"It's tall enough that I can play as well"
The truth comes out....
Great work as always sir!
I have more LEGO sets than they do. I also do a podcast where I build LEGO sets. It isn't really a secret. I want one just for myself.
Nice to know bob.(:
Beat me to it! HAHAHA! Bob really made it for him to play, lol! (I know I would)
@@Iliketomakestuff Makes me feel less weird having purchased another batch of Legos yesterday :D
Haven't seen such a podcast from you yet, have to keep an eye out for that
Personally I'm mad I had to leave a thousand dollars (in 1998 money) with of Legos behind when I left California
Doing the real world check is a must due to tolerance issues
I made 3 sets of spice racks. The first set (two) had the jars fit just fine based on their reported size
The next two sets (1 big one and 2 smaller racks) I am currently sanding the side walls because the glass jars aren’t all the same size.
I even put a small gap on each side
Double check the real world measurements match the theoretical ones from the model at each step of the build. This is especially true for things that will be stored in the final assembly. It will save you so much time and hassle
Great table. Your tutorials are fantastic. Even though I am missing many of the tools, you let the viewers know how to do it without those tools.
Also huge thumbs up for the way you do promotions and sponsors
I wouldn't want to be married to a very specific container size like this. Those totes get brittle and fall apart over time. What are the odds you would be able to go right out and buy some extras 5 years from now. The good news tho is that it wouldn't be hard to turn those "cleats" into shelves in the future.
Nice build, but would have mounted the wheels centred under rib one and three, much stronger and perfectly balanced the weights in half and stops the plywood structure from sagging in the middle.
Good call!
Or just add one in the center. But I think the box construction and light weight of the Legos makes this plenty strong already
Good use of the Grind-Discer! Lol great video
Thanks 👍
Those bloopers are always so relatable with every video I create 😂
Glad you like them!
I love the bloopers at the end of videos! They are almost my favorite part!
My son is 4 years old so I am starting to play lego with him now.
This made me excited more than it really should have. To see that much lego was mouth watering.....
This is the level of Lego that I have always wanted ever since I was a child 😂 I've got one standard Lego "bucket" overflowing with Legos but that's about it, my uncle's old Tyco lego bucket is mia at the moment otherwise I'd have that slap full too
Not gonna lie though Bob, you blindly shooting a nail upward toward your hand made me nervous for you xD
It's the best toy
Obligatory: Tyco is not Lego.
Also obligatory: You can always buy more Lego! :) Every brick is compatible with every brick since the brick was made.
I'm in love with your work space
This dude has to be the best dad in the whole world.
9:38 I was so triggerd by that missing screw for that wheel. Who else saw it and got a heart attack?
Outtakes compilation would be awesome
Hey Bob, amazing build! Just wanted to point out that at 9:12 the wheel closest to you only has three bolts put in. Maybe you figured this out later or during editing, but just wanted to make sure you didn’t mess up anything. I look forward to the next video!
I was looking at that too!
Same here. Could not unsee it afterwards... XD
Me too! I need to know!!
Those are the best LEGO storage boxes. My whole LEGO storage system is based off the shallow Sterilite bins, and I have 10s of thousands of LEGO. I mainly love how shallow they are so I don't have trouble finding a brick at the bottom of a bin.
I have plans to convert a bedroom into a LEGO/crafts room at some point in the (hopefully) near future. I'm saving this little bit of inspiration away for either a.) a version built onto a wall, b.) inserts into a set of metal shelves, c.) a central rolling table, or d.) ALL OF THE ABOVE!
This is really cool! Nice video!
Thanks a lot!
This looks awesome
You are the first. Great job.
@@Iliketomakestuff thank you
I love the shirt dude, great Bill & Ted reference!
Ok, this is the best way to do your sponsor ad, with B-roll playing in the background. As someone with ADHD, sponsor ads are always frustrating, but with the B-roll in the background, I'm able to keep my focus on the video without being annoyed.
I was thinking the same thing. It makes so much sense to do your ad read over part of the build montage.
I agree with you that pocket holes are mostly useful
Excellent build. Thank you
My Dad would have loved your channel, I know I do ! Thanks for sharing this insightful video. I noticed that your cleat system allows for larger totes to fill two or more slots. Great design. Wishing you and your family a great week. Cheers
So good Bob and co! Consistently fun and entertaining content! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Nice video. I'm gonna add it to the "I tell myself I'll make it someday but I never will" playlist
Me just seeing the rock wall in the background and the "soft landing" they'll have if they fall
0:21
My mom found a picture of the original lego storage sorter you mentioned in the last video 🤣
14:40 : "PIVOT!!!!"
Very cool table Bob!
After watching this on my birthday as well as my daughters birthday today.
I will be stopping by your online shop so see how much these build plans are!
Hope to see more tables and organizer builds lime this!
Perfect upgrade. Love the addition of the sorter and storage space.
Such a fun project!! Love the design - awesome work!
Awesome idea and execution! Well done!
Ty for this
Nailed it!
I’m watching this more than once cause o love this idea.
Thank you so much! There are some easy to follow plans in the description.
Part of me wishes you were making this out of legos 😂. Great work on this project!
Oh man, that would take forever and take up a lot of bricks
@@Iliketomakestuff can you at least attempt a version of this made out of Lego?
Also, this video made me subscribe!
Pop out wheels would be a great addition to have a steady stand when building on the table. Great work !
Love the classic space inlay!
Thats amazing, the sort modul at the side for clean up is such a brilliant addition... :D
I feel like this video is calling me out for having all of my bricks in two massive storage tubs. I guess I'll have to build something like this over the weekend, bummer! (Sarcasm - this actually motivated me to build a better organization system for my stuff)
Although I've seen lots of your videos I love that you pop in links when using kit you made (ie mitre saw station). Very cool and kind
That's a lot of plywood to cut. It's a weird flex, but i'll allow it. :)
Man, I want to know what glorious mouth sounds we were deprived of at 5:47.
Something like a wet "PTPTPTPTPTP," I assume. Adding sound effects are important for a stable glue up.
Always interesting. An add-on, space the boxes with the lid on the box. Don’t want to be too tight. Well done guys.
Using poly before an epoxy pour is a brilliant way to prevent bubbles! I’ll be using that method from now on! Thanks!
Great project as always. I need a version of this to deal with all of the old kiwi co project pieces laying around the house!
Nice work, so cool
This is legit an amazing work table! I'd love this! Thanks for the wicked video as always!
Glad you like it! There are plans available in the description
Such a great build!!!
Great project
Nicely done, cool that Josh's family can now use the previous table.
I finally figured out why I can't stand pocketholes. The whole load (especially horizontal force) on the screwjoint is put on that little bit of wood between the head of the screw and the thing you are screwing to.
great build and love hearing ELFL at the end!
Nice work! I’ll be making a similar one in the future. Very inspirational
9:40 The caster nearest you is missing a bolt. My OCD has been triggered! Lol
This is an excellent video! A great storage solution! God bless you and yours!
Now make one that sorts by colour, that would be impressive.
I love this idea! I just went to Lego land in Texas and I'm all for this now!!
"anudder peeth of half incth pliwud" I love you guys. lol. nice build.
I remember when he built that old table The nostalgia..
I remember as well
It is now in Josh's son's room. He loves it. It is still pretty awesome, we just outgrew it.
I love your videos!
I see what you mean about all the repetitive cutting. I made a chest with 96 individual drawers, 6 wood parts per drawer plus the case, so hundreds of pieces to make. It took a while, but it is the coolest small parts cabinet you have likely ever seen.
"Nailed it!". Intentional or not, it still made soda come out of my nose.
That's more useful than I'd expected.
The biggest change I'd make to it (other than making it counter-height) would be to include a folding panel on the side which you can prop up to use as a surface to sit at. That's a pretty easy modification, though, and if you can follow these plans then you already know how to add that in.
Now THATS how you do an ad! Although I don’t need it I would even watch it again didn’t feel like I was getting force fed lol
I don't know what's more impressive.... The build or how much Lego you have
In constant awe of what you can make Bob, love the quality explanations and the entire build process (including when things go wrong) - keep up the great work =D
I shall be using this design to make a combination outfeed table and Stanley box rack. Thanks to you, Adam Savage and Wesley Treat.
so usefully, for so many crafts. my CDO loves you. CDO is like OCD but more organised 😆. keep up the great work guys
That table full of legos is worth more than my car.
Electric/Automatic agitator for the lego separator next?
Nice! I have a large lego collection, and a table like that would be awesome! I'll have to think about building something similar.
Initial thought that spacer piece was for leaving a small gap in the bottom panel to allow loose bricks to fall through and not get stuck behind the bottom drawer
Great build! I really appreciate your safety warning about repetitive operations. It's easy to let your mind wander.
Oh god, the missing bolt from the left side will haunt me for all eternity..
Awesome build! You could put big lego plates on the top and have a massive area to build on. could be kinda cool too! Then you wouldn't risk stepping on them ;)
Yeah, that's what I was thinking! Big lego plates! 🤓
Would be a nice build for a shop assembly table for small parts and such. Nice build and will check into the plans for this one. Just gonna throw this out there for you. David Picciuto on Make Something has a video on a picture frame sled that would have taken all of the guess work and figuring out of making the frame for the table top. Might be a future video for you, who knows. Thanks for the great video and keep em' coming.
"Peeth of haf inth plywud" - killed me!
Fantastic work, Bob! It turned out fantastic! 😃
I may build something like that later as well!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
That miter challenge would have messed with my brain for a good long while. The issue was so simple and so easily missed. This table is great.
Love it. Would definitely love to see you build an actual lego set, like the Titanic one is out soon. Or maybe Millennium Falcon.
Looks good 👍
Thanks 👍
I’d use this as a snake rack! Great build!
fishing lure storage!
Not gonna lie this is a really good design, I might try making something similar for all the Gundam model kits I have backlogged.
7:36 💥!
Great video, love what you have made. 1 suggestion, make the top bigger to allow people to site around with their legs under the top. I think this would be a lot more comfortable. Just a thought. Keep up the great work.
Years ago I used this exact system for my hubs closet.
I made the plastic containers shallow, so they never got too full, or heavy.
But alas...
Over time it was a fail.
The plastic containers sorta collapsed in the center side walls.
Which simply meant the sides no longer ran across the cleats.
Meaning the plastic container just fell thru.
I suppose it could have been user error.
I really had used shallow containers to prevent weight inside the bins.
So, maybe his socks grew heavier over time?
hahaha, I dunno... 😆
But eventually he had destroyed the whole system.
Maybe the strength of the plastic just caved over time?
Legos should not be as heavy as socks (I guess) so let's hope this stays usable for a long time!
At least now you know in which buckets he stores his loads of cash and gold bars! :D
@@FelipeSQ04 ha! Right!
He just THINKS I didn't look there!
Good build though I would have had the boarder go around the lego sorter as well so you can easily push the bricks into it
All lego tables must be tall enough for parents to play as well! Looks fantastic!
I made it simple for myself - bought 10 half-high Billy shelves and put wheels underneath.
Each takes 12 10l-boxes of lego. That takes care of nearly half of my loose bricks and the rest is in bigger bins.
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
I might have to build this, or something similar.
There are plans available in the description
adding splines to the corners would be a nice added feature for aesthetics/sturdiness and stability of the corners possibly getting bumped during play time.
I was thinking splines, or dowels, because I avoid using pocket holes.
Hello! Love your videos even though I don’t have a shred of maker’s talent in me. 😁
One topic I want to suggest for your future episodes is a collection of real-life mishaps in your shop. It’s one thing to provide safety tips on handling power tools, etc, but I think it’ll drive the point about safety more if you showed actual examples. Something like, here’s the time I cut my finger on the table saw because I didn’t do this. Or that other time I dropped a hammer on my foot because I forgot to do such and such.
Hope you can consider, but in all honesty, I’m gonna watch anything you put out anyway. 😁 Keep them awesome videos coming!
Watch Bob and Cheff John's videos on a weekly basis made my head auto complete: "around the outside, around the outside, around the outside" EVERY SINGLE TIME he said it..... 😂
I'm down for Bob to do Chef Joh style puns!
I’d love to get a 1 year update - does it still work for the family? Our Lego area is never big enough.
Only thing I would do differently is the Lego plates on top like you did on the original table. Otherwise great build!
This would also make a great table for board games and tabletop RPGs, and you could easily make shelves to ride on those cleats for anything that doesn't store easily in a bin.
I haven't watched the entire video yet, so you may have already answered my question. What is the height with the casters? I'm seeing this as a potential outfeed/workbench for the shop (with lots of organization that I would probably never use. :) ).
Neat.
I need this. and more Lego. all the Lego.
11:36 I'm not a professional Bob, I just play one on RUclips. Lol.
Great table with a ton of storage.
just when I was thinking my LEGO stuff needed some reorganizing
