Hey there!
Do you hoard collect scrap wood? I find so many uses for scrap wood that I just can’t part with it. At least if I can’t make anything from it I can use it for firewood, right?
Although I love scrap wood I don’t like the mess and space it takes up in my garage. In an effort to clean and organize the garage I came up with these easy to make wood holders. 
What I love about these wood holders is that it got most of my wood off of the ground. And would you believe I made them from scrap wood :-P.
In this post I will show you how to make your own garage wood holders just like these. So start looking through that scrap wood pile or head to the hardware store…your garage it about to get cleaner.
Before getting started make sure you have the proper safety gear to complete this project.

These cuts are for a total of 5 holders.

Here is how the pile of scrap wood started.
STEPS FOR GARAGE WOOD HOLDER
Step 1) After the cuts were made I drilled and screwed 3 1/2 inches screws from the back of the supports into the edge of the bottom piece. 
Step 2) Using a stud finder, locate the studs to where you will attach the holders. Most studs are located 16 inches apart. 
Using the laser level to assist with alignment I attached the holders to the studs with 3 1/2 inches screws.
Step 3) Attach the arms to the bottom pieces using 2 1/2 inch screws.
We attached three holders 32 inches apart for the longer wood pieces and 16 inches apart for the shorter pieces. 
I am delighted the wood got off of the floor and with how it cleaned up the area.
*I felt that the holders held the wood very well, however if you feel there isn’t enough support then add some metal brackets for extra support.
I hope this post has helped you with an easy way to store and organize your wood. Now I just need to figure out how to store my much larger and smaller wood pieces.
