  • Adam's stand on storage drawers is that they're where tools go to get lost. To keep his essential workshop tools easily accessible, he built these custom stands as a solution for organizing all of his hand tools. Adam explains the design of these stands and shows off some of the more esoteric tools they keep within reach.

    The tool/organization nerd in my loved this video.
    I've gone from toolboxes to pegboard in the last few years...gotta love having everything visible at all times.
    I also apply the 'One Layer' rule to my garage and keep everything in a place where it is visible/accessible at all times.

    I first heard Adam mention first order retrievability a few years ago, and it has stuck with me ever since. It makes working on something soo much faster, and you don't hesitate on starting a new project because you don't have to dread spending a lot of time digging up all the tools you need. More videos like this please.

    I like how Adam's made this amazingly well thought through Christmas tree of tools where everything is categorized perfectly and easily accessible, then shows a plastic fork amongst it...

    • @RobKohr
      @RobKohr 3 года назад +1

      I'd bet that disposable plastic forks are used often by him. It is great to have a tool to get in and pick at something that will get gummed up and ruined that you can then throw away.

    Hey Adam, I love the tool shelf vice drawers! Drawers have always been an issue for me. One tip: If you store your sharpies point-side down instead of point-side up like you have them, they will last much longer. Just spray paint the other ends so you know what color they are.

    At 10:16, not a brayer but a j-roller.
    A brayer is used to apply ink to printing plates (think linoleum prints). A J-roller is used to adhere formica to its substrate. The extra long handle is so you can use it two-handed and get some real leverage. That's also why the roller width is half that of a brayer.

    You should spray glue sandpaper to the wood frame .

    So you always have a quick flat sanding block handy .
    Just a suggestion .

    I like his design a lot. One thing I did notice, however is that it was a bit wobbly. I think some gussets in the corners would stiffen it up a bit. Not that it's meant to be manhandled but just in case it tried to roll over something that stopped the wheel(s) it'd be a shame to tweak it beyond it's stress point and have it break apart. Well done, Adam!

    Adam, you can also mount your drills and other power tools this way. I will share a picture of it and edit this post of the way I did it.
    It saves me so much time especially when I need to clean up after a project!
    Here is one last thing I absolutely love to do.
    I bought a lot of super strong neodymium magnets, and I use them to mount some of my smaller screwdriver, and nut driver bits that I often use. You could do this along the side, or back of your tool cart by cyano gluing the magnets to the wood.

    I have a small 8000 sq foot shop and we found the same thing. Drawers are a place for employees to hide sins...What we found was by assigning and color coding (spray painting) sets of tools in open racks it brings organization and accountability to specific departments. Now...with one look I can see if my tools are being looked after and being kept track of. I can also see what departments are stealing tools in both good and bad senses of the word. The biggest advantage is that the tool are at arms length...even a new employee can find what he needs. The only thing we do different is we can roll the tool assemblies into enclosures that have doors so at the end of every day everything goes back in place and the area is easy to keep clean...satisfies my neat freak. Also gives us more work space for large projects

    This reminds me of something I built, just a few days ago. My dust collection consisted of a shopvac and a separate collector, both on casters. I built a rolling "tower", with the vac at the top, and the collector at the bottom, but then I started adding... stuff. It actually looks a bit like your plier rack, in a way. I call it my "Turbo Tower of Power".

    if Adam makes another stand much like his "Pliers" stand, i REALLY would like to see that as a "one day build". i would love to be able to make something like this. i might not use it for pliers but in a shop (both automechanic and woodworking) it would be very useful. if not just for open, convenient storage, making a roll-around for "in progress" jobs, rather than digging through the tool cluttered cart for that ONE screwdriver you had 15 minutes ago.

    Those "handheld metal brake" pliers are readily available at Harbor Freight in the Welding section. And the sizes of CA glue he says are hard to find are really easy to find at a well-equipped, dedicated hobby or R/C shop. Us balsa-gluers go through the stuff like nobodies business (foam-safe CA too!)
    ps- for those looking for the CA-glue "kicker", it's often referred to as "Accelerator" or "insta-Set". Wanna make a quick holder that does a similar job if you have a mechanic's tool service cart? Buy 1"x1" aluminum square tubing and drill holes through it of various sizes for any and all things (great for organizing ratchet extensions and screwdrivers).

    I am the exact opposite. I have gone from open tool storage (peg boards, rail racks, magnetic strips, etc) back to drawers. I have a much higher storage density with a higher degree of organization. Plus it keeps my tools clean when not in use.
    Of course part of this also comes from the fact that I spend about six months out of each year working on site in one of three conditions: 1) Fly in job where everything has to come with me on the plane, 2) Drive to job where depending on the size of the project I have either my SUV, SUV & trailer or a truck, 3) European projects where I fly with a few custom tools (you have to love Pelican cases) and stop in London to pick up the job boxes I have stored there.
    Needless to say none of these work conditions are in anyway conducive to rolling carts and open store tool systems. One of the mobile transport systems that I really love right now is the Rigid 22in Pro cases from Home Depot. These boxes are solid as a rock, stack & lock together and are water tight when closed.

    • @deezynar
      @deezynar 7 лет назад

      Your situation is completely different than Adam's, so it's natural that your tool storage solution would be different. What you have now makes sense for your current needs, and it is great that you are happy with it. The advantages you list for your system are accurate, however, you leave out the disadvantage. You sacrifice the ability to grab any tool at any time, costing you speed. And it means you are putting tools down somewhere other than their designated storage place. That's a recipe for creating a messy work environment, and possibly losing a tool. Cases can be made to be hung on a rack while open, allowing instant access. Cases with the tools you use less often can be stored on the back side. The cart can be made to fold for travel. It's wheeled base will help you move your heavy tools around airports.

    • @chrisose
      @chrisose 7 лет назад

      Just because I have a mobile tool setup does not mean it is unorganized or messy.
      Case in point: I have one case that holds my 20v impact, 20v hammer drill, 20v charger, hole saw kit, 40pc HS drill set, 10pc masonry bit set, impact rated driver bits (standard through security), stepper bits, tap set with cutting oil and a few custom rotary tools I have created. (NOTE: the saws, drills and driver bits are all in bespoke cases within the main case for organization)
      While this kit does not specifically meet Adams F-O-R standard it does contain within a standard size box (the previously mentioned Rigid system) everything needed to make holes and attach fasteners in most materials.
      There is also the point that on job sites you seldom work directly from your transport cases but rather from small task bags or tool belts. You aren't sitting a pristine workbench with your cup of coffee, you are climbing ladders, working from lifts, trudging through mud and in general having to deal with whatever conditions the site delivers. You carry only the tools needed for each specific task.
      You also seldom have a "shop" area on a job site where you can run open, unsecured tool systems. Those who do not keep there tools locked up an a job are typically the ones having to borrow yours because theirs were stolen.
      Yes, Adam's situation is different from mine. He basically has a big box of toys in his own private playground and I have to make a living with my tools where ever the job takes me.

    • @deezynar
      @deezynar 7 лет назад

      Re-read my comment. I never said your system was unorganized, or messy. I said you waste time with it. However, if you only work from tool belts, that's a different thing entirely. Feel free to insult people who work in shops, if that makes you feel superior.

    • @chrisose
      @chrisose 7 лет назад

      You wrote: "You sacrifice the ability to grab any tool at any time, costing you speed. And it means you are putting tools down somewhere other than their designated storage place.That's a recipe for creating a messy work environment..."
      This is insinuating that my system is unorganized and therefore messy.
      If you can sit in one location and have all of your tools within immediate reach then you really don't have that many tools. And if you have the discipline to have an organized shop tool system then you have the discipline to have an organized mobile tool solution. Yes, things can get messy on job sites but that is why I work small task groups then return to my tool area to reset for the next set of tasks.
      It was not an insult but an opinion built over 40 years about the difference in work techniques and methodologies between those who only work in there own shops and those who have to work in a wide variety of environments and situations. I have worked with many people who were great craftsmen in their own spaces but couldn't cut it in the field because they couldn't adapt their fixed shop routines.

With drawers, they can only hold so much before they won't shut but that top compartment become a mountain of hand tools so the lid won't close and then it gets bad enough the tools start filling off the pile on to the floor. Lol. I will definitely be considering a tool cart like this for the shop.

Also, buy cheap bolt cutters and grinder the jaws into whatever esoteric bank breaking tool you need, like a crimper. They all will either sink some day or rust up anyways and making new tools periodically makes the job more fun.
