I clicked, thinking.... I don't need another one of these, but I like this guy's videos... and dang it, I think I'm going to replace the one I already built with this style.. and closer to the door! You could sell ice to Eskimos!
At first I was like aw man he doesn't need all those little cross dividers, but in the end the fit of those bins was so satisfying. You right ...you were right
Perfectionist by any chance? Love your videos and ideas. Thanks for sharing. Whenever I’m a bit bored I just go out in my shop and always come up with something I can improve. Your shop greatness logo reminds of Vince Lombardi’s saying of we will strive for perfection knowing full well we will never achieve perfection but we just might catch greatness in the process.
Yes, I learned the hard way it melts with heat. Hot glue doesn't work on it. I made some custom inserts for my makita mbox drill + bits using scrap pieces (creality cr10s 3d printer came with this foam packaged) that weren't thick enough to fill the bottom. Hot glue to stick it together was a pain.
OK, I'll ask. Once you build the partitions section, why do you need the little plastic trays? Its not like its a box of screws that you might want to lift out. It's driver bits, that you need one of.
If you're trying to get hotglue to release (and peel off the excess) spray isopropyl rubbing alcohol on it. The hot glue will then easily release from just about anything.
Thanks absolutely craicin, your like an artist at work there, i love to be able to put my hand on things , be organised and clean looking. Have just finished a complete overhaul of benches in my workshop so storage is next on the list. Cheers for the very inspiring video tutorial.
Nice solution! One tip for extra speed: Mark the back of the impact driver with Green for T25, Red for Philips 2, Blue for Pozidrive 2 etc (same color scheme as Bahcos great ERGO line of screwdrivers). Having dedicated impact driver for one impact bit saves huge amout of time.
Alternatively you could get all your screws with T20 heads. Only if your using huge screws switch to T25 or T30 Anything that doesn't fit a T20 is probably too small for an impact driver and will likely damage something.
"posidrive" I'm guessing not american/canadian? First time I encountered posi is on my British car. Phillips just don't quite work properly in them, and luckily I had picked up some posi bits in a set when I was over in England. Not at all common here in the US. And torx are mostly on deck screws (and cars). Phillips is, unfortunately, the defacto standard. I try to get Robertson (square) or torx as much as I can.
@@LiqdPT Posi drive is also dominant in Italy and that means every pair of alpine skis from Europe uses posidrive for the binding adjustments. All the big companies are in Italy or nearby. Fun stuff :)
@@LiqdPT From Sweden, pozidrive is quite common here. Better than Philips, less likely to cam out. Worse than torx. IKEA is by the way usually using something exactly in the middle of Philips and Pozidrive...
“Oh my God, I need that,” is how we end up buying stuff every single time we go into a hardware store. Fantastic video as always. The sound effects for the pop ups was especially snappy and fun. When it comes to tough driver bits, I have Bosch, DeWalt, and others but I found the longer double length Makita ones on discount at a store that had a big island filled with them. 88 cents for sets of two. They’re pretty tough and the length is a nice medium. Anything on sale is my favorite no matter the brand.
Take out all the bits from the "set" organizer, make sure you have one of everything in there with your nut drivers. Then when you need to use driver grab that and you'll never have to make a second trip. Also buy a "security bit" set for the weird stuff. On the one that doesn't fit well, cut a slit the rest of the way through that pipe, heat it up with a heat gun and spread it out a little and it will fit.
That's awesome, I planned on doing something similar for my air tools. I can pick up the female ends for my air tools and attach them to some plywood and mount it the same way you did.
only thing i would do in addition would be to use the labeler to print if its a T-25 for ex and past it to that box on its lip for faster finding of the bit. i know it says it on the bit itself but itll be more aesthetically pleasing to see it from afar.
Really like the idea of stealing the bins for drawers. I've been looking at ways to organize my bits in my toolbox and was about ready to 3dprint some bins but that is way better. Still may print something for my drill bits to save space but really like this for my driver bits and nut drivers. Also, really like how often you use super glue. I've normally got larger bottles for my reef tank hobby and never think to use it for little wood projects like this.
Some great ideas Travis. Hopefully, after almost a year delay with plans approval and city hall politics, I should be able to finally get my permit and start building my shop next week. All I can do is hope and pray the city doesn't come up with some other BS before issuing my permits.
Nice project Travis, my inner engineer loves the idea of the Kaizen foam, but practically I struggle with getting more in a drawer without it. The one thing I learned for sure from this video.... I don't have nearly enough drills/drivers.
Interesting to see a wood workers approach vs. a metal worker. I fall more into the category of metal worker. I would have cut the PVC notches with an angle grinder rather than a table saw for two reasons. First, table saws make me nervous with cuts like that. Second, I run a grinder a lot and am very comfortable with them. You can really sneak up on a cut with a grinder and fine tune it easy.
This would have been a great project to incorporate Alexandre Chappell's 3d printed organizing solution. I've been printing (admittedly for weeks), but it's a great solution!
Great job, really enjoyed the easy solutions. I noticed on another video you use a benchtop jointer and wanted to ask what you thought of it? Do you feel its worth it or just save up for a full size jointer? Thanks!
I'd love to see you incorporate more 3d printing, it's one of the things that drew me to this channel aside from the awesome shop cabinets you build...
Nice video. Do you pull those trays out to get your bits? Seems odd you made bins to hold your bins. Could just drop your bits in the wood department you made. But good video as always
Getting a not found when using the link to shop-nation dog in the description. Like the index isn’t there or... you’re moving it or something. On iOS mobile. Was checking the site to see if the drill guide hanging on the wall is from you. Every camera shot in those video keeps it just it of frame. Hehe
MY first priority with drill drivers is CHARGING station(s) for all those batteries. Close and Handy ... Yup. Gotta have it almost first. Always wanna be sure the battery is fully charged and ready. Never seems to be enough plugins where I need them... Grrrr.
"square drive " .. aka Robertson.. Canadian invention .. Henry Ford wanted it knowing it was the best ... didnt want to pay for it . not super popular in the states #1 here in maple syrup land
What kind of 4" PVC pipe did you use? I did something similar, with pipe I found when I moved into my house but this looks thicker and may be a better idea.
love the production of the video and some of your storage solutions but there has to be a better way to store those milwaukee bits! seems like a lot of wasted space.
A simple shelf with slots the size of the handgrip area of the drills works just as well, and a lot less time etc to build. Just hang the drills upside down.
I'm surprised there was no 3D printing involved. I saw the video thumbnail and immediately thought there was going to be some. Good idea though for people that don't have a 3D printer.
Just the kind of project I need to commit to...organizing my drills/drivers~! Nicely done. Since you're a 3-D printer enthusiast, there's a cool design for storing drill batteries called "stealth mounts". I found them on Thingiverse, but the .STLs are limited to certain battery types. Would love some for my Bosch 20v series, but I guess I'll have to learn how to model them. Thanks for the video~!
