hey guys how's it going welcome to another Paul's hardware garage worklog I'm very excited about today's video but first I need to say a huge and massive thank you to all of you guys out there who have subscribed to my channel whether you're a longtime subscriber or a recent subscriber and just yesterday hit 200 200 K 200 thousand subscribers I'm amazingly humbled and thankful and all that stuff so thanks you guys for subscribing and thanks for liking the videos and all that good stuff it is your feedback that sustains me and drives me to make more videos but speaking of which I have been sort of proceeding with the garage project for quite some time now today I'm very excited about what I'm actually going to be trying to accomplish and just up front there's a good chance this video is gonna be split into two parts because I have a pretty good amount of stuff to do now I can see what I'm doing maybe I'll make the camera less shaky okay so here's my work area and what's next for this is gonna be some shelves I'm also gonna put some sound dampening at least a row of saying sound dampening about at the same level as the microphones in the back so that's probably gonna go just under the shelves and maybe above it and then I'm also gonna paint back here and do some stuff like covering up the wall sockets and that kind of thing but that's not what I'm working on today no I have to do another order of operations in the order of it oh my gosh look how responsible I'm being this is an Acer predator x34 I've actually taken this out of the box already I've actually shot some b-roll with it and it's sitting over there neglected and unused right right there I should be playing Starcraft legacy of the void on it or maybe some fallout 4 but I'm not I'm trying to be responsible and move on with the project that I told myself I was gonna do I'm working on this area over here today perhaps less glamorous but very required this is all just storage stuff I've actually massively cleaned up this this area here as of yesterday so here's what I'm doing today first off where this little shelf is I'm gonna make a cabinet a stand-up cabinet about eight foot tall and it's going to open up and that's gonna hold like a lot of my camera gear and like production equipment and that kind of thing so that's going to take that's gonna be about three foot wide right there and then for the rest of this wall space over here which isn't doing a whole lot right now I'm going to be putting in these shelves I have pretty good idea to use shelf standards and to put the shelves in I told chest should fitting right below it I'm gonna do a little bit of pegboard up here and then this pretty cool idea for shelves and stuff that I found online and I'll post the link to where I got the idea in the video description anyway let's go to Home Depot okay Home Depot wood plywood even all that plywood that's a lot of it sorry I can't keep them focus here look I got a pocket hole jig some trimmer line need some new trimmer line hardware for the doors and everything I got some pegboard mixed-up plywood gotta get some plywood made out of ripped gonna rip some thyroid I can answer that age-old question of how much plywood can you fit into a 2-door Honda Accord that much about that much Hey look at my haul of course all that plywood basically this is five total pieces of 4 foot by 8 foot plywood that's cut into strips so I had them cut into foot and a half wide strips that way and then these are just the remainders that I'm also gonna be using for some pieces these are very thin strips I had them cut into about three and a half inch long strips so those are what's gonna be mounted to the wall over there and then to those I mount these guys which are called shelf standards and then they have all those these little things that pop into them so that makes it kind of modular and you can move the shelves around and stuff I'm only gonna get that started for today really my main focus here is that cabinet so the foot and a half pieces are gonna be the two side this side so it's gonna be about a foot and a half deep coming up from the wall over there and then it's gonna be about three feet wide with foot and a half wide closing doors opening and closing doors and now I'm at the like what's next what should I do next point I guess the answer is I should throw the ball for nori right okay now I hit her in the nose we usually don't play ball in the garage so out here behind the garage I have set up my my old table the one right there that's like it it's like 15 or 20 years old I've had that for so long but I'm still alive and kicking basically I need to I need to cut three more of those to that with I need to cut three shelves in one top piece that are also that width it's tough for the top piece which is a little bit lighter these two pieces that have birch on the front so I'm gonna have be the actual doors I'm also gonna maybe hopefully router the router the size of those and put a little beveled edge on the inside do a bit of sanding I want to get everything cut out here I also need to cut the shelves of course and I need to notch the two side pieces in the bottom where they go up against this at the garage door I'm hopefully going to get everything cut out here and set up because it's already starting to Sunbury start to go down and then I can sort of just assemble everything inside alright guys it is Sunday now and I need to wrap this video up because I keep I keep getting hounded by the thought of I have not posted a video yet this week ah so this one's going to go up it is going to be a two-parter so as you can see I'm still in process of the work here just to recap on Fridays when I started this video and I got a pretty good amount of work done I did I did my shopping and I did a bunch of wood cutting cutting down to size and sanding and that kind of thing yesterday was Saturday and I was distracted pretty significantly because I've decided to purchase a new car or at least a new to me car and that that kind of took away from some of the time but I did get in here yesterday and I started to assemble this whole thing as you probably saw in the time-lapse so it's really big it's really tall these two shelves are installed roof there at the top of it is is is connected up there with with nails going all along edges these are connected with nails on the sides as well as along the back on the support there the bottom piece is still just sitting there in place I haven't connected that or connected up either side which is why it's still bowing out a little bit at the bottom because both of these side pieces had some pretty significant Belling going on with them my technique for assembling this thing was a to not plan ahead as much as I should have so there are certain things I would have liked to have done like there's there's more shelves than what's what's going on in here that I'm planning to install and I should have started out with those in mind so I could have done some pre drilling stuff on the sides and whatnot but I you know I you got to push forward sometimes so I had to push forward so we're starting with three shelves and a roof this bottom one's going to get connected mounted up and then I also built this and with a specific goal in mind which is that I'm building it directly under the wall but some you notice these three by two cross beams that are supporting it these are illustrated at the stud that's back there but if I ever did want to remove this entire thing and perhaps shift it down another wall or move it over to the other side of the garage or anything I should in theory be able to remove four screws the four that are here the four there and the beam there and then the four there and the beam up there and this whole thing should be able to come off of the wall and be able to shift around and move in whatever here's a look at one of the doors just kind of propped in place the doors are also plywood but they're birch plywood which costs just a few bucks more and has a nicer finish on it and this one I went to the trouble of sanding and also I use my router to go right along the edge here sorry I'm using autofocus so I don't know how well focused this is also of these shelves are almost almost completely leveled but coming up very soon on Paul's next garage work log I'm gonna clear all this stuff out I'm going to paint this wall I need and gonna get some more gray paint I might go a little bit lighter but it's gonna be mostly the same color now paint that whole lot I'm actually gonna paint the entire frame of this that same color at the same time I'm also going to do some caulk and seal up around the edges in the back in the front I know that may make it hard to pull the thing off the wall later but I got a seal that up if I want dusts to get not get in there at least as little dust as possible so I'm gonna paint this whole front thing and then they these front doors that are birch I'm and leave the natural wood finish so sticking with the kind of gray and wood and black theme I guess which I kind of like matches pretty well so let's have a lot of work to do I'm gonna be kicking into high gear today or maybe later today and tomorrow and working more on this so stay tuned I really have another garage work log coming up very very soon thanks for watching this video guys again thanks for bearing with me as well through all of these transitional times as I said I have going on as I work on the garage and update things I know it's gonna be awesome once I get it all finished or at least as finished as it's gonna be for me to move on to the next stage I don't forget to the like button if you
