Another way to cut the folding miter is to use a dado blade tilted to 45 degrees. That's what I was going to do in the first place, before I noticed the V-groove bit. The V-groove bit takes longer to make the cuts, though, and router bits get dull a lot faster than blades.
While it takes some time to cut the folding miters, it takes no time at all to assemble - just fold and tape the miters. This method would work just as well for larger drawers made from thicker plywood, but you'd want to use that dado blade instead of the router bit to speed things up.

John, I like that drawer seperator idea. Been wanting to try the bend plywood drawer also. Thanks
If you had it to do again, would a table saw kerf help the router work more efficiently? It shouldn't be too difficult to keep that kerf within the envelope of the final cut, so long as it's only half or 3/4 the total thickness.
@@joelhollingsworth2374 Yes, good idea :)
My table saw won't take a dado stack (AFAIK), is there a way to accurately do it with a normal blade? Or in this case is the router bit the better option?
@@MelbourneClimbingSchool I would imagine a regular table saw blade with an ATB grind (each alternating tooth leans left, then right) would work, but you'd have to use 2 different rip fence settings. If you cut a kerf with one of these that's not all the way through, you know the bottom of the groove has 2 'points' with a raised ridge in the middle. So to use that, tilt the blade over at a 45 degree and set the height on a piece of scrap of the same material as your boxes, so that it is just shy of cutting all the way through, with the rip fence set at the shorter distance, from the edge of the blank to the depth of the groove, with the ATB kerf cutting its topmost 'point' into the point of the V-groove. Then flip the scrap blank around, and set the rip fence at a longer distance, equal to going from the top of the V-groove to the opposite edge of the blank, making sure the opposite 'point' of the ATB kerf is nestled up into the point of the first cut, and cut out the remainder of the V-groove. So to batch them out, do all the short 'rip fence distance' cuts on all the blanks first, then flip them around, set the fence to the longer distance, then cut out the remainders of all the V-grooves on that run.
I like the up down offset. Gives it some unique visual interest.
Thanks Jay :)
@@JohnHeisz you could stick some labels on the guides with the contents of the drawers 😃
With a face plate added, you'd never know and you regain the horizontal space that dividers usually take up!
@@RickMeasham 👍👍😊
Super clever
that up-down arrangement is so clever! It's simple, solves a problem, looks neat, and is just so... simple! Love it!
😊😊👍
I liked the use of the V groove bit to cut the miters for the drawers, it was very clever. Your builds always inspire to try to think of new ways to accomplish woodworking tasks.
Cedar fence boards. Just one more example of the versatility of this material and an inspired mind. When I see all the utility that John brings out from wood, I stand deeply in awe.
Sometimes simplicity is genius. You knocked it out out the park with project! Thank you.
You never fail to amaze me with your clever use of positive and negative space in such a way that the new form then functions damn near like magic. Thanks as always for ‘puttin it out there’ for us less creatively inclined splinter gatherers. Stay well and prosper.
What a lovely little project John. The upper and downer alternating slider-stops are a great and fast way to use here! Many thanks!
I love the simplicity of this design John. It is something I know I can get several done in just a few hours. Ive been looking for something like this for my craft room and it will be perfect for the leather tooling area. I have tons of snaps in varing sizes and conchs of different styles and many other tiny pieces. I may even make several of these for the beads i use for jewelry making.Thank you for sharing this with us!
Ah I love everything about this. Thank you! So creative and effective, in so few steps too. Looking forward to giving this a try as soon as I get around to building a little router jig 👍
always a pleasure to watch you work. not only a fine craftsman but an artist.
John you are master when it comes to building. You keep it simple and make masterpieces. Thank You
The manufacture of the draws is such a unique method. Thanks for the great ideas!
Another great build I love the way you don't always follow the normal the up down of those drawers I belive will be in my shop one day I love it
Again just brilliantly thinking out of the box to produce a useful piece with an unusual twist that is both practical , easy to build and visual pleasing.Thank you.
That’s what I call thinking outside the box! Very clever John!
I miss your woodworking videos. You are a UA-cam woodworking legend!
Really cool idea John! I like the technique for making the drawers. The up/down system looks pretty good, there isn't enough high difference to really throw the look off, just enough to please the eye. The grain on that plywood would really stand out with some oil too!
That interchanging height of the sitting of drawers - ingenious! It saves quite a lot of horizontal space. Congrats. :) Nice build and a pleasant to watch video. Cheers!
clever method for the drawer guides. I watched a video about five years ago on making drawers using a V bit and I made several which are holding up very well.
Inventive and well executed, thank you for taking the time to video and edit it.
Perfect for little drawers that won't need to hold a lot of weight. I like the staggered drawer heights, saves space. Great project John.
There is no space savings. Looks cool though
@@rd-ch1on in the total width of the set there is 3.75 inches of saved space not having a divider between each drawer. How do you not understand that?
As a long time subscriber I am very happy you found a sponsor that is relevant to you.
Mr. Heisz love your channel. When I get my shop up and going I'll have to order some plans from you as your knowledge is first-rate!!
That was very well done! I really like the drawers staggered, looks really cool.
This is so cool. Both design and technique. Always and ever increasingly jealous of how everything is ready for you jig/tool wise and how precise it all ends up. Thank you as always for the content and inspiration
Hii sir
Love the simplicity of these drawers - nice work
John your videos never fail to amaze me, I didn't expect much this time I've watched hundreds of drawers being made, but once again yours came out on top, that's genius.
Good job
I've been pushing that method for years, but noticed none of your YT woodworking brethren trying it. Glad to see you're among the very first to take it seriously!
John your video production skills are high quality... your videos are pleasant to watch. I appreciate the attention to detail (as in your woodworking)
Nice job. I would never have thought of using a router bit to make folding mitres - but I will sure give it a go.
That up-down offset is so cool. Thanks for sharing John. Your videos are always inspiring.
Folks, NEVER click follow any of these spammers to other platforms or call the phone numbers they give you.
I wish we could love videos. You are one of the most innovative thinkers on UA-cam!
I'm always dumbfounded at all the gadgets you make for your machines.... yours and Jay's videos have helped me on my woodworking journey!
This drawer design with the staggered guides is very clever!
Good workJohn, you must lay awake nights thinking of this stuff. Keep on smilng.
Have I ever told you how amazing your ideas are? They are.
You always have such clever ideas, and this is no exception. I'll have to keep this trick in the back of my mind.
One of the best tips I've learned in last 20 years is tape on miters. So much easier than clamps.
Always thought provoking, inspired and rational. Thanks John!
The up/down dividers are a brilliant idea!
Best projects ever. Love the way you explain. Thank you.
Love the design and implementation. Great stuff, John.
Unique drawer arrangement. Very space efficient!
Fantastic idea for small drawers. Now I need to order a sharp point bit.
That "UP-DOWN" was pretty innovative. Cool!
I hope this goes viral. Thanks for the video John.
it looks cute
and the drawers design is also very impressive, thanks to those bent miters
Nice drawers! Really like the folding miter joints.
You're really underselling the drawer slide method there. It looks awesome and is perfect for that use case.
Very clever, staggering the drawers so they are put in without dividers, but still kept in place.
Thank you for sharing your genius and creativity.
The up/down drawers are genius. Allowing the drawers to be placed with no divider between them really saves space.
A bottom rail/tongue for each drawer would do the same and save even more space. Funny looks tho.
@@constantinosschinas4503 Exactly how would that take less space? Thinner? These could have been a bit thinner as well.
@@rd-ch1on I agree. The look is great. I admit that it might not be for everyone, but not everyone will build this. 🙂
There's side to side space saving. Doing it this way made it possible to fit all 12 drawers under the CNC. I couldn't do that with dividers between the drawers.
@@rd-ch1on horizontal space is being saved due to the lack of traditional dividers.
Great construction. Never crossed my mind to use a v bit and the up and down method. Your a very clever man.ill be trying that in my shop this weekend.👍thanx.
You're always elevating things to another level. I made boxes like this using my CNC with a vgroove bit. I prefer making things by hand though. Will definitely give this a go.
The other thing I like is that you used a cedar fence board. Recently I been using cedar fence boards for a lot of my projects. Love the way it smells and love the way it looks too.
Been using CMT bits and blades since I picked up my unisaw 20 some years ago. best blades and bits I've used.
Great video as always. I love your voiceover work for these, and the transitions to the ad portion for CMT and the Maker's Mob are seamless.
Very cool design, what a great way to make small drawers, would have never thought of doing it like that. Thanks.
Brilliant! Thinking outside of the box (shelf) ...!
Thanks for this. This is great. I love the position of the drawers.
Beautiful and unique - Nicely done John!
Great idea using the pointed bit and the drawer dividers.
Wow. I have to remember this trick for making drawers. NEAT
Nicely done John. I hadn't thought of using the V bit for mitre joints. I'll have to give it a go. Cheers.
Such a beautiful table saw, you did an amazing job. Very talented
This is a lovely and delicate bank of drawers.
Great looking, very functional. Thanks John.
So satisfying watching your work. Keep it up man. Inspiring.
Nice to see another joiner doing a lovely job . . . loving the height changing design. . . . makes it far more interesting . . . awesome . . . bet you really enjoyed making those . . . I know I will when I copy the design as I have been meaning to make some extra small drawers. So much nicer than drawer kits made from plastic . . . errr! Cheers
Love the look of this. Great stuff john
Beautiful work ( project and video ) and visual appealing. Great work John.👌
Thanks :)
Brilliant and super practical! Thank you.
Lovely job, John!
Genius, don't need clamps you always have innovative ideas.
Very nice way to make drawers. Got to love those CMT blades too!
Nice work, really like the idea of alternating guides, thanks.
Love the up-down offsets, and that it means there is no additional wasted space for drawer dividers.
I had another thought - putting a shallow groove along the under side of the top panel about 1/2in back from the front edge. And in the top dividers too. That way when you pull the drawers out, they'll tilt down a bit for easier access.
Folks, NEVER click follow any of these spammers to other platforms or call the phone numbers they give you.
I love watching your work. Thanks for the video
one of the brightest!!!
Very cool technique!
We often build mitered boxes out of MDF for museum displays, I'm gonna try this metod.
Btw, a fun method for managing those tiny knobs when cutting them on the table saw.
Take the dust bag out of your vacuum cleaner. Clamp down the hose next to the saw blade and the little knobs will be safely collected by the vacuum.
Stupid simple.
Great Craftsmanship!
Well done!
Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 28 Jun 22.
That’s not just a good storage space but a cool looking one at that
Wow!!! I'm going to try it today. Thank you!!!
I'm really digging the background tunes.
Brilliant idea John.
That's a very nice design, thank you for sharing!
You always come up with those cool ideas! Very neat.
Thanks for sharing John!! 👍
I really like this idea! Great video !
😇😂😱wow John that’s clever and i like that the “dividers” work for 3 things at once 👍🏼❤️🇨🇦
Loads of details work involved !!!
Mega, this Idea with the upper/down Solution 👌😃
Excellent project John.👍👍
I like all the home made tools and machines.
Very nice! You are a very skilled craftsman!
love the self made router table but it was terrifying watching you use it
Unique and interesting design. Really nice work.
Every time you say you've thought of something new and clever I think "yeah right, probably not" but damn it you're right like every time!
Great wood working as always.
I've heard it said that genius is the ability to perceive the obvious. The simplicity of this design using the up down arrangement to keep the drawers separate in the least amount of space? Genius. Whoda' thunk it!
