“Probably unnecessarily complicated.” Bob we have been watching you for years we know it will be
Bob is finally working around a pole to pay the bills. 😂
Thank you. I came to the comments in search of the missing stripper joke.
@@BioBrimm Paint stripper??
Very cool!
😂😂😂😂
🤣
I think the attic ladder concept still might be a cool idea to use for storing something else in the future.
A follow up video would be a fun, 5 places where I can put paint cans. I liked all the other options he mentioned.
Nothing can possiblae go wrong.
I'd love to see an over engineered one that keeps the 'steps' horizontal, rotating as you bring the ladder part down. Kind of like the tool chests that open from the top middle.
There's a guy "Dekay's Crafts" who makes cool sotuff. He's an architect who got interested in woodworking. He made some cool ladder concept storage .
@@hansangb That's an impressive wall of videos. Subscribed. TY.
I think an interesting concept would be a spray paint vending machine. You push the appropriate button, it drops into a shaker, shakes it for a couple of minutes, then drops it into the bin. 🙂 It would be a huge project, but super cool.
I also love the way a round shelf doesn’t have corners that would jab you as your squeezing past. Nice work.
You’ve talked about it before, but this is a great example of why I love this channel: I don’t have a pole in my shop to work around (nor a laser cutter or 3D printer, for that matter) - but the creative way you approach problem solving is an inspiration for how to tackle my own projects. Plus, your stuff is always cool as hell.
I love waking up (relatively early), getting a cup of coffee and firing up the new ILTMS video for the week. And I love the problem solving for this one.
Could you print a small 1/2 moon spacer that is like 1-2mm wide that is the thickness of the wood platform that will take up the slop but still be able to slide, then glue to the plastic shelf inside the hole for the lazy susan...think of it as a 2 part "flange/shim" for the mounting stand. Just print the spacers, pull the cans, glue the spacers inside the hole against the shelf that is already mounted...viola
Man...such a GREAT design and idea!
Keep em coming!!!!
I thought the same thing. 3D print a 2-piece bushing to slip between the pole and the shelf.
Likewise! I was thinking 3d-printed bushings would also work, could have them be a near-perfect fit and snap into place. Also potential for complicating it even further if he really wanted by incorporating some vertical rollers into them so they can be completely snug with the pole and still turn, or just using the fact that the plastic probably slides better.
Bob, gotta say, i love the way this channel has become, forced or chosen. Much more relateable/factual and much less entertainemt-format. You are still encrible entertaining, educational and fun to watch. Love your work 🙂
Totally agree with what you say about the channel being relateable - both in the early years when Bob had a small garage workshop, and now when he is doing his solo projects in a basement.
This direction of your videos is pretty amazing, a bit more philosophical about intentionality the changes in life and even the content feels more mature. Cheers Bob!
No excuses needed to make a video about this. A fun project and I tought it was a very creative solution.
If you altered this, so that the cans flared out (Think like a Christmas tree) you could massively increase the vertical density of the cans at the expense of eating into the floor space a bit more.
I wanted you to know that, even though this is a project that not many can use. it was entertaining to watch and you made it engaging enough that I was alongside you trying to solve the problems as they came up. It was fun!
I just got done doing therapy and discussing with my therapist how much I'm struggling with some tasks that I have to do that are mentally exhausting and this video just showed up at the absolute most beautiful perfect timing ever!
We all love you Bob. Thanks for helping us thinking outside the box .
Great idea! I have liquor store near my shop. They put out for trash, retail racks for drinks and few times per year. They give them to me, and they fit tape, paint shaker cans and other items. And they are on wheels.
Not weird at all. It's a smart idea and made an inconvenient part of your workspace into something useful. Nice job!
There is a TON of stuff in that shop but THIS is what grabbed my eye when I walked in. It’s genius! Legit!
Just reminds me of that expression, "How you do anything is how you do everything."
one of my fav projects recently tbh i love it
Love the use of the new tripod set up to get the shot of adding the shelves to the pole!
The value here is the introspection. Good work bob. Very good work. That reasoning hit me pretty hard
I love how you underestimate how good you have become at solving puzzles.
Couple ideas, for the sloppiness you could add 3 adjustable plastic blocks to act as a bearing surface and adjust it. Those poles if you're careful you can brace on the sides of it and take it off to put in the lazy Susan. Its a lot more labor intensive and requires a lot mor know how but that's a solution
I loved the project and the process, but especially the end "monologue" was inspiring - I think many people (including myself) sometimes struggle with the fact that their work or tasks don't feel meaningful. It's a good challenge to try to put more meaning into everyday chores and things we "have to" do anyway. Thanks for the reminder!
I *love* the pipe clamp to hold each level in place AND allow it the freedom to spin about. It's a wonderful solution, Bob!
I’d add little pins to the 3D printed can holders and matching slots in the laser cut plywood parts, just to help with assembly. If we’re having real fun, the pins could be snap locks, eliminating the need for glue 🤓
bob is one of my favorite mentors
Really loved your solution for this Bob. I feel like I would have really over designed a solution trying to get ball bearings that can fit in pieces around the pole. Your implementation is satisfyingly simple and still so effective!
I relate a lot to this video. I wanted to add power to a popup gazebo and add a space to potentially mount storage as well. With being material and having 4 thin metal support legs i turned to 3D printing to create brackets to snap around the gazebo legs that i could place wood supports across to fix plywood boards so i had a base for mounting the sockets and other things. Worked a treat and learnt a lot from it and certainly made it more interesting. Great Video
Fricken love this channel so much!
The filming/editing of the final install of all the parts around the pole is 🤌 🔥
Great video, One improvement i could see you do on the Base and cog part is notch in dove tails so they locate into each other better
I always really fancied the wall-e shelf’s he had in his little home.
Great idea Bob! Love the creative mind! 😎😎😎
The other thing is that the vibration and/or the rotation from moving ONE can or searching for that one can can cause centrifugal force, so it might be better to install a guardrail to prevent other cans from falling (sort of like with a carousel).
Plus, spray paint cans can come in different sizes (like some can be smaller or wider, like a can of glow-in-the-dark spray paint is smaller than a jumbo can of spray acrylic clear sealant. of course, removable adapters could work)
This was really fun! Every basement I have ever seen has those poles. It is super cool to see them being useful!
One of your best video's yet in terms of entertaining, the idea, but most important the life lesson, we all need a life check once in a while and thank you this was mine.
That’s a slick bit of pole dancing around a pole! Honestly, it is a great idea! And why not go that extra bit to make something unique? Well done!
I was in a similar sutiation, with my desk. I needed to extend it for more space. I could have just bought two shelf brackets and could have screwd them to the legs of the desk, but then they would not be removable and I would have ugly screwholes. Instead I went a more complicated, and more fun route. I chiseld out two 1.5 inch square holes on the apron, directly under the tabletop. Got woodden square stock from the store for slats and cut them to length. Stuck them in the wholes and layed the extention on those. The weight provides enought tension so the don't go anywhere. Some wooden blocks on the bottom of the extention, that hug the slats and it the extention is stable. It is removeable, and if I need to, I can just plug the wholes on the apron with square blocks
I just started 3D Printed a few weeks ago and I LOVE IT!!
Learning Fusion is like learning another language while standing on my head lol.
Love your builds my friend and the channel!!
Exactly me. Why I love having the ability to do cad and 3D print. That said sometimes there's a solution to it without cad and 3d printing, but the idea that those "tools" are at the disposal to diy/home/consumers is mind blowing considering not so long ago this wasn't really possible outside of a corporation and big expense equipment.
Great concept and kudos for coming up with an "out of the box" (or cabinet in this case) for a need. You could also use this solution for caulk tubes, paint cans, jars full of whatever. Don't know what the other 30 cans might be, but I would get rid of as many duplicates as possible and store them someplace out of the way. Love seeing the way your mind works coming up with solutions. - Chris
Hi, I'm Bruce and I like to watch Bob make stuff! 😂
Man im still listening to that Porishead Head cover you guys did.Great work Bob!
Great life advice at the end that really meant a lot to me, as I’m struggling to feel motivated at my job right now. Thanks for sharing, Bob!
Really enjoyed this video. Loved the in-process design iteration & the takeaways regarding intentionality.
Really innovative, great project. Good to see I'm not the only one with 10 cans of the same primer that are all 90% empty...
Awesome wrap-up! I use several of your videos for my robotics class. Totally going to share this one with them.
Resize the clearance space on the upper ring of the assembly so that you can snuggly fit dowels all around it or maybe even reshape it so that you can fit four of the said dowels in a cross, then you can cut the dowels to the panel thickness, place them in and screw a third, simpler ring with a smaller inner diameter just so that it loosely pinches the dowels in place. Now you've made a rudimentary ball bearing that will keep the shelves centered.
8:39 I like that you showed the new camera rig off when you assembled the pieces.
I love this solution. I though that you will end up with storage in the ceiling. But this solution is so much better and simpler.
The bloopers are kind of my favorite part of the videos. Having tried to record things like videos and voice overs, myself, I always kind of beat myself up over the flubs and tripping over my own tongue that happen. Being able to see that this is a normal part of the process makes it much less daunting to try again in the future.
that's awesome. you could also use that idea to make the ring like you did but make hooks that come vertical and the hook hang over the ring platform and it can hold stuff like tape for example. love this idea
Love the video Bob, great solution to the problem. And most importantly, a great message to wrap it up. Thanks & cheers!
On the 3d parts you clamped to the pole, you could’ve created a ridge on top of those pieces for the wood to glide on, maybe making them easier to turn with less friction. Good video! Keep up the good work!
You remind me time and time again that a "proof of concept" test piece is a great way to trial test different steps of the process
cool beans
Poll beans.
Pretty slick can holder. Ceiling storage would be cool, hinged ladder frame that holds stuff you need but don't use all the time.
The constraint I'd go with is use up your existing paint before buying more if you have so much. 75 cans I'd think you'd find a color close enough for a project. That's what I do with 3D Printer filament. Neat idea about using the columns.
"make it count" I love it.
And now I want to go do something in the garage.
Using the boring stuff we have to do as practice. Wow. Why does this feel like a sermon haha. Brilliant stuff
I would add a shield or something to keep stuff from falling out when it's bumped. Or at least taller bumpers... You could still make bearings too.. Like just put ball bearings in the center track, so it spins smoothly.
Or marbles
Useful and it added a splash of color to the space
Elegant and creative solution that uses the space and tools you have but most important you can access every single can individually. With a cabinet if something was at the back you'd have to take out a lot of cans to get to it.
hey thanks for the talk at the end. 🧡
Thank you so much for that. I needed alittle advice that made me step back and challenge myself to think inside and outside the box to keep an open mind
I was expecting a dry cleaner like conveyor belt for spray paint cans.... but this works too!
I think if you keep everything the same but instead of the hose clamp you can glue a few magnets to the wide part that contacts the pole. That way they can still swivel but you can also slide it up and down on the pole. Just make sure to put enough magnets so that it can support the weight of full cans, but not too many that it'll be too difficult to slide and swivel. Regardless it's still a really great idea!
Great idea and as always beautifully executed
Bob, as always, coming in with life advice while makin that paper.
A pretty cool project! I would think the most important part of the spray paint cans is the cap - which tells you what the spray color is... So I would make something that hides most of the can, except the cap. I would then sort the cans by color to make it more esthetic in the shop. But I love the creativity!
Normies: "Oh, no! This project is too complicated! Better make it simple!"
Bob: "Oh, no! This project is too boring! Better add a bunch of unnesesary complications!"
It's always awsome to see how he doesn't just settle but strives to make every oportunity a learning one. Dude's awesome.
Here’s a suggestion for you if you’re gonna make a cabinet make a cabinet with Lazy Susan in it . That way you can put your paint inside the Lazy Susan and just rotated around to you get what you want.
I completely agree with this idea of creating something that you need anyway and you make efficient use of space and time in this video. I have a complementary idea to your video to share: repurposing a mistake.
I'm working on my Halloween haunt, and I made a wasteful mistake with the materials when I chose to make wall flats... that mistake cost me over $300 bucks to recover from. I can't return the other materials because I already cut and painted them, now what?? But I think I figured it out, a way to use those otherwise useless material to solving another problem in my build. If it works, then it's a win-win.
Either way, like you said, you have experience, now you have a new method for storing things around the pole and I learned how NOT to build a wall flat, but, on the plus side, I've learned more how to think outside the box and recover from mistakes.
Very clever solution to a problem that most people probably have.
That's a great use of dead space~!! Another killer demonstration of your creativity. Still trying to find mine. Thanks for sharing this~!
Very nice work! You could 3d print or or laser cut some parts to drop in the insides of the circles to prevent the shifting too
Connect the two halves of your platform like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Vertical placement = lateral stability.
How about semicircles with magnets to hold the cans? You can put them on any surface, even the ceiling if it's not too high to reach. It doesn't even have to be a semicircle, anything that stops the cans from moving/spinning would work.
You should do a super compilation of your bloopers. Would make for a hilarious afternoon!
Almost makes me wish I had a pole out in the barn to put something like this on. Could be able to adapt for other things...spray adhesives, lubricants, etc.
Other benefit to them being circles and not squares, no corners to inevitably hurt yourself on
Great project and thought exercise!
Another awesome tutorial Bob, great ingenuity on the use of the laser & 3d printer to make a useful project.
👍🏻🇦🇺
Perhaps add magnets on the black printed parts, or maybe an additional part on the back, to secure them but still are easy to remove
Another great project, Bob. Videos are always better when it’s something interesting to the person making it. Looking forward to more of these.
Here's a challenge
Make a door stopper that is mechanical, from the simplest cheapest material available (preferably PVC pipe).
- The door should stop once thrown at the stopper with reasonable force like you always do.
- The door should not close when pulled.
- The door should remain open until you released it from the closer by the simplest method (single press or touch)
No Magnets
No 3D printing
A spring could be used
Closer should last at least a year with constant daily use
you can make it a challenge for your viewers as well
Show your best
Good luck
Forst of all, really nice creative storage solution. And second, I really like the underlying message you explain in the end! Maken stuff so much more worthwhile to think that way!
I would have likely put something like a thrust bearing in the tops of the 3d prints so that there was less friction when spinning the pieces. Also probably would have made the guard pieces a little bit higher to try to mitigate disaster when the cans/pole gets bumped while moving something in the workshop. Great overall solution though. Thanks for the video Bob :)
U might just print a bushing to remove the slack between the pole and shelf! Great video and idea! 👏🏻
I honestly expected a wall system that stored the cans horizontally so only the caps were visible. Sure, it would be hard distinguishing between all of the grey spray cans, but what a video backdrop that would create
instead of the screws, you could make the laser cut with a jig-saw like pattern, so the 2 halves "fit" togheter by just fitting (instead of the 2 small semi-circles). No screws, tight fit and you can still remove them if you need to.
I heard you talk about this in the podcast and I think it is a great idea! Great job and great video!
This is a neat solution to a boring problem. I used the boring solution: Stick them in a pre-bought cabinet that I already had. Now I have too many for that cabinet. I don't have any poles to work around, but I'll come up with something when I get to organizing the garage after seeing what has and hasn't been working for me over the years.
9:02 I knew this was going to be a problem. 😂 Maybe we both need to learn graffiti art.
Keep the weird and interesting projects coming! Always been a fan Bob!
Awesome solution!
I love it but living in an apartment I don't have any lally columns to use. I like the lazy Susan idea I have build or modified them for other hobby work. I use rattle cans all the time and I store them in storage crates stacked on top of another. Makes searching for a color a bit of work especially if it's in the bottom crate. Shelving is out no room for that either. I have a small shed that I am hoping to store my paint some how where it's easy to get to. I might be able to add some sort of column there in a corner.
with the space between the poles and the can, i suspect you could print a carrier for ball bearings you cut in half. yes they would be clicky but it would probably spin well enough.
Do things with purpose. Make it count. Good point!!
Keep them coming Bob! 😁
