This is great. Please consider potential fire protection when keeping things powered all the time though. Even if that just means removing all power at night. I suffered a fire that destroyed my workshop and business from one cable left powered overnight. I'm sure it will be fine, but it doesn't do any harm to consider these things before they happen!

I think this is how "Q" from 007 started: "I can build anything, I just need a better system"...Utility is a HUGE thing. My first show was our two car garage. Wife's rule: You can have WHATEVER TOOLS YOU WANT...as long as BOTH cars fit in the garage at night. So everything was on wheels, piano hinges, pulleys, whatever. 15-20 min of setting up the tools to start, work and 15-20 min to change or shut down/cleanup. The overhead was killing my hobby! New shop keeps it all ready to go (at the sacrifice of portability which your super-spy cases handily fix!) I am so happy for you! Every time you use your "family" of tools, you will smile even more. Just Awesome!

There is a saying "A place for everything, and everything in its place" Great Job!

I love how ridiculously happy you are with your new system, and I’m sure your shop heaved a big sigh of relief to be so clean and organized.🐝🤗❤️

I have no idea how I even found your channel but I am SO glad I did! Please don't take this the wrong way - but you are absolutely adorable! I realize most grown women don't want to be seen as "adorable", but I don't know how else to describe you. I started with the video of the new house, and I'm now watching the espionage boxes... and I just love you! The joy you find in the simplest, silliest things makes me smile, and Lord knows we could all use a few smiles lately. You seem to be extremely creative which I highly value and appreciate, and I can't wait to watch you bring both the house and the workshop back to life so that they work for you. Fantastic job on revamping these cabinets - You think the way I do. We need it to work, and work well, but we also need it to be easily adaptable. There's no point in spending more time reorganizing than actually "being creative", or actually working when we need to lol. Adorable! 🤣 *** ETA- Girl, EVERYONE that has a use for this system is going to want it. Please, PLEASE, Make sure they are locked up with a good alarm system on the building - or a big dog, whichever works for you - cuz I know I think it's amazing and I don't even really have any use for it 🤣. Although believe you me, as a crafter and small time DIYer, I would certainly put it to work should it happen to fall into my lap. How lucky are you? This is awesome!

Explanatory, is the correct word with perfect pronunciation. Your English is amazing, Laura.

This warms my heart! Respect for inanimate objects... YES! 🎉 Organizing & systems also settles our busy minds. Those cases are most excellent!🤗

The storage we all dream of!

Dear Laura, What you are doing, I did a few years ago when I retired. You are going to LOVE this way of working! I built my own cart/case storage units. For example, I have a cart just for "things that drill." It has all of my bits, chargers for my cordless drills, drills themselves, and there is a drill press on the top. It can go anywhere and plug in anywhere and I can also take it outside. I love my shop now! Now, ANYTHING that is used for drilling can be found in that cart only. There are other carts that work the same way, e.g. "things that saw." Your "family" concept is the way to go! Best Wishes, Tom K.

I'm not sure I've ever seen someone so happy! Such an amazing makeover to the shop, it's obviously going to be more functional, and even if it didn't, just the joy it brings you, the creativity, the happiness of being in a well set up space, it would all be worth it just for that. Can't wait to see more of it and how you grow it over time!

Modular, repairable, and upgradeable is the mantra. Now you've added mobile and made an amazing system. So cool Laura. Great use of a unique find.

Einfach nur sooooooooooooooooooo Mega! Auf-Rollen, die Optik, die Verarbeitung, die Story, der Foodprint Ansatz, Strom..... Krass.

These storage boxes are so perfect! Good wheels and ability to rearrange the stack is very cool! Sharp looking and uniform as well 🌟💪🏻👍👏🏻

What you have done with the storage containers is just brilliant. Really well thought out and perfectly implemented. I like the way you have created a system for organising everything by categories. Pretty damn impressive.

Any time I hear you speak in German I know its going to be a great video. Your excitement and joy make this so much better!

Laura, du bist einfach so sausymphatisch. Es ist so schön zu sehen, wie du dich über das neue System freust!!

Incredibly efficient and so cool! Love the powered stations in the drawers, that's an absolute dream. Your shop is becoming like something out of a documentary of a master maker, can't wait to see more!

I love how altruistic you are, the fact that you view organizing your shop as a favor to the space combined with that bench you repaired, just one of the many reasons I’m always so excited to see what your next video is about. Can’t wait to see you start working with this new system!

This is easily the coolest shop storage on the planet. the built in power and mobility is my favorite element.

You hit gold buying storage like that it will last you a lifetime and it looks awesome.Congrats you deserve to have nice things

for your velcro backed sanding discs, to make them easier to align, have the pads stacked using 3 or 4 dowels. this way when you place the sander down on top to pick up next one the vent holes line up perfectly

Just love the way you design and organise your workshop…. Think this is the BEST critique so far and now newest element…. Mobility…. That’s magnificent👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼😎🇦🇺

So jealous of those cases. Super useful and downright beautiful! Would be cool to integrate the front door panels that you removed for the tools you hang on the walls. That way if you need to take those along you unhook the panel from the wall, connect to the front of a box, close it up and take it as well! Looking forward to seeing you use these long into the future!

Looks awesome. Best part is how happy and excited you are. Admit I'm a little sad the old labels are gone. They were cool. lol

This is the content I live for. You've done an unbelievable job! (Don't tell Adam, but I think you're system is better.)

The way you described your old system, it's hard to believe you've been so creative and productive with it! 😅 Love the new system!!! Congrats on the big change ♥

You are a Legend, Laura! The epitome of German efficiency/joy in organisation!

Loved it. One idea I’ve adopted is this scenario: I know I have a seldom used tool but can’t remember where I put it. I go to the place I think it should be but it’s not there. I eventually find it stored elsewhere. I use the tool then put it back in the first place I looked for it in my search. Now it’s where it belongs.

What a dream setup. Wow.

Hands down. The coolest shop. Ever.

LOOOOOOVE IT!!!! This should be a system you can buy of the shelf. I want this for my workshop! I need this!!

I’m glad you were able to repurpose a very specific item into something that is actually very functional for you. Good work.

You are an inspirational international living-treasure. IILT. That's you, Ms. Kampf!

WOW! So cool! My mind is still blown by this find. This is the holy grail for a mobile shop of many kinds.

It’s so cool to see how happy it makes you 😀

I'm not sure how I missed this one Laura but WOW! I'm franticly searching for "James Bond Spy Cases" on ebay! Obviously no luck but such a cool 2nd life for those crates in your shop. I whole-heartedly agree about taking the time to make working in your shop efficient and enjoyable. Keep up the awesome work!

You have created the shop of my dreams. True, we build different things, but the organization!!! It gave me chills of excitement! Your joy brings me joy and your projects inspire my own! So happy to have found your channel! Also, I love hearing all the German language spoken!

I'm not an organized person in day to day life and gotten worse since my lower leg amputation. But in the tools department (due to my career...machinist) everything is cleaned and put away EVERY night. Time is money so to speak. Next time I move I'm organizing into 3 different tool chests (minimum) that are color coded. Red is SAE, Blue is Metric, Yellow is precision... Then I'll have seperate boxes in the welding area, soldering/wiring, machine shop, carpentry, etc. Think I might actually kill for the system you have, but unless someone was harming my family its not worth the time. Congratulations on the incredible purchase Laura.

When our shop is clean and well organized, our soul is too 🙏🏻

I hope you kept the cooler box. Nothing is more important in a shop than to have a handy place for a cold drink.

I am listening to this video while organizing my tools and yes, this is an important job that just have to be done.

I agree on this, configurability is the key to creative businesses and people

Cool futuristic storage system! really like it... you probably won't see this comment but as a guy that has done industrial controls wiring it's not a good idea to tin your wires like that with solder and then put it into the screw terminals. it's strictly forbidden because of fire risks and shock hazards. the idea is that you have two metals that have different melting points and expansion rates in a physical connection and they can, over time as the current heats up the wire, cause the connection to degrade and become a fire risk. it's actually a very similar idea to why the backstab connections on electrical outlets cause fires at an elevated rate. bad connection increases resistance which increases the heat at that point. anyhoo be safe and keep rocking out. (also, if you want to be super duper industrial controls level you can go with ferrules that you crimp on to those wires and they will withstand being moved around from terminal to terminal many times without degrading.

I'm 65 and a DIY everything. I am jealous of your storage system.... I want one❣️❣️❣️❣️

I love the shallow drawers! Great for keeping things easy to find and not over stuffing them!

Those boxes are an amazing find and incredible tool storage. Great use of a very good find.

I’m so happy for you. This is such an amazing find, and the epitome of awesome.

Ich bin soooooo neidisch. Das mit dem Strom, den Akkuladegeräten, der Verteilung, der Sauberkeit ist sooooooooooo befriedigend zu sehen. Will ich auch!

ohhh jaa, darum beneide ich dich wirklich, ich bin oft unterwegs und muss ständig Werkzeug packen. da geht so viel Zeit drauf und dann fehlt doch wieder etwas. ich hätte die cases auch sofort gekauft 😊😊 hammer

Awesome! I love the drawers and the built in power. I know Adam Savage says that it is where tools go to die, but it is just nice not having to hang everything.

Absolute genius!!! I so admire your mind, your brilliance, heart and beauty. You are a complete delight and wonder. ,💞

Your enthusiasm as so contagious. I find myself sitting here with the biggest of smiles. Thank You!

Das ist wirklich ein mega-geniales Aufbewahrunssystem !!! Meine Hobbywerkstatt ist winzig, deshalb habe ich schon seit über 10 Jahren zwei große Schubladenschränke für Handwerkzeuge um viele Kleinteile übersichtlich zu lagern. Deine Schubladenboxen sind dagegen natürlich viel variabler und sogar transportabel und kombinierbar. Genial ist die Idee das man auch manche Geräte in der Schublade betreiben kann und nicht jedesmal herausnehmen muss.

This system is you ! Smart and creative.

So excited you spoke German! Wunderbar!

SUCH A GREAT ARTIST. I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT ORGANIZING THE SHOP. I HATE IT WHEN IT TAKES ME TO LONG TO FIND SOMETHING I NEED. TIME IS MONEY. BEING ORGANIZED CUTS DOWN THAT "FIND-TIME". LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT ARTISTIC PROJECT. FROM THE STATES AND 70YRS OLD BIKERMAMMA. BEST OF LUCK.

I can't describe how much I like this!

Завидую хорошей белой завистью :))

Die Boxen sind wirklich spitze! Und das zu dem Preis. Ich hab grad was kleineres, aber ein Ähnliches Projekt verwirklicht. Ich hab eine mobile Werkbank aus einer Gitterbox Palette gebaut. Mit Werkzeug Wand, Druckluft und vielen aufhänge und verstau Möglichkeiten. Ist auch ein Schraubstock drauf. Funktioniert zusammen mit meinem Werkzeugwagen (das ist aber nur so ein kleines Billig Teil, das ich irgendwann auch mal ersetzen muss). Die beiden Dinge stehen an meiner Hebebühne und sind halt mobile und dadurch super flexible. Ich mag solche auf meine Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten Lösungen.

Super happy for you. It’s a nice feeling to reorganize, I feel like new ideas come more freely when you do this.

So happy to see you so happy ☺️

Your smile says so much!

Your now have the most awesome shop in the world! Beautiful.

This looks like a dream come true ❤️ I fell in love with flight cases and mobile power management more and more the deeper i went into designing and building my own modular synth setup. P.S I just wanted to thank u for hanging that pride flag❤️ i dunno how long its been there but i know i was low key waiting on it very patiently 😸

That empathy with the space… just love it. And the boxes are awesome.

Brilliant! the greatest frustration for me is preparing each tool for work, and you are all set. Brava!

you have such a gracious attitude and inspiring disposition. Its wonderful seeing you so joyful when working on things youre passionate about, Laura

I'm so happy for you Laura. You happened upon an amazing system to really enable you to make even more wonderful things.

Your passion is infectious. Such a brilliant new storage system.

I'm so glad you took your time with this one, way more satisfying to see you this happy with this much care in the project. Congratulations on the new layout! This was really satisfying to see come together.

You are a lucky genius..Lucky for such a find..and genius for knowing how to utilize them. The thing about them always having a power.. It would give so much space for creativity.

I love your enthousiastic energy 🥰

Totally understand. I get excited like this when tidying my garage and making new better ways to store and access my tools.

Nice to see you that happy !

This is THE best video on storage - I love your thinking.

Laura, your pure enthusiasm, positive energy and good karma always brings joy to me when I watch you work. Congratulations on the great find and the effort you put into your workspace. May it bring you many happy days creating and building! Bravo

Listening to you squeee over the storage cases just warms my heart.

Woooow! I cannot begin to describe how cool that is! And I love love love your energy!

I absolutely love your delight in these boxes. Not surprised, they are such a wonderful and exciting find. Well chosen storage leads to more comfortable making. I know you know this. It is so good to be able to put your hand out knowing the tool you need is just there. Lets the creativity flow.

Great system Laura. Remember that mobility is also the friend of the thief or burglar too. Keep safe.

Loved your enthusiasm! Organising is fun!

I congratulate you on your new storage system, each person has a way to store and organize the tool they use, many options to use.

Love it. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and talent.

Great set up, and great thought process. I've just relocated to a new shop and I may use some of these concepts - but without the espionage equipment boxes... Thumbs up and thanks for posting!

Subbed for these boxes, great stuff. As a mechanic of 20 years there is nothing better than getting that perfect organised set up. Well done and also subbed!

Thank you for sharing your process! We love you so much, 🥰

Awesome...nothing better than a good shop improvement! So nice...

That's a nice find storage containers I like what you did with the keeping the electrical so you can reuse and especially having it mobile so you can do the work

Seeing you sat in the middle of your storage systems with a huge smile on your face is fantastic. It's great to see you in your happy place, just lovely.

Love the way your mind works, glad to know I'm not the only analytical, methodical nut!

Just brilliant 👌 I am already a fair way into fitting out my workshop but this video has given me quite a few ideas for the final configuration. Thanks Laura.

I doubt that I’d ever have a workshop that needs some sort of tool organising system, but listening to how you decided to organise your tools to fully utilise these crazy spy boxes brings me joy! Keep doing what you’re doing.

The most and largest smiles on KZfaq.😊😁😃 It's good to see somebody getting so much pleasure from their "work".

Wow. you really nailed it. congrats!!

Oh my god, when you pulled out the micro motor drawer, with the tool plugged in, powered, and ready to go - that's shop nirvana!

The shop is looking wundershoen. This does seem 100% better than those Festool drawer systems. Glad to see it's making joy for you!

As soon as I saw those boxes, I was so envious, because of them being perfect for these three pillars (storage, utility, mobility).

Absolutely wonderful

What a good and well-equipped workshop you have👍😊💕
