First order retrievability

[Brad Collette]

Anybody see this video? 

I think this is an awesome idea.  I have the traditional tool stack which works really well for some things and poorly for others.  

I think this might make a good complement but the effort to design it in cad is probably higher than I want to take on for just one.  Would we be interested in something like this for the space?  Anybody else interested in making one for their own garage/workshop?  

If there's interest, we can collaborate.

I threw the project up here for reference.  One thing I was thinking about was making the whole thing be composed of three stacking 'crates'.  That way, it could be cut on a smaller cnc and crate configurations could be mixed and matched.

I put this comment on MakerRedux too. Would you make the tiers a bottom, middle, top, to keep the triangular shape (which is kind of nice)? What about the casters? Separate rolling chassis?

[Chad LaFarge]

Important to note: it didn’t look terribly stable in terms of lateral support. The triangular structure supports it front-to-back, but there’s little additional support for side-to-side movement. I’m a little surprised as there’s a lot of metal on that thing.

 

Not to second-guess a Myth-Buster, but I’d add a brace/strapping diagonally across the back or through it’s middle to beef it up.

 

Just sayin’.
