@bobm1037, hi Mr. Bob! I'm glad you found the video helpful and took the time to watch it multiple times! Reducing that heat near the garage door can make such a difference. Best of luck with your project, and let me know if you have any questions along the way!

@10tenman10, thanks for the feedback! I've been told that a few times, so I’ll definitely keep it in mind for future videos. I appreciate you watching!

Thanks for the kind words! My background is in engineering, which definitely helps when mixing tech with DIY projects. Appreciate the support!

Thanks! I actually considered adding a sliding lock to prevent the drawer from popping up when picking up the unit. A pistol grip trigger mechanism sounds even cooler, might explore that for a future upgrade! Appreciate the suggestion!

Appreciate you watching the video! Always experimenting with different tools to get the best results. 👍😊

@@CarlosWorkshopHaven The concept and the design is pretty cool. I can see a lot of functionality with it. But I like to utilize 3D printing for things like this. This actually makes me want to design a flat panel storage system like this for my Dremel bits. PS: Bro needs to learn what a 3D printer is.

I hear you! I’ve got some Dremel bits that could use better storage too. I’ll check out Thingiverse and Printables to see if there’s already something that fits, but if not, I might have to design my own solution. Thank you for your comment Steven!

Thanks a lot! Glad you’re enjoying the content, more cool stuff coming soon!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support. More projects are definitely on the way, stay tuned!

I know exactly what you mean! Those extra bags of screws never seem to have the size I need either.

Thanks, MJL! Glad you enjoyed the follow-up video! And yeah, my daughter definitely steals the spotlight.

Thanks! Glad you found the channel! 😊 As for the tab, I haven’t had any issues with my fingers getting snagged, but I’ll keep an eye on that. Appreciate the feedback!

Yes, this setup can definitely help keep your garage warmer in colder areas by insulating and retaining heat. It works both ways to improve temperature control!

Thanks a lot! Appreciate the support!

Thanks, CyberBobCity! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks! A bit holder like this would be perfect for scale model tools too. And yes, my little assistant is a hard worker as long as there are plenty of cookie payments! 🍪😊

Thanks! Love the nesting idea, that would be perfect for organizing backup bits. Might have to give that a try!

@@CarlosWorkshopHaven great, hope to see a part 2 to this video with various ideas for internal storage.. reverse telescope, as you pull up on the lid, all the internal pieces slide upward... that may be over engineering / over thinking it though. LMAO

Haha, you’re probably right! I wanted to make sure it held up, but maybe I got a little carried away. Thanks for watching!

Actually, that wasn’t a prototype-it was my previous bit holder! 😂 Glad you liked it, though!

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it, happy to share!

Thanks, Kurt! That’s exactly what I’m planning. Using the middle section for Forstner and spade bits! 😂 And hey, the secret stash idea isn’t bad either! 😉

I actually considered making it a single print from the start, but I needed the flexibility to play around with the parts and holders for clearances. I’ll probably come up with a one-piece base version down the road!

A 608 isn't the play IMO. You'd be better off printing a top & bottom with a race for 6mm bbs. You'd end up with a more stable platform.

Thanks! Keeping bits in little boxes works too, but I'm glad you like the tabletop design, it’s super handy for quick access!

Hey Jason! I’ve added STL files for convenience, so you should be able to open them more easily. You can find all the files on my Printables account-hope that helps!

What slicer are you using that can't open 3MF? It's time to upgrade.

Thanks, Ed! Glad you liked it!

Thanks so much! I’m glad you found it helpful.

I know, right? I’m not sure why, but it seems like everything’s going up these days. Thanks for watching!

@@CarlosWorkshopHaven would you recommend putting a reflective/foil-type film on the back of the foam or the front or do you think it matters much? I have old stained foam already in. But found a reflective liner that has the reflector on one side and new white look facing it so it makes the door look newer

Thanks, Steven! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, Pete! Glad you found the video helpful! The materials cost around 200 dollars (insulation boards and reflective barrier with the double air bubbles), and it took one afternoon while enjoying some quality time with my daughters. :) Appreciate you watching!

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep that in mind for future videos. Appreciate you watching!

I hear you! Those gaps can be a real hassle. You might want to look into some weatherstripping or bottom seals to help close them up and keep the leaves out. Thanks for watching!

I’ll try to show the winter weather difference in a future video. Appreciate the suggestion! Thank you for your comment!

Mr. Wu!!!!!! Thank you for the subscription! As you said, time definitely flies.

Saludos Everin! Muchas gracias!

Thanks for the feedback, Stanley! You’re right, adjusting the door springs is crucial with the added weight. I’ve actually uploaded a video that covers the spring adjustment in detail. Appreciate you watching!

Thanks for your feedback! The shaft was actually already damaged from the original install, but I definitely appreciate your input. It's a good reminder that inspecting the torsion bar is important before making any adjustments. Safety is always a priority!

Thanks, Aaron! It’s definitely a doable project if you’re comfortable with it, but always proceed with caution, especially when dealing with garage door springs.

Thanks, Sandra! I’m glad the info was helpful and inspires some DIY projects! 👍

Thanks so much! I’m glad you found it helpful, appreciate your support! 💯

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support and the kind words. Glad you found the instructions easy to follow, more content coming soon!

Thanks, Patrick! Yes, the added weight from the insulation might require rebalancing the garage door to keep it operating smoothly. It’s a small weight increase, but it’s always good to check. I’m also working on a video that shows how to rebalance the torsion springs, stay tuned!

​@CarlosWorkshopHaven I'd be interested in that as well. Could the extra weight also pose a problem for the opener?

Great question! The added weight from the insulation is minimal, but over time it could put extra strain on the opener. It’s a good idea to monitor how it operates. I also have a video on adjusting the springs to help balance the added weight. Thanks for watching!

Great question! The added weight from the insulation is minimal, around 5 lbs, but even small changes can affect the lifespan of the springs. That said, 5 lbs shouldn’t make a huge difference, but it's something to be aware of. If you're not comfortable adjusting the springs, a professional can help. I’m actually working on a video right now that will show how to replace and rebalance garage door torsion springs. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the info! You make a great point about the infrared thermometers. I'll keep that in mind for future projects and add the masking tape for more accurate measurements. As for the spacers, I ended up skipping them because of the install process, but your suggestion of using thinner foam pieces is a solid idea. Appreciate you sharing your expertise!

Thanks! Sounds like you got great use out of your unit during the heatwave. That surge protector is a smart addition, I might have to look into that and may even get one as well! Appreciate the kind words on the install.

Great questions, James! Yes, the torsion spring adjustment is because of the added weight from the insulation. I’ll keep in mind showing the door in action for future videos! The garage door open and closes without any issues and it is super quiet. As for using just the foil, it can work, but it might not insulate as well as panels. You can always add the panels later on. I will be working on a different video to show how to adjust the torsion springs. Thanks for watching!

@@CarlosWorkshopHaven thank you so much! Forgot to earlier, subscribing now :)

Thanks for subscribing, James! Really appreciate the support!

Thanks, @sharifmowad627! The gold foil sounds like a good option too. I’m glad you like the look, it really does transform the door!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Not a dumb question at all! Yes, you can open and close the door without affecting the insulation. The panels stay in place as long as they're properly installed. It’s definitely a great upgrade for your garage!

Funny you mention that Robert, I actually just installed a mini split in my garage! You can check out the install in one of my other videos. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome, Rene! Thanks for watching!

Thanks, John! Those gray and green panels are actually my Festool tracksaw tracks. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for asking. Was wondering the same.👍
