[@Niels_tenDam]

Can you also show how you 3D model the designs. That would be interesting.

[@OhMyLaurens]

Sketchup is what a lot of people use. Very intuitive and easy to learn.

[@stevenking1981]

That what I wanted ask also. How u Design your Stuff

[@greatgrumb]

@@AnDy-of3mj I'm quite sure he probably doesn't want to learn how to use fusion 360, just how it is done. I maybe wrong but that is what I took from the comment

[@The.Talent]

@@AnDy-of3mj as someone who literally does 3D modelling for a living, I personally would love to see specifically how ALEX does modelling. Everyone has their own process and Alex’s work looks so clean that I’m sure he’s got something going on that is unique to him.

[@javomal]

great video idea how you design and use sketchup or any other program but focusing on how you get the idea to take all the measurements so it perfectly fits, not just showing how to use a 3d design program

[@Nik_Styn]

I would love to see your design process and how you came up with the ideas.

[@flippingwoodforcash9130]

I have no experience I just go for it

[@jeftesantiago]

You are not the only one. Would be interesting to see like a behind the scenes of a project like this. Nice idea!

[@WildAcresFarms]

I third this motion! Let’s spend an episode on something as “boring” as designing a drill bit organizer. I have the 3D printer and basic skills in fusion. One on 3D printed parts from measuring tape to finished product, and one on the process to mentally picture, sketch, then dimension out the laptop arm for the CNC? Would be my favorite videos you’ve done.

[@MrAMyatt]

Yes, a longer behind the scenes video (even on a second channel) would be awesome. Something that goes through the process of taking measurements and designing in Fusion.

[@ebikehacker]

@@flippingwoodforcash9130 just been on Your channel you need to clean up like this lad it looks like you have no sponsor yet I done like the cnc you have made I reckon I can make it too I love the wood carving as well. Did any one else have a spy in on that cnc

[@FearsomeWarrior]

I do not get tired of your shop organizing projects. Maybe throw in one totally different project for every five shop videos. Make a cute dinosaur or a viking ship. Would definitely love a story time of your 3D printing experience and how you learned to print with different filament and software. Even under one minute would be amazing for me. Love your style of filming and narrating.

[@valentin0110]

Hey I just love your channel! I think it would be great if you incorporate your design process a little bit. Especially the designing of the plywood structures would be interesting :) Cheers!

[@gerardofficial]

you should make a video on your 3d printing , like filaments you use, some of your settings, nozzle sizes and some tips and tricks from your experience 3d printing over the years

[@KimbrellBrad]

I must crown you "The King of Organization!" Just great stuff there! And appreciated seeing how you adapted after the small error in design...that ALWAYS happens in my shop LOL. Thanks for all of your great ideas!

[@laggmonkei]

Now you only have to worry about bumping into the computer stand every time you bring in materials and large stuff into the workshop. :) I would fold it up or put it on the other side of the machine, added bonus there is being able too sit down in the couch and control the cnc.

[@flippingwoodforcash9130]

I don’t need a laptop on my Cnc mate check my videos 26/27

[@flippingwoodforcash9130]

I run with out a laptop check my video 26/27 and

[@astrydlilium7501]

Usually I would have said that a metal notebook mount would be much better but yours is really a good piece of work, so smart and stable and I'm so envious that I must write this comment.

[@marsgizmo]

Love the upgrades to the workshop, with each project is becoming more interesting 😎

[@brunofonseca9686]

Alex Chappel is the apex of organization amongst the makers. It's so damn satisfying to watch the solutions that he comes up with.

[@buzlamouche]

The small wood part on the left magicaly desappear at 6:29 ! Alex is incredible ! such skills.

[@legitimatehuman1932]

Hello people. I came back from the year 2067 to tell you that Alex is still trying to organize his tools and optimize his working space. He is currently at the 137th iteration of his 3d printed boxes. His laptop broke not too long after building the stand.

[@ErraticPerfectionist]

😂

[@minsoonwee2377]

He went on to make a toilet with a 3d printed toilet bowl....

[@MikeKobb]

That print time lapse at 3:18 was super cool.

[@Produkt_R]

You're workplace is like a wet dream.

[@artursmihelsons415]

Nice update for boxes.. Now You have a collet holder..👍 Cnc routers upper shelf, who's now blocked, can be upgraded with two drawers.. 😉

[@ericsimpson4045]

That laptop rotating table is awesome! Great work!

[@joshuabooth8853]

You are the master of workshop organization! Say if you are trying to put wood into slots and it's a snug fit u can use candle wax to make it easier to slide wood into slots. Just take the candle while not lit and rub the wax on the edges of the wood that'll be sliding against each other.

[@brentfowler2317]

Brother you are a bada$$. This video, and the 3 builds you did, one word "awesome!" That laptop stand so the best idea. And I really like the hardware/tool storage in the drawer. And those bins you made which I've have seen before are great use of space too.

[@BuddyCrotty]

lol @9:20 "So now all these screws are super easily accessible" ....pulls out some crazy screwing contraption I've never seen before in my entire life to screw it in =O

[@gametec_live]

Your a monster! just putting a 3D printer on the dusty floor! 3:10 The atillery sidewinder x1 is a nice printer and deserves at least a table!

[@ryanwells7596]

I like that you showed the screwups too. For the laptop I suggest you use some cable ties / tidier of some kind so you don't get caught on the laptop wires and also have some kind of 'lock' to hold the laptop in place and stop is sliding, like some kind of friction mat or raised corners

[@hyundaiverna]

Also instead of having the computer directly tied to the CNC, you can consider using a Raspberry Pi with Octoprint (or whatever applies to CNC machines) so you can remotely send the info and have the pieces cut. Now if you stay with the laptop stand, and in order to make it not that stiff for rotation, you can apply some paste wax on the mating surfaces. Heck, even candle wax will do! Just rub it in the mating surfaces and it will be smoother with not much play

[@reboerio]

I already think he sends them remotely to this laptop. The laptop was already stationairy. I believe he uses his desktop to do the design and CAM and then starts the program from the laptop

[@Zackmex]

You should make a course in Skillshare about getting started in 3D printing. Great video, as usual.

[@karimaljurdi5570]

you always impress me with your creativity 👑❤❤

[@flippingwoodforcash9130]

He is good

[@Borgedesigns]

Sorting collets is so satisfying, there's just something enjoyable about seeing all the sizes nearly laid out

[@Griffin12536]

But missing ones is infuriating.

[@FinlandApollo]

Tip, add silicone or rubber mat on top of that laptop tray :P Prevents sliding!

[@elenavitali9818]

It's so cute how he goes hahaha! He is truly having with he's working and it shows. Sometimes he looks like a mad scientist with all experiments and his funny laugh. It's so satisfyjng to see all his organization boxes. He organizes the organization. Lol.

[@G0DeSs76]

I so love EVERYTHING you do! You are such an inspiration!

[@dennisdekoster1187]

I love these organizing videos. And Alexandré, you can use candle wax to lubricate the moving parts. Found this tip once with those wooden Ugears kits. @ 12:30 💪🏻

[@makethepart]

I love how you mix fabrication processes to get to awesome results. Fantastic video Alexandre!

[@azcarius]

Idk how 3d printed organizer get my attention so much

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty nice work, Alexandre! 😃 Just a small tip: put some kind of abrasive in the notebook stand, so it won't fall off. 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Linuxdirk]

I really love the boxes system you created!

[@rodneysmith1750]

Yet another fantastic and enjoyable video!

[@berendprinsen9148]

Your awesome, tnx man for the entertainment

[@Behaviorist1]

Du motiverer alltid Alexandre !!

[@jeanchapman1301]

If that laptop is dedicated to the CNC, I’d double stick tape it to the mount so that it doesn’t get knocked off when you inevitably bump the mount.

[@clutch16b]

Love your videos, they're very entertaining. Keep up the good work Alex!

[@MykelAlvis]

Suggestion about your CNC machine would be to add removable casters to allow you to float it away from the wall where it's necessary.

[@bobd.]

You Sir, and a Master at creating organizing and storage solutions.

[@jgalvezluna]

Me parece increíble lo que haces! Bravo !

[@MrKtmstu]

Great video thanks, will definitely use your storage system!

[@cayde7469]

Your videos are super high quality an fun to watch, keep up the great work man! 👍

[@MrGc6asl]

What I found incredibly helpful to add to my drillbit organizers is small inserts in the bottom where I could embed small magnets so the bit gets hold in the slot. This way if you bump the box they don't fall out or shift.

[@marcosgonzalez8624]

Awesome, as always !

[@rizalardiansyah4486]

Really like that swinging table design! Good work!

[@atchipmunk]

Found your channel recently and definitely love what you do! I agree with some of the other comments though...would be great to see some of your design process. I recently got a 3D printer and am trying to learn as much as I can. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Zachary3DPrints]

Oh wow, that is looking great!

[@lesumsi]

Soon your 3D printed boxes become industry standard! At least for KZbin makers :) The good old Alexandre Chappel Assortment Boxes, short A.C..... oh wait!

[@johnbeeck2540]

Congrats on 300K Subs!

[@speedyMaldo]

Absolutely love your videos, and got myself a 3d printer a while back because of you(just got a new one too because the old one broke on me) but I still haven't designed anything myself in Fusion or anything. Hoping you would be willing to take some time to maybe make a video (or video series) that would go through you designing some of your favorite organizational prints, and throwing out helpful tips along the way.

[@berendprinsen9148]

Great video! Tnx

[@steffen1182]

Kudos for your printed boxes. As soon as my printer is up and running again I will introduce a similar system for my Schäfer boxes.

[@caitlyn407]

Love your designs! I was wondering if you could show us your design process from ideation to the final product!

[@maitreyapathak4733]

hey man, love your videos and how to the point they are with a touch of humor and also a reality where you show what did not work out, I would love to see a video explaining the software you use and courses you recommend on woodworking on skillshare! peace

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Great job

[@aliciadupuy9228]

The title of your video is basically the solution to all problems in my life. . Now I just need a 3d printer....

[@zackmccauley2266]

Could build a NUC/Tiny PC vesa mount and remote into that for CNC control. Hard mounted, out of the way, cable managed, etc.

[@RomaMixRu]

10:00 О наконец-то восстановленная техника в работе пригодилась.

[@ronytroche]

You have rapidly become one of my favorite content creators in YT, keep the great job!

[@3dpro666]

Great Video Alex😀

[@ringlex6937]

Nice bro.I liked it so much

[@JaceTLittle]

With all these shop projects, do you ever make anything not for the shop? Great work. Like always. Keep it up

[@1Nolimited]

Nice done love the boxes you have made :-)

[@akasthien]

That laptop stand/arm :o this is becoming the best organised workshop i have ever seen

[@naqibullahbinabdulalim7413]

Incredible

[@eliasgrav9894]

As always very engaging video :3

I love your videos !!

[@susenteo7795]

Can’t wait to see what you are going to do with the 3d printer at the back 2:38

[@whisperino]

Marie Kondo will be proud of you

[@tonverra]

Graphite powder would work great as a lubricant for the pivot

[@HawxAnimator]

I'm intrigued what you're going to do once you've built everything you can for your workshop

[@darren990]

Too cool

[@martijnvanderhaven6764]

Have you tried putting the drawer with all your accessories in the dead space above the plywood storage? Or would that not fit? I think that would be even cleaner than it is now! Love what you did, it looks awesome!

[@zahor0269]

A project idea you might like would be to build a small divider between the CNC and your couch? Im sure you dust extraction system is great but doesn't get everything, so a small divider could between the CNC and the couch could make a big difference. You could try making it a try-fold or quad-fold or maybe even a like a pull down shade or something that pulls out of the wall. Cheers!

[@FrozenThai]

I imagine the shelf made it more solid then just the corner struts.

[@ShopNation]

*Standing Applause*

[@narzedziowniawbudowie]

nice, very nice !

[@BLBlackDragon]

Looking fantastic. Makes me want to go out and lease a warehouse space, so I can start building my own amazing maker space.

[@samp-w7439]

For the spinny part of the table, put some paste wax on there! It will make it way smoother!

[@CornelleJ]

Paste wax on wood to wood spinning bit to make it smoother

[@smg604]

These are nice! It'd be cool to have a website or program that would let anyone remix their own customized boxes to plunk in whatever bits and pieces they have (e.g. for drill bits).

[@heropusillanime2129]

Best satisfying video

[@kblock1738]

3d print a jig that will hold that chair perfectly straight, then drill down the backrest breaks so you can epoxy some threaded rod in there

[@KeithOlson]

Nice build! The biggest change I'd make is to put the laptop arm on the *other* side of the CNC rig so it would be *completely* out of the path that you most use. (I would also put a second joint on it for more positioning options, but that's just me.)

[@julianmcglothin3822]

if you want to lubricate the computer table i have found that bees wax is a great long term lubricant for wood apposed to graphite

[@magfal]

Openscad would be brilliant for generating a lot of these parts.

[@GuilhermeSabel]

adoro esse canal!!! se eu não morasse em um país tão inflacionado, eu teria uma oficina igual a sua

[@GuilhermeSabel]

aqui no brasil, o sonho de uma impressora 3d, para se conquistar leva anos... infelizmente...

[@flippingwoodforcash9130]

I love how clean his work shop is you should see my mess lol

[@peterdenham]

One day I hope to have a workshop as well equipped and organised like this.

[@krowven]

Love the outfit 8:47 very festive! 🎃 I wonder how beeswax would work with your wood pivot there? 12:26

[@twarit24]

new videoooo les goooooo!!!!!

[@boomerangfreak]

Damn all those CMT cutters are looking BLING! As for the chair I assume some nice birch plywood should solve the problem with the grain direction in the back supports. Sure you'll lose the solid wood vibe but I think it'd look pretty nice in plywood.

[@brianemunroe]

Another great video and I love the organizing system you came up with - question though: How is the PLA surviving day to day shop use? Would you still recommend it or should I (we) consider PETG? I'm about to buy some plans and will start printing soon!

[@MyTubeSVp]

How do you create the clip at 3:19 ? That’s really cool. I have the same printer and would like to do that too !

[@arussellturner]

For your bit box, where the bits sit in grooves on the lid, it’d be cool to have magnets imbedded to keep them in place.

[@fredmartinez933]

nice job..

[@AdanAVlog]

Hello! Good day to you I'm watching from Doha Qatar

[@lukaspfitscher8737]

U got a like for the gyroid infill struktur 🥳

Super.

[@karelmagnusson8733]

Hei. I'm a industrial mechanic. I would love it if you would make a series of organisers devoped for metal worker mechanics that would be sick I would definitely buy those prints.
