      Yea, I figured it would have cost me at least $500 to build a new one and this would have ended up in a landfill. Win win!

    Johnny, I thoroughly enjoyed your refurbishment of your existing workbench!
    I do not particularly care for your "custom (seafoam green) color," but to each his own as the saying goes.
    I really think that the drawer front turned out amazingly cool and quite genius!
    Well done, Johnny!

    I’m glad you did a refurb, and I had colour doubts, but it turned out really good. The colour is cheerful, and goes very well with the wood/grey epoxy pattern. I also got lots of ideas for my workshop build/organisation. I’ve been procrastinating on the drawers, but I can see how they’ll work now. Good timing, Thanks for the video 🤓😁

    Looks great! I want to get rid of the many storage boxes that I have and have started looking into the gridfinity system. Seems like a very good solution. I hated having to dig into the little compartments, so I printed some bins to fit inside each space so I could take them out like you mentioned. Being able to print bigger ones to hold the full boxes will be even sweeter. - Chris

    Gridfinity is great! On the off chance that you have Ikea Alex drawers, they're a near-perfect fit in those too. I printed a couple of spacers to get the base plates centered, there are a couple of screws on the inside of the drawers, but any boxes clear those screws if the grid is centered.

    What discoloration is that on the bottom drawers? Is it just the light playing tricks on the camera?

  • @KITDFOHS

    Probably wont get to see this, but id just like to let you know that ive been subscribed for years and still have no interest in finished carpentry because i have no patience for it, but i just love learning stuff. You want me to build you a deck? Sure, no problem. Carpentry like this? Id rather burn down my house 😂. What im getting at is that you have great videos and i always love learning with each one. Always enjoy your content.

  • @MrWaldorfian

    I've caught the Gridfinity system bug also. Its taking me a lifetime to print my bins and bases as I have a single old Ender-3 3D printer not two fancy Bambu Labs ones.

    • @craftedworkshop

      I bet that does take forever! I guess you can just take it one drawer at a time though.

  • @GetHandsDirty
    @GetHandsDirty Місяць тому

    Hey Johnny! Great project restoration! Yeah, in the color build, you never add the lighter color to the darker. Always add little by little the darker to the lighter because the darker ones are always a LOT more powerful. Sorry you had to learn it the hard way. Next time, if you make the same mistake, at least change bucket but don't add the whole mix into it. Pour a new bag of yellow into the empty bucket and then add the mix little by little. Otherwise it seems endless and you will waste tons of paint. Now I'm curious to know what green were you looking forward to. Was it more of a lettuce green? Kind of festool/featherboard pro green? I like the pulls! Excited to see a new woodworking video from you 😊

    I wanted to ask, your new shop, which is amazing by the way, had someone else build of building it and was using it as a shop when you bought it? I swear that it looks exactly like a shop another guy built on his channel. The old west style front facade, and the way there is a build up of soil to the garage bay door. There is a side door on the left side of the building to?? Just curious.

    I really love the design on that panel. I am curious though why you would use epoxy there instead of just some paint. Isn't the epoxy just a much more expensive and less environmentally friendly option?

  • @silverbackag9790
    @silverbackag9790 Місяць тому

    • @davehoffman515
      @davehoffman515 Місяць тому +1

      It came after. Zack Freedman talks about it in his video announcing gridfinity.
      I also paid for Alexander's system but it hasn't been expanded upon like Gridfinity and now I'm printing Multiboard/Multigrid as there is compatibility with my Gridfinity stuff.

    • @craftedworkshop
      @craftedworkshop  Місяць тому +1

      Zack admits to kind of ripping off Alexandre’s system but Gridfinity has become its own thing at this point. The best thing is I didn’t have to model a single thing, all of the files were found on Printables.

  • @dracodraco1982
    @dracodraco1982 Місяць тому

    For the drawers, rather than CA glue or the stickers, couldn't you have put down a few lengths of non-slip tape? One quick peel to stick to drawer, and go from there.
    Though I'm not sure the 3M nonslip tape is as tacky as the stickers doodads, I figure a little less drag over a greater surface area would solve that.
    Just a thought, anyway. Haven't built much of anything yet, certainly ain't organized, so it's a genuine question as to whether there'd be any advantage. :P Only came to mind because I just used the tape for a couple sets of painter's pyramids I printed last week. A month ago, before I used the stuff, I might have floated using velcro; I tend to prioritize what I have on hand over what's ideal these days. Can lead to derpy mistakes, sometimes, but learning is a process. If you want to excel, you've first got to make peace that you're going to fail, basically. :P

    "Which I use on most of my furniture products because of its durability".... lol more like because Total Boat is a big player in the UA-cam marketing platform and pays you to use thier stuff. Why does nobody ever admit they are sponsored?....... I know, I know, you were never sponsored by Total Boat and its a total coincidence that you use the same exact products as literally every other wood working channel
