At the very beginning, when you admitted "it came to you in your dream and you couldn't sleep for 2 hours" rang truer and more relatable than I ever thought. I am barely beginning my woodworking journey and when last year I got my first palm router, I woke up in the middle of the night with an idea for how to use it when creating the very first zero clearance plate for my tablesaw. Made it happen the next day, just as you did - nothing written down, because everything was just so clear in my head. Thank you for reminding me of that feeling!

Another great video. Super idea, and not too complex for most hobby woodworkers. I work out of a single garage that I have to share with my wife’s piano that she refuses to part with, despite not playing it for 15 years, so anything that maximises space is great! Well done, the finished product looks great.

[@rockintigger]

I take it you’ll be starting this weekend then. 🤭

[@startmaking1]

It's an interesting take. I dont consider myself to be particularly adept at woodworking and I managed but then again I have a dedicated space and a fair amount of tools now so I guess that helps. Good luck working around the piano bud lol. I get it.

[@SachaGreif]

Add some magnets to the piano. Boom, piano tool storage!

Maybe you can convince her to let you use the piano wood to build something she wants while you keep some to make a couple of these.

[@markduggan3451]

My wife and I guessed it was tool storage, but neither of us guessed it would be that cool. It's given me an idea for my lathe chisels.

[@markbarron2805]

You should call it “Dougal” - it’s the Magic Roundabout! 😂 Good build and interesting process you took to get there - well done! As I saw you build it, I thought a cabinet door would open up the inside for storage too. Thanks for the video.

[@startmaking1]

Love that name. Great idea.

[@MrErViLi]

Great idea. I did something similar years ago. I picked up one of those rotating display cases from a local shop going out of business. It was almost 7 feet tall. I modified it to hold tools and what not and put it in the corner just like you did yours.

[@charitiekbyrd1]

That is brilliant 💯!!!! Great job figuring it all out too! Also, I really like the idea of it opening up for more storage. It has a lot of possibilities. You can make a center collum on the inside for chisels and on the inside wall of the outer plates for router bits as well as the outer surface for hand planes or other tools that you use all the time. So many combinations of storage options, you really have me thinking now 😂😂. Love the video and the idea, thank you for sharing. I'm moved into my new house and I have a 2 car garage I'm going to turn into a woodshop. It still has a bunch of our stuff in it so it's not quite ready but I will get there in time.

A stand for clamps was my first sensible thought (I did think maybe a corner lighthouse to ward weary woodworkers away from the corner. But ruled that out pretty quickly).

Lol, love that. I actually cut the bit where I tripped and fell into the corner before the build. Could have done with the lighthouse then.

Great video and i might at some time build one. The one thing i am going to make is the fence sled that you showed for cutting the angles on the table saw. That is a very useful addition. Thanks for showing us your ideas and keep it up.

[@startmaking1]

Thank you William. In truth I think I would have struggled with this build without that sled. And you can always replace the dove tail clamps with normal t track clamps or other hold down options.

[@ehRalph]

Nice, you really packed some tools into that. I agree the center hollow space could work. Maybe with a hinged side, but the taper (attractive as it is, adds complexity to your build.) Dust can be a problem with open storage. Not sure what’s on the floor, but you could build pivot shelves right to the floor on a strong stable base using a large 18” lazy Suzan center and with Rolling Ball Universal Transfer Bearings around the edges . I have most of my drill press accessories on a 2’x2’-5’ tall pivot case. Mine is like a set of 10” deep shelves front with deeper shelves behind at 90° it holds tools on 2 sides with a curved back allowing it to sit closer to the wall. The shelf is heavy but it will turn 360°. In use, it only pivots about 45° to 90° since all the regular use storage is accessible on the 2 faces.

[@startmaking1]

You are spot on. Straight is the way to go. Love the sound of your build too. Really effective.

[@dkohler5226]

I have a simple question, why don't FB woodworkers match up cut lines on their layouts to save on materials and time? In other words, overlap cut lines like we were instructed in woodshop in High School, I was the woodshop Forman for a quarter.

[@startmaking1]

It's a great plan to be honest. I never did woodshop , not that it is an excuse but I am still very much learning as I go.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

It's for accuracy and to allow for the blade kerf. If your layout lines are shared by multiple components, then one piece is always technically on the waste side and won't necessarily get the best cut. And all blades have some thickness so if you're cutting exactly on a line then you're losing some material on each side of that line. This is going to make components slightly smaller than what you carefully planned for and laid out. That may not matter for some projects but it definitely can for others. And mistakes tend to compound over time and further processes. For instance, if you cut exactly on your layout line with a tablesaw with a 1/8th" blade kerf you're losing 1/16th" on each piece on every line. And then you're going to sand those smooth, losing even more material. This will matter over a complicated project since it's not going to happen uniformly across pieces and you might have very precise measurements that you're trying to achieve. Modern wisdom tends to say that you cut outside your line and then tune exactly to the size you want by other means. The method you mentioned isn't wrong by any means but it just may not be precise enough for modern woodworking.

Great project! Your are far more creative than I am. Cheers

[@startmaking1]

Thats kind waking up at 2am with ideas is both a blessing and a curse lol.

[@anthonygriffin3147]

Sckiny darlic Mark ha ha look at that smile ha ha missed your vids over Christmas well done rkid

[@startmaking1]

Thanks Bud. Had no idea there were so many Dr Who fans here

[@brianhall9019]

I figured it out @ 16:38… it’s a Dalek.

[@startmaking1]

nailed it lol.

[@johnpolen4090]

Brilliant. What about a much longer version?

[@startmaking1]

Floor to ceiling or a video of 3 hours of me making it. lol.

[@missyk7716]

4:19 A lazy susan for spray cans or sanding paper is my guess. Welp... clearly not for sandpaper or spray cans - I think that may be more applicable for my usage. You never cease to bring inspiration!

[@startmaking1]

Great guess and a great idea though. And thank you

[@AppalachianLife]

Crazy Susan!

[@startmaking1]

Great name

[@criggie]

I guessed it was a plane till about the time you picked up a plane and fitted it. Down to the wire !

[@startmaking1]

That was a bit of a give away I admit.

[@mattzahara9310]

1:42 guessing it’s a spinning thing to store cans of stuff. Spray paint, paste wax, other finishes. Jean at woodshop junkies made something like this a while ago, but putting it in a corner is a good idea.

[@startmaking1]

Brilliant suggestion. Beyond my skills right now but not forever.

[@davidhowell2100]

ooooh, I need this for my hand planes. I can't justify the the space on my wall to hang them vertically, but this would be perfect.

[@startmaking1]

And you can make it to suit what you need.

[@claireomeara2620]

Definitely adapt your design to include an access😊 door tothe inside. You can put plain cleats on the two walls topped with a tringle bit of counter to mount this rack thus opening space below. Finally I see no need to slope the sides. Planes could be hung the way simple sliding panels are hung with a deep slot at top and a shalower slot below to drop into. Magnets and twist cleats would manage the rests.

[@startmaking1]

brilliant idea . Thank you.

[@martinthorp7609]

Hi Mark and a happy new year to you. At 3.29 I thought it was going to be a revolving clamp rack, but I soon realised I was been daft. Interesting concept with potentially some good storage solutions 👍👍 .... ............mmmmmm, revolving clamp rack🤔

[@startmaking1]

Thank you Martin and happy new year to you too bud. 5 people guessed the same and so now I have to make one or it will eat away at me lol.

[@martinthorp7609]

[@FuhrChris]

What you need to add to it would be return to a certain point in the rotation. (The reason for it would be that moment when you are trying to remember where you put a certain tool that tool is on the outward side of the circle (not up against the wall)) This can be done various ways with either springs or weights. The weight method is you attach a cord under the bottom or in the middle top that pulls on a grooved pulley. There would be a hole in the bottom (alternately: a hole in the top that goes to middle (it hides the weight)) And through the hole you run the cord that has a weight on it (a spring will also work) The weight or spring pulls the cord which will line up with hole at the bottom causing the tower to return over and over again to the same tool facing the middle of the room.

[@startmaking1]

Brilliant idea.

[@jaoxer]

I'm at 4.42..but when you said the hexagons were decreasing in size a cakestand came into my head....is it going to have a lazy Susan? Quite handy for workshop fondue...now back to the vid....

[@startmaking1]

Mmmm workshop fondue.

[@colemine7008]

nice and creative

[@startmaking1]

Thank you.

[@mw8246]

I was close! Guessed around three minutes in that it was going to be tiered storage. Might actually try this one just for the stupid amount of hand planes I have!

[@startmaking1]

It would be really cool with loads of planes. I have to say I would potentially label the areas some how. U have 2 no5s and one is for my shooting board, the other for general use and now I have to pause and think before I grab the right one.

[@invisiblist-tv]

54 seconds in: I'm guessing a tombola cabinet! Well that's what I'm calling it😂

[@startmaking1]

Not bad.

[@johnmarshall4148]

They’re not ‘hexagons’!!!

[@TheSpenny75]

All the way through, I was going 'grrr, octagon'

[@startmaking1]

Oh come on, we all know what I mean though right? lol.

[@raydriver7300]

If I hadn’t realised you are joking I would call you a punctilious pedant 🌞

​@@startmaking1 then say the right word

[@bobkilmer697]

I got bored with the chatter and fast-forwarded a bit, but I've never seen anything quite like it on KZbin and I like it.

[@startmaking1]

Thats fair enough. I do talk a fair amount and 16 mins is a lot to sit through even I struggle. lol

[@HouseScraper]

great project even though i did not get the instruction right when to pause and guess what the project right I truly enjoyed the video.

[@startmaking1]

NOt a problem. Im just glad you enjoyed it.
