Gridfinity and the Icon Tool Box, Likes and Dislikes

hey everybody it's Tuesday April 11th 2023. what we're going to do is go inside the barn here and take a look at a few things first off we wanted to let Sophia know that spot is doing great um spot and the pleco you can see the pot and pleco over there but spots doing really good along with all the other fish and Sophia Andrew Megan and Lando thank you guys very much for taking care of the fish they're happy out here at the farm the other thing we're going to talk about today Emily wanted to discuss some of the things that she likes about the icon toolbox and some of the things she doesn't like and also some of the organization stuff so Emily just going to take it away icon toolbox in this awesome neon green first off are my two favorite drawers so in this big bottom drawer I'm able to have plenty of room for all my drills and a lot of extra batteries for other DeWalt tools as well because I have a lot of them that are all the battery 20 volt the drawer above that because I have so many batteries Gotta Have a good place to to charge them all so this drawer has uh seven Outlets a six Main outlets and two USB outlets and also a power switch so you can just turn the whole thing off and then I just leave it open to remind me when it's on to shut it off when I'm done but all my batteries can cords can be out of way and just can charge in here and I really like just having this all in one place easy to grab a fresh battery the other third thing that I really like is just having extra outlets and USBS and last but not least this extra cabinet that we bolted onto the main body of the the icon toolbox and so I'm able to organize a lot with these drawers and I have different different drawers that have different purposes need to kind of dust in that one is all my Craig and Dremel stuff but it kind of leads me to a couple little organizers like this that make these drawers and your icon toolbox even better this is a little grid finity 3D printed organizer and I have all these little tips for my Dremel tool here so all the Dremel stuff is nice and organized there so now for what I dislike and this goes for all tool boxes not just the icon toolbox without fail now that I have all these drawers I open the wrong one I meant to open something above to get what I'm needing so I need to do something where I'm labeling the drawers better because now I have all this room the other thing is and there I go I open the wrong drawer in this drawer we have all of our socket sets and to me these organizers that come with these sets leave a lot of wasted room and I can't read the sizes that are stamped on here very well so what we're going to do today is we're going to work on changing out these to some grid finity organizers they'll save us space and be overall a better use of our space and organization okay foreign so my brother who introduced me to gridfinity now has a 3D printer where he can print in more than one color filament so this is not one this is one of the earlier prototypes where I just sharpied the numbers so you can read them better but we now can print in more than one filament color at a time so I like that I can read this better and these save so much more space again as I was saying so one of my favorite grid finity are ones that hold the little bits because instead of having them in just a jumbled little container you can have these ones with the little hexagons that hold all of your drill bit ends and these really make me happy for organization so a little bit about gridfinity and I should know a little more about the science behind how they feel that this is the best way to organize but they have these little ridges on the back and they're all a certain size Cube so you can print gridfinity maps that these fit on and then they don't slide around when you open and close the drawer but I have these rubber mats so for now I didn't print the base gridfinity because these don't slide around too much on this so here's kind of the verdict here we went from this big ugly old plastic organizer for this one and we went down to more like this so look at all the room we saved so while Emily's over there trying to finish up organizing the gridfinity stuff without her glasses um a couple of the other things we've been working on we bought this air spool for the hose my DeWalt yellow paint that I bought is nowhere close to DeWalt yellow so what we're gonna do is go get some DeWalt yellow paint but um got that all hooked up plumbed in to the big compressor that way we're doing nail gun work or any kind of other air tools we can do that but also the nice thing is with it being there when I start building Emily's Loft office up here um that hose will reach up there the other thing um our little uh I don't know seedling Garden starting to take off looks pretty good got some peppers some tomatoes got potatoes down there um Wes came over and said we're going to have probably about a thousand potatoes if all those turn out but the thing I've been working on besides uh I don't know installing new tools is Saturday we got concrete coming out so round four concrete so I've got to start digging the Footers um and get all this stuff ready to go so we can pour concrete and finish up our angled ramps to the barn on Saturday out here at Deer Run Farm
