I just purchased a house that has a garage completely empty...not a
shelf or bench in site...(unlike my last home)...Im headed for some
woodworking...my main project will be putting some shelves up....the
garage is completely drywall..so Im curious how to attach the wooden
2x4's to the drywall so the shevles will be secure and
steady?....thanks from a new woodworker in training.

Assuming you're in the USA, that drywall is almost certainly attached
to vertical 2x4 wood studs on 16" or possibly 24" centers.

Buy a studfinder for $10 and mark the locations of the studs on the
areas where you want your shelves.

Screw your shelf supports to those with lag bolts. Be sure to drill
correct pilot holes in the supports for the screws you're using.
