This is Part 2 of the shop storage video series. In this video, I make all the drawers for the drawer boxes that I made in the previous video. I had designed the boxes to have 18 slots for 18 drawers. That way I could have single height, double height, and triple height drawers that would space evenly within the cabinets. I ended up not making the triple height drawers as they seemed too tall once I got into making the drawers. The single height drawers are for small things like screws and bolts and nuts. I have made those with a grid of dividers that make up 8 cubbies within the drawer. I made the drawers in varying arrangements of cubbies from all 8 to just one single space. The double height drawers are just a simple box.

@doggfitt the ladder is on the ground. then you have the weight on the floor. the rails are there for guiding. and you don't have to attach the rails to the cabinets. 😃.

WOW. Just WOW. That is an impressive project. I really like your disk sander. When I was a machinist apprentice 40 years ago, we had a big disk sander like that in the shop. One day I had some small metal pieces to sand. Since they were small they would get hot rather quickly, so I decided to hold them with a shop towel; one of those red ones. As I was sanding, a corner of the shop towel would flutter in the breeze a little and suddenly got caught between the disk and the table. Luckily it jerked the shop towel out of my hand rather than pulling my had into the sander. There was a loud explosion and little red snowflakes filled the air. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Don't ever hold parts with a rag or wear gloves when using that disk sander. :-/

@cbarnettcti123 4 жыл бұрын

When you want to hang something long that has a hole in the end (like a T-square or a yardstick) use a straight rod that is put in at a slight upward angle. This will make it much easier to take the items on and off. I use a hook like the one you used, but I straighten the end so it has no bend in it.

@doggfite 4 жыл бұрын

I've always just used wood screws that have the longer section of smooth shank towards the head (I'm sure those have a specific name Im not aware of). Don't have to worry about an angle or anything, just drive it in until none of the threads are visible and the flared head keeps anything from jumping off.

@jeremyspecce 4 жыл бұрын

Doggfite 👍🏻if you use a longer trim head screw (like 3") it will usually have a pretty good unthreaded shoulder and the head will be small enough to get through the hole on most things while still providing a little stop to keep things from falling off. If you need the smooth shoulder but don't have the depth for the long screw you can always drive it as deep as you need and clip off whatever sticks out the back.

Hands always well away from the rotating blade 3. A push stick is used to get the timber past the rotating blade. These are professional safety techniques for people who want to keep their fingers attached to their hands. Frank you are a real pro, thanks for showing us how.

WOW that is some beautiful project. I made a similar type drawer but I used the plastic bins that are available for the Lista and Vidmar cabinet drawers. These are handy (and a LOT less work) because they can be removed and shuffled if necessary. Never bothered to do the math but I learn something new every day! 6mm = 0.23622 in, ¼ in plywood is really 7/32 in or 0.21875in. The almost 0.02 inch difference doesn’t seem like much but when cutting dados, looking for stiffness, or thinking your project can mix the materials it does make a difference. Fantastic work and amazing videography thanks.

Hey Frank love the project. An Idea for you that I do with my screws...cut the top off the box when you buy them and and park it on the outside of the drawer. That way you will know who makes the screw and the size of it and where you can go to refill the supply. I love the idea and it helps me a lot. when I go to the store sometimes I just take inventory or keep a running list of hardware I need so I can restock efficiently.
