Good my friend

[@privateeye2490]

Make even more available room by storing the pot lids upside down on the pots so the handles don't stick up.

[@billopad9625]

Could you free up more space by swapping out the 2x4 and CA glue attaching a few 2mm magnets to the inside of the drawer and onto the divider so it’s held in place…? Just seems mad to store a lump of wood… unless it’s a pretend lump of wood that’s really a cash stash safe & then kudos my friend! 😜😂 Great builds mon frére! Bish bash bosh! 👍

[@mjkay8660]

always invert pan lids. its ezr

[@theoryofpersonality1420]

When storing the pot and lid together you can turn the lid upside down on the pot and get a couple of more inches of space. I know it's minimal but just a suggestion for those like me who have huge crawfish pots.

[@RWAllen-jx8gi]

Just a tip for pots and pan lids: Sometimes you can invert them on the pot/pan, and keep the right lid with the right pot. And in some cases, store smaller pots or pans on the lid.

[@calderart]

I love the rails that hang on the underside of the counter where you put the lids over the handle of each pot and slide the whole thing in and out. Awesome!

[@kenn1936]

that is what I do. then they can sit on top of each other.

[@susanrussell8195]

I never thought about storing about pan on top. That’s brilliant. I just invert the lids to store them in a shallower spot.

[@MamiSantana]

This is exactly how I use to store my cookware until a couple of weeks ago... I just got a new one and sadly the lids don't fit comfortably on the pots when inverted.

[@edewaal97]

You can also put two pans inside each other (one smaller than the other) than put the lid of the biggest pan upside down on top of it, and the lid of the smaller one normally on top of the upside down bigger lid. Most space efficient!

[@txag007]

Instead of the 2x4 at the back of the drawer, you could extend the sides of your organizer and have that be the stop. Then you have 1 extra area for a larger item like a long lighter!

[@KelseyDrummer]

Ooh that's a good idea!

[@pocketlint82]

Was thinking the same thing

[@JaneQPublic]

Good idea! He just lost space he was trying to maximize for a 2x4- confused me bc it seems counterproductive

[@glynnL]

Hollow out the 2x4 and it’s a secret compartment that everyone else thinks is wasted space

[@txag007]

@@glynnL heck yea! Like a false lid on it!

[@JessicaJLandi]

The "before" on the junk drawer was organized enough to be many people's "after"! But this "after" was amazing and the "I don't have any unused space in my drawers - you know what I mean" comment was worth watching the whole video to the end! Classic!

[@smithcry12]

Just finished making your upper cabinets and plan on doing the lowers for my garage shop and am thrilled with the first tip. It will be perfect for the slide out drawer in your miter saw plan, too!

[@CindyL4261]

OMG I love your sense of humor! Helps me remember to lighten up while working on my own projects. I plan to add all 3 of these to my kitchen. Thank you!

[@dcady1]

I'm so impressed with this project and the others of yours for which I have watched the video. You are skilled at what you do and quite creative at solving storage issues that most of us seem to suffer from. Thank you!

[@99xara99]

Awesome! Now those are actually fairly easy to do, simple and useful for basically every kitchen out there. I appreciate it!

[@ronadkins8997]

Completely enjoyable video as always! Love the jokes, movie clips and most of all the build! I will be here for every video you put out. Thank you so much ❤️

[@Jewels5241]

Oh my goodness I love these projects! That pull out shelf add-on is GENIUS! My husband and I are about to purchase our first home and I’m totally going save these ideas! I currently use command hooks to hold my pot lids because I’m in a rental but I absolutely love the wooden holder (also don’t have to worry about the plastic hooks breaking after some time). Great video! New subscriber!

[@patmaurer8541]

Thank you! As an inexperienced DIY homeowner, I actually think I could tackle some of these. Well done, sir. Look forward to learning more!

[@johnwkomdat]

I’ve found metal files to be the best way to trim off excess edge banding. Thanks for the great video! I have been putting off kitchen projects like this, so it’s invigorating to see it done so simply.

[@myraj1448]

Wooow, thank you for this video. You are a great builder in organizing kitchen storage. I do love the slide over storage for pots and pans.

[@keeper6101]

1st project: Love the additional shelves. When I get my tiny house built, I'm going to ask for extra shelf leaves. 2nd project: Ingenious to have a pull out tray and added shelves on the tray. The lid holder on the door is awesome. I have my lids all jumbled together and your idea is much better.

[@robertkerby2581]

Wow, yet another exceptionally awesome set of design and build of organizational projects! I especially like the large cabinet slide out box addition! Well done, Brad!

[@KZa-cz8gb]

Love how you show every little detail. Unlike others that just verbally say them. Thank you so much.

[@BevJackson]

I love your videos! Besides giving me valuable information, you crack me up!!!!

[@inezaultman1850]

I appreciate your energy and that you have a definite script! Great projects!

[@susancowan9359]

Very cool, I love how you are so detailed in your directions and make it look fun and not as hard to tackle. Since we all know how frustrating it can be to want to redesign our spaces without having to be a professional carpenter. I am new to your channel and look forward to watching more of your other videos. Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos for all of us. May God always Bless you with good health and prosperity in all you do.

[@apesord]

Cool projects, very useful and easy enough to build - great job and instruction!

[@randaharvey6214]

I love watching you. Great ideas with a great attitude! Thanks!!!

[@snakeeaterapc142]

Man I love the way you organized the drawers!! It has ALWAYS been one of my personal, biggest complaints about drawers with wasted space and disorganization. Drives me nuts when you open a drawer and it looks like a tornado went through it. I just wish I had all the tools you had to do it all. Great videos!!!

[@howardcrane5902]

Great ideas. Thanks! Turn the lids over on the pots (handle down) and you can lower the upper shelf. Cheers.

[@kenn1936]

that was one absolutely AWESOME video. I often wondered how you got the top layer to slide back and forth in the drawer. now I know. I have 2 very deep drawers that can be utilised better, and I know just how to do it, thanks to you.

[@amyschaefer1671]

Love that you have fun and show us your mess ups!

The second project (extra shelves on roll out drawers) seem so perfect, it's one of those why didn't I think of that.

[@rosewood513]

I have used the edge banding and it makes the job look professional. Kreg sells a nice shelf pin hole jig. I made extra shelves on a bureau. Next I will be making those pot cover holders. Nice idea using the tape to adjust the drawer sections. Great video thanks. I will be watching more of your videos I like our ideas.

[@amandachilds5290]

Why I like a kitchen with mostly drawers instead of doors...much more useful and easy to get to things. But you came up with creative ideas to fix existing issues. Drawers cost more upfront but totally worth it in long run

[@reneesfoxynews6652]

I loved your video. I have been learning doing small projects and I want that pull out lower cabinet drawer!

[@laurenbeckerle7977]

A hack I stumbled upon myself, those undershelf shelf things. I think I got mine at the container store. It’s a wire rack shelf, has legs that slide over the shelf above. It’s PERFECT for holding water bottle and lids. The depth just happens to be about the same as my cabinet. Holds all the water bottles, laying down, and room for the lids on one size. One of my more brilliant organization moves!

[@LiviaPewtress]

This is brilliant!🎉🎉 I really want to build something now. You wouldn’t think so, but I totally geek over power tools and building with the wood makes my heart sing Thank you for sharing your wisdom

[@LiviaPewtress]

did you see the account that is trying to be you? thanks for removing the comment

[@greatfun7316]

Honestly, when I have a bad day, I just watch one of your videos, and my smile is coming back. You are soooo funny! (to be more honest, I'm also a woodworker and I adore your videos. Very well explained!)

[@justinjacobson2926]

The pull out lower cabinet is something my house needs. For drawers I am using a 3d printer and the gridfinity system.

[@kevinbetts6254]

Great job Brad! The last comment was hilarious!!! Love the small movie clips as well. It adds nicely to your work.

[@karinerness4165]

[@catherinekilgour2563]

1st project: Looks great as long as your shelves are not too deep or you will have problems getting the items at the back out. We have a cupboard that is the same depth as our fridge and getting the items from the back is already hard enough. For shallow cupboards it looks great. 3rd project: Love this and have already done it for my cutlery draw. For my bottom layer I did four sections that go all the way from the front to the back of the drawer so no gap at the back to fill in. I need to do another set for my second drawer down and maybe a lift out one for the bigger 3rd drawer with all the rolls of tinfoil and cling wrap. 2nd project: I just can't decide what I think of this. Every time you moved it I was worried about the items sliding off the shelves. Probably a me issue. I do like how you rounded the corners, such a small detail can make such a big difference to the end appearance.

[@deni9626]

Nice projects and I love your sense of humor.

[@Jimmyjoe5757]

i like your vids sir... once you cut that little piece to complete drawer organizer and said " lets see how it fits'' fist though in my mind was that Jim Carrey like a glove saying and it played.. bravo brother that was awesome!

[@PapaDan]

Gonna do these this winter. Thanks

[@lanceravenswood807]

Love your thoughts out loud, so funny and true. Great video

[@SamLopez11]

Wow, at first I thought that last project was going to be a little "extra", but it turned out great and really spruced up the look and functionality of that drawer!

[@micknolen]

I really like these projects. The last one could be taken up a notch by making the top try base out of clear plexi instead of 1/4 ply. That way you can see everything on the bottom with moving the top tray

[@mariettakristoffersen701]

You need to hire him, hahaha!

[@gerhardpeter3011]

A Man dont wanna built things??? No Workingroom? No Tools??? No Insperation??? Sry for this

[@michaelclark6547]

Good luck. Hire someone else

[@00bsdude]

​@@gerhardpeter3011 I work in manufacturing for a living, so similar boat. To be honest, so tired from working on the stuff at work all day, can't even begin to fathom doing it for my own home haha. Ideal way would be to have him book a few days off and do it at home instead of work during his normal work hours. Trying to make him do it while he's also working full-time will lead to resentment

[@ummm8511]

Start doing it yourself. He'll help you finish

[@28Cryptic743]

I built something similar for our kitchen lower cabinet with pull out drawer base, but instead of building a shelf to put on top of the bottom one I built a second pull out drawer at the half way mark so that I could put another full depth drawer platform for other pots

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thats another great option. Wanted to keep this super simple without needs to install more slides, but that's probably the better solution

[@OmANnIe]

[@jennpaul69]

Thanks for the inspiration for my next wood laser project!

[@CrankyOtter]

Always up for some edge banding 😊, but I suggest putting the extra shelves lower. Put the lowest shelf 5-8” up - it’s eye level for many, and means short folks can use 2 shelves without ladders or pulldowns. Use the low shelf for short things like mugs, snacks, your bins, or plates. Allow more height for the next shelf up (put the stacked spice rack there - and add a lazy susan for oils & sauces). Then the top shelves that the short folks can’t reach are for low frequency items (like that bundt pan)

[@jatdesign4495]

As an interior designer and have designed kitchens kudos. I love these ideas

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

[@seennema7732]

Made the pull out drawer for my wife..thank you for the inspiration

[@caedengoering]

Just bought a house, and I'm making some small storage tweaks as we go. I've mainly been buying storage and drawers from IKEA, Walmart, Amazon, etc. This has given me new motivation to do these projects myself. I've been a little overwhelmed by the time and energy required. While I know these projects will take time - you made this look easy and fun! Looking forward to taking back our kitchen space. It is relatively small - but these hacks will really open it up. Thanks so much for sharing. Pro safety tip - you probably should wear a mask instead of inhaling all of that dust, lol.
