[@makenchips]

Yes! 3D printing

[@brianhdenver7551]

“The person that works with their minds must rest with their hands” is brilliant. I’m on a computer all day working in CAD, and wood working has been a really healthy hobby to create something tangible.

[@wittworks]

thats why!

[@theepebble214]

I've been working on sewing & piano lately, I end up on Revit all days as well and its super nice to see a tangible change in the evenings.

[@bluedragontoybash2463]

[@WoodworkingBusinessmen]

Yes, a video on 3D printing for woodworkers would be awesome! 💥

[@clcphoto]

Agree. I really want to start designing things but I'm currently stuck on figuring out Fusion360

[@ExTexan]

+1 on the 3D printer video. 👍🖖

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

There are plenty already. Try 'Darren's workshop' - he has done dozens of videos on this topic. Many of my own toolholders are printed, and I use printed trays for components, color coded to the size. Tool handles, jigs, clips, there is no end...

[@ryanbrooks3241]

Witt, I second this. I am a beginner woodworker and have started incorporating project specific 3D printed jigs (mostly router templates). Would love to see a video from you on this. Keep up the great work!

[@jamescamper4906]

yes,yes,yes please

[@ryandury]

The only thing I disagree with is that you said you're not a real channel. You could argue that the smaller channels are actually more real than the larger ones :)

[@wittworks]

very true! I was saying "real" with sarcastic quotes

[@ryandury]

Cheers@@wittworks , love the content. Keep it up :)

[@Str8UpRevving]

IMO, seems like the big channels are just sponsor sell outs. If it works, more power to them. I just prefer to make things on a budget. And most of the time, the tools are budget friendly.

[@Segphalt]

The "real" channels turn into affiliate salesmen in a hurry and just get an unsubscribe from me.

[@Aaron-nj4ou]

Couldn’t agree more. My favorite part is when they tell me they are “unbiased” as their entire shop is covered in a specific brand.

[@OzzieOzwald]

I can really appreciate as a new wood worker, that this channel isn't a "you need to buy this and buy that" type of channel. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@wittworks]

Thanks 👍

[@kevola5739]

I luv my pegboard. My shop is constantly evolving and keeping things seen and not hoarded has made this constant evolution the most efficient at reorganizing. Pegboard 4 feet down from the 8 foot ceiling covers 3 out of 4 walls of my shop. I had to cover it with something so this made it look consistent in spite of things constantly moving. From building projects to staining lawn furniture to bike club meetings to snowblower tuneup with half a dozen neighbours to having a beer while sweeping up at days end. After 40 years in my shop putting everything on wheels, good lighting, and pegboard were 3 of my better decisions. Heating the shop was the absolute best decision I ever made. Buying a huge box of pegboard hooks from a shop shutdown sale still leaves me with hanging options.

[@kaymack5304]

My hyper fixation on organization means I could watch this all day. Genius!

[@christopherlamoureux8617]

It blows my mind that you have become so integral to the community. You've been brought up in every podcast that i listen to, in a positive way, yet you are a smaller channel... you shouldn't be. I appreciate you, we appreciate you. I think i can speak for all of us when I say that we are enjoying seeing your channel grow, and feel you deserve so much more.

[@wittworks]

Thanks! The massive debt I have taken off to pay for all these podcast mentions…it’s crushing…actually…I have no idea how it happened. Grateful though. 🙏

[@Shadoweclipse1386]

This is great. I too am a big fan of Mr. Savage's perspectives on shop infrastructure. He's quite intuitive and wise about how he organizes his space. I've been doing similar things, at times making a whole weekend around tool storage and cleaning up as well. The only thing I do really different from you is that when I make specific tool holders, I mount them to French cleats on my walls, so I don't have to think about where the tool storage goes in the moment too hard. You can always change things up at the drop of a hat. French cleats were a game changer for me.

[@AGlimpseInside]

What can I say but thank you. Your support is greatly appreciated. Also, what you’ve done in this video to me. Is the most fun part about setting up a shop. The trial and error finding customizable. Perfect little spaces for things. Absolutely love this.

[@wittworks]

I will not be a part of your french cleat system...ok...maybe a little...thanks for showing me the way

[@hansangb]

And "yes, please" on breaking down the 3D printing. It's a perfect compliment to shop greatness to borrow a phrase.

[@wittworks]

You got it!

[@FixtheGodofBiscuits]

A guide to 3D printing for woodworkers? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I'm interested in 3D printing, especially what it can do for home and shop organization, but I know absolutely nothing about it, and I've stayed on the fence about buying a printer because I'm afraid of investing a bunch of money into it, only to find that I should have bought X instead of Y. I'd love what you've done on the topic of woodworking, so I feel I could trust the thoughts and advice you'd include in a 3D printing guide.

[@TheRealPlato]

i am a novice to both woodworking and 3d printing. I paid $220 for Neptune 3 Pro, I am finding it useful and fun and infinitely easier than the options that I looked at in 2012 and 2020. The printer has good hardware, but I have some small complaints about its software. Bambu Labs is considered top of the line. Ankermake M5C is a sub-$500 option that (based only on youtube research) would be my pick if I wanted the cheapest printer that Just Works and is easy to operate. I use Blender for modeling. OnShape is probably better for you. MakersMuse has an excellent video titled "Selecting a free 3D CAD option" discussing differences and has modeling tutorials too.

[@igoslomo]

I’m a 61yo new woodworker and I love your channel! And I love my new hobby… who’d have thought I’d discover a new hobby in my 60s??!! I’m struggling right now with organization so this video was very timely. Thank you. As for 3d printing? I’m dying to learn but am very intimidated - buuittttt probably won’t let that stop me. Would love a series on how a woodworker gets started with 3D printing.❤

[@ByHisGraceWeAreSaved]

53 here and recently discovered that I too love working with wood. Been buying tools one at a time for a couple years and I am at that place where I am completely unorganized and spend more time looking for things than I do working on things.

[@MrsAdiletta]

madly jealous of this shop - the tools, the cleanliness, the light, the organization!!

[@thomashendricks9774]

We just moved into a new house and I can have my own shop for the first time. I just purchased two sheets of Peg Board, because thats how I thought shops should look. All my friends have Peg Board, Peg Board is everywhere. However I think you convinced me to go your route. Thank you!

[@robinbirdj743]

@@thomashendricks9774 why not do both? I love the brown pegboard and bought a sheet cut into thirds before seeing this. I gave kits of space and will incorporate these ideas plus pegboards bc my mom passed and left me hooks :))

[@garymiller5937]

You just showed me some of the most genius storage ideas I've ever seen. I can't thank you enough!!! I too am a firm believer in using what you have instead of buying new. I guess I got that from my Dad, who saved every scrap of wood, etc. This is an awesome video and I give you a 5 star review. Thank you so much!! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@tangocharlie9291]

100% love this. I’m a graphic artist and I always have made custom shelves or my pencil cups, straight edges, etc, out of black foam core & push pins to secure them to whatever wall is in front of me. Everything I use frequently is RIGHT in front of me. Infrequently used stuff goes in drawers.

[@jesseelovaas]

Love it! This is exactly the reason I started watching woodworking KZbinrs. For amazing ideas like this for my shop.

[@onehappydawg]

I have my small shop somewhat organized…..one of the best feelings in the world is after I get through working on a project, when I hang everything back up and put everything back in its place, then vacuum up all the saw dust and blow all the remaining dust out with my air hose. Everything is organized and clean for the moment. It’s like a blank canvas and I’m ready to start creating again 😎

[@BigBadBaj71]

I decided to put this on in the background as I was waking up...I work third shift. Unfortunately been out of work for a while due to some as of yet unknown medical reason but I digress, I've been spending the time in the basement getting my old workbench / shop area in working order again. It's been about 10 years since I really used it. Life happens and it was always a place I could escape to, And I needed it now. It was hidden under 15 years of accumulation of now passed friends and family member's tools/stuff(some I had to look up online because I didn't know what it was or what it did). When you said "He who works with his mind must rest with his hands" I had to rewind it and listen again because that's what I've been doing my whole life but never heard it put to words. You've gained a new subscriber, not that I watch a lot but.... I've had to figure out ways to hang everything from the big floor beams overhead because the walls are made of the rock from the river 300 yd away and impossible to mount shelves or pegboard on.

[@saulgibson6135]

this is one of the best organization videos I've watched in quite a while. great ideas the entire way through where I don't just skip through the video. Left me wanting to start working with my hands

[@billyblackie9417]

These are really great tips and I'm organising my workshop putting everyday needed tools nearby and occasionally used tools further away. Trust me your channel is very real and in the bigger channels they show how they make things instead of showing the audience how they can make things and are only a waste of time to watch

[@slowfinger2]

Excellent stuff. I worked in many different shops, and have rigged up many variations. The one tip above others, is to keep bench clearance of at least six inches from the bottom of hanging tools. Sweep up is easier, and safer under chisels. Screw boxes and temporary stuff can slide in below. Far less likely to knock a tool off it's perch. More effective bench room.

[@wittworks]

great tip!

[@helderlage]

I am not a creator, nor will I ever have the ability to be one. But I am an admirer of those who create, using simple and accessible materials, ideas and tools. Genius is almost always in the ability to simplify what seems complex. Your channel is still modest, I understand, but there are channels with millions of followers that are much less interesting. I hope you never lose your simplicity. Accept a European hug!

[@OutrageousAspect]

I stumbled onto your chanel this morning, im not a woodworker, at all. Im an artist and crafty, but my mind exploded with the possibilities watching this and your shop drawers/cabnets video. Thanks! I'll be watching, I like the way you do things and think.

With all my favorites out there. I have to admit, adding you to my current regimen of woodworking videos was a battle I had. I didn’t want to like you at first. It was inevitable, why is everyone in this community so awesome. Welcome to my list of favorites.

[@marylines4546]

YES!!! 3D Printing for woodworkers!!! I bought my 3D printer about 6 months ago and have been printing battery holders and other things I can find online to have better organization in my shop. My biggest problem is finding free files that are specific to woodworkers. I haven't yet had the time to learn the software to create my own files and would love to have more options for the things I use daily. As soon as I do, I would be more than willing to share my files for free. Maybe a 3D printing series that would demonstrate how to create these files? That "wood" be much appreciated (see what I did there :))

[@Patrickitron]

I covered my first shop in our basement utility room with four walls of pegboards! I was so proud. Making your own tool holders was such a revelation. I use those peg boards now to hang an eclectic mix of all the crap I make. It's ever-changing. It's like a museum exhibit. So I guess it's good for that. After this video, I think you have convinced me to get rid of the last remnants of pegboard in my new show. Really great Ideas! Thanks.

[@normanbott]

Totally agree with the pegboard rite of passage. I started with that and the awful Terry spring clips ! My wall mounted tool cabinet has all the custom shaped wooden holders, including in the 2 fully opening doors. Drill bits, Forstners, sanding drums etc on the wall behind /next to drill press. As a hobbyist , time is precious so a well organised shop means more productivity and a whole lot less stress for me. Brilliant video.

[@ElmntFire]

When we bought our home and I finally got space for a shop, I inherited a used door for a workbench and a pegboard backer. This is the inspiration I needed to finally get rid of the pegboard and start storing properly.

[@wittworks]

that's where I started! Not bad, but lots to improve on!

[@rodgerbright3764]

Excellent! For years, I’ve been using plywood as my backdrop. The main differences, I simply paint mine with chalkboard paint, and then use different lengths of gold screws with a little bit of tubing over it, and then I placed my tools extremely close together, and then outline them with a piece of chalk. Moving things around is super simple.I only make actual holders like you have when the tool absolutely requires it. But similar concepts and I really like. I’m going to incorporate some of your ideas.

[@jrockwing]

Just wanna say your b roll and lighting are top notch, nice cameras too 👌🏼

How do you get the design into the machine?

[@claybowser698]

Very helpful! I was looking forward to this video. My town has about 2000 people. Harbor Freight, Lowe's and Walmart are like 20 miles away. Most of my tools are from the cheap seats but I still like them meticulously organized and cared for. My chisels are all really cheap Harbor Freight and box store stuff and after some work on them, they are excellent tools. Some of my most treasured tools are from garage sales, church fundraising tools sales and thrift stores. I got a Stanley Bailey 4 1/2 hand plane for like 17 bucks! Anyway thanks a bunch for cool videos.

[@jon.parsons]

Easily one of the best videos I’ve seen on tool storage! Comes at the right time too, as I’m in the middle of re-arranging my workshop and was about to go buy more pegboard…

Great advice. I caught the French Cleat virus, and it transformed my 1-car garage shop. I found great enjoyment in creating & building the “fixtures“ for the wall.

Best woodworking video I’ve watched in months. So refreshing. Thank you. And yes, a starter guide to 3D printing would be amazing. It feels like just “another thing” to get into and that’s putting me off.

[@EngineerMikeF]

If U have lavish wall space, Witt's solutions look great. If you are space constrained its better if tools stick out from the wall instead of laying flat to use less wall space per tool (e g. Carpenters square). The purchased hammer rack is a good example out stacking deep instead of flat

[@PaulTWOS]

Absolutely... 3D printing for woodworkers is a must.

[@lucasjw]

Love to see a video on 3D printing - basics, woodworking related, but also those tool holders you have that flex to hold things. How do you design, size, and generally plan for elements you intend to have flex as part of the piece’s overall function.

[@ahobimo732]

I strongly agree with your sentiments (around the 4 minute mark): making your workspace more efficient and pleasant to use is always worth the time and effort you put into it. I think the key is to plan out your shop before you start, so that the effort you put into it results in something permanent. Quick fixes and "bandaids" are the TRUE time wasters. Do it once, and do it right. No matter how long it takes, it'll be time well spent.

[@RedDirt_Cowboy]

GREAT video my friend. Im about to build a work bench in my corner of the garage. Dont have much room because we have 5 kids and the wife parks in the garage as well. So this video is a HUGE room saver for me. You are the MAN!!! Salute to you!

Wow. This video was awesome. So many ideas. And i agree with you about how satisfying and stress reducing this stuff can be. I solve massive, complex and stressful problems all day at work. Solving small problems feels so good. I've been convinced i need French cleats but this helped me realize that while i still think cleats are awesome, i don't need them for everything. I've seen dozens of KZbin videos and most are really the same but this is the first one in a while that i found really unique. It triggered my thinking, gave me some ideas and got me excited. Great job. I'm excited to see more from you.

[@matthewalbers5926]

For foam used in drawers, I've had success using a router with a straight router bit to cut out the shapes of tools. I did it free hand, but first, I traced around the tools with a razor knife. It more or less scores the "skin" or the foam, leaving clean lines around the edges.

[@andrewliberacki2674]

@wittworks you’re welcome 😉 I really like some of these storage solutions, I might have to upgrade some of the tool holders on my triangular lazy Susan cart!

GREAT stuff! I have picked up some neat tips for tool holders from this video. My 'tool wall' is actually several areas of plywood throughout the shop, as I've NEVER been a Fench Cleat fan. Your holders fastened with just a few brad nails is still VERY 'rearrangeable' (if that is a word), and only a couple of pin holes to fill in.

[@ninenailswoodshop]

Release the 3D printing video! One of my favorite things about your videos is the stories woven throughout. I’d almost be more interested in the stories behind your 3D printing over the actual content! They are all very inspiring!

[@davidd4944]

This is maybe the best KZbin video I've ever seen. I'm going to watch this in slow motion over and over. It's mind melting how many ideas are here. PLEASE do the 3D printing video. I love 3D printing and designing in Fusion360, but struggle with reasons to use it. Is the Shaper Frame useful for 3D printing? I had dismissed it because I don't have an Origin or a laser.

[@philiptenenzaph6128]

my shop is a small one car garage with a tremendous amount of tools. They are littering the walls, as I too subscribe to the "first order retrievability" ethos. Loved the video! It's awesome seeing you put together the new shop.

[@wittworks]

thanks! Fitting most of it in the 1 car bay too

[@randycosgrove3608]

I have a pegboard wall in my shop. Have had it for a very long time. A few years ago I re-organized things and built tool holders similar to the ones that you show but made them hang on the pegboard by mounting the pegboard hooks into them. And that I could work on bit by bit as I had time. I did follow your general tip in that I put the frequent use things close to where they would be used, on the wall, not in drawers and bins. So pegboard isn't all bad. It's just how it's used.

[@davidwilliams1060]

Really good, thanks. If viewers plan to make their holders someday, they may still need to consider pegboard as an interim solution. I’ve used it for 10 years. Not perfect but way better than the nothing I had before.

[@flboy77]

What a fantastic video. Everyone gets better and better.

[@rDunfee]

3D printing for woodworkers sounds great! I've been printing for over a decade but I always love fresh takes

[@johnhaller5851]

One of the problems i have is that my workshop is a shop for many activities. My yard tools go there, the house painting supplies go there, my home repair tools go there, my bicicle goes there. While some of it needs to go, it can't all go. There doesn't seem to be a single woodworker with some frezze proof exterior hose bib cover in the background. I know these organizing tips can help there too, but maybe i expect too much to see those challenges addressed in a woodworking channel.

[@MadMonk67]

Same for me. My shop is an automobile garage/repair space, a yard equipment storage space, and pool equipment storage space, a woodworking space, and (at times) and workout facility. I have too many interests and not enough space for it all. 😀

[@udp1073]

just found your channel AND I am already a subscriber, amazing video. there is a real psy value in organizing and decluttering, it start with simple stuff, like your desk or a drawer and payback big times, then, when it jumps to a higher level, like a complete shop (and what a shop you have Sir) then it can really be a transforming experience, because from that point on, you will not apporoach any stuff in life like you previously did... it is like doing thing (any and every thing) witha "less clutter" mentality, which most of the time means also less waste of resource et all. truly an inspiring video, thanks a lot for sharing

What's actually stupid is -> me watching many of your videos over the months and realizing right now that I wasn't a subscriber LOL. I am now part of it with full notifications on. Seriously you're really good at making interesting videos and totally deserve way more subs!

This is great! Started to use this type of approach cause my shop is overwhelmingly disorganized. Time for me to ADD proof the shop and make it my own. Thanks for the ideas!

[@smarkalet9078]

I find most makers run out of things to make and end up focusing on the space to make the things they won't be making. That does not preclude the fact that they need an appropriate space for the things they will be making, but they end up making and remaking that same space over and over. Just look how many storage and work bench projects your favorite channel has.

[@DeathSurg720]

I would love to see a video on 3D printing for Woodworkers. I have been 3d printing as a small hobby for years and I am just getting into the idea of woodworking as a small hobby. Great video!

[@andyboybennett]

Tis vid raises several earth-shaking questions, number 1 of which is, "Why do you have FOUR track squares on your wall? You could clear out some usable space by sending one of them to me! Seriously, I also enjoy making custom holders for tools. My main problem is limited wall space, and the fact that my main bench is far from any walls that could be used for tools. I have build 2rolling racks with tool holders on both sides. They stand near my bench, and I can move them close to where I'm working, or turn the side of the rack that has the tools that I'm using at that moment. Thanks for this, and all the great videos you make.

Great video! I saw Adam as a keynote speaker at a conference I went to (Strange Loop) and he talked about 1st order retrievability and he is really passionate about it. I believe the end quote was "F*** drawers!". +1 for a 3d print for woodworkers, I find my printer super useful in making jigs, weird sized hole guides, corner radius jigs, etc, etc.

I just wanted to comment and say how much I loved this video. I believe you have ignited a passion to build organization for my shop(garage). Thank you so much for this!

[@JCMoorer]

Drew your videos are some of my absolute favorites to watch. Thank you for making them! My track saw plug thingy is working so well. 👍🏻

Great to hear!

Cant believe you arent at 500k subscribers yet... Mark my words, your videos deserve to be seen by all new and old woodworkers

where do I send the check?

I like alot of what you did there. And I agree its great to just go bang out projects like that. One additional thing I'll mention because I am also cheap and clever lol, that I didnt see. Harbor Freight magnetic strips. When they are on sale they are dirt cheap. So I have them spread out all over my shop and keep specific tools for each station on them. Like im talking by the band saw/router table/drill press Ive got all the allen keys to the machines tool change and drill chuck keys. CNC table ive got tool change tools, picks, exacto knives digital calipier ect. Just takes being able to just grab what you need when you need to a new level. I feel like mag strips are the failed dream of a pegboard. I had one initially, seems like a great idea, but in practice your picking up all those little holders from behind a table all the time. I do agree with how you did things and theres value in having your workspace be pretty and something your proud of is the big thing

I can tell you how much I enjoy your channel. Ok, well I guess I kind of just did. This was inspiring. I have been in shop set up mode for a month now trying to get ready to start my at home business and this was an eye opener. Thanks again and keep on keeping on!

Good stuff. As I work through this, I'm trying to keep an eye on what gets left on vertical surfaces, and where I most often find it. That's a good clue as to where it's supposed to go.

good tip!

[@nosreuter]

The line "from when they had that proctologist sell..." came so out off the blue it made me blow my nose clean from a sudden burst of laughter 😂 I love your sense of humour!

I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT need you to create that 3D printing video. Your use case for it is exactly why I would want a printer. Looked into 3D printing a handful of years ago and wrote it off because of the learning curve, ultra-finicky machine setup, and amount of post-print finishing. Well, while I wasn’t looking the tech matured, and seems like magic these days. So yeah… now I feel like I missed the boat, and don’t know where to start.
