- This is about the quickest, easiest way to put your Forstner bits away. In this video I'm going to show you not only how to make this beautiful homage to one of my favorite set of tools, but my favorite way to store these. Yes, you could hang this on the wall, but I really like having it right next to my drill press where I have to put the bit back to grab another one.

Very well done Rob. Whenever my box starting to look like yours I’ll make one. For now my Forstner bits are in one of the drawers in the tool chest below my drill press.
Hey, as long as you know where they are and they don’t get in the way, it’s all good. Thanks Don. 👍
Make Things, that box of Forstner was a big purchase at the time but it’s really paid off. Like you, I use them a lot.
Made it back and watched it on the right channel. The plug inset numbering is a nice touch. I never WOOD have had the patience for that.
Thanks! I was going to do brass but that brass and my plug cutter don’t seem to get along so well.
@@MakeThings You need to get a lathe then.
I like your bit size labels. I was waiting for you to sand them to clean up the marker....but still a very cool idea
As it happens, I'm getting ready to make something to house my Forstner Bits. I couldn't figure out how until I saw this video. Thank You so much.
Thanks! Send me a DM on Instagram with a picture @makethingswithrob ...I’d love to see what you come up with!
Great vid mate! Super idea and lovely pictures and editing - good job all round. And love the bonkers choice of music; giggled the whole way through...
Haha, thanks Mark! I love that music...Kevin MacLeod is a genius in my book.
I kept expecting some kind of Woody Woodpecker laugh.
Good idea! I like the contrasting plugs to make it look nice and tell you what each one is.
Bruce, been a while! I love this type of storage because it makes putting things away a breeze while also allowing you to know what you’re missing.
@@MakeThings I really need to do more of that. I like it when it is so easy to put things away, and when they're out, it's so easy to see that they're not where they belong.
Bruce A. Ulrich forgive me for the plug, but I built my shop wall exactly for that purpose...and I never lose any of these tools:
th-cam.com/video/kkj-uc42Dsw/w-d-xo.html
Cool idea! I would have placed the markers on a straight line along the bottom or along a marked angle so that they look a bit more uniform but I wouldn’t have thought of using plugs. Great thought!
Thank you! That’s the best part of this sport, there’s so many ways to do everything.
That is really impressive. Once I see it the solution seems so obvious.
Worth watching a second time so I can make a few notes. I might use a soldering iron or woodburning pen to make my size labels.
My goodness gracious me, very exquisite buddy & end product equates to resolution for a storage issue 🍻👍👍👍👍
Whoa, your avatar changed! I didn’t know who this was at first! Thanks Dirk, means a ton brotha 👊
Very cool, but I'm more impressed by your use of a drywall anchor. Brilliant. I haven't watched all of your videos, but I'm sure you point this out somewhere. Just Brilliant.
Thank you very much!
That toggle bolt is very clever
Great video. Got some good ideas for how to design and create a rack for my collection of bits. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome idea and execution Rob!!!
Kevin, thanks man! Had fun with this one!
That's the prettiest drill storage I've ever seen! Awesome new intro
what this guy said ☝ :) :)
Thanks Dave! I love padauk and maple together...such a beautiful mixture.
Superb idea Rob 😉 The music gave me a flashback to 70's comedy movies and now I'm going to search for a Norman Wisdom movie to watch later 😁 ॐ
I know, I loved that music!!!
Thanks Chris, namaste buddy. 👊
Nice video dear friend thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Ηλίας!
Great build Rob👌
Thanks man! Hope all is well for you brutha 👊
Thanks for the info!
I have a completely different set and I am also constantly confused by which hole the bit goes in. (Or comes out of). Those little numbers on the plugs are really cool! 😎
I know, right?! You have to start at the left side of the box and work your way over...so frustrating!
I agree the plug number labels are very cool. Might have been more cool to paint the entire face then sand it down so only the depressions with the numbers would retain the paint.
That's a great idea Rob!
Thanks Tony! Didja notice me using some of those fades you use so much in your videos? I saw you do them and had to figure it out!
Yeah, looks good man! Lately, I've realized they are not only good for scene shifts but they also seem to help express the passing of time in some situations.
Slow and Expensive totally agree. I think the blend keeps the project moving quickly...which is great for the ADD world we live in.
great work!
Thanks a lot!
Few years ago the guy in front of me at the city dump the away that exact bit set he left before us and I took it, only 5 bits needed sharpening.
Nice work!
Nice work, I m going to do the same, but I m going to try to set the number on front of the holder
Cool! And good intro!
Great fun video. Nice build thanks.
Thanks man!
I like it. Thanks
Looks great!
Thank you so much! I love the combination of pauduk and maple!
Erich.slavicek@gmail.com
We here in Austria can get not so easy padauk, but we an get easy Mahagoni and Birch....(and yes, Maple to)..... It looks also good
LOVE THE MUSIC>
So much better than the one I made, think I`ll start over Thanks
Thanks Scott!
Very nice!
Thanks buddy!
The video was great. I just want to thank you for three specific things: 1) The hilarious gold panning scene, 2) the salt idea - this really solves a serious problem of mine. I have been using masking tape to try and stabilize the pieces during clamping. 3) You are really meticulous with your work, the way you did those numbers shows a lot of care and thought.
Thank you so much and keep up the good work!!
Thanks man! Getting meticulous used on my project from the absolute KING of meticulous is very gratifying. I love making those ‘let’s make things’ shorts as it forces me to learn how to edit videos better. Makes me even happier other people enjoy them! 👍
Love it
Dude...your video editing is mesmerizing.
Haha thanks.
Impressed by your lettering skills. The 26mm is on the wrong side of the 1” bit though.
Yep...I got them mixed up when I set them up. You’re the second person to get that!
Thanks for the compliment!
Very nice
A few times in the past, I have used salt as an friction technique to keep glued pieces from slipping. I have never liked that because salt can be / is corrosive, and sandwiching salt between wood seems that, over time, would weaken the glue bond as the salt dissolves and / or attracts moisture into the wood (very slowly, but still…). I switched to a very light & sparse sprinkling of fine sand for these kinds of glue-ups. Sand will not dissolve, provides a better lock between two pieces of wood, and is inherently a neutral and would not, over time, deteriorate wood from the inside. And salt is less expensive than salt… By the way, this is a great idea, particularly using a noticeable colored wood as a visual clue.
Thank you. A very sparse amount of salt is not problematic, in my opinion, and has been used for centuries. It’s an old trick.
I would be far more skeptical about using sand that could damage my blade, but if it works for you, more power to ya.
It’s an excellent way to put away forstner bits as it tells me exactly what I’m missing. I’m honestly surprised it’s never been done before as it is extremely useful.
Thanks for the compliment.
Nice idea, The music is funy :3
Thanks!
I just drilled holes to match the end that goes in the chuck.
I really need to do this too! When you showed your box full of saw dust, I thought you had some how taken a picture of mine! hahaha
Did you put the plugs with the sizes on upside down?
Oh, meaning that’s why it’s sitting the way it is? No, I found it far easier to set it like that, but it could be hung against the wall pretty easily.
Those boxes get full of sawdust easily, don’t they?!
I'm a brand new woodworker and on a fixed income. Is there a budget friendly forstner bit set you would recommend?? Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney
Hey Rodney!
Definitely would recommend going with Harbor Freight. They’re not going to last forever, but for about $9 you can replace them easily for years to come:
www.harborfreight.com/14-in-1-in-forstner-drill-bit-set-with-38-in-shanks-7-pc-62361.html
That was pretty cleven. thank you.
Nice one, I have 2 boxes and a number of loose Forstner bits. It's a pain!
Ugh...now if only it were as easy to store drill bits. I have a huge coffee canister full of lost bits.
@@MakeThings Just get new ones rather than looking for them ;)
Hey I'm a Maker haha, words my wife hates to hear me say.
Hey I'm a Maker haha, words my wife hates to hear me say.
Make Things magnet bar with wooden divider to separate them.
This should help me out a lot, especially since I have an extremely small place to do my woodworking in. Thank you for the idea!
That’s awesome man! Sometimes little space saver ideas can make a little shop much bigger. My first shop was a 10 x 10 shed 😫
@@MakeThings Funny, that's what my "Shop" is, a 10'x10' storage shed from Home Depot. I might add it pulls "Double Duty" also as the name implies, so shes a little cramped it there,, LOL.
I wonder if a fine-point wood-burning tool could do the size markings.
Great idea. I need to get mine sharpened. I have a box full of dull ones ready to drop off.
They’re a pain to sharpen. These German ‘colt’ ones I got are supposed to be easier, but the slightest mistake ruins them. Thanks man.
Make Things lumber yard sends them out for $6 each.
With that music playing in the background I thought Tom and Jerry gonna come out give you a hand.
It reminds me of 50-60’s television, one of my favorite era’s.
Yes, I feel also!!!!!!
A great idea for all of the reasons you stated. Watching the process was interesting but heck that tune in the video nearly drove me nuts, fortunately I have a volume control. Just a polite suggestion, if you must use the tune again then turn the volume right down so that it’s not so infuriatingly distractingly. Otherwise a great video.
Thank you...I appreciate it! I know, I’ve been cutting the music back significantly lately and returned to more of an explaining dialogue.
Thank you for the input!
More MacLeod if you don't mind me saying...
I like the video and I'm probably going to build this for my forstner bit set the only thing that I would change is the music. That music started to give me anxiety
Haha, that’s great! Sorry John!
@@MakeThings LOL! It's all good. Keep making great content. I look forward to seeing your channel continue to grow
Очень круто👍
GREAT to see you using a clamp on the drill press :-)) best practice , but hardly see anyone do it, all the woodworkers on you tube just hold the wood by hand ??- best way to have the drilled object smack you in the face!! why do only metal workers use vices on a drill press?, should hold true for all materials and people who work in the shop.
I’m not always good at using clamps, but you’re exactly right, especially with forstner bits. I’ve whacked myself enough times now to know better!
Great idea. But please tell me why you sprinkled salt on the glue?
It’s to give the two layers a little friction so they don’t slide around. You only need a tiny bit though. Too much will dry it out.
@@MakeThings Thanks, that's a great idea.
But 26mm is bigger than 1"! I'll never be able to un-see this!
Haha...good eye! You caught the mistake 😂
Yes, and mixing the metric one in with the others? Reminds me, when metric first came to N.Z. A workmate called out from under a house for me to cut him a length of pipe, 1 metre 1 1/8 inches. But I will be making the holder for my bits, thank you.
Jevandtieriel John Canada is mostly metric so when driving through I stopped to get some hose for a fuel can. I asked for 1 meter of hose and was told they sell it by the foot.
ok i read an article that salt eats wood. we should be using pepper to season our woods.
As always Rob another great idea, but could have done without the goofy music. The plain sound of machinery is all the music I need. I have this obsession with containers and boxes and try to keep things in the boxes they came in if they are made of wood. But I like this idea enough I'm willing to sacrifice my Forstner bit box. Not only practical but in the long run, will save me some time. Thanks! PS- where did you find the attachment on the pillar drill that holds bits? Speaking of drill your drill press is a tad bit wobbly.
Hey thanks! My current videos do have music but it’s something you have to really listen for. Most of these older videos were made without any complaints, so I’ve tried to work with people a little by trimming it away.
You really have to build one of these. Of all the things I’ve built, this is one of those few things that glows brightly in my shop. I NEVER lose my forestner bits now as I can see from a distance what I’m missing. Honestly can’t figure out why this idea hasn’t been used before.
The attachment actually came with the press...and it’s kind of nice to have, but I never remember to use it haha
As for wobbly, yes, not sure if it’s the bits or the press, but as long as I use a brad point bit I don’t seem to have any problems.
Thank you, as always, for commenting!
Gotta build me one.
First! Hey! We're rich! Nice shop org dude - that was a great plug for inset numbering as well (see what I did there). Keep up the funny schitt man - it's gold! (😎) Now no one has to forst you to put your bits away in the difficult to understand box that it came with. (😎) Next you need to make one of them for your toothbrush - your teeth are black. #🥓🍗🍺
#SarcasticDrumRoll
Soooooo......manyyyyyyyy....punnnssssss!!!!!!! 🤯
Thanks Rob 😂
I see that you sprinkled salt between the boards...I’ve never seen or heard of this before. Can you please explain why? I’m fascinated.
Hey Andrew! Some people scoff at the this method, but it’s simple. During a glue up two pieces of wood can gradually move very slowly. So slow that you don’t notice it till the next day and it’s ruined.
Salt is all about friction. You could use sand or grit, but those are terrible if you plan on cutting after the glue up.
Some of the bigger TH-camrs have made fun of the method so I end up telling people my wood prefers sodium in their glue up.
Thanks for watching!
@@MakeThings well that truly is fascinating and now makes sense. Thanks!
My pleasure ;)
did you mount it to the wall?
No, but you could. It sits next to my drill press table as shown on the thumbnail.
I got a 100mm (sorry 4") forstner bit the other day... but I am afraid to use it.
@Mama C Will make sure I have safety glasses on.
Damn... I can see that being super useful... and super scary.
What kind of project did you get it for?
@@a.g.silverbane6335 Nothing in particular. Just thought it might come in handy for something one day. I will probably use it in a video soon.
@@emilylindstrom724 Exactly... now what can I use it for...???
What's the purpose of throwing down salt between the glued layers?
Friction. A couple grains goes a long way.
I like your projects
I have been watching a lot of youtubers in wood working to see what works and what doesn’t because I’m preparing to start a TH-cam channel .
I enjoy your channel and one thing I noticed that I saw with Steve Carmichael
You did smile
When Steve first started he didn’t smile
If you go back and watch his early videos he never smile
Them all of a sudden he was over the top smiling and you can also see his ratings go through the roof and his videos were just better .
I want us all to do good .
Check out Carmichael’s work shop and see for yourself
Then try it !
You can thank me when you see the results
Hell you can send my the x-carve you’ll earn ....lol
I could have done with out the music
Why defend the music? It's not a personal attack. The music was probably free to use, and we can totally understand that... But it is obnoxious.
Everyone's got an opinion. FWIW, I happen to like the music. And I'm glad Rob's making these videos so I'll live happily with whatever music he chooses.
The music's great,.. you suck jerk
I believe the music adds a completing whimsical mood. Of course everyone's taste differs
Just curious what's the salt do?
A tiny amount gives a little friction. Very small amount like 10 grains of salt.
Did it? At what time?
I don’t think you have enough claps I think a few more will do the trick 😂 😆 😂
Well...you can never have too many haha
whats the salt for ?
It adds a slight amount of friction so they don’t slide around.
Hey, anybody can make great things when you are all organized and have great tools!!! Lets see ya can something marvelous when your garage is a pig sty and you can't move around. Not so easy huh.
Whats up with the salt on the glue?
Besides preventing movement, my boards prefer a little more sodium in their glue ups.
What's the salt for!
make a panel saw
Just for you, I’ll make 2.
Привет,тебе,мой англоязычный друг!
Привет, мой русский друг!
Best thing about this video is the music.
I love it myself. Lot of haters though 😬
At minute 2:08, why salt and not sugar???
I’m guessing sugar would work just as well to give it friction.
@@MakeThings I ask because salt is very hygroscopic.... I don't know how sugar is....
Does your wife know you have her pastry mat?
Haha, I made a video about silicone in the workshop. Definitely not, she’d kill me! She still hasn’t gotten over the sawdust and glue in the freezer experiment!

Like the video but had to watch without the sound. Terrible music choice
Reminds me of Esquivel
Dude, every video i see of you, you have this doctor giving bad news/ in pain look on your face. Cheer the hell up man, Christ.
I am very emotional...
yeah except none of that ever happened
You lost me when you sprinkled salt on your glue joints. Bad practice that weakens the joint (per the makers of Titebond) just spread an even thin layer on the surfaces with an applicator and use proper clamping technique and you'll be fine. May not be as important for this application, but still a bad idea in general.
I’ll have to agree to disagree. It’s a centuries old technique that has never failed me.
th-cam.com/video/1Ai-IQvRDo4/w-d-xo.html
Furthermore, it’s in titebond’s best interest to encourage people to not use anything other than their glue for liability reasons. While a few grains here and there is fine, there are some fools that will layer it on like they’re spackling drywall.
Well, I saw it, no one else did. your secrets safe!
I feel like we need a secret handshake from here on out. 🤔
@@MakeThings - Ok, could never keep a secret anyway. It may be I'm wrong but when you stamped the sizes on the buttons, they were the wrong way round when the storage was fitted on the wall. Of course, if you didn't glue them in until after you could still have turned them round. BTW in the UK the timber would probably cost more than the Forstner bits. Nice though.
I actually leave it standing with the bits holding the block up in the back, so in that way it is the right way. But I did goof on the 25mm. It should be before (after?) the 1”.
Exotic timbers are pretty but they’re sore on the pocket books! Living in Indiana I’m surprised that some of the African wood can be cheaper than the wood that comes from South America!
Thanks for commenting...we’ll keep our club secret just the same 😜
2:50 smacking top of those nice Forstner bits with a ball-peen hammer!! That's where I had to stop watching.
I would call it 'tapping'. Definitely wouldn't want to smack them.
My wife tells me I’m always putting my bit in the wrong holes😲
Could have been a good clip, but that music was terrible. Made it unwatchable.
Once again, this is a lovely product but WHAT IS THE POINT.
This is like serving a Big Mac on a gold platter.
It’s an exercise in good quality carpentry,, NOT a practical storage for drill bits.
Explain why it’s not? I think I did a good job explaining why I made it. I’ve used it for months now and have never lost a size or wondered what the bit I was using was.
Make Things I think what he’s saying is that it could have been done with basic pine or plywood, why the choice of woods or whatnot.
But, quite frankly, it’s a silly question. People spend loads of money on products that are equally the same in terms of functionality as their cheaper counterparts. Why do they spend the money? Because they enjoy working with something that looks nice or feels good in their hands.
Why do kings eat on silver plates instead of wood plates? Because they can and like it.
This science-is-truth fellow is steeped in his own logics. Ignore him and dopes like him. This was a good project...the music...not my taste but didn’t change the quality either way of the video.
