I like it, what glue?
What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

Gorilla wood glue. I will see how well it holds up.

Finding I am hoarding a lot of steel and aluminum that I will never use. So time to clean it all up, store what I do see me needing and scrapping the rest. Canadian version of Harbor Freight has steel in stock for when I do need it in the 3.75 a foot range.
Rather have the floor space for a pressure washer and hydraulic press in that corner so I am halfway into my steel rack build.

Actually, higher temps accelerate the chemical reaction that deteriorates batteries. Cool temps seem to kill batteries because batteries and their related systems are more sluggish in the cold or batteries are often unused/under maintained over winter.
From Kobalt's manual for the 56v battery:
Storage tips:
• Make sure the battery is fully charged and that the charger is disconnected before storing.
• Do not store the battery in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a furnace. The battery life will be shortened.
• If the battery will not be used for 3 months or more, please store the battery in a room temperature
environment. Please fully charge before storage.

Might be too late, but if you stood up the tin snips you'd get more space...
kinda like what these would offer

Seems like that would take up too much valuable flat surface area.

I think he meant in a drawer instead of using dividers between laid flat tin snips as shown in this post:https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8172481&postcount=1799
Yes? No?
^ Not to go OT with battery discussion, but what I found interesting is that most high end battery chargers or solar controllers take temperature into account when charging. Batteries have different capacities at different temps, so trying to charge a battery that is at 32 degrees is different then a battery at 132 degrees.

I know that it takes up lots of room, but I like the look and it still keeps the drawer more organized.

Trust me lots of updates. Lots of tools. I hate the idea of spending money on labour and much rather spend the money on tools and time on learning new skills.
I have a thread on my build.

This is incredible. I just joined so I could look at pics, as I am also in the planning stages of trying to take control over my shed, garage and basement.
I started at the end, and worked backwards. I'm back as far as page 50 so far, and it's taken me several days to get this far!
Besides the hundreds of great physical ideas shown here, one of the more powerful pieces of advice I read here (or maybe in another thread) is that nothing for working in the yard belongs in the garage (put it into the shed). I think I'll extend that logic to put stuff for the house into the basement.
I'll post pics as I start making progress.

So I think it was yesterday, I went out to the shop to get something and noticed a piece of wire shelving had thundered in again. A couple months ago the shelving had popped out of the rear supports and the whole thing had fallen off the wall. I went back to home depot tand found some, what I thought were better wall brackets. Well this time the new wall brackets broke. Maybe there might be a little bit of weight on the brackets but this is rediculous.
We will be fixing this once and for all.

^^^ I had that happening all over my house with those plastic clips, searched and found metal one's and have been replacing the entire house worth a set at a time. I have no idea who though making them out of plastic that would have constant stress on them was a good idea, but you can not even find them in metal at any store, I had to order them online, and it took a good bit of searching.

Those plastic clips are garbage, you should use the standards and the locking shelf brackets, those will support a lot of weight.

This is really cool.
I don't want to be "that guy" but since kids are involved, I'll comment on the side of caution.
Are you sure those screws have enough engagement with the pipe flange countersink holes? It appears from the pic like you need something with a larger head to get better engagement or you'll have the thinnest part of the head engaging the thinnest part of the countersink and not much real metal doing any holding.
I don't mean to take away anything from your project as it is awesome.
i bet you are fun at parties

I have installed the wire shelving and use the metal cable clamps. Only requires 1 screw and have experienced no failures.
using these from below, weight rest on screw-https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/keystone-electronics/8140/36-8140-ND/303983

seconded using the hanging bar and verticals in the studs. hanging then makes leveling many linear feet easy, anchoring the verticals in the studs means you can park quikcrete on them if you want. doing the clips and knee braces is just asking for failures.

Excellent idea, and just in time for some recycled wire shelving in the garage. I used single-screw small conduit clamps at the prior home, and bent them. Too much weight?

Having just moved to a new place with much less garage space and storage than I'm accustomed to, I had no choice but to go up.
Every Yamaha personal watercraft dealer has piles of theses steel shipping frames that they'll beg you to haul away. Rough size is 45"x 144".
The brackets are cut from the 'sides' of the crate. It's all free scrounge except the bolts, paint, and the $24 piece of 6"x8" grid hog fence from Tractor Supply. (50"x16')
Cat sold separately.
