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.

Honestly, watching someone make dozens of boxes has no business being as entertaining as this is.
Its drumming around the campfire. Its following a house go up on your way to work.
Frank is the only guy who is like "I have this incredibly long and tedious job to do... I should also do stop-motion animation of it."
Aaron Bieber frank and Jackman works should have a tedious-off
Not the only one! Take a look at Clickspring's channel. Not woodwork, still glorious crafting.
@@Chruce Oh I know it well. I feverishly watched the skeleton clock series, which is still quite possibly some of the most satisfying brass turning on UA-cam.
Seriously, this is more about the man's patience and commitment to a project than skill or design.
@@Chruce also soup classic motoring ;)
Your robotic arm nailer was Magic!
I agree with the other comments, a rolling librarian ladder would be a pretty cool build.
Exactly what I was thinking too. Great minds and all of that...lol.
@@larryfisher7056 - I though all this too: especially the over-engineered design that Frank will come up with - he'll turn his own wheels or something.
Yes! Library ladder all the way around the shop!!
For the foam cutouts, cut out a couple 3/4" semi-circles to easily grab the tools.
Frank your content is a perfect way to relax in current situation. I love how even though you had to put a lot of work in to just buliding these drawers, you also took the time to do your awesome stopmotion. Thank you so much!!!
Just a humble suggestion you already know but paraffin on the runners will help the slide of the drawer.
My thought exactly. I used paste wax on the cabinets that I made a few years ago that are just like these. No where near as many though.
Good, thinking guys. In America there is a product called Door-Ease Stick Lubricant. Use it like a crayon. Works on the hinges of my old 4x4 with removable doors too.
Bar soap. All day.
Tom Johnson (Antique Furniture Restoration and Gourmet) uses a piece of old candle!
I watched this this vid specifically to know what he used for that purpose, but he never addressed it....
When I made my drawers, I painted the fronts with black chalkboard paint and wrote the contents with a pastel pencil. Works exceptionally well and I can read contents from across the room.
That's a great idea for cost saving as well.
Thats a great idea for us that need glasses to read small print.
Hope you don't mind but I will pinch that idea! Cheers
That's a really nice idea.
Plus, you can easily change the label when you swap out the contents!
Probably already thought of/mentioned - when you empty out a box then tear the front marker of the box with the manufacturer information and put in the bottom of the drawer for future restocking! It has helped me allot!! and frustrated when I forgot to :-)
This is my preferred method. If they are expensive or hard to find I'll even write the price/source on the box.
I did this with a few, where I had the original box.
The ladder on a rail. Like in a library / bookcase. So one can slide it if it’s in the way. John heisz made sliding/pull out storage systeem.
Would that support the weight of the ladder and person safely with the French cleats?
Not sure if John's system is similar in that fashion, but id be curious to see if it would be able to support that.
@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. 😃. I have the French cleats in combo with John system. And the are supported not. admittedly i have no heavy stuff in it.. the are to small to put big heavy things in them. 😉
The collections of screws around the shop is totally legit and authentic. I am relieved i am not the only one who has this going on in their shop.
Hy Frank ! I am in design school and I had to present an artist to my class. I chose you and I presented them with a presentation on what you did and they really liked it. I really appreciate what you do. Bravo 👏👏
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.
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.
@@doggfite I have some like this too.
You could also just remove the hook/holder from the cleat to add/remove things from it then put it back.
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.
@@jeremyspecce for rulers etc with holes, I like to hammer in a rivet at a slight angle. Easy entry, and a smooth aluminum shoulder to hang on.
Hey Frank, as always a great video. Maybe for a ladder you'd consider something like a Librarian's rolling ladder. That would be a cool build. Cheers!
Yeah Pask Makes did one like that
Your skills and abilities as a master woodworker are amazing enough. The fact that you are also an accomplished videographer, storyteller and video editor is just mind boggling.
My friend you have more patience than I knew ever existed. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Frank, this is coming along really well; congratulations for investing the time to undertake what all of us really need to do to make for an efficient shop. BTW, your disc sanding method brought chills to me!
Thanks for this awesome video Frank!
Not only do you show us 'tricks of the trade' but you also give us ideas and perspective about such projects and woodworking in general.
Cheers
Frank, you are absolutely brilliant! How you manage to keep all of the intricacies of these projects straight in your head is amazing. It would be an awesome trip if one could take a tour inside your head to see how it works. But since we can't, your videos will have to suffice. I love what you do, and how you do it. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, and keep well.
Maybe Frank will donate his brain to science.
Hmmm... I'm seeing an episode of "Futurama" ... 😝
You're incredible ! I have been watching your videos for several years now and thanks to you when I'm faced with a problem I think in terms of system instead of just punctually resolving the problem. Cheers from France :)
You have the patience of a saint. All those drawers...
Hello Mr Howarth. I sincerely enjoy people like you. Let me shake your hand virtually. I hope you continue to enjoy us with your videos.
Greetings from Bulgaria!
Frank, you are a truly brilliant guy, and one who can hold an audience's attention for hours. Keep 'em coming, matey! Regards, Bob.
You are incredibly patient. I hope these videos find wealth for your labor. Content is appreciated!
Idk if this is weird, but there is something relaxing about his chuckle
Your shop blows my mind. A table saw as an out feed for the table saw. Not to mention what you do in your shop. :)
This is one of my favourite channels and all because it is calm, relaxing, skilled and everything is paced so perfectly and it chills me out in the modern world that is too fast for its own good.
Keep up the great work, Frank.
The "Automated Jig" was one of my favorite animations of yours and you set the bar pretty high with the death star build and the lawn chair video.
You are an incredible teacher. I learn something every time I watch. Thanks Frank!
A brief word of thanks for all the editing that this video required! Thanks Frank.
How you have the patience to add a robot arm animation sequence during all that work just blows my mind.
You're amazing! Outstanding work Frank - video, wood, comedy .. you nail it every time!
Words cannot explain how deeply, deeply satisfying it is to see you create meticulous order out of chaos.
I am in the process of doing something similar in my shop. Just not on such a grand scale. Thank you for sharing Frank. Please stay healthy and have a good day.
Attention to details. Makes all the difference. Looks great
Your patience and persistence is something for the record books!
As always enjoy the stop motion animation in between the builds! Great work Frank
Love watching your videos. The way you talk through all your thought process on why you are doing helps me to take and add for y own projects.
Very nice. I like the "every other" spacing idea. It really leaves this system open for fine tuning, or even re-organizing when desired. Mental notes are being taken, on my end here.
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. :-/
Me and my younger son sorted through all my bolts and screws and stuff at the weekend, it took hours and we loved it!
The epitome of a wood workshop, fantastic, world-class!!!! And the video on your fake robot, sheer brilliance!!!
Dangit Frank! Now I have 'screw envy' to add to all my other issues. Thanks for that. 😄
And thanks for the cool video. I loved the 'automated box making' sequence! 😜
Frank I love your videos, Your commentary, Your humor, All that being said I do think your insane. What an undertaking, Beautiful, Nice work as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frank Howarth....the master of workshop automation and video production! Love to watch your work.
What a great storage wall. I can not wait to see what the ladder will look like that you design. Thanks for sharing.
You are one smart and precise man and always think everything out so well. This is a work of art Frank ! :-) Dennis
Wow! I am exhausted, from that experience of watching. Great job.
I love looking at your shop. My 2022 resolution is to get my shop organized.
I love your combination of drawers and cubbies.
I made the same drawers about 8 months ago for my router bits! Only smaller. And only about 6 drawers. Apply some paste wax to the mating parts and those drawers work smooth as butter! Incredible job as always Frank! Thank you for sharing your work with us!! (Btw...I got the drawer idea from Jeremy Schmidt - another genius!)
What an astonishing amount of work, and on top of this you’ve taken time to do stop motion animation. Blows my mind. Kudos and thanks for all your effort! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Lovely work Frank. I was lucky enough to buy 3 similar cabinets from the appliance repair company I work for when we moved premises after 90+ years. They were custom made from Southland Beech in 1923. Still working perfectly. Southland Beech is a New Zealand native timber, very dimensionally stable. Used in WW2 to build the Mosquito fighter bomber. Cost me 3 whole boxes of beer.
Holy crap I wish I was born with your patience Frank.
About organizing : glue an example of every screw/nail/whatever on the front of the drawer. So you can see quickly what's in the drawer.
Some use photos, in stead of the real example, to put on the front of the drawer.
Great video as always Frank 👍, stay safe. 😷
Then the next video would be of the kids pushing each other back and forth on said ladder. 😀
Great video! Thanks for showing your hiccups and successes. Including your family adds that needed touch. Keep the video’s coming!
Frank, you spent 22 minutes making boxes and I had more fun and learned more that in many of my classes. I can't wait for the next installment of "Frank makes..."
Just this week I built very similar boxes and faced the exact same problems: Warping of the walls, etc. :)
Thanks for the great video!
Great project! As always I love your videos and how well they are put together. Really, well done on the closing monologue, I also have the same considerations and its nice to see others over come them.
For the drawer rails I like to apply some dry soap to make it slide more smoothely. Just take a piece of soap and rub it along the rails. Fast, easy, durable.
Pretty animations! I liked them. :) Thank you.
Frank.. I love this entertaining project so much. You are a great director...
Holy cow, that's amazing! I really like the comment "i need find more screws to fill it" hahaha! No more loose screws for you. Love it😊😊
A great video and project, if viewers take only one thing from this let it be Frank's bench saw technique, 1. The blade is always just higher than the work piece 2. 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.
Really outstanding project. Triggers my anxiety thinking about how to logically organize things. I’d have spent as much time on that as the build!
I loved the automation segment. Had to watch it a couple times. 👍
Nice, simple and effective design.i like this, thanks Frank!
Awesome system, Frank! Really enjoyed this series.
When I was a lad (lo, these many decades ago) my dad would go around with a block of paraffin to 'lubricate' all the wooden skids on our all wood drawers. This was back before drawer runners were popular. About once a year. Since we lived in the PDX area we found that winter swelling was also a factor with fit and finish of the drawers.
A master craftsman's shop and house are full of awesome, useful, practical and beautiful things. Superb work 😄
Your editing is beyond compare, as well as you instruction.
Claire did fantastic work. It's nice to have some talent in the family. :)
Machines taking away our jobs! That was a great segment Frank. I literally laughed out loud.
Nicely done, Frank. That 4mm plywood is some of the most frustrating material that is made. It sounds like a good idea, and the price is right, but it always seems to lead to tears.
Hi Frank
I love the "modern times" gig !!
now all you need is a library-ladder of sorts. This system is so cool and looks super pleasing, especially since the one roofside its on is so high, it makes it feel so nice and spaceous
Glad to see some animated tools again!
Thank you Frank! Stay safe, love from Brooklyn.
Furious Frank did go insane again! This job is insane!!
Hi Frank, you’ve inspired my son and I to play with stop animation, we love it, and love your videos! Thanks
i love your patience and precision :)
Hi FrankI love the "modern times" gig !!
Hi Frank - this is amazing. I can see you building a library-style rolling staircase for accessing those higher drawers. :)
Production improvements:
1. Nailing the drawer bottoms: make a nailing stencil so you don't have to measure individually.
2. If you need multiple stops, make a stop for the longest piece, and make some coloured blocks in the right lengths to put between the stop and the workpiece for the shorter pieces.
3. To glue the drawer handles on, make a jig: cutout for the handle, frame for the drawer front on top.
Drawer improvements:
1. Foam cutouts for specific tools: make finger cutouts on the sides.
2. Make small open containers for the screws etc. Usually you need a bunch, and now it will be easier to take them to your work table.
3. Put some of the double-height drawers in the bottom: You may then be able to see what's in them. Also, carrying heavy things onto ladders may be inadvisable.
Agree, also if he'd use little boxes for screws, it'd be easier to sort them by size etc. afterwards
I can't really speak for the production improvements, but they seem to make sense. On the drawer improvements: YES.
Finger cutouts in the foam are a must. Nothing will make you stop using the cutouts sooner than not being able to get the tools out easily.
Small containers? Absolutely. You never need just a few screws, and you rarely know exactly how many you'll need, you just know that you'll need some screws of size X. If you need multiple screws you could take the entire drawer, but if you need 5 drawers because you need 5 different sizes, it's no longer an improvement, instead it's cluttering your workspace.
Double height drawers in the bottom? Absolutely. Not just for the heavy stuff, but also because they're most likely to gatter some clutter, which may be stacked on each other (despite the massive amount of storage available). Another tip for the top drawers: Only store stuff you rarely need up there.
I have never done production type work and am wondering is there any way you could show me how this would work? "2. If you need multiple stops, make a stop for the longest piece, and make some coloured blocks in the right lengths to put between the stop and the workpiece for the shorter pieces."
You are a scream! I love your work/videos your shop and having your family help is awesome. Thank Frank
Your editing is perfect!!! Never change!!!!❤️❤️
Amazing project and video. Thanks for sharing. The shop looks amazing.
Frank is like the Bob Ross of wood working videos!
I admire your patience! Large scale project for sure.
I been Putting this same project off for 40yrs...much easier just watching you do it
Outstanding job, as usual. You are the "Ghandi" of woodworking in my book!
Looks great! I would love an uptake once you figure out your organization system for those little drawers. The hardest part of sorting like this always seems to be keeping track of where things end up going.
Frank...a neat idea could be to use some 1” dowels to span between the cleats in the empty area between shelves, so you can hang stuff on them. You could even use your lathe and a skew to notch some angles into them so they hug the french cleats better, and some stops to keep them from rolling.
Thanks for the zen moment, much appreciated
Fabulous system Frank. It has given me some good inspiration for storage in my new shop. Many thanks.
Nice job Frank, entertaining as always! The drawers with the foam inserts in, if you sharpen a piece of thin walled tube (an old garden solar light stem is ideal) you can make a couple of half round cut-outs either side of the tool you are placing in the foam to make it easier to grab hold of. Take care and stay safe, now go wash your friggin' Hands, again!! lol. Cheers from "Over the Pond" ... Les.
This is the mother of all UA-cam drawer video's. Nobody else on UA-cam ever needs to show the construction of a drawer, ever. LOL
Sir, you have the patience of a saint, well done.
Your workshop looks like a wonderful place to relax and build.
spectacular work. I was delighted to see the video. Nice job.
That was an ambitious project, but it turned out very well. Thanks for all the effort you put in those videos!
Only Frank can make drawer making entertaining!! Awesome!
For those high drawers, it would be cool to have the drawer bottoms made of plexiglass to see whats in it without getting on the ladder.
