we have two primary sets we use for our shoes one is this one except the camera further back it's the aerial shot as we call it the other one is a teardown shot where we take this table rotate it that way and it's shot in this corner where we also do live streams so presently there's a shelf here we typically have stuff on top of it but for a while now I've wanted to replace this shelf with a tool wall like the one we have behind the camera right now and so we decided to build a tool wall over here so it's gonna be I'm gonna try this this is a blue just a metal pegboard basically we're gonna try these see how they look put a couple of these up the plan is I think to make it about two here and go this way another foot or so so maybe 4 feet wide something like that and about three feet tall maybe a bit taller and it's just gonna be filled with tools we've partnered with iFixit to build the wall so I'm pretty excited about that cuz basically I said we like the stuff you guys make you've been a great advertising partner and so we're gonna build this wall do you want to fill it with tools and they said yes we would like to do that so we're gonna build it there's gonna be a couple parts but probably two primary parts where I'm gonna go through all the stuff we have that I bought most of it they sent the tools and then we'll go through the building process after that but basically the hope here is that for future tear downs I can just like turn around and grab a tool off the wall and continue going which will be nice functionally it will also make it easier for when we work in this room because we have a really limited amount of space so this room acts as the case testing as I'm like build and unbuilding room as well and that will help blot now another small thing that no one would consider is putting the tool wall up here will give us back about three inches of depth coming into the room that's not a lot of space until you realize how limited we are an extra three inches of depth like off of this wall means I might actually be able to walk through here to get back behind the table for film instead of having to walk around and duck under cables so we'll see see if it goes the way I want before that this video is brought to you by I fix it's brand new man to driver kit I fix it Mantic it is a universal repair tool kit that includes 112 steel bits redesigned from the ground up with longer necks for 4 millimetre bits allowing more precision when working on components the $60 iFixit Manta kit has everything from pentalobe drivers to why drivers and standard bits learn more at the link in the description below so long-term here's what the plan is we talked about this in one of our patreon behind-the-scenes videos somewhat recently if you're a patreon backer at patreon.com slash gamers Nexus we post some of them there but basically I was telling those guys is we're planning to this shelf right now is a mess because I mean I just took a bunch of stuff off that shelf and put it here but the plan is to fill this shelf or this one with the higher end test equipment so old o-scope we've got nice DMM as we have a bunch of like thermocouple readers fantastic Whitman we have a hundred pounds of power supply testing equipment coming in not sure if that's connect on a shelf or not and this will be filled with cool testing equipment I don't know what to put here yet I mean I'm trying to keep the video card CPUs RAM in the other room where we do all the testing so that it's close to the benches so I don't want to put those here if you have ideas I guess let me know but I don't want to be product boxes and I don't want it to be the components we use for testing because they need to be accessible and I hate product boxes and throw them away because they're a waste of space so I don't know let me know what you come up with this will be basically hi and test equipment maybe we just fill both with that that's gonna be tools so I'm hoping what I'm going for here I'm trying to maximize the space we have trying to get as much mileage as we can out of it and I'd like a set that looks like it's in an actual reasonably sized officer studio without having that and that also I'd like to have kind of a more industrial look like it's where work happens not as much of a studio look I really like that kind of almost like a tested feel Adam Savage's tested I like their layout although he's got a warehouse and millions of dollars and I have neither of those so these are roughly 16 by roughly 32 so I have six of those and there's gonna go on this wall and then for the pegboard stuff I actually add a lot of fun chopping around for this so this is why we partnered for I fix it with I fix it for this wall because I needed to buy it time to stop oh that's cool I haven't done that yet so it's a metal pegboard my other one that we use right now is just one of those crappy I don't even know what it is like a particle board that falls apart basically and the metal one will allow me to stick stuff like this on it so that's a screwdriver holder and I've not actually tried it yet where do they screwdrivers go they go between these I think we need us that'll work okay cool except we need smaller screwdrivers but anyway so that's screwdriver holder I'm gonna I'm not sure how to lay stuff out yet but I'll show you all the stuff I got I liked these these look pretty cool so my plan for these is if you separate them by color cord in it coordination color coding everything and I'm thinking like I don't know maybe like GPU typical GPU stuff and one or something like that anyway those are four bits so this is their the I fix a pro Tech tool kit which we've used on camera even when they don't sponsor us because I like it and I'm thinking we take these bit kits like this and just empty them and put all the bits in here now that one looks like it's gonna fit the larger bits better which would be in the 128 bit toolkit I don't think it's not gonna fit these so I'll have to either put the bigger bits in there that I have from there the other iFixit kit or buy a smaller one of these for these smaller bits but that's the plan for that one another option this is where you could leave a comment below let me know what you think I fix it's got these magnets on the back they're great for here I mean it's that's what it's meant for but I don't think they are strong enough to go here so one thing I'm considering is we just kind of glue right here some heavier-duty magnets the back of this and then that would allow us to if I didn't want to buy one of these except with smaller holes that would allow us to just stick this straight to the wall and have them like that vertically that'd be kind of cool so no tell me what you think about those two options so I just take all these and put it in a smaller version of this or magnets stick a magnet on it and stick that to the pegboard so that's an option these are all the pliers and stuff but there's a side and the Manta tool kit they sent this over as well this is that I fix this brand-new tool kit this is the one they wanted us to show off on the wall and elsewhere but again same thing and I'm just I'd love to just pull these fit those all fit okay cool so those will fit and I need to get is it magnetized it is magnetized all right so that's magnetized so that will stay in there even when it's vertical but we'll fill those and then this looks kind of fat for this thing I bought but I have other ones how do these fit all right got it okay so I see I see what we're gonna want for this is to put the longer nose drivers and those I think it's a longer driver straps like this or something that'll work that'll work pretty well all right so we've got all the tools we'll go through those more as I start mounting them all to the wall they show the other pegboard stuff I got I'm not sure what I want to do with colors right now I just have I was trying to go for blue white black unfortunately a lot of stuff was red so I don't know if I'll bother painting that or anything just leave it but we can mount these to the peg boards as well and the plan with these is just I mean it's just for drivers so you just put all the drivers in there what else do I have we have sort of traditional baskets for mounting to the peg boards so we've got a lot of those we have different sizes of them the larger ones I would like to use to put things like this in so we can just throw the DMM Zaandam meters in there throw a moment a thermocouple meters stuff like that so these are really useful for us for the other wall that I got a couple of bins so these these are just trays I'm planning to put like glue screws in there stuff like that so they'll mount like this and be supported underneath by the metal brackets and those just go underneath and you sit these right on top of them so I'd like those four screws four loose parts like for example when I'm working on let's just say what's a good one we're not like a GPU or something and I end up with spare screws or small parts I'm planning to have a small parts bin on the wall to help keep things organized and just throw a label on it and then if there's an active project like taking a part of GPU we can keep all this stuff in one spot so those will be helpful what else do I have rubber mallet there are a lot of times we could have used these not typically on hardware but sometimes we can use these mostly for building shelves like this right now we hit this shelf with a metal hammer with a block of wood and I have other rubber mallets but I wanted one dedicated for this space not one that's like in the garage covered in bike grease and mud and stuff so we got that brush will help clean everything on the mod Mac because the GN mod mat is super traction II it's by design so if stuff doesn't slide around so I needed something to clean out the weave and then standard just kind of pegboard parts nothing special with these so that's most of it this is actually this small thing this is kind of dumb in that I'm looking forward to it but just a dollar odd for the blue shop towel so we can throw that on and easy to access that for cleaning thermal paste which is frequent and I always have to write so here's what you have to understand right now table rotates this way I stand here if I don't have what I need on the table because I need the table space to work I have to go I have to kind of like squeeze through here with the light and walk around the camera and go get it and then come back and it takes like a minute and you do that multiple times in a video it starts to get old really fast same thing for a livestream so I'm really looking forward to having just everything there for tools I'm gonna have to fill the wall with whatever I can comp with so I fix it's basically let us pick whatever we can find on their site I might pick a few more things I don't know if we have enough to fill the whole wall but we'll see we have there they're kind of like stand-alone drivers the non-replaceable bit one so these are torques i've got a standard phillips allen key stuff like that so we have a bunch of these from them we have the new Manta toolkit the plan is to empty all these bits out into the trays or mount this tray onto the board so they sent over the this isn't branded I fix it but they sell this one this is just digital calipers throw this on the wall as well and then probably throw like I said DMMs and stuff small electronics or thermal test equipment will go on the wall so I mean it'll just be nice to have kind of a a very functional set that we use even when we're not filming so it's not wasted space and also look cool and fit the bill for what we're doing on camera if you here's what I want if you have any ideas watching all this if you have ideas about cool stuff to put on a pegboard so you maybe have some experience putting together peg boards and there are specific accessories that you really like that aren't too common there are tons of them out there so if there is some kind of for a pegboard you really like tell me what it is below and I'll go find it and buy it for this wall so I wanted to be functional and cool-looking and then if you've got other tools that you think would be a good fit obviously I know everything we need for for cheap you tear down and stuff like that but if there's other stuff that you think might be just kind of neat to have around let me know I'll see if I can pick that up and throw it on the wall as well but that's part one so now what I need to do next is basically pull down this shelf which is secured into the studs with just giant hex heads right now so we're gonna pull this out and this wall will be painted a dark like a grey basically which is the same color as the wall back there behind the old wood wall which is still up so we're gonna pull this pin it gray obviously pull these off the wall probably mount them and hopefully end up with a really cool set but we'll see let me know what ideas you have along the way and we'll try to incorporate them because there's time to do so so that's it for this one just basically behind the scenes except we're pushing it the main channel because I'm looking for your thoughts on what we can add since like I said it's early enough to integrate your thoughts as the audience and and I'd really like to see what you all want to see so that's it for this one thank you for watching subscribe for more as always go to patreon.com/scishow this kind of video and go to store like cameras nexus net to pick up the mod mat or one of our new crystal cubes and you can learn more about these on the site so I'll see you all next time
