In this episode, we’re diving into a practical project that can make a big difference in organizing your workspace: easy-to-build shelving suitable for your garage, barn, or outbuildings. Using basic materials—2x3" lumber and 4x8' sheets of plywood—this sturdy and affordable shelving setup requires minimal cuts and produces little waste, resulting in a highly efficient solution.

We’ll go through the construction process, sharing tips on modifying this system to fit your unique space and needs. With our barn currently full and a big project on the horizon (like building an egg mobile!), we need to clear up floor space. Today, you’ll hear how we’re tackling our own shelving needs and get ideas to kickstart your own.

If you’re thinking about building custom shelving for your space, this episode will cover everything from materials to estimated costs, so you can compare with other shelving options.

For our Patreon supporters, we’ve got a behind-the-scenes video tour coming your way, showing our shelving unit in action. We’ll also be building a special unit designed to house multiple 27-gallon HDX Storage Totes from Home Depot—perfect for anyone looking for accessible, unstacked storage.
