    I can imagine how much time it takes looking for what you need, knowing that you have it "somewhere". Time wasted. This will alleviate that issure and you can work on another project!! Love your channel--always have and always will. Happy family, hard working and funny!!

    It’s looking better all around he time !!! I have a suggestion for your glass jars of bolts, screws etc… drill the jar lid to the underside of the shelf and just screw them into the lids . Saves shelf space for other things … ??👍👍

    • @aliceolivares-chawk8307
      @aliceolivares-chawk8307 Před 2 měsíci +2

      My son in law did the same in his garage and it does save space and looks very nice.

    • @galady8632
      @galady8632 Před 2 měsíci

      That also eliminates having to remove the jars every time he needs to reposition the work shop/trailer. Doug might be able to utilize the shelf unit he built during this video.

  • @chitza3270
    @chitza3270 Před 2 měsíci +6

    I was going to read through the comments and see if anyone had recommended this, but with almost 400 comments, I gave up. You can screw the lids of the jars to the shelf above and screw the jars on and off from the bottom. It frees up shelf space for flat items and keeps the jars safe when/ if you move the trailer.
    Either way, it’s another comment to improve your algorithm 😊

    I can always tell when Doug has a new tool. He can’t keep from smiling. 😊 New shop does look really good. I have a theory. If you just keep moving things around, eventually it all disappears.

    Great progress! It's So awesome to have things organized so you don't spend half the day looking for something you "know is around here Somewhere!" 😆...I like repurposing glass jars for storage. I would just slap on another label over the old one, If a label is necessary. Take care ya'll!🙋💙💜💚

  • @davidschine242
    @davidschine242 Před 2 měsíci +6

    Just a few suggestions put some little rails on the jar shelf so youre not picking up a mess if you forget and move the trailer. I wouldnt put the electric box next tonthe dust bag possibility of a fire or even a small explosion. You doing such a good job. Take care

    @againstallodds0538 Před 2 měsíci +2

    Hey Doug, if you want to remove the labels off, you can spray WD40. Let it sit for 2-5 minutes, then remove it and clean it with soap. You can use it also for squeaking noise. Just spray it on the joints.

  • @ninabooker2904
    @ninabooker2904 Před 2 měsíci +3

    Don’t forget to plan for filming and lighting to film in the workshop trailer. Hyperlite makes LED shop/garage lighting that is pretty cool if you want to check them out. I love organizing, it’s a big job but SO satisfying. Clutter is so counter productive, when things are organized your brain has more capacity to create. ❤ Good job 👍

  • @suemarlette1857
    @suemarlette1857 Před 2 měsíci +3

    Good job, Doug! I’ll tell you what my dad did with his jars that might be a good idea for you. We had an abundance of baby food jars after our little sister was born. He screwed the lid to the underside of the shelf then all he had to do was unscrew the baby food jar, get what he needed then screw it back up to put it away.
    That would be helpful if you had to move the trailer, you wouldn’t have to put everything in a box to move it. The jars stay in place.
    I enjoy watching your videos every single day. Keep up the good work.

    I’ve reworked my sewing shed several times and it’s only 8x10! (Maybe you only need a small addition to your shop with 10’ ceiling, since you’ve got a good arrangement already.) Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for your time, energy, and happiness.

  • @sherryhedger9762

    We're on day 4 of our workshop cleanout. We literally got to a point where we couldn't do any more projects because of the chaos. Today we're working on sorting the screws, washers, etc. I like your use of the Jovial glass jars, I might use ours for that too. Great job on the creative use of space!

  • @cherylemaybury9967
    @cherylemaybury9967 Před 2 měsíci +2

    That workshop looks so good now. Great organisational skills. Instead of building a new workshop how about getting a shipping container instead. You can get them 40 feet long and they are 8 feet wide. You can fit them out really well and add windows and doors wherever you want them. I think they are a great alternative for a work shop and storage space. There’s heaps of CZcams videos on how to fit them out. Just a suggestion. You may have already thought of it yourself. 😊😊😊

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I've looked into them in the past. Shipping containers have drawbacks. For example, it is said that there are toxic chemicals used in the paint to keep them from rusting out at sea and to be able to hold up to the elements. I wouldn't want to deal with that, especially if you have to start cutting into them. And honestly, it would just be easier to build a wooden structure. I don't see any benefit to the shipping container.
      They are handy though if you just need a quick and secure storage building.

  • @RedRiverRedNeck309
    @RedRiverRedNeck309 Před 2 měsíci +4

    Maybe look into a Connex box I have one that’s extra tall they call them a High top and it’s 8X45. It has made a great work shop. I have it sprayed with foam insulation and that helps with the heat and the cold as well.

  • @ILGuy2012
    @ILGuy2012 Před 2 měsíci +3

    Wide mouth salsa jars would work great to store screws and things. The labels on the brand I buy come off fairly easily by soaking them in water. I use a scrubbing pad to remove the remaining glue. Some labels have a really sticky glue that isn't water soluble. I use paint thinner to remove that type of glue.
    When that long board started sliding on top of the PVC pipe, I called Ashley's name, but I guess she didn't hear me.

    Just a reminder, if you move your trailer again, you will need to secure your glass jars. A bungy cord stretched horizontally should work. Oh, yeah, Goo Gone will remove the labels. 😊
    You may rethink leaving the glass in your hutch. Change it to plexi glass would be safer.

    REMOVING LABELs ~ Windex = window cleaner takes off labels a easy way is to lay the jars on their side , soak a paper towel in windex ( window cleaner ) and let it sit for a few hours they come straight off.Cheap stuff from the dollar store works just as well as the good stuff too.

    Doug, I was really excited when you got the trailer for your workshop and was glued to the videos of how you set it up. But as a woodworker I was waiting for how long it would take to take on the greatest project for any shop and that is to rearrange it. That’s the real fun for having a shop.😂😂😂😂😂😂 Enjoy!!! Looking forward to the next rearrangement 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Hi Doug you should check out off-grid Bruce he completely did out his entire shop which is huge but he hand-built all of his tool holders for tools and power tools and all that stuff it's pretty cool things on the on the walls miscellaneous wood and everything it's really cool . He's very creative like you are
