How to Build Stanley Sort Master Shelves for the Workshop
Вставка

- To get organised I use the 'Stanley Sort Master Organisers' however you do really need to have a shelving unit for them to sit in to use them efficiently.

Thanks Steve.The second one is easier for a beginner with less experience using the Router..I will make one.
Today I made a Garden Screen 1.8m tall with bredth 1.8m and wheels to move around.
I made a mistake but later corrected.Truly it is hard to see the error till you start building!
Built more.Learn through error.
Just a suggestion, before fitting the back panel, drill the 4 mounting holes and position the back where you want to mount the cabinet on the wall. You can then more easily mark and drill the holes in the wall. If the holes are uniformly positioned in the back panel, it won't matter which way it's assembled regarding top/bottom or front/back.
I can’t recommend enough getting your local diy shop to do your cutting for you. My local does the first 10 cuts free and then 50p a cut. It makes projects so much easier and you don’t have to worry about how to get an 8 x 4 sheet of MDF home. Love the channel Stuart!!
Great service. My local providers has every bit of timber you'd need but they would laugh if you asked them to cutting anything.
Some stockists have a self-serve cutting service - a handsaw hanging from a nail! A good idea though to get them to cut the wood for you though if they have one of those fancy (and accurate) machines.
Maybe have them make rough cuts to get the plywood into manageable sizes, but I'm not trusting someone I don't know with final dimensions on my project pieces.
There are craftsmen out there who are skilled, precise and care about quality, but there are lots of crapsmen out there too. Until I know which one you are, I won't trust you with cutting my lumber.
@@lowslow3612 completely agree with this, especially if you’re making built in furniture the final cuts should be made on site.
I've cut up whole sheets in the car park with a cordless circular saw just to fit them in the car, got some funny looks from people but I didn't really care. As for instore cutting services I would only trust them to cut a little oversize of the dimensions I would need - I would want to do the final cuts myself.
That is bloody clever
Screwfix have these boxes for £9.99 and with 10% off during February
Thanks for demonstrating the non router method…that’s really helpful. Appreciate it
When you get some more, I look forward to you building storage for the storage for the storage!
Would that be the new workshop build? Or is there a stage in between? 😂
I liked how you give other options for those who don’t have the tools. Excellent channel 😊
I’m surprised there’s anybody still left alive 😮 I thought Legionnaires would have claimed everybody by now 😊. Another great vid 👍🏻
LOL... I came up with this same need and design (modulo smaller sortmasters and more shelves). I built it last weekend and failed miserably because I did not properly align the guide for the router. The rebate was slightly diagonal, so that the shelves could not possibly fit. I'll redo it this weekend. I should have looked for Stuart's advice first.
Don't forget to label each organiser so you know what's in each one. Saves you from having to randomly pull each one out to find the M8 nuts
Loving you showing the cutting list and showing the parts as you go through the build. DIY Creators has been doing similar for a few years and it just makes following the build process so much easier - I wish all DIY makers did it!
Brilliant, thanks Stuart, this is classic "Proper Diy" content, well thought out and great presentation with hints, tips and humour scattered liberally throughout ! I particularly like the bit where you encourage new DIYers to not get stressed about perfection and "have a go" there's so much perfect content out there that does little to inspire this attitude so good on you mate !
I use the second method as less dust created. I also run the shelves right to the back for added strength.
Hi, what temperature do you maintain in your workshop? Would it be possible for you to create a video on the storage of power tools and strategies for preventing rust on tools stored in a garage or shed workshop? Thank you.
Great tip. I recently made a cabinet for my conservatory, and rather than wrestle with full sheets of MDF in the car park, and then cut them to the exact size on the table saw or track saw, I made a cutting list, using the excellent and free, Cut List Pro app, before going to my local 10 free and then 50p DIY store, where most of the cuts were done on the in-store panel saw. A lot less hassle, MDF dust, and a great time saver.
It is not cheating, it's boxing - no pun intended - clever!
Really love that second method, Stuart! In a way it's the same principle I used for my workbench, which is modelled after Paul Sellers' plywood workbench, where he designed it so that all mortise and tenons are just strips of plywood glued together, leaving out certain areas to make the mortises. Very clever way of building, and sturdy as an oak.
1:28 "... but I don't want to throw them away".
Very sensible. It's a well-known fact that whenever you throw something out that you've had lying around for no use for years, you'll find out you need it for something the day after.
Very practical design with great instructions.
Great vid - many thanks !
Whether or not you have a router, to me the 2nd method seems much better.
Can you do a video explaining about nail guns, and Brad guns etc for noobies like me please
Good interesting video Stuart which covers two ways to do the cabinets. Thanks for the video.👍👍
Another superb video Stuart. Without doubt, you are the master of DIY videos on the tube. Thanks
Love these things, have a bunch of them myself. I like to write the theme of the contents on the yellow handle plastic in permanent marker to make it easy to find things
Excellent. I did something similar last year. A tip for cutting the shelves is to always measure and put your rail on the part of wood you want to keep. That way the measurements are accurate and you can use your first one as the template. When you measure and keep the bit to the right of the saw its called the waste side and that's when you need to consider the kerf of the blade. It takes a bit of getting used to, most of us naturally keep the longer piece to our left and cut a smaller piece off the right side.
Excellent as always Stuart 👍😁
Hi Stuart, a great build for the workshop very handy for those organisers, like your self i am a DIYer and it never goes right first time around but I enjoy it, As always a great video
Thanks Stuart, Great idea. So I bought 4 of them.
GREAT configuration, esp on the second option... looks like I better get to cutting ;-)
Thanks for a great idea!!
i like the non-router version more. seems much more straightforward. I actually have about five of these cases so I think this may become my next proper project.
Great video! As a Stanley Sortmaster freak.. this is the best thing i seen all week!
Thoroughly enjoyable as usual. Congratulations on reaching 300k subs too! 😎
The link did not work but I was able to make my Amazon purchase using their search bar. Most splendid.
Stuart.....'love your work'
Thanks Stuart, I bought 5 off Amazon, waited a few days and tried again... Wouldn't sell them me. So I got 2 sets of 4 from UK Planet Tools at a great price... Now I have to find some wall space to make your shelve system 😀Cheers Paul
Hoarder shows us how to cope😂. Can we have one on what to do with my growing "collection"?
Birdy
I definitely need to invest in a track saw... but which one?
Great idea and vey well explained. I made one of these a few years back (probably based on your videos) but “tweaked” the idea, made 8 shelves and connected using drawer runners. This increased the weight (and cost) so I added wheels on the bottom, then scrap hardwood as a cutting top, it all quickly got out of hand!
Some proper “quality” fluffy DIY shed MDF there Stuart. I’ve built storage for my sort master boxes that I hold different sized screws and bolts in, but rather than putting it on the wall I put castors on it and mounted the band saw and drill press on top. Keeps the tool at the right height and provides easily accessible storage
Thanks Stuart, very good video. Take care as always
Great video Stuart and fantastic that you also provided a cutting list. Cheers.
Another very informative video.Keep them coming stuart.
Excellent video as always!
It's great to see different methods for achieving the goal and all small tips to make job easier!
Well that was a groovy project….. anyway for me a 12.7mm router bit has always been my go to size due to size variation of materials. With MDF 0.5 mm is then taken up by expansion of material with the water based glue (PVA)
Very good video Stuart, Thank you. I have a big collection of these sortmasters, divided between my rolling mitre saw and drill stands, but I will now build another cabinet to hang on the wall for those yet to find a home. Interesting comment on ply availability…
Thanks for a perfectly timed video. I just need to get on and build some of my own now. 😊
Thanks for taking us through the process .
Many tips gained along the way .
Great build
Great video thanks for sharing
Great video!!
I've got 6 of these, very pleased. Only issue is they are now all full! I should buy more, but need to work out where they would go first.
Great video !!! thanks
Great idea and one I have adopted but labels are needed!!!!
Great video, as a new DIY'er and someone who struggles with over complicated measuring and instructions this was so easy to understand. I want to build a shelf unit for my shed and this was so helpful. I have a bit more confidence that I can make it now!
Made similar shelving unit, however to save on material I only used 5 cm wide strips on both sides, Makes assembly and grabbing the bins easier. Even with heavy organisers it holds on great.
Love the ideas and the way you communicate! I'm going to upgrade my workspace from a workmate outside to a proper garage in my new home, your ideas are going to flurish there!
Have thought of labels on the boxes
cracking video cheers
Nice! I would have added a french cleat inset into the back though. Much easier to hang them that way.
I store mine back side down, fit much more in the depth of a shelf that way
Thanks
The old woodworking saying "You can never have enough clamps" should have added "or Sortmasters". Once you have a few you cannot stop buying them (I know) !.
I bought a few (okay, a few dozen) Allit Europlus Flex cases (that have internal "buckets" you can take out), but instead of shelves I built a couple of rack-style cabinets, with rails (angled back slightly so the cases slide in naturally).
I don't think that would work with those Stanley cases, though, due to the way the sides are designed (the Europlus cases have a wider edge just under the lid, that can slide on the rails and support the case without the need for an actual shelf).
Nice.
Hi. Great vid. Can you tell me the make of your battery operated orbital sander please
Hi Stewart, you said in the intro that there was going to be a gap at the front and back of the shelves!! but when seen gluing and nailing they were flush the the edge??
I had the same idea last year. I built shelf cabinet for 10 orange boxes from OBI (6€ per one). My cabined is not fixed on wall but has wheels so I can move it. It is built from old ikea kallax which has perfect depth, so this reduced number of cuts.
Imho rabbit is overkill. I used just srews. It not big load and box pushed on shelf near corner. My cabined has no back, just stop blocks to allow dust go away.
Very Nice, I bought a dozen of these when they were cheap as chips on amazon.
Is the MDF size down to moisture/expansion?
how did you manage to get the scorch mark on your underlay when cutting the sheets down 🤔 it looks like an impressive burn 😁
What size are these boxes?, the ones you linked to, says they are: 17.4L x 13.1W x 3.6H centimetres which seems to be very small compared to the ones you have there?
If you were making a lot of them, a 31/64 router bit is 12.3mm
I have something similar - however I labelled the boxes to stop me having to search all of them each time I wanted something.
how do you know which box to take when the contents are hidden in the shelving unit?
Stuart "cutting shapes". That *would* be sight to see.....
Hi Stuart What the Band and Name of Music you was playing in this Video???
Also the same
Price at screw fix
Currently £9.99 at screwfix 50% off 👍
The one in the link to Amazon looks tiny? 17 x 13cm. Yours looks much bigger than that.
But why does it even need to be grooved at all? You could just screw in through the side straight into a shelf right? I get that it's probably stronger and looks nicer but it's only for the garage/shed - who cares if you see screws from the side? (Btw I do like the video so don't think I'm saying you've done anything wrong)
You are right, you could. Personally, as I get better at woodworking I’m always trying to improve the quality of what I make. It’s also a show piece for my wife to understand how I can make things for her to look good inside the house. Cheers.
1:29😂
I have looked at these many times - I got a couple - But they are too expensive.
MDF is awful stuff. Its thickness swells when it absorbs moisture from the air then shrinks when it dries out. When making loudspeaker cabinets, I need to keep the material in the house for its dimensions to stabilise before machining.
Dewalt sorting boxes are much better quality for around the same price. Far more robust and solidly built
👊🫡
Why make shelves? Just use runners? Much lighter and cheaper.
No surprise that 12mm MDF is not actually 12mm in size when a 2x4 is actually 1.5x3.5
What is the point of labelling something with the wrong size ?
Just imagine the fuss if a litre of petrol turned out to be 0.8 of a litre
