DIY Heavy Duty Drop-Bottom Bins for the Workshop! | Shop Made Tools

- We’re building our very own heavy-duty drop-bottom bins for the workshop! In classic Kurtis fashion there’s no fancy blueprints, just full-on workshop ingenuity and over the top fabrication, so these bins are definitely going to handle anything we throw at them or in them! We'll take you through the entire process, from weld tacking the sheets together to machining the parts for the locking mechanism. And of course, no project is complete without some drilling, pressing and a seriously good welding session! Once they're all welded up, we'll give them a fresh coat paint but the real test comes when we load one of these bad boys up with 300kg of metal chips and... well, you'll just have to watch the video to see how it holds up! So, ditch the dustpan and get ready to build some seriously awesome bins with this DIY workshop project!
In this video we are using:
- WIA 500i Weldmatic Welder
- Hafco TM-1740G Centre lathe
- MetalMaster HPM-150T Hydralic Press
- RadiusMaster RM-48 Pedestal belt grinder

wishing you kids a wonderful weekend....starting to get cool yet.....best wishes from that other Sunshine State, Paulie
Two words… whoop whoop!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Okay - there is one thing that I would suggest as an improvement on this - a bevel? I think on the locking mechanism - so that when you shut the bin and the lock is in the closed position, it wants to Lock - like a Gate latch. Hopefully I am explaining it correctly.
so how many Bananas can you fit in the bins ? I was think of some kind of rope too hook to the bin so you could pull the dump latch while sitting on the lift ?? but that might just get in the way .. great job on building them bins ..
2 things is better over kill than not enough over kill and where's the welding cap from ic weld lol keep up the awesome content y'all hope ur weekend is going awesome be safe and cheers from California:)
I love the fact that even the bins in the workshop have to be dead-on square, the sign of proper craftsmanship, I would expect nothing less from Kurtis.
I have OCD; when I make stuff everything has to be plumb, square, aligned properly, consistant tolerances etc.. I wonder if Curtis is OCDish?
@@BrewPub "CDO Adjacent" (with the letters in the proper, alphabetical, order ...as they should be! 😃)
Seeing Kurtis pull off these projects without ever creating a napkin sketch is very impressive.
Plus bullet proof heavy duty!
@@BrewPub No.
Anyone can do it wrong.
Next time I get a paint run, I'm calling it added abrasion protection. Thanks Kurtis.
Thanks for the video, Karen.
that was funny indeed!
Thought I might have been the only one to catch that...
I just completed a simple project and have a couple of paint runs. Now, thanks to Kurtis, they are added abrasion protection! So much to learn from these great videos! Thanks to both of you for the great work and skills.
I used to say “Rubs don’t rust”.
Kurtis, you’re a student of your craft and a master of your profession! Karen, you have Hollywood quality videography and editing talent!
She has the gift of gab. The video descriptions are legendary.
And the cutting edge engineering... speaks for itself.
You just created a product that A LOT of companies can use. Not just a machine shop! What a great way to show an inventive product!!
i thought it can be a product, too.
Not a novel idea, they sell these already.
It's workshop stuff like this that people often don't think about that are so important.
these are definitely making the best difference in the workshop already!
628 pounds of swarf???!!!
@@user-us5eh3xl1z
That’s a lot of stuff, thank you for translating the kilos vs pounds
Are these weekend jobs ?.
@michelmcgilly yes I do believe these are after hours/ weekend jobs just like the crane project
Best channel on CZcams bar none.
wow thanks mate we appreciate it!
Excellent for sure but I call it a dead heat between these guys and a bushcraft/fishing/camping channel here in Australia that I watch as well.
Both Aussie products so I don't mind sharing the love.
ThisOldTony would like a word lol
Def the best channel. I follow probably 100 people and watch 20 30 regularly and this is the one channel I wish I had more of
The press arrangement for the offset handles is very clever!
That's a fantastic job I like your design. I'm 75 years old and and been welding and fabrication for probably 60 of them. It's never too old to learn.
Sat at my kitchen table....pretty much a full english breakfast in front of me, a nice cup of tea and watching this on the telly....dont think it can get much better than this.....
livin' the dream mate!
oi! innit!
Can't get more Bri'ish either! x'D
I'm in New Zealand, so it's whisky or wine!
@@wwfeatherston for breakfast? country of alchies!!
I've just sat and watched a guy make bins for nearly an hour. Seriously, how do you do it? No matter what you are making, the videos are always awesome.
This is what I watch every Friday morning having my coffee. Never dull & always different.
not to mention he makes that one hour vid seem like its only 10 mins long🤣
You have to admit, they are pretty AWESOME bins!
If you're going to watch bins, these are the watching bins...
@@Tasarran I've bin watching.
Man, I love work. I can watch it all day.
Cutting those hinges perfectly between the sections and them being perfectly symmetrical to the bin made me a happy man, love your work Kurtis, gets me through the weeks away from home!
I think that blue would look amazing on the franna crane
I have such faith in Kurtis’ forklift skills that I was fully expecting him to unload the old swarf bin with a hands-free kickflip or something.
Yup, me too. I do wonder if it would be convenient to run a cable from the handle on the new one down to the bottom of the forklift rack so he can just open it by lifting it up enough to pull the cable taut.
Indeed. Watching Kurtis load work pieces into the machines with the forklift is one of (the many) highlights of this channel.
He could add a foldable or removable bit of round bar to the release handle, so when its time to empty, just fold them out then bump it on the side of the bin :)
I say foldable or removable to avoid those "ah fuck" moments when he kicks his shins with them haha
Another wonderful video
As you lower the bin the release handle could touch the lip of the dumpster and release.
The handle would need to stick out and be inconvenient the rest of the time.
Drop bottom bins they make the rockin world go round
😂👌
@Spacekop I see what you did there (Queen) ✌🎵🎶👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering your misses can spell a fixed , we make stuff , shell spells thankyou 4 good woman 🤫
I think you just named them! “The FBGs” - it will really help with saying “bin” too many times.
Bin of my life, don't desert me. You've got lots of swarf, and now you leave me...
This is always the best shop class available. The videos with Homie and your corvids with a pretty song are frosting on the cake.
And here I am, thoroughly entertained by a dude making some bins. Quality viewing as always
My Father was a welder and he would build projects like this at home including a stainless steel picnic table that got so hot in the Summer time that you couldn't sit on it. (but it kept all the food warm for hours.) He even welded together a steel Christmas tree for Lukens Steel In Pennsylvania where it still sits on top of the main warehouse to this day. He even built us bikes that never...ever broke, but were very heavy and very hard to pedal. Watching Kurtis make stuff like this make's me yearn for those days again.
Miss you Dad.
Great work Kurtis
Willing to bet he never paid a bean for any of his "homer" jobs either? Lol. One piece at a time my friend, just like Johnny Cash!🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG!!!! I KNOW THAT CHRISTMAS TREE!!! That was your pop!!! AWESOME
@@francisschweitzer8431 Yep. Yeah he was a talented Dad. Thanks
I love watching your layout and sequencing on your projects. I'm pretty-much self taught (aside from a welding class about 50 years ago!) and I've learned a lot from my years of watching you, Kurtis. And of course, Karen is our transmission line between Kurtis' action to our screens! Thank you both, and the birds & beast as well!
Love the outtake”done done “ then benny hill kicks in
Impeccable timing
Hello from West Texas. I start a good day watching Kurtis work, Karen film and Homey play. I am 81 years old and learn something new everytime I watch Kurtis on a project. Keep them coming.
Oklahoma here & only 75, I do with you on those ideas
@@dirtfarmer7472 Alabama here, only 72 and I have watched CEE since their beginning -enjoyed each and every episode and rewatched some with friends.
California here...(don't judge) and just turned 82. Fascinated by Kurtis' skills, attention to detail and the way in which he handles all sorts of very heavy items.
Carlsbad NM
I cannot imagine watching another channel making bins. Kurtis, it was a pleasure watching your ideas come to life.
The yellow sticker on your machine ("Nett hier...") is awsome, i found them all over the world in different places. tbh. i was happy when i found one "down under" in your shop.
Watching quite a few CZcams videos it becomes apparent most ppl don’t understand a viewers tolerance and attention span. CEE (curtis) provides the interesting conten no doubt but the real genius behind the success of this channel,is the camera work and the editing. Hats off to the production crew who has a preternatural ability to understand the viewer. (I never need to fast forward during a CEE video)
Kurtis: "That's one done, I need to make five more"
Me: 5, 50 or 500, I don't mind. I would watch every single one of them being made.
This channel never gets boring.
What does true love look like?
"I was hoping it would fall in"
Given that that was probably the last time he was using it rather than the new bins, I've got to wonder if he would have fetched it out if it had, or just left it. I would have been quite tempted to leave it!
Those that have been a child at some point did also.
Long time fan from Texas, first time commenting, really enjoy your content. I learn something new every time I watch. Maybe I missed an episode about how you got started in this business but would enjoy hearing your back story. Thanks!
Hey mate thanks for taking time to watch and comment! You might like to check out our First Q&A video, Kurtis shares about how he got started and the history of our business 😁 Cheers!
lovely almost 1 hour of Kurtis and Karen on Friday evening love you all
Putting the stickers on at the end was just the perfect finishing touch
Paint runs are now called "Added Abrasion Protection". I'll have to remember that one. A good fabricator knows how to accentuate and turn a flaw into an advantage. Love it!
Your imagination and engineering never fail to amaze me. 👍
Well done Kurtis and Karen!
The 'Bin count' meter was priceless.
Saying the spray runs offer abrasion resistance is like leaving spatter on because it provides a gripping surface. This was one of the best vids in a while even though it wasn't as technical as the others. Thank you guys.
well, you cant argue against it. :D
The "added abrasion resistance" is a case of what we in the computer biz define as if you can't fix it feature it.
Good morning Kurtis, Karen, Homeless, subscribers, and all the other animal denizens of the CEE workshop. Top of the day to ya.
The animals are an integral part of the joy as well, totally agree with you.
Not sure why, but offsetting the handles to give them more clearance to make them easier to grab is very satisfying. 👍😊
Hi Curtis, I love your videos and so does my father (he’s 82). Always amazing and always inspiring and a credit must go to your wife as the editing is brilliant and ultra professional. Your overall content keeps viewers glued as there is no nonsense and edits are to the point and keep the interest alive. I wish I lived in Oz sometimes as I would love to tour an installation such as yours. Keep up the brilliant videos and I will keep watching…. GUARANTEED.
My dad used to say that anything you don't prime deserves to go in the garbage - but I think it's fair to say that some things you don't prime deserve garbage to go in them! Well done!
The mill scale is primer enough
I work a grave shift in the states, and every Friday's lunch is spent watching you guys. Your editing skills continue to get better. Pet Homeless for me please =)
I must say Kurtis, you have one very adorable puppy! He is the perfect project manager!🐶
That worked perfect , 100 percent improvement from the old ones
Perfect!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Paint runs = added abrasion protection. I'm putting that one in my back pocket for later. Thanks Kurtis!
Great design Kurtis. So much easier than the tipper bins (is there anyone who hasn't dropped the swarf bin in the recycle dumpster?) or a wheelbarrow. And no wheels that need to be replaced every 5 or 6 months! Thanks for showing us how it's done, guys. See you next week. Cheers.
Well that no-wheels approach is practical only if you have a full area overhead crane (or easy forklift access to anywhere you're going to put the bins). Still, horses for courses, it works in his workshop.
Hi Kurtis Greating from Bulgaria ,i follow you more then 2 years mate.This bins that you `v made was awsome mate .Your Imagination is on a different level .Gongrats for all of you and have i nice week
Excellent video. I just realized that in countries with an English tradition they call those barrels "44 gallons" I knew them as 55 gallons or 200 liters. Greetings from Patagonia Argentina
Drop-bottom bins, you make the rockin' world go 'round!
Thanks for feeding my CEE addiction 👍👍
On Patreon I made the comment that these are Goldilocks bins because they are just right. Thinking more: you have got three of them - the three bears, and with their drop bottoms I think it is reasonable to call them drop bears. 🤣🤣
All the best,
Paul
Your comments are always great to read Paul and this one was one of the best 😂👍
Heavy Duty Drop bottom Bins
You make the rockin' world go 'round
Thank you team
Those bins are perfect❤❤❤.
You can bet that if kurtis is going to make a bin it will be the best bin in Australia by far
I really love the 1970’s split screen playback. Excellent video editing Karen, well done 😊😍❤️
Those viewers that haven't shot and edited video footage may not appreciate the quality of the video but I do. Providing a balance of normal speed and increased speed footage that is pleasant to view takes some thought.
I’m ready for a full shop clean up video now! The bins would look cool if you had your CEE logo laser cut on some thick steel and mounted to the side of the bin
Yay, it's the Australian with the hard yakka!!
Kurtis, the sign of a true master is how easy you make it look. Fabulous editing as always. Love Homeless and the birds... *sounds of all panel beaters slashing their wrists*
Would still love to see a video on what happens with all your scrap. Fascinated to see how/if they separate out all the different grades of steel, aluminium, bronze etc.
SLICK double bending those handle bars wow. great idea
Simple, beautiful and functional. Can't beat that.
There's just something about a clean, organized workshop that makes you feelbetter about working there...
Those bins are awesome! I really enjoy these shop builds, especially when you build without a plan. Kind of like me when I get out building the little project for Dion. A lot of the time I have to design as I go.
And Karen, your editing inspires me to try to edit my videos a little better.
Take care guys, have an awesome weekend.
Hey mate, as always thanks for your support! Karen is such a perfectionist with editing and always looking to improve how she does things! She is a trooper, working hard behind the scenes to bring it all together. Appreciate your comment, keep crushing it!
I told myself a plastic barrel would be enough for this task, then you weighed it... then i reminded myself curtis is the professional.
As always great job!
The care and attention put into those bins is an accurate indication of the level of work from this shop.
Definitely needs a Mighty Car Mods, "IN THE BIN" sticker.
One could be civic and the other Subaru. Hehehe love it.
@bmw1894 @cutting_edge_engineering consider 3 of them shipped eta hopefully next week :D
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
Thanks Kurtis.
Thanks for the video, Karen.
So weird. I noticed the small tipping bin on an earlier video and wondered if that was custom. This was yesterday, and boom like magic, here you are making some new ones. Love your work.
You're a mind reader mate!
I love the way you go out of your way to make sure everything is actually square, even when it's a shop project that is going to get battered by large lumps of heavy metal pretty quickly. 👍
Karen, you should try filming welding through another welding mask or lens! I know there are even welding lenses specifically for cameras, but they're expensive. I've seen some incredible videos of welding filmed just through another welding mask though!
As always, excellent job with the videos! 👍🏻
I really like your filming. No rapid movements. And the fast - forwards on the tagging process gives a nice effect.
Like clock work!!!! Every Friday morning at 9 a.m sharp we are treated too the best engineering channels newest upload😁😁😁😁😁😁
thanks for the support mate!
@CuttingEdgeEngineering just giving the recognition where it's due...
The two of you are truly putting out some of the most educational, entertaining and down to earth content on the platform. Always happy, always humble and always loving the animals and life around you and the shop.
Kurtis is truly my biggest inspiration for learning how too machine and plan on the fly in the workshop. He teaches so much, in such an easy to understand and grasp manner, you would swear that he used too lecture engineering at a university.
Added abrasion protection,that’s a good one
Brilliant Photography.
Coffee, Karen, Homeless & Curtis! Good morning fea Scotland. Take care & stay safe!
Bedford UK here. What a frantastic upgrade to the shop. Lots of chips so they all have been working hard on so many other things.
8:27 AM here in Indiana watching Kurtis...no better way to kick off the long weekend !
Awesome “Kurtis Kontainer”. 👍👍🍺
Great job ! thanks for taking us along on this build
Hey Kurtis
Sooo happy to see you and Karen.
Everyday we watch you with my 1 year old daughter.
Curtis ....one word. Marvelous!😀
Clean functional design and the usual attention to detail in the build. That fork truck certainly earns it's keep - fork lift, assembly and welding bench, painting fixture and heavy haulage - you'd be lost without it!
Drop bottom bins you make the rocking world go rooooound.
Najnowego programu jaki wypusciliscie na Yt. Te glaby niedopuszczaja wiekowo ! Cholera oco biega😊
excelent job!!
Kurtis is so proud, this is probably one of his bucket list things.
Hey Kurtis!
If you put a big 45° bevel on the underside of the latches, they could latch themselves onto the bosses while putting the bin down, without pulling on the levers.
And of course proper craftmanship and camera work, as always!
Designer bins!!! Respect. 😊
Paint runs help with abrasion protection, love it
If I didn't see you make them I would say they look brand new. 👍
I am always picking up new ideas from YT guys like you. I've been working in and around machine shops for over 63 years, and there's always more for me to learn! That was a great way to bend the off-set handles and pretty quick and easy. Thanks Curtis!
2 questions. both answered at the end. cheers from South Alabama.
Truly satisfying to see work that improves your own quality of life. Sometimes it really is the little things that make life way better.
My first job EVER when I was 13 (back in the 70's) was sweeping and trash pickup in a truck semi-trailer repair shop. A 55 gallon drum full of old brake linings was barely possible to move, let alone empty into a dump trailer and retrieve! Sometimes I left the whole can if it fell off of the fork truck pallet funny or if it got smashed. I'd try to push them off the pallet so they landed about upside-down. Thanks for the memories. With Aloha...
Those tipper bins you had wheels on we had forklift tubes underneath and they didn't fall off!! Mind you they were a lot bigger!!
Never thought a bin could be such a thing of beauty!
Great project and build Kurtis. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for sharing.
Man I could have used these 30 years ago when I was a machine shop cleanup kid. We filled 55 gallon drums for chips. Boy it was fun dumping those with the forklift. While I got pretty good at tipping them in with the forklift many times they were so heavy I had to climb up there and use my whole body to tip them over and had plenty of close calls falling in with the drum and scrap. Plenty of times the damn drum would flip end over end and land in the dumpster straight up and Id have to shovel out the chips until I could get the drum out... LOL good memories
Kurtis, it's never overbuilt; it's quality-built by Kurtis! Videographer by Karen, and supervised by Homie! CEE is quality in all aspects!
Beautifully done, as always!!!
Another good video to watch. Thank you, and keep em coming
New bins for the chickens! Very nice project Kurtis and expertly photographed by Karen as usual! Cheers
Love the "Added abrasion protection" 😂 I've just sat here on my lunch break watching someone make some bins and I've enjoyed every minute. Thanks!
You are a master at everything you do. I love watching you and how you apply your skills. Thanks for all the GREAT videos and a shout out to your wife and her magic touch she adds to them.
