Fantastic video! You just solved my dilemma of what I should use the wasted space under my shop countertop for! Excellent to see you back Dan. I was almost worried about you!
Thanks! Glad I could help, and sorry I worried you - I just needed a break. But it's all good now, and I'm raring to go. 😄
Glad your back. Hope all is well with you and your family. I love your videos.
Thanks! And yes, all is well. 😄
I was excited to finally see a new video from you. I need to get some of those organizers, and this caddy you built was a great idea. Excellent work, and I hope you are doing well.
Thanks! I'm glad to be back making videos again, too. 😄
Good to see you back at it Dan!
Thanks! Glad to be back. 😄
Great build! When you have a base that is wider than the sides of the structure on top, you can use that vertical space/face as a storage space as well. some hooks, cleats, dowels, velcro straps, etc can give you the ability to hang things on the sides, and they won't hang out over the edge of the base (unless you make them).
Thanks! I'm already planning to do that, so great minds think alike. 😄
Awesome job. That's a great relief from using plywood for the sides and back, especially if you don't have a table saw. Thanks
Thanks! Glad I could help! 🙂
Thanks for the vid. Good to see you back again after a break.
Thanks! 😄
Cabinets don't have to be pretty - just functional! Great job!
Thanks, and I totally agree. Although with that said, it's also nice to be able to look at something and feel pride at how nice it looks. It's a trade-off, I guess. 😄
Yeah! Finally some who is as messy as I am! I think I will probably make one of those carts. I may vary the design slightly as I have quite a bit of scap plywood laying about. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! And by all means, alter it to your heart's content. My goal is always just to get people thinking, and motivated. The rest is up to you. 😄
Good to see you back. Keep up the good and grateful work!
Thanks - I will! 😄
LOVE IT, no walls, i find MANY craftsman put things into projects just FOR their complexity and useLESSness. simple is almost always better.
True, simple is almost always better, but sometimes you want to try fancy too. I mean, I'd rather "make things to make things", then "make things" any day. 😄
Well done. Glad to see a new video from your channel
Thanks! Glad to be back. 😄
Hi Dan, Nice to have you back. I really like this build. It is so functional but uses very little material. Great video. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Thanks, Huw! Nice to hear from you again. 😄
Glad you are back, I missed you. Nice video!
Thanks! 😄
Glad to see you back.
Thanks! Good to be back. 😄
Thank you for the video and positivity.
Thanks, and you're quite welcome! 😄
Great idea! I’m going to do that below my workbench for the Harbor Freight cases.
Awesome! Glad I could help. 🙂
Glad to see you posted video.
Thanks! 😄
I love this cart. Very easy and doesn't take up a lot of space. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, and you're quite welcome! 😄
What a great build thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks, and you're quite welcome! 😄
Thanks! Glad to see you back, always enjoy your videos. Take care and stay safe..
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄
I love simple utilitarian builds and I love your videos. Glad to see you getting the sub count you deserve. Big fan here!
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄
Glad you’re back
Me too. Thanks! 😄
OMG! The tips regarding kickback & how to avoid it for cross cuts was amazing for this newbie! Thanks!
Awesome! Glad I could help. 🙂
Glad to see you're back. Hope you're OK.
Thanks! And yep, I'm fine. Just needed a break, but I'm raring to go, now. 😄
Glad to see you back!
Thanks! Good to be back. 😄
Nothing wrong with functionality. Great job. God Bless, Daryl
Thanks, and I agree! (I was actually just trying to fend off people commenting on how ugly it looked - I kind of like how it looks. 😄)
Missed you Dan, glad to see you back, and appreciated the closing, not nearly enough getting along going on out there.... Happy Holidays .../Art
Thanks, Art! It's good to be back. And thanks for appreciating the closing. 😄
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
Thanks, and you're welcome! 😄
Nice to see you back.... Paul in the UK
Thanks, Paul! 😄
Excellent! You saved me time and money!
Awesome! Glad I could help. 🙂
Great, easy, quick storage build. Thanks for sharing
You're quite welcome! 😄
Thank you for sharing. I bought a couple of those organizers a few weeks back when they were on sale. I’ll save this vid and let you know how the one I build turns out. God bless.
Thanks, and I'd appreciate hearing how the build goes! 😄
Thanks! I am making one of these today!
Awesome! 🙂
This is a really good concept. I often think of using metal in a similar fashion. Thanks. Jim
Thanks, and you're quite welcome! 🙂
Thanks for a simple organizer cart.
You're quite welcome! 😄
It’s great to watch clever people. Thanks for the time putting your videos together. I made the plane blade scraper a couple months ago. As you predicted, very useful.
Thanks! 😄
Nice to see you back! Those are nice bins
Thanks! Nice to be back. 😄
Nicely done Dan. On projects like this, i would use the cheap Harbour Freight dollys on the bottom. Bottom and casters all in one.
Thanks. And wow, I didn't even know those existed (I should have looked). They're cheaper than the wheels I bought!
Always enjoy your vids, especially as a 'constant newbie WW' myself. LOVE your simple, concise directions and functional project...especially as my shop is always going through evolutions.
Awesome! Glad I could help. 🙂
Hi, we miss you. glad your back. THANKS
Thanks! Glad to be back. 😄
Thanks Dan for the upload. Been missing your project videos.
You're quite welcome! 😄
I love the way you talk about your work and ideas on projects ! Good video as always and nice to see that you are doing great :)
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄
I have watched this twice now. Worth it both times. The great thing about this is that it is basic in nature. One can then customize it at will. For instance, sides to hang tools on, or put french cleats on. A back to stiffen the case up if necessary. I used to glue everything, but I am finding out that good screws are enough to hold most things together. Commercial kitchen cabinets don't use glue and they last for years. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks, and I'm glad it's helping you. I really want people to learn that they can design simple things themselves, then, as you said, start adding bells and whistles as needed. And yes, I totally agree that good screws, along with wood that doesn't strip out easily, are plenty good for a lot of things. I'm just now taking apart something I made over 3 years ago, because I need to fix a problem. I'm glad I didn't glue it. 😄
Doing fine. GREAT video!!!
Thanks! 😄
As always, clear, complete and useful. You are a real asset to this community.
Wow, thanks! That means a lot to me. 😄
Great project, very reachable for the starter woodworker and quite practical.
Thanks, that's what I was hoping for. 😄
Nicely done! This will inspire me to get rid of the cans,jars & plastic screw cases that take up shelf space. I’ll use my label maker on the boxes to identify what’s what.
Thanks again for all your time and effort to make these very helpful videos.
Thanks, and you're quite welcome! I'll be using my label maker too, when I fill up enough bins to start forgetting what's where. 😂
Another great idea!
Thanks! 😄
Love your videos. Looking forward to getting more, more frequently!!!
Thanks! Working on a new one right now. 😄
Great Video!!! Thank You Sir!!!!👍😎😃
Thanks! 😄
I came across your channel this morning! You are an excellent teacher! You explain things as you go and don’t act like you know everything. I have some new projects on my list now. I love your humor. Keep up the great content!
Thanks! And no, I certainly don't know everything, and anything I think I know is suspect. 😂 Have fun, and stay safe. 😄
I love all your videos. You have such a great presence and are so positive all the time. And you're very clear about what you're doing. Thank you from a true newbie.
Thanks, Laura! I'm glad to know I'm helping. 😄
Seconded!
@@nicomonkeyboy Thanks! 😄
Very nice , well done .
Thanks! 😄
Always like your videos, Dan.
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄
Nice idea. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, and you're quite welcome! 🙂
Will be copying your idea for some Stanley sortmaster junior boxes. Thank you for giving me the confidence.
Awesome! Take the chance and try making something - that's what I always say. The worst that might happen is you learn something. 😄
Love this channel so much!
Thanks! That means a lot! 😄
Fixing to build one and came across your video. Thank You. You just save me some money on plywood and in my house I get tired of begging.
LOL! Glad to help.
Great video!! I’ve been interested in those bins. Now I may grab some! Glad you’re coming out with more videos. Can’t wait to see what other tips you have for us!
Thanks, glad I could help! And I'm glad I'm making videos again, too. 😄
Welcome back! Nice project. Well done.
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄
Keep up the good work/guide.
Thanks! 😄
Great video Dan. I need to get some more of those containers. The project came out great. I always say, "It doesn't have to be pretty, just practical". Keep em' coming.
Thanks, John. Practical is good. And actually, it's not as ugly as I thought at first. It's kind of growing on me. 😄
Welcome back Dan!
Thanks, and glad to be back! 😄
❤Nice video thanks for sharing God bless you and yours.
Thanks! And sorry for the late reply.
Simple is best. I usually pass over more complicated sites, as I am beyond my time in life to be “stressed” making high end stuff. Enjoy your presentation too... Thank you.. 👍
Thanks, I appreciate it. And I agree - life's too stressful, especially these days, to worry about stuff like that. 😄
I'll definitely cross my fingers and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"! Missed your humor Dan!
Thanks! I'm back. 😄
Great Video,I’m in the UK and I’m trying to learn woodworking! I also do a lot with cars so this cabinet will be great for organising bolts/nuts etc
Awesome! Glad I could help. 😄
Thanks
You’re welcome.
Thanks for sharing,,
You're welcome! 😄
This guy so funny! Like it!
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄
Hey, great video and nice simple design.
Thanks! 😄
Greetings from a hardware hoarder.! Great idea for projects outside the shop. End up trudging back several times and then not putting the stuff away after use.
I hear that! And then you can't even find the stuff! 🤬And thanks. 😄
Cool video.
Thanks! 😄
Glad to see another Newbie Dan video and love the simplicity of what you did. The only thing I'd have done differently is to space them closer together. I mean you have the space, so why not make use of it. You could get 12 of them in that same space. The good news.... you didn't use glue, so if you need more organizers, you can still make use of the space without starting over. I built mine like a wall cabinet (yes, and hung it from the wall) with two columns each of which holds 7 of those organizers and two of the bigger/deeper ones.
Thanks! And yes, you're right about the spacing. But this is good for now, and as you said, I can always change it later. 😄
Nicely done video!
Thanks! 🙂
Thanks for the non woodworking tip of standardizing on bolt sizes (1/4"). Great little nugget. Also - great simple project and video to go with it. Helps me remember we don't need to over complicate things for shop projects. And I like the idea of the HF cases. I didn't know they existed. Now I'm looking forward to getting all of my nuts and bolts etc out of recycled peanut butter and spaghetti sauce jars!
Awesome - I was hoping the bolt size thing would help someone. It's made my life a lot easier, that's for sure. As for the simple project, I think a lot of us are afraid to try building things, because we think we have to know more, or need more talent. We need to get over that fear, and create or own projects - and not worry about how others would have built them! 😄
@@TheNewbieWoodworker BTW - the cases just went back on sale!
@@spdunktube Awesome, thanks!
Congrats on hitting 100k!! Love your channel sir!
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄
I have been looking at several plans for this and I like yours as it allows me to build it was some scrap wood I have laying around and not have to go out and purchase a bunch of $$$ wood. Thanks
Awesome! Glad I could help. 🙂
Good video! Sometimes, a simple design is the best design. That front post may need to be moved back a little to let the dryer door open.
Thanks! And the dryer door opens enough. Before I put this there, we always had stuff blocking the dryer door. 😄
Very nice 👍🏻
Thanks! 🙂
This is great, I use the same bins for my leatherworking hardware and need a way to organize them.
Awesome! 😄
This is exactly what I wanted to build next. I’ve been using those ULINE bins, until I filled them all up. Then I bought dividers, which worked for awhile, even though they never stayed in place. But now those are all full too. I’m gonna start moving away from Phillips screws soon so I knew I needed a different storage solution. Your video not only gave me some good info about building this kind of cabinet, but also some great info on the storage bins themselves. You saved me a ton of money. I had no idea Harbor Freight had these! I was about to drop $40 per for big-name storage boxes. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know.
I’ve been debating whether I should buy those HF bins. Your stand helped me decide.
Awesome! Glad I could help. 😄
Nice work. I might make it. I am a newbie
Glad I could help! 😄
Nice job
Thanks! 😄
I excitedly watched as soon as I noticed a new video from The Newbie! Congratulations on the subscribers, I’m glad to be one of them. I’d like to see your build video of the bins themselves. I try supporting American made whenever I can so I’ve never shopped HF and I’m sure any bins would be nearly impossible to find with USA on them. Thanks again for the detailed, humorous content, please keep it coming!
Thanks! And yes, I don't think we could find American-made plastic bins like these. But I'll bet there are some people who make some really great-looking higher-end products.
Nicely done Dan! CONGRATS on the 100K milestone! Be well & stay safe! 👍👍😉😉
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😄
Nice this was the first video that showed once I searched! Great idea and design. If you want you can add sides to keep out dust. I might build mine the way you did and add sides if needed.
Awesome! Yes, I thought I might add sides, but never ended up needing them. Also, you can make the distance between the bins smaller than I did, if you want.
Great Idea, now waiting for the bins to go on sale again.
Thanks! And that's when I bought them (on sale) - I don't remember the price, but I remember thinking I'd better grab a bunch when I could. 😄
OMG. This is the one im looking for. Thanks for the detail info. And congrats for that many subs.
You totally deserved it. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! Glad I could help! 😄
I'm not a woodworker or beginner but i like to see your videos. Cumprimentos :)
Thanks! I'm amazed at how many people like yourself watch my videos. Makes me feel good. 😄
Nice build. This style is on my todo list. You could come back and build shelves on each side to hold spray paint cans or long clamps.
Thanks. And for sure, you can add sides and hooks and whatever.
Congrats on getting over 100,000 subs. Always enjoyyour videos an thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I appreciate it! 🙂And sorry for the late reply.
Hey Dan, Welcome back. As a fellow SoCal woodworking newbie myself, I've been enjoying your videos from the start. So Congratulations on your 100,000+ subscribers. I really enjoy your simple and cost-effective approach to woodworking projects. This project is a good example of that approach. I'm hoping to see more of your "Budget Friendly" projects real soon. Thanks again, Ray (Carson, CA)
Thanks, Ray. I'm not sure how cost-effective I am with most things, but when I started doing the measurements for having full shelves, sides and back, I discovered that's a LOT of wood! 😄
GREAT project Dan. With so many drawers, it's nice to have 1/4-20 all in one drawer etc. 100K subs, CONGRATS! !! !!!
Thanks! I agree. And thanks! 😄
Congrats on 100K. Nice build. I did something similar a couple summers ago. I made out like a bandit stocking up on hardware when OSH went out of business (man, I miss that place).
Thanks! Yeah, OSH was a place where I could always find things other places didn't have.
Those harbor freight ones are identical boxes sold elsewhere in red and grey, but compared to a box that looks nearly identical but with a stiffer clear lid from Stanley (and a red one from Craftsman at Lowe's, but it's been sold out for months), I found that the bottoms of these cheaper boxes are slightly thinner plastic and would sag in the middle when suspended on the ends, if some of the little inner bins were filled with something heavy. Then, if you turned it upright to carry it like a case, there would be a gap, and small things like washers or brads/finish nails would slip into neighboring bins. While it would indeed use much more wood, I'd suggest that it's worth the upgrade for longevity, if the boxes are more filled up (like your carriage bolt box).
I do genuinely love your idea though for the open side walls, though, to save materials!!! I'm borrowing that idea. :)
Thanks, and that's a good point. It'll be easy enough to add something to support the bottom(s) if I need to. Might even make for another video, sometime in the future! 😄
Great video, and super congrats on getting past 100K subscribers! I remember when it was single digit!
Thanks, Peter! We've come a long way. 😄
Welcome back!
Thanks! Good to be back. 😄
