Coriander, or cilantro as we say in these parts, is a wonderful addition to many workshops, I mean dishes. But the like/dislike (or in many cases hate) is genetic and we have no say in the matter. As many readers probably know, the same phenomenon exists for asparagus pee---a percentage of the population can't smell it. Post-prandial asparagus wiz always has the chemical that makes the glorious odor, but some don't have the receptors for it. Marcel Proust would consider them the poorer for it, having said in 1913, "Asparagus transforms my chamber pot into a flask of perfume." That said, I'm going to build these workbench cabinets but we don't have your formply here in the US so I'm going to give it a shot with Formica, at least for the tops. Thanks for the great idea.
@@barberspaddockwoodworking Glad to be of service! I forgot to ask: what are the dimensions of your large and small modules? I speak fluent metric, if need be. Thanks
Total height is about 700mm from the top of the base to the top of the workbench, so the half height is well...half that height, around 350mm, and the smaller ones, 1/3 rd that so around 233 ish mm. If you (or anyone) are interested in the Google Sketch up file, just email me and I'm happy to provide it.
Very well thought out system~! I really like the ability to reconfigure as needs change. I've been bouncing between ideas for my shop cabinetry and miter station, so I think I've now got a direction to go. Thanks for sharing this~!!
I really like this, brother. Sure, it looks simple, but it's totally effective and accessible. I think this is something I'll employ in my shop. Thanks for sharing!
The only thing I would change is screwing in the bench tops from the underside. You could have even made the same "feet" to align the tops into place, then used a locking pin or similar to secure them. That way, if you change the order the tops can be changed with ease too.
That's an interesting idea, I like it. You could make "countertop boards" that have the same 2 cleats on the bottom so that they just snap onto a cabinet so you don't need to screw them all down. Also easily let's you add a "top" to a cabinet if you wanted to close one off to help keep dust out - especially if you decided to stack some cabinets higher to the ceiling.
I agree making it have the cleats is a great idea so that the top is modular as well. If you needed extra stability for the top you could have a bracket that attached from the underside at the braces.
I'm extremely fortunate that when I built the workshop, I was very specific that the floor had to be level and made sure of that to the concrete people. It certainly makes life so much easier.
Right? You won't believe this, but that little desktop CNC is already upgraded to be bigger, so originally it's smaller....But for something so small (and cheap) it's actually quite robust and capable of all sorts of things. I've been approached by the vendor to do a video on it, and I may do that some time, but yes, it's got to be the worlds smallest CNC.
Yes indeed it's Sherwood as well, it's a 12" hybrid saw. I don't have a specific infinity for Sherwood, it's just that it's very difficult to get these types of tools delivered to my local area. Tailgate shipping is VERY expensive for me (around $400-500 sometimes even from the nearest major city). I have found that the vendor that sells Sherwood has reasonable tailgate shipping which has sort of pigeon holed me into that line of tools. Would love to get some Carbatec stuff, but the shipping is off the charts.
@@barberspaddockwoodworking Yeah tell me about the shipping cost, it's crazy. I was recently wanting to get some 2400 x 1200 plywood and looked at the shipping which was $100 for a delivery and the timber yard is only 10 minutes away from me.
L'idée des module est super, mais je vais la reprendre mais je vais essayer d'aller plus loin en ayant des mondules individuel est adapter a chaque outil, un module pour le perçage, une pour le coupage avec de chaqie côté de quoi poser les barres de bois ou de metal
Also just my thoughts on the controversy around pocket hole joinery… I think it’s because some people make furniture with pocket holes and charge similar amounts of money as compared with someone who uses more “superior” joinery like mortise and tennon joints or something. For me I think people should be able to charge whatever customers are willing to pay. But yeah there are some people out there who would claim pocket holes are just as strong as the traditional joinery and I think that is where the controversy starts (but I am hardly an expert)
I think like all joinery systems, each has their place and 'best practice' use. I think the criticism generally comes from treating pocket holes as a universal solution no matter what is being built.
I didn't want to have this pocket hole jig board permanently floating around the shop, so using a couple threaded inserts means I can still put it away in a drawer!
What a brilliant idea, have been looking for inspiration to make a storage system and this is exactly it! Really well put together video and your workmanship speaks for itself, thanks and subscribed 👍🏼
Brilliant design mate! My first comment on my latest video where I made an error with my pocket holes was displeasure directed at them. I don't get it. Similarly, I don't get the equally polarising love/hate dominos get. In both cases the argument seems to be they are both fake joinery because... they are not complicated enough and don't take enough time?! 😅 PS - Nice shirt! 😁 PPS - Corriander can burn in the fires of hell. Fun Fact, it is genetic. There is a chemical in that family of greens and some others which includes celery and brussel sprouts too that if you can taste, is reminiscent of petrol and can be detected in parts per million by your smell. If you can't taste it, these veges taste sweet and like other greens.
I really do like this system. I could see me building this in my shop… but also for my studio/craft room. And I like that it’s modular and easy to move as well as change.
Cool build love the flexibility At the end you stated you were beginning/ intermediate where did you learn all this as a beginner? Do you have a break down in material ie how many sheets of ply etc or did I miss that in the vid Thanks
Thanks! To answer your questions: I've always owned basic tools like any DIYer, but I only started getting more serious during 2020 when I was looking for something to do during the Covid lockdowns. I started watching alot of makers on youtube like Steve Ramsey, Downunder Woodworks, Wood Knight, Neil Pask, Dainer Made, Fixit Fingers etc and kinda caught the woodworking bug. I took the plunge in 2022 to build a workshop and that's what you see here. Yes I still very much consider myself someone who's learning (just with slightly better tools now), but without a doubt youtube has been a big help in accelerating that learning. There are so many talented and educational makers out there where you can learn alot by studying what they do. As for 'break downs', I don't really have one, I feel as these are very specific projects for my shop that don't necessarily translate to everyone, but roughly here we have about 2 sheets of formply and about a dozen or so pine shorts. If you are interested in the dimensions that I use, anyone is welcome to my Google Sketchup file that I used for this. Just send me an email and I'll be happy to send it.
Good question. Answer is, not really. Every type of plywood is going to be made with some sort of glue or formaldehyde during production (they all are). Pretty normal. By the time it gets to the consumer it's required by regulations to be so low as to not even be worth mentioning and let's be honest with Bunnings. If they think a piece of wood could cause a splinter they won't cut it. Same goes for MDF etc etc. Like any material, you don't want to breath it in no matter what it is. Take the right precautions, use PPE and you'll be fine.
Hey Anthony. So good to see another Ausie maker. Liked the Domino warning. Did you use the shiny side of the black formboard or the matt side. I have trouble with glare because of the sheen. Should have flipped it. Regard One Handed Maker- Australia
Hey! I've always admired your work! Regarding the formply, I've not noticed a difference between either side? Especially on the QTR panels I use? I have noticed that a bit of wax really dulls any shine and makes it basically matt finish. I noticed that when building the shelves and desks in previous builds. I should take a closer look next time, but I'll be honest it's the first I'm hearing that there might be two different surfaces?
Great video. Love the project. I laugh about the Ryobi comment. They work fine. They are what I started with. But I upgraded to Dewalt. BUT… I think it’s more about power to me. I know I can get the job done with my Ryobi. But my wrists are super weak and a more powerful drill that doesn’t require me to rely on my wrist so much is the only reason I switched. PLUS… a great deal on some hand me down Dewalt drills. But… having those cheaper Ryobi tools that obviously are serving you will… allows you to have the money to buy the more expensive tool such as the Domino. Pocket holes are the same for me. I love them. They make things easier. But I lack the wrist strength to enjoy the process. I have a Domino. It’s amazing. If I had a Kreg Foreman I would use pocket holes more on some things. As you did for the stretchers on the bigger bases. But I opt for dominos
Nothing wrong with Ryobi, if it does the job, it does the job. Granted I'm starting to outgrow some of their basic tools so it's unlikely I'll expand on ones I have, but for things like drills, impact drivers etc, ain't nothing wrong with them.
Do you have really level floors or did you think about incorporating some type of leveling feet across the cabinet span? Love this idea and makes the cabinets easy to take with you if you move shops.
Very level floors, it was a strict requirement when I had the workshop built for the concrete contractor and they came through. It's a point I probably should have touched on in the video.
It's technically 'dimensional' yes, but like all good box store stuff, it can have some little twists, or bends in it. Milling it just a little means I know it'll be dead flat and straight.
As for pocket screws I will be building a very expensive unique kitchen cabinet build the face frames and carcasses will be assembled with pocket screws. As for a Domino it’s somewhere after a track saw (the next major tool). I jealous of your what appears to be a 12” table saw not readily available here in the USA
Hi enjoying your videos, just wanted to ask if you have had any success with laminating formply faces together with and glues? May not be possible with the resin surface thanks
Using standard wood glues is impossible, it simply won't bond. Usually if I'm need to resort to gluing two together I'd just run a light pass through the planner to remove the resin layer. If however you were for example trying to glue two together for a workbench surface, I'd consider construction adhesives to glue panels together.
I have had some success laminating formply using Titebond Melamine glue. Just needs a fair bit of glue and I rough sand it first with my "Ryobi lol" random orbital using 60 or 80 grit. Try it first on some off cuts to see if you are happy before using it on a project.
