  • 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.

      @swantzter Před 7 lety +2

      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.

    Those 'wall space' draws with the air tools and paint cans is a brilliant idea, I'm always trying to find and organize mine that are piled on a shelf

  • @MrChief101
    @MrChief101 Před 7 lety

    Crazy cool, Frank! My envy meter is pegged. VERY nice monster giant 3D printer-- I presume a rather soon future show detailing everything about it?
    AND the place is clean. 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 😯

    That's awesome! Congratulations, Frank, on the upgrades, everything looks so nice! Also, congrats on the amount of work you're getting!
    Damn, seeing that space makes me want to work there.
    But... That chop saw there. Isn't it a bit unsafe with the casters not being locked in place?

    Vertical drawers look so awesome to be tidy. I think I will try to use it for clothes. I keep pileing stuff in front of the closet and not use the back.

    • @dio52
      @dio52 Před 7 lety +1

      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.

  • @davidgedlinskeiii6421
    @davidgedlinskeiii6421 Před 5 lety

    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.

    @mikeknight42 Před 7 lety

    Love those tools hooked up in the middle with the chargers on it, but hooking up a new charger seems like a 2 man job ... extension cord and power strip would fix that lickty split though.

  • @miketeet3708
    @miketeet3708 Před 7 lety

    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.

    @cemx86 Před 7 lety +1

    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
      @NickFajardo Před 7 lety +1

      You can also get the even cheaper versions at HarborFrieght

    • @cemx86
      @cemx86 Před 7 lety +1

      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
      @FrankIppolito Před 7 lety +5

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