DIY Heavy Duty Drop-Bottom Bins for the Workshop! | Shop Made Tools
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ค. 2024
- We’re building our very own heavy-duty drop-bottom bins for the workshop! In classic Kurtis fashion there’s no fancy blueprints, just full-on workshop ingenuity and over the top fabrication, so these bins are definitely going to handle anything we throw at them or in them! We'll take you through the entire process, from weld tacking the sheets together to machining the parts for the locking mechanism. And of course, no project is complete without some drilling, pressing and a seriously good welding session! Once they're all welded up, we'll give them a fresh coat paint but the real test comes when we load one of these bad boys up with 300kg of metal chips and... well, you'll just have to watch the video to see how it holds up! So, ditch the dustpan and get ready to build some seriously awesome bins with this DIY workshop project!
In this video we are using:
- WIA 500i Weldmatic Welder
- Hafco TM-1740G Centre lathe
- MetalMaster HPM-150T Hydralic Press
- RadiusMaster RM-48 Pedestal belt grinder

wishing you kids a wonderful weekend....starting to get cool yet.....best wishes from that other Sunshine State, Paulie
Two words… whoop whoop!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Okay - there is one thing that I would suggest as an improvement on this - a bevel? I think on the locking mechanism - so that when you shut the bin and the lock is in the closed position, it wants to Lock - like a Gate latch. Hopefully I am explaining it correctly.
so how many Bananas can you fit in the bins ? I was think of some kind of rope too hook to the bin so you could pull the dump latch while sitting on the lift ?? but that might just get in the way .. great job on building them bins ..
2 things is better over kill than not enough over kill and where's the welding cap from ic weld lol keep up the awesome content y'all hope ur weekend is going awesome be safe and cheers from California:)
I love the fact that even the bins in the workshop have to be dead-on square, the sign of proper craftsmanship, I would expect nothing less from Kurtis.
I have OCD; when I make stuff everything has to be plumb, square, aligned properly, consistant tolerances etc.. I wonder if Curtis is OCDish?
@@BrewPub "CDO Adjacent" (with the letters in the proper, alphabetical, order ...as they should be! 😃)
Seeing Kurtis pull off these projects without ever creating a napkin sketch is very impressive.
Plus bullet proof heavy duty!
@@BrewPub No.
Anyone can do it wrong.
Next time I get a paint run, I'm calling it added abrasion protection. Thanks Kurtis.
Thanks for the video, Karen.
that was funny indeed!
Thought I might have been the only one to catch that...
I just completed a simple project and have a couple of paint runs. Now, thanks to Kurtis, they are added abrasion protection! So much to learn from these great videos! Thanks to both of you for the great work and skills.
I used to say “Rubs don’t rust”.
Kurtis, you’re a student of your craft and a master of your profession! Karen, you have Hollywood quality videography and editing talent!
She has the gift of gab. The video descriptions are legendary.
And the cutting edge engineering... speaks for itself.
You just created a product that A LOT of companies can use. Not just a machine shop! What a great way to show an inventive product!!
i thought it can be a product, too.
Not a novel idea, they sell these already.
Sat at my kitchen table....pretty much a full english breakfast in front of me, a nice cup of tea and watching this on the telly....dont think it can get much better than this.....
livin' the dream mate!
oi! innit!
Can't get more Bri'ish either! x'D
I'm in New Zealand, so it's whisky or wine!
@@wwfeatherston for breakfast? country of alchies!!
It's workshop stuff like this that people often don't think about that are so important.
these are definitely making the best difference in the workshop already!
628 pounds of swarf???!!!
@@user-us5eh3xl1z
That’s a lot of stuff, thank you for translating the kilos vs pounds
Are these weekend jobs ?.
@michelmcgilly yes I do believe these are after hours/ weekend jobs just like the crane project
The press arrangement for the offset handles is very clever!
That's a fantastic job I like your design. I'm 75 years old and and been welding and fabrication for probably 60 of them. It's never too old to learn.
Best channel on TH-cam bar none.
wow thanks mate we appreciate it!
Excellent for sure but I call it a dead heat between these guys and a bushcraft/fishing/camping channel here in Australia that I watch as well.
Both Aussie products so I don't mind sharing the love.
ThisOldTony would like a word lol
Def the best channel. I follow probably 100 people and watch 20 30 regularly and this is the one channel I wish I had more of
I've just sat and watched a guy make bins for nearly an hour. Seriously, how do you do it? No matter what you are making, the videos are always awesome.
This is what I watch every Friday morning having my coffee. Never dull & always different.
not to mention he makes that one hour vid seem like its only 10 mins long🤣
You have to admit, they are pretty AWESOME bins!
If you're going to watch bins, these are the watching bins...
@@Tasarran I've bin watching.
Man, I love work. I can watch it all day.
As a custodian, I am jealous of you dumpsters. Those are beautiful.
Cutting those hinges perfectly between the sections and them being perfectly symmetrical to the bin made me a happy man, love your work Kurtis, gets me through the weeks away from home!
I have such faith in Kurtis’ forklift skills that I was fully expecting him to unload the old swarf bin with a hands-free kickflip or something.
Yup, me too. I do wonder if it would be convenient to run a cable from the handle on the new one down to the bottom of the forklift rack so he can just open it by lifting it up enough to pull the cable taut.
Indeed. Watching Kurtis load work pieces into the machines with the forklift is one of (the many) highlights of this channel.
He could add a foldable or removable bit of round bar to the release handle, so when its time to empty, just fold them out then bump it on the side of the bin :)
I say foldable or removable to avoid those "ah fuck" moments when he kicks his shins with them haha
Another wonderful video
As you lower the bin the release handle could touch the lip of the dumpster and release.
The handle would need to stick out and be inconvenient the rest of the time.
My Father was a welder and he would build projects like this at home including a stainless steel picnic table that got so hot in the Summer time that you couldn't sit on it. (but it kept all the food warm for hours.) He even welded together a steel Christmas tree for Lukens Steel In Pennsylvania where it still sits on top of the main warehouse to this day. He even built us bikes that never...ever broke, but were very heavy and very hard to pedal. Watching Kurtis make stuff like this make's me yearn for those days again.
Miss you Dad.
Great work Kurtis
Willing to bet he never paid a bean for any of his "homer" jobs either? Lol. One piece at a time my friend, just like Johnny Cash!🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG!!!! I KNOW THAT CHRISTMAS TREE!!! That was your pop!!! AWESOME
@@francisschweitzer8431 Yep. Yeah he was a talented Dad. Thanks
Not sure why, but offsetting the handles to give them more clearance to make them easier to grab is very satisfying. 👍😊
Love the outtake”done done “ then benny hill kicks in
Impeccable timing
Kurtis: "That's one done, I need to make five more"
Me: 5, 50 or 500, I don't mind. I would watch every single one of them being made.
This channel never gets boring.
Hello from West Texas. I start a good day watching Kurtis work, Karen film and Homey play. I am 81 years old and learn something new everytime I watch Kurtis on a project. Keep them coming.
Oklahoma here & only 75, I do with you on those ideas
@@dirtfarmer7472 Alabama here, only 72 and I have watched CEE since their beginning -enjoyed each and every episode and rewatched some with friends.
California here...(don't judge) and just turned 82. Fascinated by Kurtis' skills, attention to detail and the way in which he handles all sorts of very heavy items.

Мне нравится смотреть, как ты развиваешь свою мастерскую своими руками. Контейнеры для стружки могут показаться мелочью, но даже к этому вопросу ты подошёл с мастерством и ответственностью, с которыми ты делаешь любое дело. И, конечно же, всё это очень качественно снято и смонтировано, почти всегда смотрю видео без перевода и всё понятно даже так. Спасибо за видео 👍
This is always the best shop class available. The videos with Homie and your corvids with a pretty song are frosting on the cake.
Putting the stickers on at the end was just the perfect finishing touch
I cannot imagine watching another channel making bins. Kurtis, it was a pleasure watching your ideas come to life.
I think that blue would look amazing on the franna crane
Paint runs are now called "Added Abrasion Protection". I'll have to remember that one. A good fabricator knows how to accentuate and turn a flaw into an advantage. Love it!
And here I am, thoroughly entertained by a dude making some bins. Quality viewing as always
I love watching your layout and sequencing on your projects. I'm pretty-much self taught (aside from a welding class about 50 years ago!) and I've learned a lot from my years of watching you, Kurtis. And of course, Karen is our transmission line between Kurtis' action to our screens! Thank you both, and the birds & beast as well!
Watching quite a few TH-cam videos it becomes apparent most ppl don’t understand a viewers tolerance and attention span. CEE (curtis) provides the interesting conten no doubt but the real genius behind the success of this channel,is the camera work and the editing. Hats off to the production crew who has a preternatural ability to understand the viewer. (I never need to fast forward during a CEE video)
Drop bottom bins they make the rockin world go round
😂👌
@Spacekop I see what you did there (Queen) ✌🎵🎶👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering your misses can spell a fixed , we make stuff , shell spells thankyou 4 good woman 🤫
I think you just named them! “The FBGs” - it will really help with saying “bin” too many times.
Bin of my life, don't desert me. You've got lots of swarf, and now you leave me...
What does true love look like?
"I was hoping it would fall in"
Given that that was probably the last time he was using it rather than the new bins, I've got to wonder if he would have fetched it out if it had, or just left it. I would have been quite tempted to leave it!
Those that have been a child at some point did also.
Hi Curtis, I love your videos and so does my father (he’s 82). Always amazing and always inspiring and a credit must go to your wife as the editing is brilliant and ultra professional. Your overall content keeps viewers glued as there is no nonsense and edits are to the point and keep the interest alive. I wish I lived in Oz sometimes as I would love to tour an installation such as yours. Keep up the brilliant videos and I will keep watching…. GUARANTEED.
Yay, it's the Australian with the hard yakka!!
Good morning Kurtis, Karen, Homeless, subscribers, and all the other animal denizens of the CEE workshop. Top of the day to ya.
The animals are an integral part of the joy as well, totally agree with you.
The 'Bin count' meter was priceless.
Saying the spray runs offer abrasion resistance is like leaving spatter on because it provides a gripping surface. This was one of the best vids in a while even though it wasn't as technical as the others. Thank you guys.
well, you cant argue against it. :D
The "added abrasion resistance" is a case of what we in the computer biz define as if you can't fix it feature it.
Well done Kurtis and Karen!
Thank you team
Those bins are perfect❤❤❤.
My dad used to say that anything you don't prime deserves to go in the garbage - but I think it's fair to say that some things you don't prime deserve garbage to go in them! Well done!
The mill scale is primer enough
Would still love to see a video on what happens with all your scrap. Fascinated to see how/if they separate out all the different grades of steel, aluminium, bronze etc.
Perfect!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Simple, beautiful and functional. Can't beat that.
Great design Kurtis. So much easier than the tipper bins (is there anyone who hasn't dropped the swarf bin in the recycle dumpster?) or a wheelbarrow. And no wheels that need to be replaced every 5 or 6 months! Thanks for showing us how it's done, guys. See you next week. Cheers.
Well that no-wheels approach is practical only if you have a full area overhead crane (or easy forklift access to anywhere you're going to put the bins). Still, horses for courses, it works in his workshop.
There's just something about a clean, organized workshop that makes you feelbetter about working there...
I absolutely love to watch the non-plan plan of Kurtis's genius at work! I too was a bit surprised at painting them knowing the rough life they have to look forward to, I may have just sprayed them with some rust prohibiter and gone with the raw metal look. I had to chuckle when I saw the overflowing swarf under the beds of machines... it must have turned Kurtis's OCD up to mach 6. I have always thought that shop, bins etc would be absolutely immaculate and sparkling lol. My only project at the moment is getting my vintage Thunderbird ready for summer. Thank you for another wonderful video and all of your hard work. Much love n prayers.🙏💜
Great job ! thanks for taking us along on this build
I work a grave shift in the states, and every Friday's lunch is spent watching you guys. Your editing skills continue to get better. Pet Homeless for me please =)
Beyond any doubt - the finest trash cans in all of Australia!!!
lovely almost 1 hour of Kurtis and Karen on Friday evening love you all
You can bet that if kurtis is going to make a bin it will be the best bin in Australia by far
The care and attention put into those bins is an accurate indication of the level of work from this shop.
Your imagination and engineering never fail to amaze me. 👍
That worked perfect , 100 percent improvement from the old ones
Definitely needs a Mighty Car Mods, "IN THE BIN" sticker.
One could be civic and the other Subaru. Hehehe love it.
@bmw1894 @cutting_edge_engineering consider 3 of them shipped eta hopefully next week :D
Paint runs = added abrasion protection. I'm putting that one in my back pocket for later. Thanks Kurtis!
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
I must say Kurtis, you have one very adorable puppy! He is the perfect project manager!🐶
Beautifully done, as always!!!
Kurtis, the sign of a true master is how easy you make it look. Fabulous editing as always. Love Homeless and the birds... *sounds of all panel beaters slashing their wrists*
I really love the 1970’s split screen playback. Excellent video editing Karen, well done 😊😍❤️
Those viewers that haven't shot and edited video footage may not appreciate the quality of the video but I do. Providing a balance of normal speed and increased speed footage that is pleasant to view takes some thought.
I told myself a plastic barrel would be enough for this task, then you weighed it... then i reminded myself curtis is the professional.
As always great job!
Everything about this project, from the idea to the finalisation, is an example of perfect designing.
I love the way you go out of your way to make sure everything is actually square, even when it's a shop project that is going to get battered by large lumps of heavy metal pretty quickly. 👍
Thanks for feeding my CEE addiction 👍👍
On Patreon I made the comment that these are Goldilocks bins because they are just right. Thinking more: you have got three of them - the three bears, and with their drop bottoms I think it is reasonable to call them drop bears. 🤣🤣
All the best,
Paul
Your comments are always great to read Paul and this one was one of the best 😂👍
Nice job on the custom bins. Just exactly what you needed for your requirements. Definitely better than bought ones!!
Another perfect job!
Drop-bottom bins, you make the rockin' world go 'round!
Those bins are awesome! I really enjoy these shop builds, especially when you build without a plan. Kind of like me when I get out building the little project for Dion. A lot of the time I have to design as I go.
And Karen, your editing inspires me to try to edit my videos a little better.
Take care guys, have an awesome weekend.
Hey mate, as always thanks for your support! Karen is such a perfectionist with editing and always looking to improve how she does things! She is a trooper, working hard behind the scenes to bring it all together. Appreciate your comment, keep crushing it!
Thank you for another great video. Cheers
Designer bins!!! Respect. 😊
8:27 AM here in Indiana watching Kurtis...no better way to kick off the long weekend !
Coffee, Karen, Homeless & Curtis! Good morning fea Scotland. Take care & stay safe!
Bedford UK here. What a frantastic upgrade to the shop. Lots of chips so they all have been working hard on so many other things.
excelent job!!
My first job EVER when I was 13 (back in the 70's) was sweeping and trash pickup in a truck semi-trailer repair shop. A 55 gallon drum full of old brake linings was barely possible to move, let alone empty into a dump trailer and retrieve! Sometimes I left the whole can if it fell off of the fork truck pallet funny or if it got smashed. I'd try to push them off the pallet so they landed about upside-down. Thanks for the memories. With Aloha...
Hey Kurtis
Sooo happy to see you and Karen.
Everyday we watch you with my 1 year old daughter.
Wow what a time and effort saving you'll get from those !
Curtis ....one word. Marvelous!😀
I am always picking up new ideas from YT guys like you. I've been working in and around machine shops for over 63 years, and there's always more for me to learn! That was a great way to bend the off-set handles and pretty quick and easy. Thanks Curtis!
Kurtis is so proud, this is probably one of his bucket list things.
What a great project and contruction!! 👍
Brilliant Photography.
So weird. I noticed the small tipping bin on an earlier video and wondered if that was custom. This was yesterday, and boom like magic, here you are making some new ones. Love your work.
You're a mind reader mate!
Ah, at last it's friday. Having a cold one and watching Kurtis doing his stuff. 20 degrees Celsius here in Sweden, beguinning of summer and 4 weeks of mandatory vacation comming up in july. Have a good one everybody
Four weeks mandatory vacation. Americans: 😧😥🥃
Simple, effective, home made. Good job.
Ultra satisfying build. They're no more or less than they need to be, perfect form and function which = beautiful. A great aesthetic. Plus the blue color is dope.
Like clock work!!!! Every Friday morning at 9 a.m sharp we are treated too the best engineering channels newest upload😁😁😁😁😁😁
thanks for the support mate!
@CuttingEdgeEngineering just giving the recognition where it's due...
The two of you are truly putting out some of the most educational, entertaining and down to earth content on the platform. Always happy, always humble and always loving the animals and life around you and the shop.
Kurtis is truly my biggest inspiration for learning how too machine and plan on the fly in the workshop. He teaches so much, in such an easy to understand and grasp manner, you would swear that he used too lecture engineering at a university.
Added abrasion protection,that’s a good one
Outstanding. Great build.
Absolutely amazing work to both of you!
Those tipper bins you had wheels on we had forklift tubes underneath and they didn't fall off!! Mind you they were a lot bigger!!
Drop bottom bins you make the rocking world go rooooound.
Great project and build Kurtis. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for sharing.
Excellent as always.
Clean functional design and the usual attention to detail in the build. That fork truck certainly earns it's keep - fork lift, assembly and welding bench, painting fixture and heavy haulage - you'd be lost without it!
Seeing Kurtis have his Disney Princess moments with his magpies always makes me laugh! More wonderful shop toys!
Pied butcherbirds actually (Cracticus nigrogularis). Same scientific family as Australian magpies but magpies are larger, have black undersides and walk on the ground rather than hop. Both are accomplished songbirds and quite intelligent.
The yellow sticker on your machine ("Nett hier...") is awsome, i found them all over the world in different places. tbh. i was happy when i found one "down under" in your shop.
Paint runs help with abrasion protection, love it
Hey Kurtis!
If you put a big 45° bevel on the underside of the latches, they could latch themselves onto the bosses while putting the bin down, without pulling on the levers.
And of course proper craftmanship and camera work, as always!
Love the "Added abrasion protection" 😂 I've just sat here on my lunch break watching someone make some bins and I've enjoyed every minute. Thanks!
Excellent video. I just realized that in countries with an English tradition they call those barrels "44 gallons" I knew them as 55 gallons or 200 liters. Greetings from Patagonia Argentina
Great build. Great video. Easy to watch.
Pulling of an all nighter and now breakfast with a little CEE before bed. I've been looking forward to this all week!
