Whatever trouble the dividers gave you was only because the universe had to equal out time for that smart drawer building solution! Really clever!

lol.... kind of a "ying and yang" thang? A "no good deed goes unpunished" punishment? See where I'm going with this? I can't believe I actually took it to that level... now I'm gonna fall for sure.... lol

This is such a great way to make a lot of small drawers! I’ve seen lots of videos of people making similar drawers and thought it looked so tedious that just buying one of the plastic sets was a much better idea. But this looks like it can be knocked out very quickly.

Beginner woodworker here, I absolutely enjoy watching your videos. I think I have watch every single one at least once! Thank you so much for posting them, I can't imagine how long you put into them thanks again. Oh yeah I'm starting our on my dad's old shop smith mark VII, so much fun!

I originally watched this video back in 2014 when you first published it. Watching it again today was like for the first time. And i watched it twice because I love how you made the 16 drawers. It just amazes me. I totally have to try that.

@andyLeer 9 жыл бұрын

Awesome project....makes you think about efficiency. A note on the little bits, LOVE THEM. I work for TechShop in Pittsburgh, PA and we have 10 sets of them we use for events and I tinker with on occasion. Definitely the best way to take the edge off of starting an electronics hobby. I'd love to see more wood working projects that include an electronic aspect.

Steve, keep making these videos. I love ur style. Everything is explained. And you make these fun to watch.

@DannyDangerOz 6 жыл бұрын

I loved this, Steve! Been watching you videos for ages, but I think this is my fav. The way you worked out cutting the fronts and backs of the drawers, all the adaptations and problem solving, and the fact that you show your mistakes and how you rectify them is gold. Plus I like that you say, "Oh you can probably work out a better way." Love your lack of ego! And things like using the playing cards as spacers - genius! Most people have playing cards so it's something everyone can do. Loved seeing the TARDIS in the background, and loved your 'why buy one when you can build your own at twice the price" comment. Yes they can be bought cheaper, but the experience can't. Building something like this teaches the builder new skills and tricks and how to overcome mistakes - can't put a price on that. Thanks for sharing your joy of wood-working - you're an inspiration!

Most videos, I end up speeding it up to 1.5 or even 2, so they "get on with it" but yours are so full of info and features that I actually considered slowing it to half speed.

That was one of the main reasons I sold my Craftsman job saw and upgraded to my Ridgid R4512. Not only 100% more accurate, but the arbor could now accept the my full 7/8" dado stack. The job saw could only do a 1/4" dado stack.

Steve. Clamp the spacer block to your fence, to the rear of the blade. No need to keep placing it down and then removing it from the table. Just butt the drawer 'stack' to the block and hold tight while you cut. Much quicker. HTH. Made my version of one of these drawer units last week. It fell to pieces yesterday! :)

Another great video. I also love the ***** My local makerspace in St. Louis, Missouri, Arch Reactor, was gifted several sets over a year ago. We have been demonstrating them at events, such as First Fridays at the St. Louis Science Center and in classrooms in the St. Louis Area. Lately, a member has added several more of the specialty kits and bits to our collection. Kids love to play with them and are learning without even realizing it. While the kids are learning, our members are talking to their parents about what they could make at our makerspace.

Loved it! I never would have thought to make the drawers that way. For the slots on the dividers, if you were to stand the boards on edge and raise the blade to the depth of the slot then you could use the same key method that you used cutting the dadoes for the drawers.

I think you should have glued an index strip down again for the slots in the dividers, and even cut slots where you were going to cut it apart into sections later. You would have one long board with evenly spaced half-slots. Then you cut them apart in the middle of the appropriate half-slot, and you have little tounges left to go in the case sides.
