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.

As the other posts say, attach to the studs if possible. In cases
where there is no stud, such as the end of a shelf beteen studs, use
an EZ anchor. These anchors screw into the drywall with either a #2
or#3 phillips tip.Hardware stores carry them. They are made in a
variety of materials, lead, nylon. Use the nylon for your use.Buy
appropiate screws for the anchor.
