[@jackheilmann3739]

Did you reference the Scarlet Pimpernel???? What the what?!

[@makenchips]

Yes! 3D printing

[@ryandury]

The only thing I disagree with is that you said you're not a real channel. You could argue that the smaller channels are actually more real than the larger ones :)

[@wittworks]

very true! I was saying "real" with sarcastic quotes

[@ryandury]

Cheers@@wittworks , love the content. Keep it up :)

[@Str8UpRevving]

IMO, seems like the big channels are just sponsor sell outs. If it works, more power to them. I just prefer to make things on a budget. And most of the time, the tools are budget friendly.

[@Segphalt]

The "real" channels turn into affiliate salesmen in a hurry and just get an unsubscribe from me.

[@Aaron-nj4ou]

Couldn’t agree more. My favorite part is when they tell me they are “unbiased” as their entire shop is covered in a specific brand.

[@Buildistics]

Yes, a video on 3D printing for woodworkers would be awesome! 💥

[@clcphoto]

Agree. I really want to start designing things but I'm currently stuck on figuring out Fusion360

[@ExTexan]

+1 on the 3D printer video. 👍🖖

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

There are plenty already. Try 'Darren's workshop' - he has done dozens of videos on this topic. Many of my own toolholders are printed, and I use printed trays for components, color coded to the size. Tool handles, jigs, clips, there is no end...

[@ryanbrooks3241]

Witt, I second this. I am a beginner woodworker and have started incorporating project specific 3D printed jigs (mostly router templates). Would love to see a video from you on this. Keep up the great work!

[@jamescamper4906]

yes,yes,yes please

[@brianhdenver7551]

“The person that works with their minds must rest with their hands” is brilliant. I’m on a computer all day working in CAD, and wood working has been a really healthy hobby to create something tangible.

[@wittworks]

thats why!

[@theepebble214]

I've been working on sewing & piano lately, I end up on Revit all days as well and its super nice to see a tangible change in the evenings.

[@bluedragontoybash2463]

fact !!

[@OzzieOzwald]

I can really appreciate as a new wood worker, that this channel isn't a "you need to buy this and buy that" type of channel. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@wittworks]

Thanks 👍

[@kaymack5304]

My hyper fixation on organization means I could watch this all day. Genius!

[@kevola5739]

I luv my pegboard. My shop is constantly evolving and keeping things seen and not hoarded has made this constant evolution the most efficient at reorganizing. Pegboard 4 feet down from the 8 foot ceiling covers 3 out of 4 walls of my shop. I had to cover it with something so this made it look consistent in spite of things constantly moving. From building projects to staining lawn furniture to bike club meetings to snowblower tuneup with half a dozen neighbours to having a beer while sweeping up at days end. After 40 years in my shop putting everything on wheels, good lighting, and pegboard were 3 of my better decisions. Heating the shop was the absolute best decision I ever made. Buying a huge box of pegboard hooks from a shop shutdown sale still leaves me with hanging options.

[@christopherlamoureux8617]

It blows my mind that you have become so integral to the community. You've been brought up in every podcast that i listen to, in a positive way, yet you are a smaller channel... you shouldn't be. I appreciate you, we appreciate you. I think i can speak for all of us when I say that we are enjoying seeing your channel grow, and feel you deserve so much more.

[@wittworks]

Thanks! The massive debt I have taken off to pay for all these podcast mentions…it’s crushing…actually…I have no idea how it happened. Grateful though. 🙏

[@igoslomo]

I’m a 61yo new woodworker and I love your channel! And I love my new hobby… who’d have thought I’d discover a new hobby in my 60s??!! I’m struggling right now with organization so this video was very timely. Thank you. As for 3d printing? I’m dying to learn but am very intimidated - buuittttt probably won’t let that stop me. Would love a series on how a woodworker gets started with 3D printing.❤

[@FixtheGodofBiscuits]

A guide to 3D printing for woodworkers? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I'm interested in 3D printing, especially what it can do for home and shop organization, but I know absolutely nothing about it, and I've stayed on the fence about buying a printer because I'm afraid of investing a bunch of money into it, only to find that I should have bought X instead of Y. I'd love what you've done on the topic of woodworking, so I feel I could trust the thoughts and advice you'd include in a 3D printing guide.

[@TheRealPlato]

i am a novice to both woodworking and 3d printing. I paid $220 for Neptune 3 Pro, I am finding it useful and fun and infinitely easier than the options that I looked at in 2012 and 2020. The printer has good hardware, but I have some small complaints about its software. Bambu Labs is considered top of the line. Ankermake M5C is a sub-$500 option that (based only on youtube research) would be my pick if I wanted the cheapest printer that Just Works and is easy to operate. I use Blender for modeling. OnShape is probably better for you. MakersMuse has an excellent video titled "Selecting a free 3D CAD option" discussing differences and has modeling tutorials too.

[@hansangb]

And "yes, please" on breaking down the 3D printing. It's a perfect compliment to shop greatness to borrow a phrase.

[@wittworks]

You got it!

[@AGlimpseInside]

What can I say but thank you. Your support is greatly appreciated. Also, what you’ve done in this video to me. Is the most fun part about setting up a shop. The trial and error finding customizable. Perfect little spaces for things. Absolutely love this.

[@wittworks]

I will not be a part of your french cleat system...ok...maybe a little...thanks for showing me the way

[@nosreuter]

The line "from when they had that proctologist sell..." came so out off the blue it made me blow my nose clean from a sudden burst of laughter 😂 I love your sense of humour!

[@handmadeprecision]

Great work Drew! I'd love to see a 3D printing video.

[@garymiller5937]

You just showed me some of the most genius storage ideas I've ever seen. I can't thank you enough!!! I too am a firm believer in using what you have instead of buying new. I guess I got that from my Dad, who saved every scrap of wood, etc. This is an awesome video and I give you a 5 star review. Thank you so much!! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@rodgerbright3764]

Excellent! For years, I’ve been using plywood as my backdrop. The main differences, I simply paint mine with chalkboard paint, and then use different lengths of gold screws with a little bit of tubing over it, and then I placed my tools extremely close together, and then outline them with a piece of chalk. Moving things around is super simple.I only make actual holders like you have when the tool absolutely requires it. But similar concepts and I really like. I’m going to incorporate some of your ideas.

[@Shadoweclipse1386]

This is great. I too am a big fan of Mr. Savage's perspectives on shop infrastructure. He's quite intuitive and wise about how he organizes his space. I've been doing similar things, at times making a whole weekend around tool storage and cleaning up as well. The only thing I do really different from you is that when I make specific tool holders, I mount them to French cleats on my walls, so I don't have to think about where the tool storage goes in the moment too hard. You can always change things up at the drop of a hat. French cleats were a game changer for me.

[@tangocharlie9291]

100% love this. I’m a graphic artist and I always have made custom shelves or my pencil cups, straight edges, etc, out of black foam core & push pins to secure them to whatever wall is in front of me. Everything I use frequently is RIGHT in front of me. Infrequently used stuff goes in drawers.

[@thomashendricks9774]

We just moved into a new house and I can have my own shop for the first time. I just purchased two sheets of Peg Board, because thats how I thought shops should look. All my friends have Peg Board, Peg Board is everywhere. However I think you convinced me to go your route. Thank you!

[@bradrhodes7055]

Wow. This video was awesome. So many ideas. And i agree with you about how satisfying and stress reducing this stuff can be. I solve massive, complex and stressful problems all day at work. Solving small problems feels so good. I've been convinced i need French cleats but this helped me realize that while i still think cleats are awesome, i don't need them for everything. I've seen dozens of KZbin videos and most are really the same but this is the first one in a while that i found really unique. It triggered my thinking, gave me some ideas and got me excited. Great job. I'm excited to see more from you.

[@billyblackie9417]

These are really great tips and I'm organising my workshop putting everyday needed tools nearby and occasionally used tools further away. Trust me your channel is very real and in the bigger channels they show how they make things instead of showing the audience how they can make things and are only a waste of time to watch

[@jesseelovaas]

Love it! This is exactly the reason I started watching woodworking KZbinrs. For amazing ideas like this for my shop.

[@OutrageousAspect]

I stumbled onto your chanel this morning, im not a woodworker, at all. Im an artist and crafty, but my mind exploded with the possibilities watching this and your shop drawers/cabnets video. Thanks! I'll be watching, I like the way you do things and think.

[@TheGabb3r]

Funny how your storage ideas come at just the right time, I was currently in the process of creating a more fluid work space in my lil' shop. I'll be borrowing some of these, thanks Drew, great video as always!

[@wittworks]

that's great! would love to see what you come up with

[@claybowser698]

Very helpful! I was looking forward to this video. My town has about 2000 people. Harbor Freight, Lowe's and Walmart are like 20 miles away. Most of my tools are from the cheap seats but I still like them meticulously organized and cared for. My chisels are all really cheap Harbor Freight and box store stuff and after some work on them, they are excellent tools. Some of my most treasured tools are from garage sales, church fundraising tools sales and thrift stores. I got a Stanley Bailey 4 1/2 hand plane for like 17 bucks! Anyway thanks a bunch for cool videos.

[@onehappydawg]

I have my small shop somewhat organized…..one of the best feelings in the world is after I get through working on a project, when I hang everything back up and put everything back in its place, then vacuum up all the saw dust and blow all the remaining dust out with my air hose. Everything is organized and clean for the moment. It’s like a blank canvas and I’m ready to start creating again 😎

[@normanbott]

Totally agree with the pegboard rite of passage. I started with that and the awful Terry spring clips ! My wall mounted tool cabinet has all the custom shaped wooden holders, including in the 2 fully opening doors. Drill bits, Forstners, sanding drums etc on the wall behind /next to drill press. As a hobbyist , time is precious so a well organised shop means more productivity and a whole lot less stress for me. Brilliant video.

[@udp1073]

just found your channel AND I am already a subscriber, amazing video. there is a real psy value in organizing and decluttering, it start with simple stuff, like your desk or a drawer and payback big times, then, when it jumps to a higher level, like a complete shop (and what a shop you have Sir) then it can really be a transforming experience, because from that point on, you will not apporoach any stuff in life like you previously did... it is like doing thing (any and every thing) witha "less clutter" mentality, which most of the time means also less waste of resource et all. truly an inspiring video, thanks a lot for sharing

[@bartman59laj55]

Wow, talk about good timing. Your video came up just as I’m finishing insulating and throwing up OSB on the walls of my shop. Next step is organizing all the tools and accessories I’ve collected over 50 years of building stuff. Thanks for the ideas, liked and subscribed

[@frankiepezzolla]

You may have less subs than other maker channels but your humbleness, talent & ability to think outside the box sperates you from most in a positive way. Your love of the work you perform shows in your attention to detail & amazing ability to teach it through your effective communication. Keep up the great content & you will see your subscriptions climb & your dreams all come to life. God bless you & your family.

[@rbzbreezy]

With all my favorites out there. I have to admit, adding you to my current regimen of woodworking videos was a battle I had. I didn’t want to like you at first. It was inevitable, why is everyone in this community so awesome. Welcome to my list of favorites.

[@nicholaswerthmann5641]

Absolutely yes to 3d printing for the woodworker!! Also I’d love to see more about your Ron Paulk style drawers, I’ve been wanting build a similar bank of drawers for my shop, I even bought the smart trailer plans back in 2020 to do just that. The video you did for him actually brought me to your channel. I must say I’ve not been disappointed. Keep up the great work and thank you for the inspiration.

[@andrewbieger5004]

GREAT stuff! I have picked up some neat tips for tool holders from this video. My 'tool wall' is actually several areas of plywood throughout the shop, as I've NEVER been a Fench Cleat fan. Your holders fastened with just a few brad nails is still VERY 'rearrangeable' (if that is a word), and only a couple of pin holes to fill in.

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Great advice. I caught the French Cleat virus, and it transformed my 1-car garage shop. I found great enjoyment in creating & building the “fixtures“ for the wall. Love the twist on your usual tool brand humor (“WoodFreight” square, red “Hart” square). Seriously, I’m going to try to remember & apply the 1st, 2nd, 3d order of priority use something or other.

[@BigBadBaj71]

I decided to put this on in the background as I was waking up...I work third shift. Unfortunately been out of work for a while due to some as of yet unknown medical reason but I digress, I've been spending the time in the basement getting my old workbench / shop area in working order again. It's been about 10 years since I really used it. Life happens and it was always a place I could escape to, And I needed it now. It was hidden under 15 years of accumulation of now passed friends and family member's tools/stuff(some I had to look up online because I didn't know what it was or what it did). When you said "He who works with his mind must rest with his hands" I had to rewind it and listen again because that's what I've been doing my whole life but never heard it put to words. You've gained a new subscriber, not that I watch a lot but.... I've had to figure out ways to hang everything from the big floor beams overhead because the walls are made of the rock from the river 300 yd away and impossible to mount shelves or pegboard on.

[@daifeichu]

Thanks for doing a video like this to help me, and hopefully others, to get their backside in gear and get their shop in order. I put up peg-board years ago and I hate it as well. It's really fun when you're grabbing something from it and end up knocking something else off. I have made a few nice holders right beside the peg-board but I just decided that the peg-board is coming down this weekend.

[@timhoffman-jj9dd]

I can tell you how much I enjoy your channel. Ok, well I guess I kind of just did. This was inspiring. I have been in shop set up mode for a month now trying to get ready to start my at home business and this was an eye opener. Thanks again and keep on keeping on!

[@Patrickitron]

I covered my first shop in our basement utility room with four walls of pegboards! I was so proud. Making your own tool holders was such a revelation. I use those peg boards now to hang an eclectic mix of all the crap I make. It's ever-changing. It's like a museum exhibit. So I guess it's good for that. After this video, I think you have convinced me to get rid of the last remnants of pegboard in my new show. Really great Ideas! Thanks.

[@RedDirt_Cowboy]

GREAT video my friend. Im about to build a work bench in my corner of the garage. Dont have much room because we have 5 kids and the wife parks in the garage as well. So this video is a HUGE room saver for me. You are the MAN!!! Salute to you!

[@tcbridges]

Just found your video and I think you are one of the best I have watched and am learning from. Keep them coming. Would love to learn how to use a 3D printer. I haven't bought one because I don't know much about them to spend that kind of money on it. I am 76 and just got into woodworking 3 years ago. I got hooked on Festool and Harvey. Bad for a retired old man. Ty

[@NanaStillLearning]

I’ll probably never have a 3D printer but I love videos that show the interesting things you can do with them. Loving this video. I bought a pegboard last year and never put it up. My project this week is to get organized so this couldn’t have come at a better time.

[@amrand82]

Best woodworking video I’ve watched in months. So refreshing. Thank you. And yes, a starter guide to 3D printing would be amazing. It feels like just “another thing” to get into and that’s putting me off.

[@jon.parsons]

Easily one of the best videos I’ve seen on tool storage! Comes at the right time too, as I’m in the middle of re-arranging my workshop and was about to go buy more pegboard…

[@J4Julz]

I love this video so much. Thanks for putting it all out there, lots of little possible ideas to get my go-tos right there where I need them. Bravo!

[@johnhanley5235]

Just discovered your channel and it’s already my fav woodworking. I love all the tips and you general anti-gate keeping vibe.

[@wittworks]

Thank you! I strongly gate keep all the gate keepers.

[@ElmntFire]

When we bought our home and I finally got space for a shop, I inherited a used door for a workbench and a pegboard backer. This is the inspiration I needed to finally get rid of the pegboard and start storing properly.

[@wittworks]

that's where I started! Not bad, but lots to improve on!

[@matthewalbers5926]

For foam used in drawers, I've had success using a router with a straight router bit to cut out the shapes of tools. I did it free hand, but first, I traced around the tools with a razor knife. It more or less scores the "skin" or the foam, leaving clean lines around the edges.

[@grahamcairns2249]

I just wanted to comment and say how much I loved this video. I believe you have ignited a passion to build organization for my shop(garage). Thank you so much for this!

[@MrsAdiletta]

madly jealous of this shop - the tools, the cleanliness, the light, the organization!!

[@ZachAshcraft]

Some really great ideas in here. French cleats have never worked for me. I love the idea of having everything instantly accessible right where I need it. Think I need to make a trip to Plywood Co. and line my garage this week

[@RCake]

Drew, for me this was among your best and definitely most entertaining videos ever - thank you 🤩 I absolutely loved the second yellow-handled chisel first disappearing, then showing up in the bin, then being saved after all 😂

[@johnmadden9575]

This is great! Started to use this type of approach cause my shop is overwhelmingly disorganized. Time for me to ADD proof the shop and make it my own. Thanks for the ideas!

[@SuperPashaKitty]

These are great ideas! I’ve also found those issues with traditional pegboards. I’ve found slotted pegboards work great, though! They are, of course, more expensive, and so are the attachments

[@andrewliberacki2674]

@wittworks you’re welcome 😉 I really like some of these storage solutions, I might have to upgrade some of the tool holders on my triangular lazy Susan cart! I am really happy to have been able to be at least some small inspiration. The “yes, and” vibe really resonates with me, and it’s cool to see it in action.

[@JCMoorer]

Drew your videos are some of my absolute favorites to watch. Thank you for making them! My track saw plug thingy is working so well. 👍🏻

[@wittworks]

Great to hear!

[@DrNickBailey]

Wow - that is genius - thank you for sharing and showing what joy can be found in the simple things of life. Just wish I had the space for a table saw....

[@davidmeyer9204]

Yes to the 3D printing for woodworkers video or series of videos. You know I am going to steal most if not all of what you showed us today. Great job Drew. Thanks for sharing!

[@adamwhite7762]

What a really good, well thought out and excellently presented project. As a fellow woodworker, shop organization has often eluded me. Not long ago I became the owner of a pretty nice work space but it needs a dose of tlc and your simplification of this undertaking feels like the push I’ve needed. I also really enjoyed your commentary. You’ve just gained a subscriber! Keep up the good work.

[@wittworks]

thank you

[@jasonhagen]

Fantastic video Drew! I loved all the easter eggs throughout the video! This gave me a few items for things I want to make! Keep up the great content!

[@shitbmxrider]

JFC, I just sat bolt upright on the couch watching this at 1.19am with that "the person who works with their mind" quote. My word, that has brought together some thoughts I have been mulling over for months, thank you for sharing this

[@wittworks]

thank you. good luck on your bmx career. I know you can turn pro.

[@Aeroliten]

Cant believe you arent at 500k subscribers yet... Mark my words, your videos deserve to be seen by all new and old woodworkers

[@wittworks]

where do I send the check?

[@slowfinger2]

Excellent stuff. I worked in many different shops, and have rigged up many variations. The one tip above others, is to keep bench clearance of at least six inches from the bottom of hanging tools. Sweep up is easier, and safer under chisels. Screw boxes and temporary stuff can slide in below. Far less likely to knock a tool off it's perch. More effective bench room.

[@wittworks]

great tip!

[@truker1970]

I've been wracking my brain and wanting to get away from the pegboard in my shop and your video just gave me a ton of idea's on what to do. Time to let the mind rest and put the hands to work. Great vid, thanks.

[@steveferguson1232]

Great video Drew. I love your outlook on life. I’ve bought a couple of your 3d items and I need to get some more. For me personally I would love to see you put together a 3d video for woodworkers. And I want to know more about the shaper trace, mainly if you feel it is worth the expense. Great as always. Can’t wait to see your finished shop in your new home

[@5ElementsWoodworking]

Great video! I saw Adam as a keynote speaker at a conference I went to (Strange Loop) and he talked about 1st order retrievability and he is really passionate about it. I believe the end quote was "F*** drawers!". +1 for a 3d print for woodworkers, I find my printer super useful in making jigs, weird sized hole guides, corner radius jigs, etc, etc.

[@franks4973]

You have some really nice simple ideas. Thank you. For me it’s about those odd shaped tools that take up a lot of space.

[@johnbradwell3834]

I have a garage that deals with an entirely different kind of work (mostly working on cars) But me and my buddy who use the space have taken a similar philosophy towards garage organization completely by accident and it’s been great. Good video!

[@KlayJones]

I remember my first pegboard 12 years ago. We brought it home on the roof of our old little Corolla. We didn't have tie downs, so we each held one side with our arms hanging out the windows 😂

[@wittworks]

oh man!

[@lucasjw]

Love to see a video on 3D printing - basics, woodworking related, but also those tool holders you have that flex to hold things. How do you design, size, and generally plan for elements you intend to have flex as part of the piece’s overall function.

[@chadjewsbury6167]

Yes to the 3D printing video! I’ve been toying with getting one and am overwhelmed by the options. love your editing style and content!

[@AnneDougherty]

Very cool approach, and a great way to get to know your equipment and feel ownership over your shop. Thank you for sharing.

[@richardmarquardt6246]

Yes, just ordered a Bambu printer on Black Friday. Shop fixtures would be #1 projects!

[@Tmrfe0962]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Am no where close to the level that you are, as far as wood working, but…..my work space, (can’t call it a shop🙄) is in need of these ideas and more, and they will definitely enhance my time I spend there, and, I’ll enjoy employing these great ideas! Thanks once more….

[@randycosgrove3608]

I have a pegboard wall in my shop. Have had it for a very long time. A few years ago I re-organized things and built tool holders similar to the ones that you show but made them hang on the pegboard by mounting the pegboard hooks into them. And that I could work on bit by bit as I had time. I did follow your general tip in that I put the frequent use things close to where they would be used, on the wall, not in drawers and bins. So pegboard isn't all bad. It's just how it's used.

[@swtsummerjasmine]

I have zero tools, but this does make me want me to get creative in how I organize other things around me. Thanks for the video, I'll share it with other people I know: 1) have more tools or 2) just needs organizing inspo.

[@57z]

I’ve been a sub since around 30k. But I’m super shocked you’re still below 100k. Your no holds barred approach to being real with the audience makes this one of my favorite channels. Regarding 3D printing insight please do! I’d like to see how you go from initial conception to actual modeling on your computer to finished piece. What is your editorial process? How do you get the design into the machine?

[@AaronGeller]

Commenting on his videos like this helps get more views which leads to more subs 😊

[@Aaron-nj4ou]

Great video as always. I need to do this. My shop time is limited so I have gotten use to accepting the disorganization instead of spending the day or so it would require to organize the tools and build the holders. In the long run if I spent the time I would save time and frustration but I am stubborn 🤷‍♂️

[@rDunfee]

3D printing for woodworkers sounds great! I've been printing for over a decade but I always love fresh takes

Where have you been? I’ve watched a lot of woodworking videos and I just found your Chanel. You explain really well and and I love your sense of humor😂 Right now I’m thinking how to make a plan for my husband to build me a custom peg board for my sewing room, usually I make the plans, watch KZbin videos and ask him to make it 😂 he is a beginner, but making things for me and our house house, he found a new hobby that he loves😅

[@philiptenenzaph6128]

my shop is a small one car garage with a tremendous amount of tools. They are littering the walls, as I too subscribe to the "first order retrievability" ethos. Loved the video! It's awesome seeing you put together the new shop.

thanks! Fitting most of it in the 1 car bay too

[@billybike57]

I’m always open to change, I went to peg board direction and “slumps head” I still have some inside cabinets for storage but watching this has reopened my imagination to other ways. Thanks for this episode

[@wittworks]

Thanks! The possibilities are endless

Everything about this video is awesome. Especially your Roy Kent bit followed by the hot mother joke. So great.

Drew what a great video so many great and amazing ideas to get organized. I would love to see a video series on 3D Printing the more I watch what can be made on them I want one. Just scared not go with technology and computers but need to start learning more of that stuff so yes would love to see more of that

[@davidd4944]

This is maybe the best KZbin video I've ever seen. I'm going to watch this in slow motion over and over. It's mind melting how many ideas are here. PLEASE do the 3D printing video. I love 3D printing and designing in Fusion360, but struggle with reasons to use it. Is the Shaper Frame useful for 3D printing? I had dismissed it because I don't have an Origin or a laser.

I've been intrigued at the concept of 3D printing for the woodshop for a while now. I enjoy incorporating technology into woodcraft whenever possible. That said, I know very little about 3D printing in general and while there are other channels/videos that cover the topic; it would be interesting to hear your perspective as a woodworker. You could do a whole series covering what printers/filaments you recommend, which software you prefer, tips/tricks of operating a 3D printer, and of course how you incorporate a 3D printer into your workflow.

You have such nice equipment! I have a 1 car garage... I don't have a lot of room to put things. My work bench is full most of the time. My secondary work table is 2 old saw horses. I have 2 chop saws one works when it wants to the other has no guard. PLUS I have a table saw that has a clamp to keep it running. I use a leaf vacuum for my dust collection. I have a box fan that has a pc of dacron for a sanding dust collector... I guess I won't get into my tools LOL. I guess with what I have I do come up with some cool things to make. Interesting shop project on your show though. I will have to give it a try?

[@FJBsaidcornpop]

Fantastic organizational ideas but I don't even have time to build what I'm trying to get done as it is. Maybe in my retirement life but quick peg life is for me right now I guess but saving this on my playlist. Very nice video!

[@wiseoldfool]

I've really enjoyed making tool storage from scraps. The time taken to make these things gets saved over and over again by not having to search for stuff! I'm interested in a video on 3d printing for woodworkers. I've been printing my own dust collection fittings.

[@JBCavern]

This was my first time here. I'm inspired and have subscribed. I look forward to learning from you.

[@peakcoww]

Hi Drew, your efforts to make great content are coming through. Definitely an inspiration. Can't wait for the 3D printing video. I would like to see a project where 3D printing and laser cutting can be used to compliment each other.

[@EngineerMikeF]

If U have lavish wall space, Witt's solutions look great. If you are space constrained its better if tools stick out from the wall instead of laying flat to use less wall space per tool (e g. Carpenters square). The purchased hammer rack is a good example out stacking deep instead of flat

[@oakandaxecustom]

Thank you for the encouragement to organize my shop more. Lots of great ideas! Keep up the good work!

[@drewpickard554]

I like alot of what you did there. And I agree its great to just go bang out projects like that. One additional thing I'll mention because I am also cheap and clever lol, that I didnt see. Harbor Freight magnetic strips. When they are on sale they are dirt cheap. So I have them spread out all over my shop and keep specific tools for each station on them. Like im talking by the band saw/router table/drill press Ive got all the allen keys to the machines tool change and drill chuck keys. CNC table ive got tool change tools, picks, exacto knives digital calipier ect. Just takes being able to just grab what you need when you need to a new level. I feel like mag strips are the failed dream of a pegboard. I had one initially, seems like a great idea, but in practice your picking up all those little holders from behind a table all the time. I do agree with how you did things and theres value in having your workspace be pretty and something your proud of is the big thing

What's actually stupid is -> me watching many of your videos over the months and realizing right now that I wasn't a subscriber LOL. I am now part of it with full notifications on. Seriously you're really good at making interesting videos and totally deserve way more subs!

[@kevinwak]

🎉my first time on your channel and I love the video. ❤ You are still sized to be practical to inspire the average person to go make things, and not just super duper sponsored. Bring on the 3d printing for woodworking video.

[@treyhaight5378]

After 35 years of woodworking, I’m loving combining 3d printing with the wood shop! I’m very interested in what you might cover on this.

[@billybike57]

Just subscribed, lots of great ideas and when I saw you used foam rubber for shadow boxed your tools, me too! Thanks for sharing!

[@advancednutritioninc908]

Great idea on 3 D printing for the wood worker!! Yes! Thank You! This was a great video on organization !!!

[@worstworkshop]

Good stuff. As I work through this, I'm trying to keep an eye on what gets left on vertical surfaces, and where I most often find it. That's a good clue as to where it's supposed to go.

[@wittworks]

good tip!

[@paulkrivan1788]

I plan to buy my first 3d printer soon. Would love to see what you can do. Thank you for this video love the ideas, cant wait to get busy.
