WORKSHOP RENOVATION 15 : MASSIVE Shop Storage Upgrade

[@robertkerby2581]

I really like the Craftsman Shelving Units, and the Craftsman Storage Totes. Well done on getting your shop items into the totes, then labeling them for easy reference . Your ginormous shop is looking good, Well done!

[@AdityaMehendale]

It's like one massive Craftsman-advert

[@funtyes1970]

he probably should look in to craftsman taking on craftsman as a sponsorship cuz craftsman sure dont make good cordless tools anymore . i think craftsman cordless tools are very cheap and not as good like Dewalt and Milwaukee. just saying

[@dangflabit]

This is the kind of organization I live for! I'm def going to check out those note card sleeve holders

[@UKcomedyfan28]

Me too!

[@duli0015]

That looks awesome! For labeling, I would label the racks as A1, A2, B1, B2, etc for rows and columns. Then on the index cards I would write or print in the corner which one it goes into. That way if you ever want to move the totes, you're just reprinting the index card vs the index card and the shelf tag. Think of the rack spot as a warehouse location and the inventory that goes into that location may change over time.

[@craftedworkshop]

Great idea!

[@chadbrannan9443]

There you are! Way to get me hooked on a the workshop series and then pause the videos, happy to be "back in the shop!"

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, glad you're enjoying them! Hoping there won't be any more pauses from here on out, electrical will be next!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Makes me want to become a KZbinr! I have used Craftsman tools since the dawn of time and to be sponsored by them would be awesome. Well done.

[@craftedworkshop]

They make great stuff! Thanks!

[@markgambrill]

All the organisation gives the warm and fuzzys.

[@pwisc2115]

Solar system!! Awesome, man 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@debybrooke157]

Wow - looks great!

[@DrakePHOSE]

Aw dude please tell me you have a before and after of the shop from this storage project. That's the best part. Seeing the clutter become clean!

[@craftedworkshop]

Go back and watch the first part in the renovation series, this addition has changed a TON!

[@gdworkshop]

Great job Johnny . A lot of work to get that area organised and tidy . The compressors are big i wonder could they be stacked on top of each other with a frame to save room . Fantastic video look forward to more .

[@craftedworkshop]

For sure, lots of work but it feels so much better in there now! Stacking the compressors is an interesting idea!

[@daddywoofdawg]

They're proud of their shelves!

[@abyshepherd6944]

You can get magnetic tape that would be brilliant for the ‘on shelf’ labelling system. I used it in my old warehouse and it was a game changer!

[@craftedworkshop]

Good idea! Would be great to have the tote locations be flexible.

[@doubledarefan]

@@craftedworkshop There ya roll! Mag tape with P-Touch labels, and you can make all the little labels you need.

[@FoxdaleForest]

I saw that biscuit head sticker! I miss that from when I lived in AVL

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Johnny! It's looking much better in there! 😃 I started to buy some plastic boxes as well... Looong way to go. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@craftedworkshop]

You can do it! Buying the totes and actually organizing them are certainly very different tasks. As you can see from the dust, these totes sat empty for close to a year before I finally got to organizing them, hah!

[@MCsCreations]

@@craftedworkshop Yeah... And I already lost stuff between the organized stuff, so... 😬

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice video. Hopefully they work out well for you for many years to come my friend. Keep making. God bless.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks Jared!

[@TyZo]

This video made my OCD very happy. The shop is really cleaning up nicely! Well done sir.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks, mine as well!

[@darrylwood2271]

I recommend using a "boot tray" as a catch basin for your fuel tanks.

[@craftedworkshop]

Good idea!

[@ronlovell5374]

I use a metal storage cabinet in my shop with flammable stickers on the doors for my fuels, oils, solvents, etc. It's not a specific fire proof cabinet but it's heavy gauge steel and the doors have decent flanges all around them so I don't have to worry about sparks getting in.

[@doctormaddix2143]

That looks so good. I really like your labeling system as well. I might adopt that for my stuff..

[@marksmith0209]

Damn you must have a few hundred thousand dollars worth of tools just on those shelves - hooe a good sevcuriry system is part of the series!

[@laggmonkei]

I would add a number to each box and then have that number on the side of the shelf aswell. Makes it easy to communicate what box to get and where it belongs since numbers are easier then that one spot marked "staplers".

[@craftedworkshop]

Good idea!

[@chipbrown9780]

i found this series and really like your format. This video is your best due to your narration. In this format you sound natural, while on previous work you voice-over diction sounds a bit like Captain Kirk. Keep up the good work.

[@dansarfert3585]

You're after my own heart with the organization! Just wish I had the space to go to that level.

[@craftedworkshop]

Definitely nice to have all the extra storage space here!

[@katrinwansing6012]

This is my favorite series of yours so far! Great work!

[@MichaelYarde]

One thing I’d add to perfect the tote system would be a dedicated trolley (a little folding one would be great) to live next to the shelving. That way, you have a dedicated trolley to transport the totes from storage to work site, and it’ll make putting them away less of a chore. Carrying one by hand, no big deal. Moving say 4 totes, gonna need that trolley

[@craftedworkshop]

Good idea!

[@billybike57]

Always solid content, congratulations an the Craftsmanship sponsorship 👍🏼

[@craftedworkshop]

Much appreciated!

[@c.a.g.1977]

Your shop will be so awesome! Can't wait to see you in your shop doing some cool buiilds!

[@craftedworkshop]

Believe me, neither can I! Getting tired of being a construction/renovation guy, ready to get back to woodworking!

[@cguyrr]

about time for another update!

[@craftedworkshop]

I know, been too long!

Kudos on the solar! You'll love getting your free energy once everything is set up.

[@stevendietterle1771]

I love your broom, I have one just like it!

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, it came with the shop!

[@lkchild]

If you’re re-using those air compressors and you don’t know the history, make sure the tanks haven’t gone too rusty - nobody wants one rupturing. There are inspection plugs so you can inspect inside.

[@tullgutten]

Also you can hit it with a hammer underneath, if it feels soft or softer than the sides it is junk. If it is good you can fill it with evaporust to clean , then heat dry it and use some metall paint inside, only need lower half or 10cm as the rest will never collect any water or rust

[@ronlovell5374]

I wouldn't re-use them, especially not knowing the age/true condition of em and with all the moisture problems with the building/property, just asking for trouble. Also the size of the tank falls into commercial which requires state regulated inspections and certificates.

[@whatdaf11]

Depends on what the local regulations are for pressure vessels. Generally you find that when they are made, they have a certain wall thickness, and hopefully they have a name plate with a serial number and max pressure rating, and that will start to give you clues as to what wall thickness remaining would still be usable. From all this, maybe there is someone that can do pressure vessel inspection to determine if it's ok, but again, check with local regulations.

[@whatdaf11]

And another thing that I think is just as important as the tank is the safety relief valves fitted to them, may be advisable to change them with new ones, especially if you don't know their age. Again, check with local regulations and a local pressure vessel inspector

[@craftedworkshop]

Definitely going to look into this, just pulled the pressure relief valves on both of them to reduce the pressure in the meantime.

[@abesebag1085]

looks soooooo good

[@firemanj35]

Looking much better.

[@supHauu]

lookin real sleek!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@CascadeCreate]

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

thats a clean out on the pipe right next to your solar batteries. You may want to move the solar batteries somewhat to the right if possible or mount plexiglass on the left side of that rack incase you ever need to use that clean out.

[@dadlife8289]

@8:00 man look at those biceps! Dang man

[@craftedworkshop]

The wide angle lens definitely makes them look bigger than in real life, hah!

[@functionSam]

For the landscaping tools, maybe add some rubber mats on the floor that collects dirt & some such?

[@craftedworkshop]

Good idea!

[@kenleppek2351]

Looks awsome

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks, love the way this turned out!

[@RossTheGenMan]

any thaughts of putting a door between the addition and shop so the dust doesn't get in there on your gym equipment and storage?

[@craftedworkshop]

I've been thinking of those plastic flaps like you see in some warehouses. Seems simple and would hopefully work to keep the dust down.

[@MichaelNatrin]

Great video! Love the organization and overall clean look.

[@SentinentCoffee]

Is there any reason why you chose to build the racks individually instead of building them as one large rack? The stability would be a lot better if they were combined, like a pallet rack.

[@UncleSabbyPH]

Beautiful. OCD satisfied...

[@osocarpinterocarpinteria]

Wow, big upgrade

[@bradleydietz11]

Hey man, for your workout area- Tractor Supply Co. has rubber horse stall mats that are 4 x 6 ft for like 50 bucks. They are thick and durable, providing great support for lifting. Plus, this will increase the overall aesthetic of the area. Keep up the good work 👍🏼👍🏼

[@craftedworkshop]

I've got horse stall mats on the lifting platform, they work great!

You’re putting in a solar system!? That place is huge!

[@craftedworkshop]

Plan is to have 60 solar panels on the roof, should hopefully be able to run the whole place!

[@craftedworkshop]

Yes! Thank you!

[@joesmucker8012]

Looking good

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks 👍

[@MNSweet]

This entire video, all I was thinking was, was, "Where is the echo?" Very impressive audio work.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@MNSweet]

@craftedworkshop seriously, it sounds like a voiceover from a sound booth, yet you are in a room that would echo with one foot step, and I don't even see a lavalier mic. I'm really confused.

[@turborado108]

Has there been any planning regarding HVAC in this room? I’d imagine between the electronics and compressors, this room will have a tendency to get quite warm.

[@upgradedragon9430]

Love this! 👌🏼 So clean, organized, and uniform. 🔥 Double thumbs up for the gym too!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@nilubiswas058]

I will took over your shop if zombie apocalypse happen , it's so organised , cool job buddy

[@smikwily]

Might I recommend a labeling idea for your shelves themselves? Use the P-Touch printer to match them up, but put the labels on magnets or magnetic tape. That way you can easy move them around as needed without having to reprint/peel, etc.

[@ameno21]

How load are those compressors???

[@almostanengineer]

The lack of bolt downs on those racks scares the crap out of me, but that could just be the warehouse forklift operator in me 😅

[@itz_lexiii_]

i noticed you are skipping connecting together most of the shelves. Connecting them helps them be more stable

[@ssjauron92590]

Get some dry erase white board tape for the racks, you can cut them to size and just erase it if you rearrange stuff.

[@kyleshaffer9846]

Look into a small metal shelf for storing gas cans off the concrete

[@craftedworkshop]

Good idea!

[@sfkid57]

are the shelves mounted to the walls or floor?

[@HarrisonFord11]

This makes my OCD happy.

[@Quietriotou812]

Great video, I picked up some 3x5 cards because I love this idea but they look way smaller than the labels you have. Are sure your labels are 3x5 or are they maybe 4x6?

[@yomomma5295]

I love this video! I need to do this to my garage

[@sagau442]

I’m gonna put my 2 cents in Put clear packing tape over the label maker stuff it helps it from coming off

[@craftedworkshop]

Good idea!

[@steveboyer4137]

Could have some of the racking be used over the compressors... looks like a lot of wasted space above them.

[@craftedworkshop]

Good idea!

[@thisisnotmyname91]

Since your on the labeling kick, you should also shadow board your yard tools. That way when your done and cleaning up you know exactly which tool went where. Did you by chance ever do LEAN training? A lot of the organizing techniques you are using come from there.

[@yossid422]

Yes!!!

[@craftedworkshop]

First!

[@inconsteveable91]

Man I wish i had the insulation. My workshop is cold af atm.

[@SivertBerge]

EVERY TIME the bell sound comes I think it's my smoke detector battery that is low, haha.

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah!

[@tjh44961]

I'd suggest just numbering the shelves. That way, if you change the tasking of a tote later, you won't have to change two labels, only one.

[@laurinsstuff]

why are you removing the battery from the drill all the time?

[@craftedworkshop]

Legal safety requirements for the video. I don't typically do that.

[@brayton6683]

Just a thought I think the front exterior of your shop needs a new fresh coat of paint.But I'm probably sure this is something which you are planning on doing

[@craftedworkshop]

Oh, you don't like the mustard yellow? 🤣 Yes, painting is definitely on the to-do list but I'm going to wait for it to warm up a bit.

[@madsenbaum]

Why did you paint over the window?

[@daveklein2826]

Why not

[@craftedworkshop]

I'll probably scrape it off but that window is essentially useless, just looks into another part of the shop.

[@finntheirish13]

Is Pluto going to be a part of your solar system? 😛

[@DeepRafterGaming]

If a battery of such caliber malfunctions, for what ever reason, your metal shelf is toast and the rest of that room along with it. People seamingly have no idea of the amount of energy thats stored in these things.

[@Blackwater_House]

Don’t store plastic fuel can on concrete floor. Use a wood off cut to raise them clear of the floor.

[@chuckwhite6411]

No kidding! I think it's got at least an inch of useable straw left 😂

[@cityguyusa]

A robovac in a shop?

[@ronlovell5374]

Great job, as always but SCRAP THOSE COMPRESSORS! They fall into commercial pressure vessel category, and are extremely dangerous without monitored/regulated service, maintenance and state inspections. You can see the stamped plates and attached piping have been painted and they look far more than 10 years old. A failure in just one of em can be fatal and will level your entire shop!

[@craftedworkshop]

Interesting! Would it be worth finding someone to inspect them or just start fresh?

[@ronlovell5374]

@craftedworkshop I would purchase a couple smaller units that don't fall under commercial category, and put em in a cage. You hear in the news a lot about old or neglected pressure vessels rupturing taking people and structures with em. Stored pressure energy only needs a pin hole, which is definitely higher risks with age, internal rust, poor welds, number of welds or repairs. Old units should never be repaired.

[@scotter_dotter]

Where are the Craftsman red index cards?!😂

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, that would have been a nice visual touch!

[@monkeyCmonkeyDoo]

Nothing says poor planning like building racks and weighing them down, BEFORE you mount the inverters on the wall above them. Maybe you like stretching and leaning over something while hanging inverters on a wall?

[@MrOlympuse410]

Don't be like that mate. Have you never made a mistake?

[@daveklein2826]

[@cpwiththegt4779]

just a mere $17,000 worth of craftsman stuff in this video! lol

[@ronlovell5374]

Please don't take the risk! Scrap those compressors and buy new ones. With all the moisture problems you dealt with, size, welds and age of those units, they could be potential bombs. After a certain size they require state regulated inspections, as you can see the old boiler safety stickers on em. One tank that size can level that entire building in a failure. Not worth the risk, probably why they were left behind, they weren't worth moving or keeping.

[@clafournaise]

Now you'l have to move the batteries to get to the wall to mount the inverters... too bad those shelves don't have casters. IMHO, the Uline pallet shelves are much more elegant than those Craftsman... too many little parts.

[@craftedworkshop]

I think I can get them mounted with the batteries there. Casters would be cool but they'd have to be insanely beefy for this rack system.
