Mistakes can teach us so much! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
You know, I think we feel better seeing “fails” as well. It truly isn’t a fail, just a mistake that has not been perfected yet. You’ll get it. It still inspires us!
I've already gotten so many amazing suggestions that I'd not thought of! Such a great group. :D
Use an old Christmas tree stand, three cinch points at the base.
Great tip!
Hmmmm... I may try that one.. I have a very heavy tree stand.
A board with wheels. Maybe the wheels from the chair. A flower pot with wheels. Add cement to hold in the middle stick/rod.
I dont think this was a fail! If it's something you learned from, it's never a fail 🙂.
I am Kay fan too!! Love Organized Soprano.
I think I called her Organizing Soprano in the video! GASP!!!! I'm a bad viewer!!! LOL
Christmas tree stand
I love her channel & her sense of humour.
I'm really excited about your Disney channel. I love anything Disney, especially Winnie the Pooh.
Awww!!! I'll try and do an entire video on Winnie the Pooh for you!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Thank you.
Ohh WOW I LOVE ALL THESE IDEAS!!! Nicest place on Y T!!!
Thanks so much!!
My first thought was to use a Christmas tree stand. Thanks for sharing a fail!
I'm going to try that for sure!!!! Thanks for watching!
I subscribed to your channel because of Kay!
Thank you so much, Patti!!!!! I hope you like my channel 💜🌺💜
You might be able to use a wooden dowel, or closet rod for the center pole and just sand the very bottom to fit snuggle in the chair base.
Love the idea
You mentioned concrete, get on old 5 gallon pail and put some of the PVC pipe in it with concrete. It'll stand up perfectly
I have no ideas, but I read your beginning statement...big hugs Norrine.
Thank you xoxox
Yeah, Norrine! Thanks for keeping it real for us. Here is my thought. FOAM CORE! Take those S hooks out. Cut a length of foam core that matches the height of the unexposed area of the chair hole. Then vertically score, not cut that piece at very close intervals, enough so that piece of foam core can wrap around inside the chair base and reinforce the space between the chair base and the PVC. If it turns out to be too thick to fit the hole bc you can't get the PVC in, you can strip out random pieces of what you scored until it fits. I Hope my directions sound clear. I have not read any suggestions that others have provided, this just came off the top of my head. Suggestions that others provide might be better, but This One Is Cheap!
THAT is a great suggestion, Darlene!!!! And boy is it in my budget!!!!! I'll give it a try! :D
If you are trying to steady the PVC into the the legs try drilling a hole through the metal and PVC. Use a large bolt. I would do this in 2 different spots. I also would drill the holes so that they crisscross. Place one east to west and the other north to south. In addition you may be able to fill any space with expanding gleam in a can. Best of luck.
I think this is the winner idea. IF I can drill through the base with a standard drill - it's a win. If it needs a special drill bit then I'll have to play with the base more. Thanks for the great idea, Judith!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer talk to the guys at the hardware store. They have helped me many times. Good luck.
@@TheCraftyOrganizer If you cannot drill through the base, perhaps try wrapping the broom handle with twine, all along the area that will fit within the base, to thicken it to the right diameter
I was thinking the same thing
I like the idea presented below, creating tightening screws, like a CHRISTmas tree stand. You can drill holes in the chair base. 💕🥰 Love ALL of your ideas!
Great suggestion, Maggie! Thanks!
I think it’s great & remember & i’m sure you heard this before, as creators there are no fails only lessons to be learned. I have no doubt at all between you & all viewers you’ll have your solution & will soon be enjoying your very steady “storage tower” very, very, soon. I for one can’t wait to see it!
I'm blown away by all of the great suggestions! We should do group projects more often! LOL
A tension rod mounted vertically, from floor to ceiling or into, say a cupboard opening would not be mobile, but oh so sturdy. Because with filled and aligned trays, the center of gravity will always be far from the connecting rod, making it prone to fall over.
I really like this idea though! ❤️
I love that idea!!!!!
Christmas tree stand
OK!! That might be a good one!!!
I enjoy both of you. Isn't Kay adorable? And she has a voice! Love and light to you. Good luck with this and your Disney endeavor.
Thank you so much!
about about using some spray foam . really neat idea
Thanks, Anna!
Wow… even though you say this project did not turn out, this was an awesome idea…😀
Thank you! 😊
If I think of something I’ll let you know. It’s a great idea.
Thank you, Genevieve!
"...that should have been my warning - **DANGER WILL ROBINSON ** - but no, I foraged on!!" That's my girl... truly a Mini Me.
I have a contribution for the think tank. Home Depot, under a buck, a wooden plant roller base thing. 12" x 12", and one of those round wheel balls on each corner. Not sure about attaching the PVC in the center, not yet anyway. Just thought I'd run this up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes.
Love you Mini. You and your posse... we got this! You'll see...
XOX ❤😁🏜
HA HA HA HA!!! I knew a few of you would get a kick out of that! LOL I also love your technical term...... wooden plant roller base thing. You are so cute! xoxoxox
what about a dollar tree plant stand on wheels? Put the pvc pipe through the middle and use a pin of some kind to go through the pipe on the underside of the stand.
I love the collaboration to solve this! Great ideas. Keep up the good work Noreen!
Thanks so much! 😊
Good luck at Disney!! so much fun! I worked at WDW until I was disabled. Just a great deal of fun and made some of the best friends of my life. Remember that magic comes from Cast Members.
It feels like training took forever!!! But I am signed off finally, and get to start the fun part!!!! :D
@@TheCraftyOrganizer the good news is, that trainning stands you in amazing stead. HAVE A GREAT DAY!! WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!
I think you should try the suggestions of drilling a hole through both the chair base and mop handle and put a bolt through it with a washer on both sides and tighten it with a nut.
Do 2 of these-one 2 inches down from the top of the chair base and 1, 2 inches up from the chair base and ensure the bolts are going in opposite directions to each other in an “x” pattern.
And when you put your containers on again, put the heavier ones at the bottom.
I think that is the best suggestion. Going to try it!!!! :D
So happy for your Disney adventure! ❤️ can’t wait for those videos as well as these!
Neither can I!!!!!!! I get to start visiting the parks soon!!!!!!!
In addition to screws and bolts I suggest you wrap the base at the bottom in dense foam. It must fit tightly. Good luck!! I think it's a great idea!!
Thanks, Marilyn! 🥰
How about a Christmas tree stand?
Great suggestion!
This is a genius idea Norrine!!! You never cease to amaze me. And yes you've been working on it for a while but it'll come to you I'm sure anything worthwhile takes time. I read quite a few of the comments from the viewers and I'm sure you're going to be showing this to us soon done and cooler than I could even imagine! You are so creative. Sometimes everybody needs a little help. I hope you and your family are well. Namaste 🕉️🐞✌️
I'm blown away by all of the amazing suggestions!!!! I am going to try a few - and show how they all work. Then you can decide which works best for you. :)
Whether I plan on trying it or not I just love to watch you create and organize 🕉️🐞✌️
Fill in around the loose part at the base with plaster of Paris.
I think that's what I am leaning towards.... Almost everyone can get access to that and use it affordably. :D
I love the idea! I to agree running a bolt through the base and the pole in two different directions or even a third for more support!!
I'm going to try that - hoping my regular drill bit can go through the base..... Stay tuned! LOL
I love this!!!! You'll get it finished, I'm sure of that!! Thank you Norrine, you are so inspiring (and entertaining) 😁💝
Thank you, Alma 💜 It's always so nice to see you. xoxo
I am glad you went with your viewers' vote. And I am totally amazed at all the advice coming in, mainly from tool-savvy ladies!
And honestly - a discarded swivel chair base? That is not exactly too easy to find.
I am totally with Judith!!
I was thinking also that maybe one of those expandable metal shower curtain rods may come in handy, take the spring out and you have two sturdy matching pieces that can be held at any hight with a couple of bolts.
So looking forward to the next iteration of this project!
It's so funny how different areas have different things. I see desk chairs in thrift stores all of the time... and they are easy to take apart. But I do like the idea of the curtain rod! Thanks, Stefanie!
For a base, how about an 18” wood round from Lowe’s or Home Depot, then use 4 heavy duty casters on the bottom, evenly spaced for balance, and to attach your pipe piece, use a metal plumbing flange, also easily procured at Lowe’s or Home Depot? 🙂
THAT might be perfect!!!!! I'll go price it out! Thank you, Jodi!!!!
It will cost more than she wants to spend. Casters are more than $5 each and the wooden rounds used to start at $12, but are probably more now.
Jodi Lea - This is the perfect solution, good idea !!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer no problem! It may be a bit more in price if you buy the items in store, but you can get a good deal on casters on Amazon if you’re willing to search. 😬
@@comiksitran6437 thanks! 😊
Have you considered making the individual trays a little smaller? And maybe weighting the bottom a little might help. Don't give up! Great idea.
I won't give up!!!! So many great ideas have been given already!!!! :D Thanks, Pam!
I saw the episode where Kay mentioned you and I got excited for you. Lol. Love you both.
So cool..... Thanks for watching both of us! LOL
Use galvanized pipe
I was going to say the same thing as Jodi Lea did.
Love, Disney so happy for you! I finally was lucky enough to go to Disneyland at the age of 62 with my favorite 10 year old grandchild ( only one).
Oh!!! How magical for you!!!!!!! And for your grandchild. 💜
maybe a xmas tree holder?
I like this because they are always easy to find and inexpensive AFTER the holidays.
How about a Christmas tree stand?
Great idea! I think I am going to try that one too.
This video was so much fun. How many times have I come up with an idea, figured out a path forward only to fail due to too much weight, too little reinforcement and my chief nemesis-total boredom when I’m only halfway finished. Ah, well, sometimes my impatience helps me finish and sometimes not.
In between grading this weekend, I’m going to attempt a project to help organize my grading schedule for spring semester. My class load has increased, so I can’t just come home and play. I’ve got to manage every single day. Thanks for sharing your frustrations as well as your triumphs! You are an inspiration.
Good luck, Freda!!!! Larger class loads is a hard one! Keep me posted on how you organize it! :D
"chief nemesis-total boredom when I’m only halfway finished". Me too Freda
I can’t wait to find out the solution for this because I so want to make it!
I am floored with the great suggestions I've gotten from viewers! Stay tuned - we are going to see what works!
As I was watching your demo, I was thinking that you could shim up the broom handle in the base. A package of thin wood shims from the hardware store would give you more than enough to pack into the wobbly area and tighten up the whole thing. Congrats on your new position with Disney. One word of warning, check with them before you broadcast anything about them in a public forum. They are super touchy about that being done without their express written permission. Good luck & enjoy your new endeavor!
I already did!!! I will only be talking about things that are already published. No top secrets will be shared by me. :D
Really cute idea
I would suggest getting 3 round wood pieces, 1 piece to make a turntable, some extra small blocks of wood to create a space between top two wood round. Drill a hole in center of top two rounds the size of your post. Add wheels if wanted. I would think the project should cost maybe $15. Good luck.
Great suggestion, Carolyn! Thanks!
Use your base and fill space with hot glue, expanding foam spray, or evening foam wrap.
Thanks for the great suggestion! :D
My first thought is to wrap duct tape to the PVC pipe that is attached to the chair base so you get a very tight fit. Then if it makes you feel better you could even wrap more duct tape around the join. Good luck!
Great suggestion! Thanks, Elizabeth!
Plaster of paris
Great suggestion!!!! :D
Have you considered putting sand or quikcrete in the hole to make it sturdy? The idea is great!
I have now! LOL I think this is one of the best suggestions because it's easy to duplicate, get access to, and is affordable. Thanks, Kanesha!!!!! Stay tuned!
Please please dear don't be to hard on your self. Thumbs up for showing us the project that you are not so happy about thats so strong. You are still my youtube hero! 💖😍😘
Hey on the base try wrapping the pvc with duct tape and see if it tightened up the pipe
This is a great idea
Great tip!
Reaching out for help is never a bad thing, and I think you're on the right track. Would a large Christmas tree stand work? Could castors be installed on the feet of it? Just spit balling here. lol
I'll try it and see how it works! :D
Ok watching it again, and how about packing the chair base and pcv pipe with sand? Weight and stability is what you needed
I am joining you on the recommendation of The Organized Soprano. Love crafts! I can’t think of a solution for your dilemma. Craft on ✌🏼
Right??? Kay is awesome. Thanks for checking in, Ann! I appreciate it.
You might have considered this but maybe a Christmas tree stand. Hobby Lobby has one for $9.99 (regularly$19.99), Walmart has one for $10.98. Neither have wheels. I have noticed some stands in Thrift Stores.
Great suggestion!!!! Thanks!
It makes you a better person admitting fails. Not that you weren't good to start with xx
😘
Wow! Lots of suggestions. This made me think of a chair base I missed out on. It was a beautiful heavy wood base but the chair wasn't great. I couldn't think what to use the base for and I don't have any place to just store it until I could think of something. Where my daughter lives the community has a dumpster area where they take their trash...no truck to each house... well, it seems that when people have something that they don't need they can set it out there for anyone who can use it. Of course if it's still there when it's pick up day it goes. Oh well... 🤷♀️ Thank you for sharing your 'fail'. I know you will work it out. I look forward to the follow up video.
That would be SO dangerous for me!!!!! LOL As it is, I have a hard time on trash day when so many put furniture items out. I have to ignore so many fun projects!!!!
I keep thinking somehow turn a medium size flower pot upside down and affix that to the rolling base it would come up further to hold the pole in place maybe add some spray foam to give it a good hold-not sure that make sense but in my head it does😀
LOL That's how my brain works too!!!!! I can't explain it - but I can see it! 😆😘
Awesome project. What about a plant stand with rollers? And filling the hole that holds the broom handle with that spray foam stuff ?
Yeh, That spray foam stuff is awesome and it will spread to fill in the entire space.
I'll test one out!
Maddtools use your video on your pegboard video to show there madtools hooks and towel racks.
😍 love it
What?? They did? How cool!!!!!
What about putting small wooded shim’s around the broom handle to tighten up the fit.
How about a furniture dolly, or even a heavy duty plant dolly? Seems like those are reasonably priced. Your bottom tray would be attached to the dolly, so it would not be as tall. Drill a hole in it, and use a bolt on top and below to hold your pipe securely. Also, for added strength, put a wooden dowel or, if you can find one small enough, a piece of conduit inside the pipe.
Great tips!!!! I am going to try a few of the amazing suggestions I got from this group project - there have been so many good ones!!!!! I'll do a follow-up video on what worked best! :D
You could use some of that quick crete or some heavy type of glue into the base and insert the broom handle into it.
I think that's what I am leaning towards.... Almost everyone can get access to that and use it affordably. :D
Norrine, such an awesome video... I would not call it a fail. I would say its a work in progress. I dont have any suggestions to help but love the way you "upsized" it.
Thank you so much, Naomi. xoxoxo
IV poles. The kind they use in hospitals. You can get them on Amazon. I also found them on FB Marketplace for $10-$20. And you have the hooks on top to hang stuff. 🤔
😮 I would have NEVER thought of that or expected it to be that inexpensive!!! Thanks for the great tip!
Plant bases with wheels You’ll probably have to get a flange that your pipe can fit into the secure those flower vases flower pot basis
Great tip!
Great idea Norrine, good to see I'm not the only one that fails. lol I fail alot. lol Maybe use that tube to make a cement block to hold it up? And if you are going to cut the cement tube again use a jigsaw, start by drilling a hole to start saw, it cuts through it like butter, just made a cat tree with tunnels for my Siamese brats.
THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!! I put the left over tube in my daughters room for her cat. He LOVES it!!!!
Could you not fill the bottom with cement or something similar? 🤔 to keep it steady. Well done on Disney, what will you be doing? Very exciting! Thanks for showing us the “failure” I think we the audience like to see when things go wrong too 🙂🦋💕
Yes... I think that is one of the methods I am going to try. :D I get to work on the California Adventure side in Cars Land!!!!! :D
Thanks for the fail video! Seeing lots of helpful comments. 😎
Not sure what the accident’s about but am sending healing hugs. 💞
Thank you... My youngest was with her Dad and they got in a bad accident. They are ok.... she had some facial fractures and a concussion, but is doing better each day. 💜
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Wow! I won’t ask more questions about that. Really glad she’s getting better each day. Sending more healing hugs than ever. Hope you’re doing ok too. 💞💋💞💋💞
I agree with others here about putting a bolt or screw through the base and the rod/pole. I think, too, that your pole needs to go down into the base a little deeper; that will add a bit more stability.
It looked like the PVC fitted more snuggly with the S hooks; so maybe larger hooks (with thicker metal) would act as the shims olderendirt suggested.
Great point! Thanks, Dawn!
Did you try wrapping some of your duck tape around the upright pole? Keep wrapping until you have to use some force to insert the pole into the base. Hope this works for you.
You could just take some wood and drill the exact hole size you need for the broom handle. If you wanted wheels, you could attach caster (even the ones from the chair) by drilling holes in the bottom of the piece of wood.
Great suggestion, Joyce! Thank you!!!!
First of all, you have done a beautiful job! How about using that spray foam that they use to fill in those same exact tubes to secure a post? If you secure your "post" at the base with this spray foam, the top will be secure. You can cut off whatever extra foam may come out. You will not need much if it at all. This product is used to ensure posts will NOT wiggle so why not treat your pipe in the same way? I would give it a try. Just a thought. And I continue to be amazed at your creations and at your encouraging spirit! ❤️
It's worth a try!!!! I've got many things to try now... I am excited!
I would try attaching the broom handle to the chair base using JB Weld. Should stabilize the broom handle and it's available at Walmart.
I think that's what I am leaning towards.... Almost everyone can get access to that and use it affordably. :D
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Best of luck with it. I love all of your videos but my favorites are where you make storage and organizational units out foam core, boxes etc. Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration.
I’m not a huge fan of the Christmas Tree Stand suggestion because that’s basically a single point of attachment. Maybe if you did the Christmas tree stand and drilled through at the bottom of the stand so you have attachment at the ring and at the bottom.
Ultimately we have a vertical cantilever situation going on, and the best thing is going to have two points securing to a stable base. I think the S-hook might be enough for the attachment at the bottom (although it seems like it is still a friction fit, so you might still want some sort of bolt at the bottom), but my recommendation would be to drill a hole through the base and the broom handle at like ….3/4” for a 1/4” bolt…from the top of the base. Shim out the gap between the handle and the base with something that’s not going to compress in size a lot on you. Washers might be tricky given the curve, but maybe some clay or something? You want those so that you’re not deforming the base or the handle when you tighten the bolt down.
Depending on how much distance you have between the two points of attachment (more distance means less force on the connections), that should hopefully take care of the wobbling issue. Another potential issue I can see is that when it is fully loaded, if all the trays are aligned, that might pull the whole thing over. If that becomes an issue, best to add weights to the base. Lower that center of gravity.
Hope that helps!
It does!!! And I agree with all that you said..... which was my major dilemma. I was hoping to make something easy to duplicate!!!! LOL
I think you’ve already looked at mytwo suggestions. The first one was using a lot for an outside umbrella and filling it with heavy sand or concrete. The second one was to take a large shallow round container such as a Christmas tree stand(although those can be expensive) or a large round tube like you got for the trees, only larger and fill it with ready Crete or heavy stones whatever you happen to have handy. I was going to suggest a stock tank however that would be much too tall- what is a stock tank you ask - it’s a large round or oval galvanized metal tub that is used to water cattle. However when you do something like that you’re getting into money. So I guess my only suggestions are they large cement tubes larger than you have cutting it down and filling it with rocks or ready Crete or something of that sort and putting the pool into that. I don’t know if that’s helpful or not.
This group project has yielded so many great ideas... Thanks for adding to them, Karen!
Ever think of maybe using a Christmas Tree Stand? Or even just the tightening ring and keys to help stabilize the rod? You could drill into the rod to create additional stability with the tightening keys.
Goodwill always seems to have those...or at tag sales. U could drill holes, add inexpensive casters?
I think I will try drilling a hole with a regular bit to see if it works. I don't want to make people buy a metal drill bit. If it works - that is our best solutions!!! :D
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Include using washers at the tightening points so that movement doesn't cause anything to get loose and fall.
Failures may lead to wonderful outcomes, think about Edison and his many light blubs he tried.
So true!!!!!
I love this idea! Totally genius sis! Can't wait to see the fix and finish. I have no ideas about such things so I'm no help. You understand these things that is one of the many reasons I watch you. Stay positive and congratulations on Disney. Be safe.
Thanks so much!! 🌺
An iron patio umbrella stand. Check eBay and marketplace
Not sure if you found an answer, you could add Kinesio tape that athletes use, you can get it near the braces like wrist braces or Ace bandage wraps. You could adjust the layers as needed no matter what size you have for your pole, plus it is a little tacky (not sticky) so it will build-up, but it is not difficult at all to take off. You can also use it on the handles of your tools to make them more comfortable & easy to grip (not sure if I heard that here or on another channel).
Great suggestion!!!!
I made something like this with baskets with the same problem! I have several pics coming your way soon. I’m in the middle of organizing and remodeling my bedroom. Will be excited to find out how you solved your problem!
Can't wait to see your pictures!!
What about filling the base with spray in foam for insulating?
Hi could you use a Christmas tree stand I know it won’t wheel but maybe there is a way to add wheels to it ,the tree stand can be tightened up tightly to hold the pole 😉👍😊
Yes!!!! I am going to try that one... because that will be so easy for so many people! Thanks, Catherine!
I am way behind on watching so you may not need this suggestion. Have you thought about kwickcrete in a bucket? We have eye hooks set in buckets to stabilize large temporary tents when you cannot use stakes. Large buckets would get heavy, but you would need a large bucket to stabilize your pole.
Never too late!!! I am going to be trying that as one of the suggestions. I got so many good ones!!! :D
Maybe you need to use a heavier pole big enough you can drill into it to more securely attach the base. Maybe like a Christmas tree stand. Basically, it seems that you need to come up with a way to attach a base that comes up further on the pole. Still thinking here. 🧐🧐
I think you are right... the base is good - just need a better way to attach it. I'll keep thinking too! LOL
Maybe putting some ductape on the broomstick where it goes in the base? So it fits better?
Always enjoy your videos. Not a fan of the Disney agenda, how ever. Hope it works well for you.
Thank you! No problem on Disney - that's why I am making the second channel. Keeps those who don't want to see/hear about it from having to sit through it. :)
So I made a Christmas tree a few years ago out of branches. I had the same problem. I used a piece of pool noodle around the Broom stick. Trimmed off some excess and pushed it snuggly into the base. (Same chair base). Worked really well!
Hope this could help 😀🇦🇺❤️
Great idea!
I thought maybe wrap layers of duct tape to the bottom or that foam spray I saw the other day, to add width to the bottom where you stick it in. On another note, I love how you shared your fail! As a crafter, it can be frustrating that your idea doesn't play out and your Idols(TH-camrs, like you) make it seems easy with one go! Just makes me appreciate you even more for sharing! So thank you!
My vote is for foam spray, too!!
Yeah that was what I was thinking. Find a way to make the fit tighter instead of switching the base...
This - add width to the bottom of the pole to make a more snug fit. You can use a thin cutting sheet/mat from the dollar store, wrapped around and then duct tape over to hold. Depending on how much space there is, you could also use some of the extra foam board cut into "shims" and wedge them in before taping over to smooth it out and hold them in place.
Such a cute idea! Once you have the rod put into the chair base could you drill a hole all the way through the rod and the chair base get a bolt that would go all the way through and then use a nut to tighten it,to keep it from wobbling? That way you only have to have that nut and bolt to buy? Just a suggestion. Best of luck with the Disney dream job!!
That's a great idea!!!! SUPER simple!!!!
what about a 4 wheel dolly
I'll give that one some thought! May be hard to attach - but great for easy moving! Thanks, Shirley! :D
How about a floor lamp that’s really skinny? I have a torchiere style that I think might work. My husband bought it on sale at Target fo I think $10. Should be able to find one at a garage sale or thrift store. You would be able to see if the base to upright connection is sturdy enough. Add one of those flower pot rollers if you HAD to have wheels
Great suggestion, Margaret!
