Making Use Of Wasted Space - Maximizing Garage Workshop Storage

Some power tools are put together in a way that causes them to create zones of wasted space.
The wall clearance required to accommodate a drill press motor creates an empty space behind the drill. That space can be better utilized.
A vertical drill bit storage seemed to work quite nicely in the space.

No dude!!! Was just sitting down to relax and watch some tube, and now I have to go back to workshop. Was toying with doing storage for drill bits at the bottom but this idea of yours is kick ass!!!!

[@ShopNation]

Oh yes, this was massively satisfying to watch. Great job! So many good ideas in your shop

[@susangopher]

Just saw this in the background of your newest organizer. Brilliant! and now I have to see the whole drill press stand...😅

[@juliushoffman15]

I had a larger small shop until recently. Now I have about the same amount of space as you. This is a great idea as are other projects you've done for the small shop. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of Woodshop Junkies binge watching!

[@blackwolf6046]

I love your work..❤ I still waiting for the last part of your drill press stand series. The drill press table. I like your way of maximizing the design for the ultimate version.📈

[@TheBirdman66]

just awesome how you think outside of the box to use empty space wish i could learn that trait! keep doing it and glad your feeling better!

[@quintusvandermerwe4138]

That is one hell of a drill press stand storage! Well done!

[@libertarian1637]

I installed a bench grinder on backside of my drill press bench. I also setup a battery charging station on one side of the base with sortimo organizers under the drill press side; the opposite side has a cabinet which holds sanders and sanding pads and belts. Works well in a small shop as it can be wheeled around and even brought right to a job. I keep my bits around the base.

[@billyblackie9417]

True every space can be used especially if you only have a small workshop area. I usually spend a long time just looking around the workshop to see how I can make good work of areas and convenience to pull out things I want to use and put away after use to clear center area for other jobs. I hate having to move a few things to get to what I want. Your ideas are a great asset to someone trying to utilise all areas convenient thank you

[@bernonic]

the entire self-contained mobile drill station is a great idea and well executed - cheers

[@paullobwein1632]

Despite having a little bit larger area I always approach from a maximising space thought process. This is a ripper of an idea. Sensational! Up there with the French cleat

[@essextwo]

Came into the video late, jaw dropped when I saw what it was. Marvellous concept.

[@linsen8890]

Another brilliant design! Great use of space! I have a really small shop as well, so your ideas for making use of space are really valuable to me. Thanks!

[@sac58999]

I agree: it's a great idea and I might have to do something similar...but I wonder what he means by a small shop space when he's got room for a full size table saw (I'm dealing with a two car garage and figuring out how to incorporate the tools I have while adding enough space for a contractor's table saw that I can use on the driveway and then tuck away).

[@petrusscott3038]

Excellent idea. Even in large shops this will be useful additional to a shop.

[@TigerCarpenter]

That is an excellent solution. Because I often do metal works I had to make my drill press oil proof so MDF/plywood were not suitable. I also love using my magnetic fence and magnets as stop blocks. I really like your space saving approach and your mechanisms

[@mikelastname]

Magnetic stop blocks - such a simple idea but I wouldn't have thought of it - I find adjusting t-slot bolts on the drill press bed annoying at the best of times, but switchable magnets do the trick perfectly.

[@TigerCarpenter]

@@mikelastname I actually built the switchable magnets and you can find it in one of my videos

[@ericrickert3045]

You are the master of cleverness! This is such a good idea!!

[@SteveMonk1956]

Like all of your projects and videos, this is pure genius!.

[@BronkBuilt]

You are one clever dude! Nice job.

[@ZS6JON17]

Goed gedoen Jean Goeie werk

[@XJRenovations]

Impressive! Very clever in how you reclaim space that most of us wouldn't even consider.

[@stefang1087]

Great idea 👍If your drill press is a good one otherwise, you don't have to worry about overheating.

[@Roachie149]

Love your attention to details. And your explanation as you move along in your projects. This is why I watch and will continue to watch your videos. Great job.

[@stuartkorte1642]

Another clever and useful idea you’ve come up with. Awesome.

[@billseto7920]

I enjoyed how you utilized the unit and the space saving features you have designed into it.

[@strokerace5468]

I’ve got to admit that’s pretty cool idea

[@jebivjetrich]

You have so many great solutions, I'll soon build my own small workshop and hope you don't mind me using some of your ideas 😁 looking forward to your next videos

[@kenl6880]

That is a great design. I think a solution to your airflow concern could be to slope the top forward by 30 degrees or so. This would also prevent the top from being used as a shelf to store things on that would get in the way of using the drawer and it would deflect drill shavings that land on it forward, reducing mess behind the stand.

[@DebHeadworth]

Wow! This is an awesome design and build!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@mikewood6076]

As always, Brilliant! Great Video and love the small workshop.

[@MrPatdeeee]

Awesome yet again; from "our" genius "kind Sir Junkie". Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@stephent1117]

Outstanding. Best wishes from the UK.

[@SaysDom]

Another absolute stunning build

[@AtomicProf]

This is a great idea. One of the few original ideas I have come across recently!

[@airizonneed1403]

It never ceases to amaze me the things you come up with. I consider myself somewhat creative but couldn't think up half of the solutions you do. Cheers for yet another awesome idea and superb craftsmanship.

[@martingagne3136]

again nice idea and design .... genius maximising space , my shop small too and your video are really helpful thx

[@johnvodopija]

I really like your space saving ideas. Now I’m off to watch the earlier video in this series. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

[@georgevoisin5414]

Another great build! Excellent innovation. That's why I subscribed.

[@johnkelley9877]

That is a great stand! Thanks for sharing this.

[@Samcraftcom]

Fantastic solution and execution!!

[@bradleythompson5073]

Actually quite clever. Good job

[@DIYGene]

Great idea and great use of space. Good job.

[@singhivan]

Fantastic idea and design of maximizing space and a wonderful execution of the project. Thanks for the great ideas

[@shawnr771]

Excellent design and build.

[@madmikemakes3056]

Really great idea Jean.

[@waynespringer3320]

Ingenious. Awesome job.

[@OZheathen]

Awesome idea I have so many tools that kind of waste some space that I could use something like this

[@martyjosephson4937]

Pretty Slick, Nice Job

[@drsbrettsavage]

Always great ideas and applications! Thanks

[@johnhardy-yp4lr]

Enjoy the videos and ideas.

[@wojo1034]

That is amazing. Great job and thank you for sharing.

[@rossgebert9422]

I really enjoy your episodes, extremely informative. Thank-you.

[@MrGeroth]

That’s awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@Oesterbrohammocks]

Brilliant solution! 👏

[@KenPem]

Thanks for another great video. I wouldn't worry too much about restricting the airflow to the motor - I think you'll quickly get sick of cleaning chips and sawdust out of your new drawer, and will start closing it when the drill is running :)

[@gregd.88]

Ya know... thats a good idea. I'll be making mine soon.

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Another awesome space saving solution!! You're the guru mate!!! 👍

[@denisefontaine-9398]

Bravo pour votre travail.

[@ianbishop934]

what a great idea always enjoy your videos buddy keep up the great work

[@zapa1pnt]

Great idea and result. I like the shop mantra of "Let us not waste space". Or, as Kelly Bundy might say it, "Lettuce does not waste space". 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RoyBlumenthal]

That is sheer genius. Yeeeeeeoooooow. Love it!

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing.👍

[@igorkrstic8060]

Great ideas. New subscriber because of them thank you Richard

[@1144panda]

Very ingenious!

[@foekie]

Well done! Looks really nice and always having the drills near the drill press is very handy

[@torinhalsey6313]

Wow, great project.

[@murphyrp01]

Neat idea. Thanks for sharing

[@MrSeminole77]

vertical drawer = genius!

[@Suicaedere666]

Killer.. beautifully done video, just.. wow brother. Nice work, thank-you for sharing, look forward to implementing this🤘🙌🙌

[@NathanNostaw]

neat idea. very handy.

Very nice project well done 👍

[@Thatbrownguy454]

Great stuff as always!

[@mergalinpillay2413]

Fantastic.

[@nialstewart8263]

Great solution. If you're worried about the motor overheating, move to the UK, it's not a problem here. 😁

[@mandyleeson1]

So well thought out 👍🏽🙏🏻

[@davidpeters8813]

Great idea!

[@digrat]

Very cool idea.

[@insideout144]

Good idea

[@robandsharonseddon-smith5216]

Genius. Again...

[@bpr50]

brilliant

[@terrymunsee6774]

Great design I haven't even started putting up my shop as I am a driver looking to retire and get started making stuff

[@benzmansl65amg]

Epic stuff

[@georgequalls5043]

Like it but would like something to ease the closure. Maybe a compression spring or a strut so it doesn’t slam down on a finger.

[@jeremygreenwood8501]

Ingenious and practical as always!

[@bevbub]

Brilliant

[@malcolmgriffin5391]

Amazing idea, well finished as always 👍

[@anthonyvincent9990]

i have been watching a lot of your videos and saw on your bench build that you have chow chow puppies and was wondering their names. I'm getting one this summer.

[@yasserhussein9252]

very good

[@marclamontagne494]

Très beau félicitations

[@progoproductions]

Nicley done, looks very neat. But if majority of the time it will be up, surly the cavity it sinks into would be wasted space still (the draws on the front could have been deeper). A nice shelving unit that could ocationally be removed on the rare ocation that space is required could have been a more efficient and easier build?

[@FranksDIY]

NICE JOB
