      And if you have accessories for the sled (like stop blocks and so on) you can store inside it.
      Try doing the same with the sled attached to a French cleat wall. 😬

    I can’t even tell you how excited I am to build this, I’ve procrastinated making my workspace functional because I couldn’t find a design that worked for it… this is PERFECT! And it looks beautiful too! I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything so fast and let me tell you, your plans are some of the best ones I’ve seen, so perfectly explained, even mentioning where to cut to haul the wood home, I can not tell you how much I appreciate that as a woman who can’t handle a sheet of plywood no matter how hard I try. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, you can always tell when someone enjoys what they do!

    • @JoshSamuelson
      @JoshSamuelson Před rokem +5

      The issue is that Gridfinity is 42mm and the drawer dimensions here are 375x450. So the grids would not work out to even numbers, it's like 8.9 grids deep and 10.7 wide. It might work to scale some Gridfinity prints to a 25mm base grid, but then it's not really the same system, and a lot of the exact fit things like battery holders wouldn't be right anymore. IMO 25mm would've been a much better base dimension because it's basically 1 inch with a little extra room for tolerance.

    • @OhHeyTrevorFlowers
      @OhHeyTrevorFlowers Před rokem +5

      @@JoshSamuelson Yes, though I suppose the plate prints could be modified around the edges to add non-gridfinity storage. So the majority of the drawer would be compatible and the edges would still be usable.

    • @JoshSamuelson
      @JoshSamuelson Před rokem +6

    It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better czcams.com/users/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.

    Love love love this design so much!! A man after my own heart, per usual. I've actually been thinking similarly after my most recent move with my miter saw station. The intention for that was for it to fit any space, but my new space is so weirdly shaped that it can't work efficiently in there. Ultimately it's really just a bank of cabinets that happens to hold a miter saw.
