Yeah I want really expecting to get all choked up and teary eyed from how sweet you and your daughter are together, so thanks for that! 😂 Also really clever design, thanks for sharing!
I worked for Chris and Rudy at Kabuki and trained there before I moved out of the area, and I used your plans when I built my first dining table and bookshelf, they were super helpful for me in my training journey and you have been super helpful in my woodworking journey, awesome seeing this!
That extra 2in gives you the opportunity to get up on the balls of your feet and work the Cavs more what a gift from our mistakes sometimes. Truly love this project I was already subscribed beforehand now I just freaking ring the bell
Great build and I love that you left the mistake in. It's hard sometimes for new woodworkers because they think that long timers get it right first time every time. Your daughter has grown up loads! It's great to se her in the shop & helping her daddy! As for the wheels, next time you want castors, order the same ones but with the non swivel wheels & swap them over.
It happens to all of us mistakes will happen What you should do is put another bar down t where your 45lb go and but your 35lb on the back side. Just like the top! If you are afraid of your weights falling over just put on spring clamp that you would use when lifting weights. ( Barbell collars )
I've been looking for a plate storage project because I picked up some plates from Kabuki a couple days ago...woke up this morning & saw your notification! Thanks!
And here I thought I was the only one that screwed up. Nice compact design. Good to see you working with your daughter! You can see you make a great dad! Father’s Day brings a whole new meaning to life, doesn’t it?
Great video. It's good to know even pros like you make mistakes and aren't afraid to show them. Glad you were able to fix without having to rebuild the whole thing. "Stand on something, the story of my life." I hear ya I'm 5' 5" and can totally relate.
Those Kabuki 45s have a bevel towards the interior face so you could place them facing the inside of the cart so they lean in. That's a serious trap bar for a home gym, well done
I literally have the same interaction with my daughter in the shop. " Ok, thank you! Big hugs! Love You!" but you clearly edited out the "now scram and go bother mommy" 😂 I seriously do love the time I spend with my daughters in the shop, but at some point you just run out of stuff for the “helpers” to do.
Nice project.... AND shop assistant! :) You had better luck out of that glue on MDF than I've had. I eventually had to pull a Heisz and start using Liquid Nail on MDF, especially when gluing edges. Lastly, if you're going with a step, how about making one attached with hinges, and flip it up into a magnetic catch on the front side for storage, flip it down to stand on it? If the casters are, say, 6 1/2" tall from the floor to the cart, then a couple slabs of 3/4" MDF, reinforced around the edge and internally with 2x4" 'beams', one flat and one on edge (or replace the flat one with upper and lower 3/4" 'caps' to make 'I-beams').
Thanks for the video. I think I'd like to adapt it for our needs. For one, it will need to be smaller cos of the space we have available in our apartment, and ideally, I'd like to be able to hold our plates, dumbbells and a kettlebell. I don't know if it's feasible, but thanks to your design, I have something to start work with.
As someone who is subscribed to both fitness and woodworking channels I was genuinely confused when I saw the thumbnail of the Kabuki Strength picture on the wall.
You can lock those swiveling casters into fixed casters gluing/screwing a block of wood butted up against side of the caster. An alternative fix for the 45s is to drill 2 holes on the front and back side pieces and stretch a bungee cord across the plates to keep the plates in.
Great video! So cool to she you teaching your daughter and thanks for sharing the screw up with us. Makes me feel better when I do it on every project also lol
When you realized the sides are swapped, I thought you would have redrilled the holes for the pipes. Wouldn't It be easier than risking how the MDF separation works?
Don't think of things as mistakes, they're just opportunities to practice problem solving...... at least that's what I'm trying to do LOL Re your platforms:- - With the large plaits, can you just add a clamp to gold them in place so that you don't end up with the diagonal piece of wood? - the hight issue could be solved by removing the top and cutting a bit off the upright sections. You could then do something where you can stack up wood so that each person using it can customise the hight. - lastly, the wheels.... if you put the locking caster wheels on diagonal corners you might find that the unit is more stable Thanks for another great video 👍
I had the same problem that you have with the 45s on an old trolley that I made. I fixed it by putting a cleat on the floor at the back of the stack to force the plates to always have a slight backwards lean and this worked fine. However mine were round edge so they were happy leaning, I don't think this would work with your plates unless you added an angled floor aswell.
I’m curious why you chose MDF? I’m not opposed to mdf, I use it for some things, but given you used screws to joinery I was watching it and super curious why you didn’t use plywood?
As someone who's only built with plywood and OSB panels, how is the strength of mdf for an application like this? I had the impression that OSB was weaker than plywood, and mdf was weaker than OSB (but is very flat). Is this not the case? Or is it only an issue if the mdf gets wet?
My suggestion is to research MDF a bit more and maybe buy a sheet for experiment. MDF is pretty darn strong. The edges are the weak point. Of course, not the right material for every application but in situations like this the material isn't a huge concern.
every time I mill MDF on the CNC machine, the static from the dust sparks and kills the machine, so I have to start the program over. Do you deal with this or is it just my machine?
Probably your hose. Some hoses are self grounding to dissipate static. For a smaller setup an easy solution would be to wrap the hose in bare copper wore and ground it shortly after the machine.
what screws did you use on the MDF? once the price of materials comes down to realistic again I am looking to build either a 4' by 8' or an 8' by 8' workbench/table saw table and I am thinking of using 3/4" MDF for the carcass.
If you need a cart which can store ten 45 lbs plates because of your neighbors are working out at your home gym, who are you living next to? Matt Fraser on one side and the entire Panchik family on the other side?
Short answer: it allows you to bring the center of gravity completely back and in line with your feet instead of the bar always being out in front of you. Oh and allows for lunge type of motions
@@TheRPhelps24 Thanks, I'm not into weight training. I'm currently trying to lose weight and get back into shape at the age of 48, its hard! Maybe once I'm able to climb a set of stairs without oxygen I'll look into toning up lol
great build. we all make mistakes sometimes. it will just make you better. also... I have to stop watching your videos... you make me want to get a cnc. my wife will not be happy with me lol
Okay your daughter is the cutest...love the rubber boots. Oh yeah, nice build too btw lol.
Easy project when you have a capable assistant. 👍😃
Her absolute joy helping... the laugh says it all.

This is a great project. Glad to see that I am not the only one with weights in the wood shop. That is not being used for glue ups.

You're daughter is adorable! I love every chance I can get the kiddos in the shop. Memories for a lifetime.

So awesome having the little helper, such a cutie
Omg that giggle when she got to pull the nail gun trigger was ridiculously adorable 😆
And here I thought I was the only one that screwed up. Nice compact design. Good to see you working with your daughter! You can see you make a great dad! Father’s Day brings a whole new meaning to life, doesn’t it?
(Out of corner of eye) “don’t touch that gun.”
Funny how a change of pitch lets our kiddos know when we are serious or saying something important
Cutest helper ever
Great video. It's good to know even pros like you make mistakes and aren't afraid to show them. Glad you were able to fix without having to rebuild the whole thing.

Your shop helper is rather cute.
Hi Jay... love the interaction with your little girl. Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing your daughter get involved!
Haven’t watched your videos in a while, but you’ve lost some weight man. You look good. Love seeing you work with your kiddo too.
I would use a forklift for the sandbags. Btw: cute little angel in your workshop...
I literally have the same interaction with my daughter in the shop. " Ok, thank you! Big hugs! Love You!" but you clearly edited out the "now scram and go bother mommy" 😂 I seriously do love the time I spend with my daughters in the shop, but at some point you just run out of stuff for the “helpers” to do.
Don't feel bad that the story of your life is "stand on something." The story of mine is "watch your head." The grass is always greener.
Nice work. Great shop, too. I like the lumber storage
Nice project.... AND shop assistant! :)

Jay. I had a similar situation once with casters. The back swivel casters can be locked with a drill bit hole and screw. or jb-weld.
Those casters are awesome
As someone who is subscribed to both fitness and woodworking channels I was genuinely confused when I saw the thumbnail of the Kabuki Strength picture on the wall.
Ooo snap look who’s getting in shape while also making an awesome video. JAY BATES BABY!!
That’s a cool idea sir. Thanks

I see you're drinking the blue kool aid! GO LIONS!
4:32 so satisfying :)
she is SUCH CUTIE
Maybe just move the locking caster to oposite corners, should prevent it from moving around
Couldn't have come at a better time, I've bought a bunch of weights and want to store them on something. :)
Don't think of things as mistakes, they're just opportunities to practice problem solving...... at least that's what I'm trying to do LOL

If you ever have to change the bearing on that drum sander please make a video
Kids love shooting pneumatic nailers!
Do we ever stop loving it? 😁 😁 😁

7:00. I thought this only happened to me! I put aside projects for fear of messing up :S
Awesome! what bit are you using at 3:11? 1/2 in compression?
Why not just create a slightly inclined base to avoid the 45 lb weights from tipping over?
Thanks.
I’m curious why you chose MDF? I’m not opposed to mdf, I use it for some things, but given you used screws to joinery I was watching it and super curious why you didn’t use plywood?
Only because I had a stack of MDF in my way.

FYI the link to the plates and the bar have been flagged 'Warning: This URL has been flagged by Bitly's systems as potentially harmful."
If you need a cart which can store ten 45 lbs plates because of your neighbors are working out at your home gym, who are you living next to? Matt Fraser on one side and the entire Panchik family on the other side?
hahaha. The situation was more of I wanted a 24" square cart than I wanted capacity for 10 plates.
Kinda wanted to see how that new weight bar worked too.
Looks like the weight bar has built in suspension or shock absorbtion for when it hits the ground
@@JayBates fyi. bitly flagged that site as potentially harmful.
That's odd...Try this jayscustomcreations.com/kabuki
That looks like some kind of torture device, what is the bar for?
Short answer: it allows you to bring the center of gravity completely back and in line with your feet instead of the bar always being out in front of you.
