Great design. You could even recess this in between studs and have a less protruding profile with a built in look.

[@TheWeekendWoodshop]

This is a great idea. Compact, low profile, and versatile. Well done!

[@WoodshopJunkies]

Thank you!

[@Ian_Burt]

To help prevent chipping on plexiglass when using any circular saw install the blade backwards. It significantly reduces chip-out.

[@shawnr771]

One of my friends is a glass guy he scores plexiglass with a razor knife and snaps it. Very clean edges.

[@Ian_Burt]

@@shawnr771 That works extremely well on thinner plastic type materials. The thicker, and sometimes larger the sheet they become the more problematic that method also becomes.

[@spongebobc.g855]

I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.

[@billybike57]

I’m always blown away with your designs. Not every thing you build I will but I always find something you’ve done I’ll adapt to one of my projects. Well done 👍🏼

[@madani7800]

U make me proud to be south African, great stuff junkies

[@jesseotero4268]

You are AMAZING , Everytime i look at your video you always have some new idea for my work shop ...

[@b3arwithm3]

It looks really practical with the small glass. Much better than french cleat holders 😂

[@dirty_chemist]

Always amazed by the simplicity that an electrical engineer finds in carpentry.

[@billparrish4385]

Saw something similar a few years ago in an unfinished garage wall, but instead of the entire mechanism with hinged shelves requiring moving the entire system to get out one item, adding plexiglass windows, etc., this solution simply installed 3 1/2" x 14 1/2" (" = 'inches') shelves for each item to sit on between the open studs, then a small furring strip across the front near the bottom of each item to retain it. The bottom of the item just needed to be lifted clear of the furring strip as the top tilted out, and that top clearance defined the location of the next shelf above it. In this way, each item had its own custom-height pocket, and the wall was fully utilized, for the cost of some 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" stock, plus some scrap for small cleats on which to rest the ends of the shelves. There were a couple items wider than 14 1/2" or deeper than 3 1/2", but these simply sat in a deeper pocket along the bottom that bridged across multiple studs, with deeper shelf stock notched out for the studs, so that smaller items could still go between the studs behind the larger items. And I suppose if space limitations had prevented doing the deeper pockets, there could always have been a header and jack studs, removing a middle stud section as if for a window framing. But that space was not so limited, and the deeper spanning pocket was fine.

[@mmembrino]

You could scale it down for drill/router bit storage. Awesome design!

[@spinyuk]

Thats super cool, and yes, for spray cans, it would be very handy :)

[@johanjacobs2442]

Weereens 'n goeie plan, goeie uitvoering en jou vermoe om dit op video te sit is uitstekend.

[@WoodshopJunkies]

Dankie!

[@team_rex]

I love how many of your shop projects involve clever movement, getting something off a shelf becomes so much more exciting!

[@coreybeaty8528]

My friend I have been watching you videos all morning and I’m quite impressed. I would like to offer a small amount of advice, you should never use those composite cut off wheels on non-Ferris metals like aluminum or brass they can fill up with the metal and when it gets hot the metal expands ruining the structure of the disc and they explode at max rpm and can cause severe injury or even death. One exploded on my uncle and cut his femoral artery he almost bled out. Anyway, be safe great videos!

[@_WillCAD_]

I like this design. It saves a lot of floor space but makes all of those items easily accessible; it's something that Adam Savage refers to as "first order retrievability". That's really important in a small shop. Well, in any shop, honestly. I carry an aluminum wallet that does the same thing for all of my credit, debit, and ID cards. 🙂 The aluminum bars around the windows and the edges give it a great look. If I were making this for myself, though, I'd have done two things a little differently: 1) I wouldn't have linked all four shelves to open together. When loaded out, these shelves will be pretty heavy, and even in the video you have to use two hands to open them; the full weight will also put a lot of stress on the two chains you used as retainers. Opening one at a time would be a one-handed operation; you can open the shelf with one hand and grab something from it with the other, then close it, all in one quick move. Each shelf would need its own pair of retainers, but the stress on them would be reduced to the weight of one shelf, not all four. 2) I would have cut the slots for the windows before assembling the drawers. Cut one, and you could use it as a router template for the other three, reducing your setup time because you wouldn't have to align and clamp a straight edge 16 times for 16 cuts, only for the first four. I'm curious - what kind of glue did you use? I don't recognize the brand, so it may be something we don't have in the US.

[@WoodshopJunkies]

Genkem is actually a South African original if I'm not mistaken. Very strong contact adhesive.

[@DasShaten]

I think the issue in not linking the 4 shelves is there is no top edge on the bottom 3 since that is where the shelf above open through, you would have been force to do some sort of side latching to separate the shelves.

[@mikebond6328]

I like the shelves being linked together. I think I will add an electric linear actuator when I build it.

[@MrPatdeeee]

" Yes, another innate; from birth a true genius. That is a incredible; for every thing he builds. Thank you kind Sir, for sharing your talents with us. And thanks to your parents for having such an awesome son. For it was from Jesus through your parents. Wow! I am going to build those "racks". Because I have untold packages over many years. Now I will have a nice place to put them, when not in use. Thanks kind Sir. Can't wait for each video you make. NONE Finer!

[@idiotluggage]

Great idea. Like the spice rack, you could scale this down and use it for boxes of screws and nails.

[@EngineerMikeF]

If those pivot bolts spin loose U can add a drop of blue thread locker to the nuts. Nice project & clever use of the aluminum angle

[@OZheathen]

I could use that for storing all my big boxes of tech screws and long wood screws , I have big boxes of them because I use them a lot on my farm. They always seem to take up valuable shelf space

[@davidgreen437]

Your ideas are awesome and unique I love watching your videos.

[@Druforithe]

I love all your shop organization videos! You do such an excellent job of creating accesible and high-utility designs!

[@choiceblade]

Bloody marvelous! Now to find some wall space.

[@nickyvanzyl8978]

Brilliant idea. Great to see your videos again.

[@10FingersWoodworking]

Excellent idea. Looks great, and helps with storage. Thanks.

[@cameronpalfy9145]

Jean. Awesome idea! This would be great for a screw/nail/ small parts system!

[@raymondhall7606]

Good idea, lots of ways to use this.

[@mergalinpillay2413]

Fantastic idea and technique.

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

So well thought out and able to hold so many different items.

[@thatwideangle9781]

Awesome design! Love the unique ideas to make the most of a small shop,

[@brunofonseca9686]

Really nice build! Congrats.

[@robertkerby2581]

Amazing design! Great Craftsmanship! Well done!

[@c.a.g.1977]

As usual: a very clever design and built very well too!

[@johnkelley9877]

I think it is a neat idea with a lot of uses. You have some great ideas for the small woodshop. Thanks for sharing this.

[@m.creekrenovations]

Gotta start implementing these ideas to organize my work space! Great stuff my man!

I like the mix of restoration and shop infrastructure,

[@zeeebrenn]

Just what i needed for my garage, thanks!

[@ArmyVet76]

Very cool build 👍🏼

[@triplex86]

Excellent video. A very innovative and original storage solution for the small shop. Thank you.

[@craigbond7877]

This would be great for a workshop that has a lot of spray paint cans. The widows would make finding the right color very quick. Flat cans of wood finishing liquids would also fit (tung oil, boiled linseed oil, acetone, etc.

[@jbb5470]

Wow, what a clever idea! I really like the slim design. I can see something like this fitting into my garage / shop! Thank you for posting, always great content !

[@JeReMyIsMeNoTyOu]

Brilliant execution 👌

[@karensaldanha4760]

Absolutely fabulous design, thanks for sharing.

[@brucefaria6464]

I absolutely can ust this idea. Super job

[@AncoraImparoPiper]

I love the idea. Saved it as something to build ( as soon as major home reno is over...!)

[@jonasmjanssongmail]

Really nice! I’m not gonna make this one, but still learn quite a bit about basic mechanisms that I can apply to other builds. I’m binge watching your shop organization videos and can’t get enough of them

[@joelcopeland3018]

Very cool build... Well done...

[@helderlage]

Nice to know that you are recovered... as always, FANTASTIC idea an design, CONGRATULARIONS

Genius. I love it. Great job. Keep them coming.

[@linsen8890]

Another brilliant design and great execution. I also have a small shop, so I really enjoy seeing your ideas on how to organize and save space. Super inspiring ideas and work!

[@johnwooldridge9994]

First time viewing your channel and I’m very impressed with this idea. I will definitely be incorporating something similar within my own workshop at some point. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@marksmith7147]

Nice and neat idea. Good job.

[@keithbaker5042]

Great Job I Love Your shop jigs!!!! I haven't seen you use your restored table saw yet?

Brilliant, Jean! Fantastic work! 😃 Works and looks great! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@heavymetallife398]

Another great design mate

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

Very nice, gonna have to consider this for my shop. I think I would put sticky labels on the stored boxes that would be visible through the windows.

[@lancejasper3272]

Looks like it works great.

[@karlgabel9822]

Very clever idea - makes me think of where I could put something similar... Thanks for posting!

[@stuartkorte1642]

Another nice concept especially for limited space. I really like the idea of spray can storage.

[@johnvodopija1743]

This is a clever storage solution. Thank you for the interesting content 🙏

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Awesome idea! THANKS!

[@AndyCallaway]

Another cool project. 😀

[@susan_halla]

Your projects are always so genius and beautiful! I, too, have a single garage workshop with concrete walls, so I have learned a lot of tips!

[@MrRossi1805]

Really cool solution!

[@lauramarshall6376]

What a great piece! I have drawers full of cases of stuff - this would make it so much easier to find things.

[@Michael-ui1sy]

Great solution 🤗

[@PawPawsClan]

Very Nice, and intuitive, good job

[@tipsybo]

This is such a clever and we'll designed storage unit especially considering floorspace limitations. Very impressed!!!

[@tomrailton9201]

Another fantastic video fella. Take care and stay safe mate. Tom.

[@mccmike]

Would it be possible to make this to use a french cleat? This is a very classy look. I love it.

[@davidpeters8813]

Brilliant work as usual! 👍

[@mornewucherpfennig1336]

Super cool like always

[@kenluning909]
