In my partners family, her father was given the nickname or "The Phantom Shelf Installer". Based on his habit of adding new shelves everywhere, to cope with the family adding more junk in any space available. When I was added to the family - I came with a similar set of skills and habits. So when Michel passed on I became the New Phantom. Every family needs somebody who can make space work effectively and organise things. I'm most impressed with your solutions and I hope the family appreciate what you can do.

You even stop-motion-animated the cleanup of the basement junk! Dedication.

I really love the wave motion you do with the drawers!

Your videos are always entertaining and educational. Thanks

The end result certainly looks top drawer.

Just when I thought this Sunday cannot get any better, Frank Howarth published a new video ;). Thanks!

Very nice. "32 junk drawers" is exactly what I was thinking

Lean Manufacturing concepts in the home. Very cool.

That was a whole family project. Looks awesome.

Fantastic as always Frank 👍🏼

2:03 These stop-motion cleanouts are not only fun to watch, but also kinda funny realizing how they're much more work than a simple cleanout, moving the items a couple inches, taking the picture, moving them another couple inches, etc., etc., _ad infinitum, ad nauseum...._ Appreciate the hard work, Frank! Great content!

A nice family project, Frank.

Fantastic idea and very well done Frank.

Optimised!!! Looks great Frank. 😃

Another cool Frank video! Life is good.

You are an amazing carpenter with your workshop and storage needs solutions.....so flexible. I love the way your family all rally round for helping you too. Your self-depreciating chuckle always makes me smile.

I've just done a shop tour of my little workshop and, after watching this, realise that your CNC table is bigger than my entire workshop! Loved seeing your storage solution come together. Greetings from the UK :-)

Great project, Frank! But it will get full sooner than you think. At 3:55, I thought "Seriously? They're painting the inside of the drawers?". I picked up some nice ideas here. Thanks.

Although your videos are all about the woodwork, I'm also very amazed by your creativity on how you edit and create your video. Your creativity is out of this world. BIG compliments !!

Half of it is metalwork. All the screws and nails in there....

Thanks Frank. I think the biggest shocker from watching your videos is just how quickly the little ones are growing up. Its crazy...

For labels like that I like to use Excel/Google calc. Just set cell size, make a visible black grid, center the text in the cells, print and cut along the lines.

That animation at the beginning has to be one of your best openers yet, Frank. That system came out great. Thanks for sharing!

Wow that’s the biggest bank of drawers I have ever seen made and you are getting so good you have to bring in helpers! I sure hope they pick up some of your awesome skills working with wood! You are going to be the most organized person in the USA 🇺🇸👍✅

Incredible! Elegant, simplistic, and extremely functional. Your craftsmanship is phenomenal!

Yes, he does everything with attention to excellence.

I laughed so hard at your little camera trick at the drill press, where you just tossed the clamps and they were suddenly attached. I love the care you put into your video editing, Frank!

those handle slots look like crowns. Storage fit for a King! very nice job once again. Best videos on KZread hands down.

Looks great Frank, well done!

amazing part of this build was to involve your kids into the project so they can learn the art of making stuff together 👌

I love how the stop motion shots give an idea of the scale of repetition on some of these projects. Well done

I'm just trying to work out what's better - your carpentry skills or video skills. Exceptional work.

just a tip, next time with the dowel pegs, put a slight incline on them. That way if you knock the item, it doesnt easily fall off

Awesome. Can you really ever be to organized. Very nice.

Love your work Frank

liked the video 5 sec in because i was so amazed by the stop motion at the start !

particularly love the self cleaning basement

Wish i had one of those...

I’m sure Bonnie is much happier now! Calvin was a big help and Claire did a great job on the labels!

Well done! Looks like a nice family project. It’s fun to see everyone involved and helping. Your kids are sure growing up! Thanks for sharing.

... thinking about the wood that gets cut off making lumber. That's the raw stock for engineered wood. Ends up inside plywood and OSB, the chippings for MDF and HDF. Nothing needs to be wasted. Last resort would be fuel pellets for wood stoves. So next time people go on about 'fake wood', it's helping subsidise chunks of solid timber so it can stay even vaguely affordable for makers.

Love your work Frank...

So beautiful!!!

the quality of video editing in this is next level

Oh my. That’s an outstanding project but way too much trouble to store stuff for my garage. Actually much of what you put in the space is out in our garden shed instead of the garage. Seriously this is an outstanding project as are the rest of the things you make. As was mentioned by someone else, there is no way that I’d ever show this video to my wife.

Oh glorious storage!

Wow! I'm an elementary school teacher and I could use your help to organize my classroom!

Love it!!! You are the man Frank!!!!! Crafstman personified!!!

"Sort of like having 32 junk drawers..." Made me laugh. I have one junk drawer. It's a 10x15 storage unit. I still can't find anything. Great video! Thanks!

"Where they ended up on top is just where they ended up." Literally the least Frank Howarth thing I've ever heard Frank Howarth say.

I greatly admire all the hard work you put into everything. I also really enjoy the stop motion you do, its unique and makes your channel special!

I really do admire your commitment to making everything your best work. For something that could easily have been built with quick methods and cheap material. You take your time and use every chance to practice proper methods of fabrication. How else will we get better if we don’t employ these methods every day in every project? I used to scoff at some of the lengths you go for some of the most simple tasks. But when the time comes for the show piece project. You’re practiced and accomplished. Been enjoying your videos for years my friend. Keep it up!

I’ve only watched part one and two of this series, but I’ve subscribed and am looking forward to more. Wonderful, whimsical editing! Puts a smile on my face

I'm in organization mode in my studio and my shop. So I am loving these! I can see something similar in my near future. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done!

That bit of drawer "magic" in the intro was an unexpected bit of joyful playfulness.

Hey Frank I just wanted to let you know it is really nice to see someone NOT sell out and let tool companies fill their workshop with promotional equipment most of us will never own. I can only assume by now you have been approached by a bunch of them and must have said no. Good on you sir, love the content, keep up the great work!

wonderful work

Paint the fronts of the drawers with "chalkboard" paint for an easy inventory management.

Yeah you totally sold me on french cleat for when i get my garage finished and need storage. This is an awesome space!

That came out great.👍

I absolutely love your videos and content. Hands down the best produced content on youtube.

You, Sir, have lovely and very helpful children! :)

Nice work. I love your shop!!!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos and listen to your thinking.

Thank you as always Frank for posting these videos. This is not criticism...but when I saw you sawing off those ends with your worm gear saw I thought of a guy I worked with who was doing something eerily similar. The saw he was using (which was not a worm gear saw) kicked back on him and sliced right through his knee. Worm gear saws don't kick back but still, I was cringing remembering that awful injury.

I love the storage, drawer, and organization videos because of the perfect fits.

awesome job Frank! A lot of inspiration for me going forward!

Finally, a wood worker who hasn't drank the FESTOOL kool-aid. My hats off to you, sir.

Really lovely

Well done.

This shelf and cleat system is genius, well done sir!

I have been considering whether to buy drawers or boxes to go into the storage units i'm building or make them myself. After watching this video I think I'm going to buy them. While I think it would be good practise to make it won't be very fun as it looks repetitive and time consuming plus you end up using a lot of plywood so not sure how much cheaper it will be. Including cost for my time it's probably cheaper to buy. Frank, your work is amazing and I am very envious of your shop.

I was really hoping to see the clone help you carry it in. Seems like those clones are never around when the real work needs to be done.

From plain storage to a piece of art!

Great project

well done 👏

Wow! You spent as much time videoing and post editing as you did making this! Nice job!

The thing I love about these videos is how you get your entire family involved in some of your projects :-)

Love the french cleats and peg system. Gunna use this idea for my shed thanks!!!!!

5:12 That was smooth

No matter how much storage space is available, there's ALWAYS stuff shoved on the top !!

I love how organized and clean this is. Personal goals/dream!

Well done my friend they are just what I was contemplating doing in my new shop when its finally finished fingers crossed. Thanks for the insight frank

God i love the stopmotion! and that drawer rack turned out excellent!

A master at work- woodwork and editing-love your videos

Looking amazing, thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family

Nice work

Very nice! Great success!

I always love your videos

Might I suggest that you do a series on 'Making videos'? I'd be really interested in seeing how you do things like the drawers magically climbing into the shelf unit as well as some of the other effect that you use.

Hi Frank. Great video as always. Small piece of advice; those drawer labels look too small. You don't want to have to be standing right in front of the drawer to read the label, by then you've found the drawer. They want to be big enough to read from the middle of the room. :)

Good job.

Wonderful stuff again, Frank. I know it's a design choice, and yes, it does look excellent, but please do let us know if you (or perhaps your pets) hang anything off of a French cleat 6 1/2" off the floor! 😂

The cleat at the bottom could come in handy when you need to store something that isn't easy to hang (spare broomstick or a shovel handle, if they don't have a hole in the top). Attach a shelf to the lowest cleat and drill a hole in the shelf for the broomstick.

You have a shop to kill for. videos are perfect keep up the good work

Gotta hand it to you. You really do nice work. Thanks.

Perfect job.😊

1:14 dad expressing frustration. Then the "special thanks" at the end not including the daughter. That's some serious shade thrown.

Thanks Frank i just made one of these for my garage , 4 wide by 5 high, im thinking about making another its so useful.

Beautiful work. Also WHAT A SHOP!!!

What a great build! you gave me some inspiration with this. Oh ja the effect in your intro.... That was awsome!!!

Awesome I have to do this now

It's actually not that much wood that's thrown away. Modern sawmills 3D scan the trunks and a program calculates the ideal size and count of planks that can be retrieved.
