Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Workshop Hardware Storage!

Adam revamps the hardware storage system for his workshop by building a new custom wall of storage bins! Nuts, bolts, and all manner of hardware now live in this new sorter system that rolls perfectly into its new home in the cave. Happy sorting!
Sorting Bins: amzn.to/2PhSf87
Casters: amzn.to/2rUfeOI
(Note: Adam used six locking versions of these casters, which spreads the weight better than just four.)

Hi Adam's Mom

[@goosebumper88]

Hey! No link to the song from the montage? Credit the artist guys, I liked the tune and wanna follow up

[@bigmicproductions]

Did anyone count the seconds Adam did the math to get 180? I did... In under 10 seconds, he knew how many. Can you calculate faster than he did?

[@bigmicproductions]

Oh, and if you're wondering what he was drinking @ 21:41. That's a Yoo-Hoo chocolate drink 6.5 fl oz box. 🤫🤭

I love how at around 13 minutes the video was like a nature documentary.. the cameraman can see how the subject "struggles" but doesn't intervene XD

[@1Axxonn1]

as a guy who has worked in shops and warehouses and seeing people do this, it is just better to stay out of the way. simply because the person moving said object has a plan on how they wanna do it and no matter how they explain it to you , you can never fully do exactly what they want

[@Aukush]

As a joiner, I can agree. I wouldn't want anyone to grab a hold of anything unless I specifically asked them to. The camera movement just looked like the guy behind it wanted to help.

[@Platypi007]

Also the cameraman would have to put down that expensive camera rig to be able to help.

52 years and still a great role model to many, and still bringing smiles along even after mythbusters ended. A true legend.

[@ecoheliguy]

Your sorting is exactly how we have our bins where I work in Aviation. A couple pointers I would add: 1) we have mounted an example item on the front edge of where you have the plywood strip. This signifies what’s in the compartment for easy identification, especially items not at eye height, empty boxes for restocking, or if you remove the compartment for the workbench and then return it. This helps a lot when searching for a piece of hardware that visual is a better fit to a problem. Also this helps a lot where you have a bunch of miscellaneous items, say a compartment of roll pins, beside a compartment of hitch pins. 2) often helpful to place the label from the packaging to the back wall of the compartment for proper identification when re ordering stock. 3) the tilt you gave the compartments will be a headache when rolling the stand over any transitions. The hardware will vibrate out the front. A slight tilt in the other direction (aft down) would keep all hardware in compartments and also allows more to fit in the bins. Tilted down in the front is great on a bench or wall, but in motion no so much. Beautiful build.

[@sarissanhunter7227]

would even help to have the NSN on the label so even if the manufacturer changes you'll still be able to get the exact same spec item.

[@Arfwid]

Scrolling through comments finding one this helpful makes my day brighter Super helpful thank you!

[@Christackleberry]

ecoheliguy I used to set up the blue steel 40-hole bolt bins. We would have set it up a little differently. We would have gone to “eye level minus 1 row” and put the nuts and washers. Fender washers would go in a drawer to give you 4 more spots. Then below the nuts and washers, start with the shortest bolts and go longer until you are out of room. Then start back from the top down to the nuts with the longest few (least used) sizes. That might not be best for Adam’s situation, but it was our default when space was at a premium.

[@therealmfwic9503]

Wonder if he could just spin it around and load things in from the back? ie take all the bins out and flip them 180 degrees that way the opening is higher than the back end

[@ashleymccarthy6232]

20:40 Adam - "With the heaviest bolts way up on top because those are the ones that get the least amount of use..." Me - "That's just an easy way to drop them on your head while moving the shelf."

[@arayapokey]

I would of put the heaviest/least used on the bottom, and my most used at eye level. It is cool that he can just move them where ever.

@@arayapokey I can see why you wouldn't do this after thinking about the exact same comment. If you put your most used size in the middle of a vertical stack you wind up without a meaningful order for the remainder. Going with the system Adam finishes with is probably the better of all the options for his case without redesigning the wheel.

[@Siberius-]

He won't be moving the shelf (generally speaking). But it does have wheels just in case. I was thinking it being heavier up top makes it top heavy. But it's not like he's wheeling around sharp corners at 20 kilometres an hour.

[@SteveEwe]

You want them at the top. It's easy to keep and use a small step ladder. It becomes harder and harder to bend down as you get older. It will also be easier to read the labels at the top.

[@michaelhanson2848]

Séan Brown Yeah and also having a lower center of gravity will prevent tip overs. These should be as low as possible

[@joedavis6522]

Watching this makes me appreciate my local hardware store even more. What a concept. Nice chaps helping you find just the right hardware. Decent lunch spots along the way. A good excuse to venture out from the man cave for that rare breath of fresh air and a bit of sunshine.

[@TheRainHarvester]

Living next to a hardware store would be awesomE. One of the maker spaces had an interior door to Lowe's which stocked acrylic for the laser cutter and special ply for the cnc. It was like pay as you use!

[@barrishautomotive]

I absolutely love having a decent inventory of hardware on hand in my shop. At this point when I need something I don't have I generally buy a bulk supply of it so I know I'll have plenty of it in the future when I need it. It's so satisfying when I need a fastener for a project to just go to the appropriate bin and grab it.

Replacement isn’t as bad as y’all are implying. If tacked on extra well (without a full bead), they are easily ground off. They won’t come loose and it’s a lot easier and cheaper. I came here to see a rack get built, not to hear a bunch of safety Sally’s and armchair fabricators. Go to your shop and build something.

When I worked at Caterpillar, I learned that they had done the research and found that split washers didn't do any good, and actually made some joints loosen QUICKER than with no washer. They had purged them from their parts catalogs. Save your space and money, and don't use them, unless you're working on a restoration or duplication of a machine that had them originally.

I’m personally convinced that someone made a bad batch of washers, and rather than losing their job, they simply claimed that they invented something new!

Worked as a Mechanic...hated split washers. Id make it a point to toss these and are replace them with a lock or just a flat if i came across something i was working on.

And even if you are restoring, rebuilding or duplicating, you should avoid the split washers if you can. 90% of the time they wouldn't be visible anyway

I work in a manufacturing plant, and for our bolt bins we use Lista cabinets with Schaller corporation bin cups. Adam would absolutely love it.

Adam thanks for sharing. Welding casters on, hell yeah. If one ever goes bad break out the grinder and ... . I think you should've used a fan to blow the fumes away. If they, casters, are chrome plated then you have hexavalent chrome to deal with. Not good. Gloves don't expose your hands skin to the arc UV. Grinding even with a flap-wheel use a grinding shield with your glasses. Did you post the dimensions somewhere? So, take the bins and work backwards for the dimensions. Sounds good to me.

I have a plasma cutter Could someone explain the problem of welding casters on?

[@JustinShands]

@@thinfourth If you ever need to replace them (or remove them to reuse them on something else), it's definitely harder if they're welded on... even if you have a plasma cutter. The fact that I can mount/unmount the casters with the same 2 hand tools (and that they are tools that most people are likely to have) is much easier than permanently connecting them and then trying to cut them apart and retain usability. For a relevant example, what if 6 casters wound up being not quite enough and Adam decided that 8 was the right number? If he figured that out after bolting them on he'd just need to drill some new holes, but after welding he'd have to cut them off and then grind them down to be level enough to use again... That said, casters really are one of those things that generally live on the item forever after you put them on, so it's certainly not outrageous to weld them on.

Welds zinc plated casters? Without grinding the zinc off? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKOYc3-qgtKrrcU

@@snaplash Was thinking the same, screw the uv-radiation burn. Welding galvanized stuff without grinding it off before can be seriously harmful. You don't want to breathe those fumes.

@@iwontliveinfear They are definitely going to break off someday. At the end of the video it looks like he just has tack welds on them. Lol

[@iwontliveinfear]

@@Jump2218 I noticed. My stepfather was a welder for 20 years taught me everything he knew, except how to weld aluminum because the supplies are too expensive. He always said "Never weld something with moving parts. Moving parts break first, and if it is welded on it is too much work to replace."

I think the decision came he realized he shoulda thought about drilling it out before he put it together. haha. like he sez. impatience bad.

I would always choose to bolt the casters on. You never know if you might want to change the casters in the future.

[@COWBOYTJSTEVENS]

I've been welding for years, and one tip I've found out is that if your casters on one end of the rack is fixed then it tends to be easier to move around. However I know since your dealing with space why you would want them like you do. But if you move it a long distance then its a little harder. Thanks for all the wonderful videos over the years.

@@FireheartIndustries There are less heavy bits

[@FireheartIndustries]

@@themanissam1 it doesn't really matter. It's just a rule of life. You could be working in a warehouse, stocking shelves in a store, or just organizing your own workshop. You DO NOT put the heaviest objects (no matter what they are or the quantity) on the top shelf. Even if it's just a single 1 inch bolt. It's gonna hurt a lot more from 6 feet up than it would 6 inches from the floor if you drop one

I watched this and really liked the idea. And like Adam I’m in the thinking stage of how to incorporate this single sided wheeled storage into my “non business professional shop”. A couple of things I would add is a good handle on each side to help when you did have to move it. Second would be on the back side horizontally stacked tubes for long hardware items like threaded rod hardware and rods. Overall a really good usable solution

[@bredlo]

VERY satisfying to watch. Well thought out, well built, and perfectly organized results from just a few materials, assembled in a straightforward way that prioritizes practicality over flash. Can't ask for anything more than that. Subscribed!

[@marksnyder2232]

Regarding welding on the casters, I recall one heavy equipment shop where I was working. Their floors were rough (from tracked vehicles running across the concrete) and the master mechanic I was working with had customized his roll-cab with an angle iron base frame with welded on solid steel casters. He related that a new mechanic had the factory screwed on casters on his box fail, dumping a fully loaded almost new tool tower over onto its back. Bolted on might be easier to service, but chances are you'll never need to service them. With 6 casters, if one fails it will probably still be stable enough for you to carefully unload and service it. Welding works, and you don't have to alter the design to account for the bolt heads.

[@KatieCottingham]

I experienced similar situations. If it's heavy and needs to roll, and you're using basic casters like that, no point in not welding and getting a stronger connection to the caster plate. It goes agaisnt everything you have drilled into you in theatre and film building, but it's a piece of equipment/a tool, not a project piece.
