Adam Savage Finally Finds Good Shop Storage Drawers!

Adam has long held the belief that drawers are where objects in your shop go to get lost and never be used, due to common types of storage drawer designs. But he finally finds a cabinet--previously used in the medical field--that has large low profile drawers that are actually useful for his workflow. It's time to migrate all the materials from his paint cart, wire racks, and small stock bins to this new cabinet, and the process begins with a little bit of lockpicking.

I'm glad you clarified the useful purpose of drawers vs. where things go to die... I've worked in the cabinet business for 51 years and have set up several work departments and have found drawers are a great way to keep things organized and give easy access. I also place my drawers in order in which assembly in a given department is done.

What you got there, my friend, is what we med techs call a crash cart, atop which commonly sits a defibrillator. It houses EVERYTHING that might be needed in the event of cardiac emergency, & that lock box is present to store meds/controlled substances. I've stocked way too many of those suckers, top to bottom, & it's indeed the zenith of organizational use. Kudos on a fine addition!

It has wheels. It's durable and has a lot of compartments. Put subsets of all the things you use most frequently.

Utility is a function of convenience, accessibility, and organization.

As a machinist, I find keeping specific/specialty end mills in their individual cases keeps them from bumping into each other in the drawer, also protects their edges.

One thing I've learned watching a lot of professional fabricators and technicians of different sorts is that their tool storage system is as much as tool as the implements they actually store and employ. For rolling carts like that, I tend to think "purpose-storage" and putting tools surrounding a function or type of work, rather than mixed general storage, which makes less use of the rolling function. To me, that looks like it would be an excellent airbrush equipment and paints storage cart. The notch in the back of the one drawer from the removal of the locking lid would be a good compressor cord passthrough.

Never really got Adam’s thing about drawers - well I did, and I didn’t: _deep_ drawers that can’t be pulled out all the way are where things go to die, that’s totally true. There are crap drawers and good drawers: good drawers are shallow, so things can’t hide underneath other things, and good drawers are drawers that can be pulled out until you can see what’s in the back.

@bluefish239 Жыл бұрын

It's probably mostly down to attention deficit. For a lot of us out of sight is out of mind to a greater extent than to someone who doesn't have to live with it. So it's a common strategy to store things in a way where we can always spot it just by looking around. It takes a lot more effort to internalize where something "lives" when we start putting them in drawers, and to maintain it as well. (this is also probably why everything is very clearly labelled on the outside of Adams drawers). I know that for me personally, using drawers even if they are organized and not too deep usually means I need to open and look in all of them, cause I simply cannot remember where stuff is. Or I just forget it exists entirely. The only drawer I have that works for me is one that specifically only has water color tubes in it, organized by color temperature. If I try to have anything else live in there my attempts at organization will simply implode.

@goodun2974 Жыл бұрын

The problem with Akro bins when you hang them on the wall is that they're open to the environment and therefore they collect dust. I particularly don't like the dark blue Akro bins because it makes it harder to see what's in the bin, especially if you have 2 or 3 somewhat similar but different fasteners or whatever in the bin. The light blue plastic bins used for the other drawers of this storage cabinet are much better because they allow more light in. Somebody who's 30 with near perfect eyesight might not care so much, but when you get to 60 and your eyesight isn't great and perhaps you're working in a shop that doesn't have the best or most ideal lighting, you will find that you want light- colored high visibility containers and trays for everything. I've even gone so far as to spray the inside of my toolbags with white spray paint so that anything that falls to the bottom of the bag will at least be backlit to some extent.

The concept of First Order Retrievability has been incredibly influential in my life, but so has 'drawers are where things go to die'. To that end, I structure my working life such that everything I reasonably need frequently or not is always in 1 consistent spot. So even if I don't use it practically ever, it will be in the 1 exact place I intended to leave it, and that spot will be nearby things that are similar enough to make me remember where it is. What gets frustrating is that my coworkers do NOT believe in things like cleanliness, organization, F.O.R., so they will take my meticulous systems and do whatever they feel like and sometimes I have to spend time during my work hours resetting things to be as they should be to be their most efficient so that I can have an easier time.

Wow, just so happens I've been looking for a drawer solution to build my new garage shop. I have had the exact opinion about drawers for years - they hide things away, and it adds an extra step to retrieve a tool (have to open the drawer first obviously). Also they are much more expensive than something like a pegboard or "shadow board." However... in my case, I now have a very small space to work with, and when you consider that to lay out tools in a way that they are organized neatly and easily retrievable, then what you need is surface area. And to maximize surface area per volume, you need drawers. Arguably they also make a shop more aesthetically pleasing. I've been trying to decide whether to build my own from scratch or just buy them pre-made. Thanks for the video!

@thatguy6054 Жыл бұрын

I'm in the same boat as you are. The make/buy decision is an especially tough call. None of the commonly available, reasonably priced consumer companies (Craftsman, Husky, US general) make anything with lots of shallow drawers. Adam's "new" cabinets are commercial/industrial units and very expensive unless you're lucky enough to find them second hand. Building is very time consuming and usually more expensive than an off-the-shelf solution. You do get something custom tailored to your space. But if you have a preference for steel drawers over wood... It would be awesome if one of the consumer companies sold cabinets empty and sold drawers sepatately in 1X, 2X, 3X, etc sizes so you could mix and match to your personal needs.

I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but It I appreciate moments like. @ 39:45 this that you keep in your videos... "To err is human" Adam, thank you for showing us that it is okay to make mistakes, because it is a major part of growing. You are my David Attenborough!

i just love the fact that the chair, he sits on in almost every video, was partially made by my favourite musician. The connection between adam savage and jack white is the greatest kollaboration ever.

Props to your video editor - LOVE leaving the real-time audio under the sped up video with the music.

"maker" is nearly the same as "manufacturer". Having been working in manufacturing and logistics for over a decade I've been seeing all the stuff about how Adam organizes and being baffled that 5S has never come up. It's very common practice for Lean Manufacturing/Just in Time/ Six Sigma run companies and Adam embodies it more than most people I've ever met but never once have I seen it in explicitly in a Tested video.

Speaking as a journeyman wireman of well over 20 years of experience hearing someone describe 14 AWG as big is humorous to me. To me a piece of 600 kcmil is starting to get big. A matter of perspective I guess. Thanks for helping me see different ways of viewing my work space in new ways!

Oh, you beloved old Sage. Thank you for allowing yourself to evolve year-over-year and sharing your growth with us lay-people. One of the four pillars! Year-Over-Year improvement, followed by Brand Differentiation (Tested is clearly a brand), People Development & Culture (how we treat the people we've developed).

Awesome! Was talking to a friend about your storage solutions. He said Adam does and has way more stuff then we need/use. My response was yeah that’s true, but I still learn so many useful things that translate to smaller “workshops”

Adam following Inheritance Machining is the most obvious match I never thought of. Love you both, you're doing amazing things.

as i'm sitting here 7 and a half minutes in, thinking about The Lockpicking Lawyer and... of Course Adam has Covert Instruments. I am pleased.

I totally agree with Adam about drawers with specific purposes are great. Long ago I invested in ToolGrid, Toolbox Widget, Ernst organizers. Now I have specific drawers that I can even easily identify what is missing. By doing this now I find everything so easily and can put it back easily

Hello Adam, if you hit the central lockker you can open it, under the cabinet is a handel you must pull/press it 👍👍😉

This is such a great video to show people how lock picking really goes. Like Adam said most people only ever see TV/Film versions where its instant. Then you go on youtube and see Lock Picking Lawyer (and other channels like it) with people of super high skill breaking into locks in seconds.

You are a good soul Adam. I have 0 interest in draws, yet here I am watching you. Enough said.

organization is a lovely thing, without which a deep shelf is no better than drawer, specially if it's below waist height

Nice find,Adam! I have an older Homak cart which I believe is also a medical cart since it has the big rubber bumpers at each corner. Got it for free and turned it into my toolbox. Love it.

Another good source for drawer & cabinet comes from Banking. The under counter steel for bank tellers is wonderful modular stuff. Superduty rollers, latches, etc. Often removed and discarded when bank's get remodeled.

I love my drawers. I love my drawer locks. I use them all. I know where everything is. Nothing gets lost or dusty. The dog and kids can't chew on my stuff. Long live the humble drawer.
