Using a heat sink to help set the hot glue is really clever. And your statement about priorities is so important. A great teacher once told me that engineering is the art of managing compromises.
And roughly speaking economics is said to be the subject dealing with the optimization of choice among alternatives. So what is optimal for a tray/drawers worth of part storage containers: waiting fifty-three hours for the printing of a set of two dollar new material plastic boxes or working one hour to cut fold and paste a similar set of nearly free recycled cardboard boxes - entirely up to your judgement of course (economics also considers as highly valued the user's preference).
It's all about understanding your products "requirements" and it environment it will be used in and how. Along its development, there are tradeoffs. We used to say, turning the dials, like the wizard of oz did! 🤔😅🤣👍
I'm skeptical that it is pressed for long enough for the heat to flow through corrugated cardboard and into the heatsink. Corrugated cardboard is a pretty good insulator.
I'm skeptical that the heat dissipation really does much through the 4mm of board... But I also thought that it was clever!
@@marksaus Since it's getting crushed, it won't be 4mm. But I'm still with you that it seems unlikely to make a difference in hardening time.
Jer... I could watch you fold cardboard for an entire hour. The way you think of every little detail is why you have such a loyal fan base. I bet you could make a video on how you figure out a better way to sweep the floor of your shop and we would still watch and learn something, like how do you get every last bit of dust from the corners without using a vacuum hehe 😂
I can confirm I would watch that video :D
Jer....you are a genius. Is it hard to live with yourself? 😸😻
This 👆
I was going to say something along the same lines. So much thought is put in everything he does.
@@befmx31 agreed, Sub’d & Bell’d, indebted I am. Thanks
By the way, in sewing, you often have this same situation where one piece of fabric has to be very slightly longer than the other piece. This is known as 'turn of cloth'. For example, for the collar of a coat, the upper collar piece is a little longer so it can fold over the under collar.
Jer Schmidt...a gift to the maker community and to humanity as a whole. Thanks Jer!
Brilliant!!!!
I love the pragmatic approach to use what you have while still achieving a great end result.
Your ability to do tedious tasks without going crazy is astounding. I wish I had half of your patience. I’m really glad you’re back to posting on a regular basis again. I still go back and rewatch your older videos.
A strange thing to be watching someone making small cardboard boxes on youtube. But they're cheap and useful, which resonates with me, as I am cheap and... well just cheap I guess.
Much better than watching a guy hang his coat on a wall hook! :D (I did that in the past and some people even watched - not live though). Making cardboard boxes has more social benefits, especially if they are recycled!
If you stack a bunch of layers of cardboard together you can cut them out all at once using a bandsaw and/or table saw. Just another way of doing it that I've found to work well. However, it can dull the blade a bit so use an old one.
Hadn’t thought of this, thanks!
A fine metal cutting blade would probably work pretty good.
@@Jer_Schmidt I was thinking about using my scrollsaw actually...
Wouldn’t there be a lot of tear out?
@@Killashandra111 The table saw cuts it surprisingly cleanly. I haven’t tried the bandsaw yet.
The amount of thought that went into this is amazing. Also... Very satisfying to see perfectly sized cardboard boxes being made by hand
Every ASD person watching this, absolutely LOVES what you did here!
Yes, diagnosed ASD here !
From a previous video: "...extremely precise..." Ah yes, my favourite level of precision...
Only Jer could make folding a cardboard box a fascinating example of problem solving. Excellent!
super cool, reduce, reuse, recycle. as much as i love to watch videos on 3d printed modular systems, there is something very satisfying about this. especially when you think about all the time, labour, and resources it takes to run cardboard boxes through the recycling system
It's so awesome to see new content on this channel! The belt grinder inspired tens of thousands of people around the world and I'm sure they are all eagerly watching. Thanks Jer!
You're my favorite nerd and I'm not even into wood working myself. I'm so glad you and your videos are back and I sincerely hope you are and have been doing fine!
As always, your process development and attention to detail are awe inspiring.
I was waiting for this one! I love seeing all the engineering and thought you put into this stuff.
There are several makers that are using 3d printed boxes that fit together for this kind of thing. As neat as those are, it takes hours to print a single box. I started making little boxes out of 1/4 inch plywood scraps, but even that is a bit annoying and time consuming. This is clearly the best solution, especially when i receive a box or two every week - so i always have an absurd amount of extra cardboard. EDIT: I should have watched to the end - you mention the same kind of 3d printed boxes...
I had the same thought with 3d printing, cardboard looks so much easier and quicker, but then i watched the video, theres a lot of box science going on... Maybe combine the 2 and print sheets you can fold into boxes?
@@mikejones-vd3fg I like that idea. However, when i slice a print-flat foldable box i found online (40mm cube - 1.5ish inches), it's still going to take an hour with a .8mm nozzle. For me, that seems excessive - i'm going to try the cardboard version first and see how fiddly it is before i try printing something foldable.
Love the idea of using your drill press as a light weight press - great idea. I'd love to see you tour your workshop and show a few other things you can do with each piece of machinery - that's be awesome.🤩
Wish he lived near me lol, great ideas, Love this video!!
note: I cracked the table on my small bench top drill press doing this, so the light duty part is key
The detail you go into is beautiful, thanks for sharing
Genius…simple ideas are difficult to came up to, I’ve been trying to came up with different options throughout they years to organize my random drawers… wood boxes, plastic boxes, metal boxes…. You name it, also been looking on the internet, but this is by far the simple and easy way that I SEE, BY FAR, thanks Jer, you are genius.
I worked with a packaging engineer on a couple of projects and I gotta tell you everything you've Done makes me pretty sure you've got a future in the industry. Your video is your resume.
Well, I expect he has better things to do, but nice idea anyway.
I've watched a lot of cardboard crafting videos and I'm actually impressed by the level of thought that you put into what at first seemed like such a simple box. Seriously bravo.
Your video comes at a great time for me to organise my drawers. I’m always amazed at how much thought and attention to detail you put into your projects. Thanks for the video Jer!
I appreciate and enjoy how you being resourceful and making the design more accessible to broader range of makers. Thanks for putting your thoughts into improving and simplifying the design.
Your attention to detail is mind blowing. Great video, thanks.
10/10 youtube video. Helpful and practical tips, for free and straight to the point. No music, no nonsense. Awesome stuff!
Love these builds, Jer. Great job
Awesome. Love the detail. Agree with using free items and building with your hands. Can't wait for the video on the casters to your cabinets.
So glad you're putting out videos again. Very enjoyable projects!
Great idea! I'm thinking they could even be dipped in some thinned down Shellac or Poly to seal them against humidity and make them a bit more rigid still.
That's a great idea J. I do re-purposing as much as I can and fully appreciate your approach on this issue. All the best.
You are so absolutely meticulously, precise with your design and in your execution of production; when it comes to anything you make. You inspire me.
This is absolutely genius. I love everything you do. Keep sharing your hard work and creativity with the world!!
Outstanding project. Great rainy day activity with endless customization. Thanks!
I appreciate the very thoughtful design and build process.
Really enjoyed watching you build those boxes. It's amazing how strong they are, and best of all, how perfectly they fit. My OCD was thoroughly satisfied.
What a refreshing video! Your thoughtfulness and craft are very inspiring. I appreciate how well edited your video is and how well you explained not only the process but your own thought process throughout. Honestly this is the best thing I’ve seen on KZhead in a long time. Thank you for this and sharing.
You’re awesome Jer! Your attention to detail is impressive. Your video’s and teachings are always concise. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely love your attention to detail and appreciate your free info
Glad you're back! Really enjoy your videos
Sir- I am amazed at your attention to detail. Wow!
Thanks Jer for some of the best conceived and conveyed ideas for DIY on YT. Best of luck and continued success
IMO, a very useful video. Seeing your template and the folding process is SO worthwhile. Thank you.
First time watcher. I have to say that I love how clear and concise your videos are. Right to the important parts, very logical, and easy to follow directions. Great Job!!
Really nice use of never ending supply of cardboard boxes. Thanks for sharing the plans :)
I made a couple of test already but all those little tips (like the spacer for the long flaps) are great, thank you for the inspiration and your detailed explanations.
Blown away man! Like cardboard....in the wind.... really awesome and carefully thought out
Great up cycling project! Really like your fixtures and templates. Thanks for sharing!
loving these videos about modular shop cabbinets
Good to see you back. Hope you are feeling better.
Nice touch on comparing the cardboard version to the 3D printed one, really proves how much more we can get from less expense and more resourcefulness. Great video!
Thank you for another very good video. You think out your projects in a clear, helpful way.
Jer, you never cease to amaze!
You're a MAN on a MISSION Jer, you covered all the bases...I like the cardboard 'forms' and the cost breakdown, nothing like a 'neat' box!
Wow I love the way you create those little boxes 📦 😍!
This reminds me of the saying “no solutions…..only trade offs”. Wow this is creative. Jer you are a bright guy- thanks for the vids!
Awesome idea, Jer. I saved a few old metal parts cabinets from an estate clear-out recently, but the drawer dividers were missing. Your little boxes are the perfect answer to replace them. Many thanks!
Love the precision of your creation. Lovely little boxes. Thank you for the free pdf.
I can see the amount of work and thought that went into the cutting forms and shaping molds. This is actually really impressive work. I tinker with corrugated cardboard often and it's not the easiest material to work with and retain it's strength.
I love your attention to detail! I also love cardboard as a material to work with. It's cheap, forgiving, and can be easily and accurately cut and formed. I once built a 2 meter diameter geodesic dome for my kids from cardboard hexagons and pentagons. It was fast and easy to build, and astonishingly strong.
Great to see you again! I love the video format - info + fun and NO MUSIC - and I love the little boxes. 📦📥♥️
This is one of the most useful hacks I've seen in a long time. Everyone can benefit from making these. This will change the way I shop for lunch meat now. (plastic bins)
I love boxes and making boxes, I also never could get excited about the time and effort of 3D printing them even thought I do need them to organize, so this is perfect.
Jer, I absolutely love things like this !
Brilliant man!! Even something as simple as this is so well planned and executed. Thanks for sharing.
I mean, you are just brilliant, it's a joy to watch you.
Jer, I’ve watched you work with steel, wood and now cardboard. You bring the same precision and consistency to the end product regardless of what you’re working with. I would never have imagined using cardboard in such a practical, functional way. Thanks again,
This is a great idea. I had made a box jig years ago for something at work that needed a very specific shipping container, but hadn't thought about doing similar for storage/organization...Which I can desperately use. Thank you!
So much detail here. Great work!
I really enjoyed your video. The thought process you put into creating these boxes is amazing. Thank you for all the tips and even offering a free PDF document. I'm a crafting artist and decided I want to change some of my storage, but storage containers cost a lot of money and I would rather spend money on tools and supplies and not on storage. I have an abundance of cardboard boxes that I get do to my "day job" so I wanted ideas of how to create what I need. Usually I just repurpose an existing size of box, but seeing this video is giving me some ideas as I have a laser! Thank you so very much for your contribution to the world!
I absolutely adore this low-tech way of boxing (done in a pretty smart high-techy way) Kudos & Thanks!
I love seeing young people so creative and doing things super well. greetings young man
It's really great to see you producing content again!
Nice solution & the way that you put those boxes together is very clever Jer! 👍👍👏👏
So glad to see you being able to post regular content again. :). I tremendously enjoy your videos. Even the every day (some would say mundane) stuff you create is pretty cool.
Thank you, your ingenuity and common sense is inspiring!
Loving your teaching style and your ideas also!
Genius design. That was very satisfying to watch
Cardboard is how I started building things. I still have a good amount of little boxes like yours, but my design was not as elegant. I always enjoy how thourough you are on everything you make. I believe I'm older than you but I aspire to be as good of a designer/engineer as you are. Thanks for sharing and take care!!
As always, simple but brilliant ideas. Keep up the good work, Jer
Excellent ! Keep the ideas flowing . Good work
Thanks a lot for the plans. I appreciate your generosity. Keep up your great work.
Good to see you back, Jeremy, I've missed your craftmanship and intellect!
I have made and modified more cardboard boxes than I can count in my time. The Olfa knife with the metal tip along with a straight edge is great for scoring cardboard. The wood form block for consistency of the boxes is certainly the way to go and well worth the effort. Great job with this one.
Great video. I am happy you have finally decided to make your videos in reasonably watchable lengths without the need to skip too many sections.
Please make videos until you’re well into your 90s and beyond, because they’re incredible. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic idea. I have been thinking of taking advantage of the many Amazon boxes that I have laying around. For sure the first idea was to make cardboard boxes, even make an organizer with drawers, you know some boxes are really big. But I didn't have any idea on how to build them. Thanks to your video now I can make these boxes and maybe even try to do a cardboard organizer with drawers, and inside them put these tiny boxes, something similar to those plastic ones that Walmart sells. Again, thanks for the idea!!!
Awesome, thank you for posting and especially for the plans!
Genius design and process!! thanks for sharing !!!
Wow, wowzers, wow! You are encredibly talented and your work is awesome! 😊
Oh this was so cool!! I love making things with paper and cardboard but never think about those important details like having sides ever so slightly different heights. Game changer. Thank you so much for making the video, and offering the free pdf. Consider me a fan!
Love this sort of small batch production stuff
Great Video! Thanks for all the work to share this around. You are a great American!!
Great problem solving.......you're a man after my owe heart. Beautifully executed .
I think I'm going to make one of these draw cabinets for my camper. Love the small boxes for nuts and bolts.
Proof that engineering & preparation have their purpose everywhere.
Fascinating, the details are appreciated. Thanks for posting. Many years ago I had an after-school job in a supermarket and often got to operate the checkouts. We used to leave stacks of cardboard boxes close by for customers to use to carry their groceries if they wished. One evening a chap took his time examining all the boxes before finally choosing one and beginning to pack his shopping. I made a friendly comment along the lines of "did you find the perfect box?" and it began a fascinating conversation that opened my eyes to the utility of cardboard. It turned out the fellow was an engineer whose job was designing cardboard boxes for various applications. Taking examples from the pile, he explained the various types of materials, fold patterns, and the trade-off between materials cost, design, and strength. I never viewed cardboard as boring after that.
Its a real treat to watch someone work when their brain works the way yours does.
Smart, useful, not too much chatter, wonderfully economical results. Well done.
Excellent idea Jeremy , looks like very good quality Cardboard too!
