    Dear April,
    I really love what you do. It's so inspiring. I live on a small farm in Germany and bought a Woodmizer a few months ago. After watching all of your videos i started with woodworking and I really love building sawhorses. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. Keep on doing what you do.
    Greetings from Germany,

    I come from a construction family in many phases. It is truly inspiring to see young people, like yourself teaching us old dogs new tricks. Keep it up! I do have an interest in that horizontal peg board jar organizational thing. Please advise on that.

    This in fantastic April. I especially like the idea of the electrical boxes for storage. While watching this I was already planning a jig to hold the electrical boxes to a piece on the backside of my table saw to collect small pieces for segmented bowls. I love all of your quick tip videos as well as your whole channel in general.

    Forget tips 1-17. The biggest tip here is use plywood for walls so you can screw things everywhere with no issues. I think this video just sold me on that.

    • @jackmaher4466
      @jackmaher4466 3 роки тому +1

      I used Red Oak plywood for the wall of my watch repair shop. I am selective where I drill holes though as it is a nice finish. But that was the original reason I chose plywood. It does work great. Also my shop can be taken down easily as it is all screwed together. If needed.

    • @paulp.l.4869

    Speed square under bench hanger too. Awesome... the hidden bonus workshop storage solution. Those Smartjars seem good. Even better might be a square version to utilize more volume in the same surface area while still leaving enough room for gripping to grab and pull out.

  • @oodoodoopoopoo

    I always store my glue bottles upside down to prevent the dried film on the inside of the nozzle. It also leaves the glue ready to flow immediately upon use. I set them inside of plastic cups so they will stand up and I can set them on any surface where I'm working.

    As soon as I saw your thumbnail, I had my comment in my head. Tip #12, with the shoe pouches, is one I've been using for quite some time. I have a very small workshop (which I share with the furnace and water heater!), and I have a cloth version of the shoe hanger. It is mounted on the back side of my door, and I keep most of my spray paint and poly cans in it. They are out of sight, out of the way, but super handy when I need them.
    A tip I have is to take 2' - 3' sections of heavy duty cardboard roller (as is used in carpet rolls), or you can use Schedule 40, and mount them on a wood base. It's best to cut a plywood round that fits in the end of the tube, and then attach the round to the base. Do this with 3 or 4 sections on the base, and you can keep dowels, scrap trim moulding, threaded rods, and other smaller width dimensional items in them. You could even put a lazy susan plate on the bottom, if desired.
    Thanks for the other tips, April! You gave some I haven't tried before, (I love Tip #1 and Tip #3 the best), and I'm eager to add them to my shop!

    I don't want storage above the surface of the workbench. It will get in the way. I put the magnet on top of my drill press. Nice idea for a tape rack... you could also use it for a paper towel roll. Thanks for the tips. Back in the day... grandpa would attach a mason jar lid to the bottom of a shelf. He'd put nails, screws, bolts, nuts, etc... in the jar and just store it quickly by screwing into the mounted lid.

    Could you consider adding millimeters to your fraction/decimal charts? They are awesome charts but if it had all 3 I would definitely buy at least 2. Your charts are the easiest to see that I've found and there's pretty much no charts available with all 3 that are easy to glance at in a hurry like yours are.

    I buy the 16 oz glue bottles because I like the size to work with and I don't end up wasting it like I do gallon jugs. I keep the bottle upside down in a jar with a bit of water in the bottom, keeps the tip clean and the glue ready to come out with no shaking.

    2:50 best solution for most of my items.
    1. It's universal. You don't want a storage where only one particular tool fits in like those holes, where only one size of a drill fits.
    2. You can see it all. No need to open any boxes to look for stuff.
    3. Doesn't use much space. It's hanging on a wall, but vertically. Horizontal cupboards usually waste a lot of space.
    4. If you need to change your workspace you can easily take it down and hang it up elsewhere.
