Get your plans here: kingsfinewoodworking.com/products/lumber-and-storage-rack?_pos=2&_psq=lumber&_psid=472880d94&_ss=e&_v=1.0Is your shop floor looking like a game of pickup sticks? 🪵
If you are tripping over offcuts or leaning expensive hardwoods against the wall (praying they don't warp), this video is for you. Today, I am showing you how to build an absolute TANK of a lumber rack that maximizes your vertical storage, keeps your wood perfectly flat, and costs a fraction of what a store-bought unit would run you.
Whether you have a tiny garage shop or a dedicated 2-car space, this rack is fully customizable to fit your ceiling height and lumber quantity.
⬇️ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS BUILD:
📐 The exact cut list for the vertical supports and horizontal arms.
🔩 My favorite joinery method for supporting heavy hardwood without racking.
🛠️ The best (and cheapest) materials to use so this rack doesn't sag over time.
📏 How to space your arms to fit everything from skinny trim pieces to massive 8/4 slabs.
