In this episode, we’re diving into a practical project that can make a big difference in organizing your workspace: easy-to-build shelving suitable for your garage, barn, or outbuildings. Using basic materials—2x3" lumber and 4x8' sheets of plywood—this sturdy and affordable shelving setup requires minimal cuts and produces little waste, resulting in a highly efficient solution.
We’ll go through the construction process, sharing tips on modifying this system to fit your unique space and needs. With our barn currently full and a big project on the horizon (like building an egg mobile!), we need to clear up floor space. Today, you’ll hear how we’re tackling our own shelving needs and get ideas to kickstart your own.
If you’re thinking about building custom shelving for your space, this episode will cover everything from materials to estimated costs, so you can compare with other shelving options.
For our Patreon supporters, we’ve got a behind-the-scenes video tour coming your way, showing our shelving unit in action. We’ll also be building a special unit designed to house multiple 27-gallon HDX Storage Totes from Home Depot—perfect for anyone looking for accessible, unstacked storage.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
