    The area in my wood shop near the CNC machine has become very cluttered. I would really like to build a storage system in this location to help store all of the CNC tools and jigs. In addition, I have always wanted to make a place to store all of the screws, nuts, and bolts in the shop. Right now these things are scattered about in different locations and it's oftentimes hard to find the right fastener when I need it. The storage system I would like to make is a series of 4' tall by 16" square boxes. These can be cut from a 4’ by 8’ sheet of plywood with very little waste. I can hang these boxes on the wall with my French cleat system. I can separate the boxes with space for larger items to be stored between the boxes. It’s a little bit as though the boxes are the solids or the positive space and the space between the boxes makes a void or the negative space. This creates a system for larger and long items as well as very small items and everything in between.

      Yep. IKEA Sektion can work, but if you have the tools Frank has, and that IKEA is closed (in-store), I would build them. (Sektion is fast if your need 5-6 cabinets, and can hang easily on metal cleat. And doors are cheap, with easy to setup hinges. But you are looking at ~$25-45/cabinet, plus more for hinges, doors, rail, , still cheaper than white laminate, shelf-pin jig, etc)

There is no way I would ever use the imperial system as a choice. Imperial is convoluted and cumbersome. Metric is superior. The whole world knows this, that is why we all changed. .. except the USA

    • @lightaces
      @lightaces Před 4 lety +2

      Smudger Dave French cleats are incredibly strong. The force on them is all straight down compression, very little lateral or torque. So, the weight gets pretty evenly distributed in line with the wall.

    • @johnd5805
      @johnd5805 Před 4 lety +3

      Only if it's fastened to the wall good enough. I'm sure Frank has it fastened good enough. The shear strength of a screw depending on what type of screw will be anywhere from 200 pounds on up. So if there are 3 or four screws per cabinet width your looking at a whole lot of capacity. Throw in the strength of the glue with the screws and it'll hold alrighty.

    • @l213112502
      @l213112502 Před 4 lety +6

      I was thinking the same thing. They could take the weight, but seems like an uncomfortable amount of load with the fully loaded drawers. Maybe a good solution here would be to have feet on the lower cabinets, as these will probably have the heavier stuff in them. Easy enough to add the feet later on too.

    • @ForeverMasterless
      @ForeverMasterless Před 4 lety +5

      Saw a 290 pound dude hang from a french cleat cabinet already full of paint, wd40, and engine oil once, so probably 340 pounds all told. I'm no architect, but I'm guessing it'll be fine. As I understand it the most important thing is how and what you've used to fasten the cleat that's in the wall, because any glue/screws/nails will always fail before the cleat does. Frank installed that cleat system forever ago, it runs the entire perimeter of his shop, and it's directly tied into the studs with thick wood screws that probably have a sheer strength of over a thousand pounds. He's already been using it to hang tons of heavy shit, such as the bowl blanks directly above this system.

    Absolutely amazing. Great work. I was inspired bye you turning bowls to get into lathe work. Set up my table. Got my chop saw ready. Experimented with crap wood making glue ups for bowls. Started looking for a lathe, then BANG, i realized something. You cant just turn bowls in your garage where all your cars, tools, golf bags etc are. You need a confined area and dust collection. Thus, i need to slow the whole process down. LOL
