Shop Organization Upgrades | Storage and French Cleat Changes | A Glimpse Inside How To

[@edbrown3047]

I'm 54 years old and just now learning a little woodworking. Thanks for your videos

[@seanbrotherton542]

Never ever apologize for real life brother. Make it a point! Love your content just like it is. The kids are obviously having as much fun as you are. 👍

[@donkink3114]

Your interactions with your daughter are so heartwarming. Gonna have to wait till I get my shop built before i xan implement some of these ideas.

[@Bulldog532]

I LOVE THIS INTRO! My kids are older now, but it so brings me back. Hope the people watching this video learn more than woodworking ideas, how to value and enjoy their family lives. Awesome!!

[@V1N_574]

The intro felt like one of my meetings of work since everyone is working at home hahaha. Loved it!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I love it when your kids pop in and out of your videos. Once they realize other people, like their friends, can see them they may shy away. Enjoy it while it lasts! I like that you do finish off items in your shop so they feel and look nice. It's a good way to advertise the quality of your work if a customer ever comes to your shop. Plus, what better place than your own shop to practice joinery and finishing. I'm reorganizing my shop and this video is full of great ideas!

[@christophersegura9726]

Installed one of the harbor freight magnet strips on the side of my workbench.

Love how you just roll with the "real life". Capture those moments in time so you can always cherish them.

[@chrisflavelle1200]

Real life is the best. You love them, they love you. Never apologize for being a loving DAD! They'll love it when you show them all these clips when they're old enough to really remember them.

[@davidyarb5885]

Awesome having your kids being involved. That’s quality life. Great intro.

[@rickdudley291]

Oh man! that was so great seeing you with your kids! Beautiful family moments! I just loved it!

[@mendyviola]

Just love you having your daughter in the shop with you.

[@treggliebler6237]

When I grow up (I'm 54) I want an organized shop like yours. You inspired me to start organizing mine right now. Thankyou!

[@JWimpy]

Great video, great tips. By the way, never stop including the family interactions. That's what makes America great. We NEED family.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Awesome storage bits. But more than that.. you’re kids are going to love having these little gems of moments with you that they’ll probably forget about until they see them.

Great share yet again pal. Some cool ideas with the magnetic cleat thingy. Love it. Stay safe and keep the family fun. Always brightens my day.

[@blackdog7979]

Love the vid, my heart was in my mouth when you bent over the running saw to show the joints at 3.31 😳keep up the good work fella

[@fleetswoodshop3339]

Great set up on the drawers my friend I love it. Very nice how you did the inserts and thank you buddy from Doug

[@onsapplikasies8620]

Man that was the best intro ever. Love how you talk to your kids. And yes, they are adorable. And yes, I liked the storage ideas as well :-)

[@btd2516]

I totally agree with you about sanding the parts, it shows a higher degree of pride and professionalism in your work.Great interaction with your kids, leave it in.

[@barbarafeeney5262]

Those kid s add a VERY SPECIAL TOUCH to your intro! Loved it!

[@mikeandlucky]

Thanks for being a great dad. We need great dad's.

[@AGlimpseInside]

I completely agree I’m just trying to do my part brother thank you

[@Muscleduck]

Nice cleat wall. Loved the "biggest fan" dad joke 🤣

[@elizabethmorton3998]

LOVE your videos!!! Especially love the kids being around, that’s life 😊. Great idea on the magnet board with the resting shelf, I’ll steal that idea for sure. The CA glue video would be super helpful, it would be nice if you can make it 👍 Keep up the good work, your videos are a pleasure to watch and I always learn something 😊 Thanks Chris!!!

[@gamerdadperspective5935]

I am finally installing my french cleats and man your videos are so wonderful. Love those little moments. They really warm the heart.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Awesome thank you so much brother glad you’re enjoying it

[@chrisshannonmoeller781]

Great video that gave me some ideas for my shop. Love seeing the kids in the video.

[@ChuckJ7777]

Love it. Gave many ideas on what to do in my small workshop. The intro is great and so real life. Thanks for keeping it in.

[@Zogg1281]

11:55 Wow! You even have a drill powered toilet brush!!!! 😋😂 I love watching all your video's, especially when you are showing different ways to improve your shop layout. I'm definitely going to be drawing on ideas from your shop when I'm finally able to carry on working on gettìng my work shops working and not just the storage space and dumping grounds they have become. I also love seeing another maker who isn't afraid to show their children in their workshop. 👍

[@nodak_dad6698]

Loved the intro! As a fellow dad, I can relate!

[@richyhancock7703]

I love your channel! Your content has inspired so much of my own shop. I also am a huge fan of your interactions with your family and the fact that you leave it in the videos. Please keep doing what you do!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you so much Mr. Hancock. It really does mean the world that people reach out and say such things. Thank you again

[@julioacevedo1035]

I have to say you are by far one of the best in the game. I especially like the fact that I'm not the only one who sands everything down so it could be smooth to the touch. Lol. Keep up the good work.

[@DreamWorksWoodShop]

Great job Chris I really enjoyed the new organizational tips. I’m all about organization LOL..Fun watching the kiddos run back-and-forth also make it a great day buddy! Stay safe!👍

[@Johadart]

As always, another great video, and learnt more, kids are getting bigger. Great Job 👍👍👍 Joe

[@wilkinsoncarpentry6278]

Definitely do a video on CA glue , I’ve recently started using it at work so it will be good to see what else u can do with it, I’m finding new things all the time

[@keithrayeski3147]

TRIPLETS!!🤣 she’s adorable…you’ll apologize when they are all grown up and you didn’t brag to us on her!! We’re the guests here…no apology necessary!!😁👊🏻

[@Rob-Hannon]

I love that you don’t edit out the family interactions that happen while working and filming.

[@martyclack8782]

Nice Job c Chris you given me some ideas for my new shop. And I want to commend you. nothing is more improtain than family you are a good example for ones that have children.

[@andyboybennett]

The girls are great! They're Waaayyy more important than any shop!

[@samnaderiofficial]

You are the man brother!! I get inspired when I watch your positive attitude making cool stuff. 🙏🏼🛠👍🏼

[@akairborne]

Best intro I've seen in ages, possibly ever!

[@Cliffepoos]

A couple of useful ideas there that I may well use. Kids are a credit to you and your Mrs as always. Love the vids, please keep em comming.

[@joeskewes9618]

First you have have a nice shop and some of your ideas I will be stealing for my shop at work. Second don’t apologize for what will be probably be your most fond memories of your kids and your life it’s awesome seeing happy kids running around enjoying being a kid while their dad can work at home very cool l, wish I had my boys with me all the time

[@sirnearlyheadlesnick]

Magnets are the way forward, thanks for reminding me of this neat idea 🙂

[@UsernameWasLost]

Just found your channel, just wanted to say that your kids are adorable and that I love your energy and positivity. Keep up the great work!

[@tson]

Out of all woodwork channels I keep up to date with, your channel has inspired me the most to continue and commit to converting my storage solutions to French cleats. I just sorted my pallet wood slats so I can plane and cut them into cleats tomorrow!

[@howifixit6206]

Top caliber work. Pride in what you do

[@puckluck2357]

Love your cross cut jig and out feed table!

[@Xquisitink]

Great video and you are so right, sometimes we put things where we can at the time but we forget to go back and move it to where we need it.

[@FranksDIY]

I've had 3 of those magnets for years and i love them. Probably paid too much for them from snap on tools but i think it was worth it. I have to say the idea of extending them out is an idea i have not thought of . Thank you for that.

[@barryroberts6470]

Hi Chris, blimey your kids have shot up in every video i see them in. As for the French Cleats as usual some great ideas there, and the Magnets i have used myself, they are a very handy addition to any shop to put small tools up on. Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)

[@zafarsyed6437]

Extra points for the cute "interrupting" intro! (Clarification: cuteness of your daughter) 😁

[@nosreuter]

Thx for a ton of helpful tips on this channel that I can implement when finally starting up my first garage/workshop 👌 Real life is wonderful, good to see that you love the little boogers 💞

[@lourias]

My son my be a vehicle mechanic, but a French cleat system similar to your would be a great addition to his home garage spaces.

[@adamdearing918]

Love watching your videos including all the family bits! 👍👏👏

[@BrettsWoodshop]

This vid popped up on my home screen. Nice shop! And great job on your videos! I'm a KZbin Noob and pretty new at woodworking. I'm also a new subscriber of yours. Thanks for sharing and God bless!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thanks Brett I appreciate you hanging out and being here. All the best to you keep at it

[@juliushoffman15]

I bought some Starbond CA glue after watching your channel. I used it on a piece I just built for my daughter. I appreciate when you show how you use it. It is great to see the unexpected breaks. I always look forward to your content.

[@keithmapes5758]

I'm a mechanic by trade. After seeing the French cleat wall I am definitely going to be doing this in my garage. Great addition to the workbench area. Thank you for sharing.

[@tomjones5783]

Great post! Lots of good ideas... You might want to cut too the chase and scroll about 2 minutes off the front

[@rustypage602]

Almost to 100k subs. Congrats on a great channel with great content. I say that and I’m not even a wood working person. Just appreciate good quality content that entertains.

[@stansbruv3169]

Your real life looks like you guys have a lot of fun! As we all know… that’s what dads are all about.

[@mariangraham9074]

Loved the intro! I needed a laugh. And I can always use some more ideas for organizing the mess that is my garage/new shop! My creativity is stunted apparently! 😜

[@kirbyspencer538]

Just discovered your channel. I also have a french cleat problem and use the harbor freight magnets. My favorite magnet applications are one for bastard drill bits - those that no longer live in an index - and the other for straight saw blades; hacksaw, sawzall, jig saw , bone, etc. You're just a pup, but if you evolve as I have you will eventually embrace the fact that pegboard is a better option for dense arrangement of smaller tools/supplies like those you want near your bench - just start with a chunk of pegboard about twice the size as you think you'll need and hang it from the cleats. (make sure you get the pegboard with the TRUE 1/4" holes) Cheers!

[@chrisp7957]

Great video and tips. French cleat won’t work for me right now but I am heading to H/F to get those magnets. Thanks

[@josephhornbostel9506]

Wow this guy special he actually lives a real life.

[@samstirling4279]

Another completely awesome project, makes an awesome backdrop. Cheers Chris from another Glimpse inside your brilliant ideas

[@thomasvilhar7529]

Thanks for the magnet tip. I will make some for my wall.

[@natesroomrule]

i purchased starbond from your link about a month ago...i just used it last night for my first couple French cleats for my wall. I finally got my recip saw and router finally in their own home!

[@stevehall773]

Awesome video, thank you! My only other comment: my heart paused when, at 3:25, you fit the slotted pieces together right above the blade while the saw was still on. I did something similar the other day and it scared the crap out of me when I realized what I had done.

[@Wisskey8t9]

I like how you did this video, great ideas on your wall like your extension cord reel ....myne is currently on the roof which is convenient, but would like another one set lower and different locations. Thank you for ideas

[@jvl3215]

Lovely shop.My shop remains nice only when I am not working.Using the table saw for a couple of hours covers everything with fine dust.I use a basic home vaccum set , nothing fancy.My shop also doubles up as an art studio and a library.And of course my tiny home office.Cleaning up after a project is a nightmare.Cheers from India 🇮🇳.

[@brentfowler2317]

Awesome idea man. Once I get out of this tiny 80 quare foot shop im in now. I'll be building some of those.

[@bcwilhite1]

Hi! love the content, would like to see more on the CA glue use in the shop. Also, I wanted to mention that heating up zinc plating can be toxic, I know welding it without removing the zinc plating can be dangerous.

[@rogerj.fugere3570]

I believe galvanize is also toxic. From what I remember the "cure" is drinking whole milk for galvanize. Is this true?

[@Ch1mpyCh0mpy]

Inhalation of fumes from heating zinc plating can cause acute metal fume fever. Galvanizing is a process involved in zinc coating. This intoxication can be caused by heating other metals like brass that contain zinc. Drinking milk, although widely practiced and thought to protect against fumes from welding or painting has no proven benefit

[@Ch1mpyCh0mpy]

The small amount that Chris may have inhaled is unlikely to cause a problem.

[@larrymccameron3520]

Love the video and I love how you stop everything for your kids good job on been a dad can't wait to see more videos and do you have any tips on a small building to keep stuff more organized

[@donsdiys1140]

Great idea. The best thing is if you do need to or want to move them it’s easy just pick up and move.

[@profcah]

Love the video and the family inclusion. Should looks great too! I’m getting ready to put my new shop together and this helped clarify a lot of how to for me!

[@bee-u-tifuladventures4771]

Very cool idea! Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share your ideas. I have watched a few of your videos, as I am in the process of trying to tidy up, organize and make my tiny 12x24 workshop more user friendly. This video made me a subscriber and bell clicker. I'll be watching for more videos. Thanks again and Happy New Year to you, your family, and all of my fellow woodworkers subscribed here. :-)

[@062809]

Thanks for the great ideas and now I have to dig out my old yo-yo.

[@woodandwheelz]

I'm in the process of setting up my shop and I'm sure I'll be implementing some of these tips. Thank you. I used to live in FL (G-ville Ocala area), I'm in GA now and I must say that I don't miss the heat. Mostly because it gets that hot up here too. LoL! Great video, you have a new subscriber too.

[@albdrew21]

best intro ever, Family!

[@walkaround6313]

I’m projecting a similar tool wall, thanks for the inspiration!

[@JoeGP]

a little pro tip from a video of chinese woodworkers, you can predrill a little hole/indent for the screw to grab more easily with the tip of your Philips driver bit

[@qmoonwalker3847]

Ahhhhhh! Just found this video! This is what I was looking for!

[@doughaber3330]

Nice job! I like how you pack out the magnets. Smart! Have you organized sandpaper? I made a box with many dado cuts for sliding shelves. I actually used pegboard for the slidibg shelves because I had it and it's light. Also slides nice. It changed my life. Also made a bin on top for sanding blocks and steel wool. That was an after thought so it's a separate structure about 4 inches high and I fastened with pocket holes and glue. It's not on a french cleat but it may end up that way. The sandpaper us lables on the side face. I saw it on another video. Well worth the time.

[@accountunknown4487]

just found your channel and love it id like to see how you come up with your plans/ideas?

[@alanlau3278]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing the great ideas

[@monarchblack3004]

Next time you want blackened screws (or anything steel), heat them redish hot, then quench them in oil (any kind, motor oil, cooking oil etc.). That will blacken and harden them. Great information you share, I learn a ton from you!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Awesome thank you so much I appreciate the tip

[@ramonocasio9573]

Dude love your video's. Also love the family feel you and your kids bring to the video's. Great ideas for the work shop. I will like to see an video on CA glue.

[@Vintauri]

Nice to see the shop continue to evolve! I've been doing some organizing in my shop space as well. It's so nice to have space to work and things put away to just jump into a project. I need to restock on some starbond as well, thanks for the reminder on the code!

[@erikbogart676]

I've been fight parts bins pretty hard over the last year. Currently my newest challenge is one you'll notice you have soon enough. Those drawer separators are great. I lined mine with peg board, dowels in the dividers make them interchangeable. The issue is small fasteners in small sections. I had jars years ago. They took up too much room, but I loved dumping them into my hand. I can't stand trying to fish something out of a tight spot. I'm working on a bottom that can be raised but then my dividers have to be fixed. I'm not sure where I go from here, but ill eventually get there. Good luck

Hi buddy. Yes, live does happen, and because you include it in your videos is why I, and I am sure many other people love this channel/site. Man, she has you in her pocket. Believe me, I know the feeling. My daughter has her own children and she still does. I've been eyeing your table saw sled for a while now. Did you make a video of the build. If so please link it for me please. Thanks and stay safe my friend.

Just got my 1st order of CA glue from Star Bond WITH my 15% discount thanks to you 😁. So my vote is in for a short tutorial on the use of CA glue. Thanks for the cool idea with the magnets from Harbor Freight (which they recently opened here in my hometown) I will be employing that idea very soon!

[@RealRuler2112]

Easier way to make a chrome screw dark is a black sharpie; lasts for years. Your kids are adorable. =)

As a busy career-chasing father, I missed a lot of "unscripted" moments with my kids. Now that I'm a grandpa, I never mind interruptions from my granddaughter. I may not be productive, but I'm making memories!

[@jeremybrews2521]

Pretty cool, someday soon I would like to make a french cleat system.
