Many. It's kind of what I do here. :) (Though I dunno if "Olive, will you fix or make this?" is really DIY or someone else getting something done. :) ) (Also as future suggestions go, sometimes pre-made kits are a cheaper way to get materials. Those metal ones, if you get one that's too tall you could come off well buying that and a hacksaw. :) (It does however, seem you came off pretty well with the materials there. In the US sometimes the pre-made stuff is actually cheaper than real wood... if you can get a cut or two done at all that day. The big difference there compared to here is they don't tend to want to be responsible for any precision at all, never mind insist on getting it right. :) )
Oh, also if it's OK to plug someone else's products, check out these things called 'Wobble Wedges.' They're like plastic or rubber shims about an inch and a half long, and they can lock together to increase tension, especially if they're opposed to each other. Mostly sold for like uneven tables and the like but they're useful all over the place. (And they could be security-deposit-preservers. :)
UA-cam tricked me into watching dash cam road rage videos for the last hour and a half and my adrenaline's a bit high, so this video notification was much appreciated.
I never thought I’d be entertained by watching someone restructure their closet. The detailed process was fun and made me laugh at all of both of your thoughts and process.
Great DIY! Wait until you own a house, the home center / home improvement store / Lowes will be your second home. You will always be changing / improving / maintaining your homestead. Lots of work! But rewarding. :)
The most thorough couple on UA-cam. You make me laugh at how much details you offer us on mundane things - like how exactly the shelf fits into your cupboard 😂👏🏻
I want to call this series Kyde does Kydea.📐📏 She is "construction-guy-size" worthy now. And even though I want to see it, I guess the neighbors would not want to hear Eric with a circular saw. Great solution for the shelves and it looks nicer than before. 🪚
It's 2 free cuts at home depot and 0.25 cents per each additional cut. The same size board you bought cabinet grade is $45-$65 USD. I like the tension rod Temporal solution, nail holes are a pain to repair when you move out.
Hey! I really enjoyed taking a peek into your crib again. Don't want to sound like a weirdo, but it's so satisfying when you invite us into your apartment. You simply make these videos great, whether they've been shot outdoors or in your flat. Kyde, your measurements were legit! Cheers!
I love these videos! I'm sure there are laws about filming in a store in Japan (or at least staffpersons might balk at filming) but if you could do more of these videos, so we can live vicariously in Japan. Or shop vicariously for Japanese groceries. I think the store you are in might be similar to what we have in Canada, Canadian Tire but three times the size. CT sells auto, home improvement, sports, kitchenware, garden supplies but doesn't have a lumber yard. And... the restaurant Pan Canadian?!? I want to try that place out for myself!
Yea, it can be hard to film in places like this for sure, more for social reasons. Some people don't care but some do, so it's just complicated logistically to keep everyone happy. -E
Nothing to do with the video but TIL that the japanese curries are so different from the indian curries is because Japan first came in contact with it from the British when Japan first opened up for foreigners. (I have the feeling that Eric might have seen it on Reddit too but it needed to be said XD )
They are hardware or home improvement stores or warehouses here in Australia. Bunnings Warehouse (the ones where you can get a sausage in bread/sausage sizzle out the front on some weekends as a local fundraiser) is one of the biggest now as Masters went broke and sold all their properties. We also have Mitre 10, Home Hardware, True Value Hardware, Thrifty-Link and a few others. DIY became massive here once covid hit us, every store was doing car or truck deliveries and were running out of stock for actual builders!
Clearly Kyde has a civil engineering brain. All that checking and cross-checking. I know this as I sat next to a civil engineer on a course and the organisers put me next to him as I was also an engineer to their mind. His projects were bridges built in Korea and the spans had to fit within a few inches of tolerance when they arrived. I was a software engineer : if it fails, recompile or patch and try again :). In terms of personality profiles we were miles apart and almost killed each other :) I terms of wood price: In England that would be incredibly expensive unless you choose a dense hardwood.
Happy Apartment Day! You have a decent size apartment but I can sure see what your frustration is re closets. Where I’m at in USA we call them Big Box stores or DIY Stores. Would be so cute to put googlie eyes on the rumba lol.👍🏻😊
The Lowe's or Home Depot around here is likely to have a hot dog stand or occasionally some other food truck outside. But, even bigger precedent is IKEA with their cafeteria inside! Also, until the early 80's at the latest, department stores (the big standalone ones in American downtowns, not the later ones in the malls) usually had some sort of cafeteria in the basement or near the ground floor.
Simple, yet fun video... Enjoyed... 0:35 Obtuse & Obscene... ☺ I believe Acute was what y'all were searching for... 11:38 The mock-up food sizes do look kinda huge... Happy apartment day...
😆 I live in North Carolina, and I shit you not, Sunday I was trying to think of what you would call a store like Lowes or Home Depot. I knew hardware store didn't quite fit. Thank you. I also just say "I'm going to Lowes."
21:50 With the 5 o'clock chime and the sounds in the background and the sight of the dango, I was in Osaka for a few moments. It's funny how certain sensory cues can recall a memory that you didn't even know you had.
Fascinating to see how Kyde iterated her thought process as the project evolved. Good call on using the tension rods to stabilize the legs without using nails, but some wood glue would have worked. If you want to see a whole house project, Jaya over at Tokyo Lama is doing a whole house renovation.
Just moved. Have been buying lots of stuff from my local "home centre" including timber. 5000 yen for a dressed laminated board that big is very cheap compared to Australia. I've spent that much on a board half the size. And they cutting station won't make any cuts down the board the will only cut across the board or perpendicular to the grain.
I'm sorry, I don't remember the name of the app, it was just something we installed, used and deleted when we were done. There were many to pick from. -E
Haha ha my wife calls me hangry bear when I have not eaten. Cigaret vending machines disappeared in California in the 1980s. I built a shoe rack for the entire way. Fun vlog.
That was very definitely more than half a body! Edit: I mean the closet of course Edit 2: I watched the whole thing with a big grin on my face. Such good vibes! Thanks!
I once used a similar system to put shelves in a wardrobe but used double sided tape to keep it in place. The name of the video trickered UA-cam to show adds for toolboxes and real estate agents :-)
I'm assuming the answer is likely no but would a smaller/thinner ikea wardrobe fit in a corner of the bedroom for additional storage in there? We used ikea wardrobes/closets to add storage to our tiny century home and it worked great
Those tension shelves with the bars seem like a japan thing to me (never seen that before except in Japanese products plus the overall style of it being perfect for people renting places)
You could have just brought the metal shelves you found first at the home centre. They were the right width but too tall. But you could have just cut the 4 supports to make it the correct hight. They probably could have done it for you in the store. As they cut all that wood
I liked this episode of Kyde vs the Closet Disaster. I had a similar adventure once while trying to find a board and get it cut to prop up some drawer organizers in a closet. The organizers were measured to be the perfect size... but the trim at the baseboard made it so they didn't fit. Why is there even trim inside a closet?! (They limit you to only 2 or 3 cuts per board here in the US, that gets real tricky).
Using dowels would make is much safer than relying on that metal rod, and barely harder to change in the future. but it requires to make holes into both vertical and horizontal boards
We don't have the tools for that, so it'd be an added expense. But these metal rods are very sturdy, they can hold a surprising amount of weight, and now they are just holding outward pressure with no weight. I think it'll be fine. -E
Is it wrong for me to say that Japan is an island and only 15% of it is inhabitable and so everything goes small? Love your vids. Kyde is short and Eric is tall.Just sayin'.
Obtuse and obscene LOL I wish I had gone to that school. EDIT: for reference, I recently went to home depot and purchased an 8foot by 4foot piece of 3/4inch plywood that was pre-sanded. I had them cut it down the middle width wise and while the cut was free the entire piece was around $53 USD.
Wow ! Kyde! Great job done ! Isn't it usually man 's job ? 😜 where is THE man ? I just finished my closet work. I got parts and materials from IKEA and Home Depot...cost about $3,000! 💰 My free slave labor 😷😂🍻
Not sure if this link will work. When the contractor finished the work in our walk-out basement, I decided to build a bar. app.photobucket.com/u/metaryder/a/2d599e4f-0a08-45fd-9307-cae0803a5b75

"Let's go to the Home Center"
I never thought I’d be entertained by watching someone restructure their closet. The detailed process was fun and made me laugh at all of both of your thoughts and process.
I love DIY stores. They're like toy shops for adults.
Damn, haven't seen you guys in like 7-8 years, glad you still make videos
Haha, glad you swung back by! -E

The lumber cutting service is amazing. I with they had something like that at any home improvement store near me.
Great job! An innovative idea that doesn't require throwing a bunch of money at it. And this is definitely apartment friendly! :D

Thank you for supplying the relevant dog gif. Made my lunch break.
Yakidango and school bells.... dam right in the feels.
This was such a cool video. Enjoyed seeing this side of stuff it was super interesting! And Kyde those shelf’s came out 👌
I love it, you are so creative
Finally, music in your video! ✌🤗 i remember your napolitan noodle episode where you placed the leftover inside the plastic bag
It's 2 free cuts at home depot and 0.25 cents per each additional cut.

Nice work.. Go Home Day! I would have just used L brackets with screws from Daiso! I have done similar with my kitchen cabinets. 👍🏻
Very cool. Nice and functional is what you wanted and it looks like it worked.
Random things we don’t go into very often lol love that description of storage Kyde!
I love the Tokyu Hands stores for these kinds of projects as they seem to have everything there.

Very good video. Get your art supplies out and paint pictures on the extra shelf legs. The Mona Lisa is a wood panel, who knows what you might do.
Nice
We went to one of those stores. That was fun dragging boxes across Tokyo on public transportation 🤣
That is the most functional system you could possibly have in that closet. I'm super impressed with the tension rods and the leg-shelf system.
At least 2020 wasn't a complete global failure
We have to cling to these small victories
I never clicked on a video this fast before! XD
That's a lie.
Apartment day 2020 Success! :)
Cool! Can you share a link to the location of this home center? Would love to just look around what's in there

4x8 feet birch Plywood costs about $70 over at Lowes right now. And the stuff you got is nicer.
Just moved. Have been buying lots of stuff from my local "home centre" including timber. 5000 yen for a dressed laminated board that big is very cheap compared to Australia.

Hello, love the video, what is the name off the app Kyde is using for the measurement? Thank you 🙏🏻

Aww I think I saw that fancy brown silk scarf Eric wore in storage. Big box store
Hahaha...... I thought I was going to watch a video on how to make an "obscene" closet :)
Most European DIY stores also sell things like bicycles, seasonal decoration and plants.
I once used a similar system to put shelves in a wardrobe but used double sided tape to keep it in place. The name of the video trickered UA-cam to show adds for toolboxes and real estate agents :-)
hahahah
Home projects with Kyde! I have gone to the Homie Depot over the years to buy wood and build shelving units.
Its a only closet guys....its seems to complited for them...i design hosue , draw high bldgs and details..haha
I'm assuming the answer is likely no but would a smaller/thinner ikea wardrobe fit in a corner of the bedroom for additional storage in there? We used ikea wardrobes/closets to add storage to our tiny century home and it worked great
Yea maybe, but we don't really want another "thing" if we can avoid it. -E
Those tension shelves with the bars seem like a japan thing to me (never seen that before except in Japanese products plus the overall style of it being perfect for people renting places)
Comment for the shelf
You could have just brought the metal shelves you found first at the home centre. They were the right width but too tall. But you could have just cut the 4 supports to make it the correct hight. They probably could have done it for you in the store. As they cut all that wood
I'm not sure they had the means to cut the metal legs, but even if they did we managed to make something just as workable for less money.
Obtuse or Acute angles. Engineer here. Like your info.
What mechanical pencil is that?
Also are they common place over pens in Japan?
haha. not sure what pencil it is, nothing fancy.
Measure twice, cut once. And then drink a lot of wine...
Wait i'm a bit confused so how do they stand up if yall didn't put up supports on the side like the previous shelf you showed that was there before ?.
We put tension rods holding up the sides in the top back corner. -E
You could look around for a hacker space. My local one has lots of woodworking tools, so maybe yours would have some too. Just for some simple DIY
I wonder if that exists in Tokyo. Hrm.
@@kydeanderic hackerspace.connpass.com/
These guys look promising!
Fun stuff. I'd eat that pasta! Here in the U.S. $60.00 would get me a premade bookcase the size of the entire closet. but hey...Japan.

Shouldn't Kyde get the bigger closet? Just asking.
Why? I'm the one who dresses dope. -E
Why did you not use screws? It does not need to be permanent and will add the structural rigidity that will give you peace of mind.
We considered them, but in the end the tension rods were even easier to install and are incredibly sturdy as they aren't bearing any weight. -E
I usually just call them "hardware stores", but have been slowly transitioning to "home improvement stores."
