Watching this again. So glad I did. I think you pick up more things each time you watch stuff like this. But I also enjoyed the entertainment value. Laughed out loud watching you try to get the filing cabinet up on the dolly. I’ve done that so many times before. LOL. I’m in a different stage of organizing things right now. So this gave me different ideas. No Black Friday shopping for me today. Instead… I’m home sick… and binge watching TH-cam. So you’ll see me in your comments a lot today. LOL
Favorite Storage Tote Tip: photograph the contents and then set up albums on your phone for each numbered bin. Then it's a matter of scrolling through your phone to find the corresponding bin with whatever you need inside.
@@j.f.christ8421 Then you'd have to "Take a new photo, print it, then attach it to the bin" whenever you charge the contents. With a QR code on the bin you simply replace the photo in your phone/tablet.
I find shop organization videos so satisfying perhaps because I live vicariously though the makers doing them that have the time, space, tools, and opportunity to organize. That and it gives me hope I can one day organize my way out of the perennial scenario where my wife says I have too much stuff in my shed….a boy can dream!
This is the first of your videos that I've ever seen. I watched while taking a break from a shop reorganisation project of my own. I was cracking up the entire time. Subscribed. (I hope your head is feeling better)
@9:47 ... has all the feels. For the record, I apologize for laughing throughout but there are far too many relatable moments in this video and the air hose one really got me.
You are so right about the label maker :) Those French cleats look so nice when they are all spaced nicely like that. Great work and I can imagine how much personal satisfaction this can give you to have things so organized now. Also probably weird/frustrating to see yourself about to hit your head and not be able to shout "watch out!"
Please use a rubber mallet or wood block for nudging things into place, Wes! I can connect my case of Dupuytren’s Contracture to a to adjusting wood in a single weekend. You don’t want it. Great video!
okay, I gotta ask: was the hose popping off during the assassin bit planned? If so - you've got a huge talent for making gimmicks look natural - if not, you've got a huge talent for keeping your composure to elevate a bit.
As a person with a workshop and an optimization urge it is truly a joy to watch someone else mess up their back for a change (; I got a labelmaker for my last birthday and most people thought it was very weird to be as excited about it as i was, so it is nice to know i'm not alone!
Instead of putting screws through the shelves (18:30) you could put wedges between the bottom support and the bottom of the cleat. Slotted behind the brackets, they would be secure but easily removed for adjustment.
Might I suggest you get yourself what we call in the UK a bump cap. It's a baseball cap with foam cushioning and a thin but hard shell inside. It's great for protecting your head in these kinds of situations and much more comfortable and practical than a standard hard hat/helmet.
It's so satisfying getting everything put away nicely so you can find it without having to dig through a lot of crap. Super nice shop upgrades here! P-touching with my brother... Thanks for sharing!
Label makers are the most important tip ever! My epiphany was to label both ends so there was no wrong way to put it away. @8:20, one tip for those temp blocks, if you have made them the height you want the bottom of the shelf, you wouldn't have had to measure and they would have held the weight while attaching the shelf with no risk of falling .
When I am working with low ceilings, I take off the ball cap. I find the bill blocks enough of my vision of the ceiling that I hit my head more with it on.
I've taken to writing the contents on the black bins with sidewalk chalk. Big letters. Easy enough to clean off later, but shows up and stays in place very well.
A thought on the french cleat retension device, instead of screwing a board across the space, screw in ovals that can be turned 60 degrees to provide the clamping, then released just as easily (2 per shelf, one turned clockwise, one counterclockwise.) design up a template, and have the CNC route out a bunch, including the screw hole in the middle. The advantage being that you can limit how much needs to be removed when you decide that the shelf of 12 quart Serlites needs to be 2 shelves of 6 quart Serlites. (or vice versa....
Black and yellow caution tape, yellow lights...and now french cleat walls. Is this Wesley Treat, or did I stumble on an alternate Atomic Dairy channel!
Rather than screwing your loose french cleat to the wall, put a spacer between the it and the fixed cleat above it. That will be tons to stop it jumping out, but also means the wall can be instantly reconfigured (Acknowledging that this isn't a wall you'd regularly reconfigure)
All the weight on those shelves rests on horizontal screws. I would support the shelves with extra 2x4s vertically between the shelves up against the existing vertical members.
You're disregarding the friction and clamping force of the mating 2x4s: th-cam.com/video/jPZ15eMFMmU/w-d-xo.html. I'm not parking cars on it. It's much stronger than it will ever need to be.
@@WesleyTreat yeah I buy that, for your situation in your location. But put a little more weight, say some wine bottles, and add some shaking (West coast earthquake or if you live next to a truck route) to open the joints up slightly thereby negating the friction, and the saving of a few extra 2x4s isn't a savings anymore. I'm just advising people to evaluate their situation and consider beefing up their shelves for very little extra cost.
Nice work! I have a 2.5 car garage (no room for the car, well maybe the mgb if I really try) that I have been sorting out for the past 5 weeks... SO MANY "things". I'm almost done and absolutely everything has been gone through and labelled. So worth the effort when you have way too many hobbies (CNC, laser, cars, bikes, electronics blah blah).
You are so clever! I love to watch you build (and curse) and bang away at stuff. BTW, I've got a P-Touch too, so if you ever want someone to P-Touch with just whistle.
We really like the Brother P-touch label printers. We have they type tou showed in the house, but in my workshop I have a model that connects to my windoze computer. Very, very useful. The only limitation I have found is that the computer model will only use the 1/4" and 1/2" wide tapes.
Thank goodness for the cool season in Texas. Are you in West Texas, the Gulf area? I wonder just how hot it gets up there in summertime? 110’s, or 120’s, maybe.
They make a 1/4" quick couple for air hose that I use that you have to twist the collar to disconnect so you don't accidentally pop the hose off or have them come apart when you have 2 hoses connected together and you're dragging them across the floor. Just an old man's advice. Take it or leave it.
In lean manufacturing, labeling things is a huge deal. Yes, P-Touch machines are totally sexy. You can't find things if they're not appropriately labeled. It's an off-shoot of the idea that there's a place for everything, and at the end of a task, everything goes back into its place. You waste no time looking for things that way, and time is the one resource you can't make more of.
Nice, except for those translucent plastic tubs. On a cold day, they will shatter just by looking at them wrong. I'm partial to those opaque Roughneck tubs (which of course I have to label).
I may be wrong, but I think this could be done with 1x4's and save you close to half of the weight. The screws are probably the weakest point of the build anyway 😅 Cheers?
There is a lot of unpleasant things in DIY projects but very high on that list has got to be working in places you can’t stand up fully. It just peels the years off of the stability of your spine like post it notes. We evolved to stand up fully not at a 45 degree angle lol.

That was a project for sure, but ... DAMN! You really needed to use the Mak'tar chant of strength, "Larak tarath."
Loving the 'Easter egg' towards the end. It is oddly satisfying to watch someone else get organised whilst living with a pigsty of a workshop.
When your boot heel is used as a BFH, classic DIY tools are the best!
I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.

What a savings!
I stumbled across your channel last week; I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos!!!!
And yes I feel like an assassin when I load nails!!
Aside from the awesome build, your sci-fi move references are stellar. Great video, Wesley!
Better a land strider than a Wheeler from Return to Oz. Great build. Enjoyed your suffering and eventual triumph!
Love me a good label maker session! It's always a shame when I run out of things to label!
You got me with the edibles comment...and disclaimer. Awesome!
My new favorite woodworking and woodworking adjacent channel!
Edibles, land strider dark crystal reference, stealing signs...It's the first video of yours I've seen but I'm subbing and we should be best friends.
You've got some awesome builds, but I subscribed for the epic nerd references ❤

Yeah every time I see that now I keep hoping Ellen Ripley will make an appearance with her flamethrower/grenade launcher.

"An evening of P-touch... with my brother" that's got to be one of the funniest lines I've heard on TH-cam in a long time.
Two best things I did was modular storage and label maker. 👍
I am also a fan of brother p touch and use his services regularly. At work I even have the heavier duty Brother P-Touch EDGE.
Be interesting to see if TH-cam tracks pause times at 2:17
