    Dear April,
    I really love what you do. It's so inspiring. I live on a small farm in Germany and bought a Woodmizer a few months ago. After watching all of your videos i started with woodworking and I really love building sawhorses. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. Keep on doing what you do.
    Greetings from Germany,

  • @hannesaltenfelder4302
    @hannesaltenfelder4302 Před 10 měsíci

    2:50 best solution for most of my items.
    1. It's universal. You don't want a storage where only one particular tool fits in like those holes, where only one size of a drill fits.
    2. You can see it all. No need to open any boxes to look for stuff.
    3. Doesn't use much space. It's hanging on a wall, but vertically. Horizontal cupboards usually waste a lot of space.
    4. If you need to change your workspace you can easily take it down and hang it up elsewhere.

    This in fantastic April. I especially like the idea of the electrical boxes for storage. While watching this I was already planning a jig to hold the electrical boxes to a piece on the backside of my table saw to collect small pieces for segmented bowls. I love all of your quick tip videos as well as your whole channel in general.

    -Cover the magnet for the drill press in plasti-dip or resin. If not it will break over time from the key hitting it
    -Use a wire nut to seal silicone caulk.

    Great tips, many I'd never seen before.
    For the drill press, I fabricate a wooden block and U bolt it to the column near the head. In the wood block I have holes for the chuck key and the most common bits. Also I hang the common toe clamps and such there too.

  • @MrTarfu

    A good addition to the magnet drill chuck holder is to add a retractable keychain thing to it so that its tethered to the place and can't possibly be put anywhere else.

    Speed square under bench hanger too. Awesome... the hidden bonus workshop storage solution. Those Smartjars seem good. Even better might be a square version to utilize more volume in the same surface area while still leaving enough room for gripping to grab and pull out.

  • @iguesi
    @iguesi Před 3 lety +1

    I don't want storage above the surface of the workbench. It will get in the way. I put the magnet on top of my drill press. Nice idea for a tape rack... you could also use it for a paper towel roll. Thanks for the tips. Back in the day... grandpa would attach a mason jar lid to the bottom of a shelf. He'd put nails, screws, bolts, nuts, etc... in the jar and just store it quickly by screwing into the mounted lid.

    • @jackmaher4466
      @jackmaher4466 Před 3 lety +1

      I used Red Oak plywood for the wall of my watch repair shop. I am selective where I drill holes though as it is a nice finish. But that was the original reason I chose plywood. It does work great. Also my shop can be taken down easily as it is all screwed together. If needed.

    @April Wilkerson I just received the reply back from SmartJars concerning the Food Safe plastics.
    Regarding your question on food safety. The plastic we use to mold our jar and lids are safe for food storage. (Technically, the plastic meets U.S. CFR Title 21, Part 177, Subpart B, Section 177.1520 (c) 3.1a entitled “Olefin Polymers” of the Food Additives Amendment of 1958 to the United States Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938.)
    Of course, as with any purchased product, you’ll want to wash these with regular dish detergent prior to use. Also, if you put these in the dishwasher, you’ll want to use the top rack only.

    I always store my glue bottles upside down to prevent the dried film on the inside of the nozzle. It also leaves the glue ready to flow immediately upon use. I set them inside of plastic cups so they will stand up and I can set them on any surface where I'm working.
