You should do a video testing your drawer slides strength.
I believe you talked about it in scrap bin, but didn’t you say if weight is a concern, just make slides bigger? Love this box, man.
@@todd_halfacre silly place to hide bars of gold anyway lol!
I love that drawer design. So smart!
Hey John, Bought the plans and can't wait to make it once my local lumber yard opens up. One request, would you be able to add a cut list for 5'x5' sheets? For some reason my lumber yard sells 5'x5' birch plywood 30% cheaper per sq. foot than 4'x8'.
I'm surprised John's drill and impact driver are not made out of wood. This guy is unbelievably talented.
LOL! Why not John?
Forgot to use duct tape.
don't forget the table saw :)
@@davidjames7323 I believe his table saw is made of plywood.
I was thinking the same thing. They must call him Mr. Plywood or something. Kind of like that TV commercial where the lady gets carried away wrapping her gifts and ends up wrapping everything in the house, including the dog. Everything in his shop is custom made out of plywood. Obviously very talented.
I’ve watched this before as well as several other toolbox builds and this is by far completely unparalleled! And he makes it with his collection of quality power shop tools which he’s also made! This guy is amazing!
The work ethics, softness of voice, tidy look of workshop, wooden instruments, his appearance - every single thing is decent, impeccable and in a highly professional style. The videography is excellent as well. Simple and easy to do project. 10/10 Johnny.
does anyone else find this mans videos very satisfying to watch? because i sure do! love this channel!!
I do, but damn some times his hands are way to close from the blade.
Nope, you’re an anomaly there.
@@morpheus130586 Experience and being aware take away perceived dangers.
I wish I was just a tenth of a woodcrafter as he is. I'm watching this in awe
@@morpheus130586 Sometimes that has to do with the camera and angle of the shot. Makes it look closer than it actually is.
Been pencil-ticking metal straight-edge rulers & trying to erase them clean for years. Heard the term _story stick_ many times from finish carpenters but _never_ thought to ask what it was. Didn't realize I was actually making them in a very crude fashion until you commented about using wood with a good edge as one. Had to Pause the video so the headbanging could commence! Talk about a V8 moment! Thank you! That tidbit alone was worth all the time spent with you and Neil! LOL
Very nice. Shallow drawers are definitely the way to go. I'm gonna purchase the plans. It will make a good out feed table for my table saw.
Yeppers. Dual purpose and hard to collect junk in those drawers if they are only deep enough for a single tool.
It’s important to note that this cabinet is prone to tipping with heavy items in it. I would recommend that you include attached security straps or fasteners in the back. I love my copy of this cabinet and it works and looks wonderful. Great video
Most tool drawers are a little tippy. Put the real heavy stuff on the bottom and only open one drawer at a time and it's usually fine. Though if you normally keep this against a wall, a strap or two is pretty easy insurance.
I make fitted bedrooms for a living (i think you call them closets in the U.S ) with many drawer units, I have to say it's a real pleasure watching you make those drawer units .... a real craftsman at work , well done.
It is obvious you have talent and enjoy your work. Your comments and little tid bits told me you can walk the walk! I enjoyed your sharing of this toolbox
They'll say you make it look easy. I think you make it look like years of experience, [ polished patience & accuracy ] make it look easy. I'm still woefully practising! Beautiful project!
Wow John! Simple in appearance and design is truly the King in diy. This is one of my favorite projects you've built so far, and I have been following along for several years now. I really love this design. My grandfather often said start with the complicated and work towards the simple. And this is clearly well thought out and streamlined. Thanks for sharing and doing what you do.
As a tool and die machinist the Gerstner and Son toolbox’s are a sign you have made it as a machinist. I under why you’d want on and know how great they are but I have never been able to bring myself to buying on and tough I’d rather build one first to fit my needs
I have yet to find a toolbox that fits my needs.
@@KipdoesStuff ... know the feeling that’s why have a 72” double stocked with locker, service carts x4 (custom tribology service box, PdM infrared vibration ultrasonic box with $100k in just one draw, air tool cart with compressor built on it, single draw work surface) then at home 56” double stacked with two lockers, yellow dewalt 36” double stacked, another custom compressor service cart like work for air tools, a 8 draw and short locker 42” box. I have a toolbox and tool issues.Still need another as they are getting too full lol.
He's helping people improve their lives by showing them they can fill a need at a fraction of the cost.
I built this for my garage rather than buying a 44" steel cabinet from HD/HF. Very happy with the outcome. I did go with traditional slides. It works great. Thanks for the content and plans!
Really like your home made, plywood, full extension slides! Never seen that done before!
Neither had I, a really good idea. I wish I had known how to do that ten years ago when I was fitting out my workshop.
Anyone else like the shots of the iron. I found that surprisingly enjoyable.
This looks like our next project. We need a nice toolbox and even if we use quality plywood and hardwoods, it's still less expensive than anything built by Mac Tools or Snap-On. It's more rewarding to build your own anyway. Thank you for the inspiration.
I have a pretty decent mechanical aptitude....but after watching this I am now questioning everything.
You make it look so easy. A true mark of a genius and a craftsman. Well done, sir.
It is a pleasure and an education to watch you work.
That's' an awesome box not only for tools but for anybody who has a collection of a lot of small things - except of course, not for things that one would want on display.
Awesome! The drawer slide idea is very smart.
I do not work with carbohydrates, with the exception of lock installations. Seriously, awesome video. I most like the various jigs and the router table etc... made from lumber rather than store bought... even the runners for tool cabinet... if one EVER broke, no worries about the manufacturer going out of business or discontinuing that model! NICE job explaining the processes.
I’ll be glad when I get the plans…. This guy is an wood educator…and at my skill level, this build will be fun AND educational
I thought the thumbnail had some vertical slat genius, JH invention included. Nah, just plywood pattern. I'm glad I saw that small pic, and wondered what the great idea was.
I finally visited the plans page after 3 years. Thanks, John for all those gifts. a nice collection of fine ideas. Seeing the steps it occurs to me I need that. Thanks for all your effort at YTU. You are one of my favorite Professors.
I love the no nonsense just get it done approach....it's why I subscribed several years ago....nice build John
Man that straight line trick with the tape always make me nervous on plywood. Worst splinters ever come from plywood. Gives me chills every time
Superbe réalisation ! des procédés remarquables de précision ! j'adore Merci et encore Bravo
what an amazing workshop youve created
Wow! Homemade drawer slides! Amazing,
Gorgeous work! Quite inspiring! During quarantine, I redesigned my never-been-touched-since-1961 kitchen on paper. You know the original setup.. clothes washer next to stove, clothes dryer next to fridge in the dining room, no dishwasher, galley kitchen with blank, empty wall at the end. Including the dining room, its 9' by 24'. Oh, and no pantry!
The original few cabinets were stick built in place and rock solid, but not configured well. I can see this as a cab next to the sink or along blank wall. Something to do next lockdown... rubs hands together happily!!!
Edit to add.. also happily a new subscriber!
I have been following you for a couple of years now, and I have to tell you that your amazing!!! Keep the great projects coming!!!
I'm very impressed with your work . I would have liked to have a teacher like you in my school .
One thing that I understand: the cuts must be VERY precise and a tablesaw is mandatory.
I just purchased this.
I'm looking forward to building
Did you have any problems opening it? What application did you have to use? Thank you
I watch all your videos good stuff man I’m a jiujitsu guy but I been doing wood flooring your 20 years and I just started like 5 years ago making furniture like you and some other guys
Bonjour, Superbe réalisation toute en bois, J'AIME BEAUCOUP. Un grand salut de la France.👍👍👍👌
This was a very polished, well done video. Thank you for the effort, I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It was a nice wind down from an entire day spent replacing all the rusty brake lines in my 99' truck, which was not much fun. You are one of my favorite channels sir, been watching since the wooden bench vice and you never disappoint. Always enjoyed your humor as well. That one where you spun around in the back yard with the camera cracked me up!
Hmm. I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee w/a 4.0 that needs a new water pump - "Got Spare Time?"
@@johnbesharian9965 sorry man, to busy keeping my own jalopys on the road...haha
@@chrishoesing5455, LOL! "Oh Drat!"
Since the onset of the pandemic my free time for YT content has evaporated. I realized after seeing this how much I missed / enjoyed your content. This is a great build.
I don't know that I'm ever going to get the bandwidth to make one, but I'm getting the plans anyway. The build article is awesome as well, and I appreciate the subtlety of your video edits - you continue to get better at this part of your craft as well.
Keep up the great work!
That is a beautiful piece of workmanship
I think your wooden drawer slides are the most lovely idea in this project - but there are many others
Your table saw is another lovely build, especially the fence.
At last we see where the wooden drawer slides went. Also, at 14:33 we get to see a single cameo appearance of your wooden vice grips, excellent on both.
That was really enjoyable to watch..very well shot, edited and narrated..Norm Abrams would watch this before making his tool chest
I was going to replace the cheap drawer slides on my workbench with full extension slides and not be happy with the cost... Until I saw this. Thanks for sharing your ingenious ideas. The hot melt glue was a nice touch too.
Hey, I just bought the plans and am going to build this tomorrow. Thank you for making the plans, the article and the build video available. I'm excited about the drawer slides too, just like everybody else. I always bought the full extension ones before. I'll be glad to learn how to create these ones. If all goes well I'll use this plan to make a whole bank of cabinets of different sizes along one wall of my shop. I think they look great.
How did it go? Any impressions of how they hold weight?
I wish I had the talent you possess, in just your little finger. 😮
Your work is very impressive.
love this. and the casual use of everything else that john built himself
Compliment! Your manual skills seem to be unlimited ... Greetings from Austria
This whole video is like a subliminal advertisement of this channel. The table saw, table saw fence, panel jig, push stick, miter saw station w/ zero clearance insert, workbench, F-style clamps, bar clamps, vice grip clamps, sanding block, router table...all of it home built, and that's just what is actually used in this project. I need to stop watching and start doing. Thanks for the inspiration and plans, John.
Jody Burton Very first time I saw those nifty sliders as well.
@@UCVoMg8eTQXaRN_RA45PjSXA - Indeed, you put down in words all (and more) the points that I got, and in much better English. Thanks to you too.
Yes and now I feel so far behind On making my shop tools. Better get on it but first I have to look up the videos to do it lol
Same thing I noticed as he moved around the shop.
Future video - John builds a brad nailer out of zebrawood and lignum vitae.
P.S. FYI I own all tools & power tools to complete a project like this plus I truly feel their is nothing like making anything from scratch materials. Right, Right!!!
I like the "best homemade table saw fence" plug 👍
A few decades of tips, tricks, and craftsmanship packed into this video 👊
Re: edge banding, I learned to "tack" the banding in place by pressing the hot iron against the banding in spots along its length to temporarily hold it in place before sliding the iron along the edge. Otherwise the iron melts the glue and drags the banding forward. Tacking the banding in place before final hot-pressing prevents this.
The same tactic has been used for years and years while covering model airplanes with ultra/monokote! It’s a major helper keeping things together like that
I am actually impressed you still have all your finger. The amount of time you are pushing your hand straight to the blade is incredible.
This was inpressive but i was more impressed by all the home made clmaps and stuff. Maestro! I think this out of my league haha
Anyone wondering how much these can hold, John posted another video about this build on his “Scrap Bin” channel basically at the same time as this. The short answer is “a lot.” One of them has 12 pounds of sockets and a few big boxes of screws in em and seems fine.
You sir are a true craftsman!
Very nice! Reminds me of a machinist’s cabinet!
You are very good, and you have done very well
Yeah.... yours turned out much nicer than mine. Haha great job John.
John's is great, but missing that 'unnecessary walnut, flat head screw Drew' touch.
But yours is much more economical since it's likely built from your neighbors doghouse
@@IbraheemMoizoos LOL
You guys both are so creative! I am inspired just to watch you guys work. Haha
What an awesome and affordable storage cart!! Love the drawer slides, because they are so affordable compared to buying the roller ball bearing style.
John, you are very talented. Thank you for the video. I purchased the plans.
Very cool staff! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm continually impressed and amazed by your ingenuity and resourcefulness. I would be curious to know how the drawer slides have held up over the years. I'm wondering if you considered using hardwood for longevity?
Effective and powerful cordless tools (such as your circular saw) have almost banished cable powered units for many tasks.
Thanks for uploading this video. I am a great fan of your work and only wish I had the time and money to be able to do what you do. Having said that I still get a great deal of satisfaction watching a true craftsman at work. 👍👍👍👍
Lovely build.
great design without any fancy hardware.
Incredible. Excellent build. Thanks for posting.
Hey John! I watch all your videos, but don't typically comment because I see you get plenty of comments, but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this build. I was just thinking about making a tool chest a week ago, and then this video comes out. Great editing, voice over and build. Nicely done. Thanks for the post!👍🏻
Awesome. Nice build. Great idea with the handles. I am going to do that to my own workshop cabinet I built that has been waiting for draw fronts for over a year.
You are remarkable Mr. Heisz!
You make it look easy, a true sign of skill.
Very, very good job.
I wished I could do something like this, it sure looks gratifying.
One thing I am curious about is how much load can fill in the drawers. But this is awesome fine craftman there by far. I love this!
Great video. Thank you.
I love that hot glue tip. Great idea for a quick hold
tiene un nuevo subscriptor, me encanto su trabajo!! le mando un saludo desde Oaxaca Mexico!!
Fine workmanship...
God bless ALL of us!
There are so many things I like about this video. I'm definitely going to have to get these plans. I enjoy making shop projects and I'm finding myself needing more drawer storage. I'm always putting it off because I don't want to spend the money on drawer slides and hardware. This solves that. I need to make these drawer slides. And those handles look great.
I just priced some drawer slides, now I'm building them like this.
Beautiful
Thank you, Brad!
Since I live in an apartment I would love to buy this as a kit.
Always taking things to another level.
Good job Jhon !
Beautiful video. Nice sharing. Like it
I love watching you practice your craft, John. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John. Very nicely planned and executed!
Brad nailer is king ! Nice work !
WELL DONE! Nice design, good construction methods, and a wonderful video production. Also, thanks for showing us the minor adjustments needed when building any project.
Quality really good build
Nice project, thanks for posting it.
That's beautiful. Looks like good sturdy construction as is normal for you too.
If you can cut a straight line with a circular saw without a straight edge you're the baddest wood worker ever!
Loved the slides 👌🏼
And that cabinet it’s not going to break anytime soon.
great work, brother!
I love the drawer slides. I want to try that.
You are the master of wood ! Another amazing piece of craftsmanship. Well done John
I'd be interested in a follow up video down the road. Just to see how the slides hold up over time under load. I guess you could always make more and replace as needed.
