    Use L profile angle metal stock instead of wood for the shelves. Better use of space, you can add those new bins into it easily. I've done the same setup, and it worked well. Turned out I didn't use it as much as intended, so I downsized to half the bins.

    Stop that’s the wrong way to twist the wires. Straight them out. Put the wires like Chinese finger traps end to end then give a little twist. Inlay them together. I don’t know the terminology. You have a better conductivity and resistance. Don’t twist the wire then wrap it around like. They are ok depending on the region we’re you.

    @@EpicGamer-ny1fu I'm sure in most places, there's at least one independent or local lumber yard. If there's anything getting built in the area at all, chances are the lumber is not coming from a box store, so there are other options available.

    Literally the ONLY thing I'd do differently is to either label all the bins in a place where the label is visible without taking the bin out of the rack or to make a legend and put it on the top of the rack. Labels would probably be best for me personally, because I have a tendency to make any flat surface a shelf over time 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣💯

    Yeah, that plywood problem is all over. I go to a larger local sawmill called Hollingsworth (Indiana, near Kokomo). But I said as much on your short that I commented on. The tldr version is that the corporate mills in their infinite wisdom wanted to save money on the veneers, so they started cutting them thinner. But when they did that they had a problem with the glue showing through the veneer, which is a big problem for cabinet makers, so they decided to cut back on the glue and well, you see the results.

    The problem with the labels mentioned is that you have to read them. Correct solution is to fasten a few samples of what's in a case to the front. Even if you have 3 cases of washers, just one washer will clue you into what else is in a box. Hot glue not so good, tie things on with fine wire, or small sheet metal screws.

    Very nice and interesting build, well done. I started to laugh when you first started gluing with that little paint tray and brush, then you poured from the tray (which is better) but finally poured from the main bottle! Much better idea. The other thing you could do is get an empty ketchup bottle (large style) clean it out and fill with glue from the gallon jug (ketchup bottle with squirt and locking lid), works great! Is there a place on the bin where you could put a out facing label? Love the project. Keep them coming. Thank you for the video.

    Need labels on all the bins. I have a system like this and without labels on the fronts it was frustrating AF. --- Can recommend the Brother PT-E550. Lots of reviews on YT. NB. The half-cut feature is a godsend (where it only cuts the label leaving the backing intact). Don't cheap out on the 300-series, pay a bit more and get the 550 . I got mine for £100 on offer but they're usually a bit more than that. I use the cheap aliexpress label cartridges for it though as they're good enough and cost a couple quid each vs 15-20 for the proper ones.

    I just bought a bunch of TigerPly from Frank Miller out here in Union City, IN. The 1/4” is 3 ply + birch veneer and the 1/2” is 5 ply + birch veneer. Planning on cutting some of it today to see how it works out. $27 for a sheet of quarter and $44 for a sheet of half inch. Sadly, it poured rain while it was still in my truck bed. I sat it all out to dry for a couple days, and only one piece had some spots where the veneer bubbled up. I’ll update you with my findings.

    @@sivalley interesting and thanks for the advice. I used them on some outdoor stereos (not my choice) . I used to do a lot of my own test setups, some of them going through an accelerated life cycle of sorts ( very hot and humid) and after some years of experience I've learned that solder should only be used as an electrical connection, not a physical connection ( except in some rare circumstances I've seen). Also, the old solder seemed more robust , everything is this RoHs compliant stuff now.... crimps are the way to go when there is vibration (e.g. fixing your car or motorcycle) and hot glue works pretty good for waterproofing.

    I'll have to try that, it solves the dilemma of a mechanical connection. Is that 16 gauge wire? In the past with butt connectors, when I twisted, the heat shrink didn't collapse enough to give a tight seal at each end. If I used larger gauge wire, then the wire wouldn't go through enough to get a twisted pair back into the connector before crimping.

  • @SovereignMan85

    Put some flux on both wire ends before heating so the solder flows in properly, and just interweave the wires without twisting by letting the strands push into each other instead of just going side by side.
