Don't sleep on Jordan. I like his simplistic approach and being organized with the hint of complication by undermounting the drawer slides. I can see a lil use for everyone's contribution. I usually morph ideas together when building things. I really enjoyed watching this series. Keep it coming. Go team Jordan...
@@jordanheider2662if you are supposedly not the brightest..then why did you come up with a simple yet effective way to build a cool cart? Labelling is totally logical! Loved the body clamp move...lol...I would do the same. Give yourself more credit mister!
I don’t think I can pick a favorite. Each one brings something to the table. Most of my shop furniture is just a quick solution for my needs. I think after watching this I will practice my joints on shop stuff like John does. Thanks guys doing a great job.
I made the beginner cart design and added french cleats to the sides so it can be a project cart that can have interchangeable tools on the sides depending on just what the project is. I take the required stools off my french cleated walls and they slip right on the sides. It can go onto the deck or out of the garage with me.
I really like Sam’s cart for the stadium seating approach. I have a couple of suggestions for the next video in this series. Bedside table, storage cabinet, cutting board
Nice job guys. For a shop cart that is going to get some abuse, I would go with simplicity and cheapness. I have to give my nod to Sam. Thanks for sharing.
Really like the 3 way format would love to see it applied to level of equipment too. Like DIY just has battery powered stuff, intermediate has a miter saw, expert has jointers, table saws, etc
@@gregntammie maybe watch for method. Better, more expensive tools, make for faster production. The method remains the same. A $25, well tuned Stanley hand plane can accomish the same as a $25k Format jointer/planer. It'll just take longer.
Dudes! You totally hit the spot with this video, I am a brand new woodworker who's been, "binging" your video's trying to learn and Bam! Here's a, "where to start" video answering just that. I now know what I'm building next. Now I know it should be a cart. I also know what cart I will be, "planning to build" down the road once I'm better! Thank you.
Someone mentioned that the beginner level should be what a normal person would have around thier home, like a drill, circular saw and maybe even a table saw, but nothing too crazy so we can actually build some of this at home!!
I am new to the carpentry game. Just starting up as a hobby... I have see a lot of UA-cam vids, but this guy has VISION & CREATIVITY on the fly!!! Would love to take a class and be a student in his shop. His emotion and wittiness is great and matches his knowledge.
With all the squirrely-ness that goes on I almost forgot just how talented John and the team are at straight up woodworking! Great video, I’d like to tackle one for my shop soon, keep it up!
@@John_Malecki Except someone hasn't put one of the chisels back between Sam's into and yours. Everything else is so perfectly placed. Beautiful and functional
Sir...those are not simply "tools". Those are Woodpecker implements; the equivalents of trophy wives or virtue-signaling yard signs on election years. These laser engraved status symbols are reminders of the inferiority of us lowlier, ill equipped, non SawStop owners!
Lol, I'm rewatching this 11-14-22 and laughed out loud when Jordan says use 3/4 plywood and cheap/affordable material in the same sentence! 🤣 Also, crazy how fast prices change
I almost launched coffee out of my sinuses when the "Just the Tip" segment came on. Some grade A Assclownery!! Really like the 3 levels vids and I think the "stadium" cart is good in theory and could be useful but the big fella's cart was the best IMO. That assembly top is something I could use.
Swap the DIY with the pro carts. As a pro, I use lots of carts to move material through the shop. With a few exceptions, they allow like you DIY cart. I don't have the time a hobbyist has to make that fancy pro cart. Nor do I have a need for it. I need a quick, dirty, cheap, strong rolling cart. Love the video. Never underestimate the awesomeness of a fleet of carts!
Ironically our next challenge is a One Sheet & One board challenge, Me vs. Sam and Jordan. We each have 2 days and we spin a wheel to pick the project. What do you think ?
@@John_Malecki damn that is quite a good idea, maybe if your feeling challenged get a even more skilled worker eg Adam Savage and try to challenge him (over video call of-course)
I'm so glad to hear someone say that they like to practise joinery techniques on shop furniture! Once I clean up enough space in my garage to actually have room to build and use shop furniture of my own, I intend to do the same. Every design idea for potential shop furniture I've doodled in my notebook has used different joins so that I could learn how to do them better. So hopefully when I eventually get to using them on a project that I don't want to screw up, I'll have made most of my mistakes on something I don't mind won't be perfect. Of course, having said that, John's use of those joins in his cart is still way beyond my skill level at this stage 😂
I would have to say Sam's is the best. I have two carts that Adam Savage made. One is for general hand tools, and another is for my wood working stuff (planes, saws, glue, sandpaper). I use both every day. I am a believer of "drawers are where tools go to die" I don't remember who said it (maybe Adam). Keep up the good work, love the videos. Go Bears
The “beginner” should be required to use a little portable table saw and circular saw with a straight edge and clamps...like the tools that beginners have.
Agreed, but not even a table saw. "DIY" should include hand tools and hand-held power tools only. Rip the plywood with a circular saw while its hanging over a sidewalk curb.
I liked the first one - in fact will be building three or so for a 2 level miter saw setup, and a table saw outfeed table/cart. Thanks for the great examples, and some day I may have time and energy to make ones like the third version. I will be looking at the Adam Savage cart as. as a third [project. Great, fast versions of the builds!
Great video and great Ideas. John - yours looks too pretty to use! I think I would do a hybrid of John and Sams! Jordan - great job thinking outside the box - I would be nervous that my cart would tip over when I open the lid up. Great work guys!
Alfred, 18 years experience. It's a shop cart so you make it out of doug fir off cuts that are mostly twisted so you don't even bother with fancy joinery. Besides, since you're a professional carpenter and not a youtuber, the slab in your shop is so uneven it doesn't matter how straight it is, you're going to have to shim it every time you use it. Fasten with something from your box of mismatched screws. Do you have a box of random hardware? I do, maybe some casters in there? If not there's a bar next to the Ace Hardware. Take three hours to go to the Ace Hardware and buy four casters. One of these will not swivel because you went to the bar first (rookie mistake). Go back to Ace hardware, exchange for a swivel caster. Make sure you attach them with decking screws that use all different kind of drivers so you can curse yourself sometime in the future when you need to steal a caster for something else.
I liked each little cart to be honest. The first one, I liked the fact, that the top, had hidden storage, now.. I might have done the sliding mechanism, different, so that you could have stuff on it, and it not.. break when you go to slide it out to get a tool. But it was neat. Second cart, I like Adam savages idea being used, about having access to hand tools when you need them. 3rd cart, well I like the extra work that went in to finishing it up. function wise, I didn't much care for it. Mainly because a mobile cart, your probably not going to be using it to clamp any projects down.. when you have a main work table. This was a neat segment.
A pro tip that I'd like to share in "no loose cloths or dangly pull cords around power tools....... especially table saws". Jordan's pull cords, for his hood, made me wince when he was on the table saw. I know there's a whole perspective issue and there might have been quite a big gap, but next time he might have to lean over a bit further and ............! I have even seen this happen and I was so glad that my friend didn't have nots on the end of his toggle and that it wasn't stitched in anywhere. He did get pulled towards the blade but thankfully the cord pulled all of the way through his hood before it was to late. It took him a long time to get back into his shop, but we have all learnt from his mistake and are hopefully a lot safer for it 👍
Love the sliding tabletop on the beginner. Can you do a triple option for kitchen carts? Trying to find ideas for my wife that will hold cast iron pans under the top with a cutting board top that slides open and holds cooking utensils
No lumber could be described as 'cheap and affordable' right now. When I am paying $15 for one 2x4 or $25 for a pressure treated one, time to take a break from DIY for a bit.
@thezfunk prices have dropped in the 2 years since your list but because most US dimensional lumber comes ft n Canada - it's long overdue you check with your local wood mill & avoid big box stores at all costs - because the Canadian mills are a hot mess again & getting worse!
WTH do you want me to pick? All 3 are awesome sauce thank you very much ☺️! My husband used to be a good craftsman and I learned a thing or two. Much rather have unpainted wooden furniture.
We’re just patriots here. Support those when and women who give us the chance to do what we do, we hang the flag as a sign of our appreciation. It was a gift from a marine fan!
Dude awesome videos. You keep me entertained throughout the entire video. 1 request, could you do a “3 ways” on shoe racks????? I promise I’ll “like” the video when you do. Go Bears!!!!!

I’m a mixed media artist and I feel the second design would get the most use from me. Loved this video.

i dig it, we'll see what we can come up with !
I was gonna watch this video but as soon as I saw the "DIY" using $10k worth of tools I stopped.
@@gregntammie Everything they made can be done with just a circular saw, pocket holes is not the only way to put screws in wood
I like this idea!

you can drill pocket holes without a jig. I have been doing it for awhile.
@@waltewhitesPhDnot just that but a Kregg jig is like $15-20 at any big box store

My favorite: Sam's. I like the concept of the first order of use and the ability to see what I have and if anything is missing at a glance.
I love how you include the boys and challenge them both and include them in the show. This is UA-cam and all, but this is the work of a great boss.
Yes this is my favorite part about this series! The best way to learn is letting them step up to the plate.
I totally agree! I've had so many horrible bosses...these guys always have fun while taking care of business.
I love all 3 carts, they are awesome. Great job guys. I would love to build all 3 for my shop some day.
Hi John, all three carts looked well made and functional, but yours really did have the wow factor xxx
I appreciate, being a novice myself, yins showing 3 different levels of builds. It allows me to aspire to something and learn a hell of a lot.
With all the squirrely-ness that goes on I almost forgot just how talented John and the team are at straight up woodworking! Great video, I’d like to tackle one for my shop soon, keep it up!
Sam's wins for me with functionality and ease of modifications.
Love these videos!
The Pro shop cart was awesome, but for speed and utily I think the Beginner wins out for me. That sliding top!
John "I don't like seeing tools"
Also John, stood in front of a wall with tools on show 😂😂
Thats only because every single tool has a place! also, we havent made a hand tool cavinet hahaha

I like the Adam savage way of thinking since I do tinkering in wood, electronics, repairs., small engine and RC cars
all the carts turned out great for their intended purposes. All of them have different shop organization ideologies in mind too which is kinda cool.
The 3 was awesome nothing negative about them, thanks for the share
Great video and great Ideas. John - yours looks too pretty to use! I think I would do a hybrid of John and Sams! Jordan - great job thinking outside the box - I would be nervous that my cart would tip over when I open the lid up. Great work guys!
I really enjoy watching these. I would love to see three levels of worktables.
I really like Sams idea of the tiered tool holders. Might try that myself
Great trick with maple plugs and inserts on tenons, looks so much fancier. :)
I just finished watching a video of yours from July 2017. The Rustic Farmhouse Table video. Good Job on this channel John
All of the builds are great in different ways but John, yours is truly functional artwork!
yes the 3-level's video is amazing. I get to weigh my options on how much effort i want to put into this type of stuff lol keep it up!!
If I had a workshop like this, I could make the eighth wonder of the world.
Another awesome 3 piece bro. Like the pro the most but begginer one a close second for time and ease. Keep it up mate
3 ways videos are awesome! Thanks guys!
Love the picture of the iconic Ron Swanson, the woodworking master
You knocked it outta the park john
Awesome stuff guys! I feel like yall would be the type I'd have a beer with and build random cool shit!!
YES!!! I just rewatched the other 3 Level videos and need a shop cart! The perfect video!!
The PRO cart is amazing and, with some tweaks, could be slightly altered to use in a kitchen/outdoor entertainment area!
Love your three versions beginner ,intermediate and pro

Going back to the day Where Jordan and Sam were apart of the Channel. All three of them are great builds. Miss the guys that helped build this channel
They're all good, but I like Jordan's the best.
Love all three! great ideas in all.
why am i just finding your channel now, awesome stuff.
I LOVE the projects you work on! It would be SOOOO AWESOME to learn some new skills from you in your shop and build something with you!
I like these 3 ways videos. One more thing to add that would be interesting and helpful is how much time it takes at each level
Every project took roughly one day. Sam was the fastest, but thats a good idea we'll make sure is in the future
@@John_Malecki thanks for the reply! Keep up the good work and ass clownery
I love these. Just an idea but maybe use beginner/intermediate/pro tools at each level.
Than live stream comin up is gonna be two hours of solid, squirrely awesomeness!!!

Is that how it's gonna look? I thought we were gonna Mortise the hinges! :) Diresta fans know!!! Cool series guys!
Thx for giving me a idea of what to build
Let's see a John Malecki/Adam Savage collab!!! That would be epic!!!
I still need to get a set of those JKM dovetail jigs!! Will have to do that tonight. Awsome video as always!
Love the sliding tabletop on the beginner. Can you do a triple option for kitchen carts? Trying to find ideas for my wife that will hold cast iron pans under the top with a cutting board top that slides open and holds cooking utensils
Just made the chili from the shop chef video (with a few minor tweaks) was absolutely delicious!
beginner using tools people can't generally afford as a hobbyist or just starting out. With that said, great series.
Like the 3 Waze but pls add an end segment of comparing them side by side w/pros & cons etc.
John another great video thank you thank you so much the cards came out awesome . appreciate it my friend from Doug
All super cool but yours is the best bro but the 3 way concept is awesome 👌 helps me step up my game thx for all the hard work!!!
No lumber could be described as 'cheap and affordable' right now. When I am paying $15 for one 2x4 or $25 for a pressure treated one, time to take a break from DIY for a bit.
FB market place is where I get most of my wood from, often cheap sometimes free.
Where are you at? Cause I'm in Alberta, Canada, and pallet builds are getting to be popular for just this reason.
2yrs later and I’m paying $10 per 2x4 - and that’s in Australia - prices are down again - thank goodness.
@thezfunk prices have dropped in the 2 years since your list but because most US dimensional lumber comes ft n Canada - it's long overdue you check with your local wood mill & avoid big box stores at all costs - because the Canadian mills are a hot mess again & getting worse!
Where are you? I'm paying $5 a stick for clear
WTH do you want me to pick? All 3 are awesome sauce thank you very much ☺️! My husband used to be a good craftsman and I learned a thing or two. Much rather have unpainted wooden furniture.
This is personal thoughts. A true pro/expert should only use exactly same tool as beginner to make pro final product. Thanks for filming.
