The fact that so many are suggesting “tweaks” to your design shows you are a massive success - your approach makes people *think* which means you inspire people which is what YT should do.

@thoskins202 11 ай бұрын

My favorite part of your videos is how you explain your thinking process, and go over why you made the decisions that you did.

I am very thankful for the kzfaq.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO that has been a tremendous help to me in building a perfect outdoor shed. I have been facing many challenges and difficulties for a long time, but this plan has guided me to correct the mistakes during the process. I am impressed by the projects and I express my gratitude to the creator of this collection of plans.

Many of the other creators call their projects "ultimate" but they look and function like everyone else's. But this, this project truly is deserving of the word ultimate! Subscribed!

I have to admit that half way through I thought this is proper KZfaq project - looks impressive, but no one will actually build something like this for own use only. I was wrong. It looks really functional and makes a lot of sense for a small work room. Great editing as well. No minutes and minutes of table saw cutting and glueing up layers of planks. Just the essence of the project. Well done!

@ericheft6184 3 ай бұрын

It is an interesting idea. I really like how the 3d printed parts looked even if no one will ever see them. I like how everything gets shut away so when you are using the shop hopefully it helps cut down on the dust. With all that said, I'm one of those people who can't find anything unless its in plain sight so this would likely drive me nuts.

@guilleport Ай бұрын

You got a good 👍 point on that. It's like having everything in a black box or a drawer. It will be hard to find, only if you have like a plan or list telling the location of each tool.

Lots of thoughtful yet simple details in this one project, practical and inspirational for us part-time hobbyists with small shop space. You explain your project goals and design reasoning very well. Also enjoyed the cavalier disregard at 16:49 😄 I'd like to see more of your tool holder ideas, and a follow-up on the cabinet after living with it for a while.

@zaenbaker1427 11 ай бұрын

the only thing I would add, is a bit of cord or chain, to support the bottom door when open, so you can use it as a surface when open so you can use both hands when organizing or retrieving tools

@Zogg1281 11 ай бұрын

I just remembered another great addition to a tool storage ...... Lavels where you might have a screw or nail all by its self. In the past I've gone down the route of painting the board and marking round the tool, as well as tags on string hanging from the nails, but at the end of the day it boils down to one thing....... remembered what the missing item is!! I've done jobs that end up with tools in multiple locations as well as being in temporary tool boxes...... I've also had a wife "borrow" a tool and it just vanishes. With some sort of label system you will know exactly what is missing from your board straight away, which means looking for it is a LOT easier! I hope this helps someone and, as always, great job on both the build and the instructions on making and assembly 😊👍👍👍👍

@chrishepburn7538 11 ай бұрын

@stephendonathan6782 11 ай бұрын

Great cabinet! I've been wanting to build a tool cabinet for my wood shop but just haven't got around to it. I think another great idea for your cabinet would be to use your bottom door as a table. You could put a small chain on each end. I know you wouldn't be able to put heavy stuff on it but it could hold your tools as you select them. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!

I like the new tool storage but wonder if moving the panels will 'get old' in time. Absolutely want to see a video on making the tool holders. That was one of my favorites parts of your french cleat wall. Had you considered having the bottom door open to horizontally flat so that it can be used as a "staging table" when adding/removing tools? Are you giving up on your french cleat system? So glad you are back on creative workshop projects!

@thisisyourcaptin 11 ай бұрын

I worry about that. BUT, if you are limit on space, like I am, This make a load of sense keeping things where you can find them, vers hunt for them. As of now I have a similar working area and all the tools he hung are my go to and are stored all over. This would keep them right where I can get them quick AND have a home for them in the future to GET them quick. It definitely has a home in many peoples lives. Not all, but many.

@bobdove6068 11 ай бұрын

One of the comments below was to leave off the doors to get quicker access to the tools. Maybe add more tools to the outside of the doors for even more storage. 🤪 I like it as it is personally. Well done.

I have an unfortunately shallow garage I want to use for both mechanical and wood work. It poses 2 issues. First one is there's not a pile of room when the car is in to be worked on so the usual tool box in front of the hood is a bit of a problem. The second is dual purpose shops get dust on everything exposed. Your project just solved both! Amazing. Great video.

@ruinunes8251 11 ай бұрын

That is a very neat project. For some time I'm planning something like that for my garage but, frame wise, much easier and on larger scale. I already have some sliding shelves in my garage and for lubrication, I used an ancient method that still in use today in some industries, which is wax. I would use a metal strip under the bearings because soon, with the weight of the tools, you will have a groove where the bearings run.

@sergioferreirs69 11 ай бұрын

I like the idea of the metal strip under the bearings. I also always use wax to lubricate on wood but I've found an even better option.... Butchers block wax! It's a combination of Bees wax and Mineral oil which goes on easy, especially in a narrow groove like that.

Like everything you make the doors are awesome. I think I’d prefer no doors to get and see tools easier. Looks amazing and maybe if it’s not in a shop space the doors make it look clean and organized. In a shop I’d be hanging stuff on the top sides and bottom of the case. The additional surface area gained by using dimensions off the wall are great.
