ALDI VS LIDL PARKSIDE TOOLS & UNIQUE JAR STORAGE IN MY WORKSHOP ⚒️🤪

[@WeekendShedHead]

What’s your thoughts on me showing all the mistakes I make.. although it was hot and sweaty in the shed on Sunday 😂 my excuse.. but I thought I’d show my errors 👍 Thanks for watching.. there are millions of KZbin videos out there, I’m blown away by the fact you watch mine. !! Comment if you like Like if you like Subscribe if you like CHEERS !

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

11:45. Call them whatever I like? Or we can say that at least now you have a lot of spare Hockey 🏒 Pucks. 😂

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

13:36. Have you tried leaving them to soak in bleach and rinsing of with hot water while scrubbing them with a nail brush? I find that works well, DW40 is good, but perhaps the glue has been on for donkey years. 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

18:56. Seeing as the Parkside bars are longer, you could take them off and put them on your new clamps, and if they fit, you have a winner! 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️

[@johnbroadbent1609]

Yeah for sure .it makes for a more genuine and entertaining video plus makes it more educational and relatable as long as that doesnt become the video...the point is to reach a conclusion even if it carries over to another video.

[@davethebuskeruk]

I think it's important as makers we don't airbrush all the mistakes out, you see really slick videos where nothing goes wrong and it gives a false impression that it all runs smoothly, then someone new tries out a project, it hits problems and they assume it's them so give up. I very rarely edit things out of my content, mostly it's a straight take. If I swear I delete the video and start over because the groups I admin and moderate keep the language clean but that's a personal preference, IRL I swear like a trooper :) Keep doing this style of video mate :) Great idea with the jars too.

[@stevengordon3407]

Please don’t change! It was like watching myself, wrong sums, starting wrong end, drilling too far! 🤣 fantastic, your channel is real life for us sheddies, not like the smooth polished (edited) videos out there! Keep it up Rob 👍

[@WeekendShedHead]

Big thanks buddy 👍 cheers Rob

[@Rob.Coleman]

I watched this thinking you were a pro. Imagine how elated I felt when I realised you were a mere mortal 😁😁. Nice job, please keep the mistakes, it stops the rest of us feeling like abject failures 👍👍.

[@WeekendShedHead]

😂😂 brilliant ! Will do 👍 cheers Rob from Rob 👍😉

[@MrBigMalT]

When I was a nipper, 50 odd years ago, my dad had a big jam jar storage system in his shed for screws etc. He’d used the alternate idea you mentioned, screwing the lids to the underside of a long self, with jars secured by screwing the jars onto the lids. I loved helping him with diy, and begged him to let me bring down a jar of screws. Eventually he agreed, even though I was on tiptoes…. As the jar came free it slipped out of my hands - amazing how far hundreds of screws and bits of broken glass can go 😂😂😂. Now if he’d used a design like yours…. 👍👍👍

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great story buddy 😂 I just hope one doesn’t do that on my head 😂 cheers Rob 👍

[@kafkaian]

Love the storage. I use a decorator's window scraper for the labels in a wash-up tub with some hot soapy water. Takes seconds. Basically, up and down motion then use one of those stainless steel washing scourers to finish off. Easy

[@WeekendShedHead]

Big thanks and great tips , cheers Rob

[@DIYer7157happydiyer]

Brilliant Vid. As a new subscriber its refreshing to see someone who works like me. Mistakes, mistakes but finish it all the same.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Thanks for the sub! 😉👍 cheers Rob

[@andyc972]

Cheers Rob, great idea, and you got there in the end, it's so easy to mess up the measurements when you're working on the fly, but good to show mistakes too, keeps it real ! There are so many systems available to buy these days but tbh jars work as well as anything, just don't drop them. Somebody there has a sweet tooth with all that honey, perhaps you should make one in a hexagon shape like a honey comb ! 😉

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers mate , great ideas.. it’s about 6 months worth of honey jars 😂😂 but I do like it 😋 🐝

Hey Rob..... Heath Robinson would be proud! Filling them will be be the interesting thing. Thanks as always for the content .....as always...looking forward to the next one.

[@WeekendShedHead]

😂👍 cheers mate

[@choppermike3329]

Definitely show mistakes. Makes it real and helps people to learn IMHO. That jar rack is an awesome idea. Keep up the great additions to the shed!

[@WeekendShedHead]

Big thanks buddy .. I will 😉👍 cheers

[@RMo-wr5rl]

Really good at explaining, better than colleges ,i really am tuned in

[@WeekendShedHead]

Much appreciated 😃👍 cheers Rob

[@plunder1956]

A very old trick I found in a TV series nearly 40 years ago - was to fix the jar lit to the underside of a shelf with screws. Then screw the jar up into position.

[@patrick9402]

That's how I've done it. Thought this was unnecessarily complicated.

[@WeekendShedHead]

I did think about doing this 👍 cheers Rob

[@AmigaA-or2hj]

I sure the programme was called, Trade Secrets.🤔

[@GarysDIY70]

great video, useful storage, dish washer takes labels off, or soak them for a bit then use petrol to remove any residue

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers buddy, great advice, cheers Rob

[@trishjones4894]

love the video, maybe with the jars u could print a little picture of the things in the jars and stick them on the bottom, im new to all this but loving everyones videoes and tips, keeps me out of mischief, and im in the uk so lidl stuff is easy to get, thanks xx

[@WeekendShedHead]

Big thanks Trish.. and 😮😮😃 that’s a great idea.. you’ve got me thinking on sketching screws and hooks now 👌👍 brilliant , thanks for watching much appreciated, cheers Rob

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Good job with the jar storage solution. And, of course, don't be chucking out those very useful centres you've cut out! Yes, the 'workshed' is an excellent hobby/therapist, or whatever we want to call it. Wouldn't mind getting a hold of some of that adhesive they use on your honey jars. If it takes a wire brush on a grinder to remove the labels, it must be strong! I use the hole cutters a lot. In my experience, it is much better to give the cutter a rest - especially if you are cutting 20 plus apertures. It also makes sense to give the teeth of the cutter a clean with a small wire/brass brush to clean of the resin. If you are going to make more, why not use a legnth of floorboard - easier to cut, even two at a time. As for the mistakes, well, we are all human, and we all make mistakes. Not everyone is honest enough to admit to them.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great tips buddy , and thanks , cheers Rob

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi Rob, what a great idea for jars and making use of space above your door frame which is wasted space and turned it in to useful space. Like the idea of using the wire wheel to remove the labels, better than my idea on Shed space saying smash the glass and peel it off🤣🤣Those Aldi clamps are great value for £7. As always a great video catch you on Thursday at 7, til then take care👍👍

[@Reggyontheroad]

Hi shoun👍👍🔩🔩

[@WeekendShedHead]

Hi Shaun , cheers mate.. yeah saves breaking the glass 😂😂👍 cheers Rob

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Nice job Rob. Love the jar rack, looks like its going to work well. Thanks so much for the shout out. I was sitting quite happily watching your video, then you popped up my channel 😃. Nice one mate. Thanks for the video 😁👍.

[@WeekendShedHead]

😂😂 no probs mate and big thanks , cheers

[@rodharris2915]

Nice one Rob 👍 jar holder came out great.it's good to see somebody else making mistakes also makes good content

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers Rod

[@stevehedges1158]

Another great video keep the mistakes in makes me feel better when I do similar things. Definitely LED lights hidden behind will look good with the light shining what's in the jars.Steve aus.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers Steve.. yeah I think I’ll do that mate 😉👍

[@RMo-wr5rl]

You've got some really good ideas

[@WeekendShedHead]

Thank you! 😊 cheers

[@tony1721]

Love the video, one of my uncles had a storage idea with jars very similar to this, was fascinated by it as a kid.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Glad you enjoyed it , the oldest ideas are the best ideas 👍 cheers Rob

[@AM-jw1lo]

My father did glass jar storage in the 60's, we had it around for decades. I would suggest this to no one, you will be cleaning broken glass off floors, cleaning broken glass out of nuts and bolts or anything you store in them. Just get a 3d printer, you can and make storage any which way, and get a labeler and you will be able to find everything.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Thanks for sharing! Cheers Rob

[@evanleebodies]

I can just see those "wheels" spinning merrily on your Lidl wood lathe, waiting to be sculpted for your next work of art. Nice work mate.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Never be shy in showing your mistakes Rob, it always helps others to maybe not repeat them 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers buddy.. good advice 👍

[@paulpentecost9860]

You were saying about using your magnetic strips to hold jars in. I would imagine that’s an expensive way to go about it whereas I tend to use magnetic tape. It seems to stick pretty well to most surfaces. Loving your videos here in Wales

[@WeekendShedHead]

Big thanks 😃 great idea magnetic strip 😃👍 cheers Rob

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Rob! I love the jar storage rack! Great stuff! 😃👍

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers John 👍

[@markduggan3451]

Lidi also has the 4 pack of clamps.

[@WeekendShedHead]

😉👍👍

[@Johny732601]

depending on the material of the lids you could alwasy stick a magnet in ther for a little extra hold, failing that (if the lids non-magnetic) you could use some sticky-back velcro, Happy making!

[@WeekendShedHead]

That's a great idea buddy! A few people have said the same 👍 luckily they are metallic 👍 cheers Rob

[@Gazr965]

When I was a kid, the joiner next door screwed the jar lids under shelves or anywhere he could and then simply turn jar to get at the nails, screws and other bits etc. Gaz UK.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Thought of that but didn’t want to risk dropping when turning , cheers Rob 👍

[@ianunwin]

i got the clamps and hinges nice stuff and great to see that Aldi are doing tools again, i got the rechargeable stapler other day its a good bit of kit

[@WeekendShedHead]

I did see the stapler , good to hear , cheers Rob

[@samholborn]

Yep just like me, awesome stuff, i boo boo all the time, dont change it

[@WeekendShedHead]

[@fleetswoodshop3339]

Hey there buddy great little video my friend been a long time since I did a jar rack. But they're always a great idea. Great to see you my friend.😊

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers buddy.. it seems to work well.. the system may change yet though 😉👍 all the best Rob

[@tennentssuppa]

when you're measuring for each jar, do it on a bit of scrap, cut it to size and use that as your template for all the others.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great tip 👍 cheers Rob

[@MonkeyBabba]

i have aldi speed clamps for over a year now they also do a bigger set but you only get 2 in a pack instead of the 4, can i give you 1 bit of advice though the rubber caps on them super glue them on as i was forever losing my mind with them falling off :)

[@WeekendShedHead]

Fantastic tip 😃 I will do ! Cheers Rob

[@Beerwalla1]

Rather than take the lables off, just put a new label over the top. Rather than making all what you did just screw the lid to something then turn the jar into the lid it will stay there. if you worried about not having a lid on the jar, just use some extra lids. Those clamps are ok for the money, long way off of the better quality ones, but depends what you want them for.

[@andrewpeters3424]

Really good idea

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers mate 👍

[@PhilsWorkshop1953]

What an absolutely great vid just how I like them totally honest you gave me a great laugh just what I needed today thanks so much 😅 loved it

If you can get your hands on some tar remover, I use Tardis, it cuts through all sorts even silicone.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great advice.. I’ll look out for it, cheers Rob 👍

[@andybawn1]

great idea, but i'd NEVER have glass jars in my workshop. plastic maybe

[@1MartinWaite]

I bought the parkside clamps a fortnight ago and they were exactly the same as the Aldi ones as in shorter than yours and came as a pack of 4 2small and 2 larger for £6 so exactly the same as Aldi now my Parkside clamps are next to no use at all I cannot get them to clamp tightly and the wood slides out. Plus the pads slide off the clamp on tightening. To sum up they are next to useless and I’ll stick to my old sash clamps. Thanks.😊😊😊😊

[@rossamartin]

Petrol ⛽️ is the best cleaner ever. It will have those labels and sticky glue residue off in a second. It’s unstoppable 😂 how or why I don’t but no dirt grease or glue is a match for petrol!

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great point 👌 cheers Rob

[@rossamartin]

@@WeekendShedHead Never saw one of those straddle squares before, even after watching loads of tools and carpentry and woodworking videos, wanted to use the likes of that many times, never quite knew if I was getting the line right around the right angle of the timber, will get through your store, great job.👍

[@xlfive]

My Mrs loves Pickled onions,no she's to old to be pregnant lol so I'm saving the jars off them. I've been using my heat gun to remove the labels and WD40 to get the residue off I was going to do the age old screw the lids up but you have a great idea Cheers

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great tips buddy 😃😃 I’ll try the old heat gun.. I must say these jars have glue on an industrial level 😂 cheers Rob

[@Tom-gv2eo]

Waste of costly WD 40 - - soak 2 hrs in bowl with washin up dtergent

Good video

[@keithjames9654]

Use Glass Jars for Jam, Preserves etc, NOT for nails screws etc. Ever job one full of screws n- they don't bounce but screws go everywhere. Use Plastic Jars.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Very true.. Cheers 👍

[@warrenfrost984]

Brilliant idea that.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Cheers 😃👍

[@alecbyrom7419]

I found the Aldi clamps break easily, managed to squash my fingers between the trigger and handle when it went.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Thanks for the heads up. Cheers Rob

[@Tom-gv2eo]

Thanks For info. I'll now visit Lidl to see their clamps , despite Aldi being walkin dist. from home . but I'm happy with bench drill ,+ extending shears I bought at Aldi 12 yrs ago

[@caggius42]

Lidl have 60cm led strip lights this week would fit nicely above the jars..

[@WeekendShedHead]

Good call 😃

[@lawrencemartin1113]

Thank you! And Cheers Rob

[@phil3332]

Wooden round wheels or disc you are going to make a drum sander that fit on to your drill. Also those workzone clamps they do/did do larger ones. yours look like 10" the other are 12", l couldn't make up my mind about buying both sets until l looked around at other price and yes these were the better buy. (now got both sets)

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great stuff ! 👍👍 drum sander would be a good idea 👍 cheers Rob

"Says galvanised, looks zinc plated to me'. Galvanising is zinc plating.

[@davidjbatley]

If you put white spirit in a spay bottle, spray all the jars liberally and leave overnight the next day all the labels will have dropped off.

[@WeekendShedHead]

😮😮😃 I’ll try that ! Great tip buddy , cheers Rob

[@samholborn]

Hi from hull UK,

[@paulkimber1287]

Turn the jars round and write on the metal lids what’s inside

[@WeekendShedHead]

Good idea , Yeah I thought of that.. but I thought seeing through the bottom might be better , I may change them round yet though , thanks , cheers Rob

[@RMo-wr5rl]

Funny good humour 😂

[@WeekendShedHead]

😂 cheers mate

[@mattylad8035]

If you prefer the Aldi clamps, can you swap the bars from the Parkside ones?

[@WeekendShedHead]

Good idea mate 👍👍 cheers Rob

[@adrianlynch9435]

Lidl do the same x4 pack clamp set. Bought x2 sets a couple of weeks ish ago.

[@WeekendShedHead]

😉👍👍

[@drcl7429]

Best not to measure from a measure. Glue small neodymium magnets for the lids to attract to if you are worried about them falling out, can get 50 for less than a fiver. Most lids have steel in. If you want to remove glue, score with a knife and douse in isopropyl alcohol is the best.

[@tony1721]

Temu is your friend 😂

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great tips buddy 😃👍 cheers Rob

[@henrybest4057]

Goo Gone or AF label remover will get the labels off. They are made mostly of petrol and lemon oil, so not an unpleasant smell.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great tips 😃👍 cheers Rob

My Butter Fingers can't deal with real glass jars, I have to use the plastic ones.

[@WeekendShedHead]

😂😂 yeah I would probably be safer with plastic 😂 cheers Rob

[@Tom-gv2eo]

Yes- plastic jars/ pots don't smash when you drop the.m. - but yu need to apply sticky lables to indicate contents

[@capk387]

Clamps - get and old sabersaw blade, grind teeth off and make it safe, drill two holes in it and measure holes on to end of clamp (drill extra hole in clamp) screw together and you have a paint can shaker 10million

[@WeekendShedHead]

Fantastic tip 😃

[@franceshawe9572]

WD 40 is good to soften the label adhesive. Let it soak for a while

[@Tom-gv2eo]

WD.40 😮. Rather expensiv 4 such a mundane job

[@franceshawe9572]

@@Tom-gv2eo I never spent much on it. A little squirt softens the label but I really have to loosen things that have tightened or rusted.

[@tonysheerness2427]

Your jar storage is clever, but defeats the purpose of the jar, difficult to see what is inside the jar. I like it as it is better than screwing the lids to the underside of shelves, unscrewing the jar and them screwing it back on.

[@WeekendShedHead]

I did think of doing that but wanted to keep the lid attached .. also can see from the bottom, cheers for the comment 👍

[@Mark-xl8gg]

Why not put the jars in with the lid showing, then you could label the lids
