Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Nice job both for fit and finish.

I have no idea what I just watched, but it sure was enjoyable and better then anything currently on TV. Thanks!

[tonycurtiss]

Your passion for perfection is always appreciated!
Thanks for tip on storing shakers upside down, new one for me. Always cleaned tips that way but never stored that way...👍

[CCCfeinman]

Very nicely done. Everything you do is nicely finished and very well made.
You are a constant source of inspiration to me, more because of the variety of skills and techniques you employ, than by the project the projects are always well worth the look.
Thank you!

Love the dowel to locate the ball jig :-)

[TheRogermursick]

Fascinating! There is a lot going on here. I have the skill to tackle a project like this but what I'm amazed by is the thought process of what is needed before hand and how to assemble it all. VERY COOL INDEED.

[mikecalhoun]

Serious OverKIll, but I would expect nothing less from you. Very nice problem solving and execution of your plan as will as attention to the finest detail.

[hardnox]

Great idea and beautifully explained and executed. Thanks for sharing.

[GregsGarage]

I like this project! High ceilings make for all kinds of cool storage opportunities.

I don't think I'll ever have so many flex ducts that I need to store them this way, but it's a neat solution. Thanks for the tip on storing rattle can paint, too. I came here after seeing the exchange between you and Stumpy, stayed for the ductile dalliance, and subscribed so I could see all of the making magic happen. I enjoy watching you both and look forward to a possible future collaboration video between you two. I'm thinking something akin to a tractor pull, but with dust collectors. Now that would really suck. Hmmm... Where's ol Don King when you need him?

Be well, sir, and keep up the great videos!

Elegant solution to a mundane problem. Beautiful work. You are probably good at chess since you seem to think four moves ahead. My garage is 10 feet high and half the space is up there. I have to start thinking about how I can use the top of the big box and not just the bottom.

When one is hanging things above their head in the shop, overkill is a good thing. (I have the lumps on my head to prove it.) Nicely done!

[johnwente]

I find it interesting that many woodworkers spend as much or more time making jigs, storage systems, tool tables, work benches, assembly tables, etc. as the do making actual projects for use somewhere other than the shop. That isn't criticism, just an observation. I think your designs are ingenious and I very much enjoy watching your videos.
One more comment: For anyone without the tools or skills to make this rack out of metal, I think it could easily be made of wood.

[mattbowers]

Ducts in a row, lmao! Nice work Matt!

[WisconsinWanderer]

You never fail to keep me engaged and that’s not an easy thing to do😂 thanks

[MrRadtech]

Your sub #s should be near a million

[lennybivona]

I always watch, and always Learn!!! Thanks.

Truly is Next Level Carpentry....excellent!

May I hand you the German engineering award? This is what I would probably have ended up with when tasked to design such a rack. OTOH, lacking all that wonderful machinery I'd tied a wire around the hoses' ends, make a loop and hang it on the wardrobe.

A suggestion: Climbing the ladder is a good exercise. But to make it easier you could design a pole with a fork on its end. This grabs or places the ball in the holder. Avoids the ladder. Cheers, Manfred
