  1. More than any other channel, yours makes me want to get out to my shop and… ahem, make something. Excellent video; I like the change of pace on the music.

  2. I’d add small magnets to the 4 corners of the lid to help hold it down, but still keeping it easily removable.

    1. I would probably have just left the back open so the top didn’t have to come off at all. Nobody would see the back.

    2. Was going to say the same thing. Don’t think that @johndoe6032 uggestion would bea better onecables might risc falling out at the back if it’s just open. There will also be more dust getting in even though having a lid on will still lower the amount, an open back will be worse. He could also have used hinges on the lid.

  3. LOVE the idea of it replacing the faceplate and screwing directly to the outlet box. For the lid: try some magnets on the underside. It will hold the lid down but still allow you to easily access the compartment inside. Cool concept!

  4. Love these videos, where you find solutions to common problems. Also fun to see your process and the end product turned out great!

  5. That lounge music has been the most relaxing part of my morning along with the sweet sounds of a table saw in the background. Great build, I love how you have consistently bring style and beauty to the mundane

  6. I am glad that I am not the only one that has barely knicked their mitre gauge and set off their sawstop brake.

    Interesting and practical piece man. Well done!

  7. GREAT project David. You really do have a creative element that many of us do NOT have. It’s the little additions that made the project pop! !! !!! Carpe Diem

  8. I said this in an earlier “new style” video. I love the Customize Everything approach you’re going with!
    You have a great creative mind, and you have great ideas and inspiration for projects most wouldn’t think to do!

  9. Always been a fan, but your videos lately have been spectacular. Love the direction you’re going in.

  10. Wally, for the win! David, it is great to see your creative, artistic thought process in the videos! Rule #4 should help us all remember that we can do projects again and improve them if we want to. Thanks for sharing!

    The only time I set off my sawstop was the same type of cut and trigger dang miter cuts! But I am still glad I have all my fingers

  11. Very cool idea, please keep iterating on it!!! 🙂 Also a small tip that might be helpful in your process with a SawStop that I’ve had to employ to not accidentally trigger the safety system. Anytime I bring out the miter gauge and fence, after setting everything up for the cut and before making a cut, I run the fence all the way along the track past the blade to make sure it doesn’t touch it! Also you can check the lights on the control unit while doing this to see if they start blinking, meaning it’s detecting something that would set the system of if the blade was spinning. Great stuff sir!!!

  12. I love this kind of project! I make little tool and supply holders in support of my ship model hobby, so this one really resonated. Really liked the music too.

  13. Ever since I got a 3D printer I have been adding it to wood working projects and loving the look, excited to see more of that from you!

  14. I like the light jazzy piano music. Give it a nice chill Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood feel.
    Not even lying, just as finished typing that sentence, the safety on the sawstop triggered!
    And then the jazzy piano came back and made me worry you’re going to trip the brake again.

  15. this looks a lot better than the plastic power strip container box that I got off amazon, thanks

  16. David. You have become the only woodworking related channel I regularly watch on youtube. I just love the interesting concepts you come up with, and I am so happy that you are pursuing such unique pieces of art. I love the beard, love the shop with carpet and tv windows, and love your music. 😆 I also love the podcast. Have a nice day bud.

  17. 14:45 David, I’m calling you David, I’ve been subscribed since 9:21PM October 4th, 2016, we’re on a first name basis. Anyway, I swear, this is the first time I actually listened to an ad and jumped at the oppertunity. I’m from RSA and the exchange rate usually means I can’t justify the expense of subscriptions charged in dollars. This video of yours is great and your sponsor offering a great deal is also great. Did I say great enough? Thanks!
