How to create a garage pulley system that may or may not be useful...

Pulley system created with hardware store parts. DIY. That's Do It Yourself.

Need a place to store larger items in the garage? Bored with using old fashioned ladders? This could be for you...

ROPE I USED: amzn.to/2EHBbWR
EYE BOLT: amzn.to/2CzWpQq

UPDATE OCT 2015.
I ended up with 10 pulleys total. I put numbers (3" stickers) on the ceiling beside the eye bolt, and another number down by the release area... that way I wouldn't get mixed up which one I needed to release with the spaghetti of rope...

    It was really refreshing to see your style of video. So many youtubers these days use the same techniques and I'm glad I got to see your unique take and idea as well!

    Nice system and nice video. I recently had a 100' spool of air hose I needed to hoist out of the way like this. When I priced all the rope and hardware, I found that one of those commercial bicycle hoists was a cheaper solution. I used the bike hoist and found that it came with a very effective rope locking mechanism that operates well and holds the load. I think I'd have had to fabricate that myself as I don't know where else I could have got one. Thanks for sharing.

    Best video how-to I've seen in a long time. No fluff, just clear concise 'see it, do it'. Great for learners like me who have to see it first then can do it. Hope you are sponsored or soon will be.
  • That's WAY too simple, and costs a fraction of ceiling mounts - fantastic!! I was looking at the various ceiling lift options, but the complexity of mapping out studs to mount the pulleys and hardware etc... Then, of course, your pal Murphy - when he kicks in from ceiling height - it's all over for the box! Now all I need to do is carve out some wall space.

    I really like the way you edited this video together. Thanks.

    Crisp! Great video all the way around!
  • Good stuff! I did something similar to store my pool vacuum hose, I hoist it up with pulleys in my small 8" x 10" shed. It's completely out of the way and does not take storage space on walls.
  • How could I not like a video that made that little cutie so happy, lol. Good, simple video.

    Wow man awesome video. Makes me want to build something epic like that for my future kids that aren’t here yet.

    First artistic how-to video I've seen (and I've seen LOTS). Nice! And fun too. A bit more detail on how the ropes and pulleys were rigged would be helpful.
