For those who haven't through of it, you can make an additional floor, with just the alignment block at each end, and put casters under it, so you can move whole stacks of boxes. Particularly helpful for bringing the season decorations in from the garage all at once, or taking inventory to sell at shows.
I just found your channel. This is a great video. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to get the plans and get to the labor of love in woodworking. It is what I have been looking for.
Great job Carl. I love these boxes. I think when I have the time to build these I'll add some biscuits when gluing up the sides for added strength. I'd be afraid if one of the boxes fell or was dropped the glued up sides may fail. The added strength from the biscuits would increase the strength and durability. Keep up the great work!
Hello Mr Holmgren. Hope you are well. Time for me to finally start building your storage boxes. The plans are easy to follow. Thank you for your thoroughness. I am well past the time for my making these. One thing I’ve discovered is I am having a dickens of a time in breaking down plywood. I’m just not a fan of singlehanded pushing full sheets of plywood through a 1963 Craftsman table saw. I find my circular wandering when using a straight edge guide. I would be interested as to you thoughts on any other options. Track saws seem to be a very expensive option. I will check your video again to see if I’ve forgotten anything. Stay safe.
Genius Carl. I love your design. I plan on building a set. Keep up the great work with your videos. Your one of my favorites on TH-cam, and I watch a lot of woodworking on TH-cam.
I just found this, bookcase and love the idea, and want to purchase the plans. I wish I could get these plans. Any thoughts from folks on how to do this, and support this individual in some form?
Hi Carl, I know you haven't been active for about a year, but I'd love to be able to get a set of these plans and video. Are they still available? This is an amazing design and I'd love to build a set. I hope all is well with you. Take care.
Very nice boxes. I really like how they have two access doors. I'm thinking these are a bit too fancy for just storage. After all that work I'd want them in the lounge room. :)
Woohoo! Been waiting for these, they look awesome. Off to buy the plans now, and a dado blade and some more clamps. Guess this is gonna cost me more than $100 ;) Have you done any weight testing, how heavy can I go (say if they're filled with books)?
+Pete G I have bins filled with coffee table books, LP records, magazines and they hold up well. Use a good hardwood (e,g, Maple) for the 3/4 X 3/4" reinforcing strip under the front edge of the floor. The back panel supports the back edge of the floor. If you anticipate moving them any distance, I would suggest 1/4" plywood for the back panel instead of 1/8". The back panel keeps the ends from racking. ///Carl c
Good work sir and congratulations, but I think you could review think private video thing, I don't know if it's just for this project or if you keep this as rule, but the most successful woodtubers always show the entire process and profit from views and merchandise. The problem is, after a while the people stop watching, because they know the video is just a teaser for what they really want to see.
+Fabio BR Thank you for you insightful comment. I tend to agree with you on releasing a complete video instead of selling access to a private video with plans but I yielded to suggestions from friends, family and IT partner who thought I wouldn't sell any plans if I showed too much on the videos. I'll surely take you suggestion under consideration in the future. Now I have at least one vote on my side.... ////Carl
+Carl Holmgren I will by the plans just cause I have watched you in videos for a while and it almost feels like stealing for the number of ideas you give freely and explain so well. I think this public video has already given me and many of us DIY types, enough info to make these. My suggestion would be for you to sell a reduced price plan package, e.g. $24.00 for a three plan set or something like that. I also suggest you add a general mobile tool base plan with the details of the best of your designs of them, mine isn't exactly like any of yours, but my mobile 200+lbs TS/Router table came together after watching one of your earlier videos, Thx
Wonderful video, Great idea.
That was the sincerest thank you I have ever heard on TH-cam and I just want to say Thank you back.

Carl, i just discovered your channel the other day.
I'm already a big fan of you.
congratulations for your work.
cheers from Brazil
Late to join but have enjoyed these clever ideas & useful tips. Thank you for your generous sharing.
Ideal for storage.Thank you for showing this to us.
Beautiful furniture. Fine details. I love your workshop set up. So organized and clean. Looks like a TV show workship. Thanks for your videos.
Very nice design on the Storage Boxes....Great explanation of the build process in your video........Well done, Carl.
Thank you Carl. Just now discovered your channel....These storage boxes are genius.
Very nice. I like the attention of details, that you put in your design.

Stunning. Wish I thought of that. Thanks for sharing
Very nice containers. And congratulations on your continuing success!

nice storage bins , very good idea, I always enjoy watching your videos, keep them coming !!!
I like the idea. Thank you that you gave us for free very watchable scenes of the project. It was very inspirational for me. Greetings from Slovakia.
This is fantastic. Do you think drawers would work instead of the drop down hatch? Or would the weight coming out be too much for the tower?
well done Carl, thanks for sharing your smart designs, and congratulations on the success.
Please, sir, keep on trucking (from France).
awesome. This is exactly what I need to store my card collection. Easy to add on, and my collection grows.
Great design! Thanks for sharing
Fabulous ergonomic: elegant, practical & affordable. Thank you!.
Jay Bates was right! Carl your channel is very impressive, I love it!
Great concept. Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you for this video and thank you for your service, sir.
Hi Carl, I know you haven't been active for about a year, but I'd love to be able to get a set of these plans and video. Are they still available? This is an amazing design and I'd love to build a set. I hope all is well with you. Take care.
Very nice, thank you. I am looking forward to building them.

looks like the domain is dead...shame
"Less than $100?" I hope they're even way cheaper than that to make a piece.
+patriotsriot It's less than $100 for the set of six boxes, so around $16 per box.
ya, that makes more sense. :)
