But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
That Cleat system looks so solidly put together, even with all that weight it doesnt look like anything will move. You did a good job with that project.
Not sure what I am more excited about the great storage ideas or the fact that you finally have a long term sponsor. It means that your channel is growing and this is great!
This is the kind of low budget “gadget” storage that I need. Practical, functional,and easy to make with most of the stuff I already have in the shop. Outstanding, I cannot wait to see the remainder of the projects.
This is the video that has truly inspired me to replace a particular set of shelves with cleats. I appreciate your approaches in general. Thanks for sharing.
I really like and appreciate your presentation. We watch these types of videos for inspiration and sometimes just to watch someone working with wood. However, we don’t necessarily need to see every little detail repeated a million times. You choose to show parts of the process while explaining what you have already done. This is a great way to visually tell a story. Keep up the great work!
Each morning I watch several Videos on woodworking while having my coffee: excellent organizational, space saving and innovational ideas. You really can't get things done in your shop without organization. I've just begun to do my my garage over in French Cleats, your video has given me some great ideas... I give you a ***** star rating!!!! Thanks.
Every single organizer in this video is one I have a need for. I was wondering where to put the French Cleats when I realized that the perfect spot is the pegboard where many of my tools currently reside. So right after I build the workbench based on your design in the other videos, I will build replace the pegboard with a French Cleat wall. Thanks! These are great ideas.
Even though it is simple for each item; it is one of the most helpful DIY'rs I have ever seen. And I am going to copy them soon. Love it. Thank you kind Sir. You are truly a "Cut" Above.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Been watching US and European TH-camrs, but always been slightly frustrated with their inches and feet. They also often show great products not available in South Africa. Your videos are also fantastic in quality and ideas. Love your work!
Consistently the most creative storage solutions. Your techniques are great. The pencil holder with the flush trim bit to make the shoulder was my favorite.
Love all the ideas, but the rag holder is the sweetest rag holder I've ever seen! Glad you found your way back to making awesome vids for us to be inspired by, My tools all hang from a 100x100 rio sheet I have hanging over my bench (a bit like those old fashioned kitchen pot holders) and it is great for organizing clamps, vice grips, pliers, gloves, etc.
Your method when showing your process in making a project is impressive by only showing the important steps. Well done. I will continue to follow your methods.
Love the tape storage. At first I was thinking that putting the dowels in at an angle would keep the tape from falling off, but I like your washers much better.
Most of your videos are great to watch but since I have the luxury of a 20 ft x 35 ft workshop, I tend to watch the videos to see how you are getting on, not because I need to save space. This video, however, has 9 items that I can use in my workshop and although I don't have a cleat system (I was given 20 m of 2.5m high wooden library shelving) all of these projects can be fitted Ito my workshop and that makes this video better than great for me. Many thanks. Roll on the weekend, guess what I'm going to be doing :)
I absolutely love the hammer rack. That is definitely going to be a project I will get done this summer. Thanks for the great idea. I have a lot of different hammers and they are here and there. This will save me time and I won't be trekking around on a treasure hunt for the specific hammer that I require.
So much content and ideas. I need to make something like this to hold my ROsander while it spins down so I don't have to hold it for 30 seconds EVERY time I need to set it down. This way I can hang it on the wall above my bench even if it's still winding down. Great video sir...can't wait for another.
I really enjoyed these shop organizer ideas... I got a lot of inspiration.. so YES please more of these!!! I've done a lot of similar things. For hammers, I made a series of 'U' shaped cradles for each hammer, tilted slightly back so they would stay in place when stored. When I need a hammer I just grab the handle and pull it directly out. Your hammer system is simpler, so you can store more and don't have to fuss with the U shaped cradles, but on the other hand you have to lift it up and out, that would slow down the work flow a little... but that's a nit-pick, and I respect what works for others is a matter of personal taste.
Great news about the new sponsor. Amazing how the garage now seems bigger from when you first started now that you have all the space savers and organised stuff. keep up the great work Jean
Excellent video. Making these small additions to ones work shop makes the woodworking experience more enjoyable and the work area more inviting. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent storage ideas. I’d love to see the others. I’m also looking forward to catching up with the table store restoration. Congrats on the channel sponsor. 😃👍🏻
I’ve accomplished most of these tasks with 1-2$ screw in hooks- screwed directly to the studs with 3” screws for heavier items or screwed with 2” screws into a long backer which is screwed into the studs every 16” giving me infinite variability for spacing.
You and I must be brothers from another mother!!! IK try to organize my tools in a variety of ways, but most often I use left over and home-made kitchen cabinets. I do, however, organize by function, and because I was a remodeler for many years, I have many copies of the same tool. I was glad to see how you handled some of the issues I've dealt with over the years.
I love the simplicity of these. Some French Cleat ideas I've seen online are a full blown project themselves. I'd love to see your take on a simple holder for chisels. Also, a simplified version of something complicated like a circular saw.
Great ideas. Congrats on the new sponsor. My truck has a large bed rail mounted tool box. The back is side is flat. I use 3 rare earth magnets to secure my large square to the box. My smaller square is inserted into the gap and rests on another toolbox mounted to the floor of the bed. Been that way for over five years and have never had then fall off.
So you are from SA. I thought so. So lovely down there, I must visit. I'm in California (CA) and a lot of our plants are from the Cape area of SA - Natal Plum, Cape Honeysuckle, Gerbera Daisy, Plumbago White and Blue, Trumpet Vines like Campsis Radicans, Agapanthus Africanus (mistakenly called Lily of the Nile), Abelia, to name a few. I love these organizational projects you do. So very handy. It solves a lot of pesky problems like tape and glove storage. I have a better tip for you on the gloves. Instead of clothes pins, use curtain clips or curtain rings with clips. Easy to clip on gloves and you have a hook or ring on the other end. Matter of fact, I have a bunch in my sewing box and now know what to use them for. FYI - look into large drapery hooks that are not pokey but rounded (no pin) and these are also very handy to hang things on. I love them for curtains as they are easy to remove and wash. Your magnet plate was very exciting to see because it solves a problem I had with drill and driver bits. I detest the boxes these driver bits come in. Small boxes, tight slots (made in China) and you hurt your hands fighting to get them in and out. What a pain! I gave away all my boxes. I wanted to build magnet plates to mount inside a wooden box. I bought the Neodymium magnets but could not figure out how to do this right. Recessing them is genius! Very happy I saw this. For those in the USA, Harbor Freight has large magnet strips for $2 - $5 and you just screw them into a wall panel. The protruding top lip is handy to support screwdrivers and files. No need to recess these. I love your projects. So useful to save space. Congrats on being sponsored! I'm using these tips in my RV as well. Making double walls in the RV kitchen to store spices and gadgets. Thank you. Dankie!
Jean, thank you so much for making my life easier for when it is my turn to make these myself. Currently working on seven 12 meter long retention walls so the workshop is neglected as usual. Keep it coming my man!
Man these are excellent!! Looking forward to the seeing the next steps in the Table saw/space saver, but a future video like this would be much appreciated!! Kudos!
Jean, you never cease to amaze me! You have a good array of tools and machines, but such a small and confined workshop, yet your workshop is always neat and clear! In addition to being a genius (and it’s unanimously agreed that you are one) you must also be a magician! 🪄
This is my first time viewing this channel. I don't even have a woodshop yet, but holy cow, this makes me want one just to be able to organize it! Subscriber on Day 1! Great job!
Hey Jean, I liked the way your workshop is really organised, functional, practical and easy to do. I hope I can do some of the things you have done for your workshop. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
For someone like me who is so unorganized I'm lucky to find my pants in the morning, your videos like this inspire me to actually try to become organized. Maybe I'll even find an extra pair of socks to go with the pants! Cheers!
Very nice! I am considering using some of your ideas for my system. If I could offer a few suggestions that I think would refine some of those organizers, the first would be for the pencil organizer. You might consider placing a small piece of the packing foam at the bottom of tubes that will have sharpened pencils to help preserve the tips and avoid buildup of carbon/lead. For the rag/cloth storage, you might consider finishing the inside with a high gloss/smooth finish to avoid fibers catching. Certainly not critical, but maybe a little finishing touch. Appreciate your video. 😊
Man I love the way that you make use out of what you have rather than wasting money on buying new stuff

Congratulations on getting a sponsor on board! Great news!
I can always find a good idea I haven't thought of on this channel.... cheers.
It's a pleasure.
Agreed
Congratulations for getting a sponsor. Glad you aren't leaving us. Great ideas!
All of these ideas are great! Off cuts videos are a great idea given the current price of lumber!
agree
Yes, Jean. Nice to see some small projects with instant pay offs. Thanks for the video.
Great ideas!! definitely the most complicated pencil/marker holder I’ve ever seen
Perhaps some foam on the bottom to protect the tips. As it seems they are stored tip down.
@@PeterPetersNL ...
This is the video that has truly inspired me to replace a particular set of shelves with cleats. I appreciate your approaches in general. Thanks for sharing.
Who can't use simple to build and great storage ideas?!!! I'm a big fan of French clothes, too! Keep up the awesome video work!

That’s the best hammer storage I’ve seen, might have to do that for myself. Thanks for the inspiration x
Nice to have you back!!!

I’m definitely going to make the hammer rack this morning. I’ll use the rail from the wife’s wardrobe 😂😂

Nice rainy day projects. Nice watch (on your wrist)
Great video! Can not get enough ideas for storage in a small shop. Congrats on a new sponsor.

fantastic man
Love the very thoughtful planning of these projects. Also, the delivery of the information is completely different then most woodworkers.
Love the tape storage. At first I was thinking that putting the dowels in at an angle would keep the tape from falling off, but I like your washers much better.
These are all very good ideas, especially for the safety glasses
This channel stands out...you are incredible creative and skilfull.

As you stated, in a small workshop, storage solutions prioritize organizational efficiency. Great ideas.
Your system sir, is impeccable. easy to reach, clean, tidy, and even easier to rearrange in the future. good work! thanks for sharing
Love everything you showed, thanks. I'm finishing my first woodshop and I need all the help I can get.
I absolutely love the hammer rack. That is definitely going to be a project I will get done this summer. Thanks for the great idea. I have a lot of different hammers and they are here and there. This will save me time and I won't be trekking around on a treasure hunt for the specific hammer that I require.
Liked the storage for your Squares and rulers. very simple, great idea i'll be using that in my shed.
So much content and ideas. I need to make something like this to hold my ROsander while it spins down so I don't have to hold it for 30 seconds EVERY time I need to set it down. This way I can hang it on the wall above my bench even if it's still winding down. Great video sir...can't wait for another.
I've heard that some people use a scrap of carpet for random orbit sander rundown. It's very low tech, but cheap, easy and effective.
I really enjoyed these shop organizer ideas... I got a lot of inspiration.. so YES please more of these!!! I've done a lot of similar things.

This is just brilliant !!!!!!!!!!! Love it. Lots of greetings from Belfast
Always looking for great ideas for storage...thanks!
Love all the extra care put into each project as it really makes the difference asthetically. ❤️
All those ideas are great all space savers can't wait to use them in my shop
These are ALL great! Simple and straightforward as well as easy to make. Really useful video!
Great news about the new sponsor. Amazing how the garage now seems bigger from when you first started now that you have all the space savers and organised stuff. keep up the great work Jean
I can always count on clever ideas and builds. Yes, I would like to more organization ideas. Good work! Thank you.
Out of all the shop organization videos I've seen, several of your holders were designs I haven't seen yet. Thank you for that! Great video.
long term sponsor !! congrats man ... u deserve it !!
Several novel ideas for small tool storage, just the inspiration I needed for my shop, well done
So many great ideas. Thank you for sharing these. I'm probably going to make several of thees for my shop.
That's gonna be quite useful for my kitchen and for my desk. I'm waiting for the next video.
Great ideas. I especially liked the pencil holder.
Awesome ideas, I would love to see what else you have planned. This is giving me the push I need to update my shop storage. Thank you.
Perfect timing now that lumber prices here are at record highs I can now use up scraps.
Excellent video. Making these small additions to ones work shop makes the woodworking experience more enjoyable and the work area more inviting. Thank you for sharing.
Would love to see the rest of them. I'm gathering tons of ideas for my future shop.
I must agree with @Caseusfette 👍🏼 You have amazing ideas for a small workshop can’t wait to see the next one 😉
Excellent storage ideas. I’d love to see the others. I’m also looking forward to catching up with the table store restoration. Congrats on the channel sponsor. 😃👍🏻
Nice and neat uniform overall appearance dowel with washer ends a unique idea worth following
I've learned a lot while making shop furniture, tool holders etc. It's great fun and you improve your skills.
Good video, tyvm
One of the versatile tools that most people didn’t think of is drill press machine. Very nice job 😊
Really good ideas. I am at this exact spot in my shop right now and I am looking for these types of solutions so perfect timing.
I’ve accomplished most of these tasks with 1-2$ screw in hooks- screwed directly to the studs with 3” screws for heavier items or screwed with 2” screws into a long backer which is screwed into the studs every 16” giving me infinite variability for spacing.

congrats on the Sponsor, and the storage items were well done
Great ideas.

My smaller square is inserted into the gap and rests on another toolbox mounted to the floor of the bed.
Been that way for over five years and have never had then fall off.
Brilliant ideas! We need more videos like this!
China, these are the best ideas I have seen in a wood work shop video this year. Keep the good stuff coming👍
Your shop is looking good. You could use large plumbing tap washers on the hanger for the safety glasses.
Great idea. Thanks!
Loved this - please make another one. Thank you!
Great additions to any shop big or small. Good work 👍

I like the tape storage idea for all the reasons you like it. It does take up quite a bit of space just for tape though.
Beautifully done! Love the hammer and square organizer.
Ingenious but eminently practical. Thanks.
I am a big fan of your videos. Please keep them coming.
I do very much love watching your mind work.
Most useful considering I'm starting with my first box. I appreciate the method that has been shown. Thank you.
Clever man! I will be using several of these ideas. Thanks.
These are some of the best organizers I have seen on TH-cam. Great video. Thanks from Kansas!
Great video and excellent ideas, definitely make the follow-up with more of them. Keep metric, no need for silly imperial units. Cheers!
Happy to see Groundskeeper Willie's grandkids doing well

These are FANTASTIC!!! PLEASE do more!
Some great ideas - I need to look into redoing my own shop organisation for small items, and this has given me some great ideas.
Loved it all. I'm swapping over to a French cleat from a peg board and the garage is getting a make-over. Your video sure helped, thank you.
Love the tape storage. Well really all of them
