    Appreciate your video and as always your humor. One thing I have "learned" the hard way but rarely see mentioned in drawer instruction videos is the cabinet the drawers are installed in. If your cabinet is not square and it's interior dimensions are not known accurately all the care and skill put into the drawer construction will be for naught.

    Somewhere between intermediate and advanced I'd put the quarter-quarter-quarter method. It's simple to make since it needs only a single table saw setup for all the dados, grooves, and rabbets. The drawers are also very robust since the front of the box is mechanically locked in via blind rabbets.

    Material pricing is so interesting and it shows how naturally available materials affect prices. You say in the intro Birch ply is cheaper than Pine. It's the opposite here, Interior/furniture grade Pine plywood is ~100 USD and Birch usually starts at 400 (for 16-18mm and up)

    • @ScottWalshWoodworking
      @ScottWalshWoodworking  Місяць тому

      It wasn't cheaper than pine, but the pine wasn't available at the time. So I got what is sometimes referred to as "chinese birch" ply, which is no where near the same quality as Baltic Birch ply.

    I have a dresser that was made in the 1940s out of 1/4" finiture grade plywood, the inside was made as a frame the draw runners are pine
    The plywood was brad nailed to the frame even the draw frt was nailed over a frame the draws work on sliders the frame back in the 1940's it must have cost less then 10 bucks to make and it has lasted almost 100 years. Passed around 3 households a bunch of adults and kids a lot of kids.
    Its been in and out of my life 64 years my mom and dad bought it used. And yes the draw frts pulled off once or twice but my dad fixed it 50 years ago when i was a kid.
    I could improve on that designed and make it look more upscale and it last just as long.
    And you know what, its in my bedroom. I would not trade it

    Full agree that rabbets aren't necessarily "self-squaring". Maybe if you got everything exactly perfect on every single cut they would be but there's always the possibility of introducing errors. And then you can always get things cattywampus while clamping.

    Th orange big box stores in my area sell something called 'Sande Plywood'. Not sandeD plywood, but Sande (no second "d") It only comes in 2'x4' sheets in 1/4" (6mm), 1/2" (12mm) and 3/4" (18mm) thicknesses. It's relatively inexpensive, overall good quality, looks good, and cut's nicely. The panels are true to size and square on all corners, AND it weighs 35% - 40% lighter than baltic birch plywood. I've been using in place of baltic birch and am happy with the results so far.

      @Zzzarka 26 днів тому +1

      @@ScottWalshWoodworking .. I am sure it will be fine, but if i get to be a bit anal about it :D expansion is not the problem for this orientation, shrinkage is :) .. if it shrinks it is likely to start to rattle since it will not be as snug in the grooves and if it shrinks a lot it might fall out :) .. oriented 90 degrees you get a full material thickness worth of room for movement. way more than you have now. so it is always the more safe option. (if you take care and not fasten it in the back to hard like i have done and have it crack ... )

    Why not set one table saw with a 1/4" stack dado one 1/4" away from the fence and make a 1/4x1/4x1/4 draw and never change it then you can use 1/4" bottom or 1/2" draw bottom and not worries that a 1/4" plywood is not 1/4" because your making a 1/4" dado on all edges of the bottom. That draw box holds together with a tiny glue and a few finnish nails and it won't fall apart.
    Or instead of saying its a 1/4" ply
    You set it up the thickness of the plywood both the fence and the stack dado set. Adding about 2thou looseness

    Wood type depends on the project
    If its a shop draw it is perfectly fine to use MDF over plywoods.
    The Birch plywood should be used on kitchen cabnit's you really do not need it in shop's bank of draws.
    As long as you need water off it it will last just as long if you build it right. Why waste money on something your tossing tools into.

    While it may be fun and/or interesting to make joints more advanced than butt or rebate, for draw boxes with false fronts it seems overly complicated.
    I spend zero time looking at the sides of draw boxes, thus I only care about robustness along with ease and speed of construction and assembly. A locking rebate is good fit for all of those criteria.
