Don't sleep on Jordan. I like his simplistic approach and being organized with the hint of complication by undermounting the drawer slides. I can see a lil use for everyone's contribution. I usually morph ideas together when building things. I really enjoyed watching this series. Keep it coming. Go team Jordan...

I made the beginner cart design and added french cleats to the sides so it can be a project cart that can have interchangeable tools on the sides depending on just what the project is. I take the required stools off my french cleated walls and they slip right on the sides. It can go onto the deck or out of the garage with me.

Alfred, 18 years experience. It's a shop cart so you make it out of doug fir off cuts that are mostly twisted so you don't even bother with fancy joinery. Besides, since you're a professional carpenter and not a youtuber, the slab in your shop is so uneven it doesn't matter how straight it is, you're going to have to shim it every time you use it. Fasten with something from your box of mismatched screws. Do you have a box of random hardware? I do, maybe some casters in there? If not there's a bar next to the Ace Hardware. Take three hours to go to the Ace Hardware and buy four casters. One of these will not swivel because you went to the bar first (rookie mistake). Go back to Ace hardware, exchange for a swivel caster. Make sure you attach them with decking screws that use all different kind of drivers so you can curse yourself sometime in the future when you need to steal a caster for something else.

@ErraticPerfectionist 3 жыл бұрын

I'm so glad to hear someone say that they like to practise joinery techniques on shop furniture! Once I clean up enough space in my garage to actually have room to build and use shop furniture of my own, I intend to do the same. Every design idea for potential shop furniture I've doodled in my notebook has used different joins so that I could learn how to do them better. So hopefully when I eventually get to using them on a project that I don't want to screw up, I'll have made most of my mistakes on something I don't mind won't be perfect. Of course, having said that, John's use of those joins in his cart is still way beyond my skill level at this stage 😂

A pro tip that I'd like to share in "no loose cloths or dangly pull cords around power tools....... especially table saws". Jordan's pull cords, for his hood, made me wince when he was on the table saw. I know there's a whole perspective issue and there might have been quite a big gap, but next time he might have to lean over a bit further and ............! I have even seen this happen and I was so glad that my friend didn't have nots on the end of his toggle and that it wasn't stitched in anywhere. He did get pulled towards the blade but thankfully the cord pulled all of the way through his hood before it was to late. It took him a long time to get back into his shop, but we have all learnt from his mistake and are hopefully a lot safer for it 👍

I liked each little cart to be honest. The first one, I liked the fact, that the top, had hidden storage, now.. I might have done the sliding mechanism, different, so that you could have stuff on it, and it not.. break when you go to slide it out to get a tool. But it was neat. Second cart, I like Adam savages idea being used, about having access to hand tools when you need them. 3rd cart, well I like the extra work that went in to finishing it up. function wise, I didn't much care for it. Mainly because a mobile cart, your probably not going to be using it to clamp any projects down.. when you have a main work table. This was a neat segment.
