I like your laid-back-ish presentation. Just conversational, and very informative. Just a gentle reminder, though, around the 10:46 mark - there are gals like me out here doing this, too, not just guys. Thanks for sharing all the tips. Have a great day! :)
I’m sorry Andrea! I really do think about that and that’s why all my intros are always “everybody / everyone “ etc so sorry I goofed there!
@@BitnerBuilt No worries! 😀
Locktite makes many retaining compounds that would be excellent for the pocket hole bits and collars. Then if you break a bit, heat it up to break the locktite and save a collar.
That’s an awesome tip! Good thinking
I'm a fan of the Loctite 680 - it would be perfect in this application.
Also, Loctite or epoxy won't heat temper the bit and risk shortened life span.
To lock the collar on the drill bitner. Simply file or grind a flat spot on the drillbit then setscrew will lock in place.
Good tip
Heh. The Planet Eclipse assembly mat was a nice surprise. I approve
Haha prob 15 years old and going strong!
Good tips thanks for sharing. I like the drill bit holder. If you drilled a hole next to drill pocket for that drill then you could use it to check what drill size to use for screw or bolt clearance and simply pick up the drill from that pocket and use it. It would also be useful to check the drill size for each pocket.
Great tip Thor
Tupperware on the platforms was genius!
Thanks! I hate little extras you need to find a separate place to put and inevitably loose. So keep it all together!
The bench cookie tip was very interesting, never thought of that sort of thing.
Thanks Gregory!
That was some really good ideas that I have not seen before. I like that you were thinking outside the box(es) to solve problems that YOU have run into actually doing jobs. (Unlike SOOOOOOOOO many of these other "woodworker" channels that are rehashing each other's ideas.) I found some real gems in here. And if you are a woodworker/tinker/maker of stuffer, for as long as I have been, you know that you are ALWAYS looking for ways to "organize" (yeah right) your Shop. This was really good. Keep it up!!
Thanks so much!
Anyone reading comments to see if this video is worth watching should do so. Lots of unique takes on shop improvements. Mr. Bitner take a look at split ring collar stops. They have a superior holding power and are cheap!
Great tip Jesse! Just order a set to play with!
Medium size tool cart is awesome!!!
I think so too!
That swappable tool platform idea is gold!
Thanks! It keeps your tools stable when you need to work with them and it gets them out of the way when you don’t 👍
@@BitnerBuilt Have you tried using the lipped platforms w/ a face vise?
That was really good practical info and a great delivery. That mounting idea impressed me, great idea. I will check out your other content. Oh and 👍 to your commenters, some great ideas from them as well. What a good vibe you have going here.
Thanks Jo! Yea really great community! I totally expected to be plagued by trolls but such a nice surprise to have so many supportive and helpful community members!
Great stuff. Note on the gun mat: they make magnetized versions as well. Super helpful for parts etc
Awesome info thanks, Michael!
A great video! I am in the Hudson Valley area of New York. I have his 600 square-foot three car garage that I use as a shop. My biggest challenge is I have so much stuff that I am constantly organizing and re-organizing. With that said, it is fairly organized and I think I have put together some decent ideas on how to set things up. Would love to have you come and take a look at.
Sounds great! Shoot me an email justin@bitnerbuilt.com
Thank you for sharing the great ideas
Thanks very much Ellen!
Have older set of bench cookies. First time seeing the risers. Got to have them! Thanks!
Cool just make sure that your cookies have a threaded insert on them!
You can get started in welding with a flux core welder which doesn’t require the gas tanks in your shop. Whole setup can be had for about $300 if you catch the right sales and shop at the right places for it. Harbor freight sells the Titanium easy flux 125 and Amazon has a brand called Yes Welder …both would be great starter welder setups. Even if you bought the whole rig and found that you hated welding, you could sell it and get most of your money back. CZcams has some great vids on beginner flux core welding. Great woodworking tips in this video and you just earned yourself a sub 👍🏻
Awesome thanks Dewey! I actually went into Harbor freight a few weeks ago and was trying to ask about welders for a beginner set up and of course none of the guys working there. Have any clue about anything, definitely on my want to learn list!
I just took a three night welding class at my local high school through my city's rec department. It covered stick, mig, TIG, plasma cutting and only cost 50 bucks and unlimited materials. I got to try out different machines and processes and that alone was invaluable in selecting the welder I bought, not to mention the nearly 50 years experience of the old-timer teacher who I learned from. My only regret is not pestering him to teach me oxyacetylene brazing and welding. Each process has its strengths and weaknesses so to me it was really important to understand those things and be equipped to use the appropriate method when possible.
@@sklikizos wow that is awesome! I need to look into seeing if our local schools do that, too, that is a great tip for everybody out there. Thanks so much.
@@BitnerBuilt hey thanks, I'm really digging your channel! You've got some awesome stuff right out of the gate, can't wait to see more of your ideas.
Wow. Straight out the gate, useful and fun videos. I love your channel!
Awesome thanks so much Harold.
You obviously have OCD to some extent just like mem I love the way you organise everything and plan to do the same. I'm in the UK but somehow feel a connection. 🙂
It’s funny because in some aspects of my life, and I really don’t care, but when it comes to my things, everything does have a place in my book, and I can get a little excessive about it! Glad to have you watching Stewart!
@@BitnerBuilt I have watched about or 8 videos so far. I want to build a workshop as well organised as yours in my garage here in the UK. I will keep watching for more inspiration.
Keep up the good work. I've enjoyed your tutorials .I'm newly retired and I'm going to start wood working for fun. A lot has changed sense my high school shop days lol.
Thanks Jeff! Great use of that new free time!
Good tips. My adds...
Collar slippage... been there! My fix is to use two back-to-back... never had them slip after.
Work mats... I have a silicon soldering station mat I use. Resists heat, has the little cubbies to hold stuff and several even have imbedded magnets to hold small nuts/bolts/screws in place.
Thanks good tips! Yea I did the double collar thing too before I switched to the soldering!
Great video Justin supper great tips for smalls to sell thanks for sharing
Appreciate it, Jim!
Great suggestions
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the tips, appreciate the bench cookie one. Happy I found your channel and look forward to more of your content. Cheers!
Awesome! Thank you!
To catch small parts when I'm disassembling electronics or small machinery I put down small carpet pieces, often sold as cheap door mats. I get a few 16" x 20" whenever I see them such as at IKEA for about $1.50 each.
Great tip!
About leveling for an epoxy pour--why not just level your assembly table once and for all, then you don't have to worry about it? Useful tips--thanks.
I do a lot of larger epoxy things when I do it, for example a countertop. So the only thing in my shop that would be large enough to level for that is my large assembly table but that’s on casters and I move it around a lot, it would have to stay put and never move for that to work. People who do epoxy all the time with big workflows, have dedicated leveled tables. So I came up with a easy solution for myself and others who just don’t have the space for that. Thanks!
JB Weld would work for the stop collars too
Excellent Idea!
Great tips thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Cool shop, great tips
Glad you enjoyed it
New subscriber. Originally from Union, NJ....now live near Mt. Hood in Oregon.
Awesome Stanley! Wish you were still in the neighborhood, could have had you on an episode!
Adjustable cabinet legs would work the same way in Australia they are about $10 for 4
👍 I had mentioned some people use a board with adjustable legs, I just don’t want another jig board to store so that was a space saving alternative
Im not in NJ, but I am in the middle of a shop remodel. I don't really do yt videos, but I'm sharing some progress with done friends do im paying some videos
Cool Tom! Would love to see the progress!
4:59 If it’s stupid and it works, it ain’t stupid!
Haha true!
Excellent presentation once again Jason. I invite you to visit my workshop in the heart of Devon…just let me know in advance when you are coming? 😂😂 Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
Haha I will keep it in mind Len!
Justin, do you know what the flip top containers (at 02:16) you use are?
That one I showed was a container that regular construction screws come in at Home Depot, I just took the labels off. Just repurposed!
i put a second lock collar on my kregg drill bit.. right against the first one and that seems to stop the loosening problem
I did the same but a couple times it still came loose, so I kind of wanted a once and for all solution. Lol salty dawg, guess my intro was for you!
what apron are you using?
Hi Mel, I use the apron linked here, mine is 3 years old and hold up well, not incredibly high end but does the job amzn.to/3okCyCh
Where in the NY/NJ area are you?
Hey Matthew, I’m in central New Jersey, Bridgewater
@@BitnerBuilt Nice. I'm in Keyport.
Don’t know how to weld? Didn’t look like you know how to solder either. Plumbers around the world cried seeing those pocket hole bits. 😂😅😂😅 The small parts mat and magnifying glass is a good idea. Eyes are getting old and worn out now.
Lol you aren’t wrong!
