    There are a lot of people that can make really nice furniture, cabinets, etc. out of wood. Then there are a select few that can do that but also have the vision to create complex things out of thin air. I'm one of the former, I wish I was one of the latter. You are a true master.

      @@lucyferina Agree, loved watching it, but I spent 15$ and maybe 20 minutes to buy an over the door organizer and thought I was going a bit far to organize drop cords in the house. Bonus the little baskets on it gave a place for light bulbs. But in the garage 3 screws and couple of long metal pegs and I am good.
      It was interesting to watch, but I am a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. principle(and lazy) and it just seems like too much wasted time, effort, and materials(not to mention money) to hang a few drop cords and having to get a pole and hook to get it down...let's just say that after a few months the only thing it would be holding is xmas lights. Which now that I think about it wouldn't be a bad way to store the *&^% things that always tangle.

Remember every darn one of them was checked and re-checked before being put away. I have tried something similar to what you have suggested, but I'll try anything once or twice or... you get the idea.

    Matt, I’ve only watched a dozen or so of your videos but this is by far the best one. And no, not because you don’t talk. And you certainly seem to have put more effort in to this project than I’ve ever spent rolling up extension cords. You packed so many techniques and fab methods into this video I could not count them all. And while you may have only put one safety warning in here (about kick back), your methods are packed with good safety practices. To all this woodworking goobers with TH-cam channels, Matt says “here, hold my beer”. I liked the ASMR format, please do more of them. The video was instructive and hypnotizing. But like one other commenter said, don’t give up talking on your vids.

    I've been a finish carpenter for over a decade now. I always learn at least one new thing, or new technique, from Matt's videos. In this one, I picked up at least 3 new things I 'knew', but never applied to my work. In this video, as I'm watching, I'm thinking, "Wow, sure a hell of a lot of trouble to go through for a simple extension cord rack." I get the instructional on making and using templates, but still ... it's JUST a cord rack after all. About halfway through, it dawned on me. My dad used to say it all the time, "Anything worth doing, is worth doing right." Said another way, "A craftsman never half asses his way through anything. If it isn't worth making it functional and pleasing to the eye, it isn't worth doing."
    Thanks for your craftsmanship, Matt. You are a constant motivation for me to up my own craftsmanship.

    So it might be overengineered, but beeing from Germany it was the first video of NLC I stumbled into just by coincidence. And it provided great take home value for me: 1. using the small router together with a lightweight template and then the big one on the stacked pieces. 2. the ingenious way the triangle template was created. 3. the usage of superglue to assemble that template. 4. the "wood files" created from sander-belts (will make some of these directly over the weekend). And last but not least I have now an idea where to put my extension cords flying around in my garage (it has a similar height on one side :-)) - of course my construction for that purpose will be simpler but thanks for sharing these valuable tricks. I will use them in other projects. Great stuff man!!!

      If you don't need discs from the cuts like Matt did, you can just drill 8-10mm hole next to the inner edge of the circle. The chips will be extracted automatically through that hole and nothing will ever burn again.

    I don't know if you have ever tried this. But I got in the habit of using CRC heavy duty silicon tool lubricant on cutting tools years ago. We found it worked particularly well on router bits, to prevent burning. It also works great on hole saws, saw tables, miter gauge slots. While it does have Silicon in it, if allowed to dry properly before making a cuts on wood. It shouldn't poison it or prevent the finish or glue for sticking at all. If for some reason you have a finish problem, usually some acetone or mineral spirits takes care of the problem.

      Cool that you picked out those 'cool tricks' Carl... thanks for commenting about them. The hole saw size thing? You'll be interested to know that the organizer I built in the video is V2.0. I scrapped V1.0 about half way through when I decided the holes I drilled with a 3 1/2" holesaw were just too sloppy to feature as a 'next level' project. I meant the sequence at 2:55 to pre-answer the question "why didn't he just use a holesaw" that I know would get asked. The triangle template? Yeah, that was V2.0 too: I initially drilled one hole and cut 3 radial lines 120 degrees apart but the missing saw kerfs, although slight, threw the template off to much to be next level too; hence drilling and cutting 3 separate pieces with the 120 degree angle included. All that to say that viewers aren't the only ones learning from these video! 😎

      @@NextLevelCarpentry Hi Matt, yes a good company, mostly sold over your side of the pond, I think their stuff is quite expensive, but good. Rust Oleum, International, Epiphane are other well known good brands. Think we used to use Rust Oleum. Many a lakeboat sanded and varnished in my time as a kid! Sadly back then, I didn't appreciate wood the way I do now! Tung oil, resins and UV protection are key. Marine Spar varnishes were known for durability and great finishes. Think they would be fantastic for bringing out the grains on really nice wood. The more knots, the more interesting the finish with darker and lighter lines popping out in differing dark and light lines. Fairly sure I read recently that Total Boat came top in a review of lots of varnishes recently. I'll have a look, see if I can find the link.
      All in the prep work, as you know Matt, lots of your favourite sanding 🤣🤣, and time between coats to let the varnish set. Sadly my fibreglass baby is out of the water at the moment, but she has some lovely wood below decks (she's an old 35ft sports cruiser), which was something that drew me to her. Reminded me of the old trawler yachts with their beautiful internal carpentry and colour!
