Adam Savage's Electronics Storage Reckoning!
Рет қаралды 350,643
2 жыл бұрынAdam spends the holiday weekend tackling a workshop organization project he's been thinking about for over a year and a half: the reorganization of all the electronics components he's accumulated. From switches and soldering accessories to LED strips and battery packs, Adam's electronics gear is spread out over 18 storage bins in three different sections of the cave. Getting everything in its place will require a reevaluation of what wasn't working in order to realize what storage solution works best for Adam's process.

Work with a numbering system.....works much faster.....Electronics is Category 1, Woodworking 2 etc etc. It helps speed up the proces of retrieval. Dont use more than for example 8 categories. Write a big number 1 (visible from distance) on a box/drawer/whatever (with electronics) and then define the content of storage further?

Adam, buddy, switches are electrics are not electronics neither are battery holders. Those are electrical components yes but NOT electronics. Please mate, there is a difference and I would have assumed you were aware of that. #Dissapointed #Dissalusioned

Reorganizing must feel like a giant weight has been lifted. I've been slowly reorganizing my 2-car garage that is stacked 5-7 feet high. This video gave me some useful ideas. In your reorganization, I noticed that one critical bin seemed to be missing--the garbage bin. I've found this one to be the most useful. There must be some items that realistically won't ever be used and can be gotten rid of. Or at least they may not be worth the storage space they are taking up, if after 20 years or so you haven't needed them. Thanks for all your great tips.

Loved hearing you give yourself a "deadline" on when you expected to be done. I'm midway through your book and on the deadlines chapter and I can see in action how you just put that seemingly arbitrary deadline on your task. But I love that it also allows for time to work on and possibly complete a ODB. The book is changing how I view your videos in such a positive way. I've got a deadline of my own to finish your book before Silicon when I get to come meet you! But life likes to give me 30 minute chunks of time to read here and there and that means reviewing what I already read to remember the context.

Electronics wise, i much prefer the waygo connectors to wire nuts/lugs, they dont damage the cables, dont need tape, are just as strong and you can remove and re connect the wires without damaging them. And you can get a variety of types for different sizes of wire. Perfect for both temporary, and permanent use. They also now have ones to replace the screw style passthrough terminals

One thing I have an opinion on is organizing resistors. E6(or E12) values fit neatly into a grid. I use rows for the prefix, and columns for the order of magnitude. So the bottom row would be 1, 10, 100, 1k, 10k, 100k, 1M, and the left column would be 1, 1.5, 2.2, 3.3, 4.7, 6.8. So with a 7x6 grid I can get within about 20% of any value from 1 ohm to 6.8M. Can use more than one resistor if I need more precision. Though there are still a couple bins for things that don't fit the above organization.

This resonated with me at a core level 🤣 When Adam started showing off organization techniques and talking about his methodology it got me hooked, not only watching but starting my journey down the forever rabbit hole and entirely seperate hobby of garage organization 🤣 not just "Pinterest style - look pretty" organizing, but similar, First Order Retrieval style, automotive wiring organization has also been my BANE. I've come down to a rolling 5 drawer tool chest with sortimo bins to organize all my "inventory" (seperate sortimo cases if I need to bring parts with me for a project) I've recently put all of my electronic "tools" into the Milwaukee packout system, but still unsure if I love it.... Electronics seem to be a magical set of tools and items which sometimes have crossover uses, and each electrical job is so wildly different each cart seems to always have 90% more than is necessary. But it's all necessary at some point 🤣 I absolutely love the organization videos, I think they are my favorite, they get me giddy when they come up in my feed, hence the long winded reply!

Always good to get things organized so you can more easily find what you need. Adam, you mentioned bus bars in two places. You mentioned consistency but you didn't use a black tape label for the drawer with the soldering supplies. For the switches drawer I would have labelled it specifically as pushbutton switches vs toggle switches for the other drawer. I would put a label on the miscellaneous parts drawer to provide some indication of what is inside it or you won't look inside there very often for things. You may not feel the need to do so but it might help when you have someone in the shop with you to help out on a build.

I always label my wall warts on a piece of tape large enough to read with their voltage and current ratings, polarity, and if it's something particularly weird, I note what it was originally intended for. Also, any device that uses a wall wart, if it didn't come labeled with the V/A/polarity on it, I label the device as well. Then it becomes less important to keep things together.

Years ago I was remodeling a house and I was constantly looking for my tools. I took a day off the project and went to my dad's shop and built 4 tool totes. They're built out of 3/4" plywood so you can stand on them or stack them and put a plank atop them to use as a makeshift workbench. They have compartmentalized drawers that hold just the tools they were meant to hold. One of them holds a basic carpentry tool kit. Another for electrical work. The third for plumbing and the last one for drywall and painting jobs. Now when I have to tackle a job, I just grab the appropriate box and I know I have the tools to get 90% there. I might need to bring some specific tools to add on as needed and I'm good to go! It's a game changer!!

It's so awesome how deeply you think about this stuff and everything you've shared with us. Anyone who is at the cusp of building and maintaining a shop would find this stuff a treasure trove of applied knowledge and insight gained the hard way. A shop infrastructure and organizing series play list would be a great resource if it doesn't exist already. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I enjoyed this episode sooo much. Adam’s stream of consciousness type episodes make me want to do more around my own space more than watching him build; although I like watching builds too

You know that sliding storage they use in achieves and museums? Well you can also set out work stations in them alongside general storage!! So you could turn the handle have your drill press come up, turn it again and your miter saw comes up all ready to use!! 👍👍👍

I am on the other side of the country and I would like some of that stuff that you have in electronics too bad I do not live close to you Adam I love that shop of yours I would love to see you work on some of your projects and I loved MythBusters as a Fan and a maker And that’s how you /Jamie got me into making when I was a kid by watching MythBusters/MythBusters Junior and savage I think you for all the TV hijinks that you put on discovery as a fan I deeply thank you for all those projects I wish you were still on television making projects with Grant/Tori/ Carrie andJamie.

I believe storage will be the first great victory of A.I. Just keep everything in randomly stuffed bins and let your A.I. robot assistant remember which bin you tossed something in and retrieve it for you :-).

If a person would stick to the system, you could organize storage like your computer hard drive organizes things. You would need a list, preferably digital, of where things are. Then you just go to the next open box, dump things in it, and log in the computer. When you want something, look it up on the computer and go right to it. I think this would work better for the medium and long term storage than the things you need everyday/week storage. If it's something you need once a year it can be in a box on the top shelf in the attic, as long as you can quickly find it. I've spent a lot of time looking for things that are in my workshop but that could be in one of a half dozen places. I have some storage boxes with a piece of paper taped to the outside with a list of what is in the box.
