DIY Shop Towel Cabinet Build // Shop Organization

[@ShopNation]

Hey everyone! Lot's have asked for plans so I took the time to make some. Digital plans available here bit.ly/3ZXgjkg

[@Levy4U]

Looking good! Can you add a link to the paper roll you have hanging on the side to protect your table top? The ones i'm finding won't stop glue moisture and stain/paint from bleeding through. Thanks!

[@chrisbowie1438]

@@Levy4U I believe that is Rosin Paper, comes in a long roll at most home centers.

[@Eric.Mercado]

Who could argue with way faster and no need for dust collection as you said? 🤷 Badass karate chop my friend! 😂 😂 😂

[@damonshodrock9417]

I bought the plans and built it. I am impressed with the finished product! Thank you.

[@ShopNation]

Glad you liked it!

[@thomasrobey9851]

Shop idea for extension cords......ready GO!

[@billyspears3828]

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@campingwithchristine238]

Both my guy and I have separate shops. His shop is tractors, painting tractors or trucks, tractor repair/rebuild, combine work and occasionally a warm space for me to work on wood projects, furniture or vintage camper restoration. My shop is mostly camping, project building, home improvement, gardening and wood projects. We both have the need for paper towels, rags and gloves! I am a re-user so I have a crap ton of odd lumber. I tend not to buy plans as I would have to have all the same type of material. I like to see ideas and wing it. I LOVE French cleats too!!! Nothing should be hung on a wall without one! Thanks for the video and ideas! NOTE: what I would buy is the paper towel dowel holders and spacers, but I will make them out of wood..

[@dhyde9207]

45 degree ramp blocks. Optional, but BRILLIANT. Just awesome.

[@calebbed24]

Enjoyed this one! Probably going to do this and add a spot on the other side for a pump bottle of orange hand cleaner.

[@sandyfils7220]

Or hand sanitizer the jumbo size🙌

[@fcschoenthal]

Great idea, thanks. I use all the same towels, but use both plain white paper and blue shop towels. I'll have to figure out a way to incorporate a second roll holder into it. - Chris

[@heystarfish100]

Always a big problem I never considered fully. Thanks for sharing your idea. Nice video as always.

[@roncar1565]

Nice job Trav

[@nomark1978]

love your jobs.. i think your jigsaw skills are amazing!!

[@robing4566]

That’s one helluva nice shop. Mine is a closet next to that! Love it.

[@wildbill23c]

Excellent idea, thanks. I need to do something very similar out in my shop, always needing towels, rags, gloves, etc. This is a great shop must have, otherwise they all get tossed around the shop and never where they were when you last saw them. That cabinet can easily be modified to accommodate different items too, excellent.

[@kevingeorgiades4879]

Your shop is coming together nicely. Great new addition.

[@jeromelongmuir9838]

I enjoyed you shop projects very much,thanks for your efforts

[@jasonf9762]

This is my first video for Shop Nation. Great project and I will be back!

[@mozes42]

This is one of those projects that if you’re gonna build one, might as well build two at the same time!

[@UNKN0WN_YT]

Damn. I was just screwing around with rags and thinking "these all need to go in the same spot". Also, I like the woodpecker "addition". I have a "woodpecker wall" on my french cleats. I'll have it up once I finally get everything going.

[@gerryblohowiak9183]

Nice project and first time viewer. I would leave the slots open to push rags down when they get hung up.

[@ShopNation]

That’s a great suggestion, I’ve gotten that one a couple times!

[@Rusty_ok]

Got to build one of these as it is a nearly perfect solution to my basket of chaos with rags mixed in.

[@matthewwalpole2649]

Great video. Will definitely be building this soon

[@turkeycreekknives133]

Like your DIY storage items I built the same roller holder for construction paper used when doing glue ups for segmented builds roll off what you need and I do as you did just reload paper back onto the roll use it again as needed 👍

[@mplussant]

Worthwhile, yet modest project,...almost an afterthought...bet it gets a lot of use...thx

[@barryroberts6470]

Great video and yes i am one of those people who has a roll of paper, and a box of gloves sitting there catching dust, along with my box of plasters (band aid) as well. Thanks for the idea, i have seen similar but this one is spot on. Barry (ENG)

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Awesome cabinet. Much fancier than my setup. My wife has a cat so I get cat litter buckets. Hinged lid and rectangular. I cut a 4" circle in the lower face of the bucket to pull the rags out. I stick the bucket on a shelf or hang from the handle depending on where I need it.

[@ShopNation]

Hey that works too! Pretty creative

[@jameshaulenbeek5006]

You always do awesome work I got excellent ideas from you maybe call it a shop despencer for all your towels and paper towel holders

[@tonynunez75]

Love this guy he is straight and professional easy-to-understand step-by-step instructions can't get any better

[@TheVideoGameVault]

Finally, 1st! This is what I like about this channel most, everything you build is something I want to build too. The bigger maker channels have cool stuff and fun to watch but I'd never build 90% of it.

[@Gehlleny]

MADC0DER so true!!!! So many of my old favs have been going that route. All he has done til now is stuff I wanna do!!!

[@OU81TWO]

What do you mean you don't want to build a giant shop and a band saw mill?

[@Gehlleny]

OU812 😂😂😂 I wonder who you can be talking about!?!! I guess I’m not there yet! 😆

[@pbranshj2678]

Just keep your videos and narranting keep coming. Really enjoying watching your stuff. And so much greet tools in the states.... and cheap (in relation to here in Denmark)

[@0billyjack]

Market it as the "SRD cabinet!" Works for me. Thank you for the great ideas for shop makeup and storage!

[@davidkenagy8706]

I liked the project and the video. Since you asked for feedback....In my shop, I use gloves and paper towels, but also wax paper (not enough rags for three boxes). My cloth rags are uniform, and used for applying or wiping stain (so I don't need three separate boxes). When I use paper towels, (as you said) my hands are already covered in water, paint or stain. So grabbing the paper roll to rip off one is a problem. With wax paper, I tear off small pieces, to keep glue off the clamps and workbench. So my ideal rack would have: - Two or more rolls, but restrained (slightly) to make them easier to tear off just one. Maybe add an edge to cut off the wax paper piece - One (or no) box for cloth towels - Keep the glove box as you didThe 3-D printed parts are (sort of) cheating, as few of us have these. Routing that "L"-shaped channel for the roll bar(s) would be fair, though.

[@Awesomemomy]

Looks great! I' d like one for my kitchen ... I would use it for my tea towels, cloths and sponges etc ! I have to convince my brother to build me one.

[@richardfowler3254]

I would build one for you. I am looking for thing to do if I ever get free time :-) I bet I will be making a couple of these to install at both of my daughters homes...

[@lathropedition]

How am I just now discovering your channel?!? It’s the holy grail of diy

[@ShopNation]

Wow thanks!

[@ericrickert3045]

The nitrile gloves box slot is a great idea. I will adapt this for my shop

[@chrisanthony144]

Good job Shop nation and I'm now subscribed!

[@davidbabin387]

Extremely nice.....They say......necessity is the mother of all invention!!! That is an extremely useful product.....Thank you for making a video on it, and sharing it....Well done!!

[@tymecop]

Liked everything except the paper towel holder. I can make everything except the 3D printing! Keeping things light and Humorous is a great touch as well... Keep up the good work.

[@wildbill23c]

LOL, yep same here...so I had to scrap the plans to make one of these because I don't have a 3D printer....I'll pickup the plans again when I have a 3D printer, then I'll just 3D print the whole cabinet HAHA!!

[@jac_builtWoodworks]

@@wildbill23cI don't have a 3D printer either but I made them with plywood, a forstner bit and a chisel. You don't need a 3D printer. I'm sure a hardware store might also have something similar.

[@wildbill23c]

@@jac_builtWoodworks I was just going to cut some slots in some scrap wood to insert a dowel, but the 3D printer would be a fun tool to have otherwise LOL.

[@elrerex255]

Simple and cool project. As I am much more simple minded, less equiped, and lazy, I may use PVC tubes cut to serve as the roll holder. Thank you.

[@graywolf4986]

Love it too! Will add a bay to mine for the lint free t-shirt rags I also use for finishing. Plan to make mine "double wide" and add a roll of regular paper towels. Also thinking of adding a water less hand cleaner dispenser under the gloves dispenser.

[@ShopNation]

Great ideas!

[@the-handy-fixer]

Awesome project!

[@jcdosmann]

Very cool idea. I think I might make one of those next rainy day I get :-) One piece of advice that someone gave me once that made me happy was to slow down the router if it's burning your piece. Less heat that way.

[@fawkesbox2591]

It's a shop rag caddy! Definitely need to build me one of dem!

[@glenwatridge1771]

My China. I dig this thang

[@ChrisSmith-zv1vc]

Awesome job!

[@rodpotts2666]

I have been thinking about doing something with all my rags lately, I cut a hole in a coffee can that was ok ok but cheesy. I have found the answer thanks to you, building one this week. Thanks for a great video. New to the channel,on board brother.✌️

[@gixerman01]

Looks good!

[@frankgarcia9350]

Entertaining and a nice project

[@luisaocastellano3428]

GOOD JOB 👍

[@stevewalker7822]

Really neat idea and build. You hit it out of the park.

[@johnnyreagan1]

Great video as always! Will be printing the paper towel holder. Will be using it at my locksmith shop (trying to achieve shop greatness there also). Will be building this as I am constantly looking for rags when working in my shop. Thanks Travis and have a great day!

[@MrMustang1973]

-Very practical. Just what I need to make for the garage shop!

[@erikschannel]

This popped up as a suggested video for me and I thought this project was genius so I hit the subscribe button and I will be looking at more of your videos for inspiration. Once I get my electrician to run power to my shed will definitely be building one of these. Thanks

[@graywolf4986]

Barry Roberts comment below has inspired me to consider a small first aid cabinet for band-aids and antiseptic ....

[@mehlsmountaingarage]

Love this! I will be copying this build for my Mountain Garage!

[@Marcus_Caius]

Well done!

[@AMAZING5355]

Thanks for sharing Travis, my next "to do" at the weekend, good job... Regards from Aguascalientes México!! Keep in trucking!!!!

[@richardlively1492]

Nice build I'll be using this myself thank you!

[@sandrajacobson917]

Simple idea. Well executed. Nicely done!

[@kenluning909]

Another nice compact usable storage unit.

[@stephenbreazeale8179]

This looks like something I will need to build. The only addition I would make is a place for waterless hand cleaner. I use Joe's Hand Cleaner (available on Amazon). I started using Joe's because the container hangs upside down. It turns out to be a great waterless cleaner. A hook under the latex gloves would be the only thing to add.

[@chaddgiesing3245]

Great build! Now I need to find time to build me one.

[@mavrick561]

Making this for sure! Good use of scraps.

[@ramonocasio9573]

Great job.

Oh Yeah Mark Forged All The Way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@fixitwithzim]

Nice project man, simple and effective

[@MikeDrasher]

Perfect... my next project right here!

[@BrianFox]

Love it. I work in a Hospital and the only thing I am go into do differently is the glove holder will lye flat on a shelf. When the glove box is full it works great mounted like yours. However when it is 1/2 full or less gloves fall out and hit the floor.

[@waynea.9083]

Can't wait to get the extra junk out of my garage to make room for some of your designs!

[@GurnIII]

Just added this to my "To Do" list for my shop! Great idea, thank you.

[@jakesplace9721]

In efforts to organize my shop (which is a freakin’ disaster), I have made clamp storage and cordless tool storage. This will be a perfect next project in making my work space workable!

[@ruffneckranch]

Love it! Definitely want to incorporate this in my garage and get rid of the ridiculous old drum i keep rags in now.

[@jessjulian9458]

I love the project. Heck, I love all your projects. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Nice, like it. Great sense of humour too... "I get asked that... never" Haha 🤣

[@tonytillman316]

Nicely done man. For sure making this for my new shop.

[@rickculpepper709]

Good job, we love your work down here in south ga

[@glen748]

Great build. I think I will build one also. With a couple changes I am going to put a hook below the gloves to hold my hearing protection so I don't have to look for those also. And I am going to make the entire front plexiglass. Otherwise great idea.

[@ShopNation]

Nice! I like the hook idea, I've been trying to figure out what to put there...

[@ericdalbert133]

Very Usefull Build indeed ! Nice One
