Modular Drill Storage & Charging Station - FREE FILES! - Small Shop Series 

Justin, You are one of the best most well spoken woodworkers on RU-vid, the success is well deserved. Not to mention FREE plans! 1,000,000 subscribers here you come!

Dude can use a different drill for each hole in a cribbage board.

Congrats on the 10k. With the content you put out, I'm surprised that it's not a lot more than that. I need to build another tool/battery rack and this gave me a couple of ideas. Wish I could put a picture here to show the crammed mess that mine currently is. I hang my DeWalt tools by the handle (so they're evenly spaced) and all are doubled, if not tripled in the slots. Same with the batteries, I have most of them double stacked and 2 deep. I also have some on top of the cabinet and probably a dozen tools that are just laying on the bench below because there's no room. Yes, I've been told that I have more than a space problem. - Chris

I really like this organization! I have a similar plastic battery mount but i found a local guy that 3D printed them ($15 for 5). I had him make some that don't click in, they aren't held as secure but they don't need to be and it makes getting them on and off way easier!

Always looking forward to your videos. I like the way you go through your thought process and it provides a lot of ideas on how it can be set up and what works in various conditions. Wishing I had a CNC now so I can do something similar.

It's great how you're thinking out loud and showing your rough templates. Feels like the woodworking version of Adam Savage's Tested. Also, is it just me, or do people say you give Joe Rogan vibes?

Great video love this idea have one kinda similar it’s a great idea great content. Congratulations on hitting 10,000 followers keep up the amazing work

I always build tool holders out of old wood and use it for a while which gives me time to see changes needed to me made with looking at space, location of holder, convenience, accessibility, space saving, most commonly used and removal space of the tool and other tools that need to be lifted up and out of holders.when Im finished using and analysing over time I give it another few weeks use which gives time for additional thoughts I notice later. Eventually I save money to buy new wood to make tool holders suitable to my needs. I only have a shed for tools and making things in and on a low income and not experienced in woodworking and retired, it pays to use time management as I go. You gave very good ideas on holders and needs. Great job

I'm a woodworker who worked at a University for 40 years. I have been both a student and a teacher so I wanted to say thank you for you excellent tutorials.

Love the video. Weird question, what are those plastic bins you have overhead to the right in the opening shot? Thanks!

Every time I watch one of your videos, I have rebuild part of my wall lol Very nice and well done Thanks for the free measurements, they will go to good use

Woodworkers build cubbies in their shops unlike any place else in their lives.

Gotta get me one of them fancy CNC or Laser do-hickies! Nice ideas, thanks.

Nice explanations and well thought out materials. One thing what would it look like if the holders were made a bit wider so the batteries sit alongside the drill etc.

Great video. Looking forward to more amazing content.

Clever but simple, good video mate, very useful

Great series. Now I need to get off of youtube and put the ideas into action!

Congrats on hitting the first milestone. Great vid

Suggestion - I have Dewalt, Ryobi, Milwaukee and Craftsman power tools. I only use 20v Dewalt batteries for all if them. I purchased adapters changing to use the Dewalt batteries. It saves time when changing from one tool to the other.

Great video sir, thx( from indonesia)

I know you have plenty of impact drivers, but have you considered getting a Japanese DT173 makita?

I am really enjoying not only this episode, but also the entire "Small Shop" series. Good on you! But.... I just cannot help it. I am a retired Industrial Arts teacher and, during my tenure as a teacher, I taught that it is very important (yes, even essential) that we use the correct nomenclature for the specific tool, process, or operation in which we are engaged. Therefore, just so other readers of this comment who might not know the difference, I offer this important clarification. The "slot" you cut in the board is NOT a dado. Rather, it is correctly called a "groove." A dado is cut ACROSS the grain; a groove is cut WITH the grain. Very important. Yeah, if you're working all alone and you don't have anyone with whom to discuss what you're doing, that difference won't matter. But, for example, we don't send someone to the store to buy us a Coke and then realize that, when they returned, they brought a Pepsi. Well, they're both soft drinks...and who cares? See? "A dado is a U-shaped, square-bottomed channel cut the grain. A groove looks just like a dado, but runs the grain." --Popular Woodworking So, here are links to web pages that help explain that important difference: www.popularwoodworking.com/tricks/rabbet-vs-dado-vs-groove/#:~:text=A%20dado%20is%20a%20U,but%20runs%20with%20the%20grain. And, here's another tip. Regarding the push stick, I can recommend the excellent RU-vid episode posted very recently by Jay Bates, during which he discusses why he uses one--and only one--type of pushstick. So, regardless of whether or not we agree with Jay, his discussion is quite informative and should help us think about another dimension of table saw safety. Here is the link to Jay's video -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uc4roKADLLo.html So, thanks for your excellent episodes. Please keep it up. You cause us all to become more contemplative about how we organize items in our shop spaces. ~Dr. Larry S. Anderson • Tupelo, MS (birthplace of Elvis)

Are there any good services that would C&C the holders and ship the finished parts to you? I love the idea of this build but without that piece of equipment I am bored just thinking about doing it by hand…😂

The plastic push sticks that come with the table saws are absolute garbage...you have no control over the work piece. They do not put downward pressure on the piece.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure most if not all metal files are push to cut. You're never supposed to pull a metal file. Love the videos and you are well on the way to 1mil subscribers. You're definitely teaching me a lot.

What a fantastic space-saving solution! 🔌🔧 The modular drill storage and charging station is a game-changer for small shops.We've sent you an email, we would love to connect and collaborate with you.

Justin, was a bit skeptical at first until I saw the finished product. The adjustability is great. I am one of those who believe French cleats actually are a real estate loser, and if you build the traditional drill and battery holder (like I did) then you are locked in to that build. Mine works for now, but on my next shop upgrade I am going to consider this. You also inadvertently I think came up with a great idea by utilizing some sort of ceiling mount. I can see the value in that even tho I have 9 foot ceilings. Keep up the great work!

Well done, I recently switched all my battery tools from Bosch+Ryobi to all Milwaukee and my old storage is good for the garbage. I really like the idea of the modularity with the t-tracks.

Congratulations on hitting 10,000 subscribers! It’ll just keep going up I’m sure!

10k!!!!! that reach looks like it would get to be uncomfortable. Battery garage sale?

Thanks for another informative video. You do a great job of explaining your ideas. Thanks for the plan's.

Nice video, Justin. What type of plywood are you using for your projects? Is it from one of the big box stores?

You may want to get a cheap 3d print like a sub $200 ender 3. Then u can print all the battery holders plus more

I keep noticing the wrench rack on your cleat wall but do not see a video on it's build. Do you have one?

Dado's? Router? less time ?

Thanks for the great content! You remind me of my middle school shop teacher without the buger jokes.

My boy looks like Joe Rogans long lost brother 😂 love the videos 👌🏽😭

Congrats on 10k! Well deserved, Justin.

Its better to install these drills der on some sliding rail, so that you can access the tools behind

Earned yourself a sub sir...well done Justin!

just wondering why your not using a dado stack?

Congratulations. Great video share.

Batts on the facia board just above your forehead

Nice, but overcomplicated.

Thanks!

Great video Justin. T track seems like a lot of work making the dados and aligning the track perfectly just to get some adjustability of the J hooks. I think once I decide where to put the tools, I will just keep them there and not adjust the J hooks left or right. I understand others that love the possibility of adjustment and modularity, but still, it's a ton of work compared to just screwing and gluing the J hooks to the shelf. Thanks for a great video.

ESPECTACULAR UNA GRAN INSPIRACION

Great video thank you

Very good video

Justin, another great quality video. Just keep making stuff and I'll come along. (Don't turn it into a shopping channel - that's when I'll switch off) 🙂
