- I just couldn't take it any longer. Something had to be done. Small parts storage can be a pain and I had to solve it. This is my take on making the best possible storage solution / assortment cabinet I could.

I 100% prefer the contrast of the birch legs to the black cabinet. Celebrate those first legs, let them stand out!
For centuries now, woodworkers have been making jigs like shooting boards to make working actual wood easier and more accurate. With powered machines, jig making and use has risen. I really like and appreciate your use of 3D printing to make jig-making itself easier and more accurate. As you make more and more of them, keep them around to make a video that's just about the categories and ideas for 3D printed jigs, and maybe if you've found that some work better than others, go into that.
Will do!
I agree with this and that's what I came here to comment. Genuinely 1 you should be sponsored by a 3D printer company cause that made me want to get a 3D printer. If you ever run out of video ideas it would be awesome to see a video all about how you design your templates and so on to help other wood workers make their own. I seem to spend more time making jigs and shop tools / furniture than I do actual projects, so I'm sure 3D printing would help a ton.
*Edit*
This was my first video of yours I've watched, and I'm currently watching the one about the giant 3D printer. I guess in a way they did sponsor you! That's great. Genuinely seems like having A 3D printer (of normal size) would be a great addition to a workshop in order to make repeatability more reliable.
This is also what has been cool to see with John Heinz lately. His first video with a 3D printer you could just tell how much inspiration he gained. The 3D printer breathed new life into a man in his 60s
Spending all your money on tools leaves little budget for nice woods to use the tools on. A few years ago I switched from buying tools to actually buying and storing nice lumber. A tool looses its novelty pretty quickly but each piece of wood is always a discovery and you always have leftover walnut for a small top and legs 😉
I have to do that! :)
@@TheSwedishMaker looks like you already have the tools to make pretty much anything yiu can think of, the beauty in storing wood is it only gets better with age 😊
I've started doing that myself. The 50 to 100 I would have spent on a tool I spend on a few pieces of lumber when I'm out and about. I now have enough oak to build a craftsman style table
@@ponyboyc exactly, I always buy a bit more than I need. The other great thing is the wood is always dry when you need it!
For those who have t thought of it yet and I know it sounds a tad scary but try the local funeral directors for cut offs, I get some of my woods from there, not always free but donate to the coffee pot and you often get wood straight, smooth on 4s and in manageable sizes for the homeWW, they’re often glad to get rid of some “junk” as they need space for their “big boxes” I got small pieces of Purple Heart, mahogany, teak and oak plus a good amount of 21 mm birch ply, as the comment about I’m now collecting good wood but still using crappy stuff for ideas
Good luck everyone
i'm also a taller than average woodworker, when setting up my current workshop i raised the working surfaces of my benches and machines by 100mm. i now don't have to lean over so much and my back is not screaming at me daily. its well worth the effort.
Having major back issues, this absolutely makes the difference in me being able to do things or not. Work surface height should always be priority.
100mm? 3.93”?
@@shawnholton5182 probably meant 100mm over normal height
@@shawnholton5182 small typo, fixed now :)
@@ment001 Cool. Im in America and am trying to become bilingual in imperial and metric.
Amazing project 😍
A tip regarding hot glue is to heat it with a hot air hun or in an oven. That way you can adjust easy 😉
My daughter is making paper cat masks with felt and she has mastered using the hairdryer to adjust the felt for a perfect finish.
Cant wait to se what you are up to next!!
I really like the contrast of the birch legs and top against the black MDF. Fantastic piece
I really like the contrast between the bright birch and the black MDF. Especially with the white drawer pulls and labeling. Well done.
I'm not sure if it has been said before but for future reference, most hot glues can easily be removed with Isopropil Alcohol and in most cases it will not do any damage to the underlying material as it will evaporate. Just try to get it in between the glue and the surface, an acid brush or similar will help.
The contrast between the black body and the birch top and legs looks really good. I wouldn't regret doing it like that. Also: Jigs aren't lazy. Work smarter, not harder.
Wow! Great work, Pierre!! Wish I had one of those. Wish you fast recovery with your thumb 😉👍
I had been jealous of the black MDF for some time. We now have a distributor on each coast for it and the other colors as well. It's a design game changer. Love the videos and keep up the great work.
i really like the natural colored legs/base. i think u made the right choice, not the wrong one. also other elements like drawer runners & knobs/labels are great. i personally hate the half moon "spoon" shaped ones on traditional apothecary cabinets. Excellent work!!!
I don't have any Systainers, so I did my shop organizing with Gridfinity. I stuck to specific heights for the boxes to be able to put them in Systainer like boxes to transport them without them flying around. So much work, but so nice.
En av dina bästa videor definitivt. Å snyggt att lämna benen ljusa! Blir inspirerad å sugen på att göra samma grej, är i samma skruvade situation själv :)
I have nearly the same screw ordering system from makita. It has also this small rectangles to hold the boxes. For these of you who use Makpacs, it is called 191X80-2.
There are also already available solo boxes to fit inside.
That is a beautiful piece you have created. And the contrasting colours were a great decision!
Awesome work and all the best on your journey
I love this one and the box system is quite awesome. I love the contrast of the wood, it's an awesome mix. Kudos to the build :)
Cool build dude!
It's so nice to see your channel growing this well.
Am here since the first videos, and will stay around! Always good content 🙌🏻
Thanks a lot for the continued support! Appreciate it!
The client seemed quite pleased with your design and construction so I think you can be confident your choices are correct.
It looks great and I like the black and birch together.
Finished product looks great!
Muy buen trabajo! Felicitaciones! Que los disfrutes! No hay nada como toda la tornillería en orden! Abrazo!

Your videos are great, I hope you don't die from MDF dust inhalation!
A great build, and it turned out really well. When you were putting the drawer fronts on, you were putting them on from the top down. Most other woodworkers/creators seem to build them from the bottom up, using the one below to rest on plus a suitably sized shim for the gap that is required. That way, you only need to think about the spacing at the sides. The playing card trick is also a great way to make fitting drawer fronts a lot easier. However, your channel is quickly becoming one of my go to channels.
Thanks! I went the opposite way because I realised I was off in my calculations after changing the height of the cabinet last minute - so theres a bigger gap at the bottom so I wanted that gap there rather than at the top :)
Man that cabinet looks so good it wouldn’t be out of place in our lounge. Your right shop furniture should look good. Can’t wait to upgrade my shop now thanks a bunch 😂
Cant wait to see what you do with your shop. Thanks mate! ❤️
Very nice cabinet and i love the delivery of vid.
Good job, i miss fresh, good WW content so tn you💪
Thank you for sharing your experiences on your woodworking journey. Love the cabinet, the contrast is a design feature. Like many others, have been keeping fixings in less than ideal storage and recently began sorting into types. Maybe I should get my sh!t together and build a cabinet
Definitely time to design an ASRS (Automatic Storage and Retrieval System)!!! Show it what to put away, and off it goes; ask it what you need and it fetches it from the racks (which could be on roof or floor space)
I like the birch and black. I love your channel. I hope your channel grows large and affords you a decent living. I think you deserve it.
I really love your style and your work. It's beautiful mate!
very nice 😎👍
as a beginner amateur I always had two boxes for screws:
1. computer screws
2. wood screws
Last week I separated them into two more categories, it's a lot better now:
1. M3 computer screws
2. any other computer screws
3. short wood
4. long wood
It's a gorgeous piece. I love it.
Love this. Just the thing I needed to see
I quite like the contrast of the back and white! Well done!
Thanks!
I like the look of your new cabinet. I shudder at the thought of sorting out so many fasteners though! No more oddbins-of-fasteners for me!!
Hope the thumb recovers well . . .
Beautiful!
That’s beautiful! I’m sure we all have at least one piece of furniture in our house that this shop cabinet runs circles around in terms of beauty.
So true about the black MDF. I've had no luck finding it anywhere here in U.S. It would have looked absolutely amazing as my MFT top...
❤ how good mate. Really nice video and also the drawers 🫡
Appreciate it 🫡
I really like that.
Thank you for sharing.
Great build Pierre! I have 2 or 3 of those buckets. I really would like to make a solution like this but i'm worried I want poke my fingers 17 times with old rusty screws while digging for the right size bolt anymore. Not sure I could live without that excitement in my life.
Thanks Jason! Theres nothing like living with a bit of fear in life 😅
I do love the idea of working with black MDF but none of the local suppliers have it. But I do have the same red parallel guide system. I love that it comes in the same size systainer as my Festool tools. Don't envy the SawStop. I still prefer my Powermatic PM2000 and still have all my fingers.
I appreciate your work. So precise and neat….
Denmark here. I'm surprised you didn't notice that Festool (who bought SawStop a few years ago) have the Saw Stop technology on their table saws. I have the TKS 80 and I like it. Havn't lost any fingers since I got it.
I know about that saw and hope to try it out some day :) how many fingers did you loose before you got it?
@@TheSwedishMaker about a hand full.
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you!
Sorry about your thumb! To remove hot glue, you can use IPA (Isopropanol / pure alcohol). Get some to the glue surface and the hot glue and will loosen and you can just peal it off.
Excellent work 😊
This turned out really well. I love apothecary cabinets also. I am currently designing our new kitchen and am trying to find a way to bring an apothecary look into a set of drawer fronts
Great build and I like the contrast of the wood and mdf. I guess if I was to tweak it, I would age the brass down to be darker. But obviously that’s just my personal taste.
I share you a chisel and thumb story with you at makers central. 👊🏻
01:20 so true, my friends over at the usa. whenever they send a vid of their project and the kind of tools they have. fills me with envy
Looks great
Love it! ❤
Nice job!
Monumental task and a fantastic outcome, kudos 🤝🏻
i went to similar journey in Nov/December ... just compassing more than just screws, all the electronics, tools etc... I'm still on that journey while trying to keep up with my regular workload :O
Beautiful job.
I'm a big fan of birch with dark bold colors. I think it looks great. This being said very few people put stock in my fashion sense.
Its growing on me as well. Thanks!
I think if you were selling the drawers the wood contrast would not work. But as a personal build, to be used by you, in your workshop, it looks fantastic. Completely unique and creative.
Very nice work!
It is Beautiful and functional!!
I recognize that its the most important that *you* like the look of your shop, but i gotta say, the white feet and top look so good with the knobs and label plates. It seems to provide a good definition of the top and bottom, with the hardware accentuating the black center.
Thanks!
I like the final look. And I like apothecary style drawers too. You should get a dado stack, it would make cutting the slots faster. There's now an EU compliant dado stack.
Great project! @ I live in Växjö (Kronoberg, Småland) who/where do you buy your wood from? 😁
Excellent video
A beautiful work and a great video. Stay on :)
Great video and even better workmanship for a screws' cabinet. You know, I loved contrast my whole life, still do but I really hate to say this but I must agree with you, I think in this case, it doesn't quite work. I suspect it's that birch (one my favourite), is a very low "definition" grain and along with the plain black MDF, makes the whole thing with a lack of "pop". Don't get me wrong though, your finished cabinet looks incredible. I appreciate your very honest view of life by the way.
Very nice. A good combination of in shop and mobile ready storage. Just curious, do you have the odd large box of 4000 screws hidden somewhere for the ones you use most?
Dear Swedish Maker, it looks great! I can am constantly back and forth if I buy a table saw or not. Using the Festool saw and my band saw for everything but very often there is so much workaround, instead of using a table saw. But my material is often heavy and I want t-nut slots and precision, so no table saw from Festool. I can not help but notice you DO have a sawstop table saw with iron table. I found a couple of pages that import it for you. What did you do? If I may ask. Did you import it and change the electronics for it?
Hey for removing hot glue adhered to something if you want to remove the hotmelt use isopropyl alcohol. It ruins the ahesion and you get clean parts without hotmelt
The colored MDF is available in the US, but I have only found two vendors who have the 4 feet by 8 feet size. Of course, neither are close to me, meaning that the shipping costs are multiple times that of the cost of the actual colored MDF, so you have to buy in bulk, basically.
Very Nice build! You are Good! Mycket Snygg möbel! Perfekt i vilken verkstad som helst!
Thanks for the video.
Totally agree that everyone complaining about typ or numbers of tools should better spend their time in woodcrafting than writing comments - would make that world a better one with less "know-it-alls".
And I saw professionals using the Sharper Origin as it makes repeating build way easier by keeping an excellent quality in way less time. When there are tools out there to make your life easier - why not using them?
Keep on what you do, I like the stile of your videos - excellent job.
When using hot-glue you need to pre-heat the surfaces before. If you do that you get a longer time moving it around :) Quick tip of the day.
From a fellow Swede :)
thanks for the video. I also make most of my drawers the way you do.
what tablesaw do you have?
Its the Laguna Fusion 3
I like the white and black contrast. It has a modern, clean look to it with some old world charm from the labels. Rubio can be a hot topic for some woodworkers, but lets be honest - we'd all be using it for everything if it wasn't so expensive. The ability to lock in the "just sanded" look and stop the yellowing/lightening/color-changing of natural wood is a huge benefit. Like a finish that doesn't "look" like a finish. Just protects and lets the wood steal the spotlight.
Get the TS75 from Festool, it's such a worthwhile upgrade.. We got it for the cut depth, but it's a better machine in general because it has a much stronger motor.
Will look into it.
Looks great. Big fan of apothecary cabinets!
Riktigt vackert, bra jobbat
Superfint! Hindrar Rubio-oljan björk från att gulna med något UV-skydd eller så? Funderar nästan på att köpa en burk för att testa.
De har lite olika pigment. Det går inte att hindra det helt, men det hjälper i alla fall
@@TheSwedishMaker okej, tack!
Mycket vackert hantverk! Bra jobbat.
11:00 is so so so imporant to me as well. Nice video man
and a sweet shop as well, I'm getting on the cnc side myself due to wrist pain when I do too much manual chiseling, hand sanding etc, assembly with multiple steps like predrill > put together > unscrew it all and put glue and screws again. That would make my hands pretty much barely workable the next day. I build some realy big speakers recently (like the ones you see on festivals) so after a couple I really need some time off the tools and loving the CNC it's my ideal solution. Have some nice time in your shop, really appreciate the content
I love it 🎉
Thanks! The title is the best ;)
Nice!
I have SO MANY glass jars with random screws and fasteners! I HAVE TO DO THIS! BTW, yes, I am jealous about the black MDF (I never knew the F stood for Ferrari :D)
Once you get started sorting - it's actually not that bad. I still have one or two jars to go through though :)
Class 👍
beautiful
Your parts chest looks great!The contrasting base and top look o.k.Never get rid of your 3 D printer, it seems like your life blood of your shop.
That turned out great 🙂👍
Thanks mate! See you soon!
What is the model/make of that bandsaw you've got.
Beautiful bro 👍
I see you are also using the Hongdui HD-KS22 .... Dennis, on the channel Hooked On Wood, has also covered their miter gauges.
Nice job.
Skitsnyggt precis som vanligt!
Tack! 🙏
Very nice. I love the fusion between the black MDF and the birch. I’m actually working on a black MDF entry closet that is fused width light Walnut, and the mix is nice too. And I am facing the same issue as you, no black plugs. I don’t actually have a 3D printer, do you think you could add them to your store? I’m sure a LOT of people are looking for black plugs to go for the festool KV Sys
i think the feet look nice. i like contrasts, the white is surely even better than walnut would have been. i used to do a lot of stuff made from black steel and birch panels too and i always liked the aesthetics.
2:00 aah, yes. The outdoors...nature's dust collection and hepa filter... N95 Approved.
Actually we can get the black MDF. However I either have to drive 2.5 hrs and pay $200 a sheet or pay $500 and get it local. I would love to try it but can not justify the cost to to find out if it works when I can buy seconds of walnut plywood for $60
Where do you buy your genomfärgad mdf? 😊
Calexico or Ceos :)
Hur tjock är plywooden som du använder till botten av lådorna?
It would be very interesting how you/he actually sorted the stuff. This is what I struggle with. All things considered you need to combine some types/sizes. But which ones... any experience from others?
Sort by length. Mix thicknesses
If your back is sore bending over the tablesaw, have you tried raising it up a bit so you're not as bent?
Will do!
