Ultimate Drill Charging / Storage Station | 60

[@ToddCubFan1]

Zach, I’m so frustrated. I bought your plan, downloaded it, then you tell me I have to have a software, 3D sketch up, to view the plans. I have to download that to view the plans, but you tell me it’s free. Okay, so then I try to download that, and it insists that I must buy a plan, ranging from $119 to $699! I just wanted to support your channel and buy the plans. Wasn’t wild about paying $4, but I’m certainly not going to pay over $100 to be able to read them. What gives? Are you just shilling for this software company?

[@workshop_edits]

Todd - I can understand your frustrations so let me just respond to a few things. EDIT - For the below responses - here is the link for reference for anyone interested: workshopedits.com/design-files/drill-charging-station-sketchup-design 1 - This file was free for six months when the video was first launched, and the benefit was to people who were my long term subscribers and those that found me in 2020. I have since, for the past 3 years, charged for it as it is my most popular design file. That is also in the description of the video. 2 - In the video I call it a Sketch Up design file, not plans - I never once mention they are plans. 3 - If you read any part of the purchase page for this design, I tell you in the first paragraph that they are designs for purchase, and then in the second paragraph that you'll need SketchUp to view the file, and purposely link to TWO ways to get the FREE browser format, or download the FREE desktop version, it just won't be the 2022 version which you do not need. Why didn't you read any of this or use these options as I very clearly suggest? 4 - When you go to buy the plans - you'll see the FIRST thing that says "WARNING - This is a DESIGN ONLY file; these are not comprehensive step by step plans. This is a SketchUp 3D model of my drill charging station build that you can purchase and use as you see fit for your future builds. Material cost for this build should be $50 for plywood, screws, and glue. There is an available written article and 12 minute free video as well to walk you through the assembly." I personally cannot help if you did not read any part of what you were purchasing. And no, I am not shilling for this software company; in fact, I am doing the opposite and providing access and information FREE software that most people are unaware of, and that has been enormously helpful to me as a creator to learn basic 3D modeling and build better projects. Request a refund if you want, but I cannot help those who don't help themselves.

[@UriValdez]

This is pretty cool! I would add another piece of wood on top and store batteries and at the bottom to store screws

[@john27609]

Beauty!

[@TheEcorristine]

Absolutely fantastic, you make it look so easy. Really love the organisation. Edginuity at its finest.

[@workshop_edits]

Thanks - important to put in the prep to get the design right for your specific needs for these types of project - then its just fun to build!

[@TheEcorristine]

@@workshop_edits absolutely, I'm currently rebuilding my benches,shelves, storage space ,slide out drawers and mobile outfeed table/ bench for my table saw and just finished my insert for my sliding mitre saw , 12" kinda caught me for the dust extraction hose but hey after a few mods and we're good to go. The better half just bought 400euros worth of wood so I have to have something to show for it,plus I think she's gonna dump a load of crap in my workshop.. Am a newbie now ,only started out about 12months ago so everyday is a learning day. Thanks for the really helpful videos, keep up the great work.

[@MrCmonReally]

Love it. Maybe consider building a small box your circular saw would sit on that would allow the blade to hang off the side, then you saw would sit flat like everything else. Good build and love the cable management!

[@workshop_edits]

I’m 100% doing that tomorrow with the extra wood. Thanks for the reco!

[@michaelleas]

7:26 I like what you ended up doing with the wires. Looks good bro 👊😎

[@workshop_edits]

Thanks - glad I made the change too!

[@createfromscratch2399]

Thanks Zach! This is exactly what I was looking for. I think I will be tackling this today!

[@workshop_edits]

Good luck!

[@kylesantos]

This looks great! Good job.

[@workshop_edits]

My #1 fan!

[@ronswoodshack3855]

Nice work!! Subbed!

[@workshop_edits]

Thanks for the sub!

[@09ironman1]

Very nice video. Making mine today

[@workshop_edits]

Sweet!

[@GarlandLym]

Stumbled across your tik tok. Happy I did, as your KZbin vid is great

[@workshop_edits]

Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the longer version!

[@JohnCWildcat]

Bro, your organizational skills just took me from 6 to midnight. This was a real "why the hell didn't I think of that" kind of video. Nice work! How many times did that speed square save the day? LoL. Liked & subscribed, fosho.

[@workshop_edits]

took me two years in my space to come up with the idea - definitely one you stumble into and then ask yourself why you never did it years ago...

[@dabluox]

Very nice build. As I have only Roybi battery tools, I’ll probably make something very similar except as I have two gang battery Chargers I’ll mount one on each end for battery storage and charging. Thanks for the insight.

[@workshop_edits]

Those gang chargers are awesome - would help make the design more efficient on the sides and also allow more storage below!

[@walton905]

This is a great idea I was looking for something like this thanks. :-)

[@workshop_edits]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jx14aby]

Well done. Thanks for the idea.

[@workshop_edits]

Thanks for watching!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great job on the storage station Zach! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP

[@workshop_edits]

Thanks for watching as always!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Zach! Have a great week!😎

[@IsaKocoglu]

Great build!

[@workshop_edits]

Thanks!

[@RoxaneJ14]

Omg my dad and I need this, our tools are always such a mess !

[@workshop_edits]

Been two days and I love how much better it is!

[@dockjm]

Sweet build. Could even box-in the power strip, and add a door for access??

[@workshop_edits]

thanks! i suppose - its barely seen as is and the box would just make it bulkier - you'd be better off recessing it higher up and out of the way and leaving that space for more side storage in my opinion

[@iangardener3464]

Elegant solution.

[@workshop_edits]

For a more civilized shop

[@rtalbott7]

I guess there is a file in Sketch up somewhere? I've open up such.. but do not know where to navigate.

[@workshop_edits]

It’s linked in the description for purchase.

[@rtalbott7]

ahh, i was not looking further.... my bad...

[@Livepilot512]

Nice build I will be copying you!

[@workshop_edits]

Enjoy - it’s the best shop furniture I’ve built to date!

[@workshop_edits]

This project has a SketchUp design file below you can purchase for $4 incase you're interested in building this exact one or a modified version for yourself! Link: workshopedits.com/design-files/drill-charging-station-sketchup-design This is design only!

[@offgridsweden]

Looks awesome man. Have an amazing week, Andreas 🇸🇪

[@workshop_edits]

Thank you 🙌

[@sambojobo]

Great build and thanks for the free plans. SAFETY POLICE WARNING: You really need a new push stick. Make one that holds down the piece as you cut it. The one you used is just asking for a small piece to flip up.

[@workshop_edits]

Thanks for watching. I’ve used a SawStop with that push stick (the one they provide) for two years with no issues. I also have a feather board to mitigate those issues. I’m all for safety, but you’re pushing it a little

[@daverobinson6384]

Can’t believe you have the expensive SawStop and you use a cheap push stick that bends as you push through!!

[@workshop_edits]

Used it for over two years. It’s what comes with the saw!

[@frankeversley5541]

Zach, Great video! I bought the sketch up file, but I don't see the any dimensions on the plans. That's why I bought the sketch up plans! Do you have the dimensions you can share with me?

[@workshop_edits]

It’s a file you pull dimensions from. There are no overt dimensions in the file

[@brianwilson7849]

Really like the design and functionality. How far does it stick out from the wall? Concerned because I wouldn't mind doing something similar but I need to mount it lower to the floor and space is also limited in that area.

[@workshop_edits]

maybe 10"; it needs to be big enough to actually hold all the tools since they have minimum sizes

[@georgenettlesjr1466]

Can you tell me what brand table saw is that? And how can I purchase one of those units where you slide back and forth and cut pieces of wood?

[@workshop_edits]

Yup - see below for the table saw and sled! SAWSTOP 36” 3HP PCS: amzn.to/3cr1dJO ROCKLER Sled: amzn.to/3porqAb Zach

[@chardi7]

Am I missing something? I thought u said free sketch file at the beginning I’ve your vid? Was it just for a limited time? Great build.

[@workshop_edits]

It was originally free for my subs when I launched the vid but now it costs a little bit to access.

[@shawnhall6803]

Do you have plans for this that I can download or purchase??

[@workshop_edits]

if you haven't already, there is a sketchup design file - not plans - on my website, and a written article to go with it (not step by step, but enough to take inspiration, pull measurements, and adapt for your needs). Honestly, if you're at all handy, I recommend just designing your own from scratch to fit the space

[@wstibbs1]

Great!

[@workshop_edits]

thanks!

[@ashlee32]

Would a 1/4 piece of plywood work just as well?

[@workshop_edits]

No, it wouldn’t work well at all. Needs to be at least 1/2” or thicker, with 3/4” preferred. The only thing that could work with 1/4” would probably be the backing but if you’re using 1/2” or more for everything else you might as well use it for overall rigidity.

[@seantjohnson]

I thought you said the skp file was free?

[@workshop_edits]

It was free when the video launched for my subscribers. I have since made it for purchase to help support my channel. Best

[@anthonygasparini1734]

Nice video but! Should have incorporated a dedicated place for Batteries!

[@workshop_edits]

All of those top shelf areas could easily store 6+ batteries, I just chose it for tool storage. Also easily expandable to add more height or a shelf below the chargers

[@djdettlinger5527]

just curious what your dimensions are.

[@workshop_edits]

SketchUp file is in the description

[@peterevans8194]

I love the basic design and build, but the big holes for the plugs being visible, and the janky extension cable on the side spoil the otherwise ultra clean look of the build. Functional? Absolutely, no argument there, but there has to be a way to conceal the extension lead and plugs...

[@workshop_edits]

Well, what can I say at a time like this Peter other than I’m so sorry for disappointing you.

[@peterevans8194]

@@workshop_edits Not disappointed at all, more thinking out loud...As I said, the build itself is excellent; I think I just have a phobia about chargers and power cords!

[@workshop_edits]

I think you’d find it looks pretty well thought out in person. Sure maybe the chargers could hide the holes in v2, and the power strip might be concealed, but there is also a balance between practicality and ease of function versus trying to make it totally concealed

[@adampollock7168]

Thanks for the help bud. Just subbed -fish207

[@workshop_edits]

hey thanks! glad it worked out!

[@Kianrui]

Am I the First people to watch, like, comment?

[@workshop_edits]

I'm very very honored

[@JNDCreations]

Why so many drills? I’ve got 1 😂 maybe one day I can build one of these

[@renee2005]

🥰

[@seanmurphy377]

How do I open the file?

[@workshop_edits]

Download it and open it with SketchUp 3D (the free version). That’s what I designed it in and use for all my projects. DM me on IG with any questions.

[@chrismoore9997]

I highly recommend standardizing on one brand of battery powered tool for battery interchangeability. I have about 16 of the Ryobi ONE+ batteries from the small 1.5 Ah to the big 9 Ah and use the Ryobi tools exclusively. There is no reason to have two different kinds of batteries to deal with.

[@workshop_edits]

I don’t want to commit to Ryobi long term. I have their tools now but will slowly over time replace with Ridgid as the Ryobi go out or commission. I have more than enough Ryobi batteries that I can power anything I need while I make the long term swap. Plus Ridgid has a lifetime warranty.

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

There's tons of reason for it lol. No single line of tools makes the best of everything. I guess if you like to settle, then you can stick to one. I have a huge assortment of Makita, Milwaukee and Dewalt. Makita makes the best 18V power tools in general and that's my main platform. However, Milwaukee makes the best 18V cordless nailers, so I have batts for those and some other M18 tools. Then Milwaukee also makes the best/versatile 12V line IMO, so I have a whack load of those tools and batts. Then dewalt makes the best cordless Orbital/Planer etc so I need batts for that. Doesn't bother me one bit. I need the best of any tool I use.

[@workshop_edits]

@@evictioncarpentry2628 100% - Investing in 1 type only means you're stuck on that line - Ryobi certainly is lower tier and there are much better options out there. I started out with Ryobi because it was affordable and it more than works great for me, but I want better quality and better long term tools as I continue too get more into the hobby

[@mikeknoll2865]

Confusing plan buy options.

[@workshop_edits]

why's that? also they aren't plans...

[@rkrzyston]

the "free" file is now $4.00?

[@workshop_edits]

Yup! Thank you for your support.

[@rustyp21]

I guess the “free sketch up file” costs $4...

[@workshop_edits]

This video came out over 8 months ago; the SketchUp File was free for the first two months. I've since made it a for purchase file to help support my channel. Cheers.

[@sidgar1]

The real question is why do you need so many drills? 🤔

[@workshop_edits]

You really don't - but man having multiples of tools that have set functions really makes working more efficient. Cheers

[@sambojobo]

That is a terrible question. Stop it!

[@bobhebert871]

so did i really just pay four dollars for a picture of your build with no cut list? Nice, thanks for soliciting the donation

[@workshop_edits]

You paid for the SketchUp file that has the cut list within it. It clearly says in the first line that it is NOT a set of plans.

[@bobhebert871]

@@workshop_edits so this is how you rip people off on you tube? Nice reply you child! I hope this makes people want to subscribe. you basically charge for sending nothing, then blame the patron. Watch out everyone!!!!!!!!

[@workshop_edits]

“WARNING - This is a DESIGN ONLY file; these are not comprehensive step by step plans.” First sentence dude. I’ll happily send you your money back if you admit this is your fault.

[@bobhebert871]

@@workshop_edits this is not a DESIGN genius. It is nothing more than a picture. Keep the $4, you seem to need it more desperately than i do. I hope everyone reads this string

[@workshop_edits]

It’s a SketchUp Design file. Do you know how to use SketchUp? The entire cut list is laid out for you on a sheet of plywood against the model as well. You can use it to build one to exact dimensions or use it to modify for your own needs. Second sentence “This is a SketchUp 3D model of my drill charging station build that you can purchase and use as you see fit for your future builds.” Again. All you have to do is acknowledge that you made a mistake and I’ll refund you. Not my fault you didn’t read the product description of the purchase ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@jjalsk4029]

if you are going to charge for the plans and sketchup software, at least give a pic of the girl in the bikini without the bikini top.
