The end was the best part for all of us who struggle with organization in the shop. And a great lesson. Build it, try it out, and improve. It never seems to really work out the way in real life the way it was designed in your head. Yet, you can never really see the physical issues until you actually build it. Adam, and other creators, in the last few years have showed me to build the idea. See what's wrong, and be willing to know it was just the first version of it and know going in, it's okay to make improvements.
I love Adam going off about how we don't need to know how busy his day is. I can tell that was a joke for him 😂 your joy in making is truly an inspiration
You don't have to defend anything to anyone. If you have the money and you want it, then go get it. We all have things like that just because we wanted them.
@@cody_powell I mean if said billionaire earned their billions, yes, they are? Why shouldn't they be allowed to spend it however they want? So long as they're not hurting anyone, I don't see the issue.
Congratulations to the NSK Evo - Bloody expensive, but incredible well working and versatile tools. I have to say, I prefer to keep the powersupply kinda mobile, so I can pull it over when I need to deburr something that is still clamped/held in a machine.
My "expensive purchase" was a Dremel about 24 years ago (when poor). The little bugger still works perfectly, I have a real nice collection of bits and bobs, collets and adaptors. The grip on the chuck is worn away so I need pliers to exchange bits these days. Also, the rubber coating has flaked away in places. I'm still amazed it works every time I need it. $0.02
Yea, my skill and usage of it is a a long ways away from dropping almost $1800 on a rotary tool. I'm sure it's fantastic and it certainly has it's place but man can I buy so many other necessary and useful tools for that
I know next to nothing about woodworking (okay, nothing), but I find these one-day build videos absolutely enjoyable to watch, almost a peaceful kind of feeling. Weird. I've also watched other woodworking UA-cam channels, but most of those hosts/UA-camrs have a quiet (some not so quiet) arrogance about them. Adam is your everyman builder, and I love it.
Kinda like the festool domino for us woodworkers. Sure you can do the same things for cheaper but it comes down to investing in your craft. You have no complaints from me adam. Congrats on the new tool buddy!
i think this is a perfect video demonstrating the power of prototyping or MVPs and getting feedback quickly without overthinking / overengineering your design upfront
Adams channel is the one i go to when life gets me down, 10 minutes of his chatting, random digressing into subjects & making stuff look so easy & i am calm & restored , thanks buddy & a big hello from great britain.
I love watching your vids. Especially the "how to better organize all your...."stuff"" vids. I have tried to do what I can in the garage and my hobby area. But one thing I really have a hard time with is trying to keep stuff from being put on any flat surface. Your table saw for example. At my previous job, my co-worker intentionally made covers for his tool boxs, and the like, with pitched tops so you couldn't just throw stuff on them. It helped with organizing cause you HAD to put the tool away not just put it anywhere flat.
I've always thought the cover for the table saw should be able to be hoisted up toward the ceiling, that way you could still pile junk on it, but just hoist it up to use the saw 🙂
Every time I watch a shop video, I'm filled with envy for Adam's shop. Even though I'm nowhere near the skill level to use everything in there, I wish I had access to something like that so that I never run into a "damn it I wish I had that tool" moment.
Adam, at this point in your life the body of knowledge and mastery of the tools you have acquired makes your "Time" the most valuable asset you have. While broadly speaking that is true for everyone, the tool(s) you should be now looking to use are those that take the least amount of time to set up or provide a broadest range of usage. Please enjoy that spectacular tool! We all can't wait to see how you use it.
Idea for a first order retrieval video topic: what do you do if the place you would think to look for a new thing is already full? This isn't a problem that's solved necessarily by a larger shop, if for instance you'd think to look for it on a shelf unit that's full. Do you use a shelf near by? Does that mean you should get a bigger shelf unit if you have space? Other things to think about?
Good question. I’ve only done this with Lego pieces but I’ll mark on the main bin for certain piece types that there is an “overflow bin”. And I know where those are kept
My idea is, take the least used items and move them too the "where am I going to look next" spot or "bulk" storage for that type of tool or task, like i have tackle boxes for leatherwork, gunsmithing, etc. helps keep things organized and I pull them out when I do that specific task and need the task specific tools. That way you keep the new thing in reach but also migrate things that are seeing less use
Adam, I hope that you pass it on down the line to other makers that are not as fortunate as you that you may be helping along in there career as I try and do with tools when I upgrade. Granted it’s not often but there are people that are greatfull to get good used tools. As I was when it happened for me!
As a child of the 70s & 80s you will appreciator this reference - The minute I saw the glue gun not fit I was reminded of that Meatloaf song "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad". For chord retrieval you could maybe do an elastic that gently pulls the cable into place or one of those janitor key ring holders that retracts
It's definitely your privilege after having a substantial career and now running a UA-cam channel with over 6 million subs to be able to buy a single workshop tool for over $14K USD. Success is a beautiful phenomenon. Well deserved Adam.
Next time you are at the dentist, ask them about used dental burs. When they do dental work, they want them as sharp as possible, so they replace them while there is still plenty of wear left. They are usually carbide.
I love videos like this. I am constantly doing builds to improve the workflow of my work area. And I totally get this is not the finished version. You build something. Live with it for a while. Then implement better solutions that become obvious after some use. That is why I never use good stock. I build out of scraps I have laying around. Once I zero in on what I believe to be best, I may redo with better materials. Also, when you first stuck the glue gun under there, I thought it would be better on the side of the bench. It's too unwieldy for a small cubby. Especially when it has a fresh glue stick. Better to have some place it can hang that is easily accessible. Bonus, is that you can put it away hot and not worry about burning anything. Maybe even add a small tray below it to catch any glue drips off of it.
I noticed the wobble in your table saw when you were using it. 7:56 As a powermatic 66 owner I had the same problem and for years until made a permanent home for mine I had a quick support leg that plunged into the tube on the extension and supported that end. it was easy on and off and made it way more stable and safer.
17:52 I meant to do that! Yep been there before. I love you to watch you work even the results aren't quite right. Immediate tools right at hand, never though of that. Keep broadcasting!!
I am a German guild craftsman. we often still work very traditionally, but when the modern tools are awesome. and I admit I'm addicted to Hilti powertools. and everything that is suitable for processing zinc, copper and aluminum sheet. If you want to keep your hard-earned wages, don't start with sheet metal work. we have a lot of tools and everything is expensive. happy tool addiction day
Thanks!!! I just orderd a 7-35 X 50 zoom binoculars today !Because i just recieved like 500$ back for saved Electricity 😁 I JUST WANT AND NEED THIS ONE! Spring and birds are coming and Im ready!!
I was going to say to cut out a cradle or hole in the back for the glue gun put it looks like that one is covered in other comments. Thanks for sharing all the great material.
I've worked my way into the Jewellery trade and from going from using my own dremel, then using a fordom, its such a pleasure to use one of these nakanishi's. Im just glad the boss paid for it 🤣
I love that even after so much success and popularity, Adam still has such humility in the purchase of things. Relative to his net income, no doubt $14k is not a lot, but to him it still feels like an indulgence due to how much more it costs than other tools that are good enough or even better than good enough already.
You could probably use a retractable cord form an old vacuum cleaner as a power cord for the blower. I think one with a button to retract would be nice.
I looked up those motors after watching the SGW. Nice buy. Medical thats in a price bracket I can't look at. Adam, you deserve it. My tool recomendation to go with it would be a quality stereo 7-45x microscope .Olympus/Nikon/Wild.
Could you put links to the other channel Adam refers to. Sometimes its hard to understand the exact name he's saying and we'd like to check out the channel he's referring to. That'd be awesome!
I have one of those little heat guns like you have there. I love it, it was cheap but has worked great for a couple of years now. I use it for my FDM 3D printing. After a print is finished I give it a few passes with the heat gun and all those tiny little hairs disappear and make clean up much easier, and sometimes not needed
Seeing a tool on the channel and then feeling compelled to go buy one myself... There's Adam, Izzy Swan, & Bill Doran. As free content goes, these three are all really expensive.
I remember when you showed that new workbench and it was superclean and nice :D .. could you do a short video on your thoughts on how it has aged in your shop, if and how you take care of it and what kind of battle damage it has gotten with all the work you've done on it and also what your thoughts are on how careful/not-careful you are with that kind of workbench /tia
I still have my original Dremel from 1998, and it still works fine-yes it's bloody noisy, but hey it cost me GBP£ 89 back then- which was pretty damned expensive but the fact that I still use it at least once or twice a week just says everything ! I also have the hot air blower that Adam showed, £gbp 7.95 off amazon and again -brilliant ! I use it for soldering smd's, heat shrink-and tonight on some epoxy glue to speed up a repair job for my wife!
I think maybe Dremel was good back then? Today their trash, especially their anemic cordless tools. I got a proxxon, a significant upgrade that most people have never heard of. Hopefully it lasts as long and gets as much use as your Dremel.
Holster or cut the top of the left divider on the dryer, with a smaller shelf on the left for storage for glue sticks. Raises the glue gun that little bit to clear the dryer… and makes use of the space.
This is EXACTLY what keeps me from finishing projects. Instead of just doing stuff, and iterating, I always feel like I have to consider and plan out every possible parameter first. When I don’t, it’s not some 20 minute box that’s wasted. It’s months of work.
One thing you have to realize is the first time you do something does not have to be the last time. It is common for masters to make practice pieces before attempting a finished work. No matter how good you are there can always be unanticipated challenges in any non-trivial task that you've never done before.
I've been using the mantra "just get it done." You can't predict what the process is going to need until you get there, so you might as well hurry up and get there.
@@carriefernandez8705 I don't know about hurrying up but getting on with things is beneficial. If your goal is to finish in a timely fashion being mindful can help.
Those dental machines have a port for a foot peddle. Depending on what foot pedal and machine some have variable controls for speed and others have a simple on-off
In the price range, of $1600, a Medicool Filestream Podiatrist Drill runs at 30K RPM, forward/reverse, foot control, and a vacuum with HEPA filter. I have often thought that the ability to control the dust coming from a Dremel tool would be a significant addition. If you're going to invest that kind of money a vacuum would be nice.
I personally don't think you need to defend the machines you acquire. You have resources that many of us don't, but you earned that over your extensive career. We know you can achieve amazing results with basic tools. I'm all good with seeing what you make using the top-of-the-line equipment too. "I don't know why you need to know my schedule" Actually, it really helps us to know how long in real time it takes you or any other maker to create something. It's easy to look at what we're doing at home and think we're on a wrong path or doing something wrong because if feels like it takes all day for a step. We don't get to have Norm or someone else edit our real time workday. ;-) What kind of heat gun is that? You called it a hair dryer, but is that what it's actually sold as? It looks really practical for all the kinds of things we do with that kind of device. If it had shaped nozzles for the air, it would be amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing what your next versions of this look like. Your shop infrastructure vids are among my absolute favorites.
My skill and usage of the dremel is a long ways away from dropping almost $1800 on a rotary tool. BUT I now know that if I get to that point there is an option out there to really up the game. For most tools I buy the "middle of the road" item. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but the mid range one that way it can be a long time till my skills out grow it, it also holds it's value better if I want to sell, and they are less likely to break and need to be replaced with little usage
We use a different Nakanishi thing where I work (ours are air powered and have a foot pedal) but looks like the head is the same type. We have 90* angle grinder heads on ours and if the collet is the same you definitely want to be real careful with not over tightening it. Can start to a a real PITA and the collets are real expensive
I am building one of these today to go above my miter saw. Your table saw seemed kind of wobbly, maybe that could be another one day build to support it better.
Adam. You should make an automatic cable retractor for these cables in the next sorter. I think I have a decent idea. You just make a 3 to 5 pulley system with the middle pulley on a spring and ratchet system. As you pull the Dremel out, the pulleys allow it the cable to come out as needed and the middle pulley allows the cable to come out as needed, and the ratchet system keeps it so that way you don't always have tension on the line. Then all you do is put it away and release the ratchet system to put away the cable
Not that I can afford one of those Nakanishi's but, I wish I could because I find both the size and the vibration of the Dremel (and equivalents) to be hard on my smaller hands. The size of that looks much better and its so quiet! I love that too. Maybe one day...... :)
I know Adam’s pain in organizing tools like this. I would like to recommend for your glue gun, an easy way to mount something like that with a grip handle. Use a short length of schedule 40 pvc pipe. Cut a slot in one side the a slightly larger width of the glue gun’s handle, almost the length of your pvc pipe, you need to spec that length out…. The if you plan to mount the tube on the side of another container drill 2 small holes for the screws and two slightly larger holes for a screwdriver on the other side of the pipe so you can drive the screws home. If you need to mount the tube under a table or shelf then you just need to drill the holes on the top and access the screws through the slot you cut for the gluegun handle. This pipe idea works well for your power screw guns as well
Suggestion: Just get a micro drill / 3 jaw chuck for your rotary tool. Dremel-like tools are not precision instruments so you really don’t need to switch collets. I measured the thread, ordered, and never looked back! I can’t tell you how many times I have since been frustrated changing collets because it is zero and I just twist and get it done.
I had the misfortune of working with one of those dental micromotors at jewellery school when I was 19, very similar to this one. Even a top tier dremel will never feel adequate after that, the precision and feel are on a totally different scale.
I have a similar Roto tool made by ram company. I’ve had mine for about 20 years and paid almost $700 for it but as a competitive Bird Carver, we all have similar tools.
Have you seen the new RAM that takes 1/4" shank burrs. That is on my wishlist with some Kutzall burrs, but will have to wait until I get a clock makers lathe.
Move the drill to the cubby on the left and you can push the wire hanging down into that extra space. Then you have the one on the right freed up for something else. Also, you could put the whole thing on a slider so that the entire thing can slide out if you need.
Hey Adam I love you videos. I wanted to suggest that for your glue gun what if you made a holster that attached to the right side of the little cubby you made. Thank you for all you do and I hope you make many more videos.
The cord for the UberDremel thingy wants to live tucked to the side between the leg and the drawers - easy enough to put some kind of keeper on the side of the drawer unit. I'd probably angle the dividers down after they emerge from the top.
A corner bracket for the cord to keep it out of the way of the Oils door; cut a notch out of the new sorter's left side so the glue gun can lay flat with the handle going through the notch?
When do we get to hear about that shiny new machine thats been quietly sitting behind the bench?? Its been in the background of a few videos but this is the first time we've had a real good view of it.
Have you made a place for the mallet yet. You said you wanted one might have fit with this in some way. The one I mean is the one you use to hit the grab bar on the bench that acts like a helping hand and hold whatever you're working on firmly on the bench.

@@HickLif3 the least used item is possibly the worst one to move if you don't use it enough to consistently know where spot 2 is
You literally are limited by the length of your arms for first order retrieval, so no, or course a larger shop wouldn't help.

I think maybe Dremel was good back then? Today their trash, especially their anemic cordless tools. I got a proxxon, a significant upgrade that most people have never heard of. Hopefully it lasts as long and gets as much use as your Dremel.
Less vibration from the new tool should also be good for the long term health of your hands too.
And wrists. Too much vibration screws up my wrists very quick !
I would give my left arm to go play in Adam's shop... He gets all the cool toys!
Holster or cut the top of the left divider on the dryer, with a smaller shelf on the left for storage for glue sticks.
Raises the glue gun that little bit to clear the dryer… and makes use of the space.
Shop infrastructure is so sick!
Thanks for the quicky ODB, Adam. Sometimes a quicky is all you need to just get through the day. ;)
Please do a tool tip on different Dremel bits / tips! Showing which one is good for what and what's not worth buying etc.
Oh man, Stephan got us both. I had to have the Nakanishi as well. :)) Mine arrives in June, so i'm getting a sneak peek.
Which Stephan? I can't understand the last name he sais and can't come up with anything from trying to search it
@@__Mr. I think its me ;)
This is EXACTLY what keeps me from finishing projects. Instead of just doing stuff, and iterating, I always feel like I have to consider and plan out every possible parameter first.
When I don’t, it’s not some 20 minute box that’s wasted. It’s months of work.
One thing you have to realize is the first time you do something does not have to be the last time. It is common for masters to make practice pieces before attempting a finished work. No matter how good you are there can always be unanticipated challenges in any non-trivial task that you've never done before.
I've been using the mantra "just get it done." You can't predict what the process is going to need until you get there, so you might as well hurry up and get there.
@@carriefernandez8705 I don't know about hurrying up but getting on with things is beneficial. If your goal is to finish in a timely fashion being mindful can help.
Those dental machines have a port for a foot peddle. Depending on what foot pedal and machine some have variable controls for speed and others have a simple on-off
Dang, I want to see that rotary tool in action!
horizontal slot for glue-gun. 2 small squares underneath for hair-dryer. And other for extras.
In the price range, of $1600, a Medicool Filestream Podiatrist Drill runs at 30K RPM, forward/reverse, foot control, and a vacuum with HEPA filter.
I have often thought that the ability to control the dust coming from a Dremel tool would be a significant addition. If you're going to invest that kind of money a vacuum would be nice.
at 1:00 Adam mentions another UA-cam channel. Was it Stephan Dodson Winter? I couldn't quite catch it.

Ha, I use that same 300W hot air gun. It's wonderful for heatshrink.
Hey Adam, Why don't you get/mention the foredom flex shaft tools?
I personally don't think you need to defend the machines you acquire. You have resources that many of us don't, but you earned that over your extensive career.
We know you can achieve amazing results with basic tools. I'm all good with seeing what you make using the top-of-the-line equipment too.
"I don't know why you need to know my schedule" Actually, it really helps us to know how long in real time it takes you or any other maker to create something. It's easy to look at what we're doing at home and think we're on a wrong path or doing something wrong because if feels like it takes all day for a step. We don't get to have Norm or someone else edit our real time workday. ;-)
What kind of heat gun is that? You called it a hair dryer, but is that what it's actually sold as? It looks really practical for all the kinds of things we do with that kind of device. If it had shaped nozzles for the air, it would be amazing.
I'm looking forward to seeing what your next versions of this look like. Your shop infrastructure vids are among my absolute favorites.
My skill and usage of the dremel is a long ways away from dropping almost $1800 on a rotary tool. BUT I now know that if I get to that point there is an option out there to really up the game. For most tools I buy the "middle of the road" item. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but the mid range one that way it can be a long time till my skills out grow it, it also holds it's value better if I want to sell, and they are less likely to break and need to be replaced with little usage
Good for setting jewels and Jems
A slide out drawer would be great there and have a spot under the vise,
We use a different Nakanishi thing where I work (ours are air powered and have a foot pedal) but looks like the head is the same type. We have 90* angle grinder heads on ours and if the collet is the same you definitely want to be real careful with not over tightening it. Can start to a a real PITA and the collets are real expensive
Who was the shop tour you mentioned? You might consider a slot on the left hand end for the glue stick to slip under the vise.

I love how Adam has only had this bench for 2 years and it looks like a 30 year old loved bench. XD
Love Stefan! 👍🏽
Next iteration you should cut a hole in the back stop for your cords?
At some point every tool in Adam’s shop will have its own individual shelf.
That's the dream
His shelves have shelves
Norm, nice edit at 7:51 or so!
I am building one of these today to go above my miter saw.
Your table saw seemed kind of wobbly, maybe that could be another one day build to support it better.
Nothing wrong with a quickie 😅👍
Adam. You should make an automatic cable retractor for these cables in the next sorter. I think I have a decent idea. You just make a 3 to 5 pulley system with the middle pulley on a spring and ratchet system. As you pull the Dremel out, the pulleys allow it the cable to come out as needed and the middle pulley allows the cable to come out as needed, and the ratchet system keeps it so that way you don't always have tension on the line. Then all you do is put it away and release the ratchet system to put away the cable
Not that I can afford one of those Nakanishi's but, I wish I could because I find both the size and the vibration of the Dremel (and equivalents) to be hard on my smaller hands. The size of that looks much better and its so quiet! I love that too. Maybe one day...... :)
You could also look locally if there’s any on the used market, you could also look for used alternatives like the Kavo K9.
I know Adam’s pain in organizing tools like this. I would like to recommend for your glue gun, an easy way to mount something like that with a grip handle. Use a short length of schedule 40 pvc pipe. Cut a slot in one side the a slightly larger width of the
glue gun’s handle, almost
the length of your pvc pipe, you need to spec that length out…. The if you plan to mount the tube on the side of another container drill 2 small holes
for the screws and two slightly larger holes for a screwdriver on the other side of the pipe so you can drive the screws home. If you need to mount the tube under a table or shelf then you just need to drill the holes on the top and access the screws through the slot you cut for the gluegun handle. This pipe idea works well for your power screw guns as well
You are awesome sir
Very Nice !
Adam... we need to know your schedule because we are you Awesome Stalker Fans... and we love you! ;P
Suggestion: Just get a micro drill / 3 jaw chuck for your rotary tool. Dremel-like tools are not precision instruments so you really don’t need to switch collets. I measured the thread, ordered, and never looked back! I can’t tell you how many times I have since been frustrated changing collets because it is zero and I just twist and get it done.
I had the misfortune of working with one of those dental micromotors at jewellery school when I was 19, very similar to this one. Even a top tier dremel will never feel adequate after that, the precision and feel are on a totally different scale.
I have a similar Roto tool made by ram company. I’ve had mine for about 20 years and paid almost $700 for it but as a competitive Bird Carver, we all have similar tools.
Have you seen the new RAM that takes 1/4" shank burrs. That is on my wishlist with some Kutzall burrs, but will have to wait until I get a clock makers lathe.
Move the drill to the cubby on the left and you can push the wire hanging down into that extra space. Then you have the one on the right freed up for something else. Also, you could put the whole thing on a slider so that the entire thing can slide out if you need.
Hey Adam I love you videos. I wanted to suggest that for your glue gun what if you made a holster that attached to the right side of the little cubby you made. Thank you for all you do and I hope you make many more videos.
The cord for the UberDremel thingy wants to live tucked to the side between the leg and the drawers - easy enough to put some kind of keeper on the side of the drawer unit. I'd probably angle the dividers down after they emerge from the top.
I want to see the storage brown case on the background of the initial shots (when Adam is talkin). Give us a toor of your boxes!
A corner bracket for the cord to keep it out of the way of the Oils door; cut a notch out of the new sorter's left side so the glue gun can lay flat with the handle going through the notch?
Any plans to add some LED strip to illuminate the area under the workbench, Adam?
When do we get to hear about that shiny new machine thats been quietly sitting behind the bench?? Its been in the background of a few videos but this is the first time we've had a real good view of it.
I see we share the belief that any horizontal surface regardless of how inconvenient or temporary, is suitable for storage.
Have you made a place for the mallet yet. You said you wanted one might have fit with this in some way. The one I mean is the one you use to hit the grab bar on the bench that acts like a helping hand and hold whatever you're working on firmly on the bench.
