Here is how I go about building new tool storage cabinets under a stair case. I'm calling it Tool Tansu because its similar to a traditional Japanese Kaidan Tansu.

Don’t know if or when you will see this. I enjoy your videos on the Tool Tansu you talk about putting screws further in from the end and side to stop blowout. Being 73yrs old I learnt long time ago to insert wall plug into the wood, MDF or what ever you are using, but you have to make sure the two slots in the raw plugs face the thickest part or wood, so when they open out they will push against the widest part not the thinnest part. Then you can put screws in without the problem of blow out, but make sure raw plugs only have two slits not four and some do. Chris Old English Man

One thing I've discovered for someone with a smaller shop is that everything should be in a drawer, and if possible, an overlay drawer, or if in a cabinet, a cabinet with a door, rather than just stuff on shelves. It will GREATLY reduce your cleanup, as sawdust will always find the nearest open horizontal surface to cling to.

Your videos are great and full of detail! I really like how we can see your cabinet making experience even in your shop pieces. Most KZfaqrs don't seem to have the experience, so all of their builds are just DIY level. I'm looking to start a cabinet business when I get out of the Navy and would love to see a shop tour explaining your tools and workflow. Also, I'd love to see some more videos of customer jobs (like a kitchen, bathroom, or closet build). I know videos could be taxing on your workflow and profitability, but your videos are awesome and inspiring and informative for me (and probably others on here) interested in cabinetmaking. Thanks!

Thank you Matt. I will give some thought to what you have requested. I am currently mid build on a small customer job and I will make a video for this one. Anything that is bigger than what I am working on, filming just slows me down too much. I really hope that as the channel grows I will be able to dedicate more time to filming larger projects, and offer more detailed longer videos, but right now I just can't afford the time. Thank you very much for your comment.

Love all your videos, Mike. Have been binge watching for the past couple of days in my free time. I appreciate your teaching style and openness with technique and rationale. I am a professional carpenter, and business has been great but I am a beginner in all honesty. Always learning and seeking to improve my skills. Yours is probably the best channel I've come across for learning various aspects of the trade. I am an unapologetic perfectionist, but this work is humbling and my mistakes in every project are like neon signs shining so brightly that I can't believe my clients don't immediately see them and throw me out of their houses. But I press on to improve and learn every day. Seeing your set up and your workflow is simultaneously inspiring and deflating. I got a rather late start in the business and I wonder how I would ever get to your level of organization and understanding of the scope of my projects. But I'm in the middle of the sea and the only way home is to swim, so I swim. I would love to hear you describe your beginnings and how you learned, including the various shops you've inhabited through the years and your accumulation of tools, especially the evolutionary order of the main tools, from the tools you started with to the tools you have today. I know that was wordy, but I've thought this throughout all of your videos. It'd be really cool if that happened, but if not I will happily watch whatever videos you put out with rapt attention. For what it's worth, this is the longest comment I've ever written on a video in the history of the internet. Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos; I can't tell you how helpful they are.

Thank you very much. I am working on a shop tour video. In it I will answer several of your questions. The long and short of it is, its not easy, I had very crummy tools for years, but with each job or two, I try to invest in another tool. As the years go by it gets easier. Honestly, try not to be too hard on yourself for mistakes and keep at it. This is not an easy way to make a living, but its certainly fun and fulfilling.

Great work. It's a joy to see the entire process from design to production and then installation to utilization. The stairs are really cool. Very elegant. I'd love to see a video where you discussed building and designing them. They would need the addition of risers to comply with code in my neck of the woods, but I find the cleanliness of this design, without the common stringer, so appealing. Thanks!
@MikeFarrington
@MikeFarrington 6 жыл бұрын
Thank you Aaron. The stairs would not meet residential code in my area, but in the shop, up to a storage area, I'm gonna sign off as OK... Really simple build, I mortised the treads into the stringers and clamped each one up with a bunch of glue and two screws. The hardest part were the angles and calculating the rise. Honestly, I wouldn't feel comfortable going into too much more detail because I'm not a stair guy and I don't want to give out bad advise. Already enough of that on KZfaq.

Residential code calls for 3 stringers for a set of stairs. I was looking into the option on the tansu staircase for the tiny home my friend is building for his daughter. I suggested a mortise ladder built similarly to your stairs but they want a bulldog to be able to walk up to the loft.

That Blum guide is really nice. As a low-budget woodworker I might build something equivalent out of plywood for next time I need to install drawers. Probably won't be adjustable but it should accomplish the same goal.

AMAZING AWESOME! I wandered around to lookup for some other info, and different projects, I was surprised to see some people with a lot of talent, but their videos are just that, to showcase their talent, yours are very different, so much information is offered in your videos, compared to the other ones, and the format you use is pretty much the best I have seen on KZfaq, I think that the best compliment I can give you is "you made me work much better than before! And finally understand the technical part when you explain what you do and WHY!". Love your jokes too, now my wife refers to you as Mr. Perfect (lollll).

Wow, such a nice comment. Thank you so much. Your comment is the reason why I do my videos they way I do. I watched a ton of KZfaq videos and had the same thoughts you did. Most videos left me wanting more info. To your point about WHY, I'm hoping to explore this topic more in videos to come. The why is never talked about in any sort of meaningful manner. I certainly don't have the answer, but maybe just talking about it could be useful. Please have your wife call mine, in this house I couldn't be further from Mr Perfect. :)

My wife says "that's cute", but she meant you are Mr. Perfection in your shop, in the house she can't judge...lolll! She is also asking what is the dimensions of your shop (length X width), although I tell her it might be looking bigger with a wide angle lens on a camera? I see that you never measure where you put the rails in the cabinet nor on the drawers is there a trick or a rule of thumb on by the size of the drawer, the rail goes 'x' inches down or up in the cabinet? And it goes Y up or down on the drawer?? Thanks.

Thank you. My shop is 50 x more than 50. Thats the closest I have measured. Regarding the drawers, everything is referenced off the bottom of the drawer. So the spacer used to position the Blum jig on the cabinet represents the very bottom of the drawer box, and when installing the slide to the drawer box it is referenced off the bottom. I do that to keep the math to a minimum.

@@MikeFarrington Dude, you crack me up. Your narration is like a stream of consciousness from the hours you spend on these projects. You only need about 43% of your brain at any given moment for most projects, so the remaining brain power is spent pondering the lyrics to a song or how you are 1/16th European, and thus it is both ethnically and ethically appropriate for you to use European fasteners-you are not hijacking anyone’s heritage. Great stuff! These are the internal dialogs we woodworkers have with ourselves as we spend hours in our shops. Through Mike’s videos, we get to hear the internal dialog of his brain! Combine enough coffee and sawdust, and this is what it sounds like.

Thank you. I'm not sure I totally agree. The hinges are designed to open and close doors, how they are applied is up to the builder. In this case I added a Euro stop by fast cap to stop the doors in the correct location.

One of the only people I watch on KZfaq that gets my full attention everytime. This was a great build and a good use of the space. The only bit I couldn't live with was the finish height of the drawers was different. I would had to have lined them up so they were the same height. That is just me thou and doesn't detract from the great build.
@MikeFarrington
@MikeFarrington 6 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much Jason. That is very kind to say. I agree, I probably should have done that. The reason I missed that was I designed each cabinet separate and I just measured and adjusted based on the tools I wanted in the drawers. After that I didn't check the two cabinets to each other. Its funny they ended up so close...

You also have to remember that its shop furniture and although the quality of them is high, they are just practical solutions and are not actually supposed to be finished furniture for your home. The fact they look good is just the added bonus really :)
