[@TheJarheadEntrepreneur]

This is perfect for what I need..Love me some PVC projects..Keep Crushing It!!! Stay HUMBLE, Stay HUNGRY, Stay FOCUSED...~The Jarhead Entrepreneur

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Another very clever design! Keep 'em coming, Ray.

[@TabLeft]

Thank you!

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

This is a really simple way to organize your air tool, great idea!!

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@danjones4271]

So simple it's ingenious! I've been looking for a simple way to organize my air tools. Thank you sir!

[@TabLeft]

thanks for watching!

[@davidpaulbryant]

Wow, awesome idea, making this next. Sometimes the best part is waiting for paint or glue to dry, to make that well earned beverage run.

[@TabLeft]

+dave bryant haha yeah! Thanks for watching!

[@karljcraig]

great idea and also glad to see you in wandering round with a beer thats the first order of business in my shed

[@TabLeft]

+karl craig haha, well i gotta do something while the paint dries =)

[@1stJaytree]

I had some pvc scrap and after watching your video, I decided that would be a great way to free up my bottom rollaway that holds my 14 air tools. The scrap I have is all schedule 40 left over from my water system mods. The wall thickness is greater than the indention of the air nipples so it didn't work out as well. The tools fit the notches but they are difficult to get in and out and don't hang properly. I may use a pen grinder later to notch down the inner wall of the notches themselves. Thanks for the idea though. It gave me a project to work on during my shift rotation while trying to stay awake all night.

[@RodneyFisk]

Not kidding, one of the best ideas I've seen on YT. Well done!

[@dpelcherjr]

Pure genius. May I say thank you, you have solved a long battle with my air tool storage. I applaude you. Thanks

[@TabLeft]

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you can make use of it! Air tools have always been a pain to store for me and I don't even have that many.

[@robharrod]

An outstanding but simple solution, Ray! I'm sure that this will be used by many! Keep thinking and making! Wishing You and Your Family a Happy New Year!!

[@TabLeft]

Thank you! And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[@MeghanMowder]

Happy New Year Rob!

[@robharrod]

Meghan Mowder HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[@oldmanpottering]

Excellent ! great idea and terrific video,love the fact that there is no BS 5 min talk about why you needed it etc etc straight to the point and great result subscribed !

[@TabLeft]

Thank you!

[@BraxtonWirthlin]

Great idea, Ray! I've got several nail guns and tons of other air compressor related stuff strewn all over my shop. This would make a perfect solution.

[@TabLeft]

Thanks Braxton!

[@22busy43]

Great idea. I’m impressed that you drew a straight line freehand. Mine would be a wavy line that looked more like a barbershop pole.

[@thedrubaru]

This popped up in my recommended feed and I'm really glad that it did! Great idea, thanks!!

[@TabLeft]

Thanks! Me too :)

[@MattsShop]

This is crazy! Extremly creative. Great job!

[@cmassey1999]

I didn't know where you were going with this. I'll have to make one of these. excellent job, cool idea.

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@basuramanya]

Cool Idea. Nice to see you had an assistant.

[@TabLeft]

+Dan Yeah he makes sure I don't slack too much =)

[@v4cyborg416]

great quick video with no b/s and great ingenuity

[@TabLeft]

+V4Cyborg thank you!

[@ShaunGehringimakestuff]

Genius, i love it. Best solutions are usually the simplest

[@TabLeft]

It helps that I'm lazy :) thanks for watching!

[@adallen3]

Super idea and great job with the video...my favorite part was at 3:47 when you strolled through the shop sipping an adult beverage...

[@TabLeft]

lol gotta do something while the paint dries =)

[@mhaz49]

Smart idea, only question can that fittin on the end of the tool support that much weight for extended periods?

[@TabLeft]

Thanks! And yeah pretty sure it could hang there indefinitely with no issues.

[@matthenard]

made this in about 15 min with a drill press and bandsaw! I love it, thanks for the great idea! I was able to get rid of two bulky storage cases and free up some much desired room in the shop!

[@TabLeft]

Awesome!!!

[@John_Malecki]

def need to make one of these

[@tpobrienjr]

I like it! Very simple, takes advantage of the connectors, even the ones on the small tools. Good thinking.

[@powerontap]

Thanks for the awesome idea! I made one yesterday and it worked out great. I used a hand drill so I had to do quite a bit of cleanup with files to make it look perfect. I did 10 holes drilled 3" apart and I barely have enough room for my bigger impact guns, I can't put two bigger guns next to each other, next time I'll do 3 1/4" or 3 1/2" apart.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

That was just slightly more than a brilliant idea! Too cool!

[@TabLeft]

Haha thanks! Iit's really just me being cheap :)

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Being cheap plays right into my wheelhouse

[@CMRWoodworks]

Great idea Ray!

[@TabLeft]

Thank you!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Awesome Organizer for all your air tools, Very Cool !!

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Great idea, Ray! If I end up with even more air tools, I'll need a place for them. so I'll keep this in mind.

[@TabLeft]

Cool! Hurry up and get more air tools :)

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Great idea! I bought a boxed set about 8 years ago for a remodel then boxed them back up when we moved to your neck of the woods. And there they sat in that big 3'X3'X16" plastic case for five years, until I dug them out for a project and now they just get moved around with no place to go. Any issues with the weight of the tools 6 months+ later?

[@southernblueblood5402]

That's an awesome idea, thanks to this video I can clean out a drawer in my tool chest. Thank you and am now subscribed.👏👏

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

I am so totally stealing/borrowing this idea for my shop! Really cool!

[@TabLeft]

+Tom's Dreamshop Worx heck yeah man! Do it!

[@jamaxit]

I'm definitely digging that for my air tools. Thanks for the great idea and fun video!

[@TabLeft]

+James Landis Thanks for watching!

[@MikeKapotsy]

Nice job Ray! I like it.

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@MikeMerzke]

That is a great idea to store air tools! I am definitely going to make one for the shop! Keep up the good work!

[@TabLeft]

+Mike Merzke Thanks, I'll try =)

[@mrupholsteryman]

I love this idea! I was initially going to spend money on the connections that attach to the counterpart and fasten those to keep them in place...but this seems to be less money .... I may make subtle changes like a small flap that overlays the slots so that it keeps some dust and dirt out more. I don't have a dust collection system or air cleaner YET....but this will definitely be useful. Thanks SO much for sharing this.

[@operatesmoothly]

outstanding, simple yet extremely effective

[@mickgentry8128]

Awesome design, another must have.Cheers

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@benbrubaker7896]

Another awesome idea. I was thinking the whole time you were going to use collets or something.. not slotted holes.. wow.

[@TabLeft]

+Ben Brubaker Thanks!

[@donfillenworth1721]

Nice design. I'll be making some for my shop. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mr2at]

What a brilliant idea. Hows it holding up after a few years? Are you still using it?

[@TabLeft]

Mr2at still using it and it’s held up fine. Might need another soon though

[@weyrunner2838]

best pneumatic tool storage I've seen! Thank You, this is my very next project....

[@TabLeft]

Thanks for watching!

[@LokiX76]

Looks tedious but worth it. Need to clear up some space in the tool box and this would help tremendously.

[@Retroweld]

Sweet. Nice job man!

[@TabLeft]

+RetroWeld Thanks!

[@StoneandSonsWorkshop]

Nice job, Ray.

[@TabLeft]

+Stone and Sons Workshop Thanks!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Smart idea, thanks for sharing!

[@TabLeft]

Thank you :)

[@paulstradley9157]

Question: what did you use to mark the lines for the slot. Was that a piece of metal or pipe cut to size?

[@TabLeft]

+paul stradley just a small piece of the same pvc that was cut so it could snap on

[@ecrusch]

Nicely done brother. Your video skills have improved too. Eric

[@TabLeft]

Thank you 👍👍👍

[@dddddmorgan]

Gorgeous idea!

[@monte6614]

Very nice. My only concern is that with the couplings upright it would be very easy for sawdust and such to get in there and clog up the works. Maybe adding a long flap of some flexible material along the top edge to keep out debris?

[@TabLeft]

+robert montalbano I thought about that too, my hope is that the top of the PVC which still covers it will help mitigate that.

[@michelevitarelli]

Bravo. Great video. Thanks for sharing. The rolling table looks awesome.

[@malonemade7230]

great little project!

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@solutions2uinc]

well done , welllll done my friend!

[@orelygarcia]

Cool Idea, Thumbs up.

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@just_a_guy_doing]

absolutely awesome idea, I've had an idea similar to this bouncing around in my head for years now just never acted on it. you've given me inspiration to build one myself thank you my friend happy new year

[@TabLeft]

+QuainBuilt Awesome! Hope to see it =) Happy new year!

[@timsway]

great idea! and i like the editing. well done.

[@TabLeft]

Thanks Tim!

[@MakingStuffco]

Great solution man!

[@dsberube]

Excellent! Can't wait to make one

[@TabLeft]

+Dan Berube Thanks! Hope you do!

[@oldmanpottering]

Great idea ! thanks for sharing

[@TabLeft]

+1800cc thanks for watching!

[@GiacoWhatever]

Awesome!!! Totally going to do this!

[@TabLeft]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!!!

[@nikoskgs]

Very clever idea.i ll try it for my spray paint guns!!

[@TabLeft]

Awesome!

[@lorencarey7161]

is this original, eitherway awesome idea, and great video

[@TabLeft]

Yeah it's original, there are obviously other air tool racks out there that can be purchased, but I think it's fair to call this implementation original.

[@salvadorgonzalez9320]

This is awesome. Just made a full 6' one to go under my cabinets. Thanks!

[@RedBeardCarpentryWoodworks]

Such a great idea! Definitely adding this to my shop!!

[@TabLeft]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@djAnakin]

That's pretty awesome! Nice idea!

[@TabLeft]

Thanks :)

[@wayfastwhitie455]

So now that it's been a while. How well has it been holding up? Looks good and I like the idea of it being plastic versus metal hanger wearing out my fittings.

[@TabLeft]

wayfastwhitie455 so far so good! No problems yet.

[@dieseldaddy4205]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely a great idea. Thanks,,,,,I'm gonna steal this idea for my shop. Love it.

[@snazy7777]

Thanks for sharing, Just finished making one

[@AusMiner]

Brilliant. So simple and works a treat. Thanks for sharing.

[@AwesomeWoodThings]

Yes! I must build one of these right away! Thanks for sharing.

[@TabLeft]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@OneWoodAuwoodworking]

That is a great idea well done

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@josechavez5950]

pretty cool idea sir!

[@blackhorse2947]

Thank you for adding a new project to my bucket list…………

[@brothyr]

First get air-tools then make this or the other way?

[@TabLeft]

Definitely air tools first :)

[@Minecraftplayer5555]

Very cool project, i just have to make one myself. btw if you want a staight line on a pipe just lay the pipe and your pen flat on the table and draw the pen along the pipe, that way you get a perfectly straight line.

[@TabLeft]

True, but I like to practice using the edge of my finger as a guide for marks like these. Its a useful and surprisingly accurate skill.

[@lilypower]

totally missed this one, superb idea!

[@aire930]

excellent concept and execution! Happy New Year!

[@TabLeft]

Thanks! And a Happy New Year to you!!!

[@MacnWood]

Sweet! Nice to see you back in the video feed! Great idea buddy :) 👊

[@TabLeft]

Thanks man! I seem to recall you were considering a channel awhile back... It would be a really nice addition!!!

[@BCdesign1]

Thats a really great idea,very simple!!

[@TabLeft]

Thanks! I always aim for simplicity :)

[@stevewalker7822]

What an awesome idea!

[@mikeharvey6061]

Very cool idea. Thanks

[@TabLeft]

Thanks for watching!

[@gordroberts53]

Brilliant! AND it uses up accumulating waste in my shop! Thanks for sharing.

[@SouthernGinger]

Neat idea. I like it.

[@fordman9331]

That is an awesome idea, I have definitely got to make one. What size PVC did you use and what length did you make it?

[@chackiejan3789]

Very nice job

[@ItsGoodEnough4GovernmentWork]

Great idea!

[@TabLeft]

Thank you!

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Totally cool idea! good job!

[@TabLeft]

Thank you :)

[@anthonybarefoot6744]

thanks for the share. I love the swing out table

[@RickRose]

Genius. I'm stealing it. Thanks!

[@7418max]

awesome job

[@TabLeft]

Thanks!

[@jeffdeluca1153]

SWEET idea! What can't you use PVC for?

[@TabLeft]

pvc and emt conduit are some of the most under utilized materials around i think =)

[@septimuspretorius250]

Nice Job!

[@JoeRadman]

Nice job.

[@TabLeft]

Thank you!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Oh, really good idea! I was just rewatching one of your videos yesterday, wondering where you've been.

[@TabLeft]

Thanks! Yeah I've been crazy busy with work, family, travel, shop reorganization etc etc etc. but I think the majority of that is past now and I should be getting back to weekly posts now :)

[@BruceAUlrich]

+TabLeft Workshop Good to hear it. Happy New Year!

[@aethertech]

If this was in my garage, i'd be "must buy more tools, must fill in rack. must not have unused slots."

[@TabLeft]

+aethertech haha I have a few in mind but I waiting to get a larger compressor to run them.

[@davidsparrow6247]

Thank you.......what a fantastic idea.

[@tooljunkie555]

that's a good idea now i can finally get rid of my 10 drawer double stacked tool box that houses my air tools and make some room in the lumber room thanks for the idea halpy 2016

[@TabLeft]

You're welcome! Hope your not really getting rid of that cool sounding toolbox though :). Thanks for watching!

[@tooljunkie555]

+TabLeft Workshop well,,im taking it out of my shop and putting it in the garage..til i do my renovation in the spring.

[@beauxtx1959]

VERY nice!! Built one and mounted it to the edge of the tablesaw. Boo-YAH!

[@TabLeft]

+beauxtx1959 Thanks! I wish I had built it years ago!

[@GuysShop]

Nice idea. Thanks for sharing this!

[@TabLeft]

Thank you!

[@matthewbrown7111]
