I think the hallway of 1.2m is a good size, also allows you to put stuff down around you as you pull out the drawers. Thanks for going into the details of your build, looks like an awesome idea for the size and space you have...
I will say it again. You are the most organised person I have ever come across so any suggestions I could have made on the last video would have been pointless. My only suggestion for the very top section is to not have a drawer, but have an opening flap like the storage bins on an aeroplane. A drawer at the very top will be too difficult to see and reach into.
It was funny you should suggest that, I have actually thought about the exact same thing 😊 Would think it's a good idea then, since we booth thought about it 😁
@@juststeve5542 The top most shelf will not be very deep, I think maybe just a fixed shelf is good enough as it will be easy to see what's on it. I will probably need boxes inside some of the drawers to organize smaller content, that could work inside a top compartment with a flip up door as well
I hope so too 🤞 although it's not directly related to my motorcycle projects, it is very relevant: having an efficient storage solution makes my motorcycle projects progress faster as well 😊
Its actually about 2x4” at first, before its dried and planed. After drying to about 15-20% moisture and then getting planed it ends up being 45x95mm. At least in Sweden :)
hahaha... when you say okay!!?? With the door is to high. This reminds me of the two good neighbors 🤣 end up with a saloon swing door in the end 🤣👏🏻 They actually stopped calling it 2x4 a long time ago. They only operate around mm measures and has done it for at least 10 year or more. Looong time since you did woodwork? 🤪 I think this is just a matter of speech that is hard to stop. Great work mr.Hestad. Looking forward to the next one.
Haha, we oldtimers still call it "2-tom-4-tom" ("tom" is short for "tomme" = "inch" in Norwegian) - al least we do around here where I live, we all know its 48x98 but 2x4 is just so much easier to say 😊
@@kihestad Here in UK everyone I know still uses the old 2 by 4 name. Same with 6 by 2 and the other common sizes. So many construction dimensions were originally defined in inches, they look silly in metric.
@@kihestad yes, in the UK it is often called one or the other, or a mix. To add to that, 2x4 is a fairly lax dimension, and it is often a pre finished dimension, so once planed down it is smaller (probably why your 48mm for 2" - when 2" is 50.8mm)
Great video, staggeringly project! Do you really need that much high-in-the-building storage? I know it would annoy your OCD spirit, but I would mass-produce the drawers, sized for the smallest opening, and I think most would not notice 10mm discrepancy between largest and smallest gaps (who but you would see it anyway?). If it really did upset you, you could design the drawer-fronts to hide the gaps. Anyway, watching with interest! Les 🇬🇧
Thanks 😊 The problem will be attaching the drawer slides to the frame. I think the width of the drawers plus width of the drawer slides on each side must match the width of the available space in between the framework. I could compensate by adding thin spacers to adjust the width, perhaps it's a bit less work.

Thank You! 😎
My pleasure! 😊

That is true, especially for the trollies a bit of floor space is probably smart 😊

@@kihestad make it a slide in tray you can completely move.
A bin will just end up collecting things at the back you can't reach!

catching up with your channel haha I'm glad we have a new and different project! hope motorbikes fans won't go away 🍀

It is mainly the planing stage. You can buy rough sawn 50x100mm, or planed 44x95mm.
Alright, I did not know that 😊
Learning something new every day 🙏

@ ah! Of course! I’d forgotten the drawer-slides. Just my daft comment.. forgive me! Les
@@leslieaustin151 hehe, np - you gave me actually a good idea about making the fronts hiding the gaps 💡
@@kihestadyou can instead make different thickness spacers between the slides and the frame to adjust the difference
If you have to store stuff in your attic....you have to much stuff!!
You are absolutely right 😞😅
