    No one ever seems to just refurb a bench, so this was a cool video for that. It can be done!!

    • @craftedworkshop
      @craftedworkshop  10 місяців тому +5

      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!

      Perfect! This bench is really great, there isn’t much I’d change about it personally.

    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.

  • @fcschoenthal
    @fcschoenthal 10 місяців тому +1

    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

    Great video. Looks great. I actually used your plans a couple years ago built one. I was just a little concerned about the weight of the whole thing so I actually welded up a tray out of angle iron for the table to sit in. I welded some "tabs" at each corner to mount the casters and feet. Still love it.

  • @AbdullahAdel1337
    @AbdullahAdel1337 10 місяців тому +1

    Nice work! it looks awesome 👌
    You can add a vertical divider in the back area to share the load on the new bottom 4:37 with the table top when fork lifting the table. it does not have to be permanent

    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 🤓😁

  • @MrWaldorfian
    @MrWaldorfian 10 місяців тому +3

    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
      @craftedworkshop  10 місяців тому +1

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

    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.

    If those were available commercially, they would be very popular. Someone could make themselves a successful business just making quality custom shop cabinets.

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

  • @KITDFOHS
    @KITDFOHS 10 місяців тому +5

    Gridfinity is awesome....just takes for freaking ever to print all the pieces. I've been modifying a lot of files to have them print faster. Lots of "lights out" manufacturing happening.

    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.

    • @silverbackag9790

  • @dracodraco1982
    @dracodraco1982 10 місяців 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

  • @TehKillerB

    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?

    • @davehoffman515
      @davehoffman515 10 місяців 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  10 місяців 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.

    I hate you. I don’t want to build shelves and print all that gridfinity stuff (I’ve got a Prusa mk4, so I’m well aware of it). It just seems like so much work and I’d rather just buy something (but $$$$ as I’ve found out). Watching this now I *do* want to build and print it myself. I hate you, I didn’t need another project 😂
