    A bottom on the drawers, even 1/8" plywood would keep them from racking and the joints loosening over time and use.

    Those are absolutely gorgeous. Before you even talked about making them the legs of your future desk, I had the same idea for a future desk of my own. Great job!

    Sweet build! I have the same heating/cooling system in my shop. Take a 20x20 air filter, cut it half, and lay it over the top of your vents on the indoor unit. It will prevent small dust particles from getting into the system. Thanks for all the great vids!

      *TopFineWoodworking. Com* is a fantastic website about wood working. I took various classes as well as finished a one year diploma in carpentry at a local tech college; this is much better than any book I worked out of during those lessons. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?

    Great project. I got a lot out of this simple build. I did not know Kreg had a Micro hole jig. That's great to know. I also have seen the drawer slide jig... but people usually edit out actually how to use it. So that was good to see. I've also only used shellac once. So it was a good reminder that you have that video. Your finishes always seem to come out great and are simple. The shop looks like it's coming along great. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.

    Wow, the shellac really makes the grain pop! I'll add drawer bottoms to mine as I tend to over pack them and some important paper slips between the folders and ends up underneath. The likelihood of a page falling between folders increases exponentially with the urgency with which I need to find it.

    Nice build. One thing, put triangle blocks in the bottom corners of the drawers. As you use them with the weight of the files, it will wiggle the box of the drawers just enough to weaken them. Trust me as time goes by... BTDT

    Those two cabinets are possibly the nicest home built file cabinets I've ever seen. Will you use the same walnut veneered board with solid walnut lipping for your desk top? (I think it would look the ducks guts if you did.) The "drawers" will last much longer if they have a secure base otherwise racking, especially when loaded with a lot of files, will cause it to self destruct.
    Your shop is looking like a shop studio! Cheers, David

  • @danielkeating4684
    @danielkeating4684 6 років тому

    Pro tip...Place a weight in the bottom of your file drawer and it will keep it from tipping when loaded. Since it’s going under your desk that won’t apply, but it might help someone else. Great video!

  • @jasonmccoy258
    @jasonmccoy258 6 років тому

    Beautiful set of cabinets. My only critique is not having a bottom to each draw. I understand that technically there is no need for them because everything is supposed to hang, but in my experiences with my filing cabinets, I always have files that fall and am having to clean them up. These look great though.
