  • Adam revamps the hardware storage system for his workshop by building a new custom wall of storage bins! Nuts, bolts, and all manner of hardware now live in this new sorter system that rolls perfectly into its new home in the cave. Happy sorting!
    Sorting Bins: amzn.to/2PhSf87
    Casters: amzn.to/2rUfeOI
    (Note: Adam used six locking versions of these casters, which spreads the weight better than just four.)

    Your sorting is exactly how we have our bins where I work in Aviation. A couple pointers I would add:
    1) we have mounted an example item on the front edge of where you have the plywood strip. This signifies what’s in the compartment for easy identification, especially items not at eye height, empty boxes for restocking, or if you remove the compartment for the workbench and then return it. This helps a lot when searching for a piece of hardware that visual is a better fit to a problem. Also this helps a lot where you have a bunch of miscellaneous items, say a compartment of roll pins, beside a compartment of hitch pins.
    2) often helpful to place the label from the packaging to the back wall of the compartment for proper identification when re ordering stock.
    3) the tilt you gave the compartments will be a headache when rolling the stand over any transitions. The hardware will vibrate out the front. A slight tilt in the other direction (aft down) would keep all hardware in compartments and also allows more to fit in the bins. Tilted down in the front is great on a bench or wall, but in motion no so much.
    Beautiful build.

      ecoheliguy I used to set up the blue steel 40-hole bolt bins. We would have set it up a little differently.
      We would have gone to “eye level minus 1 row” and put the nuts and washers. Fender washers would go in a drawer to give you 4 more spots.
      Then below the nuts and washers, start with the shortest bolts and go longer until you are out of room.
      Then start back from the top down to the nuts with the longest few (least used) sizes.
      That might not be best for Adam’s situation, but it was our default when space was at a premium.

    I've been welding for years, and one tip I've found out is that if your casters on one end of the rack is fixed then it tends to be easier to move around. However I know since your dealing with space why you would want them like you do. But if you move it a long distance then its a little harder. Thanks for all the wonderful videos over the years.

      @@thinfourth If you ever need to replace them (or remove them to reuse them on something else), it's definitely harder if they're welded on... even if you have a plasma cutter. The fact that I can mount/unmount the casters with the same 2 hand tools (and that they are tools that most people are likely to have) is much easier than permanently connecting them and then trying to cut them apart and retain usability. For a relevant example, what if 6 casters wound up being not quite enough and Adam decided that 8 was the right number? If he figured that out after bolting them on he'd just need to drill some new holes, but after welding he'd have to cut them off and then grind them down to be level enough to use again...
      That said, casters really are one of those things that generally live on the item forever after you put them on, so it's certainly not outrageous to weld them on.

    Adam, welding student here. Dude, where are your gloves? You're burning your hands with UV radiation! You need those hands to craft, my friend.

      Welding student? Dude lighten up. Welding isn't good for you, and neither is is unsolicited advice. If they ask, give it free, if they don't, just walk away. Save the trouble

      Yeah, having accidentally received some pretty nasty UV burns from welding myself, my skin was crawling watching that. He goes through the trouble of putting on a jacket, but completely neglects gloves .

      @@stevek5988 im sure he does know better. But he still isnt wearing ppe. Knowing the right way to do something and actually doing it that way are very different things. Adam himself confessed he is impatient and impatience can lead to unsafe work practices.

    I think I have confirmed Adam is my spirit animal. @12:00 there's a poster on the back of the door, the one that says, "You can't take the sky from me." That exact art is my phone case. I saw that and had to double-take and double-check. Yep. This is the hardware sorter I am destined to build for my workshop at work.
