I think your great...i love your passion I'm 46 years old have not touched a piece of wood since my grandfather died when I was 13 I still have his tools I spent the last three years in a wheelchair and watching your shows have motivated me to do it again thank you I appreciate the push
Very nice. Good idea to make them removable, not only to transport to a job site, but for cleaning. Another really good feature is, by being inside a closet, you can close the door to keep dust and flying chips out of your hardware. Bravo again!!!
Thank you for your candid ideas and your recent free bin plans and assembly. I am much older than you but I too, had started with nothing and very little woodworking experience... But started building things and got better.... Kitchen raised panel cabinets, grandsons's 5 drawer chests to name two of the many things I have made for wife, children, and grandkids.... Keep your ideas coming, and yea watch your hand so close to the miter saw... I had a two fingers contact with an old 4" jointer and the pain was extreme.. I just nicked the fingers by the the nail bed and a piece of bone at tip...
I have found that building in a magnet at the bottom of the cup/bins helps keep in the metal hardware. In the past I have been known to spill the cups/bins over, spilling all the hardware. After I made a few with magnets in the bottom they stayed in place. Keep up the great work all your projects and ideas are awesome!!!!!
Really nice to meet you at Rockler this weekend. Great demonstration of joinery. Thanks so much. My Dad was a huge fan of french cleat method for shelves in a room, and made some nice shelves for all my kids room years ago. It was a solid connection. Nice use of the back of your door.
I had considered buying the plastic ones from Harbor Freight for use at the school I teach at, but yours are so simple and I can make them the size I need rather than be limited to what some ones else sells. Thank you and have a happy Easter.
Having the ability to customize the sizes is definitely the reason to make your own, but if the plastic ones are already the size you need then it will save a lot of time! ; ) Happy Easter to you as well.
Thanks April. I've said it before to you, your not editing out the flaws, is quite admirable. I know that I probably would not have taken into consideration the closing of the door either. Have a Stellar Day!
Love your videos April! Just want to suggest switching your hands when using your chop saw. If you use your left hand to feed the wood and your right hand to operate the saw and remove the cutoff, you hand will be placed under the spinning blade. Just looking out for ya.
Thank you, but when using the miter saw with a stop block you need to be holding the piece that is between the blade and the stop block because if it binds then that is the piece that will come flying back.
@@AprilWilkerson But if it comes flying back, won't it rotate in the process, drawing your hand toward the blade? I saw a video where the guy did this with a table saw, when it binded, it twisted and flew back and that twisting drew his fingers towards the blade. Very scary. not sure if it would be different here....
Excellent timing April. Thank you. We just remodeled our shop at work and needed a better way of organizing parts and supplies. This will take care of that problem, and take up far less room. I'm thinking it will save us about 3/4 of the space we were using for parts prior to doing this with the french cleats...now to buy materials Monday and get this done. Thanks again for your awesome ideas.
April Wilkerson We had 1 wall floor to ceiling about 20 feet long 9 feet high full of parts & accessories that took up tons of shelf space, and after a few weeks it was all mixed up again. This bin & cleat system will sure straighten everything out.
I remember liking the French cleat bin storage roll around cart. It has worked out well. I don't always do exactly what you do but I do get a lot of good ideas. You are a very clever girl. Thanks
Love the use of space, the french cleats and especially use of the "old" bins. That's one very nice attribute of using the French cleat system, is it's dynamic uses/setup. If you have multiple areas that use the cleats, you can easily re-purpose bins and such for other items. Great project! Love to see what else you might do with the cleats / bins. (And the colors you choose to paint them.)
April just a idea if you take out one pcs of what you have in the bins and glue to the front of the bin then you could go higher up on the door then you could see what is in the bin without seeing in the bins great idea using inside of the door
Great idea to use the back side of the door for an out of the way storage location that is not being used for anything else!!! I make bins out of 4" pvc pipe cut to 3.25" and a mdf bottom. I only have to glue the pipe to the mdf. No tedius glue up. Cuts the time to make the bins by a ton. And the PVC pipe is about 80 cents a foot so the cost is about 25 cents to make. True that the round shape isn't as efficient as rectangular, but for the time savings, I think it's worth it.
Nice creative work, April! If that door is hollow-core, too much weight will peel the skin right off the door, you may have to run a few bolts clear through to a vertical strip on the back of the door to hold it together. Or just don't put much hardware in those bins. All the best, kid!
It's a solid core door like I said at the start. I also have three commercial hinges on it with upgraded screws, so it will be fine. : ) I've had the other door loaded down for over a year and it's doing great.
Your assume. Built a new 30 x 40 medal building to move all my wood working equipment. Now to get started arranging it. Your videos are very helpful and will share photos of my projects from your videos.
Another nice shop organizer. Great ideas AND it’s particularly nice to see you admitting a mistake before correcting for it. Don’t believe I ever saw Norm Abram doing that in the 21 years I watched his show. Keep up the great work. My only wish is to see your projects more frequently.
Thanks April, made a few of my own over the years and appreciate your plans for storage boxes I love your three sizes, they seem to cover the full gamut of useable sizes. without trying to think which size you should slap together, thanks again... Alan in Ottawa Canada
Great video April I just purchased a bunch of the plastic ones from the local home store to use hung on the wall but with the different weights of things I put in them they don't look very organized. I will have to build something like this. Thanks again.
Nice idea. I would be interested in something like this but portable. A centre handgrip on plywood then cleated both sides. Something for copper fittings, hardware, clips, hangers, brackets and such. I don't work in a shop environment so it would need to be portable. Nice work!
nice. you got a big spare bit of space on the top of the door. drill holes up there for some magnets to hold baking trays. You can tip a bin out in them, find what you want and pour them back in the bin. saves time looking for a poking stick.
Fantastic idea! I really like the usage of that space. An idea that occurred to me while watching that would allow for going higher on the door: with that front face being angled downward, it's a perfect spot to use a label maker (or just write on it). While you can't necessarily see what's in there, the label would be easily visible.
Great use of space. Try hot glueing a rare-earth magnet to the inside base of each container (obviously play around with sizes) to keep the small bits in should the door accidently slam shut. also keeps everything in if a lose bin gets knocked while on the bench.
just a suggestion, you might take out the 6 center bins (2 rows of three) and put a mini shelf there to give you place to set thing down temporarily. I build a shelf on my hardware bin cabinet and since realized just how handy that little island can be. love your videos.
Howdy April!! Always love watching your videos, very creative, educational and helpful! Keep them coming! Just a tip- the tedious and repetitiveness of assembly of the little bins could have been eliminated (mostly) by not chopping the pieces up on the miter saw until after assembly. Basically, make long troughs (like a rain gutter) consisting of a back, bottom and front. Glue and tack them all together, then take the trough and chop it into bins on the miter saw. Now you only have to add the sides to the bins. I am always on the lookout for ways to expedite a process, and often times building a solid object and cutting it into the parts needed is faster than all the detail work of cutting many little parts to put them all together individually. Either way, great job! Cheers!
Great job as usual but I plan to use 1/8" hard board for the sides as 1/2" strength is not needed. They will be slightly lighter plus take up less horizontal room. Love the French clean idea. Thanks
Great job April I hope it works out for your needs. I had a store bought system of the same idea, it had metal rails and plastic bins. I didn't care for the system though. It seemed like everytime I got near the thing the bins were to easy to knock off the rails. Oh Happy Easter.
Hm, I've been using this caddy for over a year and have never knocked off a bin before. I wonder if the angle of the cleats have something to do with it. I know those plastic ones are really shallow.
I don't know how I stumbled on this but I’m glad I did. I am currently looking to do the exact same thing. I was going to buy a bunch of crappy plastic bins (they are surprisingly expensive for the bad quality of them). But after watching your vid, I am convinced that making my own is the way to go. Thanks for the inspiration and yours are fantastic! Great idea and execution. Thanks for sharing! Just subbed and liked the video 🙂
Great system for storage.I got to see you in Rocklin yesterday.You're even nicer in person than you are on camera.I think you really made a little girl's day.
: D Aw thanks for making the trip, It was so delightful to meet her. It's very motivating and heartwarming to hear/see positive effects from doing this.
I was glad to be there.I wasn't with her family,but by the look on her face she was thrilled to talk to you.I have a lot of respect for anyone who takes the time to show a child how important they are.She will probably have a great future and you played a part in that.
Love every video that you put out. I always learn a little more every time I watch you. And for an old woodworker I'm always shocked by not always knowing some of the stuff you do. Thanks alot keep up the good work.
Steve Ramsey at Wood working for mere mortals made lighter-duty mini drawers and used a method to make them all at once then saw them apart when done. It looked to be a very fast process. In this project, you would need to use MDF for the sides, and you could use long boards for back, bottom, and front parts then saw the extra wide sides in half to separate the "drawers". Doesn't fit the requirement of scrap only, and may be lighter duty than required but for sure cuts the tedium waay down. My 2 cents.
+April Wilkerson Fair enough. I never use it because my shop isn't waterproof. But that means my materials cost goes up considerably - heirloom shop projects? :)
Nice job. If there are only two hinges on the door I would add a third in the center. And now you'll never forget to check clearance on doors before mounting things to the inside.
I've been using a multi stand as an outfeed table and it's been working great! I like it much better then building a dedicated outfeed table. At least for the time being....
+April Wilkerson I used to use one of those until I had some close calls and that chanced my mind in a hurry. I use a plastic top folding table that I purchased at Costco. It's easy to fold the legs and put away. Just a suggestion. Keep the the videos coming and be safe. :)
Hi April, nice space saver ! ( just like a lady to be organised ....) One comment i'd make is perhaps you need to fit a couple of extra hinges on the door to prevent issues later on of door dropping.
: ) Thanks Graham. The door actually has three commercial steel hinges already on it. I have a shelving unit on the other door, fully loaded down, and it hasn't caused any problems with the door.
I think I spotted a Benchmade Griptillian. I love Benchmade folders with the Axis lock. I can't imagine ever owning a frame lock or any other lock for that matter. I have the Contego now. Can't decide if it is obnoxiously big in a good way or a bad way, but I secretly love it.
Ha, good eye. How the hell did you catch what made and model I have? I agree on the Axis lock, it's my favorite kind but I have another Benchmade that has a linerlock and I don't mind it. I don't think the Contego is too big, my husband has the Osborne and it's perfect for a man.
+April Wilkerson I've had two Griptillians; carried one every day for like 5 years, I can spot that shape from a mile a way. But to be fair, it was on the bench in one of the shots, easy to see. I found that using the butt end of the Griptillian to pry open beers added good character to the overall appearance.
April, it looks great. Maybe, you could move the screw and nail box shelves on the upper part of the door. That would free up some wall space. Do you need to add another hinge so the door handle can the weight? Thanks for the video. Have fun in Atlanta.
I was thinking about doing that, but I don't think I want to open this door any time I want screws. I reach for my screw boxes so often, whereas the hardware that I store in here is only occasionally. I'm going to have a look around my shop and see what I want to store up there, I'm sure something still needs a home.
Interesante la propuesta que se da en la organización y diseño de un organizador, me parece genial el que una chica esté enseñando el arte de la ebanistería, la felicito desde Santiago de Cali, Colombia, Fuerte abrazo.
When you see a house under construction, stop by and ask the man in charge for some scrap wood. 1/2" OSB (the same stuff on your walls, also plentiful in construction scrap piles) will work just fine for your little bins. Paint if you don't like the flakey look.
I was serious my dear. You have an amazing channel with awesome content. I watch the whole video. Not just the subject of the video. I have learned a lot more by doing that. Thank you for an amazing channel. Happy Easter to you and yours. Keep those videos coming.
I think you should paint each row a different color. That way it makes it easier for you to re organized if you have 4 or 5 bins pulled out at one time for the same project.
Knowing me I would have just remover the Jamb (Stop) on the casing as it really does little for a door. but it would have saved a bit time... but over all a nice way to just get bit more room in your little shop... A+ April ... Now off to the next thing..
I just have a personal rule where if my hand or fingers is 4" or closer to the blade or rotating part, I may look for a different way of doing it. This is from someone who got a nice Roman ogee scar on the tip of my ring finger using a router table of all things, routing a small piece. Very nice project though. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while.
Nice solution since I was considered doing something for the boxes like you have on the wall. However I noticed recently the big box stores are using plastic containers.
I think your great...i love your passion I'm 46 years old have not touched a piece of wood since my grandfather died when I was 13 I still have his tools I spent the last three years in a wheelchair and watching your shows have motivated me to do it again thank you I appreciate the push

btw, if the hinges give up a little, stick a castor on the front leading edge, well not a castor, just a fixed wheel of some sort.
+Sirus My thought exactly, Good job April
Thanks, April. Love your builds. Here's an idea I've found. Hot glue an identifying fastener to the front of each bin. Helps in a few different ways.
Thanks April, made a few of my own over the years and appreciate your plans for storage boxes I love your three sizes, they seem to cover the full gamut of useable sizes. without trying to think which size you should slap together, thanks again... Alan in Ottawa Canada

Nice video as always April! You've made over a hundred workshop project videos to date! Good for you!
I love the idea of making the bins rather then buying the cheep plastic things! Thanks for the great inspiration!
I love those french cleats. We have 3 walls covered in cleats in our shop.
It makes rearranging simple.
Great job as usual but I plan to use 1/8" hard board for the sides as 1/2" strength is not needed. They will be slightly lighter plus take up less horizontal room. Love the French clean idea. Thanks
I like the addition of music and double speed on some of the video. Nice job editing April!
April Great job .
The only thing I would add is a wheel to the bottom right side (inside) of the door for added strength and to prevent sagging .
The door has three commercial grade hinges on it with upgraded screws. : ) It will be fine.
Lol. I saw the door jam issue as soon as you pout up the first stick..great idea and great build again April.
Great job April I hope it works out for your needs. I had a store bought system of the same idea, it had metal rails and plastic bins. I didn't care for the system though. It seemed like everytime I got near the thing the bins were to easy to knock off the rails. Oh Happy Easter.

Good job sister, always a great learning curve & no pride in showing it, really proud of you.
: ) Thank you Jeff.
A suggestion for you, you have a lot of open space above the top row of bins, you could use that space to put hooks for extension cords.
Good idea. : ) I only have one extension cord and it's on a reel but that's a great suggestion that might help out a future viewer!
I don't know how I stumbled on this but I’m glad I did. I am currently looking to do the exact same thing. I was going to buy a bunch of crappy plastic bins (they are surprisingly expensive for the bad quality of them).

The design of these bins is very good!
great idea to organize your shop....have a great time in Atlanta.
Wow I just love how you can make a project out of anything, you make things look so darn easy keep up the good work April!
My sentiments exactly, you go Girl!

Everybody has their way of making things. I used MDF for the first one and will never use MDF again.
+April Wilkerson Fair enough. I never use it because my shop isn't waterproof. But that means my materials cost goes up considerably - heirloom shop projects? :)
You can never have enough storage. Great video April!!
Agreed! Thanks!
Hopefully that door and its hinges hold up! Looks good.
+Cars Simplified ... She can always attache a small wheel at the bottom of the door to hold the weight.
I need this in my shop so bad. I have screw boxes and nails boxes everywhere. Thanks for this video.
I've been putting this off for far too long (in my own shop). Thank you for making it look easy, and motivating us! Great video!
Nice job. If there are only two hinges on the door I would add a third in the center. And now you'll never forget to check clearance on doors before mounting things to the inside.
No worries I have three commercial steel hinges on the doors already. : )
+April Wilkerson I just learned to pay attention to the video. You can see three hinges as you open the doors right at the beginning
April, you are amazing, thank you for sharing your knowledge. In Brazil everybody like you !
Hi April, Great video, you may want to think about building an outfeed table for your tablesaw, it would make things a lot easier and safer.
I've been using a multi stand as an outfeed table and it's been working great! I like it much better then building a dedicated outfeed table. At least for the time being....

I think I spotted a Benchmade Griptillian. I love Benchmade folders with the Axis lock. I can't imagine ever owning a frame lock or any other lock for that matter. I have the Contego now. Can't decide if it is obnoxiously big in a good way or a bad way, but I secretly love it.

very cool to see a women so passionate about woodworking, impressive work, videos are done really well , very informative
: ) Thanks
4 in 1. I would also suggest adding in 2 more hinges on most doors just to be safe. nothing fancy just screw em in.
Great project, inside the closet will limit dust collecting on the bins!
Yep! Added bonus.
April, it looks great. Maybe, you could move the screw and nail box shelves on the upper part of the door. That would free up some wall space. Do you need to add another hinge so the door handle can the weight? Thanks for the video. Have fun in Atlanta.

Interesante la propuesta que se da en la organización y diseño de un organizador, me parece genial el que una chica esté enseñando el arte de la ebanistería, la felicito desde Santiago de Cali, Colombia, Fuerte abrazo.
When you see a house under construction, stop by and ask the man in charge for some scrap wood. 1/2" OSB (the same stuff on your walls, also plentiful in construction scrap piles) will work just fine for your little bins. Paint if you don't like the flakey look.
teacher , I like all your works
Well said.
first thing you did was taking away the small white cubboard inside the closet....😄nice work April👌
: ) Good eye. I had my husband move it, it was so heavy there was no way I could lift it.
An awesome project by an awesome lady with awesome nails. On her hands.
Haha! ; )
I was serious my dear. You have an amazing channel with awesome content. I watch the whole video. Not just the subject of the video. I have learned a lot more by doing that. Thank you for an amazing channel. Happy Easter to you and yours. Keep those videos coming.
Great use of that space April.
You´re right... tedious project, but still awesome... you´re great. Greetings from Colombia
you gotta LOVE a multi-tool!!!
Agreed! it's one of those tools that you don't reach for all the time but when you need it, not many other tools would do.
love the gunslinger look of you nail gun gaging at your hip 😂. Doc April lol. Great idea and use of excess closet space :)
Excellent project and video.
We are looking forward to this weekend in Atlanta, my wife and I are looking forward to meeting you.
Good job cleaning up all our shops thanks for your help
I love watching your videos. I really like watching your space saving videos. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I did a similar arrangement. Great to have the little bins so I can carry around. Thanks for posting..
Nice one! That might be a solution to my constant mess issue in the workshop! Thank you April!!!
Nice job. The ever evolving shop.
I think you should paint each row a different color. That way it makes it easier for you to re organized if you have 4 or 5 bins pulled out at one time for the same project.
THANK YOU, April ! This old man learned a lot from this video. Expecting more great ideas from you, I have subscribed. Thanks again.
Bardzo fajny sposób na segregowanie rzeczy i nie zajmuje dużo miejsca.Pozdrawiam i czekam na więcej.POLAND.
Another great video. Thanks and Happy Easter.
Happy Easter!
Great Idea I like the idea of removing one box at a time then put it back cool idea
Knowing me I would have just remover the Jamb (Stop) on the casing as it really does little for a door. but it would have saved a bit time... but over all a nice way to just get bit more room in your little shop... A+ April ... Now off to the next thing..
verry smart idea april!!! at this rate in a year the shop will be amazing!!!!!!!! keep it up👍
Appreciate your excellent quality of work and how you make best use of given space. Have a blessed day April.
Thank you! You too!
I just have a personal rule where if my hand or fingers is 4" or closer to the blade or rotating part, I may look for a different way of doing it. This is from someone who got a nice Roman ogee scar on the tip of my ring finger using a router table of all things, routing a small piece. Very nice project though. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while.
Thanks for the plans, I have a lot of scrap and should be able to make a nice one for me.
Perfect job as usual April.
I like how simple those bins are. ..I'll be making some soon. Thankx for another great video and Happy Easter to you and yours April 😃🐇
Happy Easter to you! : )
+April Wilkerson Thank you😃
Why go through all that effort? Just buy plastic ones
I think there is a Mario pipe level in your storage closet.
Good to watch your journey, I enjoyed when you made the trolley...
One more way to used dead space for cleaning up the shop. Great video.
Nice solution since I was considered doing something for the boxes like you have on the wall. However I noticed recently the big box stores are using plastic containers.
love the storage. i need to do something like that. nice job
Great work April..
