Why would you mock up the plywood and not the foam core? If you used 1/4" ply wouldn't the hot glue hold it just fine? Also, do you use the "normal" hot glue, or some exotic type?
When inserting a fresh glue stick, if you'll touch the front of the stick to the nozzle of the glue gun melting it slightly when you insert the stick it will glue itself to the back of the old stick giving you a smooth continuous feed.
@@EldarKinSlayer i wanted to say "stick the fresh hot glue stick with hot glue to the back of the previous hot glue stick so the hot glue stick doesn't fall from the hot glue gun" but you beat me to it.
You know it’s going to be a good day when there’s another one-day build video release!! I don’t know if your reading this Adam but you’ve been such an inspiration throughout my childhood and now when I turn 18!! I’ve made so many things that I thought I would never be able too!! Thank you for being a big inspiration that I could look up too🙂👍🏾
same here! I remember getting up at 5 am to watch Myth Busters on tv and now I'm 18 as well and I am so so so happy to have found his UA-cam channel last year!
Thats exactly how I feel lol everyday is filled with stress and anxiety and I'm only 25 but take care of a big family, everyone in my family has mental health issues and addiction ect nobody works its all crazy but i wake up early just to watch a Adam savage video before my day starts or before bed, it gets my mind off things like 3 days ago having to go to hospitals and during covid as a germaphobe because my niece tried to leave this planet and then last week was there for my uncle he drank too much and almost died then my grandmother had to go over the stress, I just do my best to help everyone... but I try to give myself some peace with these videos, Adam is putting more time on my life for sure helping get some peace lol plus I don't have a dad so Adam has been a great role model for me.. his Twitter makes my day, his political views are same as mine and he's such a great person! Hope he knows he does so much for people, especially us young men who don't have a male figure around to teach us stuff.
I absolutely love shop infrastructure builds! It's inspired me to improve my own lab infrastructure and it's been a journey! Thanks Adam and Tested team!
Foamcore organization is the best! Several years ago, my wife needed a pencil jar - 5 minutes with some hot glue and foamcore scrap. Almost 10 years later, she's still using it. There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works.
I've been working on a project since 2013 😭😭😭 Every year or two I make progress, but I'm beginning to think the Nintoaster 64 is never going to happen (but to be fair, RadioShack closing didnt help)
@@eugeneevergreen3850 I started building a Dalek in 2010... I got most of the electronics and hard to find detail pieces sorted in a few months... I am still at that point, ten years later. But I do plan to finish it... one day. I don't have a workshop where I can do wood and metalwork currently, so that's a pretty obvious hinderance.
I solved it by wrapping all the things around the compressor. It's on the floor so if I accidentally step on a tool there's a high chance of me not needing it anymore.
I miss mythbusters with you and the original cast. I really miss Grant, he would be proud knowing you cary on building and doing what you love. Entertaining all of us, thank you so much Adam.
Adam I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching your builds! I’m 66 now but as a boy I’d work with my dad in the garage on projects and this takes me right back! I’ve even gone back to Mythbusters and I’m bing watching them all! Such an amazing show! I wish you were back doing those or even Savage builds! There is something really special about watching such a skilled and talented artist! Thank you Adam!
Imagine being Adam Savage. If I can be half as happy in the little things someday, I'll have lived a good life! He genuinely enjoys what he does, be it TV work, prop work or a few storage drawers. So happy he came to youtube!
Growing up watching this man on mythbusters being quirky, funny and bring an other aspect to science and engineering is the reason i have a passion for building Thank you Adam ✌🏼
You have to love how Adam does most of his gluing and cutting on the table saw top, and uses the workbenches to set things on while they are awaiting the saw space.
Adam's new kung fu move, the sneeze punch and kick ... LMAO ... When i heard it, i thought ninjas would start showing up on the shop and Adam would look at them and kicked their asses off, with the foamcore in one hand and the fwacker on the other ...
@@DavidLindes Yeah, kinda shocked that Adam has not lost the "bless you" after being a long time atheist. I also like the Jillette version, "that's funny".
Love this idea! Been trying to come up with ideas to keep my box at work organised, cause I'm messy by nature... One of the reasons I love this channel! Ideas for keeping stuff arranged, and ideas for how to fix stuff I'd have never thought of in the past! One thing I would say, is turn the insert round put the small things to the front, like your saw blades and bits and bobs in 'air tools 1'. Makes it easier to get into with the slight overhang at the back edge of the drawers have from the drawer above... and means you're not leaning over the drawer looking for tiny bits, also means you don't have to open the whole drawer to grab a blade or bit...
I love the idea of 'sketching in three dimensions'. Sometimes it's nice just to get a project done and fit for purpose, rather than lose the enjoyed of the doing on trying to make in pefect. a great shop project.
Ok I want you to come and do this to my wife's leftover container storage area it needs this kind of help !! And this looks FABULOUS !! Great job wonderful idea and execution !! Love your videos !!
Hi there Sir! I think I have seen every video and look forward to them especially the one day builds. Your enthusiasm is contagious and the way you want to share every skill you have with us. Anyway keep up with Your good attitude and fun loving ways. Soon hopefully things will get to the point that we can get back to normal or close to what it was. Anyway thanks for all You do and Your crew!!!
Just finished semi-organizing my shop. I spent the hours that i could over the last 3 weeks doing so. The sense of calm i experienced upon finishing it was amazing. I tried explaining to my wife, but she just didnt understand why it made me so happy to have a specific place for all the tools. It was really nice to see someone you have always looked up to expressing the same elation that you experienced after a similar task.
I have been making pegboard doors for my storage racks. My storage racks have a diameter of three-quarter inch pipe and I’m using three-quarter inch conduit clamps to hold the 2 x 4 to them then another 2 x 4 leveled to mount hinges too. Buy the 12 pack bulk and putting 4 of them with 3” screws to a 2 x 4 frame with support running horizontally then a steel cable from the lower outer corner to the upper inner corner to prevent sagging. I have my weedeater, backpack blower, gardening tools little bolt bin drawers on the outside and the inside I have small stuff on hooks like Epoxy, various types of silence and stuff for working on cars. The doors been helpful keep my 2 year old out of the brake clean, oil recycling containers. He is my little helper but when your under a car he moves fast to the stuff that can hurt him. I have 3 of them we tools on them and supplies each is 7 foot tall and 4 foot wide. One of the best home builds to my ocd. The 56” double stacked tool boxes with locker and my 3 shelves section with pegboard doors and 3 4 draw file cabinet my garage is ready for work. Awesome tip about the hot glue and awesome build!
Excuse me sir! But have you turned into the great Mr Hyneman? Every tool has a name and a place..? I've loved all your one day builds during lock down and especially the machine fixes you've done. I've actually found them really helpful. Thanks Mr Savage.x
"Benefits of Righteous Living" it's a great saying. I make the same type of organizers out of foam board too. I was always embarrassed of it, because some people (wife) say it's my OCD out of control, but I really love doing it. I like having everything organized, it just makes working so much easier.
Adam, you're directly responsible for about 1/3 of my Amazon purchases. I'm pretty sure I could regulate my Amazon spend by adjusting the frequency with which I watch your videos. Alternatively, Amazon should set up a kickback programme for you specifically. This time around I ended up with 40 sheets of A0 5mm foam core, as now I obviously have to do this to my drawers as well. Most times it is more like, "hmmm, that tool looks useful. Better get one of those." Love the videos, brother. Keep spreading the good word, the corrected spelling of the biblical phrase is now "the makers shall inherit the earth".
45:42 - this is the key - you can't put everything in it's place, if you don't have a place for everything. You just built places for a bunch of things, and now they can be in their happy little homes. Good stuff! Yay, hot glue and foam core!
Adam, loved watching you on myth busters growing up. My dad and I always watched the show. “Am I missing an eyebrow?!” 😂 anyhow, wanted to say I enjoy this style of videos from you then when you’re being video taped. This is more personal and I enjoy it. When you talk to yourself and whatnot, it’s awesome to watch you figure things out. Keep up the videos sir!
Darn, I always realize that I am sooooooooo an engineer when I look at his neatly sorted tool boxes and my brain goes "purrrrrrr".... Keep up the good work Adam!
I remember with great fondness the warm fuzzy feeling I had when all my air tools were finally all fitted with the same quick release adapter and I no longer had to use adapters!
Hay Adam I am doing stuff like this all the time at the theatre and have plenty of time to do it now lol I have just sorted all the drills out at work and pelmet clips are a lifesaver lol loving your work thanks
I just laid my tools on top of a piece of plywood of the same size as the drawer's bottom, cut the tool's shape out, made spacers with some wood and glue, so that it would float the missing 6th plane, and then covered the tools i wanted in paper tape and set them inside the holes i've made such that each just floated perfectly using thin wire and more tape. Then i greased my drawer with a lot of petroleum jelly and poured foam inside. Once i was satisfied, i covered the top with a tape covered board and set weights on top. A two hours job, without foam setting times (left it 24h) and then half an hour to clean the mess and tape. Finished the tool shaped cavities with a spay g*n loaded with liquid filler, which then got spray painted with a clear gray. Each tool had a small wad of tape on its side, and the cover with holes, small finger sized holes over those places where i put the tape wads.
That sounds really cool for long-term tool storage. I like Adam's way for quick and dirty organizing but I'm definitely interested to try your method, sounds like it would look very legit
I've done a lot of this divider-wall organization in my garage and house, but I use 1/8th hardboard instead (pegboard, but w/o the holes.....). I notch the ends to connect them. No gluing or nailing necessary.
“Disgusting Jumble” is the name of my new band! Love the organizational builds. The OCD part of my brain finds them very satisfying. Keep them coming Adam.
did anyone else get the Semi-Final Destination vibes from that drawer at 2:05 as it slowly slid out., and then smile at 2:55 when he finally bumped his head. and then watch it try again.
I built one of these a while ago for a craftsman drawer workbench, to store wrenches upright, instead of laying them flat. I ended up having about 50% more space for more wrenches! I did not know about the levers on the drawer slides built into it! that would have saved me a bit of a headache installing mine! I ended up bending it out of shape, and hammering it back to install it! It worked out in the end :)
It's got to be fun to have a workshop which you use to make the workshop more efficient all the time. It'll probably run itself in the end, and Adam won't even be needed anymore!
That whole repetitive thing is so true I do leather work and was hand sewing with a awl. I let my mind wonder just for a sec and it snapped back about the same time I shoved the awl into my figure.
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I'm getting a new toolbox delivered on Monday and was curious how I'd handle some of my tool organization in the drawers
I definitely need to do this. I'm no slouch with foam core and hot glue, so I should be able to do my own drawer inserts. I wouldn't have thought of trying this method though, so thanks for going through it and explaining your thought processes.
on the topic of Music in the shop, I just got a pair of bluetooth Worktunes (made by 3m) and they are pretty awesome. the sound quality is that of a decent pair of headphones, and the hearing protection is always important.
Remember when we said overwhelmingly we wanted more one day builds.... Yea this is what we meant. Great vids every week. Nothing too crazy because we just wanna see you make stuff and hear the stories
Foamboard is such a great, inexpensive material for these kinds of projects. One thing I learned from the RC hobby that I have used in general making is if you later decide you want to make it a permanent object use cheap, thin fiberglass. Even the sloppiest globs of epoxy with a single layer of the thin stuff draped over it will turn that organic quick build into a lifelong object.
I never thought I would “need” a tool box... I now have a large roller with a wood top and top box for all my art supplies and then a another medium roller and top box for all my tools.... not including the hand built wood boxes for more stuff lol. After seeing all of Adams stuff I feel a little more at ease that I’m not the only one... now. Have some ideas on how to organize better, thanks!
I can relate to this sort of build from a different perspective. One of my jobs is to make custom foam inserts for cases and boxes. Usually, the most time consuming part is calculating the layout. Rather than making dividing walls, we use polyurethane foam in layers with cut-outs of tool shapes in each layer. It's vital to be able to visualise everything in 3D, because each layer may have different shaped cuts to fit one or more items, such as a large digital camera and telescopic lens. Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of a 3D scanner, Autocad or a CNC machine, so we have to do it all by hand. The end results are rewarding, though.
You build like I do which makes me feel better. I don’t take measurements and make plans just line it up and build as I go. I thought this was amateur but after seeing this video I see it’s just a different way to accomplish the same goal but faster and sometimes better
I'm early!! Also Adam, your love of weathering and vintage styled aesthetics speak to me on such a personal level. I've been wanting to Mod my laptop to look like a 50s retro futuristic style. I'd love your input on how to make it look.
The moment that I realized what this was was also the moment I knew I needed to do this myself... because I totally needed more projects to make my life better.
Smaagaggy..... A highly technical term that refers to anything fabricated off the cuff - Quote "Now we have a nice solid Smaagaggy going on" Got to love it.
I wonder if a cheap auto parts store spray can of bed liner on the foam core insides would improve the life of the boxes? You might have to do something or the exposed edges of foam for the spray to not affect it, but you should get a light weight storage that will hold up to general wear and be somewhat grease & water resistant.
PERFECT, I have a mild case of organization, and I just started acquiring some air tools! Hoping this video (2 min in) details the more interesting/useful air tools, hoses/adapters/accessories? If not, think you could take a look at them sometime? Obviously the pin nailer, but there have gotta be some other oddball uses for moving the atmosphere more quickly! Thanks!
I feel like in regards to the style of making in this video, Adam and Diresta are very similar. Not all about having everything measured out first, but about organically using the work piece as you build to help build the rest of it. It's a great style and a good reminder for me that you don't always need a cut list at the start of the project. Also 32:26 reminded me of 'if it looks straight, it is straight'. :-)
I was! I think the only reason it didn't was because of the sheer amount of dividers being all glued together giving it structure where the bottom didn't have any super weak structure points. Lol
For more videos on shop organization, see our playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLJtitKU0CAegGi2QUH6ywt4EkjcR0jVam.html
The drawers look awesome adam. Keep em coming buddy. We all eagerly await each new one-day!!!
I love watching Adam’s techniques for shop organization! Will we be lucky enough to see a video on the lathe chuck stand in the background too? :D
Why would you mock up the plywood and not the foam core? If you used 1/4" ply wouldn't the hot glue hold it just fine?
Also, do you use the "normal" hot glue, or some exotic type?
@@PaigeMaker He did a video on that project.
@@woodworkerroyer8497 He might be using high-temp hot glue.
When inserting a fresh glue stick, if you'll touch the front of the stick to the nozzle of the glue gun melting it slightly when you insert the stick it will glue itself to the back of the old stick giving you a smooth continuous feed.
Hey, that's a great tip! Thank you! I'll incorporate that into my order of operations from now on!
@@millenniumf1138 I hope you find it as useful as I have.

46:02 Talks into a mirror. Adam you are truly the best shop teacher I never had. 👏
The only thing I want from life: to have half the joy Adam gets from cutting and gluing foamcore ("Lookathaaaaaaaaat!")
The way Adam thinks about things ahead of time and does them on the fly (with precision) is so satisfying.
26:46 - That is why i love watching your videos, Adam. Your honesty is my very favorite thing about you. Keep being awesome!
I miss mythbusters with you and the original cast. I really miss Grant, he would be proud knowing you cary on building and doing what you love. Entertaining all of us, thank you so much Adam.

It's technically correct, the best kind of correct.

This was on my to do list for so long and Now I feel so satisfied after watching that I can delay my organizing another year
This is great! My next One Day Build will be organising my kitchen drawers! They have been going on my nerves for far too long now!
Organized drawers have long been a passion of mine. Brilliant. Thank you for this. 😊
watching Adam makes me feel like i'm back in school watching my old shop teacher going through a lesson, oh the nostalgia
Really like the clearly from a black and white detective noir film music that kicks in during the 2nd shelf build.

I did not know about the levers on the drawer slides built into it! that would have saved me a bit of a headache installing mine! I ended up bending it out of shape, and hammering it back to install it!
It worked out in the end :)
It's got to be fun to have a workshop which you use to make the workshop more efficient all the time. It'll probably run itself in the end, and Adam won't even be needed anymore!
The sad thing is watching Adam building a box is a day highlight! BOOOONESAAAAW IS REEEEADYYYY
12:00 love the knolling
@Adam Savage is the Bob Ross of Making!
That whole repetitive thing is so true I do leather work and was hand sewing with a awl. I let my mind wonder just for a sec and it snapped back about the same time I shoved the awl into my figure.
Love it! This is like Builder's ASMR! Thanks, Adam!
Love your energy Adam! I hope I grow up to be like you one day.
I've never thought about cutting foamcore with a table saw I'm a metal ruler and a sharp hobby/craft knife kind of person
6:14 The foam core will resist the air tool oil better than plywood too.
Bless you, Adam! 🙏
definitely going to be using foam core for dividers now! I'd never even thought of it, such a cheap way to organise!
No better feeling when your winging it and it comes out perfect.
The background music durning the 20:00 time is perfect. Ha it reminds me of an 80s drama.
I don't know why, but I just love seeing Adam build stuff
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I'm getting a new toolbox delivered on Monday and was curious how I'd handle some of my tool organization in the drawers
I definitely need to do this. I'm no slouch with foam core and hot glue, so I should be able to do my own drawer inserts. I wouldn't have thought of trying this method though, so thanks for going through it and explaining your thought processes.
Can’t believe I only recently found this channel but love it. Now I’m a Happy little subscriber😂😂😂
18:13 - 21:50 It was like watching a ODB with hollow knight paused at the background. Nice melody choice by the editor.
i thought it sounded a bit like hollow knight
Abandoned chateaux (Jive Ass sleeper) very nice music
@@moriartyyaqubi3886 nice! i just searched it and found it. Thanks a lot kind person!
Holy speed build Batman!
Yes Robin. Foamcore is our friend.
Perfect use of maker background music in the latter half of the video.
on the topic of Music in the shop, I just got a pair of bluetooth Worktunes (made by 3m) and they are pretty awesome. the sound quality is that of a decent pair of headphones, and the hearing protection is always important.
This one Sparks joy 😇
Remember when we said overwhelmingly we wanted more one day builds.... Yea this is what we meant. Great vids every week. Nothing too crazy because we just wanna see you make stuff and hear the stories
One day builds make my sole happy.
Foamboard is such a great, inexpensive material for these kinds of projects. One thing I learned from the RC hobby that I have used in general making is if you later decide you want to make it a permanent object use cheap, thin fiberglass. Even the sloppiest globs of epoxy with a single layer of the thin stuff draped over it will turn that organic quick build into a lifelong object.
I never thought I would “need” a tool box... I now have a large roller with a wood top and top box for all my art supplies and then a another medium roller and top box for all my tools.... not including the hand built wood boxes for more stuff lol. After seeing all of Adams stuff I feel a little more at ease that I’m not the only one... now. Have some ideas on how to organize better, thanks!
5:11 Umm, no you're completely wrong! Making a drawer insert that is too small is the worst!
Just puts shims in.
I thought the same thing. You can always trim down an insert too big, but one that’s too small requires a bit more work to correct.
@xephael, "I keep cutting and cutting, and it's still too short!"
@@GrayRaceCat 🤣😂😁
I can relate to this sort of build from a different perspective. One of my jobs is to make custom foam inserts for cases and boxes. Usually, the most time consuming part is calculating the layout. Rather than making dividing walls, we use polyurethane foam in layers with cut-outs of tool shapes in each layer. It's vital to be able to visualise everything in 3D, because each layer may have different shaped cuts to fit one or more items, such as a large digital camera and telescopic lens.
Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of a 3D scanner, Autocad or a CNC machine, so we have to do it all by hand. The end results are rewarding, though.
I like how a lot of the things you use your shop for is to improve your shop
It’s mainly what mine is for too. It’s odd, a bit of a hobby in itself that sometimes outshines the other projects around my home and for friends.
Looks really professional Adam!
You build like I do which makes me feel better. I don’t take measurements and make plans just line it up and build as I go. I thought this was amateur but after seeing this video I see it’s just a different way to accomplish the same goal but faster and sometimes better
“Theatre lives and dies on hot glue.”
Truer words have never been spoken.
Used a lot of air tools when working at CAT. The river air gun was always the best to use. We also had a few that required for lifts to use
I'm early!!
Also Adam, your love of weathering and vintage styled aesthetics speak to me on such a personal level. I've been wanting to Mod my laptop to look like a 50s retro futuristic style. I'd love your input on how to make it look.
The moment that I realized what this was was also the moment I knew I needed to do this myself... because I totally needed more projects to make my life better.
Smaagaggy..... A highly technical term that refers to anything fabricated off the cuff - Quote "Now we have a nice solid Smaagaggy going on" Got to love it.
I wonder if a cheap auto parts store spray can of bed liner on the foam core insides would improve the life of the boxes? You might have to do something or the exposed edges of foam for the spray to not affect it, but you should get a light weight storage that will hold up to general wear and be somewhat grease & water resistant.
PERFECT, I have a mild case of organization, and I just started acquiring some air tools! Hoping this video (2 min in) details the more interesting/useful air tools, hoses/adapters/accessories? If not, think you could take a look at them sometime? Obviously the pin nailer, but there have gotta be some other oddball uses for moving the atmosphere more quickly! Thanks!
I feel like in regards to the style of making in this video, Adam and Diresta are very similar. Not all about having everything measured out first, but about organically using the work piece as you build to help build the rest of it. It's a great style and a good reminder for me that you don't always need a cut list at the start of the project. Also 32:26 reminded me of 'if it looks straight, it is straight'. :-)
I've been following in your footsteps in my room and... yeah people think im crazy now but its worth
Who was waiting for everything to drop out the bottom when he picked up the liner with all the tools in it?
I was! I think the only reason it didn't was because of the sheer amount of dividers being all glued together giving it structure where the bottom didn't have any super weak structure points. Lol
