The fact that so many are suggesting “tweaks” to your design shows you are a massive success - your approach makes people *think* which means you inspire people which is what YT should do.
I am very thankful for the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO that has been a tremendous help to me in building a perfect outdoor shed. I have been facing many challenges and difficulties for a long time, but this plan has guided me to correct the mistakes during the process. I am impressed by the projects and I express my gratitude to the creator of this collection of plans.
That would also be a great concept to use for a small kitchen that doesn’t have a lot of cabinets. I could see it used for spices, utensils, measuring cups and spoons, etc. etc. etc..
im working out of a single car garage and it is such an absolute mess, i sit down look around and just stress out, videos like this make me so hopeful i can figure out a way to make it work
No stressing! One weekend, one vacation...whatever. EVERYTHING comes out, look at your stuff and your space. Measure stuff, transfer to paper, spend some time moving things around. You will find a way! YOU CAN DO THIS! I'm there for ya! Blessings to you and your family, Tom
I have to admit that half way through I thought this is proper RUclips project - looks impressive, but no one will actually build something like this for own use only. I was wrong. It looks really functional and makes a lot of sense for a small work room. Great editing as well. No minutes and minutes of table saw cutting and glueing up layers of planks. Just the essence of the project. Well done!
Many of the other creators call their projects "ultimate" but they look and function like everyone else's. But this, this project truly is deserving of the word ultimate! Subscribed!
Our "guy" never let's us down. For he's a "Genius" of Genius's! Thank you kind Sir. We'll wait for another Gem; that comes from you. And we KNOW it will be an awesome great Gem!❤
At first I thought, nah prefer to use a normal cleats with sone nice tool holders as a few nice designs on You Tube. (Glimpse in Side). Especially considering us wood workers can be a little vain and like to show the tools we have? 😂😂But after seeing how this turned out, would definitely buy the plans if you have them in metric. Fantastic use of space and looks great on the wall. What I also like about it is should you ever rearrange or move, then it’s a simple case of just lifting the whole box off the wall with all your tools inside and all in one go. Genius albeit heavy. But if done right french cleats can take huge amounts of weight so no problems there! Excellent 👍
Brilliant design so compact with great access plans would be much appreciated and thanks so much for this ride your taking us on it’s always well edited and interesting to watch
This is one of your best projects. I am always impressed with how effective your designs are. I also have a small shop. I really appreciate your approach, thoughtfulness and engineering. Well done
This is great way to store and care for one's tools . Everything stored , cared for and it takes up only a tiny space and no floor space is used up by a trolley . Wel done !!! And very motivating .
Just a suggestion to what you did. I would have put the aluminium guides on the back for aesthetic reasons as I'm an architect. The other suggestion would be to make the upper guide slot deeper so you can remove the panels. You may well have done that though so if you did, good thinking.
Lots of thoughtful yet simple details in this one project, practical and inspirational for us part-time hobbyists with small shop space. You explain your project goals and design reasoning very well. Also enjoyed the cavalier disregard at 16:49 😄 I'd like to see more of your tool holder ideas, and a follow-up on the cabinet after living with it for a while.
Great cabinet! I've been wanting to build a tool cabinet for my wood shop but just haven't got around to it. I think another great idea for your cabinet would be to use your bottom door as a table. You could put a small chain on each end. I know you wouldn't be able to put heavy stuff on it but it could hold your tools as you select them. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
I just remembered another great addition to a tool storage ...... Lavels where you might have a screw or nail all by its self. In the past I've gone down the route of painting the board and marking round the tool, as well as tags on string hanging from the nails, but at the end of the day it boils down to one thing....... remembered what the missing item is!! I've done jobs that end up with tools in multiple locations as well as being in temporary tool boxes...... I've also had a wife "borrow" a tool and it just vanishes. With some sort of label system you will know exactly what is missing from your board straight away, which means looking for it is a LOT easier! I hope this helps someone and, as always, great job on both the build and the instructions on making and assembly 😊👍👍👍👍
Wow, I think that this is one of the most useful videos that you have produced. I'm amazed at how much stuff you got in there. Please, more of the same!
Basically a toolbox on the wall. Efficient, effective and it looks great. I think plans - in a general format with out the specifics of where tools go - would server you and your base well. Looking forward to future videos!
This was frikkin' AWESOME! I cannot fathom how much knowledge you have accumulated over the years to make this project's process look so casual but you have my utmost respect from the UK! Every aspect of this construction looked perfect. All I need now is a garage lol. Got a new sub : ]
Thats a really smart build! Looking forward to the upcoming videos! I am currently trying to organize my own single car garage workshop so your timing is perfect :D
Happy to announce that the plans are now available. You can support my channel by getting the detailed 51-page plan on my plans website! STL file for the bearing holder can also be downloaded for free on the product page. thewoodworkersplans.com/product/ultimate-diy-tool-storage-for-small-workshops-plans/
wish you would add a video how you did your placement of tools on each area. I have already purchased your plans. It is well thought out and executed so well. thanks
Great idea and design as always. Your videos are always inspirational. A tool holders video would be great. Seeing how another mind approaches a problem would be a amazing
Yeah, a tool holder "how to" would be good. Whenever I've tried to make any tool holders they are so bad that honestly, I would just be better off throwing everything in a bucket.
That is a very neat project. For some time I'm planning something like that for my garage but, frame wise, much easier and on larger scale. I already have some sliding shelves in my garage and for lubrication, I used an ancient method that still in use today in some industries, which is wax. I would use a metal strip under the bearings because soon, with the weight of the tools, you will have a groove where the bearings run.
I like the idea of the metal strip under the bearings. I also always use wax to lubricate on wood but I've found an even better option.... Butchers block wax! It's a combination of Bees wax and Mineral oil which goes on easy, especially in a narrow groove like that.
I like the new tool storage but wonder if moving the panels will 'get old' in time. Absolutely want to see a video on making the tool holders. That was one of my favorites parts of your french cleat wall. Had you considered having the bottom door open to horizontally flat so that it can be used as a "staging table" when adding/removing tools? Are you giving up on your french cleat system? So glad you are back on creative workshop projects!
I worry about that. BUT, if you are limit on space, like I am, This make a load of sense keeping things where you can find them, vers hunt for them. As of now I have a similar working area and all the tools he hung are my go to and are stored all over. This would keep them right where I can get them quick AND have a home for them in the future to GET them quick. It definitely has a home in many peoples lives. Not all, but many.
Cricky that is some effort to save some space! I need to do something like this however I wouldnt have the patience for the individual sliding panels. I think I would just have a single rear panel and 4 narrow vertical hinged leaves that can have tools on both sides. Great idea and its got me thinking!
Great Video You truly do a great job of explaining and demonstrating every step. As a guy who often needs extra detail and written plans, I am so happy to see how easily you broke this down. Thank You. Just love the cabinet also.
One of the comments below was to leave off the doors to get quicker access to the tools. Maybe add more tools to the outside of the doors for even more storage. 🤪 I like it as it is personally. Well done.
Great design as always. Thank you for sharing. I'm also impressed that you have all that weight in there and it's held up with only 2 plastic concrete anchors on a cleat.
I love the style of your videos. It's a mix of woodworking ASMR and well-narrated cuts. Keep up the great work, looking forward to more of the shop rebuild!
Too many videos are titled "ultimate" when they're not really but your design is quite clever. You solved some of the potential weak points such as the rollers brilliantly. I may not use your exact design but it does sparks some ideas for my small shop. Thanks for the inspriation!
Hello! I just discovered your channel this morning while searching for clever storage solutions in my small space. I appreciate all the great ideas and easy to follow instructions you provide. I subscribed instantly, and I’m happy to see you’ve uploaded another video today!
Very clever! An excellent and a very efficient use of space. All of us with small work shops can relate to the need for this efficiency. Thank you for two reasons 1) using very utilitarian wood and 2) your detailed step by step walk through. I'll probably check back for the plans on this.
Way to work on the fly. I can imagine that the final outcome was far different from the original concept. I was glad to see you discovered the original deficiency of the panels but then capitalized on the opportunity that the problem presented. Thanks for the inspiration. I have a space available similar to yours that can help me better utilize the rest of the workshop by bringing those tools into the cabinet. I may use a bifold French door so that I can go a layer deeper. Appreciate the inspiration.
Like everything you make the doors are awesome. I think I’d prefer no doors to get and see tools easier. Looks amazing and maybe if it’s not in a shop space the doors make it look clean and organized. In a shop I’d be hanging stuff on the top sides and bottom of the case. The additional surface area gained by using dimensions off the wall are great.
Simply awesome. I would definitely buy the plans for this project. And a video on the tool holders would be great as well. Love your ideas and your videos. Can't wait for the all-in-one bench 2.0
It is an interesting idea. I really like how the 3d printed parts looked even if no one will ever see them. I like how everything gets shut away so when you are using the shop hopefully it helps cut down on the dust. With all that said, I'm one of those people who can't find anything unless its in plain sight so this would likely drive me nuts.
You got a good 👍 point on that. It's like having everything in a black box or a drawer. It will be hard to find, only if you have like a plan or list telling the location of each tool.

My favorite part of your videos is how you explain your thinking process, and go over why you made the decisions that you did.

Nice spam. Did you edit it in after getting a bunch of thumbs up?
This was more satisfying than a fridge restock video

I’d buy these plans in an instant! This is a great solution for my single-car garage shop!
The big "aha" moment for me was when I saw how you incorporated the bearings WITH the slots you cut.... Genius. Thanks for the build video!

One of the best ideas, execution of idea and originality for a workshop on RUclips 😁 well done
Well Done!
Thats just awesome! the swing out door for the extra space is a great idea too
This would be great for my sewing room. I spend a fair amount of time digging around for small tools.
Always a good day when I get a woodshop junkies notification!
Friggin brilliant
I am not handy by any stretch of the imagination but you can see when something is well thought out. 👏This is awesome
Brilliant design so compact with great access plans would be much appreciated and thanks so much for this ride your taking us on it’s always well edited and interesting to watch
That's a great storage solution liked the addition of all the 3d printed parts for storage
clever idea
That's the best storasge unit i've seen so far. Well done. So much into such a small space. Necessity breeds invention.
This is one of your best projects. I am always impressed with how effective your designs are. I also have a small shop. I really appreciate your approach, thoughtfulness and engineering. Well done
Really great idea to make multi-layer shallow cabinets to put all kinds of tools!
This is great way to store and care for one's tools . Everything stored , cared for and it takes up only a tiny space and no floor space is used up by a trolley . Wel done !!! And very motivating .
Just a suggestion to what you did.
I would have put the aluminium guides on the back for aesthetic reasons as I'm an architect. The other suggestion would be to make the upper guide slot deeper so you can remove the panels. You may well have done that though so if you did, good thinking.

An original design,well thought out. Now go make some bearing holders ,everyone is going to want some.cheers.🇨🇦
I saw a clip of this storage unit on Pinterest. I fell in love with it! Now to find the full video, I'm looking forward to building this.
Clever dude. :)
I would love a set of plans. Looks great!
looks brilliant, congrats.
Good job, Jean!
holy crap. that ended up holding alot more than I expected. I need this for my office/bike workshop
As always your ideas are simple enough for the beginner to tackle and very effective for small spaces. Looking forward to your next one in the series.
Just came across your channel. This is an excellent design and it's a bonus that you are South African!
Wow, Brilliant, Amazing, Stupendous, First Class. I'd love to get some plans please, this is just what I'm looking for.

Dealing with the same issues but horizontally, in lab bench drawers. You've done a good job at addressing access.
Lovely project idea and execution.

That is such a clever design for effective use of available space. I do so enjoy watching your videos - you are always so creative.
Absolutely mint 👍👍 What a great design and build!
Wonderful idea, going to make one or three for my hand tools and trash the 15 toolboxes filling the storage wall of my tiny shop.
That is the best tool cabinet I've seen! Keep up the good work!
How this has 56k views and not 56k likes is beyond me. What an awesome build! Thank you for sharing.
I would greatly appreciate the plans for this! I think you're brilliant!!

Ditto what's already been said about your ingenuity and thoughtful filming/editing. Just bought the plans. Thanks! And keep up the great work
That is not amazing, not awesome, not good job… but that’s simply PERFECT. No much no less… just PERFECT!
I love it
Hello from Sicily
Brilliant design Jean! Excellently planned and executed. The perfect tool store option for a single garage!
Great video. Very clever design.

Great idea and job!
The upper door helping with storage was a surprise. Great use of space. tHanks for the video
It certainly was a success, excellent design, I have seen quite a few of these storage cabinets, and I have to agree, it is The Ultimate - Thank you
good job
That is a brilliant storage cabinet.

608 bearings are cheap and widely available in the US as they are the worldwide standard for inline skates
One of the comments below was to leave off the doors to get quicker access to the tools. Maybe add more tools to the outside of the doors for even more storage. 🤪 I like it as it is personally. Well done.
All I can say is WOW! This is amazing!

Indeed your thinking and explanation are first class, love to have your plans for my clattered workshop. Brilliant
Video about tool holders, please!
Great work!

Love to see plans for this project!!
Fabulous project ! .... was a pleasure to watch, thank you.
Plans would be amazing, that storage unit is amazing!!!
Maybe building some drop leaf hinges to the doors adding gives you a workplace surface to use

Very clever design for maximisation of precious space. Nice straight-forward build too - well it is now you've done all the thinking for us! Thanks.
Yes, please, I also will buy plans as soon as they are available.
Nice idead. I hope you added some holes (opening) in those slots so dust and garabge can fall out. 🙂
Great project 👍.
Great job Jean, love it, putting my hand up for the tool holder video please.
