No excuse not to get organized now! 😁😎 Best, Matt
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a man put so much effort into hanging up his extension cords!
I love the Carney pole at the end
It was way over engineered but I loved watching the process.
Now he has to make a hanger for the pole.
@@lucyferina Agree, loved watching it, but I spent 15$ and maybe 20 minutes to buy an over the door organizer and thought I was going a bit far to organize drop cords in the house. Bonus the little baskets on it gave a place for light bulbs. But in the garage 3 screws and couple of long metal pegs and I am good.
It was interesting to watch, but I am a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. principle(and lazy) and it just seems like too much wasted time, effort, and materials(not to mention money) to hang a few drop cords and having to get a pole and hook to get it down...let's just say that after a few months the only thing it would be holding is xmas lights. Which now that I think about it wouldn't be a bad way to store the *&^% things that always tangle.
@@mishap00 To store Christmas lights I just use a flat piece of cardboard, I cut some slits on it on each side and wrap the lights around it, making sure it gets caught in the slits, that way I store it in a plastic tub with all the other stuff and it stays flat and untangled.
@@lucyferina Its become a joke in my family that every year I put away xmas lights working and perfectly organized and someone evil elf (or whatever) sneaks in the attic ties them in knots and not a single strand works without at least half a dozen or more burnt out bulbs. Remember every darn one of them was checked and re-checked before being put away. I have tried something similar to what you have suggested, but I'll try anything once or twice or... you get the idea. In fact I've bought new lights in after xmas sales for the next year just so I didn't have to deal with it and yep they didn't work either. Sometimes your just not meant to win. lol
There are a lot of people that can make really nice furniture, cabinets, etc. out of wood. Then there are a select few that can do that but also have the vision to create complex things out of thin air. I'm one of the former, I wish I was one of the latter. You are a true master.
Absolutely amazing! The level of design for such a basic piece of equipment is scaaaary! Nice work Matt. Never a disappointment.
More angles than advanced geometry class. Love how you take something simple and make it a work of art.
You always amaze me how you can take a simple device like an extension cord storage to the NEXT LEVEL of CARPENTRY! Well done Matt!
Omg Matt, breath taking work, and that’s one next to build. I also followed your instructions verbatim on the apprentice saw horses and I am now the proud owner of two “tanks” which I comfortably have supporting a ton or timber right now, Thankyou for all of your videos. Rob (London UK)
Awesome attention to the small details. Matt you’ve done another fantastic project thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge with all of your viewers.
I must have learnt at least 20 useful techniques watching this - simple things like squaring up stacks of blocks and transferring measurements - all filed away for future use.
Amazing watching somebody work so efficiently.
(thank you)
I was just thinking yesterday, it's been awhile since Matt has released a video. Glad to see you back.
I watched, I learned, I enjoyed.
Having retired through illness & taken an 85% drop in cash flow, it gave me some ideas to fabri-cobble some junk in The Shed to fit the purpose. Many thanks & kind regards from Oz 😊
Most people on UA-cam nowadays would need a CNC machine to make this stuff, lol. Matt just makes a template. :)
...in about 5 minutes!
Which is why most people on UA-cam are not NEXT LEVEL carpenters.
I never will understand needing to use a CNC for something as simple as a radiused corner.
This is some next level layout.
True craftsmanship sir. A delight to watch. Thank you for some cool ideas.
WOW! Just wow! I love all of the math involved in this instructional video. So many different concepts to learn from here. Well done! I will watch this several times and keep it as a reference on a variety of tips used.
TaDa! Back again with storage system of the NEXT LEVEL
Oh my God it's so much time so much work's for extension cords... great job
Matt, I’ve only watched a dozen or so of your videos but this is by far the best one. And no, not because you don’t talk. And you certainly seem to have put more effort in to this project than I’ve ever spent rolling up extension cords. You packed so many techniques and fab methods into this video I could not count them all. And while you may have only put one safety warning in here (about kick back), your methods are packed with good safety practices. To all this woodworking goobers with UA-cam channels, Matt says “here, hold my beer”. I liked the ASMR format, please do more of them. The video was instructive and hypnotizing. But like one other commenter said, don’t give up talking on your vids.
yeah , Matt never babbles. everything he says in his videos is required . but , if he EVER DID babble , i would trade that video for 100 Jesse and Alyssa of Pure Living for Life's babbling " JUST JUMP BACK if you missed the last video " videos !!! TALK MATT , TALK UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME , PLEEEEEEASE !!!

Thank you for sharing, especially liked the template idea. Also didn't know kick back danger occurred when the work is wider than it is longer. Thank you!
I did something similar about a month ago(no where near as elegant, piece of scrap fence board and j-hooks), works great keeps the garage clean.
That's so great! I love how much care you've taken. Good for you!! :)
Thank you for being out there and doing this stuff. Admire your work. 👍
Next Level as always. Love it!
Fantastic project, I've Learnt So Many Techniques and Tips From This. And You Didn't Even Say A Word. Fantastic Production. So Clear And Fluid. Thank You.
There are people on UA-cam who are incredibly smart and talented. You sir are one of them.
Thank God i got Covid so I had time to watch this. Bravo, Sir, Carry On.
How a simple cord organizer can be extremely awesome! Speechless 👏👏👏👏
It's been a long time since I've enjoyed watching a video this much. The hanger is a work of art while the skills and techniques demonstrated are next level. Thank you for showing so much detail. And then to top it off, phenomenal moviemaking! I am awed by your camera setups and editing to make the video entertaining as well as instructional.
Thanks georgefellow... this video was a bit of a 'hail Mary' effort to produce a video while dealing with post-production challenges so I'm glad you found it entertaining. Hope you find other videos here at Next Level Carpentry enjoyable to watch although I've only done one other 'silent film' production. Best, Matt
Absolutely love the quality of your work watching your videos has made the things I make a much higher quality thanks Matt
Again, sir, you amaze and delight. The time-lapse was also interesting and helpful keeping it to a little over 30 minutes.....but with much more detail than you could have included any other way.
As I grew up on our farm my uncle and grandpa taught me that anything I put my hands to doing, I needed to do my best because that was a reflection of me. You sir are an example of that shirt that says "how you do anything is how you do everything". As always, another great video. Thank you sir.
Why thank you Ollie... just made my day. How great to have an uncle and grandpa to remember for such excellent advice! You're quite welcome... Best, Matt
A stunning video. Wild and incorporating alll the lessons you've taught me. Wonderful. Thank you.
Got to love the Tron Legacy music in the background. Great video, love it.
Glad I stayed til the end. Your eyes spoke volumes. Love NLC.
Henry Ford himself would be happy with some of the ‘production aids’ you employed.
Very nice project.
I'm always impressed with your ability to make templates for any situation
Loved it. I love watching and learning from you.
Love the attention to detail, when you wiped off the printing on the pipe you fed my OCD beast, thoroughly enjoy your videos, always learn something or affirm my own work habits.
LOL... so you know that red ink is the WORST!! It made a bigger mess than shows in the video and I shot the sequence 3 times to get one that 'played' OK for a video... such is the price for OCD, right?! 😉😎
Very nice job. Your enthusiasm and passion for woodworking shines when you make a project like this. 👍🏽
If a thing needs doing, why not over do it! :) Great video! Sort of reminded me of an animated version of the old "Wordless Workshop" in Popular Science!
I've been a finish carpenter for over a decade now. I always learn at least one new thing, or new technique, from Matt's videos. In this one, I picked up at least 3 new things I 'knew', but never applied to my work. In this video, as I'm watching, I'm thinking, "Wow, sure a hell of a lot of trouble to go through for a simple extension cord rack." I get the instructional on making and using templates, but still ... it's JUST a cord rack after all. About halfway through, it dawned on me. My dad used to say it all the time, "Anything worth doing, is worth doing right." Said another way, "A craftsman never half asses his way through anything. If it isn't worth making it functional and pleasing to the eye, it isn't worth doing."
Thanks for your craftsmanship, Matt. You are a constant motivation for me to up my own craftsmanship.
Glad to be an inspiration... kudos for sticking with the video and realizing the deeper message MDD. Many viewers skip out thinking 'it's ridiculous to spend that much time on a simple cord rack' and miss out too. Miss out on how effective making and using templates can be on all manner of projects. I've adopted the saying 'how you do anything is how you do everything' and imagine your dad might have shared the sentiment? Thanks for watching and commenting here! Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry I really love that saying. I really enjoy your videos and always come away with some little trick or at least a new way of thinking about tasks. Thanks Again and keep up the great work.
@@toddmalenke8261 another viewer shared that saying with me awhile back. I too liked it so much I added it as an Official Next Level Carpentry teeshirt design...
You're welcome... thanks for watching and commenting here... Best, Matt
Gotta say... I’m next level speechless. Well done!
Keep watching this man. Very well done
That's by far the best YT channel in woodworking, Matt the shiny brain. From Italy
Been called a lot of things but this is the first time I've been called a 'shiny brain'... good one! 😎
Pride in craftsmanship right there. Most beautiful and complex piece of "hanging art".
I made it to the end of the end of the end. First I've seen of your vids; I thought it was fantastic and will definitely be looking for more. Great job in both the carpentry, and the presentation!
Awesome! Details, details! The defining characteristic of Next Level Carpentry! Bravo, Sir! (Agree, it's hard not to talk, especially when one is proud of one's work!) Watched it to the sign-off!
I always pick up some tip from your videos. I had never thought about using compressed air while drilling with a hole saw to keep from burning. Brilliantly simple.
Paul Heitkemper yes when I saw that , that sure beats , turning the drill off, pulling the burnt shavings, bonded to the hot teeth , thanks Matt
If you don't need discs from the cuts like Matt did, you can just drill 8-10mm hole next to the inner edge of the circle. The chips will be extracted automatically through that hole and nothing will ever burn again.
But trick with compressed air is definitely added to my box of tricks in case I need quickly cut many round objects :)
@@oleksandrpapizhuk3215 yes, or if you do need the disc, you can drill such that the kerf of the hole saw is at the edge of the board and ejects the chips there.
This was fun and informative to watch, I learned a lot. I would have just gone to HFT and bought four of the 99 cent hose hangers and mounted them to the wall then poured myself a bourbon and called it a day...
That piece turned out like a work of art. 👏
Love this format Matt and really enjoyed watching you make the templates !!! :-)
well that was so over engineered and bloody epic!! you really did take it to the next level
I really like your videos. And in particular the sandpaper "uh...cubes" with different grid. Devilishly clever.
Grt from Holland
So it might be overengineered, but beeing from Germany it was the first video of NLC I stumbled into just by coincidence. And it provided great take home value for me: 1. using the small router together with a lightweight template and then the big one on the stacked pieces. 2. the ingenious way the triangle template was created. 3. the usage of superglue to assemble that template. 4. the "wood files" created from sander-belts (will make some of these directly over the weekend). And last but not least I have now an idea where to put my extension cords flying around in my garage (it has a similar height on one side :-)) - of course my construction for that purpose will be simpler but thanks for sharing these valuable tricks. I will use them in other projects. Great stuff man!!!
Thanks for such an informative and gracious comment Andreas!
I'm always glad to hear when someone "gets it" where this video is concerned and the list of helpful things is valuable to me because it helps plan future videos. In addition it's quite a compliment to have someone from Germany appreciate a bit of over engineering coming from a culture whose reputation is all about top-notch engineering! 😎
I know you'll love those sanding blocks when you get around to making them and hope you find other videos here at Next Level carpentry equally beneficial and informative. Best, Matt
Wow, amazing how you can mock up a template just like that, true carpentry skills!!
thanks Owen... truth be told the template I made in the video was my 2nd attempt so it looked a LOT smoother than the first attempt. This way we both learn from my mistakes, right? Thanks for watching and commenting! Best, Matt
Great job, God bless you and all carpenters.
Great project, and good job on the "Wordless Workshop" video.
The little details make all the difference. I like your sanding board rack too!
A pleasure to see a Master Craftsman work! Everyone should be in aw....!
If somthing is worth doing , it is worth doing it well... well done !
I appreciate all your great content, thank you!
Truly amazing craftsmanship! Great job sir!
Fantastic! This has been my favorite watch this week! That was so elaborate! Thanks!
You're quite welcome Gary... glad to hear you liked it! Best, Matt
Excellent video and process. It is always about the journey. Getting there is what life is about. Using what you know to create the unknown is the reason for testing your skill to experiment on shop projects. I do it all the time. When I can...Thank you for sharing.
Dang you hit it out of the ball park with this project, so many new ways and tips on doing stuff. I actually like the new format with you just doing the work. Maybe with a more complicated project voice over is needed but for this one it worked out just great. The templates were great. Thanks for the video
Love the tip with the masking tape on screw to keep it in place
Great video 👍
Nice job Matt. I love your attention to detail even in a shop project..🤘🤘
Exlent workmenship, just love it for the craftsman ship keep up good work and thank you very much.
Just came across this channel and the attention to detail with everything you do is amazing! Keep them coming.
Very well done video!!
Reminds me of a Buster Keaton film, minus the prat falls😀
Hi Matt! I was starting to worry about you. Glad you are OK. Great job on the cord rack. Bill
Cool video! I really enjoyed this format 👍
By far your best quality video you have done. I have been following you for a few months now. Bravo!!
Matt I am always impressed buy how you accomplish the task not so much as to what the project is! The techniques you use to lay out a project and excite the project are truly the Next Level of Craftsmanship not just Carpentry. 😁🛫
Matt I must say you are a Man of few Words, at least in this video!🤣🛫
Next level indeed! Love it!
I can’t believe I spent 36 minutes and 45 seconds watching a master craftsman build a masterful cord storage device and I learned so much in the process. You are amazing. I always enjoy your videos. Good job!
Thanks Mike... any chance I could convince you to edit the word "wasted" for the word "spent"? 😁😎 glad you liked the video thanks for watching and commenting!
Next Level Carpentry it was meant as a tongue in cheek statement as evidenced by my praise that followed but I’ll change it.
@@mikekernjr5121 I got a kick out of the tongue in cheek part and hope you continue to make genuine posts without fear of criticism... Best, Matt
You are truly a geometric genius. There is obviously no detail, that is too small to be included in your work. A pleasure to watch and learn!
Wish you were around to tell that to my high school geometry teacher because he might disagree with your evaluation
Of my abilities with geometry😏
Great focus and attention to detail.......respect!
A lot of cool tips and tricks in this one! Nice job and thanks.
I wouldn't have caught this if I hadn't watched another UA-cam video and done it myself. I noticed your bench grinder needs a tune up. Move the tool rests and spark arrestors within a 16th of an inch of the wheels. I also bought one of those little T shaped diamond dressing tools. It worked great.
Well, you put me to shame! Finding a home for my extension cords etc. I purchased a big hooks from the local hardware store for a few $. Matt's look like they're on another level. It's nice to see the pride in someone's work. Thanks for all the tips and the video. Cheers, David.
love to make this. and those tips you displayed are Awesome!
Simply a wood working mad man! Love your videos!!!
Plus a BONUS hook. Great PROject 😎👍
thank you, great idea/ demonstrated a lot of different techniques which was nice.
Beautiful work as always
enjoyed watching the process of making a cables hanger
at first i thought this was not so good but really the detail in showing every step and editing is great for this project. thank you
OUTSTANDING...........AS ALWAYS !
Love it! Great job.
Very cool. Thanks, great skills and ideas here!
Really like the format of this one. Nice work, sir!
I had to watch the project to the end, to see what was next. You turned a extension cord hanger into a work of art.
OMG, Soo many cool tricks of the trade in this video. The template for the triangular cut out is pure genius! The template for a hole that you need the final dimension different than your actual hole saw is something I have cursed quite a few times.
Cool that you picked out those 'cool tricks' Carl... thanks for commenting about them. The hole saw size thing? You'll be interested to know that the organizer I built in the video is V2.0. I scrapped V1.0 about half way through when I decided the holes I drilled with a 3 1/2" holesaw were just too sloppy to feature as a 'next level' project. I meant the sequence at 2:55 to pre-answer the question "why didn't he just use a holesaw" that I know would get asked. The triangle template? Yeah, that was V2.0 too: I initially drilled one hole and cut 3 radial lines 120 degrees apart but the missing saw kerfs, although slight, threw the template off to much to be next level too; hence drilling and cutting 3 separate pieces with the 120 degree angle included. All that to say that viewers aren't the only ones learning from these video! 😎
@@NextLevelCarpentry trying to get cotangent with a jig saw for those cuts is a fast way, but unless you have great blades and a great jigsaw, you will be doing a lot of work to make it look right.
This was a real pleasure to watch. The planned and measured approach was beguiling, to say the least.
I like your videos better when you narrate what’s going on. I’ve been watching long enough to know what your doing. But I still like the narration. Great video and idea!!
Great video Matt. Another reason you should be more highly watched. Please keep it up.
I need a smoke break, and I don't even smoke. Its always a pleasure to see a TRUE master in action. I loved it!
🤯🤣🤣😎
Matt this was GREAT ! - As much as I enjoy your dialogue, always informative etc, this was an interesting video, and works well.
Thanks for another stellar Idea!
Also never realized how handy the D-Handle on a router could be.
A D-handle is under appreciated to the point they don't even sell a good one anymore Greg. I'd love to replace my with its squealing bearings and 'shop rash' but haven't been able to find one.😯
That's an awesome build !
I hope Matt never comes to my shop and looks at where my cords are. He’d beat me like a Red Headed Step Child.! Great job. Loved it. Your attention to ALL the details is inspiring.
I'd be a hypocrite to diss you for where your cords are... I've had mine in an unruly heap on a high shelf for almost 2 years. Gotta go with the flow and that wad of cords finally got to me MM. Thanks for watching and commenting here! Best, Matt
Next Level Carpentry - Thanks Matt. I find that the handles of my rototiller work great for extra lengths of air compressor hose! It’s just a trip to the garden shed!

I like to think that I'm pretty good with a pencil and square In the Woodshop. but I can't help but feel like I've just been schooled!! Great video and thanks again.
