Parts Organizer Storage Rack

[@nvlvdave]

Love the hockey puck idea!

[@jasonblume2707]

I like it!.. Thinking of building a metal rack for my Stanley bins too.... MY wood skills aint as good!!!

[@trevhaydon5090]

Great video fella, Awesome rack, You have gone and given me some ideas now, LOL. I use exactly the same organisers for the exact same reason you do. Buy it right, you only buy once. Keep up the great work. All the best from London, UK

[@built4625]

Trev Haydon thank you for the kind words! Im looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

[@H2Dwoat]

Trev Haydon: hi, I am in the UK as well, did you find the 25 compartment organisers ok in the UK. I can’t seem to find them here, I can only find the 10 compartment organisers?

[@mrdizzyd]

Great job!!! I love the hockey puck idea. I plan on using your idea to elevate my storage racks.

[@built4625]

mrdizzyd thanks man glad you like it. Check out the lots of them on eBay. It’s the cheapest was I have seen to buy them yet.

[@BrandonLund]

Nice work brother! I like your design. Nice and compact. I have a few of those Stanley boxes. They hold up well.

[@built4625]

Brandon Lund nice! I liked the Milwaukee ones the best but they only come in one size. I needed the smaller size for my electrical components and stuff

[@heathhenderson7217]

Man that turned out great, Super useful!!!

[@outdoorzone]

Nice!! Love the overall design and hockey puck feet!! Bravo

[@built4625]

thank you, glad you like it. Once you buy a huge box of hockey pucks, you end up using them for everything. they are hard enough to machine but soft enough to absorb vibrations.

[@outdoorzone]

BUILT I wish I thought of those for my large air compressor feet as isolators...but used some 1” old conveyor belt I had around.

[@built4625]

@@outdoorzone i like it, use what you have. that's why i hate throwing stuff like that away. i always end up needing it!

[@JmanRx81]

That rack is awesome! Need one!

[@calimesacox]

Instead of 1x1 between the plastic totes. I think I would have used angle iron, would have given more of a lip to slide on. Just a thought

[@built4625]

Calimesacox good call. I think I actually mentioned that in a comment somewhere on here. If I would have bought the metal to make this project I would have used angle iron instead for sure. Look for a new rendition of this storage rack in the future

[@olivertaylor4779]

I was thinking the same thing watching the video, this would also give it 'sides' so the boxes don't slide out sideways, it would probably be cheaper too if you were buying the metal just for this rack.

[@calimesacox]

@@olivertaylor4779 I didn't even thenk about it going oy the side, buy your right. And he would have gained a lot of room. Would have got two more of the thin organizers. I am thinking about making one. Seen where a guy put in the middle a pull out tray. So he could set and open the box..

[@olivertaylor4779]

@@calimesacox The pull out tray is a great idea and it saves room on a bench, I would have a bar/tube in a l_l shape and this would go into tube on each side, 8mm rebar is nice n cheap for this and strong too.

[@albertrios5168]

Awesome!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. I’m going to have to fab one or two up for my garage, too!!

[@built4625]

Albert Rios nice! Im going to be integrating a wood version into my miter saw station when i build it as well. You can never have too much hardware storage

[@timmcgrath2223]

Very well planned-out and an excellent finished project !

[@built4625]

🙏 thank you, I’m glad you liked it. I will be doing another version of this design soon as I have run out of space on this one.

[@joerouleau7584]

Great build, need to do some storage solutions in the shop. Great content. You have me thinking!🤔🤔🤔

[@built4625]

Joe Rouleau I’m glad you like the videos. I’m actually going to be building a new version of this storage system in the near future. It’s gong to be completely different from anything I have ever seen anyone build before. So subscribe and keep an eye out for it.

[@TheAwesomeSam]

that looks great! good job!

[@MattMolnar10]

Nice build! Functional and looks good, too!

[@built4625]

Matt Molnar thank you!

[@jerrybobteasdale]

That's a lot of tubing. Some components of that build could easily be cheaper angle iron and strap iron.

[@CheetoTheCat]

The finished product looks super nice, and professionally done. The red looks awesome. I do have one question; why did you use square tube for the drawer supports? It seems like the square tube is using up a lot of vertical space and maybe using angle instead would have allowed you to fit more trays. Just asking. Other than that detail, I intend to totally copy this. I also love the fact that you used good quality trays. The Stanley trays are WAY better than HF's and worth the extra $$. Two thumbs up! Edit to add: I see a lot of other folks have said the same thing and I see your responses. Excellent project anyway.

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

That turned out great. Nice work.

Can you show / video your vice stand ?

I will try to get one up soon

[@damasoismael3693]

Great video dude! Very engaging.

[@built4625]

Damaso Ismael thanks man! Im working on it. I hope the sound is better with the lav mic setup

[@MrSuzukiyamaha]

Very nice. Take my money.

[@dwightcarter6334]

Best intro ever!!

[@weldingjunkie]

Awesome rack. Do you think it would of been cheaper to use angle iron for the shelf sliders? Or do you think tubing is better to hold the boxes straight?

[@built4625]

Jason angle iron would have been a better choice for sure. I just had a ton of this 1x1" box tubing laying around so i used that. If i woukd have bought the materials, i would have used 2x2x 1/8" angle iron i think

[@rrf482012]

I use those exact same totes for screws...etc. I was wondering how I was going to build my rack for mine. Very nice job and looks great. My only issue is that my rack will be built for installation into a 7'x16' trailer. I would have to make modifications to it for that kind of environment....:) I was wondering why you didn't use 1"x1" angle iron for the supports.....just curious is all. My unit will not be mobile within the trailer....screwed to the wall for sure. The other thing is that I did not even know that they made a smaller tote.....gonna look into that as well. Thanks for the great video.

[@built4625]

Russell Freer thanks for the love! I would have definitely used angle iron if I had it available at the time. I made this whole rack out of metal I had laying around that was left over from other projects. If I had to buy the materials I would for sure go with angle iron for the parts that the totes actually sit on.

[@rrf482012]

I was wondering if you had the rest of your totes installed(pictures), how it has been working out and if you had made any amendments?

[@mcroley591]

Nice!!

[@igornedeljko9461]

Nice rack, what brand is belt grinder? Video 10:21 Thx

[@MrTapanes]

Igor, that looks like the Harbor Freight 1x30 belt sander (with the cover off) - www.harborfreight.com/1-in-x-30-in-belt-sander-61728.html

[@warlockcommandcenter]

That looked go, it was a finished project. The caps were a nice touch, the sortemo idea is a very valid project for a home shop, where space is always a premium. Mine uses a steel shelveing unit with extra shelves to hold 16 trays two on each shelve, the blue steel and plastic part holders are where I started but just to small. Never saw hockey pucks used that way. I use one as a pin block to punch out pins in firearms, and getting a big box means they are cheap unfortunately pucks are not available anywhere near me and I picked mine up in Vancouver coming back from Alaska. Imagine pucks not being available in the desert? Don't allow your shop to become other people's warehouse.

[@socialmediumspace]

I've seen a lot of wood ones. But I like it in metal better

[@built4625]

Ya the wood ones are where I got the idea. This one is allot stronger and could be bolted anywhere. Even in the back of a truck or trailer.

[@socialmediumspace]

@@built4625 also, I sent you a message on Instagram.

[@jbfabrocks]

Nice Rack! Planning to do something similar this year with the harbor freight bins. Because well, I'm cheap, I already have some, and they've been holding up well enough for me. The part I want to know is where did you get that sick thread checker? I've got a couple from trade shows, but nothing that nice. - nevermind, saw it in the description! BTW prep, prime, and paint is my least favorite part too.

[@built4625]

J Bondioli nice! I think the harbor freight bins are great. If I didn’t bring these bins with me to jobs so often, I would have gone with them Instead.

[@TH-pg9hn]

That rack is porn. Awesome job! . I want build one too. Thanks.

[@built4625]

T H thanks for the love. Once you are finished with it, Tag me in the build. I would love to check it out!

[@sarahkightlinger4208]

You can tell he doesn’t weld for a living. He would be wearing flip-flops and shorts sleeves LOL

[@built4625]

Ya I’m an aircraft sheet metal mechanic. I used to weld in short sleeves but I’m super white so my arms turned into tomato’s 😂😂

[@garycrumrine9538]

Is that an old Starliner in the driveway?

[@built4625]

Gary Crumrine kind of. It’s actually a fairlane (same lower body but different roof and trim)

[@TerryPullen]

WTF... you just made all my shelving look like crap. Oh well, guess I'll just have to up my game.

[@built4625]

Terry Pullen haha I’m sure they look fine. I know how you feel though. I always see better ways to make projects after I finish them. Like for example, I would have used L- angles instead of box tubing for the drawer slides if I had to do it again. I probably would have been able to fit a good deal more totes with all the extra space.

[@SeanRWisner]

@@built4625 I caught Harbor Freight having a sale on the thinner boxes so I purchased 8 (they had a limit of 9 but I was thinking even numbers in case I wanted to do side by side. I also bought 2 of the thicker cases and 4 of the half width cases and they also had some odd shaped cases (18.5"Lx6.75"Wx3.5H) I bough 4 of those. So my question is when I left the store I was kicking myself thinking I had bought to many of the "thin" boxes (16.5"Wx13Dx2.25"D) and needed more of the "thick" (16.5"Wx13Dx4.5"D). BUT once I got them back to the garage and began the sorting in the round(picture me as Def Leppard and the sorting boxes as the audience) I discovered I really did not like the "thick" very much because the bins are too large too deep and too few, yes I had a few items that they were ideal for but it was only a few. I dig the "frame" method of building the rack, but I am not capable of welding at this time so I'm going with wood. I watched this video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnWzl6lujbCmprM )after yours which also used welded tube frame but he also used wood panels. Obviously his wood panels were for aesthetics, but if the frame were made of wood as mine will be the wood panels become integral structure. Thanks for the inspiration and happy new year

[@SeanRWisner]

I should have said I mention this because: 1) you mentioned getting more cases in by using angle 2) I notice you have a lot of the thick cases Perhaps your storage needs are vastly different then mine (and they may be) but that seems like an awful lot of those thick cases to me

[@built4625]

SeanRWisner nice! Great score! Tag me in your build whenever you finish it. I would love to see how it turn out. Especially with the half width cases.
