      Cheers Marshall. The foam I’m on the fence about the space it takes up is crazy BUT the caveat is if a tool is missing you know what it is prior to the next time I need it. Mechanics tools I feel that’s a huge plus as always loosing those tools, especially 10mm socket 😂

    Nice shop cart - every wood shop should have one and mechanics tool chests just don't cut it. I made my years ago during a home renovation using construction grade lumber left over from the reno - re-use, recycle, repurpose. I just added a "wall cabinet" mounted above the work surface. Actually came across your channel looking for ideas for the build and have stuck around for all your videos since.

    • @HewAndAwe
      @HewAndAwe  Před 8 měsíci

      Anything you would change with the cart you made dude? Thanks for sticking with me, it’s a bit tough at the mo to get vids done..

    • @hamishkirkness6933
      @hamishkirkness6933 Před 7 měsíci +1

      The "cart" I built has 5 drawers at 1200w x 600d - 2 ea 75h, 2 ea 150h and 1ea 300h. I am a Heavy Equipment Mechanic by trade so design was based on what I like about HD tool boxes but sized and using materials friendly to my woodworking tools. Because I didn't have a fixed idea of what I was going to put in each draw while I keep adding to my collection, I was slow to put in dividers to organize stuff, so, yeah, I would get on organizers sooner rather than later.
      IMHO, if you are running out of steam to get vids done, I would rather wait longer between videos until you are excited about sharing a project or having a rant than seeing you hitting burn out and throwing in the towel. Have you thought about building a wooden boat? That will get your head going - nothing but curves but they all have to be straight. Haha.
      Hang in there dude and keep doing what you love.

    Great vid. I am curious, why did you rip the big slab into so many pieces, then glue them back together, instead of cutting two parallel, straight edges on the slab? Is it only design (visual) choice, or does it serve a role in the block's resistance to stress?

    • @HewAndAwe
      @HewAndAwe  Před 7 měsíci

      Thank you for the compliment. Seasonal movement, a board expands and contracts mostly across the face of the board, rip it and flip it then the seasonal movement will mainly expand and contract upwards instead of side to side, hope that make sense?
