Cardboard boxes storage rack

[@andrewgalbreath2101]

I love how so many woodworking projects start by eating something, looking at the container, and saying "That would be great for storage"

[@larrybud]

I've found myself looking to garbage pick old wood that people are throwing out for shop storage.

[@gorak9000]

I kinda wish I ate blueberries now - I could really use a storage system like that! Nothing I eat comes in conveniently sized boxes like that... :(

[@Sturmcrow1]

I think it was Matthias that used small yogurt containers to make a tray for screws and bolts. I copied that idea and use the resulting tray several times a week when I need an odd screw or nut. I also take out all of the screws and hardware (e.g. battery boxes) after my kids destroy their toys. Those little screws come in handy a lot. From trash to treasure!

[@covariance5446]

Well they really *would* be great for storage! They were manufactured for that purpose; they're readily available, inexpensive, and reliably uniform!

[@TheDevnul]

It’s not just the build, it’s the thought process you go through and elaborate on that makes this channel so great.

[@bulldawgsmedia]

So happy that you have control of your account again.

[@daanwilmer]

About that...

[@FailedZerg]

Matthias you're one of my favorite creators. I've watched your videos since Marble Machine 2 for probably about 15 years. I have literally grown up watching your content. You've taught me a lot of things about being practical and systematic indirectly just by watching your methodical approach to problems. I'll always appreciate your videos. I love that you got your nail gun out of a dumpster. Don't ever change! God bless you and your family.

[@antraxxslingshots]

Totally agree. Same for me. I follow him since he build that apple grinder with the screwheads exposed to mush apples for cider. I am a homeowner now and you wouldn´t believe how many projects i approached in his manor. Solidity of my projects has improved a lot since i follow him. Stay safe and have a nice weekend :)

[@harlanbarnhart4656]

I've been watching about that long as well.

[@KilroyR]

This is a great observation. I hadn't realized I'd been watching Matthias for over a decade, now. When I think about personal heroes, I don't typically think of KZbinrs, but he has influenced the way I think about problems. Cheers!

[@flinkwieeinwiesel5657]

Matthias inspired me to buy a tablesaw as well as a bandsaw in 2015. Never regrettted it! Workshop keeps getting bigger and bigger :)

[@ponkje]

The day I discovered his videos (6-7 years ago) I ended up watching all of them and it planted the seed in my mind I want to build nice and interesting things too. Fast forward to two years ago, I quit being a programmer and went and got my qualification in woodworking and now I run my own shop. It's hard but so satisfying. Grateful and happy this channel exists. Sending a big hug from Italy.

[@FlacidWanga]

Sorry for all the stress you've had to endure, if I could, I'd donate for the effort you've put in simply to intrigue us. Thanks, Matthias.

[@Snowmunkee]

For a second I thought you needed all that storage for blueberries....

[@orandilu989]

Same thing! My thought was, there's NO WAY they can eat that many blueberries before they go bad. Then my logic kicked in. 😂

[@zacprunty]

Don’t let Matthias lie to you. He’s eating THAT many blueberries! :D

[@LeesChannel]

Plot twist; Mattias is a bear

[@simonhopkins3867]

He's making blueberry vodka or schnapps 😉

[@bami2]

Recycling is good and all but re-use, even of cardboard boxes, is just magnificent. I just love taking something meant for one-time packaging and using it for years to store/organize stuff in.

[@uranoxyd]

We always had mustard from the jar. The jar was simply covered with a tin lid. The whole family drank from these glasses later because they were really nice drinking glasses. Someone recently thought to himself: "Just a lid, that's stupid, let's put a thread on it. Well, now the empty glasses are thrown away instead of being reused. What a pity

[@PatEm10]

It's so satisfying when a company packages things in a way that is reuse friendly. It's like metal coffee cans...they are almost non-existent now. I'll specifically buy a brand just for it's container!

[@sparqqling]

@@uranoxyd I would switch mustard brand!

[@sfan2767]

People always forget recycling is the last one in Reduce Reuse Recycle for a erason.

[@robertharris1748]

@@uranoxyd there's an expensive jam brand that I quite like (can't remember the name off the top of my head - from Whole Foods a while back) that still does that. Glasses are a bit small for water IMO but are excellent whisky tumblers! Have at least 4 in my cabinet.

[@dwalsh3469]

Checking for “square” is the least followed up / actioned check on KZbin video commentary. Everything is nearly always absolutely square. Thank you for demonstrating how to fix “out of square”. Hypotenuse clamps. Genius.

[@williamparker8318]

Back in the early 40's my Grandmother used old cigar boxes for her storage cabinet. She new people at several tobacco shops and used the same size box on all. After 50 years of use (when we had to move her out of her home), these cabinets were still operational. Cheers

[@DylanClarkSallee]

I still find my grandfather’s cigar boxes all over the house we inherited. It’s a nice reminder of him every time.

[@BloodiedHorror]

I love how your one of the best woodworkers around, still screw up, and show the parts where you screw up and how you fix it.

[@ianltd]

Very happy to see the channel is back!

[@StefsEngineering]

Happy to see you back!! Also lets give some compliments to @KZbin for adressing this highjack, and solving it this fast! We are all very skilled at complaining about youtube, but lets take a short moment to also highlight the good!

[@SridharJayakumar]

At first I make a temporary solution for something. Most of the time it lasts fifteen or more years before I have time to make something definite. And that lasts only five years or so.

I know people always say this, but it's really great that you leave in your screw-ups, because 90% of success in life is learning how to recover from error. Seeing you succeed after having to fix a mistake or two is a lot more valuable than seeing you succeed via edited perfection.

Welcome back!

[@PelleKuipers]

I love it! I did a similar thing with peanut butter jars. I have a cupboard where the top space is too high to properly reach, and also to deep. By making a holder for all those jars I could put those in horizontal. Now I only need to grab the front to get to them. Underneath is space for a couple to stand vertical, because I can reach that easily. Also prevents moths from getting into the food during the summer.

I used to live in Pennfield and had a wild blueberry field behind my place. was nice to pick fresh blueberries especially when I was young and poor. The blueberry box from St. Stephens brought back some nice memories.

I've been watching your YT channel for years and you never cease to amaze me. Thank you.

[@billparrish4385]

I always learn something or get a good tip or suggestion for my own projects from your videos, and this one is no exception! I was going to do this very type of system to put a bank of tool and small parts drawers in my old workbench, to sit on its open shelf underneath. I thought about the side guides to keep the back corner of the drawer from going in between the frame stiles, but was thinking about pocket screws to fasten them to the stiles. Your brad nailing and gluing them between the runners is genius, since the runners are already attached to the stiles, that's sufficient for holding all 3 pieces, the 2 runners and the guide. Thanks as always for your practicality, and your upcycling of used and construction-grade wood. With lumber prices still higher than I'd like, I hate sinking more than I need to, into a humble shop project. Good stuff, Matthias!

[@kyoopihd]

Glad to see you got the channel back. Hope not too much damage was done!

[@Erik_The_Viking]

Wild blueberries are awesome! Blueberry wine is really good! That's a great use of the boxes. I've done similar re-use of boxes for less waste, plus the sizes were practical.

[@gdonham1203]

You are a man of many talents. I like that you leave in the mistakes. With the magic of video you could edit out the mistakes. We all make mistakes and that is why they put erasers on the end of pencils.

[@LynxSnowCat]

I was initially confused why you intended to spend the material to close of the 'back'-side of the rack instead of making the boxes accessible from either side, but was satisfied by how well efficiently the "extra-shitty used-plywood --" [with no other(?)] "-- for uses like this" filled the space. I'd initially imagined that off-camera you had the blueberry-boxes stacked like the arrays of banker-boxes I'm used to sliding in/out from under benches or overhead shelves to access deeper ranks while searching for tools/materials "helpfully re-"-organized by people [with different "priorities" that do not include being able to use any of it...] -- But seeing that you intend this to be easily and readily accessible, has made me rethink my plans towards {inhibiting building walls of boxes}, instead of {making navigating them easier}.

[@SirBuzzKillington]

Your's was the first YT channel I ever subscribed to, possibly 12 years ago. Missed your contributions during your injury hiatus, but very glad you came back. Your quality is right back to what it used to be. Time for some more mouse videos? They still remain your most popular ones, oddly.

[@DylanClarkSallee]

I love seeing how a master can work with construction lumber to make an amazing and functional piece. Nice job!

[@leifhietala8074]

I went through a period of making wall-sized shelving units similar to this. Extremely lightweight and inexpensive and once I had made a full-sized plywood jig for laying out parts, ridiculously fast to make. Held together almost exclusively with glue; the finishing nails were just there to hold things together while the glue set up.

[@rdhunkins]

You have better lumber than we do. Ours is crappy SYP with huge growth rings. You can buy large boxes of fresh blueberries. On the other hand we have Jalapeños in Texas. Cheers, and thanks for the content!

[@andrewwhinney7581]

I like how your KZbin thumbnails have become a project in and of themselves, documented and all

[@matthiaswandel]

it helps to remember the thumbnail before the project is done, because the finished project doesn't always make the best thumbail

[@vaalrus]

Heh. My dad had similarly collected boxes from frozen meat and seafood. By luck they fit in a very comfortable fashion into Ikea Expidit/Kallax cubes. But I’m feeling very nostalgic, because back in the 70s I built a similar, if larger, rack like this for BankerBoxes that I kept all my childhood “Stuff” in.
