How to build the best Custom Caulking Storage | Custom Tool Storage Buildout

Very nice, Lee! Thanks for sharing.

Your welcome! Thanks for tuning in and leaving a comment Tim! 😀 Great to hear from you!

I’m curious about using the torpedo level rather than using relative measurements on the van. I mean, there seems to be a pile of variables that would render using the torpedo level in this circumstance inaccurate. Floor level, suspension, tire pressure, body stance, door mounting and door hardware action.

[@jlr1487]

So true, @5:02, we see a level being used, assuming it was used properly, the van and/or the van door was not level, so the top rack looks totally out of whack

Exactly

[@guido1534]

This guy clearly doesn't know what he is doing. I wouldn't let him build anything in my home

[@matthewthehandyman7406]

Very nice!

[@handymanjourney]

Thanks Matthew, I appreciate it! How do you go about storage in your business?

[@matthewthehandyman7406]

@@handymanjourney I've got a small Subaru hatchback that I'm using to carry all my tools and materials around. It's filled to the brim. I mostly use Milwaukee's Packout system to help keep things organized. I need to periodically clear out the car, re-organize my tools and materials, and put everything back in. Can't wait to have a truck/trailer/van one day!

[@handymanjourney]

That's cool that you are using a Subaru! What's your next plan? Do you want to get a truck and trailer or a van?

[@matthewthehandyman7406]

@@handymanjourney It's a tough choice. I think I would rather have the truck/trailer combo so that I can use the truck for personal excursions.

[@handymanjourney]

Ya, as a solo guy I think truck and trailer is a great choice!

Hi

[@guido1534]

Wait until this guy figures out what happens when you use 2 clamps!

[@dixiehandyman]

Never heard of a band saw? I mean, I would have used a band saw. Quicker and safer.

[@handymanjourney]

Don't have one, when would you use it during this job to make it better? Would love to hear!

[@dixiehandyman]

The entire job. You wouldn't need to work that skilsaw with such finesse. It's not really designed for that. Even a jig saw would have been better.

[@lightworker4512]

@@dixiehandyman I agree. He has talent using his skilsaw but the best and most productive saw for this job is a bandsaw.

[@qlifenow]

I would like to know size of triangles used. Instead of a little trial and error.

[@NunYaaBizz]

I just keep all my caulking in a bucket, please don't judge me

[@handymanjourney]

😂😂 no judgement here! I've been there but I find organization makes things so much better! Makes it more efficient and keeps things cleaner!

[@NunYaaBizz]

@@handymanjourney yea its my biggest flaw. I do good work, good customer service, good reviews but my work van is a mess

[@NunYaaBizz]

@@handymanjourney they say geniuses are all messy that's how I make myself feel better

[@handymanjourney]

😂😂 sometimes it's hard to stay organized especially when your busy! Do you have any plans on building out the van?

[@NunYaaBizz]

@@handymanjourney honestly not really. I just need to be more disciplined cause I have small compartments for everything, but when I'm tired which is most days I just throw everything in the van and say I'll deal with it later
