      IMO, seems like the big channels are just sponsor sell outs. If it works, more power to them. I just prefer to make things on a budget. And most of the time, the tools are budget friendly.

      There are plenty already. Try 'Darren's workshop' - he has done dozens of videos on this topic. Many of my own toolholders are printed, and I use printed trays for components, color coded to the size. Tool handles, jigs, clips, there is no end...

    A guide to 3D printing for woodworkers? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I'm interested in 3D printing, especially what it can do for home and shop organization, but I know absolutely nothing about it, and I've stayed on the fence about buying a printer because I'm afraid of investing a bunch of money into it, only to find that I should have bought X instead of Y. I'd love what you've done on the topic of woodworking, so I feel I could trust the thoughts and advice you'd include in a 3D printing guide.

    • @TheRealPlato
      @TheRealPlato Před 4 měsíci

      i am a novice to both woodworking and 3d printing. I paid $220 for Neptune 3 Pro, I am finding it useful and fun and infinitely easier than the options that I looked at in 2012 and 2020. The printer has good hardware, but I have some small complaints about its software. Bambu Labs is considered top of the line. Ankermake M5C is a sub-$500 option that (based only on youtube research) would be my pick if I wanted the cheapest printer that Just Works and is easy to operate.
      I use Blender for modeling. OnShape is probably better for you. MakersMuse has an excellent video titled "Selecting a free 3D CAD option" discussing differences and has modeling tutorials too.

    I luv my pegboard. My shop is constantly evolving and keeping things seen and not hoarded has made this constant evolution the most efficient at reorganizing. Pegboard 4 feet down from the 8 foot ceiling covers 3 out of 4 walls of my shop. I had to cover it with something so this made it look consistent in spite of things constantly moving. From building projects to staining lawn furniture to bike club meetings to snowblower tuneup with half a dozen neighbours to having a beer while sweeping up at days end. After 40 years in my shop putting everything on wheels, good lighting, and pegboard were 3 of my better decisions. Heating the shop was the absolute best decision I ever made. Buying a huge box of pegboard hooks from a shop shutdown sale still leaves me with hanging options.

    I have my small shop somewhat organized…..one of the best feelings in the world is after I get through working on a project, when I hang everything back up and put everything back in its place, then vacuum up all the saw dust and blow all the remaining dust out with my air hose. Everything is organized and clean for the moment.
    It’s like a blank canvas and I’m ready to start creating again 😎

    YES!!! 3D Printing for woodworkers!!! I bought my 3D printer about 6 months ago and have been printing battery holders and other things I can find online to have better organization in my shop. My biggest problem is finding free files that are specific to woodworkers. I haven't yet had the time to learn the software to create my own files and would love to have more options for the things I use daily. As soon as I do, I would be more than willing to share my files for free. Maybe a 3D printing series that would demonstrate how to create these files? That "wood" be much appreciated (see what I did there :))

    This is great. I too am a big fan of Mr. Savage's perspectives on shop infrastructure. He's quite intuitive and wise about how he organizes his space. I've been doing similar things, at times making a whole weekend around tool storage and cleaning up as well.
    The only thing I do really different from you is that when I make specific tool holders, I mount them to French cleats on my walls, so I don't have to think about where the tool storage goes in the moment too hard. You can always change things up at the drop of a hat. French cleats were a game changer for me.

  • @rodgerbright3764
    @rodgerbright3764 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Excellent! For years, I’ve been using plywood as my backdrop. The main differences, I simply paint mine with chalkboard paint, and then use different lengths of gold screws with a little bit of tubing over it, and then I placed my tools extremely close together, and then outline them with a piece of chalk. Moving things around is super simple.I only make actual holders like you have when the tool absolutely requires it. But similar concepts and I really like. I’m going to incorporate some of your ideas.

    @BigBadBaj71 Před 6 měsíci

    I decided to put this on in the background as I was waking up...I work third shift. Unfortunately been out of work for a while due to some as of yet unknown medical reason but I digress, I've been spending the time in the basement getting my old workbench / shop area in working order again. It's been about 10 years since I really used it. Life happens and it was always a place I could escape to, And I needed it now. It was hidden under 15 years of accumulation of now passed friends and family member's tools/stuff(some I had to look up online because I didn't know what it was or what it did). When you said "He who works with his mind must rest with his hands" I had to rewind it and listen again because that's what I've been doing my whole life but never heard it put to words. You've gained a new subscriber, not that I watch a lot but....
    I've had to figure out ways to hang everything from the big floor beams overhead because the walls are made of the rock from the river 300 yd away and impossible to mount shelves or pegboard on.

  • @normanbott
    @normanbott Před 6 měsíci

    Totally agree with the pegboard rite of passage. I started with that and the awful Terry spring clips !
    My wall mounted tool cabinet has all the custom shaped wooden holders, including in the 2 fully opening doors.
    Drill bits, Forstners, sanding drums etc on the wall behind /next to drill press.
    As a hobbyist , time is precious so a well organised shop means more productivity and a whole lot less stress for me.
    Brilliant video.

    Very helpful! I was looking forward to this video. My town has about 2000 people. Harbor Freight, Lowe's and Walmart are like 20 miles away. Most of my tools are from the cheap seats but I still like them meticulously organized and cared for. My chisels are all really cheap Harbor Freight and box store stuff and after some work on them, they are excellent tools. Some of my most treasured tools are from garage sales, church fundraising tools sales and thrift stores. I got a Stanley Bailey 4 1/2 hand plane for like 17 bucks! Anyway thanks a bunch for cool videos.

    I've been convinced i need French cleats but this helped me realize that while i still think cleats are awesome, i don't need them for everything. I've seen dozens of CZcams videos and most are really the same but this is the first one in a while that i found really unique. It triggered my thinking, gave me some ideas and got me excited. Great job. I'm excited to see more from you.

    just found your channel AND I am already a subscriber, amazing video. there is a real psy value in organizing and decluttering, it start with simple stuff, like your desk or a drawer and payback big times, then, when it jumps to a higher level, like a complete shop (and what a shop you have Sir) then it can really be a transforming experience, because from that point on, you will not apporoach any stuff in life like you previously did... it is like doing thing (any and every thing) witha "less clutter" mentality, which most of the time means also less waste of resource et all. truly an inspiring video, thanks a lot for sharing

    I put up peg-board years ago and I hate it as well. It's really fun when you're grabbing something from it and end up knocking something else off. I have made a few nice holders right beside the peg-board but I just decided that the peg-board is coming down this weekend.

Also I’d love to see more about your Ron Paulk style drawers, I’ve been wanting build a similar bank of drawers for my shop, I even bought the smart trailer plans back in 2020 to do just that. The video you did for him actually brought me to your channel. I must say I’ve not been disappointed. Keep up the great work and thank you for the inspiration.

    For foam used in drawers, I've had success using a router with a straight router bit to cut out the shapes of tools. I did it free hand, but first, I traced around the tools with a razor knife. It more or less scores the "skin" or the foam, leaving clean lines around the edges.

    I covered my first shop in our basement utility room with four walls of pegboards! I was so proud. Making your own tool holders was such a revelation. I use those peg boards now to hang an eclectic mix of all the crap I make. It's ever-changing. It's like a museum exhibit. So I guess it's good for that. After this video, I think you have convinced me to get rid of the last remnants of pegboard in my new show. Really great Ideas! Thanks.

    Release the 3D printing video! One of my favorite things about your videos is the stories woven throughout. I’d almost be more interested in the stories behind your 3D printing over the actual content! They are all very inspiring!

    Great advice. I caught the French Cleat virus, and it transformed my 1-car garage shop. I found great enjoyment in creating & building the “fixtures“ for the wall. Love the twist on your usual tool brand humor (“WoodFreight” square, red “Hart” square). Seriously, I’m going to try to remember & apply the 1st, 2nd, 3d order of priority use something or other.

    Just found your video and I think you are one of the best I have watched and am learning from. Keep them coming. Would love to learn how to use a 3D printer. I haven't bought one because I don't know much about them to spend that kind of money on it. I am 76 and just got into woodworking 3 years ago. I got hooked on Festool and Harvey. Bad for a retired old man. Ty

    GREAT stuff! I have picked up some neat tips for tool holders from this video. My 'tool wall' is actually several areas of plywood throughout the shop, as I've NEVER been a Fench Cleat fan. Your holders fastened with just a few brad nails is still VERY 'rearrangeable' (if that is a word), and only a couple of pin holes to fill in.

    I am not a creator, nor will I ever have the ability to be one. But I am an admirer of those who create, using simple and accessible materials, ideas and tools. Genius is almost always in the ability to simplify what seems complex. Your channel is still modest, I understand, but there are channels with millions of followers that are much less interesting. I hope you never lose your simplicity. Accept a European hug!

  • @slowfinger2
    @slowfinger2 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Excellent stuff. I worked in many different shops, and have rigged up many variations. The one tip above others, is to keep bench clearance of at least six inches from the bottom of hanging tools. Sweep up is easier, and safer under chisels. Screw boxes and temporary stuff can slide in below. Far less likely to knock a tool off it's perch. More effective bench room.

  • @lucasjw

    Love to see a video on 3D printing - basics, woodworking related, but also those tool holders you have that flex to hold things. How do you design, size, and generally plan for elements you intend to have flex as part of the piece’s overall function.

    @EngineerMikeF Před 6 měsíci +1

    If U have lavish wall space, Witt's solutions look great. If you are space constrained its better if tools stick out from the wall instead of laying flat to use less wall space per tool (e g. Carpenters square). The purchased hammer rack is a good example out stacking deep instead of flat

    @wittworks you’re welcome 😉 I really like some of these storage solutions, I might have to upgrade some of the tool holders on my triangular lazy Susan cart! I am really happy to have been able to be at least some small inspiration. The “yes, and” vibe really resonates with me, and it’s cool to see it in action.

    This is maybe the best CZcams video I've ever seen. I'm going to watch this in slow motion over and over. It's mind melting how many ideas are here. PLEASE do the 3D printing video. I love 3D printing and designing in Fusion360, but struggle with reasons to use it. Is the Shaper Frame useful for 3D printing? I had dismissed it because I don't have an Origin or a laser.

    Regarding 3D printing insight please do! I’d like to see how you go from initial conception to actual modeling on your computer to finished piece. What is your editorial process? How do you get the design into the machine?

    Great video! I saw Adam as a keynote speaker at a conference I went to (Strange Loop) and he talked about 1st order retrievability and he is really passionate about it. I believe the end quote was "F*** drawers!". +1 for a 3d print for woodworkers, I find my printer super useful in making jigs, weird sized hole guides, corner radius jigs, etc, etc.
