Small Parts Storage Boxes

[@woodstoney]

It's refreshing to see a young person take time to do things in a thorough, careful and detailed manner! Very nice project!!

[@pennyroyal3813]

Two coats of varnish pushed me over the edge. Great humour, great video and excellent humour.

[@Acecool]

Th 2 coats of varnish may have added enough thickness to fill the gaps which are currently present...

[@TheSoloAsylum]

Holy crap that was a heck of a project. This is the nicest setup I have seen yet. When you got out the varnish I said no way is he going to do that. 5 stars on this one.

[@MariusHornberger]

Hehe, thank you!

[@MrToolmaker23]

I am most impressed with your initiative regarding the router bearings. Most people of your generation would likely go and buy a new router. I am a tool maker, so I know what it means to take equipment apart and repair it. Good job. keep at it. The small parts boxes project is a testament to your tenacity and work ethic. Slow and steady wins the race. An analytical mind is one that must be constantly challenged. Keep looking for new things to try.

[@aussiefreediver]

MrToolmaker23 I would have gone and bought a new router simple because I have no idea about the first thing bout tool making or machinery. I think I was more impressed son his ability to fix that then his sheer tenacity to make the bloody boxes!

[@duczman76]

🤔 unfortunately it's almost impossible to repair the devices of today.the producers sell us only still electronic scrap with predetermined breaking points.and mist of them are now only for short time use - so you' ll need an eternity to finish your projects.

[@olgreywolf9688]

I whole-heartedly concur with these very positive comments. As an 80+ person, "pretend" woodworker, I very much appreciate your work ethic, procedures ... and your discipline! Very nice to watch. Keep up your work ... you'll be an inspiration to those who will count!

[@theopiner402]

I am impressed by your ability to push through a tedious project like this one. Very well done!

[@jimmymal]

Varnish joke was a nice touch. Good video and congratulations on finishing the project. You stayed the course, very well done!

[@matthiaswandel]

That's a crazy number of boxes. I use yogurt cups.

[@MariusHornberger]

Matthias Wandel I would use them too, but I would have to eat about 10kg of yogurt to get an equal amount of cups...

[@alexanderkahle2384]

mass production!

[@dogwoodtales]

alternatively he could just use those 2-3 of those plastic boxes in each row and then make fewer wooden boxes to take up the remaining space.

[@stupinoworkshop5710]

Wery good! I also think how to make boxes .

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks, yes I'm from Germany.

[@murraylowe8677]

It was very time consuming but if you have the time it is very rewarding to have exactly what you want. Great job with tons of patients. With that kind of tenacity you can do anything and do it right. The use of proper sized boxes also means you use the drawer to full capacity. Now you have something very worthwhile. Great show young fellow.

[@MariusHornberger]

Murray Lowe Thank you very much!

[@murraylowe8677]

Marius Hornberger You are very welcome. You always show such interesting posts. Thank you

[@aarevalo49]

Beautiful. It looks like a lot of tedious work. I admire your patience. Those of us that are not as patient are very envious of what you have accomplished. Congratulations!

[@MariusHornberger]

Alex Arevalo Thank you Alex!

[@yummboy2]

Man, that's a lot of boxes! But a super idea for better organization! I admire your tenacity and patience, really! Great job!

[@palabful]

Perseverance and skills on display. Now yes, that is organization. You are a hell of a kid.

[@CJWarlock]

Wow, respect for the power of will to make all these boxes in such a number! Nicely done! Greetings from Poland. Cheers! :)

[@sergiooliveira7226]

" I am gonna finish it with a couple coats of varnish...No! I will not gonna do that" LOL Your are such a young talented man! Thank you very much for sharing and inspire us. Greetings from Brazil

[@TheHeraldOfChange]

Awesome project. A lifetime's worth (or more) of well thought out storage in the wood shop, is worth the days of work it takes to make. "Measure twice, cut once" is an aphorism for all handworkers. Overproof the plan twice, then work it once, results in a lifetime solution to a nagging and unsatisfactory result. Well done, indeed!

[@MnktoDave]

That was a lot of work, but the best part is you got exactly what you wanted, by making it yourself. The (way overpriced) Rockler dividers would have worked, but also would have cost several hundred $ per drawer, and who has money to spend like that? Besides, where's the fun if you don't make it yourself. I really like the way you made them modular to fit in any order, well done!

[@lancelot1953]

Hi Marius, I just wanted to thank you so much for taking the time and effort to assemble all these videos about your workshop and sharing them with the KZbin community. You really helped me customize my own workshop. Thank you again for your work and enthusiasm, Ciao, L

[@chickenguru4]

Great build. It may be too much for me but it was 6 days of your life but many many years for you to enjoy being organized. Well done

[@MariusHornberger]

Thank you. Do it yourself and you won't regret it..

[@josephmfrederick3459]

I am very impressed. I wish I could make those. I could NEVER be so organized. Awesome job.

[@RambozoClown]

That is a crazy amount of work, but the results are just what you wanted. My hats off to you. I would have probably would have gone the lazy way and used the plastic boxes and built a new cabinet of drawers the right size to hold them.

[@MariusHornberger]

Rambozo Clown I think that would have end up in the same time exposure. + much more expensive, + lots of useless old drawers...

[@alplusmac]

I am using your idea for a curio cabinet I am building for some very small items. Having the ability to have different sizes makes the project worthwhile and usable. Thanks for setting me on the right course in my next project. I admire your tenacity... I would have quit at one or two drawers.

[@mattgrantham4097]

Marius, thanks very much I have made a number of the boxes (nowhere near as many as you). Two things to share, a 12mm wide strip across the front can be painted white and you can write size of the hardware. It also helps sliding the boxes out from their position in the drawer to the bench. Also had issues with the excess glue sticking on the blocks so I shaved the corners off the blocks about 2mm and it works a treat.

[@druggles1]

I love organization and projects like these, but I don't know if I have the quite the patiences you have shown. I commend you on your patience for such a project. Well done!!

[@objectsbydesign5447]

Incredible... The job, and the patience it took to complete it!

[@chandrasekhargrenze9211]

Hab mir schon zweimal dieses Video angeschaut, und bin wieder begeistert von deinem Arbeitseifer! Tolle Idee, mega viel Arbeit und ein super Ergebnis! WEITER SO!!!

[@xrateduser]

I admire you on so many levels for this. I would have given up!

[@omaranabtawi1446]

Great Job Marius. Not just with the boxes, but also fixing the bearings on the router by yourself... Way to go.

[@Cba924]

Das ist ja eine echte Sträflingsarbeit. Respekt vor deiner enormen Ausdauer. Da kann man leicht nen Boxenbaukoller kriegen.

[@jesper1406]

Wow!!! Looks like another great german woodman and toolbuilder, and a fan of #1 (Wandel) too! My local paintshopguy in Portugal knows what color "Wandel-green" is - there's no substitute! Like your workshop and this projekt is just amazing... Great job! Subscribed.

[@RickMcQuay]

You got me with the "couple coats of varnish", gave me a big belly laugh. You would have earned the Serious Over-Achiever Merit Badge.

[@juanchirino7135]

great job, this had a lot of time consuming but the result is fantastic. Greetings from Argentina

[@massoudmakes]

You have some patience making all those boxes , brilliant work.

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks, and I'm so happy that it's over now ;)

[@GaryTruesdale]

That was a massive amount of work! And the router fix mid-project. Great video.

[@soporte809]

One of the best Ideas I have found on youtube. It will help me a lot, I was looking for small peaces on my shop. Nice Video and a bonus Router Rapair. Thanks keep going.

[@MariusHornberger]

soporte809 Thanks, and good luck with yours.

[@Gardureth]

Youre a boss, your router broke and you replaced the barings, just as easy. awesome.

[@MrGr8golf]

Great job. You should be proud...it shows your skill, discipline and determination. You've earned another subscriber.

[@remowo_]

This is crazy organized...you 're also a bit cookoo but at least you're done with parts boxes for life :) . Congrats for the exceptional outcome sir!

[@cornebotha9155]

Awesome! What a strenuous project. I laughed so hard when you mentioned that you are going to varnish all of them...

[@chemcody5119]

Good video. I too was caught by surprise when you said two coats of varnish! :)

[@MrClickbang357]

Nicely done! Wow - that was a lot of work! I like the idea of building them around a block - one of those :Why didn't I think of that" moments,

[@MukhtharAhmed]

Awesome, I was thinking this guy is wasting time and resources but on looking at the modular fit, dude thumbs up. Keep up the work. subscribed...

[@notsunkyet]

Yes, it was an insane amount of boxes to make, but you now have a very functional, modular system that will last for a very long time and you'll be able to store like hardware together regardless of size. (Nuts don't need a box the size of one needed for corresponding bolts.) Besides, you can't get every piece of hardware into a yogurt cup. Very well done! And bravo for sticking with it! Varnish... LOL.

[@rickyb.9055]

very talented young man. He must have had a good teacher to inspire him.

[@aioria2278]

lot of work man, is nice to have individual boxes. thanks for sharing.

[@Steel-Pinnings]

Absolutely perfect, yes the sealer would be nice. It would keep them from exorbing as much of anything. But bravo my friend bravo!¡!

[@tommiestrydom973]

Enjoyed that. In fact I'm enjoying all your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them

[@timothyfagan5725]

Very impressive I learnt so much from it and yes I would say organised I look forward to viewing all your videos, thanks from Australia, Tim.

[@MariusHornberger]

Cool, thank you!

[@sergioespinosa6377]

Excelente trabajo, muy bien pensada la distribución de las cajas dentro de los cajones... lucen geniales.. te felicito Marius.. Saludos.

[@MacTech007]

Marius, excellent job and smart planning to make the modular boxes a perfect fit for your drawers. I haven't been able to find any 3mm MDF over here in my neck of the woods for ages. Now I know why. You got it all. LOL. I'm making some similar modular boxes out of 3mm 5 Ply Baltic Birch, since I have lots of premium Baltic Birch plywood. Cheers from Canada

[@TheRagingUnprofessional]

great job. you look very young for your skill level. thanks for making videos, it's encouraging.

[@holzmechanik]

Great job Marius. I love well organized shops.

[@Mr2at]

Incredible patience and skill.

[@brisolar]

I loved the block idea, i get through so much pain to make boxes like that!! never thought about

[@murbella7]

Of all the options I have seen so far, this is the best. Thanks

[@lennyc624]

lol, what a job. I love the idea, but I would never have enough patience to do it...and I have a lot of patience. I recently found your channel and I love it. great job on your projects and videos. keep it up.

[@code4pay]

Your dedication won my subscription!

[@johndoe-sh8uv]

Oh boy, that was a lot of work!!! Very efficient. Great job.

[@MariusHornberger]

john doe Thank you!

[@jamesallen6007]

WOW! What a very patient person. I need to make some part boxes, so I'll have to set aside 15 years or so!!!! Keep up the good work. 🇬🇧👍 P.S. I have now subscribed.👌

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Very nice. It turned out great. This reminds me a lot of the video I did on my small parts drawers. So many parts!

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks! Organizing for the win!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I've watched this before. But I'm currently reorganizing and setting up my new shop. I have plastic bins all over and hardware in different places. None of the plastic organizers are the same size, shape or color. This seems like a great idea.

[@taxyone]

Génial, Marius. Très bonne idée pour le système d'assemblage.

[@HansVledder]

A lot of work Marius, but certainly worth making the effort. Excellent result!

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks! They get a lot of use now.

[@epilotdk]

Watching this makes me so happy I have a laser cutter! I often make little boxes from 3mm MDF on it with nice small box joints.

[@barryroberts6470]

Great Idea (sorry had to say that) and a great project. I need something like that for my nuts, bolts etc but on a smaller scale than yours, don't think I'd have the patience to do that many. Happy Christmas and New Year to you and your family. Thanks. Barry from England.

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks for these nice words! Greetings back from Germany

[@loadzofhobbies4219]

That sir is the very definition of patience! Good work, really enjoying your videos. Ryan

[@MariusHornberger]

Thank you very much!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Nice job on the router repair. I like this idea a lot. It did look like a lot of work. But I have a lot of small parts to organize.

[@Rutce125]

I nearly had a heart attack when you said you were going to varnish all those! an insane amount of work. good job!

[@rasmis]

+John Gragg I nearly had a heart attack when he said he wouldn't. I live in a *very* humid environment, so I have to saturate and lacquer everything, or fungus and mould will grow.

[@ChadMc74]

I nearly had a heart attack because im obese

[@harvardmurrayinc]

this must have felt so amazing once you finished. crazy

[@fd4294]

I'm sure that you did dream about boxes for a while :D Good and great job talented young fella!! Keep goin'!!!

[@BIGGELATO]

and the end result though, it looks really clean and organized man, well done!

[@rljzathras]

Definitely a labour of love, but the end result speaks for itself. Well done.

[@davecline4966]

Young man you are to be commended. Such a well thought out project and you stuck with it to the end. I am really impressed that you knew when the bearsing were bad and replaced them yourself. You should be very proud of this achievement, well done!!

[@hendrikegen2202]

Mann das ist ein Projekt das Vater und Mutter erschlägt. Tolles Video

[@tonywatson987]

Excellent work Marius! Earned another subscriber.

[@steveandalyssa]

Looks amazing! Well done! Extra points for not giving up!!! I'd bet Fastcap's 2P10 glue and activator spray would have sped up that process!!

[@radarriffk7336]

A very good plan.Wish I had that much patience!

[@adlr9982]

Woooww thats right up my alley..you beat me on amount of screws tho😞but i love your style your a genius man...👏

[@bradleypedreira2810]

Determination young man is a good thing . Great job .

[@russellpindar7717]

Time consuming but worthwhile project. Well done.

[@VoiceAssistant]

This is what every working man's van or pickup truck needs.

[@dhirmer]

Great job!! Love that you made them modular! Your dedication and discipline to the project is much greater than mine lol

[@TomReagh]

My OCD loves this. Great work!

[@NomadMakes]

ROFL! I am dying here. Great idea! Nice vid. Love the humor.

[@petergdk]

Marius - you are a very patient man. I would have ruptured an artery from high blood pressure and stress before having finished half that amount of boxes. If you get the time, in one of your shop talks, could you please show how you mounted your router in the woodgears inspired router lift. I Know there is a couple of close ups in this video, but it still eludes me how you get it to sit straight. Plunge routers always have odd shapes, that makes it really hard, so if you could show in a little detail, that would be cool. I love that you use a relatively cheap 1050W router in your table. So many people think they need 3,5 horsepower, but you show people that it is possible to be quite frugal (at least until you bought your Hammer saw :) )

[@phillipdlee]

LOL...WOW what alot of work!!! I about lost it @ 6:45 when you said you were gonna do a couple coats of varnish.

[@rwind656]

I need to make some dividers for boxes or sets of individual boxes... Came to see what you used for material. And stayed. This was well done. Might use MDF if I can find it. We organized a similar collection of fasteners recently. But I looked around and found boxes with lock lids at the Dollar Tree, 3/$1. A bunch were knocked off the rack recently but the lids stayed locked.

[@whatever123651]

I guess in the end you were truly satisfied. Great work

[@AndreaArzensek]

Every time I think my life sucks in the workshop I come back to this video 😂😂😂

[@sonoflysystrata2]

Superb video (and I loved the dry humour!). Now you have set my mind to thinking about ways to production-line the process. Perhaps with finger joints on the box sides, to hold them together better (which would also let the sides and base be glued all in one operation). And during the glue-up ... make a wood lattice with slots, which would drop down on top of a batch of (say) 5 x 5 boxes, holding the whole set of 25 while the glue sets. That way you wouldn't need so many of the interior wood blocks.

[@TheStigiphone]

OMG!!! Nice work! Thats a LOT of boxes😳

[@MariusHornberger]

thank you

[@HomeDistiller]

Good job! I hope your draws have back stops.. I know I'd end up pulling a draw out to far a loose the lot on the floor... Oh and when installing bearings on a shaft only hit or apply pressure to the inner ring, you reduce the life of the bearing otherwise

[@nicolek4076]

Marius, I love the Frank Howarth impression right at the end! I think you show enormous "stick-to-it-ness" and a degree of obsessionality in this project. Well done for finishing what must have been something extremely tedious to do. One small thing that I wouldn't mention, but your English is so good, even down to the common mistakes made by born English speakers - the things you used to hold the boxes while they dried are called elastic bands. Perhaps if they were larger, some people would call them elastic belts, but I wouldn't.

[@MariusHornberger]

Cool, thanks for letting me know. By the way, my English got even better (more fluent) in newer videos.

[@mdavidf]

Great job, Marius! And don't let the "Grammar Police" get to you, especially since, as in Nicole's case, they often use incorrect grammar throughout their posts to correct others. You call the "elastic belts" whatever you want. Anyone with half a brain knows what you are talking about. Keep up the great work!

[@nicolek4076]

+David Friederick The comment was directed at Marius who took it in the spirit in which it was intended. While the comment is public, it does not merit any observations by a third party. So, butt out!

[@mdavidf]

+Nicole K - it's a public forum, I can say whatever I want to whomever I want whenever I want. And when I see someone in an ill attempt to correct someone else's grammar, I'm going to call them out on it every time. You are and were in no position to correct the grammar of a non-native speaker, it's not your place, your business, nor are you in any position to tell anyone to "butt out". You exposed yourself to the public and you are fair game. You want to keep this going? Then make another asinine, ignorant, error-filled comment.

[@nicolek4076]

+David Friederick It's a great shame that other people have to witness your comments.

[@markwallace4802]

Great job on the boxes, always enjoy your videos, please wear a mask when cutting MDF it's quite a dangerous material.

[@jofloresz]

Wow that was a lot of work! Great job!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@lightningthunder3056]

Great determination and good job. God Bess you.

[@bufford14]

It's good to see a young man so meticulous about his work. I get called a perfectionist all the time, but they don't see the imperfections I do. Keep up the good work. mark

[@nicholasgiampietro4404]

Time consuming but a excellent job...Well done !

[@MariusHornberger]

+Nicholas Giampietro Thank you Nicholas.

Hey Marius. Exhausting work and nice video. By the way, I'm pretty sure that when it must be done you'll find a smart and ingenious way to varnish them all. Let's say spraying them together or putting them in a bath of finisher or whatever...

[@MrLucaR80]

what patience! you did an amazing job!

[@STEVEBLACKA]

DEDICATION !! Well done Marius
