Thank you very much for the video and the detailed plan. It definitely saves a lot of time and thinking while working on the project. I will be working on making this for my garage where I also need to move a lot of stuff out of the way.
LMAO during your going through the "shelf of doom" I was reminded of someone I know. You Sir are what my Wife calls a hoarder, the hoarder is me. Great comedy, and good stuff on the build. I like someone who makes some mistakes, those perfect guys scare me. I'm in the midst of the same exact project, wish me luck.
Your positive attitude is inspiring. It's encouraging that even someone with your years of experience and success can still make a minor error like forgetting to drill the peg holes before assembling the box.
I always enjoy a video that makes me laugh, and cleaning the shelves - I believe we have all done that, including inhaling quite a bit of dust. I use those small bags for "to go bags", when I just need to take a couple of tools to help someone - they work well for that.
I work in a fabrication shop. We have dozens of those bags. We scatter them around to act as supplemental dust storage and temporary spider nests. Some of them we keep in case we might need them later - whenever that is.
OMG. I can so relate to when you were cleaning off the shelf. LMAO The paint tray is classic and EXACTLY what I do, but when you got to the super secret trick for tubes of silicone, ........ I absolutely lost it! Because i do that also!
Thanks a lot for your video. I've watched a ton, and your video is exactly what I'm looking for. Simple and not a lot of woodworking skills needed. Awesome!!!
I actually throw away most all of them there tool bags. I’ve saved 1 or 2 for small tool/parts transport goin to my daughter’s house to fix or install. I’ve always wondered why most all RU-vid woodworkers buy their door/drawer pulls for shop projects. My outfeed table is 4’x8’ with 6, 24” wide drawers. I made my own pulls from scrap maple, made them 18” wide. They look great and work great and my friends always comment on them. Maybe an idea for a future video? 😂. Keep on making sawdust!
You're a braver man than me, throwing things out like that. If hoarding stuff and then finding it untouched/unopened years later was an Olympic event, I'd be bringing home the gold. The thing is I keep that stuff and don't throw it away because I know I might need it for a future project. It happened once. About 17 years ago. I know it will happen again. Any time. By the way, nice cabinets. Hoard stuff and hide it in cabinets so no one can ask, "Why have you still got that?"
Watching you clean off that shelf reminded me of all the tricks I use in my storage corner. "What is this and why is it in the garage?" So very true. As for the tool bags: I had a cat that used to sleep in one of them. I had to toss it since it smelled like a cat. I thought about filling one with random tools and tossing in my truck, but I was afraid someone might try to steal my DeWalt bag and with it my collection of mismatched screwdrivers. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more videos. Subscribe!
I use license plates as heat shields for copper plumbing. It helps to hold a no-scorch blanket. They just kinda drape and are hard to hold anywhere. I just tape them to a plate and wedge it between drywall and copper pipes.
"Trailer Hitch. . . Will I ever use it? I should keep it" It's like I'm listening to myself talk. Just last weekend, I found chalk line refill. I haven't chalk lined anything in at least 15 years. . . But I kept it!!!
Great video mate!!!! Love the cleanup!! Trying not to hoard everything is a huge challenge!! I've thrown out something that I had kept for years only to need it about 2 days later!!!! 😂 Fortunately, it's the exception and not a regular occurrence.
Love your videos! So helpful and informative. Thank you for going into the details of building the cabinets and mounting them. Recently went through my garage. Hate the process, love the end result! You are great in this video. Love it, great humor 😄. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃 🥰😍
I too go through stuff every once in a while (not frequently enough) and wonder "what was I thinking - holding on to this?". I have a bunch of the DeWalt bags and have the smaller ones tucked away for carrying job specific tools off site. I have a couple of the larger ones that I've made specific purpose, one for plumbing tools and another for electrical tools. They come in handy to grab when I'm doing a project of that sort. Like someone else, I use the totes for paint supplies, one for drywall, one for tiling, etc. - Chris
The shelf cleaning made me laugh so hard, then I got sad because I need to do the same thing! Quick question, how did you make straight edge that you use with your circular saw to cut the plywood?
As always very interesting very clear very charming You’re brilliant and make people think why shouldn’t I succeed with that stuff and that’s why I love watching your videos. Thanks for the free plans also it helps a lot to succeed in confidence 😉. Last but not least I’m glad to see you more in good shape I was worried about your last videos where you seemed to be very tired. 🤗from southwest of France
Oh hun, you made me laugh so hard! I too save stuff for "just in case" and then wind up throwing it out. I have found that doing a yearly clean out has helped greatly with the hoarding. All of my painting supplies went into a snap-lid tote. And then there are my parts drawers. Screws separated by size. Nuts, bolts and etc. My family knows to return tools exactly where they got it from or face my wrath. As I am a bit older than you I had to face the hoarding/stockpiling early when I moved. Man that was a major lesson in not keeping everything! Cabinets look good but my concern is that since you didn't make them to the ceiling that you are going to create another stacking/junk pile on top of the cabinet. Thanks for keeping it real and not editing out the oops with the holes!
what did you do with the cabinet support panel you put in initially? did you take that off after installing the cabinets? wondering to know if we need any support below the cabinets to hold the weight
Very well done! I just watched a video on making a simple wall cabinet. Only problem was it was done with about $10,000 worth of those green tools. Great if you have them but completely inaccessible for most garage woodworkers.
At the time lap 15:42, you are trying to open the right side window of the cabinet....and I can see that it touches the edge of the window of the other cabinet not letting it to fully open. I wonder how you can open the inside windows of the cabinets when they are closely fitted like this?????🙃🙃
If you think you are disorganised, you should see my tool shed. Got stuff in there going back to when I was forty something. Now am seventy something. But, am planning on cleaning em out sometime in the near future. That voice in my head says, "Yeh, right."
Nice cabinets. The video was alright but you can do better, a little less drama. It made me fast coward through the clean out the f the corner. I’m looking forward to watching more from f your videos.
