This video is the fifth video around Shop Organization focused on Sandpaper Storage. If you are like me, you may have this stored all over the place and never seem to have enough room for it. This video walks through my thought process on how I designed it as well as the solution I came up with.

Once again you nailed it! I have to say out of all the makers on KZfaq I like how you plan everything through and put well thought content. I'm sure there is a lot of planning and thought in these videos and it truly shows. I purchased the Miter saw plans and the workbench plans. I have began my planning stage with the use of your plans with what tools I have and how I can incorporate them with what room I have. My future plan is to have a French cleat wall, and I will be saving this to add to that in the near future. One other thing I like is you share the best economical route to go for supplies, as for most of us this is a side hobby from our normal lives and are armature makers on a budget. I look forward to the next video and keep up the good work!

Thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback and hope you liked the plans. Side note, if you feel they are lacking in anything let me know, I try to be very detailed. Anyways, I’m very analytical and I know some people like that strategic planning and some people it drives crazy. But my thought is if I can over analyze things and explain why I came to certain conclusions, it helps save others time and money of going through the same trials and errors I did.

I really appreciated you showing and talking about using the miter saw for grooves. Knowing how they work is important and any time attempting precision shows you the wiggle. The amount of side-to-side movement by your input on the handle when pulling down or sliding. If I’m going to be using a hand tool on it after I’ll make cuts on the miter saw and get it as acceptable as I want. Sometimes just sanding it changes it enough for me too.

Thank you so much for that, it really means a lot! This is one of my favorite comments I’ve ever received. I look forward to creating a lot more videos in the future and I have a lot of ideas I have yet to do. Have a few things I’m working on that I think people are really going to like…although some may be a bit more complicated of a solution, I am trying to push myself to learn new things. So some may seem like “that seems over engineered or over kill for that kind of a project”, it’s so I can learn it and make mistakes on a smaller scale prior to using on it on something larger, if that makes sense. Thank you again Doug, hope you have an awesome weekend!

Love this series. A problem I have is that I'm a handyman, auto mechanic, metal worker, wood worker, and VERY into mountain biking (among other sports). Each of these things requires not just their own sets of specialty tools, but there is also a TON of crossover tools (I have so many allen wrenches it makes me cry...). My shop is small, 20x18. I feel like there may be a lot of people in the same boat as me. Would you have any interest in doing a "5 hobbies, one shop" video? Thanks man, keep up the work!

Once again, great video and tips. I like the modularity of this, yet all fits together. I built a small drawer cabinet to hold my 5" ROS paper with 12 drawers (yes, I use that many grits sometimes), but have the rest scattered around the shop in drawers and cabinets. I need to rearrange the shop soon to group all sanding in one place and one of these close will fit the need for storage. Looking forward to seeing more of your ideas. - Chris

Great video many thanks. Just watching again and i noticed one thing i would recommend, is the papers and grits are the wrong way round. I use to use loads of discs and sandpaper in our body shop. and cross contamination of grits is bad so much batter to have giner grit to the top and course to the bottom. So any grains falling from discs above wouldnt matter if fine above. Again would that I could make videos like this well done and Many Thanks

@jasonray3937 3 жыл бұрын

Nicely done. I slapped myself on the forehead when you used CA glue and activator to build the stack of shelves; of course if that's used in areas that will be cut away it won't matter. And its much more secure than double stick tape, and takes less time. That thought hadn't occurred to me before. One question - since sandpaper is light, did you consider building the carcasses using 1/2" instead of 3/4" plywood? If so, why did you choose 3/4'? And if not, if you did it again would you use 1/2"? Thank you again for all your work and your style, both are appreciated.

@RingsWorkshop 3 жыл бұрын

Haha thank you, I appreciate it! Honestly I had bought four sheets of the maple ply I used for a lot of other projects in the shop, however didn’t realize until I got it all home and unloaded that the quality was quite different. It was at the beginning of Covid last year and there were very obvious seems every 6-8 inches of where the veneer came together. The inside layers weren’t near as nice either, had some voids, more of a yellow color. So I used one sheet to rip down into French cleats, I used another sheet for this. Good call out, could easily have been half inch ply. Part of the OCD in me just wanted all the storage I made to match I think as well.

Biggest thing is I don’t use that many grits very often, especially on my belt sander. I more or less designed it overkill so if people needed that much it would work out and if they needed less they could scale it down. Also thought if I had more options I would use more, but I really don’t.

@Tensquaremetreworkshop 2 жыл бұрын

If you carefully design the unit for a given space, French cleats add no value- you are not going to be moving it. I built a similar abrasive store, but added a door- the extra access operation was worth excluding the dust. There is an argument that we never use full sheets, and so they should be stored as thirds, or quarters. My problem is - which?

@RingsWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын

I would disagree, things change. Tools change, amount of tools change, workspace needed changes. Most of what I have on my French cleat wall I have moved at least once, if not multiple times. The sand paper storage hasn’t been relocated, but I have shifted it around a few times based on where my miter station was below, if this was just mounted into the wall that likely wouldn’t be the case. So even if it isn’t a full relocation or rearranging, having the flexibility to slide it down even a half inch of space is needed, is very nice. The full sheet question is an interesting one. I normally use quarter sheets, and from there I either fold them up more or tear down even less. I’m sure it depends if you use a palm sander or sanding blocks to get them to fit.

@Tensquaremetreworkshop 2 жыл бұрын

@@RingsWorkshop So you have a French cleat system with 1/2" movement? That would remove most of my objections to the system. It is not clear in the video how you achieve that...

@@Tensquaremetreworkshop side to side, not up and down. I had to shift my miter station between a 1/2” and 1” to the left and because of that my miter saw when at 45 degrees the handle would hit the sand paper holder, so I had to shift that down as well.

@Tensquaremetreworkshop 2 жыл бұрын

@@RingsWorkshop Ahh, it was the 'slide it down' that threw me. Guess you meant 'slide it across'. What I like least about cleats is that there has to be a space at the top, to allow the lift to disengage. That is a space almost designed to collect dust. Unused areas of cleating also harbour dust.

Hey, brother, I’ve watched your series and I may have missed it somehow, but I don’t recall you discussing Haz-Mat storage. Most garage/shops (like mine) have combustible/flammable and toxic chemicals. While I don’t have an appropriate, metal, NFPA recommended “yellow cabinet” , I have an area. Unfortunately, all my flammable and toxic liquids are stored on large, wooden shelves. The best I can do at the moment is to use an area as close to the garage door and on an outside wall away from my house as possible. That way, if there’s an explosion, the energy will blow out my garage door and not my living room wall and the fire will impinge in a brick wall and not my living room wall. I also try to store paint and swimming pool chemicals over there too. It’s certainly NOT ideal or even desirable. Any suggestions on haz-mat storage? (Perhaps a future video?)
