Maker Spaces: Touring Frank Ippolito's Upgraded Shop!

Рет қаралды 185,981

Күн бұрын

When we last toured Frank's workshop, he had just moved into a new 2000 square foot space with new infrastructure to support scaled up projects. One year later, we get a tour of his latest upgrades, including custom tool storage, paint spray booth, and digital fabrication machines like 3D printers and a laser cutter!

It sure is nice to have the room to keep stuff organized. My garage is not a sixth the size of your shop. So stuff ends up on top of each other here.

It's a nice workspace indeed! And "the Martian project" makes me really curios...

I think for cans cabinet you should add colored labels, I have that at my place and it helps people that are not completely used to the workshop find cans quicker.

The pegboard system for paint cans and a lot of hand tools is a nice touch. It's a brilliant way to utilize that space.

AND you got your railing in. Maybe it's me, Frank but I want to know more about all the latest projects. Your rise is wonderful and exciting... but I don't know anything about what you're up to, business wise. I got, that some of it you can't talk about, but surely some of it... !

Rebuilding my (home garage) shop this summer and get s lot of great ideas from this video. Adam has inspired a lot of ideas that are incorporated into this new shop, that said I see some improvements like the paint can rollout storage shelves. Norm, your doing a great job but I'm a little worried that you might be picked up by some large media cooperation 😯

Joakim Solheim they're drawers on slides flipped on their sides. there are hundreds of online DIY how-tos for basic drawer construction, just scale to fit your need and replace the bottom with peg board.

nice to hear you talk about safety. you added a hand rail and I saw at least two fire extinguishers but at the very start of the video you walk through an overhead door. at where I work overhead doors are not pedestrian access points.

At 1:46 - About the black storage containers with the yellow handles/tabs. These are from Stanley and have removable compartments for small parts. Great stuff and inexpensive (and MUCH cheaper than the Sortimo branded containers).

@NickFajardo 7 жыл бұрын

You can also get the even cheaper versions at HarborFrieght

@cemx86 7 жыл бұрын

True. I bought a HF unit at $9 and gave it away. Stanley at Home Depot is $11.42. Stick with Stanley, better built. BTW: Sortimo are $60 for the T-Boxx!!

@FrankIppolito 7 жыл бұрын

sortimo is prohibitively expensive, and doesn't really offer any storage advantages to the stanley ones. the Harbor Freight ones broke super fast.

Hella late, but are you using a standard height for all your tables, or do they each vary? Would make sense for a standard if making them able to combine, but also variable if other people use them.
