack for my basement shop. It works great.

Nice job, made the rack into a piece of art!

This is a late response but just watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very elegant build. Great job.

Thanks, Jon.

Nicely done

I just found your channel and I find your work informative and inspiring. I like that quality is a priority for you. I will be tuned in for future videos while I watch many of you existing ones. I will also be creating some of the projects you have shown us. This one for example.

GREAT idea, though. I really like this, and I'm going to use this tomorrow if I get time for my lumber racks tomorrow morning! They'll be up high though, instead of traditional upper cabinets.. but I do think this is exactly something I'm looking for to have done, adjustable racks if necessary. :) Good stuff.

Very Nice Lumber Rack Jon. Seen quite a few on youtube but this is one of the best. Cheers. Barry from England.

wow looks great!

I really appreciate how intuitive some of this stuff is with your video. @9:23 it isn't what these measurements should be. It's what do these measurements need to accomplish. You look at it and you get what you need from looking at it. The ruler is just for a straight edge if you need it. :)

Good job 👏🏻

Great idea I like it I'm going to up grade my racks to the type you have made thank you for the video

Great video as always.

good job mr.

Great video Jon! I need to make some of these soon in the shed I'm making. I have plenty of scrap plywood around and this is a great use of it. Love your channel- keep up the good work!

muito bom, parabens.

I like your job 👍

Nice work :)

lol just noticed that the 2x4 you used at the start of the video was made by Roseburg forest products. awesome to actually see a product that I have had a hand in producing be used in your channel. big fan of your videos!

Thank you Jon, I'm attaching my arms tomorrow. I ended up using maple for them, walnut was just too pricy. I may stain them because yours look really nice darker. It will be a welcome addition to the shop. Great design.

I wish my studs were 24” on center. That spacing is perfect lol mine are 16”. I’m thinking either making 4 rows like you 4 arms high (skipping every other stud) or making 5 rows 3 arms high (hitting every stud). Thanks for the design! It’s the best one I’ve seen.

Nice going Jon! I need a lumber rack in my shop so I am taking notes!

excellent

Starting to get organized

Nice rack, Jon LOL. That looks like it will hold a lot of lumber and yes, I had the same problem with sizes of lumber, but it will help regardless. Thanks

I absolutely love this storage rack. I am remodeling my shop and think I will go with this one. After viewing dozens on KZfaq, this is my favorite. I noticed that you did this video in 2014, any issues with the rack or anything you would have done different? Thanks for posting and thanks in advance for your reply.

Very good

Great design and crafting as usual. If you're going to really load that thing up, you might think about replacing the sheet rock screws with plain steel ones. Sheet rock screws can break without warning, since they're hardened steel. Or so I've been told.

Very nice job Jon! I bought my lumber racks because I caught them on sale, but I really like this design. Nicely done. :-)

I am late to the game. But this design truly is elegant. I am going to make it.

This is the best DIY lumber rack I have seen, and I have been looking around for a while! Great informative video John - thanks! Looks real solid and like it can really handle a lot of weight. Can you let us know how much weight you think it can handle. I will definitely look at building this one in my garage here in Melbourne, Australia. Cheers.

Owesome

Hey Jon, I'm doing a shop reorganization right now. Do you still like your rack two years later? Anything you'd change? Thanks and keep up the great work!

Jon thanks for the great videos. I see that your gallery is in Red Bank, is that where your shop is as well? Where do you go for your hardwood lumber? Also, where do you get your square-drive wood screws as I have a hard time finding any in smaller lengths at big box stores. I live in Jackson so I'm not far from you. Again, I appreciate the time you put into these videos, they are great.

This seems doable. I am a bit surprised to see these wall mounted with the heavy load it needs to carry. I am planning mine to rest on the floor. I will keep the big uncut boards vertical and small boards remaining from past projects horizontal. Thanks for sharing. Regards,

"Water on a paintbrush" (7:06) works but I switched to cheap toothbrushes, the toothbrush bristles when wet are much more ridged (floss doesn't work).

Nothing like a little glue to make the first pieces slip around while you're trying to nail them in place.

I love your design. I just bought some Baltic Birch and Ipe to start building similar racks. I hope my saw blades survive :-)

Renata was the one so adamant I lookup Woody Hyezmar in the internet. It's got quite a few good plans in there I had to admit.

Dang, that the most beautiful lumber rack I have ever seen. I thought the "arms" were going to be removable at first, I'm glad they aren't. I do worry that the old paint on the interior surfaces will weaken the glue joint, but if you are okay with it, I will be too.

that's a strong wood rack, that should last a life time. nice job. you said the the roller had 60 grit sand paper, is there a finer grit on the other roller to finish up with a smoother finish, or haven't you tried that? if you do, please post it, i'd like to know if it works. cheers !

VERY NICE!! With your blessing I would love to copy your design for this rack. I do not have any IPE wood but I’m sure I could find it locally somewhere with a little research. Keep up the great work, I really like a lot of your projects and I learn quite a bit from your videos/skills. Thank you!!

Nice design. I wonder if the screws are needed? Bet glue would be plenty strong some nails to hold it together while the glue dries

It came up with a suggestion for a video of yours to watch. The log rack from 2011, how's that thing holding up now?

I really like your lumber rack design. I'm planning on building one and need to attach it to a poured concrete foundation wall. I would appreciate a recommended technique to attach the rack to the foundation. Also, my space for the rack is 12 feet long. How many vertical supports would you recommend? Thank you in advance for your advice.

What type of pencil is that? Looks like it show up very well on wood . Thanks Robert

Hello sir, do have you a video that shows your miter saw setup. And how u hv the stop block setup? It’s a pretty rudimentary setup so prob not but thot I’d ask. Thx Again for vids!

Nice rack. Think I'll build one, but first I have to find a nice workshop ;-) Like the new music as well, suits your videos.

Forgive me if I missed it, but what is the total length of the arm, and would you change anything if you made another rack. Great video and I am going to give it a try.

way too nice

I enjoy your videos and like the quality of work. But, for some reason it drives me crazy when you pulse your impact driver when driving screws.

nice job, but how much weight can it hold on one rack?

muchas gracias me sirbio de mucha ayuda tu idea

Although this isn't the first lumber rack on KZfaq, it is certainly one of the nicest! What is the make/model of that sander, and how much do replacement rolls of sandpaper cost for it? I've never seen one of those in a home shop before.

Taper Jig would be of some help on the arm cuts,overall good design

Jon, what kind of screws did you use to put the racks up? I have cinder blocks in my garage so I'm thinking of using tappon screws. What's your thought?

That is one highly engineered lumber rack

Must be nice to have such an abundance of Kreg screws that you can use them to laminate plywood together...

Great design for a lumber rack. That ipe is hard stuff, my bandsaw hates it.

Çok güzel dosttum

I liked

Bagus sekali

When I do not want screws to collide, I just sink then diagnonally one way on one side and diagonally the other way on the other side.

Where did you buy the white pencil and what do you call it?

As one would expect, good workmanship, as always. Worth mentioning tho, an other big leap in the quality of the video editing.

What's the purpose of the blue tape on your pin nailer?

Hi John. I’m half way through building a lumber rack just like yours. I’m curious how long the arms are for supporting the lumber. Thank you sir. God bless.

I have a fair amount of MDF leftover from a project. Can somebody comment if this would work to build the rack out of?

Instead of using plywood, would using pine 1x3's for the whole thing that I have laying around be strong enough for this?

is this a 4 sided bit (screw) you use? is this a standart in USA (or Canada; dont know where you are)?

Jon I am about to mount my racks to the wall and bought the 5" #10 screws. Since I only want to do this once I'm thinking whether I should use lag bolts or not. How has your method worked out under the load? Thanks in advance

чтобы клей ПВА приклеился к поверхности ламинированной фанеры на сначала зачистить фанеру от лакового покрытия !!
