a man is working on the ceiling in his garage with text overlay that reads how to make a super strong storage rack

I've been tripping over a pile of lumber on the garage floor for a while now, and I decided it was time to change that - so I built a super strong lumber storage rack to hang on the wall.

The slate is blank no more! Progress has been slow, but things are shaping up. As every little piece falls into place, the shop takes one small step towards finally being functional again. Small steps, but noticeable. Yes. Here's what I accomplished last weekend - Clamp-O-Rama! For the first time ever, my clamps (of which you can never have too many) are actually making me happy. They used to be a jumbled mess that made me crazy if I even looked at them, but no more. The clamps on the lower…
