OHH thats sweet, will make some of these. Thanks so much for sharing!!

Physicist here (and nerd): Your glue explanation was very scientific. You had multiple instruments, a methodology, a theory, multiple prototypes, and an open data set. I'd say this puts your research quality in at least the top 50% of all scientific papers. Also, at 14 minutes, this video is around the same time it would take for me to read a paper that covered the same thing. Props for your editing job, I can see that it was agressive, but all the stuff I needed was in there - I especially loved "Take a screenshot, I'm not gonna read it off to you".

Brilliant! Gonna carve your slots down all four sides of a 4x4 scrap, then hang it from a rafter near the router table. No shelf or wall space required! Thanks for the slot measurements.

Thank you Keith -- you have actually saved my life

Not a DIY enthusiast, don't have a garage, not even a drill. Content is entertaining. Voice over soothing and interesting. Editing is good and on point. Just a touch of dry comedy and confidence. When you said "numbers" and gave the numbers, that's when I knew. Subbed.

Don’t know if anyone else hit on this. Watched this amazing smart way of solving this problem, loved it. As usual though my son,18 walks in and ask why I’m so impressed. He doesn’t really like making, anything. Watches the second half and then walks out nonchalantly says “if he put the perpendicular dados on the other face, they’d be a lot stronger!” Kids. He’s right.

So awesome! I have no idea how on earth somebody would give this video a thumbs down. I have come to the conclusion that those people either, a) accidentally stumbled on this video with no intentions of watching it, or, b) they don't innovate or use a Dremel or rotery tool of any kind. Me? I LOVE my Dremel collection and use all of my stuff as much as possible. Thank you for this amazing idea! We need more great ideas like this in the world. The part where you said "just bust out some of the columns and use that part as a tray" is when I realized this simple design was a MUST HAVE for guys like me. Fast too! Thank you!

YES, and with the shelf storage it is GOLD, thanks

You deserve the Shop Tips and Tricks of the Year Award!

Out-bloody-standing! I agree, I think it’s impossible to starve a glue joint unless you’re in a factory using an industrial press. Or you’re Matthias Wandel in your basement using some chopsticks from the local Chinese restaurant and a 2x4 you got outta the trash.

Sometimes I see a good idea and I did thank you. I appreciate the persistence and attention to detail great job. You are correct it is better to see all the bits at the same time.

Thanks for the great idea, I literally have hundreds of ¼ impact driver bits. Rather than plywood I used ¾pvc which produced 0 tearout with ½ spacing between dados. I used a 13x13 units of America piece of material. Rather than the sled I used the fence set at ½inch then snuck up on the best fit for a ¼ bit. The best part of this is you can make four passes before you have to move your fence. With that one piece I was able to make enough for my impact driver case and for a French cleat shelf for my shop.Thanks again for the great idea

Whoever invented the wheel back in the day must have felt like you did when you thought this one up. The simple solutions are always the best. Well done.

I don't own a single router/dremel bit, but I still really enjoyed the video. Well produced and edited with great pace and personality. Very well done, got me interested in something I never would have expected, through a quality video.

So simple yet so brilliant. Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE the way you put this video together. Instructive and Entertaining. Terrific job.

Brilliant! Really appreciated the narrative/process for how you got to this point.

Brilliant idea -- well done -- good dialogue; great video and lighting; excellent sound; good pacing and editing -- very well done! Thank You

Great idea! I've been a cabinet maker for 25 years and this beats all my solutions. I'll be making some soon.

Best instructable I've seen in a couple of years. Great job, man!

I know what I'm building next weekend. It will be nice to finally be able to locate the Dremel bit I need from my massive pile lol. Thanks for the video 👍

I loved the video and the calculations as well is the music, well narrated too. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Such knowledge, enthusiasm and passion. Excellent!

This is genius! I put it in the lineup for our show this week. Thanks for posting!

Great project and excellent presentation of your design evolution.

Ron sent me, and delighted he did. Thanks for the idea and your video - quirky and very enjoyable. All the best. Cheers, David.

The speed at which you could make these is just a dream!!! I wish you’d create more storage videos because I’ll watch! Someone that I think you think alike with is “Paw Paw’s Shop” seriously pls make more

Loved the job and the sometimes funny voice over. So refreshing to have someone without an irritating over excited shrilling voice.

Damn, this is my kinda craftsman, attention to detail & creative - plus nicely done video- 10/10

Great project. I’ll be making some for myself. I especially like the car clamp 👍

The most brilliant solutions seem to be the simplest. I love this idea and can't wait to try it.

This is a fantastic approach. I have several little blocks around the shop with holes drilled in them for bit storage, etc. I want to try this next.

brilliant idea , love the rubber clamps lol , great video thanks for posting from Garry in the UK

You are a f’n genius!!! Thanks been scratching my head trying to figure out a way to organize my bits.

I love the detail you put into your videos. Great work.

Unfortunately I can only like this video once. Great idea and fits in the system of storage trays. Very smart!

Fantastic idea. Thnx for sharing. I really like your "rubber clamps"

Great idea! And the add on suggestion of knocking some out to make slots. I totally agree that out of sight is out of mind. I have purchased a specific bit for a project, not get around to it for a while, forget I bought it, and buy another one. Bits are like clamps. The answer to how many you need is always "more".

Wow! Top notch... well done! Such a great idea! Your channel gives me hope. Thank you!

instead of putting the square peg in the round hole, you put the round peg in the square hole. brilliant out of the box thinking! fantastic!

I just came across your channel and very glad I did. I will definitely build this. I also like your storage rack and table saw panel slider will look into that as well. Nice touch with both empirical and metric measurements. Will from Akron, Ohio

Great inventive & effective idea. With the cabinet I plan on building for my new Rockler router table stand, I may just try this technique for storing my bits and accessory parts. Thanks! To solve your sliding layered glue-ups, I saw a video that effectively used a light sprinkling of course salt between the layers -- result, no sliding!

I like this efficiently, quick, bits organizers, thank you for sharing.

Lol. I also had made a cute little bit holder, then a second bigger one, and was only recently designing a step 3 - "the tray to rule them all". Glad I'm not the only one.

You must of thought about that for a long time. The good thing is you answered my question I been thinking about for a long time. Thank you. Great idea.

thumbs up for a great video - 2nd thumbs up for the "rubber clamps" - love it

Two thumbs up on idea, and three for video production value.... For the 1/4" bits you can make a wobble dado using your thin curf blade and a few strips of masking tape on opposite sides of the blade, under the saw flange. Bit more tear out perhaps, but not if the blade is sharp and you feed slowly enough. I know how the next half hour of my workday will be spent! Thanks!

Thoroughly impressed! Video, idea, humor, creativeness...oh and you’re a millennial. Good job!

Thanks for the video. This sort of sharing of solutions is why the EBEn's gave us the internet in the first place. Forget the glue and skip the wood. Take this to your local sheet plastic retailer and ask them about sheets of Delrin (Acetyl). Make one out of plastic and you can make a mold and sell these. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work.

Frick. En. Genius. You sir should at least be nominated for a Nobel Prize. Not joking.

Outstanding idea for bit storage - I will try this! Thank you for all the work to post this!!

Very interesting. You might however be surprised at how small the contact patch of an automobile's tire is. Brilliant idea that I'll be using for my Dremel storage. Well done!

Complimenti per la soluzione intelligente pratica ed economica !!!

Holy AWESOME project! Bitman... uh Batman. that is really cool and easy. I can't wait to give this a try.

Genius! Awesome video! Hilarious audio! Well done sir! 😎

Only one word for this - genius!!

Fantastic idea. I've got this weekend's project set up.

Excellent video. Creative, concise and enjoyable

Thanks for the video, I am going to use it. A couple of point on gluing. a) You can't starve a joint if you put glue on both surfaces. b) what happens is that with fixed dimension clamps, there is an initial squeeze. This has no time to fully expel all the glue. As time goes by, the glue squeezes out. If the initial dimension to which the you set the clamps remains, the pressure goes down, and voids can occur, and you may end up with bad joint. It depends on how much, glue; how much soaks in; gel time; how much spring there actually is in the clamps, they may adjust' etc... c) If you use vac bagging; spring clamps; weight; pneumatic bladders; the clamping pressure remains constant, or relatively so. d) A great techniques that not only optimizes pressure on the glue joint, but also stops a lot of skidding around is to take pressure up on the joint firmly at first, but not too hard. Then come back a few minutes later and tighten. How much of what when, comes with experience, but it isn't difficult to do. This also allows one not to overtighten the clamps with possible adverse effects like breaking fragile parts, or denting, or skewing parts. I use it a lot on guitars. e) With yellow, and hide glues, if not epoxies, and polyU glues, one does not need any clamping pressure at all. I use rubbed joints on guitar part, and not only do they not require clamps, but the joints seem less visible than with other methods. I have to carefully mark the parts because the joint can so completely disappear that I can't find it if the boards are flat, and the ends are unremarkable. That doesn't really make sense, but it keeps happening.

That's a brilliant idea regardless of how you came up with the spacing and dado widths.

That is just the most clever thing I have ever see on You Tube.

I particularly like the concept of using dado cuts rather than drilling holes because when I drilled my bit holder board the bit and the hole were almost the same size and my non-moisture proofed shop rust locked the bits in the holes which were a tight fit anyway.

Thanks for showing your design work on the spacing. This is a smart solution I never liked using the Dremel kit box in the shop.

Great, great, great video!!! thank you so much!!! great technique, awesome, editing, music and voice quality was great. honestly i loved this thank you!

Entertaining, educating, and funny. Good job thinking outside the sorting tray.

Great video, I laughed so hard on the rubber clamp part. Well timed.

Very well done. Thorough, great camera work, some humor ... Thanks!

Awesome for Endmills and Drill bits too! Thanks a Million!

Great video! Informative and entertaining. I'm going to sneak off to the shop to make some of these for my wife's out-of-control Dremel bit collection. :)

Very slick idea, and certainly quicker than a bunch of time with a drill press. For the clamping pressure of your rubber clamps, it's going to be equal to the tire pressure over the contact patch of the tire.

This is awesome. I think I'm going to start working on this tonight.

At first I didn’t like ur idea, but wen I saw u storing them on the shelves I thought that was really cool, n then all of a sudden ur deemed not storing idea made sense, worthy of admiration

Great and simple solution! You deserve an award!

What a great idea. Thank you for sharing. My workshop will improve!

WOW! Amazing idea! Thank you. Now I need to go buy a Dado set. God Bless.

Excellent video and design, thanks for posting. I just found the perfect use for those 2x10 Ipe off cuts I have sitting around from a recent deck build.

Nice project. Great video work too. Thank you sir.

Cool idea, and I really liked the outro music, Nice choice.

Wow.. space saving AWEsomeness !! Really like that !

I am sold! Tomorrow morning! so sweet! I will have happy bits!

Wow. Great idea and I am impressed. I am a watchmaker and I have more little bits and drills than you can shake a stick at. I am not sure how I will end up using this but I will. I am looking forward to a bit more organization thanks to you.

So simply it's genius! Love it!

This was truly a great video. Great way to soothe a monday morning.

Simplicity personified. Plus easier to align spacing than drilling holes. I need a lid though as I would dump those buggers over, repeatedly. On the to do list now👍🏻😎

I have a TINY workshop, and everything I use is Dremel powered, so I need compact storage and this is perfect. Now to figure out how to make the dadoes with my Dremel tool :)

Very clever. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!

Add epoxy into channels. Just tape up sides; break off one square to act as a reservoir; flood till 1/ 8" or more in channels. Great video: info, presentation, & production (even with earthquake cam)! For clamping large surfaces: look for the theory on clamping chauls to understand the physics.

I used this idea to make several trays for 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2" shank bits and I adapted the idea to hold onto the bases of 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2"-drive socket extensions. I made my trays out of scraps of dimensional lumber from the big-box store that had been sitting around my shop for a while. I have a couple of things to add. If using pieces of solid wood, make all the crosscut grooves first to reduce the amount of tearout and missing squares. I found the spacing in the video for the 1/8" and 1/4" holders to be a bit to small when using softwood. Keith's spacing figures obviously work well with quality plywood and probably work with hardwood as well. For those that want to customize the groove widths for bits and bobs of some other diameter, the groove widths are easy to figure out with this equation: Groove_width = diameter_of_object / sqrt(2) (maybe add a tenth of a mm or a couple thousandths of an inch for wiggle room)

So useful, innovative and a great video to boot! thanks

Really cool! And the video itself is awesome to watch. Excellent story telling! thank :)

The best idea input this month :) I will make this, but will try it with endgrain laminations. Thanks for the video.

Brilliant solution.

Amazing idea. I particularly like that they can be stored away as pull out shelves. Sub'd.

Thanks. This is brilliant and the proof's in the pudding...or the fact that I or anyone i know has ever seen this before. Plus the additional bonus that with this nothing has a dedicated spot. So you can return a bit, disc or whatever ANYWHERE there's an opening. AWESOME JOB and thanks again for sharing it. 👍🏾

Very cool! I just spent an hour drilling holes in a block to hold my forstner bits. I'm binning it!

Great concept. I will be copying. Have never seen your channel before but now subscribed and being notified.

This video is so well made!

brilliant and simple... those are the best ideas!!!

Somebody probably already pointed this out so excuse the repeat post: Divide the shaft diameter by the square root of 2 → that will be the minimum kerf width. So 1/2" uses 3/8" cut, .25 uses 3/16" and so on. I have some 8mm router bits for an old European router which would use a kerf larger than (8/25.4)/√2 = .223", say 1/4"....and so on. This is a really good idea and I thank Keith for posting it.

For that great Idea, you should get an Oscar!
