  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2019
  • Adam shares his latest shop upgrade and build: a leatherworking station and storage box for all his leather-related tools! This beautiful wooden box was made in the process of working on his Star-Lord costume belt, and replaces a previous acrylic toolbox. Adam guides us through this toolbox's form factor and its influences.

    As a leather craftsman I find that having a large work surface free of tools lying about helps immensely. But at the same time there are so many special tools being used it's difficult to keep your workspace clear. Great build! And I hope you do more leather related videos

      Learned that trick in middle school wood shop. It's amazing. If you put a dato grove on the inside before you assemble. When you make the outside cut the lid will slide over that lip. Think small jewelry boxes. That step wasn't necessary for his project but it's a sweet trick, tight seams. Have fun!

    Adam, thank you so much for giving the Studley tool chest reference. What a thing of beauty it is, as an architect I love when things prove the adage that firm follows function and this is an example that I can use to inspire and guide those embarking into my profession or other design disciplines. I have always believed that knowing how much crafts and trades persons can teach designers through their work is vital in understanding the processes in designing functional objects that draw their beauty from that function. The images of this tool chest now sit in my mind alongside such diverse references as the courtyard gardens of Kyoto to a Spitfire fighter as expressions of a functional form being elevated to an expression of beauty.
    The one downside is that isn't not helping my insomnia as I'm now thinking busily and have been since I watched your video at 4.15am (UK timezone) and am trying very hard not to head to either my shed or model making work shop for an organisation spree, and no doubt annoyed neighborhood from early morning clattering from my property.

    Adam, as a profession I'm a Continuous Improvement manager at a Yogurt manufacturing facility. We focus largely on machine operation and efficiency. As a result, a large portion of my job consists of 5s projects (sort, set, shine, standardize & sustain). When you said "everything has a place and everything in its place" made me so happy because that is the 5s motto I live by! It has expanded from my work into my home life! It's addicting and as you said very relaxing and pleasing to look at! This box is beautiful and very inspiring! I'm going to show this video to my entire CI team for inspiration! Thanks!
