Tool Caddy Build for Hand Tools // Woodworking 

Perhaps this is an opportunity to acquire more tools 😂

I've thought about it as a knife block. Perhaps one day I'll revisit the idea and make in a similar style, though smaller and taller

Thanks for tuning in 👍

You won't want to blink for my next video. Someone challenged me to do it in 3 minutes or less, and wow was she unhappy about it! oh wait...I'm thinking of something else. But yeah next vid..don't blink or you'll miss it 😂

Thanks mate. My saw is a bit of a luxury, well worth the second mortgage on my house 🤣

Heh, thanks mate😂 👍

Thanks Sean

Thanks Tony. This does seem like a pretty basic thing that I have overlooked all of my career. The more I think about it, the more potential for improved work flow it reveals!

Thanks Greg

Thanks mate

You can come and collect it whenever you like. I built yours as a flat pack though, some assembly required 😂

I have a flush trim saw in the caddy. I think my other handsaws would be a little too tall. Worth considering though

Thanks David. I get a kick out of my bench every time I need to do basic tasks like hold something firmly in a vice. The bench is rock solid, and the vice is even better, zero slippage ftw :D

Thanks. My caddy has been coming in really handy lately 👍

Awesome. I'm glad you were able to make what you wanted using the tools and materials you have available.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Dave. Only a few tools, but they do most of the hard work for me.

Ha! As if a sandwich has a chance of being put down for even a moment. 🥙🌭🍞

@@kuffyswoodwork ha! true dat 🤣

Hehe, thanks. I think mine may end up filling with dust, but everything fills with dust anyways 🤣

@@kuffyswoodwork I didn't want to appear negative but I was thinking of not having a base (except at the front till) to allow dust to fall through. In a humid climate dust clinging to metal is excellent if your aiming for rust.

No base was my plan originally, but the marking gauges and rulers are quite long so I would need make it much taller, or block off those particular slots. I'll see how it goes, but I don't have much of a problem with my tools rusting

This thing is better than sliced bread 🤣

Thanks 👍

Thanks Des

Thanks for your continued support Steve 👍

My bench is nicer than my own dining table. My priorities start and finish in the garage 🤣

All of the tools are where they should be. I haven't actually done any tool work all week. Just finishing off some past projects, taking photos, and doing a lot of work at the computer

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks Ivan.

It certainly solved the problem of having tools all over my bench very nicely. It's one of those "wish I did it 20 years ago" type things :D

Cheers mate. I probably need to buff the bits of Redgum. Currently they only have a couple coats of satin poly which muddys the surface a lot. A bit of auto polish should go a long way.

There are a few things which activate super glue. Glen 20 is one, but I found them to be unreliable. I've never tried, or noticed water working to activate CA glues. I'll test it some time

Kuffys Woodwork from what I understand, the ‘activator’ is nothing but water. Super glue sticks so well to human skin due to the water we have in our bodies. Personally, when I use super glue, I’ve sprayed a little water and it seems to work fine. I’m no expert, it’s just from the little bit of internet information I’ve randomly collected on the internet, so take that how you may. If activator really is just water, I would think allowing it to come close enough to the glue as you squeezed the boards together would start the hardening process. Regardless, I enjoyed seeing you use it. It’s much better than my method of hot glue and wood glue.

Nice. I'll test it this evening. Hopefully it works because water is cheaper than activator 🤣

Lol. I did have a jumper on and we were in double digit temps most days. Though at work, we start at 6:30am, and on a cold frosty day, the packs of timber are literally covered in ice. That's when I get cold legs...because I don't actually have a single pair of work pants. 😂

Hi Don. My saw is a Chinese built sliding panel saw. It can cut full 8x4' sheets. Since making my tool caddy, my workbench has remained clear of tool clutter. I just need to figure out how to keep my bench clear of work pieces 😂

I do not have a video discussing the Fritz and Franz jig. I first saw the jig a couple of years ago, but by that time I had already been using panel saws for more than 18 years and I just couldn't grasp the usefulness of the jig. It seemed like an awkward thing to use just to keep hands away from the blade. With my initial impression being pretty poor, I haven't given it any further thought.

The panel saw is awesome, but nothing 😂

The activator/accelerator is Zap kicker. I put PVA glue on part of the work piece, and CA glue on the parts that the PVA missed. I would think that by combining the two glues, there will be some adverse effect's, but it'll be strong enough regardless.

Awesome, thank you very much. Yes, my sander is a MIrka Ceros. It's a great sander. I've owned it for about 4 years and it has never given me any issues. Even the hooks on the interface pad still grip the sanding discs more than well enough. I bought it to replace a Milwaukee sander which vibrates something vicious leaving me with a weird sensation in my forearms for the rest of the evening. I'm told this sensation is something of a genuine concern in the long term.

It's not cheap, but it is probably the cheapest hardwood available down here. We use Tas oak/Vic ash as our F17 structural hardwood.

Lol. I wish I did 😂😂😂

I have a tool box which is basically just a bucket. The toolbox holds my tools for other trades, electrical, plumbing, mechanical etc. I wouldn't dare put sharp chisels or measuring tools in there and expect them to come out as good as they went in
