@@lucyferina Agree, loved watching it, but I spent 15$ and maybe 20 minutes to buy an over the door organizer and thought I was going a bit far to organize drop cords in the house. Bonus the little baskets on it gave a place for light bulbs. But in the garage 3 screws and couple of long metal pegs and I am good. It was interesting to watch, but I am a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. principle(and lazy) and it just seems like too much wasted time, effort, and materials(not to mention money) to hang a few drop cords and having to get a pole and hook to get it down...let's just say that after a few months the only thing it would be holding is xmas lights. Which now that I think about it wouldn't be a bad way to store the *&^% things that always tangle.
@@mishap00 To store Christmas lights I just use a flat piece of cardboard, I cut some slits on it on each side and wrap the lights around it, making sure it gets caught in the slits, that way I store it in a plastic tub with all the other stuff and it stays flat and untangled.
@@lucyferina Its become a joke in my family that every year I put away xmas lights working and perfectly organized and someone evil elf (or whatever) sneaks in the attic ties them in knots and not a single strand works without at least half a dozen or more burnt out bulbs.

I have tried something similar to what you have suggested, but I'll try anything once or twice or... you get the idea. In fact I've bought new lights in after xmas sales for the next year just so I didn't have to deal with it and yep they didn't work either. Sometimes your just not meant to win. lol

Matt, I’ve only watched a dozen or so of your videos but this is by far the best one. And no, not because you don’t talk. And you certainly seem to have put more effort in to this project than I’ve ever spent rolling up extension cords. You packed so many techniques and fab methods into this video I could not count them all. And while you may have only put one safety warning in here (about kick back), your methods are packed with good safety practices. To all this woodworking goobers with RUclips channels, Matt says “here, hold my beer”. I liked the ASMR format, please do more of them. The video was instructive and hypnotizing.

Matt, another awesome project. Your work is beautiful and so precise. However, wouldn't it have been just as easy to make Chip pull out the ladder when you needed a cord?

And then to top it off, phenomenal moviemaking! I am awed by your camera setups and editing to make the video entertaining as well as instructional.

Hope you find other videos here at Next Level Carpentry enjoyable to watch although I've only done one other 'silent film' production. Best, Matt
If a thing needs doing, why not over do it! :) Great video! Sort of reminded me of an animated version of the old "Wordless Workshop" in Popular Science!
There are a lot of people that can make really nice furniture, cabinets, etc. out of wood. Then there are a select few that can do that but also have the vision to create complex things out of thin air. I'm one of the former, I wish I was one of the latter. You are a true master.
I must have learnt at least 20 useful techniques watching this - simple things like squaring up stacks of blocks and transferring measurements - all filed away for future use. Amazing watching somebody work so efficiently. (thank you)
I think Matt just made a Form over(head) Function piece of retro art! Thank you for the great video and project! (Lesson for me: don't have so many ext cords!)
That is a homemade center finder tool I made out of brass plate some years back... fun to make and handy to have but definitely not the only way to quickly and accurately find Center. I listed a set of Starrett layout tools in the video description and one of those is a very accurate useful center finder but it comes at a price...
Matt, I have literally watched and liked every one of the videos you have posted on YT...including this one. While I was watching this one I could not help but wonder if you chose this format ...the not talking and having everything go speedy format....due to "complaints" or feedback you have gotten from viewers. I hope that's not the case. I have to say that I missed seeing you work through the project in normal speed. I missed your hilarious jokes. I missed hearing you say things like "I did it that way ...because I can." I am a fan of your videos and a fan of your commentary. I really missed it on this one! (but I still pounded that like button)
Awesome attention to the small details. Matt you’ve done another fantastic project thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge with all of your viewers.
Usually the 'clearance hole' is small enough that it holds screws in place temporarily but there's a little 5/16" shoulder on those GRK Torx lags that I sized the holes to fit. If I had it to do over I'd use a slightly smaller drillbit but then the little tape trick wouldn't have been necessary. Thanks for watching and commenting here! Best, Matt
Actually it's a prototype extension cord hanger slated for delivery to the International Space Station in early 2021... and you got to see it here... how cool is THAT?! 🤣🤣
I always pick up some tip from your videos. I had never thought about using compressed air while drilling with a hole saw to keep from burning. Brilliantly simple.
If you don't need discs from the cuts like Matt did, you can just drill 8-10mm hole next to the inner edge of the circle. The chips will be extracted automatically through that hole and nothing will ever burn again. But trick with compressed air is definitely added to my box of tricks in case I need quickly cut many round objects :)
@@oleksandrpapizhuk3215 yes, or if you do need the disc, you can drill such that the kerf of the hole saw is at the edge of the board and ejects the chips there.
Why in all that is holy did you go to such trouble when 4 cut-off pieces of broom handle set in a backboard does exactly the same job in a fraction of the time. And looks much sleeker. I'm not even sure what the cut out triangles add to the project other than a chance to show off his shop.
Don't take me wrong I DO LOVE the video....but there are other alternatives I personally would have employed!!! Besides my shop is TINY compared to yours, so space in my shop is literally at a premium!!! In other words I don't have space to build something so large, and for me "compact" is better than huge! It is a great idea and if I ever have the room you have I would and COULD see me building something like that!! Though I do think you over complicated a simple extension cord hanger, BUT I can see where using it to hang garden hose WOULD make a lot more sense from this build....it certainly gives you the option with the space that your hanger provides!! Generally too my extension cords are only 50 feet so I don't have a call of a lot of hanger space either, as I only have three extension cords also!! Meaning for my application your idea (though I respect a lot) is very unpractical for my use as well too!!
Brilliant as always. Your video is an excellent example of Alfred Hitchcock's film technique that good film does not NEED words. I miss your calm (humourous) commentary. I would NOT tune in otherwise.
Wall mounted pot lid organizer. 12.99. Takes up FAR less space AND it comes in chrome. Took less time to deliver than to watch this video. Pretty cool build though.
Hahaha 36:07 leans hook in corner hahaha. Now to make a rake for the hook. Sure liked using the 2" PVC pipe. The end stops don't have to be so long. Just a little to catch 1 coil will be enough. Makes on and off easier imo.
I don't know if you have ever tried this. But I got in the habit of using CRC heavy duty silicon tool lubricant on cutting tools years ago. We found it worked particularly well on router bits, to prevent burning. It also works great on hole saws, saw tables, miter gauge slots. While it does have Silicon in it, if allowed to dry properly before making a cuts on wood. It shouldn't poison it or prevent the finish or glue for sticking at all. If for some reason you have a finish problem, usually some acetone or mineral spirits takes care of the problem.
This was fun and informative to watch, I learned a lot. I would have just gone to HFT and bought four of the 99 cent hose hangers and mounted them to the wall then poured myself a bourbon and called it a day...
Not nearly complicated enough. It needs tiny rockets, explosive bolts, and parachutes. I didn't see a single LED anywhere; how do you know when it's turned on or not? Also, it should glow in the dark so you can find your extension cords when the power is out. I suggest a lightning bug colony in the center section. I'm sure that others have some great suggestions as well....
I wouldn't have caught this if I hadn't watched another RUclips video and done it myself. I noticed your bench grinder needs a tune up. Move the tool rests and spark arrestors within a 16th of an inch of the wheels. I also bought one of those little T shaped diamond dressing tools. It worked great.
i was looking for a way to settle the same problem! i'll maybe put a little less detail in mine though...😊 love the musical video (not that i don't like your usual naration) it was somewhat hypnotizing
Well, you put me to shame! Finding a home for my extension cords etc. I purchased a big hooks from the local hardware store for a few $. Matt's look like they're on another level. It's nice to see the pride in someone's work. Thanks for all the tips and the video. Cheers, David.
Again, sir, you amaze and delight. The time-lapse was also interesting and helpful keeping it to a little over 30 minutes.....but with much more detail than you could have included any other way.
I learned a lot from this video about template routing. But honestly would not spend that time to make something to hang up extension cords. Just buy some hooks. Spend the time on a project with more value.
I made it to the end of the end of the end. First I've seen of your vids; I thought it was fantastic and will definitely be looking for more. Great job in both the carpentry, and the presentation!
at first i thought what kind of nut builds a piece of furniture to hang extension cords? this video is full of great information ,tips and tricks. that i'm sure i can put to good use on worthwhile projects. thanks
I want one of the pole you held it up inplace when mounting. Been looking for years. Found it at Home Depot. Fastcap 3rd Hand support. Thanks to your video.
I didn’t really have time to watch the whole thing, but I made it all the way to 33:40, and by then I was hooked.... I had to be at a social function, and it came right down to the wire.... Greetings from behind the Coronavirus Curtain!
I like your videos better when you narrate what’s going on. I’ve been watching long enough to know what your doing. But I still like the narration. Great video and idea!!
Watched to the end to the end to the end... yes sir! I think if you added a little tab on your dust collection hoses you could use the same pole to hang them up.
I consider myself a Creative person. I have Pattern making and Menswear design degrees... but, 😳 🙄 This is way too much effort for cords... in a workshop. Not even a Store front. 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏽♀️. However, i appreciate his talent 👏🏾👌🏽. Btw... those tools are mighty high end! 🤔😬 👋🏾♥️🇹🇹
I encourage you to refrain from limiting yourself by overlooking a larger message in this video which is Advanced techniques for making and using templates. If you extrapolate Lessons Learned in the video you will increase your range of capabilities dramatically... Best, Matt
Put simply, that was a delight to watch. But two quick questions: 1. which solvent did you use to get the labelling off your MDPE pipe? 2. Would you ever consider a circle jig on the bandsaw to make those discs? I was delighted the first time I tried one, just how nice the result could be, only needing a VERY SHORT burst of cleanup sanding (with a suitable bandsaw blade). Great for short multiple runs too. Hatred of sanding is not unique to the NLC shop, you know... :-) I know video work takes ages - I'm doing an audio book for my locked-down (adult) children presently and that is bad enough! So a big thank you for continuing to persevere!
The solvent I used was lacquer thinner... volatile stuff but it gets right after that 'ink'. Red ink is more difficult to remove than black or blue. I suppose a circle jig is handy to have for producing a number of discs but I've never got one. Most circles I make can't have a hole for a center pivot so I just go about making circles with some other method. Falls into the category of stuff I could have but don't for lack of storage space... one of those 'it's not what you got but how you use it that counts' sort of things? I do understand that different tools are more important to different people though. Many have disc, drum and stationary belt sanders but I don't... all a matter of preference? Thanks for the encouraging words on video producing... it's FAR more challenging than even the toughest woodworking project IMHO! Best, Matt
I've been a finish carpenter for over a decade now. I always learn at least one new thing, or new technique, from Matt's videos. In this one, I picked up at least 3 new things I 'knew', but never applied to my work. In this video, as I'm watching, I'm thinking, "Wow, sure a hell of a lot of trouble to go through for a simple extension cord rack." I get the instructional on making and using templates, but still ... it's JUST a cord rack after all. About halfway through, it dawned on me. My dad used to say it all the time, "Anything worth doing, is worth doing right." Said another way, "A craftsman never half asses his way through anything. If it isn't worth making it functional and pleasing to the eye, it isn't worth doing." Thanks for your craftsmanship, Matt. You are a constant motivation for me to up my own craftsmanship.
Glad to be an inspiration... kudos for sticking with the video and realizing the deeper message MDD. Many viewers skip out thinking 'it's ridiculous to spend that much time on a simple cord rack' and miss out too. Miss out on how effective making and using templates can be on all manner of projects. I've adopted the saying 'how you do anything is how you do everything' and imagine your dad might have shared the sentiment? Thanks for watching and commenting here! Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry I really love that saying. I really enjoy your videos and always come away with some little trick or at least a new way of thinking about tasks. Thanks Again and keep up the great work.
@@toddmalenke8261 another viewer shared that saying with me awhile back. I too liked it so much I added it as an Official Next Level Carpentry teeshirt design... You're welcome... thanks for watching and commenting here... Best, Matt
Matt another mazing production. What type of wire are you using for that MIG (I assume its flux core).I have tried welding these galvanized pipes before with very little success and you seem to have done it my friend! Thank you for original amazing content! Happy Fourth of July and God Bless!!!
I'm no Pro Arek but as far as I know there is no way to weld galvanized pipe. Anytime I weld it I first grind all the zinc galvanizing off and then end up welding just bare Steel but the Weld and Joint will always rust if not painted. I use a standard welding wire and use stargon shielding gas for clean welds. That might help but if you're in a bind check with a welder that really knows what they're talking about😉😁😎
So it might be overengineered, but beeing from Germany it was the first video of NLC I stumbled into just by coincidence. And it provided great take home value for me: 1. using the small router together with a lightweight template and then the big one on the stacked pieces. 2. the ingenious way the triangle template was created. 3. the usage of superglue to assemble that template. 4. the "wood files" created from sander-belts (will make some of these directly over the weekend). And last but not least I have now an idea where to put my extension cords flying around in my garage (it has a similar height on one side :-)) - of course my construction for that purpose will be simpler but thanks for sharing these valuable tricks. I will use them in other projects. Great stuff man!!!
Thanks for such an informative and gracious comment Andreas! I'm always glad to hear when someone "gets it" where this video is concerned and the list of helpful things is valuable to me because it helps plan future videos. In addition it's quite a compliment to have someone from Germany appreciate a bit of over engineering coming from a culture whose reputation is all about top-notch engineering! 😎 I know you'll love those sanding blocks when you get around to making them and hope you find other videos here at Next Level carpentry equally beneficial and informative. Best, Matt
Initially, I thought that's a lot of work to make a rack to hang cords. Not to far into the video, I realized, yeah that's my way of thinking. I'm a guy with some woodworking tools, and very little skill, and much less creative abilities. Matt on the other hand is a creator, and can translate that into Form and Function. I'll have to watch this video again to try and remember the things I saw that made me say "Man! That's clever", or "I'm stealing that idea". Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder! One view, and I subscribed! Thanks again.
Thanks for going through the mental exercise you did here Dark Delta... many viewers can't get past the initial knee jerk 'overkill for a cord organizer' reaction and entirely miss the point you grasped. You're sure welcome for a 'peek over my shoulder' on this video... it's truly my pleasure to know engaged viewers subscribe here and gain useful knowledge! Best, Matt
Smithers, I've just seen the most incredible carpenter on RUclips. He manually routed an extension cord organizer with CNC precision. Find this carpenter! I want to make him my executive vice president.
I watched on and on because I was puzzled about how it was going to be mounted...I was expecting a wall mount, coming out perpendicular to the wall...instead an unreachable ceiling and a hook. Hmm. Not sure my cords would actually end up...up...there.
Did I need a cord organizer like this? Not at all. Did I watch the entire video twice and come away with more than a few dozen tips and tricks? Abso-damn-lutely. Good show, thank you, kind sir.
It's quite rewarding to see a comment like yours from a viewer who absolutely 'gets it' with a video like this showing an obscure build with adaptable tips, tricks and methods... thanks for watching and commenting on it Neo! Best, Matt
This process was a joy to watch for me, possibly because of the high level of TLC which went into every separate part in the process. For my own part, I'm an unrepentant hacker intent on producing something functional which will do the job. I don't think that many would disagree with the comment that the project was over- engineered, and I don't believe that there are too many people out there equipped or inclined to emulate this process. That said, I do concede that having witnessed such high quality work it will serve as a stimulus to strive for higher standards myself. By way of making a whimsical comparison, I'm mindful that Italian men are noted for wanting always to present ' una bella figura ' and accordingly are most times so well dressed that one feels like a scarecrow by comparison. So it is with this project - it is a stimulus to shame hackers like me to clean up my act.
Nice video, just like the others. What is the Delta device clamped to the fence @21:30? I've owned Rockwell an Delta machines and tools for over 45 years and for the life of me I can't figure out what that is. BTW I like that top end drill press you have.
That's a Delta Unifence circa 1982 Frank... they're an odd-looking contraption compared to the Biesmeyer style fences that are much more common. It's always worked great for me so I take it for granted others know about it leaving them and you wondering😉😎 FYI It's not doing anything special in the video... I'm just using the flat fence face to align/orient the template to the workpiece... Best, Matt
Hello Matt , das Video hat richtig Spaß gemacht . Du hast sehr gute Arbeit gemacht . Dafür hundert Daumen hoch ! Herzliche Grüße aus Hamburg Germany Jürgen Müller :)
it's a great job. But why did you throw away the templates that you spent so much time on? When you want to make a toilet paper holder with an automatic cutter, they will certainly come in handy
It's an oddity but truth be told I throw away well over 90% of templates I make because I lack the room to store them will probably never use them again and if I do they're so fast to make it simpler just to make a new one than to store the old one and then search for it when I need it... 😎
Seems like an awful lot of work to hang three extension cords, The cost of sand paper alone must have been staggering; I’d have hammered three nails in the wall over the door, hung the cords up using the ladder and called it a successful project...LOL
No apology necessary Dean... hope your circumstances improve quickly but for your well being, Patreon or no. Thanks for watching and commenting here. Best, Matt
Me, I bought a wide base coat hanger, screwed it on wall, done! If you want the Rube Goldberg many steps then follow his way. I’m totally laughing at this.
Enjoy your moment of mirth, James, while 600K other viewers learn advanced woodwork techniques. Meanwhile you admire your ingenious solution and revel in your obvious lack of talent.🤨
Something tells me you have been so annoyed with how difficult it is to properly store extension cords in a way that is practical and looks good. This is the best I've ever seen! Congrats on your new found freedom from extension cord shenanigans!
There is indeed an un-tolerable level of frustration I have for disorganization and this cord holder has relieved that frustration completely. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one... Best, Matt
Nice build I'll give you that BUT seems to have more waste wood in the burden pile then finished product has its something that really should be built out of the scraps and not accumulate scrap
Looks really good and done with obvious skills, however totally unnecessary. Mine are hanging at eye-level on a $2 hook. They are always organized, never in my way and hardly take up any space.
I will say your great at one thing. Making a project more complicated than the functionality requires. We are not going to the moon Elon musk has done that. So in the interest of brevity, Kiss it and you know what that means. Just saying RC
I think you kind of miss the point here: the video is to demonstrate how easy to make templates can produce remarkable configurations. The fact that I chose a cord organizer for the demonstration should be irrelevant when shown on a channel called Next Level Carpentry IMHO.
That's just compressed air Matthew... and it's to keep sawdust from filling teeth gullets on the holesaw during use, not to keep it cool. Another way is to drill a small sawdust relief hole tangent to the holesaw cut line but I didn't feel like doing that this time... Hope that helps? Best, Matt
Yeah but I'd rather hear you talkin it's not the same! On a side note that would also be good for expanding it to also hold your air hoses I think I have as many air hoses as extension cords
love the video ,but who would go to all this trouble, needing all this equipment when you could use a piece of old scaffold board and make it in a couple of hours

...in about 5 minutes!
Which is why most people on RUclips are not NEXT LEVEL carpenters.

This is some next level layout.
Absolutely amazing! The level of design for such a basic piece of equipment is scaaaary! Nice work Matt. Never a disappointment.

The idea and end result are great, but the main thing that I took away from this was the masking-tape screw trick you used.
Usually the 'clearance hole' is small enough that it holds screws in place temporarily but there's a little 5/16" shoulder on those GRK Torx lags that I sized the holes to fit. If I had it to do over I'd use a slightly smaller drillbit but then the little tape trick wouldn't have been necessary. Thanks for watching and commenting here! Best, Matt
Good god! all of that for extension cords? I thought you were building the space shuttle!
Actually it's a prototype extension cord hanger slated for delivery to the International Space Station in early 2021... and you got to see it here... how cool is THAT?! 🤣🤣
If its worth doing, its worth over-doing it!
rkstew How about Toggle Bolt into a stud?
@@yougolook What?
I always pick up some tip from your videos. I had never thought about using compressed air while drilling with a hole saw to keep from burning. Brilliantly simple.
Paul Heitkemper yes when I saw that , that sure beats , turning the drill off, pulling the burnt shavings, bonded to the hot teeth , thanks Matt
If you don't need discs from the cuts like Matt did, you can just drill 8-10mm hole next to the inner edge of the circle. The chips will be extracted automatically through that hole and nothing will ever burn again.
But trick with compressed air is definitely added to my box of tricks in case I need quickly cut many round objects :)
@@oleksandrpapizhuk3215 yes, or if you do need the disc, you can drill such that the kerf of the hole saw is at the edge of the board and ejects the chips there.
Got to love the Tron Legacy music in the background. Great video, love it.
Why in all that is holy did you go to such trouble when 4 cut-off pieces of broom handle set in a backboard does exactly the same job in a fraction of the time. And looks much sleeker. I'm not even sure what the cut out triangles add to the project other than a chance to show off his shop.
To some no explanation is necessary, to others (like Paul here), no explanation is possible... Quite astounding really...
Don't take me wrong I DO LOVE the video....but there are other alternatives I personally would have employed!!! Besides my shop is TINY compared to yours, so space in my shop is literally at a premium!!! In other words I don't have space to build something so large, and for me "compact" is better than huge! It is a great idea and if I ever have the room you have I would and COULD see me building something like that!! Though I do think you over complicated a simple extension cord hanger, BUT I can see where using it to hang garden hose WOULD make a lot more sense from this build....it certainly gives you the option with the space that your hanger provides!! Generally too my extension cords are only 50 feet so I don't have a call of a lot of hanger space either, as I only have three extension cords also!! Meaning for my application your idea (though I respect a lot) is very unpractical for my use as well too!!
Brilliant as always. Your video is an excellent example of Alfred Hitchcock's film technique that good film does not NEED words. I miss your calm (humourous) commentary. I would NOT tune in otherwise.
Wall mounted pot lid organizer. 12.99. Takes up FAR less space AND it comes in chrome. Took less time to deliver than to watch this video. Pretty cool build though.
Real nice work Matt! your drafting skills are great, maybe you could have been an Architect. But then it wouldn't be Next Level Carpentry.
Nice Job...... Wish I Had A Place And Tools And Time To Build This. What I Did I Got A Cardboard Box 2' x 2' x 2' And Throw All My Extension Cords In.
Oooh waouh..
This Is such amazing job👍
How long it takes you to make it ?
I give you 10 like
Congratulations !!! 👍👍👌👌
Hahaha 36:07 leans hook in corner hahaha. Now to make a rake for the hook.
Sure liked using the 2" PVC pipe. The end stops don't have to be so long. Just a little to catch 1 coil will be enough. Makes on and off easier imo.
I don't know if you have ever tried this. But I got in the habit of using CRC heavy duty silicon tool lubricant on cutting tools years ago. We found it worked particularly well on router bits, to prevent burning. It also works great on hole saws, saw tables, miter gauge slots. While it does have Silicon in it, if allowed to dry properly before making a cuts on wood. It shouldn't poison it or prevent the finish or glue for sticking at all. If for some reason you have a finish problem, usually some acetone or mineral spirits takes care of the problem.
This was fun and informative to watch, I learned a lot. I would have just gone to HFT and bought four of the 99 cent hose hangers and mounted them to the wall then poured myself a bourbon and called it a day...
Not nearly complicated enough. It needs tiny rockets, explosive bolts, and parachutes. I didn't see a single LED anywhere; how do you know when it's turned on or not? Also, it should glow in the dark so you can find your extension cords when the power is out. I suggest a lightning bug colony in the center section. I'm sure that others have some great suggestions as well....
I wouldn't have caught this if I hadn't watched another RUclips video and done it myself. I noticed your bench grinder needs a tune up. Move the tool rests and spark arrestors within a 16th of an inch of the wheels. I also bought one of those little T shaped diamond dressing tools. It worked great.
i was looking for a way to settle the same problem!
i'll maybe put a little less detail in mine though...😊
love the musical video (not that i don't like your usual naration) it was somewhat hypnotizing
So much effort and work, but I don’t understand using PVC pipe. I feel like it degrades the whole project a little.
Well, you put me to shame! Finding a home for my extension cords etc. I purchased a big hooks from the local hardware store for a few $. Matt's look like they're on another level. It's nice to see the pride in someone's work. Thanks for all the tips and the video. Cheers, David.
Great job, I think I'm just gonna hang my cords on old some dowel rods or off some existing overhanging 2x4's though
Again, sir, you amaze and delight. The time-lapse was also interesting and helpful keeping it to a little over 30 minutes.....but with much more detail than you could have included any other way.
I learned a lot from this video about template routing. But honestly would not spend that time to make something to hang up extension cords. Just buy some hooks. Spend the time on a project with more value.
I made it to the end of the end of the end. First I've seen of your vids; I thought it was fantastic and will definitely be looking for more. Great job in both the carpentry, and the presentation!
at first i thought what kind of nut builds a piece of furniture to hang extension cords? this video is full of great information ,tips and tricks. that i'm sure i can put to good use on worthwhile projects. thanks
I want one of the pole you held it up inplace when mounting. Been looking for years. Found it at Home Depot. Fastcap 3rd Hand support. Thanks to your video.
I didn’t really have time to watch the whole thing, but I made it all the way to 33:40, and by then I was hooked.... I had to be at a social function, and it came right down to the wire....
Greetings from behind the Coronavirus Curtain!
Hey DCS... thanks for stopping by! Coronavirus Curtain... good one! I've not heard that before but will definitely use it! Best, Matt
I like your videos better when you narrate what’s going on. I’ve been watching long enough to know what your doing. But I still like the narration. Great video and idea!!
I would love to see some complex joints, maybe projects not requiring screws or nails...
Even you build a thing that far away cannot be touch by hand, you still sand & smooth it as usual....😄
What is the music that is playing?
Does anyone know?
Watched to the end to the end to the end... yes sir!
I think if you added a little tab on your dust collection hoses you could use the same pole to hang them up.
Do you do ANYTHING half-assed Matt!? WOW 😮
It'll be 03:30AM in Sydney so I shall catch it in the morning once the sun comes up...
The pole works but a HF bike winch would let all of them down at once to easy reach.
Beautiful... but Dude, you have entirely too much time on your hands.
I consider myself a Creative person. I have Pattern making and Menswear design degrees... but, 😳 🙄 This is way too much effort for cords... in a workshop. Not even a Store front. 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏽♀️. However, i appreciate his talent 👏🏾👌🏽. Btw... those tools are mighty high end! 🤔😬 👋🏾♥️🇹🇹
I encourage you to refrain from limiting yourself by overlooking a larger message in this video which is Advanced techniques for making and using templates. If you extrapolate Lessons Learned in the video you will increase your range of capabilities dramatically... Best, Matt
Put simply, that was a delight to watch. But two quick questions:
1. which solvent did you use to get the labelling off your MDPE pipe?
2. Would you ever consider a circle jig on the bandsaw to make those discs? I was delighted the first time I tried one, just how nice the result could be, only needing a VERY SHORT burst of cleanup sanding (with a suitable bandsaw blade). Great for short multiple runs too. Hatred of sanding is not unique to the NLC shop, you know... :-)
I know video work takes ages - I'm doing an audio book for my locked-down (adult) children presently and that is bad enough! So a big thank you for continuing to persevere!
The solvent I used was lacquer thinner... volatile stuff but it gets right after that 'ink'. Red ink is more difficult to remove than black or blue.
I suppose a circle jig is handy to have for producing a number of discs but I've never got one. Most circles I make can't have a hole for a center pivot so I just go about making circles with some other method. Falls into the category of stuff I could have but don't for lack of storage space... one of those 'it's not what you got but how you use it that counts' sort of things? I do understand that different tools are more important to different people though. Many have disc, drum and stationary belt sanders but I don't... all a matter of preference? Thanks for the encouraging words on video producing... it's FAR more challenging than even the toughest woodworking project IMHO! Best, Matt
I've been a finish carpenter for over a decade now. I always learn at least one new thing, or new technique, from Matt's videos. In this one, I picked up at least 3 new things I 'knew', but never applied to my work. In this video, as I'm watching, I'm thinking, "Wow, sure a hell of a lot of trouble to go through for a simple extension cord rack." I get the instructional on making and using templates, but still ... it's JUST a cord rack after all. About halfway through, it dawned on me. My dad used to say it all the time, "Anything worth doing, is worth doing right." Said another way, "A craftsman never half asses his way through anything. If it isn't worth making it functional and pleasing to the eye, it isn't worth doing."
Thanks for your craftsmanship, Matt. You are a constant motivation for me to up my own craftsmanship.
Glad to be an inspiration... kudos for sticking with the video and realizing the deeper message MDD. Many viewers skip out thinking 'it's ridiculous to spend that much time on a simple cord rack' and miss out too. Miss out on how effective making and using templates can be on all manner of projects. I've adopted the saying 'how you do anything is how you do everything' and imagine your dad might have shared the sentiment? Thanks for watching and commenting here! Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry I really love that saying. I really enjoy your videos and always come away with some little trick or at least a new way of thinking about tasks. Thanks Again and keep up the great work.
@@toddmalenke8261 another viewer shared that saying with me awhile back. I too liked it so much I added it as an Official Next Level Carpentry teeshirt design...
You're welcome... thanks for watching and commenting here... Best, Matt
Matt another mazing production. What type of wire are you using for that MIG (I assume its flux core).I have tried welding these galvanized pipes before with very little success and you seem to have done it my friend! Thank you for original amazing content! Happy Fourth of July and God Bless!!!
I'm no Pro Arek but as far as I know there is no way to weld galvanized pipe. Anytime I weld it I first grind all the zinc galvanizing off and then end up welding just bare Steel but the Weld and Joint will always rust if not painted. I use a standard welding wire and use stargon shielding gas for clean welds. That might help but if you're in a bind check with a welder that really knows what they're talking about😉😁😎
So it might be overengineered, but beeing from Germany it was the first video of NLC I stumbled into just by coincidence. And it provided great take home value for me: 1. using the small router together with a lightweight template and then the big one on the stacked pieces. 2. the ingenious way the triangle template was created. 3. the usage of superglue to assemble that template. 4. the "wood files" created from sander-belts (will make some of these directly over the weekend). And last but not least I have now an idea where to put my extension cords flying around in my garage (it has a similar height on one side :-)) - of course my construction for that purpose will be simpler but thanks for sharing these valuable tricks. I will use them in other projects. Great stuff man!!!
Thanks for such an informative and gracious comment Andreas!
I'm always glad to hear when someone "gets it" where this video is concerned and the list of helpful things is valuable to me because it helps plan future videos. In addition it's quite a compliment to have someone from Germany appreciate a bit of over engineering coming from a culture whose reputation is all about top-notch engineering! 😎
I know you'll love those sanding blocks when you get around to making them and hope you find other videos here at Next Level carpentry equally beneficial and informative. Best, Matt
Initially, I thought that's a lot of work to make a rack to hang cords. Not to far into the video, I realized, yeah that's my way of thinking. I'm a guy with some woodworking tools, and very little skill, and much less creative abilities. Matt on the other hand is a creator, and can translate that into Form and Function. I'll have to watch this video again to try and remember the things I saw that made me say "Man! That's clever", or "I'm stealing that idea". Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder! One view, and I subscribed! Thanks again.
Thanks for going through the mental exercise you did here Dark Delta... many viewers can't get past the initial knee jerk 'overkill for a cord organizer' reaction and entirely miss the point you grasped. You're sure welcome for a 'peek over my shoulder' on this video... it's truly my pleasure to know engaged viewers subscribe here and gain useful knowledge! Best, Matt
Felicidades por ese trabajo quedo de maravilla. Y tendrá el de como izo el de sus lijas manuales
Great project, and good job on the "Wordless Workshop" video.
Smithers, I've just seen the most incredible carpenter on RUclips. He manually routed an extension cord organizer with CNC precision. Find this carpenter! I want to make him my executive vice president.
Thanks... but rather than 'executive vice president' I'll settle for your favorite RUclips Channel host! 😁😉😎
I watched on and on because I was puzzled about how it was going to be mounted...I was expecting a wall mount, coming out perpendicular to the wall...instead an unreachable ceiling and a hook. Hmm. Not sure my cords would actually end up...up...there.
I don't think of the ceiling as 'unreachable' Andrew but, rather, unused. It's a different paradigm when space is at a premium...
Did I need a cord organizer like this? Not at all. Did I watch the entire video twice and come away with more than a few dozen tips and tricks? Abso-damn-lutely. Good show, thank you, kind sir.
It's quite rewarding to see a comment like yours from a viewer who absolutely 'gets it' with a video like this showing an obscure build with adaptable tips, tricks and methods... thanks for watching and commenting on it Neo! Best, Matt
This process was a joy to watch for me, possibly because of the high level of TLC which went into every separate part in the process. For my own part, I'm an unrepentant hacker intent on producing something functional which will do the job. I don't think that many would disagree with the comment that the project was over- engineered, and I don't believe that there are too many people out there equipped or inclined to emulate this process. That said, I do concede that having witnessed such high quality work it will serve as a stimulus to strive for higher standards myself.
By way of making a whimsical comparison, I'm mindful that Italian men are noted for wanting always to present ' una bella figura ' and accordingly are most times so well dressed that one feels like a scarecrow by comparison. So it is with this project - it is a stimulus to shame hackers like me to clean up my act.
Onward and upward Harold! Thanks for watching and commenting... Best, Matt
Nice video, just like the others.
What is the Delta device clamped to the fence @21:30? I've owned Rockwell an Delta machines and tools for over 45 years and for the life of me I can't figure out what that is. BTW I like that top end drill press you have.
That's a Delta Unifence circa 1982 Frank... they're an odd-looking contraption compared to the Biesmeyer style fences that are much more common. It's always worked great for me so I take it for granted others know about it leaving them and you wondering😉😎 FYI It's not doing anything special in the video... I'm just using the flat fence face to align/orient the template to the workpiece... Best, Matt
Hello Matt , das Video hat richtig Spaß gemacht . Du hast sehr gute Arbeit gemacht . Dafür hundert Daumen hoch ! Herzliche Grüße aus Hamburg Germany Jürgen Müller :)
it's a great job. But why did you throw away the templates that you spent so much time on? When you want to make a toilet paper holder with an automatic cutter, they will certainly come in handy
It's an oddity but truth be told I throw away well over 90% of templates I make because I lack the room to store them will probably never use them again and if I do they're so fast to make it simpler just to make a new one than to store the old one and then search for it when I need it... 😎
Seems like an awful lot of work to hang three extension cords, The cost of sand paper alone must have been staggering; I’d have hammered three nails in the wall over the door, hung the cords up using the ladder and called it a successful project...LOL
Yeah, I hear that a lot Buzz😂😁😎
Interesting New Format Very Sorry to had to leave PATREON. I'll be back as soon as I can. I wish you well.
No apology necessary Dean... hope your circumstances improve quickly but for your well being, Patreon or no. Thanks for watching and commenting here. Best, Matt
Me, I bought a wide base coat hanger, screwed it on wall, done! If you want the Rube Goldberg many steps then follow his way. I’m totally laughing at this.
Enjoy your moment of mirth, James, while 600K other viewers learn advanced woodwork techniques. Meanwhile you admire your ingenious solution and revel in your obvious lack of talent.🤨
Something tells me you have been so annoyed with how difficult it is to properly store extension cords in a way that is practical and looks good.
This is the best I've ever seen! Congrats on your new found freedom from extension cord shenanigans!
There is indeed an un-tolerable level of frustration I have for disorganization and this cord holder has relieved that frustration completely. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one... Best, Matt
Nice build I'll give you that BUT seems to have more waste wood in the burden pile then finished product has its something that really should be built out of the scraps and not accumulate scrap
Thanks... Sort of... FYI this actually was made from scrap plus it teaches valuable lessons and what's possible by using templates so there's that.
Looks really good and done with obvious skills, however totally unnecessary. Mine are hanging at eye-level on a $2 hook. They are always organized, never in my way and hardly take up any space.
Ahhh, I see: yet another tastes of someone failing to see the forest for the trees. 😏
I will say your great at one thing. Making a project more complicated than the functionality requires. We are not going to the moon Elon musk has done that. So in the interest of brevity, Kiss it and you know what that means. Just saying RC
I think you kind of miss the point here: the video is to demonstrate how easy to make templates can produce remarkable configurations. The fact that I chose a cord organizer for the demonstration should be irrelevant when shown on a channel called Next Level Carpentry IMHO.
In North Carolina they would say "He went around his elbow to get to his thumb!" From an engineers point of view, fascinating to watch.
Love the quote Gary!! I've been known to go far beyond my elbow getting to my thumb at times too! LOL Best, Matt
Loved it. I love watching and learning from you.
Will be waiting for the fine furniture grade pole hook holder.
Interesting way to clear dust from the holesaw!
If somthing is worth doing , it is worth doing it well... well done !
That's by far the best YT channel in woodworking, Matt the shiny brain. From Italy
Been called a lot of things but this is the first time I've been called a 'shiny brain'... good one! 😎
What a great space saver
I think instead of the pole I would have a pulley systemI
Subscribed
Thx for the sub! The pole is handier than you might think but a pulley system might be handier than I think...😉 Best, Matt
Are you using water to cool down your hole saw bit? I've never seen anyone cool a bit with anything but air... Could you talk about this?
That's just compressed air Matthew... and it's to keep sawdust from filling teeth gullets on the holesaw during use, not to keep it cool. Another way is to drill a small sawdust relief hole tangent to the holesaw cut line but I didn't feel like doing that this time... Hope that helps? Best, Matt
The little details make all the difference. I like your sanding board rack too!
Yeah but I'd rather hear you talkin it's not the same! On a side note that would also be good for expanding it to also hold your air hoses I think I have as many air hoses as extension cords
I'm with you on the air hose thing Ed: ruclips.net/video/8ZfsRTWGwl8/видео.html and ropes too! Best, Matt
I appreciate all your great content, thank you!
love the video ,but who would go to all this trouble, needing all this equipment when you could use a piece of old scaffold board and make it in a couple of hours
Yeah... I get that a lot! Kind of goes with the whole Next Level Carpentry name of the channel, you see? 😁😎
Me...scrap 2x4 and 16d nails space randomly. NLC...work of art.
I totally get it, Bronson... you're not the first one to mention a more sensible approach to such things! 😉😁😂😎 Best, Matt
A lot of work where I can get some hangers at Home Depot or mount large, angled dowel rods in a backboard.
Or just put some 16 pennies into the wall
You’ve inspired me. Love the videos. I’m learning a lot and enjoy the detailed explanation.
Glad to hear it Jeremy... thanks for watching and letting me know!
Best, Matt
