to help hold the bins in place you should glue a magnet to the inside of the bin and put a piece of sheet metal as the back wall to attract the magnets.
Further suggestion for this particular build... on the side of the drawers you can include manufacturer details/part numbers so if your usual supplier has none available you have a means of finding a backup supplier
For the sake of global happiness can Adam's editor PLEASE make a music track using all the nail gun, staple gun, hammering, foot stomping, knee slapping sounds Adam has produced during these one day builds for this year. I, for one, would be the happiest person to end the year off with an awesome track :D
Adam Savage is more of a character than a human being and I love every minute of it. I share his joy as much for doing things right as doing things lazily. I can't wait till he's a muttering old man.
I appreciate that this build was nearly uncut. I know that I've commented this before but, I really enjoy watching Adam's thought process and execution!
Having made several of these over the years my only recommendation would be to run some bungee cord from one side to the other to keep the bins in place when your moving the cart. I learned this the hard way!
A simpler way to solve this would be to have the organizer at a slight angle. It will also be easier to see the labels then. Also some padding that adds a little friction would help.
He could have drilled little holes in each shelf to match up with the pegs on the bottoms of the Sortimo boxes. Or have a little ridge near the back of each shelf to catch those pegs. Or he could put shelf liner in each one for some grip. They wouldn't slide out as easily, but that's the point.
What I’ve see done and liked is use thin sheet of metal at the back and glue a small magnet at the back of each drawer. Loved it but probably eon’t work for heavy stuff
I was just talking to someone the other day and I said that Adam is one of those people that I could watch a full 30 minute video off him taking about staples and love it. And here I am!
@@AnthonyBowman Where I work (an ISO9001 aerospace shop) all tools not NIST traceable are required to have a sticker reading "For reference only" - that's most of the everyday calipers, machinist rules, tapes, etc. When testing for conformance to a spec, you have to go to the surface plate and use the calibrated stuff. This would need a "For reference only" label...not a bad idea....
I know Adam doesn't usually read the comments but he should attach a small length of bungy cord across the front of each row of boxes. This way all the containers are held in place if the shelf tips but it's still super easy to pull the whole container when you want it. It only takes one accident one trip or one fall to just completely wreck your day with small parts in open containers.
I skipped all my breakfast time UA-cam videos when I saw this!!! Clear the decks, Savage is on!!! 6:49 ... 8 long and 3 high, 32 bins ... where's the problem? It works in the Tardis!!
I never never to think about it again.... It is such a soft pillow when you might have to think about it again for each of the next nights and days you have to live.... a Very Soft Pillow
25:54, this argument applies really well in the software development world too. There's often a half dozen hacky ways to do or fix something, whereas the proper solution might be more time consuming or harder to logic about (and thus less likely to be done). One of the caveats with the hacky way is that, it's more cryptic and thus more difficult for someone else to understand what it's supposed to do, when the hack inevitably breaks. In fact, I've often sacrificed the "clever solution" or "convoluted one-liner" just for the sake of readability or clearer conveyance of intentions. Another caveat is that it makes extending the code (say to add new features) much more difficult, because hacky solutions are often super specific to the structure of the code as-is. And thus unrelated changes elsewhere can break the hack. We have a term for "the buildup of hacky solutions". We call it "technical debt"
I just spent two years discharging the technical debt in our organization. Worked the development team to develop best practices, standards, and then rewrote code to standard, and changed structures to be maintainable. Future me will love past me. Future team will build on this.
I've seen this so often that I ran my own software development business by myself because potential 'candidates' to team up with were of the 'hacky solutions' type. I find hacky solutions loathsome. Would rather find the algorithm/maths and write the code from scratch than use some very limited but easy to implement solution full of caveats and mysteries. Also, it is great that my QA supervisor is cognizant and anal enough to consider standardization upfront. Starting from scratch on programming some of these inspection machines (including CMM) does mean that we have been modifying our system in the process - but the system is becoming more standardized and, most importantly, 'obvious'. Once such obvious processes are determined and proven, it becomes easier to apply them for everybody, including future participants, than any ad-hoc band-aids and duct-tape methodologies.
I love how much joy Adam gets from shop storage projects. It's much the same joy I get from such projects. I doubt we'll ever see it, but I'd love to see Adam buy himself a whole new space and move everything into it. That kind of organization - packing for the move, moving the stuff, and finding places for all of his storage and tool caddies - is the sort of thing he thrives on. But maybe one day he'll decide to paint all of the various caddies and tables to make them match. Not necessarily one color, but a family of consistent colors. Maybe even color coded - something for hand tools, something for power tools, something for accessories, something for consumables, different patterns for woodworking tools, metalworking tools, sanding, painting, finishing... Adam would come up with something cool.
The thing I love more than anything else (and I think it's an important life lesson) is that you admit when you make a mistake AND you capture yourself owning up to it on film. That's huge, and it's really important for anyone who supervises anyone else to be very honest about when they screw up. Letting people know you are human, and that you realize you are human, is very important. Kudos.
Adam, I'm not a builder of things in the sense that you are, but I find your method of thinking and reasoning, as well as your explanation of the way your methods have evolved (as evidenced by your reasons for the rivets) extremely valuable and enlightening.
25:08 hmmm decisions... Ending with 25:15 the energy there is a mood I'm aquainted with! Brilliant craftsmanship, an elegant solution! Thanks for going through all the process with us... Thoughts and all!
I put those staples on the front of those containers the moment I saw them at 2:05. Then jinxed you at 22:09 while watching. Good thing you found that saw!
Silicone works amazingly as a label glue. As an electrician we used it to attach phenolic labels to painted switch gear and you can not get one of those labels off without breaking it.
Was wondering if a new build came out today and lo and behold, one did, I am addicted to the 1 day builds and love how you basically take a mousetrap and make it better, I used to do that in my shop I sadly don’t have anymore, always looking to improve on storage and other things, keep up the great work
I enjoy watching these storage/organizer projects. Too often, I'm trying for perfection and spend way too much time trying to come up with, or looking for, the "ideal" solution and end up with no solution at all for long periods of time which leads to frustration when I can't find things that I know I have. Years ago, we used the term "analysis paralysis" for that when I was an engineer. Its good to see Adam coming up with a solution and getting it done even though it may not be the perfect or prettiest solution. It gives me something to think about when I'm struggling to do the same.
I take note of the energy and excitement Adam has just about gluing the examples of the drawer contents and that's the kind of energy you want as a maker.
Hi Adam. It was so funny to hear you use your last name after you made a mistake I've been making for years. Thank you for everything you do and stand for.
These videos have become a calming Zen moment to me during the lockdowns and stressed times. I Don’t even have a workshop anymore but love the content . Thanks guys .
That's how i keep track of my caps and buttons. Large amounts sit in paper bags with one example ear marked in the top left corner, but small samples for quick use sit in old photo film boxes with an example glued, sown or capped on the cover.
My $0.02. As always I have an alternate thought to using a rivet to hold the label. My thought began early in the video with "these drawers each need a cute small round graceful brass pull knob to prevent scrapping my finger while poking in and pulling out drawers day after day.". Then the serendipity hit me ... IT WILL HOLD THE LABEL TOO! Enjoy!
My grandfather was quite the woodworker, but he was also an orthodontist. Nearly all the hardware in his shop (from nuts and bolts to clamps) were stored in empty dental X-ray compound containers with this exact same type of labeling. Having an example of the price you’re looking for ON the storage space is probably the most effective way to label it.
"Classic move Savage!" That's why God created magnets on a pole! I admire your ongoing battle with shop organization. With the hobby of model railroading there seems to be a never ending story of tiny parts and tools that need organization!
I got goosebumps when Adam said he was going to glue an example of each staple to the labels and if that doesn't perfectly capture how big of an OCD, nerdy crafter I am I don't know what does lol that is perfection.
The little tiny cinematographic touches these videos have are absolutely awesome. The detail is nice and subtle but well appreciated none the less. Awesome job with every video Keep up this quality of content awesome job!!!
I love it when I find the right piece of wood I didn't know I had - then I say "Nah, I need that for another project!" I have many opportunities to screw something up. It's amazing how much I take advantage of those opportunities!
I built 2 of these structures years ago, on a larger scale, as a shoe sorter for our closets. Later I made a free standing model with the plywood sides, like yours, for our boots.
I take comfort in the fact Adam speaks to himself through the entire build. I appreciate that he's filming a semi-instructional format, though I would imagine he enters the creative fugue state and forgets the camera/audience. I speak to this extent or else my ADD brain forgets the process and gets distracted by something shiny.
Really enjoy watching your one day builds, great problem solving ideas for storage. By the way in this video right in the back ground I could not help to noticing something glowing like a furnace, you haven't installed a blacksmiths forge in there too now have you, I bet that's something you'd love to have a go at. Happy building! 😁🗜️🔩🔧🔨⚒️⚙️📏📐
Should add drawer stops for the bins so they don't fall out so easily. On the roof lip of each slot you glue/nail a small bar of wood so that the back of the bin hits this piece of wood when pulled straight out. You can tilt the bin up to make the back edge go under the piece of wood if you need to pull the bin out all the way. This could be a life saver if the whole organizer tips forward and bins start sliding out from gravity... they should all get caught by that lip and your mess to clean up is minimized. This also why many of those organizer bins are sold with a high back, so it catches on the smallest of lips to stop it.
I love watching Adams Videos to see how My favorite mythbuster i grew up with is doing on a side i remember being at a convention and seeing adam and jamie and them talking about an unaired episode of testing the myth of the cardboard of a cereal box is healthier then the cereal inside
Love the labeling. I also choose one color marker for each gauge and draw a line down the center of each bracket of nails so when they do break apart and get mixed together I at least know right away which gauge they are.
Recommendation: have front stops for the bins so you can slide them out and they don't fall out, but you can still take the bins all the way out if need be.
In art, the "finishing details" often is the longest part of a project. Your rivets are part of your finishing details. Next level labels, stamped metal labels.
06:50 '...my brain was not working' - welcome to my world 🤣 Did something similar using some of the plastic takeaway tubs. Took me somewhere around 2 years the vast majority of which was spent sitting looking at the disorganised heap of different sized boxes. If only Adam had made this a couple of years ago...
I saw one of these at a mechanics shop (Big oilfield engine repair), the guys made it out of welded steel because they could. They also did something quick and clever for it. On each row they welded a bolt, threaded end to the outside wall with only 1/4 inch of threads before the bolt head. This was done in line with the lower 1/4 of each bin. Then they strung a regular bungie cord from bolt to bolt. It held all the bins in place, but you could pull it down and draw a bin out. It had the double benefit of keeping bins locked when the tool chest was moving around the floor (and over the ramps between bays), and it kept each bin in place when it was half out of its slot as the bungie would push up from the bottom and the top of the box would press to the top of the slot. If they had to, they could unhook the bungie as it was just looped over the bolts.
I would have flipped that back board @18:33 over so the bow went in toward the back. That way the glue and nails would flatten the sides down, while the middle would try to bow in against the backs of the dividers, and you'd have a perfectly flat back, instead of one that wants to bow outward.
Watching Adam hyper spin around his workshop makes me so happy. Buttherascal in me wants to mix up the bins so the colours are random. We all know adams ocd would never allow that.
i have a tool tip for your rived gun. i use a similar one, but on the back it has a clear container. so after you pop a rived, you hit a second trigger, and that shoots the steely thing in the container and you are set for your next rived, and at the end of the job, you just unscrew the container and there you have all the nails collected.
I didn't think rivets, but rather I always seem to get fiddly with trying to actually grab the drawers (I have Vienna sausage fingers!), so I was thinking some kind of cabinet knob through the label and screwed in from the back side would have served the purpose of holding the label as well as giving me a grab point. I love the tab-slot design! I 3D print card-type models for friends and kids and tab-slot is usually the assembly design for them. SO MUCH FUN!!!
I'm learning more valuable knowledge from Tested than I ever did from the last seasons of Mythbusters. It's honestly a huge success IMO and I'm grateful that it's easy to access.

Yep just a bit of corn across the boxes tight enough to hold but loose enough to pull a tray out over the cord.

Yep.
There is something just so satisfying about watching Adam make shop infrastructure improvements. These have to be my favourite one day builds for sure

Adam, your enthusiasm and passion for building, making, tools and just being in the shop in general is so stirring. Don't ever change man.

the amount of organizing one day builds makes me want a before and after of everything in the shop thats been organized

Come on Adam. Clearance and tolerance. You should have it right. 😜
This makes me so happy! Going to make one for myself!
Looks like a hardware store display.👍 Every good shop does have that. Homemade.

Did something similar using some of the plastic takeaway tubs. Took me somewhere around 2 years the vast majority of which was spent sitting looking at the disorganised heap of different sized boxes. If only Adam had made this a couple of years ago...
Adding the fastener to the front is like an IRL Minecraft item frame... PERFECT! Super easy to identify and elegant to maintain.
Yet another awesome video. I love Adam's explanation of tab-and-slot! Gotta go ahead and make a bunch for my shop now! :D
20:42 Adam channeling his inner Mike Patey
I saw one of these at a mechanics shop (Big oilfield engine repair), the guys made it out of welded steel because they could. They also did something quick and clever for it.
On each row they welded a bolt, threaded end to the outside wall with only 1/4 inch of threads before the bolt head. This was done in line with the lower 1/4 of each bin. Then they strung a regular bungie cord from bolt to bolt. It held all the bins in place, but you could pull it down and draw a bin out. It had the double benefit of keeping bins locked when the tool chest was moving around the floor (and over the ramps between bays), and it kept each bin in place when it was half out of its slot as the bungie would push up from the bottom and the top of the box would press to the top of the slot.
If they had to, they could unhook the bungie as it was just looped over the bolts.
It would be really, really cool to be Adam Savages apprentice.
This is such a satisfying and inspirational build!
I would have flipped that back board @18:33 over so the bow went in toward the back. That way the glue and nails would flatten the sides down, while the middle would try to bow in against the backs of the dividers, and you'd have a perfectly flat back, instead of one that wants to bow outward.
Watching Adam hyper spin around his workshop makes me so happy. Buttherascal in me wants to mix up the bins so the colours are random. We all know adams ocd would never allow that.
Love you Adam, you are freaking awesome!
So satisfying. Thanks for sharing!
i have a tool tip for your rived gun.
i use a similar one, but on the back it has a clear container. so after you pop a rived, you hit a second trigger, and that shoots the steely thing in the container and you are set for your next rived, and at the end of the job, you just unscrew the container and there you have all the nails collected.
Love these kinds of builds! So satisfying.
Love that sneeze that crept up on you at about 15:15 into the video...lol
I didn't think rivets, but rather I always seem to get fiddly with trying to actually grab the drawers (I have Vienna sausage fingers!), so I was thinking some kind of cabinet knob through the label and screwed in from the back side would have served the purpose of holding the label as well as giving me a grab point. I love the tab-slot design! I 3D print card-type models for friends and kids and tab-slot is usually the assembly design for them. SO MUCH FUN!!!
I'm learning more valuable knowledge from Tested than I ever did from the last seasons of Mythbusters. It's honestly a huge success IMO and I'm grateful that it's easy to access.
love the videos Adam!!! your videos keep me motivated to go out to the shop nad make something
Brilliant work.
If a job's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.
Always good ideas I am happy to take and use for myself. Just have to “get er done”.
Adam is way too excited about organization.....I'm a little jealous.lol
