Fix This Build That I have a back to the future hover board signed by the cast. I've always wanted to build a display case for it. Do you think that would be expensive?
Ok we are all thinking it, so I'll say it. We need a "Chuck it or Check it" mini series where Chuck just critiques your past projects. If he likes it, then it's a check it out. If he doesn't, Chuck it out!
Transitions, movie clips, little bit of speed ramps. Nice work Brad. Dig how you showed how to work with warped plywood. People need to know that for sure!
Great idea. Most appreciate that you explained how to salvage warped plywood in a project. You also earned a gold star for using your table saw safely with guards and dust collection in place where possible.
I'm going to level with you. I hate watching most wood workers on TH-cam. Being a wood worker myself (and being insanely meticulous, admittedly) I always have a problem with how people work, usually safety issues, joinery and jargon. Having said that, I don't have that problem while watching your channel. I actually found this video quite relaxing. Thank you.
well, one of the weird things I do in my workshop is that I talk to myself a lot too. But when I do that, I do not switch positions where I stand, don't change shirts and definitely do not put on sunglasses either. 😁
I too talk to myself. But, there other voices that come out. I'll call myself stupid for what I just did in some random accent. I never know who I'm going to yell at myself with... good times
Appreciate how in depth you go with cuts, joinery, etc. in all of your builds, regardless of skill level. I'm quite the amateur woodworker, and your videos really help me when trying to visualize the final product. Thank you!
I have used a dewalt to ryobi battery adapter for a few years now, no problems at all, found on Amazon for $25 Its a little Frankenstein but something I'm grateful I have.
Awesome video, Brad! Stinks that your material warped on you, but glad you used it as an opportunity to show us how it can still be salvaged. Also, really digging the new music in your videos this year! Looking forward to the next one. - Joe
If you have access to a 3D printer, you can find battery mounts for all those brands on thingiverse that you can print and then you can actually hang the batteries securely. Nice build
Hi Brad! I’m Not usually a fan of creators trying to inject their interpretation of humor, into their videos, or silly intros, but this one made me want to comment. IMHO, this was great! I mean, I played it back again, to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Really enjoyable, and was followed by a solid build and video! Big thumbs up! Stay safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸
That Chuck dude just made the video. As an alternative for piling up the batteries, you can find some plastic holders that have the same shape as the drill receptacle. You just drill them to the wood and slide the batteries in. Kudos from Brazil.
I love it too! It's expensive! My personal policy is zero material cost for shop fixtures except for the fasteners and finishes! Nice work though Brad... Love your stuff
I also vacuum up all the stuff right away! It makes it easier to work with the material, it's safer and above all, it gives me peace of mind that my shop is clean and isn't looking like a bomb went off in it! 😛
I was gonna do the cabinet while watching this video but I said to my self "#mistakes_are_going_to_be_made" And of course they were made That's the one thing I love about your videos
This gives me lots of material for my own build I am planning. I have Kobalt, Rigid, B&D, and Ryobi chargers. Kobalt and Rigid being the newest. I really like the pull-out board with the magnet strips, so I will incorporate that idea (maybe not with magnets) into my own design. Well done!
Nice build Brad, I can't see myself building this one as I only have 2 drills and 1 driver, but... who knows, almost anything in the name of shop organization. What I really appreciate was you showing us how you work through the warp in the plywood. I can't say I've had a sheet quite the bad, but it seems like very few are 100% flat.
I'm currently near the end of my entry-level construction training and I can't wait to get making my own personal workshop, this is the first video I've watched of yours and I subscribed because watching it made me even more excited to build more projects like this one and your personality is great.
This was perfect timing. I just finished building the upper and lower cabinets from your plan set. They look great by the way. Today I started planning my next project. A drill charging station.
I would absolutely b meticulous about dust collection if I knew what I was doing. Would love a video all about it because I know yours would be the ultimate guide.
suggestion for the pull out bit storage... make a few small french cleat hanger/shelves dealie-wackers so that you can organize by task, such as drill/countersink/driver so that each 'set' can be taken down and to the work
You can straighten out curved plywood by moistening, not soaking, one side and warming the other especially when the cup/bow was due to weathering. The moist side tends to expand while the heated side tends to contract. I fixed full sheets by wetting and setting on my driveway. A little weight speeds things up.
For an odd habit, I have begun to lay out all my tools and bits especially on french cleat magnetic bars. I also like to do my bulk cutting all at once before I begin assembly. I don't like switching back and forth a lot.
Great stuff!! Thanks for sharing! This gives me some great ideas for my new shop! Just moved into a new house, and we have a barn that is 2,000 sq. ft. for a wood shop. I have already started buying woodworking tools and today I started on a French cleat system on one wall. Sadly, the wall is not straight, so nothing is laying flat on the wall. I just hope the cleat system will still work out well.
Fantastic work, Brad!!! 😃 I don't have enough drills and drivers yet... But as soon as I have I'm going to get your plans! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Pro-tip. When you talk to yourself in different accents while in your shop, its all good. When you do it at the grocery store, you get a lot of strange looks for some reason. Loved the video and thanks for the laugh.
I’m a new subscriber and I gotta say how much I love your videos. Your work is beautiful and the way you explain what you’re doing is very helpful. Thanks man!
Fantastic build, great modifications to add to what people have done before...and I absolutely love the humour throughout. Especially the alternate ego guy
(This is gonna be such a geeky comment!) In the Daredevil comics in the late 60s Matt Murdock (Daredevil) invented a twin brother he called Mike that he told his friends was Daredevil . “Mike” had a different speech pattern and wore big chunky sunglasses all the time. That was the first thing that came to mind as soon as I saw “Chuck.” Not sure he’s necessary but at least this time he was entertaining. Noticed you have the blade guard (with dust collection) now on the Sawstop. Any particular reason? I’ve noticed it’s rare to see TH-cam woodworkers to have a guard on, but after having my first injury/brake triggering incident I’m thinking about getting that guard/hose setup. I’d welcome your thoughts Brad. Great video, as usual, but even better.
Haven't seen that version, but very funny the similarities. If you go back and watch, I've always had the overarm collector. The only time I take it off is when it can't physically be used (sleds, dados, cuts under 1.5"). It's excellent and I highly recommend using it.
This is a great idea and have seen a few videos, but I think yours is the one I will try, That said, I have a question when it comes to batteries and storing them My garage and work shed(s) are not insolated and are freestanding buildings. What do you do in the winter or middle of summer? Doesn't storing them in shop hurt the batteries? Where I live average winter typically gets down to 30-32 degrees (F) and summer is about 90-100 degrees (F), so I typically store the batteries in house in a closet and tote them out when working on projects. While this works, it is a pain and takes up valuable storage in the house, but I want my expensive batteries to last. What do you do to lengthen the life of your tool batteries? (NOTE: insolating or heating by garage and sheds are not a viable option.)

I like where this is going. Let's see how many upvotes this comment gets 😀
We 100% need this.
Lovin’ the idea.
I would love to see this
Yes! Great idea!
Transitions, movie clips, little bit of speed ramps. Nice work Brad. Dig how you showed how to work with warped plywood. People need to know that for sure!
yeah, man. We're trying to keep upping that production value!

well, one of the weird things I do in my workshop is that I talk to myself a lot too. But when I do that, I do not switch positions where I stand, don't change shirts and definitely do not put on sunglasses either. 😁
hahaha, my wife, Susan, talks to herself constantly. I'm always wondering if she's on the phone or just working through something
I too talk to myself. But, there other voices that come out. I'll call myself stupid for what I just did in some random accent. I never know who I'm going to yell at myself with... good times
Oh, I definitely talk to myself too.
I talk to my saws before I saw my material 😅
Chuck reminds me of some of the people that comment on my videos. I hope we get to see him again! Keep up the great work Brad!
🤣
The shop is looking good, I'm looking forward to seeing what projects you do after the shop is done.
The shop is never done! But seriously, we have some fun projects planned outside the shop this year (along with several more in the shop).
Appreciate how in depth you go with cuts, joinery, etc. in all of your builds, regardless of skill level. I'm quite the amateur woodworker, and your videos really help me when trying to visualize the final product. Thank you!
"Well played Rodriguez" indeed
You should check your mail for an emmy after this one! Another great, clean build.
hahaha, I don't think I'll be winning any awards anytime soon
Don't you dare feel bad for being clean. I love that about this channel. It makes me so happy.
Brad, digging the creative leaps on this one! Those grey shirts didn't fool me, I knew you had it in you the whole time ;)
I think Chuck used to live in the Fort and was a regular on the strip 😜
The pull-out panel for the bits is inspired genius.
3:18 I’m the same….I clean up too often. But, a clean shop is a safe shop!!
Clean shop is a must! I see pics on forums and I just cringe and wonder why?
I know there are hundreds of cordless station vids out there but this one is pretty slick. Great stuff as always! Thanks for sharing this build!
thanks! Tried to make sure I was adding something new and novel
@@Fixthisbuildthat I’d say you nailed it, brother! \m/
I have used a dewalt to ryobi battery adapter for a few years now, no problems at all, found on Amazon for $25
Its a little Frankenstein but something I'm grateful I have.
Well done Brad. And your “sidekick” reminds me of one of my favorite NASCAR drivers...
I got some old school Jay Bates vibes from this video with the cloning and the music. Well played indeed!
Awesome video, Brad! Stinks that your material warped on you, but glad you used it as an opportunity to show us how it can still be salvaged. Also, really digging the new music in your videos this year! Looking forward to the next one. - Joe
Thanks, Joe! And yeah, even the good baltic birch can warp on ya sometimes, good to be able to work through it
Agreed! It's good to see someone using material that most would think is now trash.
If you have access to a 3D printer, you can find battery mounts for all those brands on thingiverse that you can print and then you can actually hang the batteries securely. Nice build
I considered doing those, but figured this was more approachable for most
Hi Brad! I’m Not usually a fan of creators trying to inject their interpretation of humor, into their videos, or silly intros, but this one made me want to comment. IMHO, this was great!

Really appreciate that. Went out on a limb to try something fun and we worked pretty hard to make it entertaining but not too drawn out.
I absolutely love that you keep everything on baltic birch. Keep going!
You’re editing is very on point 🤙🏾 and the garage organization is spot on. Everything is easy to find!
That Chuck dude just made the video. As an alternative for piling up the batteries, you can find some plastic holders that have the same shape as the drill receptacle. You just drill them to the wood and slide the batteries in. Kudos from Brazil.
Awesome build and the other guy is hilarious 😂 looking forward seeing him again alot :)
Chuck is an attention hog so I'm sure he'll make some more appearances
@@Fixthisbuildthat Chuck the buck 😆
You know you did a good job when Chuck is impressed
There’s nothing wrong with loving Baltic Birch. I too have an unhealthy relationship with the stuff!
Right, Chris? I mean who wouldn't love this stuff??
Cept in my country its like $100 for a 2400 x 1200 sheet
Yes you do😀👍
I love it too! It's expensive! My personal policy is zero material cost for shop fixtures except for the fasteners and finishes! Nice work though Brad... Love your stuff
Where do you even buy this stuff in a full sheet?
The "Pringles" reference to warped plywood made me chuckle. I've had moment's like this too after having something get caught in the rain.
I also vacuum up all the stuff right away! It makes it easier to work with the material, it's safer and above all, it gives me peace of mind that my shop is clean and isn't looking like a bomb went off in it! 😛
#neuroticclub 😜
Well done Brad, I must admit, I got a chuckle with this video 👍👍
Mission accomplished!
"Pringles from the big box store".
Best. Line. Ever!
Yeah... I actually laughed at that one too.
I love watching ideas from safe countries. That looks like nice spot for a redback to live...
Love the creativity in the intro!
thanks, we had fun with it!
Great build, the 2 drawer idea actually makes loads of sense
That's a project worth re-doing - I use mine a lot!
yes, it works so much better with those small tweaks!
Agreed! I constantly use mine and change around what I'm storing on it based on what I'm working on
Great video. Well built with humor. You just can’t beat it. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pull out panel with the magnetic strip is a cool idea, thanks!
I was gonna do the cabinet while watching this video but I said to my self "#mistakes_are_going_to_be_made"
And of course they were made
That's the one thing I love about your videos
Brad, two warnings: don't deal with Jay Bates' cloning facility, that thing is out of control! 😬
And never mess with the beast of Caerbannog! 😱
Jay figured out how to get perfect clones of himself, I just keep getting Chuck. 😀
Congrats Brad on making the cover of Woodcraft Spring 2021. Keep on Fix This Build That.
This gives me lots of material for my own build I am planning. I have Kobalt, Rigid, B&D, and Ryobi chargers. Kobalt and Rigid being the newest. I really like the pull-out board with the magnet strips, so I will incorporate that idea (maybe not with magnets) into my own design. Well done!

Loved this video brother :) I now have some ideas for my cabinet
Dude, loving the intro and the new "character" - please make him appear in more videos...
thanks!
Chuck needs to be a recurring character!
Glad you liked him!
Love how clean and organized your shop and workflow is
This was perfect timing. I just finished building the upper and lower cabinets from your plan set. They look great by the way. Today I started planning my next project. A drill charging station.

LOVE the organization! Such a great and functional build!
Thanks, guys!
Love Chuck's shirt! Go Bows!!!!
Chuck's favorite shirt!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the video!!!! Two of you and your dialogue was hilarious.
Great episode Brad! Loved the edit and Chuck should definitely hang around.
Flat panel doors and grey shirts (sometimes blue) FTW! ...great content as always!
Dude, seriously awesome video. Loving your content, have been binge watching for a few hours now!
Love that Hawaii Volleyball shirt. Chuck has good taste!
Super creative intro. Great job!
3/4 “ Baltic Birch Plywood is like $200. A sheet? Your wood is worth more than your tools now!

@@Fixthisbuildthat I’m not an engineer, but I appreciate your nerdy engineer humor in this one. I laughed many times out loud.
Fantastic INTRO.
GLAD YOU GOT YOUR ACCENT BACK.
WELL AT LEAST THAT COOL GUY DID...LOL.
