I also got lots of ideas for my workshop build/organisation. I’ve been procrastinating on the drawers, but I can see how they’ll work now. Good timing, Thanks for the video 🤓😁

    Gridfinity is great! On the off chance that you have Ikea Alex drawers, they're a near-perfect fit in those too. I printed a couple of spacers to get the base plates centered, there are a couple of screws on the inside of the drawers, but any boxes clear those screws if the grid is centered.

    Looks great! I want to get rid of the many storage boxes that I have and have started looking into the gridfinity system. Seems like a very good solution. I hated having to dig into the little compartments, so I printed some bins to fit inside each space so I could take them out like you mentioned. Being able to print bigger ones to hold the full boxes will be even sweeter. - Chris

    Hey Johnny! Great project restoration! Yeah, in the color build, you never add the lighter color to the darker. Always add little by little the darker to the lighter because the darker ones are always a LOT more powerful. Sorry you had to learn it the hard way. Next time, if you make the same mistake, at least change bucket but don't add the whole mix into it. Pour a new bag of yellow into the empty bucket and then add the mix little by little. Otherwise it seems endless and you will waste tons of paint. Now I'm curious to know what green were you looking forward to. Was it more of a lettuce green? Kind of festool/featherboard pro green? I like the pulls! Excited to see a new woodworking video from you 😊

    Great video. Looks great. I actually used your plans a couple years ago built one. I was just a little concerned about the weight of the whole thing so I actually welded up a tray out of angle iron for the table to sit in. I welded some "tabs" at each corner to mount the casters and feet. Still love it.

I swear that it looks exactly like a shop another guy built on his channel. The old west style front facade, and the way there is a build up of soil to the garage bay door. There is a side door on the left side of the building to?? Just curious.

    For the drawers, rather than CA glue or the stickers, couldn't you have put down a few lengths of non-slip tape? One quick peel to stick to drawer, and go from there. Though I'm not sure the 3M nonslip tape is as tacky as the stickers doodads, I figure a little less drag over a greater surface area would solve that. Just a thought, anyway. Haven't built much of anything yet, certainly ain't organized, so it's a genuine question as to whether there'd be any advantage. :P Only came to mind because I just used the tape for a couple sets of painter's pyramids I printed last week. A month ago, before I used the stuff, I might have floated using velcro; I tend to prioritize what I have on hand over what's ideal these days. Can lead to derpy mistakes, sometimes, but learning is a process. If you want to excel, you've first got to make peace that you're going to fail, basically. :P
