#woodworking #DIY
This is one of the most clever and realistic (from a DIY shop) YT woodworking video I’ve seen in years. Plus the video itself was perfect…concise, interesting, tool noise muted. You deserve 10x your 40k subs…. Keep making content this good and you’ll get there and then some. Well done sir.
Completely and entirely agree
I have to agree with you about how this guy made this cabinet! He did an awesome job, which I can repeat! Little to no waste is also admirable.
And no annoying stock music and jump clips. Very nice.
Agreed.
One of the few I haven't just jumped to the end, or cut off all together.
Innovative. Dash of elegance.
wow. subs doubled from 40k to 85K now - a month later !
The planning alone is amazing! I'd never have believed that 1 2x6 could yield so many parts! The craftsmanship exhibited is utterly genius!
For what it's worth, I really enjoy the idea of seeing what you can make off of just a single board. Alot of your ideas are showing me the power of a table saw and single board.
Making a beam then slicing it into boxes is a genius idea, I've never thought of that or seen it anywhere else. Very cool build!
e.g. Next Level Carpentry did it, not even building a beam but starting from square-section rainpipe, to chop it into small parts organiser boxes.
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
I love your resourcefulness. Everything from the miter saw cove to the tooth pic spacers. Making all the boxes into an initial beam was awesome and efficient. I know you said you didn’t like the back but I found it very impressive. You are an excellent creator good sir.
Ok so I actually have something to say now lol. That cove cutting on the miter saw is a mint operation! This is literally the first time I've ever seen it and it seems to work great.
As far as the safety aspect, I don't see anything wrong as long as you're following the normal safety precautions and don't try to take too big of a bite and flex the blade.
Also, you can pretty much do as much with a miter saw and a 2x6 as most folks can do with a shop full of tools and wood.
Me too! I've only seen coves cut on a TB saw, and I love this idea!!
I agree. Set the depth stop, take little vertical bites until it's cleared out and then clean up the rest. Seems safe. Really cool technique too.
Yep. I feel it is safer that way than the traditional way on a table saw. Anyway, nice project and clean result 👍
Works also on a table saw for making crown.
That turned out really nice. Good job. I like the back panel too, so don’t feel like that was a waste. What a great way to show that a project doesn’t have to be expensive to turn out good.
SOOO COOL, 72yrs old and still learning something every day. Thanks for your time.
Who cares if it doesn't work, it's beautiful! Nice job.
Very cool idea and execution. Most innovative parts storage I've ever seen, along with your use of materials. Definitely a few levels above the ordinary. Thanks for posting!! 72 year old retired carpenter.
That's how my cabinets were built in my 120 yr old house. Drawers boxes and shelves were all lapped to make solid surfaces.. Then held together with little bread nails... The hammer in kind.. Lol.. Nice work
The build is absolutely cool. Love the complete build. Even the cove is something new that I have ever seen.
That was the coolest thing I've ever seen. You made it with simple tools, and with limited materials. Fantastic work. Instant subscribe, and I hope a million more people discover you. Very well done sir
This is my kind of shop! I have very similar toolset, and love the idea of limited builds. Big shops/channels can't do this as well, because they have such different systems than most garage woodshops. I even appreciate the dust collector's excellent work on the miter saw, mine works about as well :D Keep doing what you love, because you love it, and your life will be a joy. Thanks so much for the extra effort of filming, narrating, editing, and uploading. Video work is a separate job in itself and you do that well too.
That was so awesome. Such a good design. Slicing up the long box into a bunch of drawers for efficiency is genius.
Ignore the haters. You have talent. Been a carpenter over 30 years and still get inspired by your thought process and execution. I do recommend advancing your dust control, lol, that will hurt later. But for now, keep it up. You have a gift!
This is an excellent cabinet, and a unique look with the flip out drawers. Also, as usual, a great explanation and illustration of the methods used. You're a good videographer!
If you're looking for a unique way to get those corners at the dowel rod to slide past each other, and didn't want to go with wax, you might try HDPE (high-density polyethylene) 'washers', a.k.a. milk jug plastic (or any plastic where the little recycle triangle on the bottom has a '2' inside it). Simply cut out a bunch of squares of the stuff from a cleaned milk jug or two, and pinch the stack together with a couple of clamps, on top of a square of scrap wood (which saves your workbench from having a drilled hole) and also clamped to the edge of a bench or table, so that the stack of plastic and wood is compressed and unmovable. Now find a small hole saw where the inside diameter of the saw (i.e., the size plug it removes from a hole) is the outside diameter of the plastic 'washers' you want to end up with. If you want the hole in your washers bigger than the drill bit in the hole saw (in other words, you want the hole in the washers to match your dowel rod), drill that out first through the HDPE squares and into the wooden square scrap at the bottom with the bigger diameter drill bit, then 'eyeball' center the hole saw's drill bit in the middle of that hole, and cut the washers out with the hole saw.
If you don't have a hole saw that small, you can make one with a chunk of electrical conduit and a wooden plug like a fatter dowel about half the length of the conduit chunk, that fits snugly into the conduit, and with a hole drilled down through the center of the dowel. Drill the hole in the HDPE first with a drill bit that's the diameter you want for the hole in your washers. Then epoxy the wooden plug into the chunk of conduit (or drill and screw it, or shoot a couple of brad nails through the conduit into the wood, etc.), and run a carriage screw up from the inside of the conduit, through the wooden plug, with the threaded end of the screw emerging from the top. Put a nut on that to hold the carriage screw tight to the plug, and chuck the exposed thread end into your drill. Running your improvised hole saw a few seconds while angled against a piece of sandpaper should sharpen the edge of the conduit enough to cut the HDPE. Now cut the outside of the washers, again 'eyeball' centering the outside cut around the hole that you've already drilled in the HDPE.
These 'reclaimed' HDPE washers are really slick (and I mean that not only as a euphemism for 'good', but also they really 'lubricate' a hinge joint like this. I would put 2 of them between each of the drawers, so that they not only slide against the wood, but against each other, for maximum 'slide-y slickness'.... 😎
Holey moley. I didn’t know I’d find a whole text book when reading the comments.
@@williamwalters3796 Eh, what can I say? It was late. I get 'wordy' when I'm tired.... lol
Bill you have a video making these washers?
@@djlhobbies2579 Unfortunately, I don't. But my overly-complicated explanation there was just based on tools I had on hand. Feel free to cut them however you can, because really the only requirement is that they fit into your project and don't hang out of the joint and show. Good luck!
As everyone else has said... This is about the coolest thing I've ever seen!
as a 70 year old, former corporate instructor and former construction company owner (and do-it-all grunt), I was ready to provide ample feedback on how you could have done things differently. However, while I know you know where things could have been different, I applaud you for your design and execution. Also, for sticking to your guns when making it a one board build. More trouble than I would personally find worth taking the time to do, to be honest. But, then, feeding all the critters every morning, keeping the fences mended, and getting the garden planted, tilled, weeded, and watered don't leave me a lot of luxury time to play in the woodshop (and for me it would be a true luxury to have a shop as beautifully outfitted as yours). Bravo, keep the content coming!
I get so excited when you say, "I'm going to try something kinda weird..." Then it's brilliant!
That is awesome! You learn by doing and experiment with different ways of doing stuff. I can tell you from about 48 years of experience that wood working is always about finding ways to fix problems and mistake. Keep up the great work!
Dude! This has got to be the coolest build I've seen you do! Great job!
My first thought was how in the world do you get much of anything out of a single 2x6. Time to start resawing. And making one large box and then cutting it to smaller sections. Genius.
Clever!!! Forget about using 1/4" plywood; your ingenious design and the resulting module is absolutely wood artistry. I applaud your creation.
I’ve been watching your work for a while. Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze, it’s inspiring! Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
@JoshWrightWoodworking what a brilliant design! I love the unique design...very well thought out. To add just a touch more flair and secure the dowels further...add a contrasting strip of wood around the front face of the frame.
I need to replay the video and take notes. Love the idea of using a French cleat system!
If I ever get lost in the Amazon, I want to be lost with you, one 12’ 2x10 and a some tight bond. You could build us a shopping mall!
Great video sir.
Just goes to show that tools only get you so far. Props for the ingenuity - working with what you've got.
I like the design. It will give you good service for many years. I have a similar small parts cabinet made a few years after WWII. It's more traditional with removable drawers and it is simple pine construction.
I absolutely love the aesthetics of this build. You are so ingenious.
The back pcs that make a panel that floats. . . Is real woodworking.
It's a great project with crummy wood. It looks fantastic. Great job!
That is the coolest use of a single 2x6 I have ever seen , great video!
I feel like the planning for this project probably took longer than the build. This is incredible. You got 1 great 2x6
Really nice video showing great use of jigs. Learning how to make a jig good enough to work, simple enough to make quickly, is an art in itself. Nice job!
I want to thanks you for putting the link in the corner like you said you would. So many people say that but don’t do it. It may not seem like a big deal but for me it’s the little details
I like how you think outside of the box and get the work done with minimal amount of tools. Really cool organizer. I think the fronts are more than strong enough for this application.
There are parts boxes, then there are your parts boxes. Brilliant and well done!
Very nice work! I am glad that you went ahead and did the whole project from the single 2 x 6. More of a challenge but definitely worth it, for bragging rights alone. You should be very proud. I hope your video will inspire others. Thanks for sharing.
If I only had more thumbs up option I could give. I love the one board challenges and how you utilize tools a hobbyist have versus what a pro would use. Great job. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
Good idea there young man. John Heinz was one of these first people I discovered on youtube about 8 years ago.I too have been inspired and have learned a lot from him. Cheers William
This is the push i needed to justify a table saw. Now if i could just find a place to buy this kind of creativity to use it!
I really like the way you designed this with the way drawers open. I would love to be able to make my own furniture like this! Your super talented! 👍✌️🤘
The shiplap in a frame can break glue joints when done with real wood if you don't leave at least 1/8 expansion room for their width, I had it happen to a set of doors I built when I was still in high school. The dowel hinge going with the grain would be the weak point. With all that said, you made a pretty nice looking organizer with minimal material.
Approved! Just bought the same table saw. But do need to buy a miter saw. Then this project will end up in my own garage shop and the kids bedrooms. Fun project to learn woodworking, while making a thousand mistakes without bankrupting myself.
I only recently discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. I am in awe of both your designs and processes. I love everything about this cabinet, and think the back panel is perfect. I wish you well and continued success.
I'm new to woodworking so my comments come from that space. I thought it was fantastic. Very well thought out. Great design and what I think are skills I'd like to have in the future.
Super impressive: Concept-, technique-, implementation-, videography-, narrative-, and editing-wise. Well done, sir!
really cool idea, finally something unique on youtube
@11:42 Well, getting the 1/4 plywood would work, the overlap looks really nice.
Nicely done Josh. Love the way you use basic shop tools to create. Also the video was well done - not once did I have the; 'Wish the camera had shown that' moment.
This video got my sub, the shiplap back may have been a lot of work especially if nobody will ever see it, but I really liked how it looked going together
This is a project I could replicate! It is cute, unique, cost effective, and something my son just might like!
This cabinet looks good and should serve you well for many years to come. cool build!
I learned so many little tricks watching this video. This isn't something I'd build cause I like to have removable drawers for my stuff, but the toothpicks were ingenious. Great video!
Well done young man!!! Sheesh…your creativity is absolutely amazing! Awesome job and keep up the great work!
You are definitely making huge strides. And your tools are upgrading along with your skill.
Good work. 👍
Great build! Love the attention to detail. The grain, the cove, the toothpick spacing, dowel swivels. Thanks for sharing, i will be adding this build to the the to do list. Very cool.
Awesome work man! Your ingenuity with problem solving a lack of specific tools is impressive and inspirational
That is pretty effin cool. I wasn't sure where it was headed, but more than satisfied by the end.
You sir, may have one of the loneliest fire pits on the planet!
…great idea, execution, and video!👊🏼
Clever. I really like the toothpick trick, gonna steal that one. Thanks for sharing! Looks great.
I always try to build projects without metal fasteners. Except for the screws on the dowels, this is a perfect example. Looks great, totally functional, and very cost conscious. I built a set of three pivoting drawers that are equally functionsal and cheap, but they didn't look as good as yours. Great job!
One of those videos where I wish I could give you more than a thumbs up. Great job, very inspiring!
You sir never cease to amaze. Your creativity and excellent problem solving solutions are inspiring to many woodworkers of all ages. Thank you for sharing your craft with the rest of us. 😎
This is cool as hell. For future when things get small in a miter saw, I use a sacrifice fence. It let's you cut surprisingly small pieces with the help of a dowel or scrap to hold them.
I love your ingenuity and being frugal. Awesome!
Very nice and very creative.
Here in Africa, getting the most out of every board is key. So more in this vein is welcome.
I think I'll steal your idea 👍
Well done.
Clever, and attractive design. For such a limited...and realistic... tooling set you accomplish a lot. One request: at the end of the video it would be good to get a total time breakdown. Thanks.
Very good video. Not just for the content but the editing which was also well done. I'm gonna swipe your drawer front style and go with ply on the rest in about 30 minutes.
Awesome. The continuous grain on the face looks great.
Great to watch how it was made and I bet it never gets old to watch the end product. Something you can be proud of. Edit: if not I’ll gladly take it of your hands.
Great job! I never would have guessed that the entire parts organizer could be built from a single 2x6. I subscribed as soon as I saw how you cut that cove in the front of the boxes.
The back was the best part imo. It looks old timey and handmade.
Thank you!
You never cease to impress me. Great build.
You are one creative dude! Loved the build. Can’t wait to get back to my shop to rummage through my scrap pile!
i love the build... i followed the video and made one yesterday and yes you could have bought a 1/4 inch panel but doing the back piece the way you did was a great idea i followed the same way
Cool beans 😎❤️ original, creativity 👍 the grain,upright popped. Just too Cool.
I wish I had the knowledge u have at ur age ... but I still have that desire . Very nice work ur doing 👍
Great ingenuity !
Another amazing project! You're such an inspiration to me as a woodworker. Thanks, and keep them coming!!
Excellent work Josh!! I think a plywood back would have been a mistake. You should stick to your 'rules'. It is your trademark or brand and I just love it. The shiplap slat back is awesome.
Art from Ohio
I love everything about this build. A very creative and unique approach to your problem solving- you have definitely inspired me! :)
I like your approach and the finished product looks nice and useful, without spending thousands of dollars on big name tools.
That is both beautiful and brilliant! It would be wonderful to know how it has survived since building it. It looks like an heirloom!
Making your own shiplap back panel was awesome!
That's a really awesome small parts cabinet!
Really cool project
Brilliant! I think that back panel was genius. Also, I should think cutting a cove on the miter saw would be safer that using the table saw. Less time-consuming too. No need to build a jig. Grain direction shouldn't be an issue with small parts. I'm going to make one of these for my own shop.
Well It is a cool looking cabinet and drawer setup. The cove on the miter saw is something I will have to try. My only gripe with this, and it's just my preference, is that I would want to be able to take the drawers out of the cabinet. I don't like the permanently attached, swing-out aspect. If I need a bunch of screws, I want to be able to just take my box (drawer) of screws to the work, then put it back when I'm done.
Maybe others have done the long glue up with the boxes then being "cut offs". I've never seen it before so that was my "wow" moment. You've removed my laast reason for not building my own parts organizer. I was dreading make a bunch of little boxes one at a time.
Thank you. Very well done and easy to see how you did it and to follow.
Finally an interesting video with a title you see everywhere and nothing new in it. Too bad it's not that easy for larger drawers but still the technique is very good and I will use it for sure. Keep up the good work man
Brilliant piece of art.Concise yet clear explanation.Subscribed.
Awesome work man! That is very very cool! You should run a contest where the first person to suggest you run a contest, wins that organizer. 😀
Nice project and look’s shows what can be done with a bit of will
Very nice build. Nice to see what you can do with one 2x6.
Very impressive work man. I subbed off the strength of it. I like your work and your videography both. Thanks.
Love this so much! Never thought of using a miter saw for cutting a cove.
You could use 1/4" ID nylon washers instead of toothpicks for better opening action, but then it wouldn't be all wood. Such a fun build!
Having that big saw is a huge asset. My little ten foot by ten foot shop couldn't have a saw like that in it. Lol.
That's a great build. Love it.
If you're worried about the strength of the wood? Maybe treat everything with some Tung oil or lacquer finish.
You'd be amazed how much strength a good hard finish adds.
that looks really good love it, so much so i will be building one just like it, great job
