Van box and drawer. New Table saw Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- I am making a simple Box and drawer for my pal Richard to sit under a heavy machine in his van, I am using 18mm OSB as it is super strong and easy to work with.
I am also using the new Hikoki 36v table saw for the whole job, it is very accurate and super quick and you can find out more about the saw here

God I’d love a workshop, tools and talent 😂👌🏻👍🏻
Making boxes for vans is underrated, as its pretty satisfying🤩 Cheers Robin👊
Hi Del!!
@@ukconstruction 🖐😎
Nice simple box. Could have cut some side handles in the drawer for when he lifts it out.
My thoughts as well
Theres a real beauty in the simplicity of a good honest solid box.
ahh class at the end that is exactly how mates rates works. little while ago i build some bespoke furniture and a bar for a friend i play football with. did it over a few saturdays. took my time and got exactly what he had wanted. in return he fitted lvt flooring at my house for the cost of the materials.
Nice Paul!! It is a bonus to be able to help one another!!
Love that. Favour for a favour is the cornerstone of reputation
Oh the irony of setting up a table saw right next to a socket and the thing not working for lack of power. Need to bring the charger, plug it in and wait, how convenient! 😂😂
Quality as ever a brilliant job and I am serious impressed with that Table Saw
Might knock one or two of these up for my van, nice simple project, I like those!
So nice to watch a pro do a straight-from-rough-sketch to perfect finished piece. Very nice.
Great video, please encourage everyone to wear ear defenders, as
someone who now suffers with tinnitus, I wish I had worn them when I was younger especially using tools like router and angle grinder
Hi Robin this may be a simple box and job but it's how you tackle it that's impressive. Well done from a fellow carpenter.
Thank you Jamie, it's kind of you to comment
Love this box! Gives me some ideas for organizing in my bedroom 😅
I've had the table saw for nearly 2 years, Wonderful tool really handy.
I like the idea of small projects lots to learn.👍
Great build for just a simple oblect.
Morning! Thanks Robin!
You are most welcome
I enjoyed that metabo advert😂
Very nice indeed Robin!!!👌
Sometimes it is too easy to overthink these things. Simplicity is key and this will serve him well. If he's pulling it out to carry it then maybe adding some handholds in the sides would be useful for him.
Bench joiners would knock this out in second but I do love a in-depth explanation lol 😂
Great little box all the best from OZ .Keep them coming my friend 👍🏻
Great job Robin given me ideas for draws in my van for storage
Nice build Robin !!!!!
Nicely Boxed off !! Top Drawer stuff !!.😉
Very good!!!
Heart was in my mouth watching the cross cuts with the full fence. Kickback waiting to happen. Please do a video on saw safety mate. Might save a few fingers❤
I built a similar simple bathroom cabinet (fits under the sink) with MR MDF and it works fine without expensive drawer hardware. Thanks again for such a straight forward educational video and I think you are probably delivering more practical professional training in key construction skills than most FE courses.
Nice one Robin. Amazing to watch you work, in an organised manner, as always
Suggestions:
Add 2 openings/holes on the sides of the drawer for ease of lifting out, once it has been pulled out a bit I.e. at 1/3rd (to pull) & in the centre (to lift) & both, 1/3rd from the top of the drawer, on both sides. This will prevent the box from dropping on one’s foot
Maybe even add removable partitions, inside the drawer, depending on the size/s of the tools used
Waxing the bottom will help it move more smoothly, particularly when the box is loaded & heavy
OSB may wear out. Maybe a couple of half inch, 6mm, wood strips, fixed on the bottom of the outer box (not the drawer) will do the trick. This will require a bit more work & adjustment.
Bottom of the drawer will get worn & battered, when removed & placed on work sites in a regular basis
Also an improvised stop-lock, even a wood peg to make sure that the drawer does not slide out while the van is in motion/sudden brakes
A rubber sheet on top to prevent the machine from sliding & at the bottom, to prevent the box from sliding. Additional safety!
Note:
I am not a carpenter or a DIYer. I am just a fan who is learning from you. IMO, even if it is just £30, I would like to make it work like it is £300! 😀
Thanks Robin
Awesome and everyone could give it a go themselves on that one, very useful
Very nice and simple, thanks again Robin
That router is the business had mine for about a year now mostly used doing the masons mitre
it wants a couple of strips of nylon on the underside of the drawer so it can slide in and out
Quite interesting to watch. I would still add some sliders, once the drawer is full of stuff, it might be difficult to pull.
You had to get the hoover in the video, didn't you.
Love it. Getting me thinking now "how these boxes could help me sort my life out maybe?"
Just got a van and looking for fit out ideas so this is well timed. The saw must be quiet to tolerate it without ear defenders. Also interesting to use OSB instead of ply which all helps budget wise. I know there's a promotional element with this but honestly I think you may have suckered me into buying in of these table saws. Ideal for me. Also I notice there's an outfeed rail capability to for safety ripping long pieces. WRT the drawer I think some base runners would make it so much better.
indeed not worth the trouble if its from osb it cant take a hit on the sides
I have the same Hikoki rip saw. The one odd thing I have noted is the batteries lose charge if you leave them in the machine for a day or 2. Somehow the machine is drawing charge from the battery even when not being used.
What no RC logo put on it.. like the big box little box concept!
Nice one 👍👌
I enjoyed that, nice little build mate.
Nice job Robin, quality work 👍
Thank you robin for these videos. Always learn something new when I watch your videos. Even something as simple as setting your table saw up in the same orenentaion as you chop saw so there is minimal effort / movement.
👂 protection Robin!!
:O you forgot to wear that really comfortable PPE. morning clevett videos with a cup of tea
What do you mean??? He's wearing his glasses lol
after using that router your hearing will be gone
Thanks!
Thanks mate!!! super kind!!!
Great video as ever, one for the future with your table saw: You can actually get a dado stack for it as Hikoki/Metabo HPT sell the same model in the US. Very unusual for a saw sold in the EU to have an arbor big enough, never mind a portable one! I'm sure you have the 36v transformer as well but if not worthwhile for the table saw especially.
Just hope it doesn't break, Hikoi have had mine for almost 3 months now waiting on a part for a burst motor!
I've had 2 motors go....... 😅 Still under warranty. So it's been fixed both times. Maybe I push the limits occasionally ripping timber but come on, its a table saw. I wouldn't recommend for longevity. Nice saw otherwise though.
Cracking little video + I've been looking at that table saw for ages but think it's just too big for my small van and portability. Great bit of kit though👌
Enjoying these videos but could you do more close up shots so we can see what you are tin more detail thanks
Rub some wax (candle) on the bottom of that drawer & it'll slide freely even with loads of tools in 👍
watching from NZ Robin simple no waffle many thanks
Did the OSB come from Matt Estley's workshop? We all know how much he loves OSB.
Yep!!
You are going to be lost without your lovey garden room. A nice flat empty floor, lots of natural light, tea/coffee and loo a short walk away. Is this why you are taking your time on its completion?
Well basically Trevor it's a mix of time available keeping my customers happy at work!! And also money etc!! So yep just doing as much as I can when both allow!! And your dead right about being able to work in here!! Its great, but... I am building a new double garage and workshop at home after this!!!
@@ukconstruction Hopefully a video series on that project?
Recon the table saw is trade only. Tradies are the only ones who carry cash these days to unlock plate with a coin to change the blade 😁. Is there an Apple paid version?
Interesting build as always Robin 👍🏻
might have to get one of those hikoki table saws. i cant use my 110v dewalt table saw without ear defenders. its that flipin noisy
Bruce good idea to strengthen rafters 👍
Have you giving yourself a date for moving in ?
Excellent video thanks
'The English Woodworker' on his channel has an excellent video of building a 'Clinch Nail Box'. Worth a visit
I really liked this video. Ive enjoyed all your videos, but where i am unlikely to pitch my own roof, and am very likely to make a box (thank you).
I may have missed it, but how did you ensure that the screws weren't in the path of the router when you rounded over later?
Many thanks for another lesson
My question is, if you were using the rail saw to cut the bits down rough then using the table saw to cut down precise, why wouldn’t you just use the rail saw to cut precise?? Half the cutting and work and setting up??? This is why I have never owned a table saw, buttttt!!! I really want one so why do I need it other than creating more work for myself?!?!? Serious question
Ok just finished the video and rebating is where it’s at!!! Something I usually wouldn’t do or find a way to do it without rebating
Hi Robin I really like the look of this OSB. Would this be OK to use for Door Architraves?
In the right place it may look ok I have seen it used in place of typical MDF painted architrave and it looked naff!!!! so detail with care!!
@Robin Clevett I was joking to be honest mate. I seen your vid on it. I'd never use OSB for finish work. You're right it looked horrible.
its only a box but its a robin clevett made box
Did you need a catch to stop it opening while driving around?
Hi robin, great video as always! Just curious over the change of table saw from Milwaukee?? Is there pros to having a different brand? Looking a new table saw needing to decide on brand either new version of Bosch’s table saw now seeing this video has made me consider hikoki? Liking the wide cutting capacity 😊👍🏽
Good man robin. Thanks for informative content
I'd of thought Hikoki gave him the table saw and router.
Saw is quite something. Especially the capacity. Seal the OSB for moisture protection?
Hi Robert, the saw is great, the box will mainly be in Richards van but OSB is pretty good in a shower, it has a coating that gives some weathering properties
Gday Robin
Did you say that router is 1/2 inch? That’s a game changer eh?! 1/2 cordless!
It is a really good router, and not having a power cord makes a lot of difference- just not having to worry about where the cord is, or putting the plug halfway along a cut so you don't get stopped or tripped near the end. Brilliant.
All I need now is a pipeless dust extractor
Yes mate, a half inch cordless, on the Multivolt system so heaps of power!!
Robin,
When will you get your hands on the new Hikoki plunge-cut track saw?
Hikoki have promised me that I can have my hands on it as soon as it arrives!!! watch this space
@@ukconstruction Very good! Thanks. Will do.
Hi Robin, really nice job as always. Any particular reason why you didn't use the dust extractor at the end of the bench with the router?
Would you consider using draw slides for smooth operation. I get it's only a hop up box but might help keep draw closed when driving
Once it’s full of tools it’ll be solid and osb is course, the friction will take care of that, plus it was a freebie
Porsche but no vernier calipers yet?
Great video Robin. One question..... how on earth do you get away with using your beautiful garden room as a workshop with Mrs Clevett? I have just today been evicted from the dining room table (varnishing a small garden stool I've made from reclaimed redwood). The irony is, the stool is for her anyway ffs 🥺.
Mate..... I here you!!! I have been using the garden room as a workshop for ever and in a week or so I have to officially leave and then I am workshopless!!! what you where doing is no messier than the ladies when they are cooking!!!!! have a great weekend Danny
forgefast screws ?
is osb sterling board made in uk ...?
What model table saw is that ?
Link in the video description Joe
would you have used ply if you had it? or OSB is just as good for this?
OSB is superior to ply in every way except for appearance. It is more rigid, water and abrasion resistant. Due to the higher spec glues, edges don't need sealing.
Just a shame it looks like it does
Hi Robin, would you say that router is powerful enough to do kitchen worktops?
Yes mate, absolutely, the key is always sharp two flute cutter and four or five even passes, exactly the same as a corded, it is so easy without a cord too!!
@Robin Clevett thanks, I'm looking for a new router and wanted cordless just couldn't find one 1/2 that would do the job so now I know I can order, thanks Robin big fan keep up the great work 👍🏻
@@richardrogers538 Yes it it, done a few with the Hikoki 1/2 router
Love your videos but please don't use that wake up song again 😅
Anyone know where Ed is?
He is working with me today!!
First
All the armchair box buiders on here now😢
An old tradesman I worked for years ago got every new bloke he put on to make a 600mm sq box. He gave them no other direction than to be exact with the measurements... you can tell alot bout a tradie by the box they make
Won't last a week with that weight on top. Two small drawers and a divider for support. Also for any beginners table saws are a big waste of money. Any tracksaw can deal with simple projects like this. Leave rebates and dados for joinery and then a good router is what you will use
We're about 5 weeks in and it's still as solid as a rock
Once you have got the hang of how versatile and accurate a table saw is, you use it all the time.
We aren't all beginners, and whilst this may be a simple project, its hardly typical of what some of us do. And if you've got the kit, why not use it if its the best tool for the job.
Whilst the router can do the edge rebates on a box like this, it is slower, messy, and dulls the cutter very quickly.
Would be great for you to post a video of how you would build it using a tracksaw . Judging by your negative comments I’m confident you wouldn’t have a clue.
I could build it with a handsaw , plane , chisel , hammer and nails with one arm , one eye
Great can’t wait to see the results, looking forward to watching.😂
