Nice job to Kent Parker on his lumber rack. I tried doing a similar thing in my garage shop, but the walls are not true and the pipes were not level after I attached the 2x4's to the wall (all that careful layout down the drain!).
I found this stuff called Unistrut that works perfect. A little expensive, but it works great and it is BOMB proof! There is a "u" channel that gets bolted to the wall, and then the brackets get bolted to it. A clever spring on the nut that rides in the channel makes it a breeze to level the brackets. I shimmed a couple of the brackets to get them dead level side to side and front to back.
The channel come in 10' lengths and the brackets come in sizes 8" to 24". They also have brackets that are just square tubing if distance between shelves is a concern.
Anyway, just thought I would share.
Now, if I could only get some time out there to use the wood...
