- No talking, no music. Just sounds of the shop. How I cut and cauterize the foam inserts in my tool box. A little OCD, but keeps em secure. You may find this informative, relaxing, entertaining, or just enjoy the asmr sounds of the process. Thanks so much for watching, and let me know how I can improve in the comments!

Toolbox foam: amzn.to/2ytACKH
Propane torch: amzn.to/2SZPsBX
Japanese marking knife: amzn.to/2Ov0oJk
Wood rasp set: amzn.to/2LV39Bv
Card scraper/burnisher set: amzn.to/2YzsV4u

Have you tried using a CNC router bit in your drill press? It is my preferred method of doing this. I trace the shapes just like you did, then set the depth on my drill press, lower the bit into the middle of a shape then slide the foam around to cut out the foam. I love the perfectly smooth bottom of the cut out and I get cleaner edges as well. You can even get fancy and make the handle parts deeper by just adjusting the height on your drill press a few times while tracing the handle area. You can also use the angle on your drill press to have the foam overlap the object being stored to really hold it in place, especially if you are cutting the foam for a case that might be moved around or even set down upside down.
TY for NOT adding music. So many youtubers are ruining videos with music. you rock.
I got you 👊
You have no idea, how satisfying that was to watch. No music or commentary needed, just the sweet sound of OCD playing in the background...
🙏🙏
Great idea, i will do this for sure. But, i will have two pieces of foam that together will be as thick as your piece of foam. Cut all the way through on one piece of the foam and then glue the other under it. This would ensure a much nicer base perhaps. Thanks for this video!! :)
Good idea!
I like this idea and was thinking that's how I'd do it. I think that'd be easier for someone like me without a propane torch. I can just use my utility knife to make the cut-outs.
@@BlacktailStudio Have second foam in a different color and then you easily see what is missing. Also makes you feel guilty for not putting them back in the correct place every time
You dont need foam at the bottom, just a regular toolbox liner, or something else thin, to maximize drawer space
The pipe idea to make finger whole was amazing love this well done
Thanks Scott!
LOVE THIS VIDEO! A project I could actually do!!! Thank you!
Please make more videos just like this. No music no talking. Still has sound but slightly speed up video. These are perfect for relaxation for insomniacs like me. There are a tone of us out here.
You got it
First saw this many moons ago in a squadron maintenance shop in the AF. Now I know how they did the cutouts so precisely. Note: they must have had half the thickness foam sheet of yours, because by painting the bottom of the drawer bright yellow, taking a glance through dozens of drawer at the end of shifts could show quickly which tools weren't accounted for. Cool.
Thanks Christopher!
Nice, and hope you have fun with the rest of the drawers, i would.
Nice collection of rasps!
Thank you for the videos with very little sound, I get to watch while putting the little one to bed. I love all your videos. Very informative. I can even say professional in your newer videos where your anticipating the questions and answering in advance.
Happy hour with hubs and he played this! I am crazy ocd with everything! So I’m watching this and loving it and then asked hubs how I would retrieve the buried (and beautifully organized items) without breaking my nails 🤨 then you heated the copper pipe and I gasped! Yeasss!!!! You’re brilliant! My hubs is cringing! 😂 his garage space is getting a quarantine makeover!!
Thanks for sharing!!
My wife does the same 😂
I have always wanted to do this. So nice
Loved the video! As you said, no talking, no music, no bs...just a great informative video! 🙂Little things like using the heated copper pipe to make the finger holes to grab the tools easier, and how you made the heater tool cutters. One thing if I could ask, is if you could update your Amazon link to the foam, because if Im going to order some, I'd like you to get the credit through the affiliate link.
Leave the allen wrench in tact and put it into the wood handle as is. Let it stick out an inch or a little more. Then when you heat the allen wrench it will help to cut the bottom of the foam if you just give it a 1/4 turn when melting. Also I was thinking that if there is a way to attach to a solder gun tip that would work too ! Cheers ! :-)
I wish I had one of these when I was hand cutting foam with an exactoknife for dozens of airframe toolboxes in the Marines
I thought this kind of foam was supposed to pull out in layers....it seems you were left with a pretty rough bottom. I think the end result is dope and I don’t care what people say. There’s a reason why aviation and other highly organized trades do this...no missing tools, quick cleanup, quick access.
Ir doesn’t come out as clean as they say. At least for me. And thanks!
Genius!!
Cam, if you were OCD, you'd LASER cut 1" foam on a CNC then glue it to another 1" slab and have the most perfectest tool drawer liner. Love your work and videos with or without narration.
I am jumping on this late, and have a few suggestions for anyone wanting to do this.
-- Use not a silver Sharpie? (Cam, I'm genuinely not taking a dig at you, unlike my opening remark, which definitely is.)
-- Search for 'soldering iron foam cutter'. If that is an option, it makes for a very effective/efficient cutting tool.
-- This method is excellent for a DIY bespoke tool arrangement. For an alternative arrangement approach (yes), see Adam Savage's foam core tool drawer organization video.
This is so ingenious. I am copying this for my own tool box. I hate how my chisels and some other things roll around in the shelf. I think I'm going to do this for my telescope equipment, too!
Nice!
#ASMR!!! Man, this video sounds awesome!
Oh yes finally and ASMR channel I can get behind
I got you 🙏🙏
Great video! Totally enjoyed it! My question is a departure from your project but hoping for a satisfactory outcome. I have a lot of walnut but nothing that is close to 2” thick. My son wants a walnut table that is 2” thick. My objective is to use two pcs of 3/4” MDF laminated to make a core of 1 1/2” and then apply a 12” walnut veneer on the top and edges using tight bond lll to adhere it. Am I wasting my time and materials attempting this? Would appreciate your comments/advise.
Thanks, Gerry
Pipe idea is genius
I bought a little bunsen burner to connect to a propane tank for just this purpose 👍 I do a LOT of foam work for mould form making and get sick of the electric carvers getting cool in the cut. Using simple carbon steel (old bandsaw blades) in wooden handles and the bunsen is much quicker.
Nice!
Has anyone mentioned leaving the bent metal on so you can undercut, and possibly have a better finish by not tearing so much out by hand?
Hadn’t thought of that!
Yup also just make the heated cutting stylus out of piano wire or old nicrome wire from an electric clothes dryer element or tig welding filler rod wire.
Hell yeah! I didn't know you are a fellow Oregonian. Great video, little jealous of your tool collection, and GO BEAVS!
Go Beavs!
I suggest cutting the initial size of the foam with a table saw - you will get the cleanest uniform cut. With a knife, the blade always bows to one side :-) I’ve cut so many sheets of this stuff
Hi thanks for this, I have a project which I need to use foam and as the items have curves I was wondering how I could get the curves cut. Thanks.
Happy to help!
About to do a LOT of shadowing & am lookin around for an easier/faster way than the tracing & Xacto knife method I've used in the past. Re-heating that tool so much seems like it'd be frustrating and stinky. I don't have to dig any foam out of the bottom because my holes will go all the way through so as to reveal a different color foam mat underneath (job requirement). I'm thinking about a reciprocating saw or Dremel with a saw/cutoff attachment. _Anything_ but an Xacto because that sucks!
Cam Nice trick with heating the copper tube.
awesome
Howdy Cam...I've been doing some research (umm, video watching) on how to shape/cut foam for a few of my projects, came across yours (been watching your table builds for awhile). Saw your video on foam cutting, INSTA-CLICK!!
However, your link to the type of foam you use is a dead link. It goes to the Amazon site but it says it couldn't find it.
Could you elaborate on the type of foam you used. Was/is it Faizen? How do you like it?
Thanks
i want some of this stuff so bad. my crappy workbench with drawers wont be around long though so im waiting til i make the new one to invest in the kaizen
what is that strait edge! i want one
Veritas
Love the pipe idea for picking the tools out. I was trying to figure out why you were heating the pipe up before you did!
Yeah, works great!
Pssst" where did you purchase the foam blocks? Also cut block in half long ways and depth to tools then glue back together
OOHRAH! Semper Fi
I just got a packout tool case with foam and wondering what the best way is to cut it, does this method not create a hard crust? I've been thinking of a commercial laser engraver but I figured even that would make a crust along the cut
I was wondering about a soldering iron
Love the quiet - never of a fan of the acid rock greeting. Nice video!
Cheers!
I have OCD a too, your totally OCD , awesome.
Cheers!
Accidentally clicked the link to this video... And holee crap I'm glad I did.
What did you put on the end of those allen keys when you inserted them into the wood? Where did you get the wood from?
Just a wood dowel. And I think super glue
Where did you get the foam and what kind of foam
OCD maybe but what a convenience and what a result👍🏻
Thank ya 👊
No problem!
I really need to do this for my tool boxes, so much clutter. But I dread doing it because I have around ten years worth of tools I collected, probably over 1,800 pieces. Going to take a long time to do it.
Oh ya. That’s a time investment
can someone please tell me what is this black soft material and how can I find it.?
is it thermal insulation material for walls.?
I want to make some storage boxes for my photography lenses with a material like this inside
Kaizen foam 👍🏼
I love this but I can’t imagine how annoying it was to heat up constantly. I’m also aware I’m 4 yrs late oops and I’m quite stupid but would a soldering iron work?
Heard a Dad joke the other day you might enjoy. Can't remember exact wording but I'll do my best.
"I'm so good at cutting wood I can cut it just by looking at it. I "Saw" it in my mind"
Haha!!
Hi Blacktail Studio. Great work here. I went on the amazon link to purchase this foam, but I think it may be old. You happen to remember the foam brand?
Kaizen 👍🏼
Love this! But your finger pull holes were uneven. I guess my OCD goes to 11.
My wife is real OCD. She said the same thing. I’m still an amateur
Preciso saber o nome desse material por favor!..
The foam link in the description no longer works. Do you have an alternate link, or the name of the foam? Thanks.
It’s Kaizen foam. I’ll try and update it
Looks great! Could you have cut the foam on the CNC?
Sure could have... if I had a CNC... or the brainpower to work one.
Thanks for not adding pointless music. Narration is helpful in these kind of vids but was still good content.
Hey what type off foam is this I’m interested to try
Kaizen
Definitely liked it without your voice, but still something in me, missed the sound of your voice 🤣 great vid!
Kewl.
Breaking-down the foam: Use your table saw. Top quality, fast, easy.
Electric hot knives, available in many sizes, make cutting boundaries easy. Same for finger holes & flattening bottoms.
Looks great, but i'm not sure why some tools you cut half and melted half. Other tools you melted all or cut all. Did you like the finished result of the cut or melted parts better?
Basically, curved is better melted. Straight is better cut.
This is how most videos should be made. No talking, sped up speed as appropriate, to the point! Thank you! I hit the like button, I hope u Tube works out well for you!
So I spent New Years Eve looking around for Kaizen sheets.
Is it me or is this stuff super expensive?
Amazon wanted close to 60 bucks a sheet. Am I searching wrong?
I don’t remember it costing that much. I’ll have to look again. I should have stuff linked below
Great ideas, great work!
But this is not OCD worthy and in fact its messing with mine. Those finger holes are all over the place.
There is no need to go as deep as you do in so many of those. You can layer them so the handles are deep but the blades are sitting up high.
Fair!
Right... his definition of ocd and my definition are nowhere near the same.
What is the benefit of cutting and cauterizing? Seems like it would be either or.
Easier to cauterize curves. Easier to cut straight.
cutting for straight lines and cauterizing for following odd shapes. it's not easy to cut curvy lines in foam. especially with tight radii.
Oh! I feel pain seeing you cutting hardened Allen wrenches with pliers and hack saw. I would use a grinding disk to cut hard steel. Dremel would work fine too. Then my diagonal cutting pliers would still work.
What kind of foam ? The link doesn’t work anymore :/
Kaizen 👍🏼
Rather than cut up allen wrenches, why not use finish nails? Also rather than cutting thick foam and having to pull it out in uneven pieces, why not purchase foam in thinner sheets I” or 3/4”. Cut completely through one sheet so the cutouts can just be pushed through and then just gluing the top with cutouts to a clean bottom sheet. Much cleaner looking and not maybe so messy on the hands. Just a thought.
Where were you when I did this?
Question for the author and for anyone.
I don't ever word with wood, based on the video the author does. How does one get into it? What products do you make that requires said wood working tools?
I did a blog on essential tools to start!
@@BlacktailStudio link?
Really need to do this for my tooldbox, but please - craft store: $15 for a hot knife
I recommend a Soldering Iron...
Save some torch time for sure!
The best way to do this is laser. How much did this foam cost you?
*clicks tongue* nice
Thanks 😂
I saw OCD and thought this was going to be clean. This disturbed me a little bit. lol
I do appreciate the silence of the video. Everything looks good but the bottom because of the way it is torn out. Even though it gets covered by the tools, when the tools are removed it doesn't look clean. I would take the blade and compress the side of the foam that is not being removed and cut at an angle. It should give you a cleaner bottom surface. Other than that, I thought everything looks great.
Very classy
Laryngitis?
Great. everything you show url to is no longer available.
there is alot of thing that i would have done diffrent that triggered my ocd
guess i actually don't have ocd
Your OCD apparently isn't so bad, cause to a real OCD person those uneven holes for grabbing the tools are a nightmare!!!! LOL!!!
I have diagnosed OCD and it doesn't bother me
Ok like, this is mad satisfying, but I'm not sure what this has to do with OCD? I myself have diagnosed OCD, and....I'm not following. I mean I understand the whole deal with the stereotype of OCD, with the whole "lol I'm so OCD, I like things tidy and organized lololol so quirky!" but like...that's not what OCD actually is. OCD is a debilitating anxiety based disorder characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears that lead to compulsive behaviors. Like "If I don't turn my light on and off 7 times, my mom will get into a car accident and die"
you might have found using a soldering iron better
For sure!
Not the standard of neatness to which I would aspire. Too rushed and lacking in attention to detail. I like the copper tube for the finger holes - much cheaper than a Kaizen Hot Knife Tamper - but why not ensure that the holes are properly aligned ?
You know they make electric hot knife needles just for that purpose ...
This wasn’t even ocd this was just carelessly cutting and burning holes without caring about edges and depth
Im ocd...Ive been using EVA foam for over 20 years and that stuff is hard to cut, yet it was neater and cleaner than his. I mean, showcasing the method, and while recording I can see it being a pita but it would bug me having that at the bottom. Beyond using two layers of foam, I would pour plastidip or that rubber in a case (I cant recall, the ones that made a boat out of screen doors...that rubber stuff), and let it settle flat at the bottom of those mouse nibbles lol.
@@RipRoaringGarage hahahaha. I have terrible ocd. It’s a blessing and a curse. I wanna get shadow foam so bad but I just bought a 3 drawer 1 shelf craftsman toolbox and the tools I have barely fit in just jumbled up piled together. I wanna try and get some epoxy and mold something. But if I did that it would take SOOOO long cuz I need to make sure all the sockets etc are even and level while pouring liquid onto them. Then I need to figure out how to make sure I can get them out once it’s dried. (Probably baby powder or Rosin bag powder. Something like that on the tools then put them in) don’t know how to keep them from moving tho
@@Mike-we3rb I know the feeling...today I had a terrible day, and none of the foams came out right...so tomorrow Im redoing everything. It can be a curse, because its setting me back a day...and I still would like to edit at some point this year...Im so far behind that its hurting my channel (which Im OCD about too because why not...I wish I could just keep things in a pile, without them in organized systems, records in spreadsheets, inspection timetables with reminders send to my email....its tiring lol)
@@RipRoaringGarage hahahaa you’re cutting shadow foam now? And you mean you cut them out but didn’t like them so you’re buying new foam?? Also same here I forget what I said in last message so sorry if I’m repeating myself but I’m tryna edit my own videos for yt. They are all ocd fresh down to every details. I haven’t posted one yet in like 6 months of filming. I’m doing voice overs afterwards instead of talking through the videos also so it’s gonna take even longer. Either higher quality videos but not posted as often or lower quality videos more often. I have to find a median lol
@@Mike-we3rb Yup...Had to cut new foams, but I had some extras so no extra cost. Im experimenting with different foam types. The typical stuff is too pricey, so Im using other kinds...we will see how it holds up over time. EVA was good but comes out sloppy since its very dense and a pain to cut (with medical grade scapels even). I understnad with the vids. Im disabled, and have to deal with doctors and all, so I tried uploading weekly for three years, and minimal results. Now Im just going to post longer format, 45m to 90m long once a month, but Im in a break now. Im redoing my garage and tool box lol...and its killing me. I was not as productive as I wanted today. Im doing these weird side protectors for the box for some tools that can slam in while placing them back.
HOW MUCH HAS OCD TAKEN AWAY FROM YOUR QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE?
About the same as if I were to capitalize every word. Takes a little more time, but people know the type of person I am with a glance.
@@BlacktailStudio Excellent response. Bullseye.
Blacktail Studio 😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!!
You see the quality of homeboys tools and set up? ....I’d say his “quality of life”
Is not missing much at all.
@@andrewgarratt5191 ocd is a diease you assssssssssssssshooooooooollllleeee
I really don’t want to do this.
I get it, but that sure seems to be a lot of wasted space...
Definitely was
Now we know why Americans use the imperial system instead of the metric system.
Because their measure tape only has measurements in inches not millimetres.
It’s tough
sloppy work for ocd
Oops I guess you don't know how to cut this type of foam
There is nothing OCD about this. Major reduction of storage capacity along with limiting future addition/expansion of tools, non-reconfigurable, not to mention a huge waste of time. If he was actually OCD he would have used a label maker on all of his drawer fronts a long time ago.... Don't bother asking me how I know.
This type of storage is good for things like Camera equipment and Firearms. Has no place in a functioning workshop.
I’ve been exposed.
@@BlacktailStudio Am I the only one who noticed that you couldn't fit all of the original tools into that same drawer?!?! haha
@@BlacktailStudio Go ahead and address the multiple points I've made. I'm waiting.
Waiting for a CZcams response? That would imply you don’t have a high paying, demanding career to focus on. And that can’t be the case.
lol, where did you get your medical degree? they left some vital information out bud.
