Thank you for Watching! Tune in next week for more videos :)

[@ThreeLetterChop]

I love when you build projects that have a purpose or solve a problem. I love watching your place come together AND I like the small builds you make to make it easier/ better for yourself too. Organizational projects are just great period.

[@Miniac]

To me, this is a classic Alex video: a wonderful mixture of building materials and methods. That being said, the reno series is also wonderful. At this point in my YT consumption, your channel is one that I trust to make entertaining content despite subject so do whatever you want! I know it'll be fun and engaging to watch.

[@300killermonkey]

Who knew Miniac would be commenting on another of my favorite channels :)

[@georgecunningham9175]

It doesn't matter whether I prefer Shop or Renovation videos - You CAN'T stop with the Renovation videos until I see you put the last spoon in a drawer or a cushion of the sofa. The series is not only very informative as well as entertaining, it is fascinating to see your design plans come to fruition and it would be TORTURE to not see the finished result........

[@stevejohnson1685]

And you owe it to your ever-patient girl friend to get the renovation done ASAP. You will both be much happier once the clutter is out of your life.

[@tonialzola]

Exactly, every single video is aweasome. So keep the hard work and post whatever you are working on

[@DerFlash001]

I'm pretty sure he just wanted to do something else other than building 24/7 for a change. And having a sponsor pay you good for a video while you burn through money while renovating is also pretty nice I believe.

[@vincepopo7497]

I like the content for the Renovation and the shop work, but what I absolutely admire is how you weave the content together, and tell a good story with this video of doing the renovation, seeing the problem, designing a solution, and implementing it, that’s a fantastic way of tying things together, beyond the project itself being very interesting

[@INSIDEHARDWARE]

I like both the home Reno and projects combining materials.

[@MikeKobb]

Definitely prefer this type of video. I don't mind a mix, but I've been missing your shop/tool/organizing projects.

[@chrisharrison111]

Definitely prefer the build videos good to see them back

[@NiksSofa]

you cannot stop doing the renovation series now! We need to see you finish it.

[@meirnarum2887]

One of the most creative craftsman on YT right here

[@SolDraconiSeptem]

Really nice concept. I would definitely move that weight so that it would be accsessible from the back. Also a locking mechanism for the drawers on one of the side would be an ideal so they would not slide out when carrying it. Then one could remove the weight without taking all of the boxes out and possibly (if the boxes aren't too heavy) carry it. Just a thought. Still a very good video and you're a such an inspiration. I really appriciate it!

[@dmonteroh]

I really like both types of content, happy to see the apartment coming along, and that you will have time to work in the shop again on other cool products. I'm sure you'll start building super cool stuff to fit in the apartment in the future, which would be awesome to see :)

[@ZeeKhar]

Yay ! Finally a video with 3D printed parts ! I like your renovation videos, but what really drive me in your channel is the 3d printed stuff and how you use them to make cool things like concrete planters, chairs, organisers etc.

[@dok3250]

Yup, don't stop with the renovation series, I'm waiting for new episodes all the time. This renovation series brings back memory when I did something similar. Finish the apartment first and then continue with small projects.

[@3DBearnicorn]

I definitely miss some of the older content style, but the build series has been a blast. I'm enjoying how your style is evolving and wouldn't want you to limit yourself only one kind of video.

[@daamayzn]

Mix of both! Build in your shop to help with your renovation, brilliant!

[@alanorourke6140]

Great to see you back in the shop The appointment construction was a great series

[@BatmanBruceWayne]

You forgot about the third option: we like both types of videos! 😍

[@Dave_1966]

Personally I’m loving the renovation series but will watch anything you post 😊👍👏😻🦧🦫🦥🦑🐳

[@Rmharnisch]

More 3d printing + woodworking please!

[@cybermunk13]

The Chappel is BACK. Love the renovation, but found the channel, in a "printer search" so thats what i like most. Keep up the GOOD work on the apartment and building of stuff.

[@dioramandiecast185]

Both renovation and project videos are very interesting

[@optic5471]

I like both kinds of videos, been enjoying learning how to tackle a major renovation, but also like shop stuff

[@AlexanderEltsyn]

I believe "The Ultimate Portable Tool Storage System" should look like combination of drawer and suitcase. You will get a good approximation by making toolcase cover detachable. This will make your life "outside" more comfortable :)

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

Love when people mix 3d printing and woodworking, such a cool project, subscribed👍

[@garciaemilio]

Welcome back to the workshop!

[@kennuimuffins2426]

Next: a tool cart organisation frame for holding multiple tool carts. And then something to manage the multiple frames.

[@MallonFilms]

Really missed these videos of sorting out a problem that you come across ! But also been liking to get to know the renovation part of you new apartment, really good job Alexandre !!

[@ShopNation]

Nice work Alex, good luck on your renovation!

[@Icev91]

It's time to change your approach with cement tile. The solution is a mechanism that prevents the opening of more than one drawer at the same time. A simple lever mechanism, I have seen it on the industrial cabinets that we use at my workplace. We work with heavy tools and if you open just two drawers the whole cabinet falls over. Love the good content from you. Keep it up!

[@micheller5087]

Oh my word. My beads. I need those boxes. I have spent more time trying to organize all my beads than I have making stuff. It’s become maddening trying to figure out a system where they can’t be spilled or mixed together. I have so many plastic fish tackle boxes. And sometimes i take some with me. Wish I had your talent

[@Lea-ww9hf]

I missed so much this kind of videos!!!

[@zeendaniels5809]

Never heard of someone with this much sorting needs... 😂👍🏼

[@tiagodeazevedo8130]

Enjoy all your work, though the renovation series is my favourite content you make atm.

[@LisaHarsh]

I just like watching what your mind comes up with.

[@Hrupix]

It's my first time on this channel and it's super satisfying to watch you !

[@mildlemon7866]

Glad you are back at the workshop! Now please get your 3D-printer running, and off you go for some new 3D-printed-and-woodworking-combination projects!

[@themekfrommars]

Those storage cases are so much better than literally the best commercial equivalent I can buy (and have bought) from Hornbach

[@bndp]

I love it! the renovation is of course a lot more fun because it's more "real life" with real problems and solutions but with your sick energies I'd watch whatever you'd shoot at me

[@spiksplinter]

a cool variation would be a locking mechanism for the drawers for if you need to transport the cart frequently.

[@Vinpinto]

Both kind of projects fun to watch

[@starplayer6323]

Both types of videos I find great with you. As long as now and then one or the other video comes, I'm happy. Your videos are just awesome and motivate me to do DIY projects myself again and again.

[@muttleydk]

Both, i want both type of videos !! :D

[@rob10856]

The weight in the back prevents tipping, but as you found is extra weight when moving the entire unit. Another solution would be to add eye bolts in the center of each drawer where you have all that extra space behind the boxes. At the midpoint of height each drawer put a hook. Like the part of a latch you would put a padlock through. Then pass a cable through all the eye bolts and hooks in a giant S pattern that repeats. Affix one end to the top drawer eye bolt and the other to the bottom drawer eye bolt. Leave enough slack to have 2 drawers open (or even just one. Now as you open too many drawers it either won’t let you or it will automatically pull in another. You can never have more than 2 (or one depending on cable length) open and this it won’t tip. No extra weight either.

[@mathisdukatz1985]

I Love the renovation series but a little building mixed in was also nice ☺️ As long as something gets build or destroyed I enjoy it I guess 😂

[@dreizehn_at1607]

What do you think about the Gritfinity System?

[@prgnify]

GriDfinity**. But yes, this is the elephant in the room, I expected Alex to at least acknowledge it - even went back to voidstarlabs' video on it to see if he replied to get his comment pinned, as is reserved, but nothing's there

[@JernD]

@@prgnify yes, same. Gridfinity has a huge userbase/community now with lots of custom bins and cool designs

[@GlassImpressions]

I prefer these videos over renovations

[@jcvantasties]

The mix of content is awesome. Showing how to use the 3D printed items in real life in the job site was the perfect mix of your current content "menu".

[@Zoteosophos]

I'm team both. Nothing is more satisfying than watching you design and make something new especially to solve a problem that will help you long term in the future. Your problem solving is inspiring, keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the finish line on the apartment!

[@Randaalcz]

As a person who is in the renovation business I like the renovation stuff. As a person who has a small workshop at home I love the building in a workshop stuff. So either way, your videos have a value and I like all of them! Keep the great work up!

[@fishman4596]

Quick thought. You could paint the lids of the individual organizers with white board high gloss paint and keep notes or map out the contents with dry erase markers that would be visible when you pulled out the drawers.

[@jrbenning]

Shop videos are my preference

[@BernhardK91]

Wohooo 🎉 Back in the workshop 😁

[@FortisNome]

i prefer the build videos like this one! what a great project

[@FrederikBe]

Really cool! You could also add wheels at the back like you have on a hand truck and a handle. Might be usefull to get up stairs or over obstacles.

[@brucehartweg4946]

Cool stuff! Love your organizers, and this is a neat addition. A couple of possible add-ons: have either thin doors that can stay against outside of cabinet, or close over drawers to keep them contained (or if you don”t want drawers, just a small strip that locks drawers closed. The other thing would be to attach the concrete counter weight to the back panel, and have the panel be able too remove into a separate piece for easier lifting.

[@chiefgeek2020]

Love the assortments, I use them in my desk drawers to stay organized. Now you need to come up with something like this that works with small parts. I have lots of containers of m2-m8 screws, nuts, and washers where the little dividers fall out and you end up with a scattered mess!

[@strictnonconformist7369]

I don’t have any youTube videos, but I do have several 3D printers, lots of shelving, lots of clutter as a result of the 3D printers in the apartment, as well as my various projects. Those include designing card and board games as well as working with electronics. I just ran across this video today, don’t remember if I’ve watched any of his past videos. But, I was searching at The Container Store and found nothing that made sense for my use-case. I’ve got a 3D-printed concept in mind that’d provide more flexibility than what he showed here (I have very limited space, I need to be more efficient) that’d be reasonably be compared to the Lego set of small organizing drawers/compartments, including making it feasible to have odd-shaped (not just rectangles, but a T, as an example) compartments. A lot of what I need to contend with for electronics are surface mount components: some are only a few mm long, and I may not have a lot of them. The sizes of boxes he’s using would be absurdly wasteful. I’m thinking I’ll get the grid down to perhaps 1 cm on center, maybe 2 cm on center, because there’s a practical minimum, as much for human ergonomics (2 cm may make more sense) for fitting fingers. If you weren’t horribly space-constrained and you had lots of Lego pieces or the money to buy them, you can absolutely make the small containers very modularly that way. The lego system isn’t about space-efficiency, though, and it’s not cheap!

[@EpicBenjo]

This is the coolest project yet! I don't even own a 3D Printer, but you can definitely know that this will be my FIRST 3D printing project!

[@deepmystic6739]

This is the only person on KZbin actually making functional and practical things with a 3d printer Love your vids

[@67comet]

Build stuff, organization stuff, design stuff, and occasionally renovate stuff. 3D printing has become accessible to many people, so ideas you use with 3D printed parts is awesome. I wish wood prices would plummet again because I've got a garage that NEEEEDS stuff to be organized and a table saw, jig saw, router, pull saw, and skill saw that are getting lonely. I've also got 4 or 5 3D printers that need more work after Christmas stuff has been printed, built, and given away.

[@AlexEhn]

Yes! More builds and less renovating!

[@JanosKehl]

To your question... I love both video styles. It's just you as a person, what is keeping me here. Great work!

[@complikaty9740]

I've never seen anything more beautiful then these organization boxes. The little boxes fitting perfectly in big boxes with the labels and the tabs and...

[@pitsnipe5559]

Nice to have a mix if shop builds and apartment renovations. Although I personally like the reno vids best. Cool project by the way.

[@jackcoats4146]

If it is taking your time, that is the projects. Normally 3d, etc, but for me, MIX IT UP.

[@JoffJk]

Love the Reno series but nice to have few videos like this sprinkled in

[@prime.flighty]

As always a cool video! I see you’ve used your systematisation system again. And in this regard, the question is: how do you feel about «Gridfinity»? And are you going to react to it somehow (whether it’s a remodelling of works, joining the community, etc.)? Thank you!

[@DeeceCraft]

I love your shop vids and practical Prints, but I'm fully invested in the Renovation series and I want to see you use the small spaces wisely with custom projects and prints that work in the apartment. Just keep on doing what youre doing, i love it.

[@jurjen83]

I just love your content. So building the apartment or building a cabinet works for me.

[@caitlyn407]

Love this! My fav are your organization content, so satisfying 😊

[@TheTranq]

And I love these videos! More so than renovation!

[@N.Naesby]

I prefer a mix of both renovation and maker stuff. Love from Copenhagen

[@JarrodBush-Creator]

Awesome project! I'll definitely be building one but with a modification. A tambour door to roll up over the drawers 👍

[@georgeswahid4663]

BOTH simply because you are AWESOME 🤩

[@mr_krog]

Alexandre, with your mill, CNC router, you should do a milled foam tool insert for some of the tools you don't use that often, could be a cool project to see foam get milled :)

[@RussellNelson]

Needs two vertical wheels on the back which contact the ground or stairs if you tip it back, so you can haul it up or down stairs. Also, you could make a fold-down pair of handles for hauling it around.

[@rodneysmith1750]

I like all of your videos and would enjoy seeing them more often...

[@madebym.e.]

Always great to watch your shop projects!👍✌

[@olestampevestergaard4746]

Hey Alex, you do you, your enthusiasm for the things you make is what keeps me coming back, I hope you finish the apartment series, but if it makes you miserable, then it probably won't be the kind of video I come here for. This was a really cool build, I am trying to organize my own workshop, and once I get a 3d printer up and running # I hope to make something similar ( I absolutely love longer videos and the apartment is so much fun)

[@thomas.alexander.]

Brilliant!!! You're a star maker!

[@lyes6033]

as a person who lives in a country where we build everything out of concrete and bricks not wood i also find your renovating videos very informative

[@Se9n.]

this is way more relatable I love this video

[@darenberk7515]

I prefer this type of content.

[@yiannimigias4024]

it would be AWESOME to see a variant of these assortment case brackets that are scaled up to create taller ones for storing larger tools such as drills, saws, etc!

[@djlambert625]

I’m excited when you post either kind of video. Great work and awesome channel

[@Leo-yh1lj]

Always loved the building video's with wood in combination with the 3D printed parts. But those renovation video's i never skip because i like those too.

[@onebeatshort]

Love the concept. I would recommend adding locking casters in the front to prevent it from rolling around as you pull out a drawer. Front locking caster are easier to reach. Additionally, I would recommend adding a drawer latch to keep the drawers from opening unexpectantly when whisking the cabinet to the next room. I live in California, so most of my drawers (and bar clamp racks) are earthquake safe using a piece of 3/8" (9.5mm) all thread with a locking nut on top (to be used as a little handle to turn the rod) and a t-nut mounted to the bottom of the cabinet. I use some flat bar with rounded edges sticking out the front (top and bottom) with a 1/2" hole for the rod. I have also used an open spot on the side of the drawers or the back of the drawers. The advantage is the you do not need to unlock each drawer. turn the bar, pull it out and you are good to go. BTW, my suggestions are worth every penny you paid for them.

[@Rouverius]

I'm liking both style videos because it shows your problem solving and thoughts on industrial design. But when you are working with hard deadlines to move in, please feel free to focus on the renovation videos. Anyway, it was great to see you back in the shop.

[@keithviolette5870]

Great design 👍 One thing I would want to add would be a way to prevent the drawers from opening when you are rolling it around. A vertical slide at the rear that has a tooth in each drawer could be used to lock them all in. Also, I spotted the metal you added to the rear corners, I assume to also counteract the warping.

[@joe-hines]

Love the mix of both!

[@Walaby50]

I love to see a mix of both types of videos. It‘s fun to see you problem solve and also I love seeing renovation videos!

[@RedHillian]

Love your shop stuff, and love the renovation stuff too - I guess that doing a shop video means that actually your renovation work has hit a point that doesn't make good content, so I hope you're enjoying living in the apartment!

[@Myzerykord]

Why is this so satisfying ?!

[@ManOfTrades]

I love the renovation videos but I cant wait to see when you use your cool creative skills to do unique one of a kind things to the apartment! like the cool finishing touches that only you can do!

[@billofalltrades2633]

That's an amazing build!

[@andrhamm]

I much prefer the shop & 3D printing content (and have purchased most of your plans, and these ones soon too) ✌🏻

[@cadetrujillo8572]

I enjoy a mix of both the build projects and renovation videos!

[@Sfaxx]

Mix of both sounds nice but I'm hooked and really want to see progress and the result of your renovation😄

[@feldmanjared]

Love all the content, reno stuff is awesome.

[@jean-baptistemahe7379]

a mix of both. tanks Alex ⚡

[@jgfence123]

Definitely love the mix!!
