This is fantastic. I appreciate your snarky messages, and you not editing out "oopsies" such as knocking things over. That is definitely a familiar feeling! Your various table saw jigs are quite nifty. Clearly you are a professional. Thank you for this video.
It is really refreshing to see a guy using serviceable salvage. Maybe it is true that we assign a moral value to our financial interests but I think you do the right thing.
i love you videos, i've been woodworking since i was 10 and i'm 14 and i've been making things for my family, i learn from your videos so keep up the good work
Great video and a wonderful way to make good use of scraps for any type of storage - workshop, garage, etc. I especially liked that you included video of your cutting and construction methods as you went. I learned as much from watching how you went about cutting as I did from your construction method for these. Thanks for another fantastic teaching session!
:D UA-cam money! I love Matthias's examples of thrift and re-use of wood materials. He sets a great example for how old wood can be made into very useful basement / workshop things.
Look man come to jersey one day I will fill you a truck of 3/8 scrap that will last you a year bring a trailer its luan underlay I'm serious I can only build so many drawers with this for my shop the rest goes in the dumpster
Absolutely professional......... But i think it's not worth it to take all that time assembling those boxes while you can use some screws and telescopic slides instead. But after all.... Matthias is a pro no matter what are our opinions. Thanks Matthias.
it is the first time I see you been hit by the wood, nice to see your job and make clear there are risk in woodworking but lots of fun. Thank you Matthias
I don't mean any disrespect to Matthias as he is one of my favorite UA-cam wood workers. I always look for the humor in things and can't help to mention the length of his sleeves (awkward) and when he is batching out a stack of drawer parts haphazardly causing them to fall to the floor! Oh, and that geared contraption that he uses to make the box joints is nothing short of brilliant! On a serious note, I'd like to request that Matthias could make a video for us less informed with electrical use, how exactly to safely repurpose a small motor such as a washing machine motor a/c motor, etc... for use as a wood working tool motor and explaining exactly how to know what kind of motor can be used along with how to hook it up properly, etc.. That shared knowledge would be much appreciated!
I have a few videos about motors. But because these are all different, what you need is good understanding of motors. If I told you about one, that won't help for another motor.
If your box joint jig makes it take less time to cut them than to put them together, it's doing its job. Nice vid! Love your stuff, great content as always.
Matt, you never cease to amaze me. Your skills in making tools and projects are astronomically great. But dude you might want think about slowing down you could lose a finger and not even know it as fast as you appeared to be moving. LOL
Nice compact design. Like the half glue up on the drawers. I've done that before on picture frames. Makes it so much easier to keep/get square. Clamp pile!
Matthias, your use of the term "dado" for the drawer bottom groove is absolutely correct in wood joinery terms. Here is a link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dado_(joinery) . And a rabbet (or rebate, as our cousins in England insist) is when the groove is on an edge of the board and only has one wall.
Call me old and battered at 65, but that wore me out watching the amount of work that went into the 10 drawers. I am sure I would have made them another 100 % bigger with a partition in each and stopped at 4 or 5. Or, maybe just a shelf to admire my junk or simply used cardboard boxes.
Oh no, now you've raised my consciousness and I realize I need a new tool -- a groove stack! New tools are good, I'll look on Amazon and see how much they cost.
I'm going to build something like this into some of my interior walls with nice door panels to hide them. This was some great info in this vid. Outstanding build friend. 👍 😉
4:23 Did you see that - after he stumbled, he moved it out of the way. Maybe I should start doing that too. I can stumble 3 times and I still don't move the damn thing.
You have it so easy Matthias, you actually _like_ working with wood. The rest of us, we just use it because it is so cheap. Not quite dirt cheap, but it literally grows on trees. We have to decide if buying plastic boxes wouldn't be more reasonable, and then we'd wonder if all that stored junk is worth more or less than the storage containers....
If you make your own stuff to save money, you probably won't. Because it only saves you money if the time you spend making it qualifies as free time, if it feels like work, well, paid work would get you further. Also at least over here, buying the wood to make stuff often already costs as much as buying the ready made stuff. Of course, recycling old wood makes it into a completely different story. Nonetheless: if you don't enjoy this kind of thing, chances are it won't save you money either. As for me: I do. Enough to even be willing to lose money on it if that's what it takes to get me more shop time :P
When I was an apprentice we used a "Verleimständer" to assemble boxes such as this. Real useful and does not take up a lot of space in terms of floor area.
Next week, "I needed a new house and car, so I used this scrap wood I had laying around and built a 4x4 and this modern 5 bed house." The ultimate recycler! Well done Matthias.
I've seen that he's got at least two *large* drawers/bins, each appearing to be approximately a 2ft/61cm cube, filled with clamps of every size and kind. But there truly is no such thing as enough clamps...
Us cyclists have a formula for how many bikes is enough. b=n+1 where b is the number of bikes one needs and n is the number of bikes one has. I think it may apply to clamps too.
I love the "for the pedantic" annotation on the video, for whatever reason it just tickled my fancy this morning so thanks for being awesome you fancy tickler you!
A very good idea for storing many things.especially if you have very little space like in my case.a big thank you for sharing mathhias,from greece.thumbs up!!!
Great timing! I was thinking about storage for canning jars (full and empty), this would be a heavy duty way... and I can make them only counter height to making lifting easier. Thanks Matthias!
Nothing beats the satisfaction of making your own stuff but I didn't have the time. I built the same thing but I bought crates from ikea for $7 each and just used those as my drawers on a home built frame.
Very good Matthias! And don't mind comments like "get plastic for 10$" - this boxes especially if properly varnished will live forever => TCO is close to zero :)
after mking the boxes, I figured, next time just buy plastic boxes. Then looked around, best I could find was for $20 each, but those would not be very strong.
Dear , i was going to make the same project, and this help me so much :) u build it in v good strong structure also it can be covered with 3M veneered MDF to got cabinet look thanks for that greet job , i like all of your videos which inspired me to reclaim wood as so
I had to rewind you hitting your finger a few times, I was amazed that you didn't skip a beat when you did it. When do we get to see some more dumpster raids?
I love how Matthias is always either building tools to make storage, or making storage for those tools.
Every thing Matthias makes has a 100-year service life. Admirable, in my view.
And made from mostly 10-15 year old stuff! =D
Guy at the new wood store: „Who are you, i‘ve never seen you around here?“
Bert Bertmann haha
He sounded so disappointed when he said he'd have to use some new wood.
I would have called that a dado as well, but because of your edit-in remark I looked it up and now know the difference between dado and groove. Thanks

I don't know how you do it but I've seen you make boxes so many times and yet every time it's just so great to watch!
And for your child - 9 million breathes in a year - "yet every time it's just so great to watch!"
Same here.
i love you videos, i've been woodworking since i was 10 and i'm 14 and i've been making things for my family, i learn from your videos so keep up the good work
Good stuff tyler keep it up man.
Same here. Matthias taught me a lot. I was well into my 20s when I discovered his videos and they are the best to pickup tips and tricks.
Well into my 40s. Been woodworking since I was 8. I still learn loads from Matthias.
Tyler Norman: There will be no stopping you
same

I learned as much from watching how you went about cutting as I did from your construction method for these. Thanks for another fantastic teaching session!
yeah, those improvised fences were ingenious!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who makes mistakes,drops the project pieces and work in a constant mess. Keep up the good work.
i cant imagine making finger joints and then also using OSB in the same project. What a guy.
Excellent storage cabinet, I really like that special gear tool you used when cutting the box joints.
3:48 nice to see you have a fully functioning thumb detector.
Sorry... that was funny seeing your reaction
allan walker, Is the thumb detector his actual thumb?
The likes
Nice
Aah another AVE watcher
NEW WOOD ! Being rather extravagant ;-)
I know, look at Richie Rich over here.
:D UA-cam money! I love Matthias's examples of thrift and re-use of wood materials. He sets a great example for how old wood can be made into very useful basement / workshop things.

Living on the edge....lol
9:08 I loved that. Perfect exposition of your thought process, in 10 seconds and 0 words.
Somehow, I expected an even smaller bandsaw to turn up...
Watching a new Matthias woodworking video is always a great way to start a weekend.
How is it that you always have scrap when all you ever use is scrap?
LMAO
He is a master of dumpster diving.
He uses left over scrap from the scrap he uses

This is my favorite woodworking channel to watch on YT. ......Of coarse this is the only woodworking channel on YT I watch, but still it's my fav. =)

@@matthiaswandel Thanks Matthias, this makes sense and I have enjoyed all of your videos! Thank you.
I love the preciseness regardless of the screw ups. A professional carpenter.
Yes , don't re- shoot!!! Use your time to do your great job. Thanks for the fantastic and well explained tips.
Say it ain't so. Matthias purchased new wood. LOL
If he starts using Kreg jigs, I think we can assume Matthias has been replaced by evil robot Matthias.
Your work always surprises me with its accuracy
If your box joint jig makes it take less time to cut them than to put them together, it's doing its job. Nice vid! Love your stuff, great content as always.
Pedant warnings make me so happy. Thanks Matthias!
It always gives me great pleasure to watch and learn from you, Matthias. - Cheers.
I'm not sure why, but I find the sped-up sounds of the power tools cutting through wood thoroughly relaxing.
Great storage idea. I like your solution to cut the hand holes on the bandsaw. As always, very interesting and entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
Matt, you never cease to amaze me. Your skills in making tools and projects are astronomically great. But dude you might want think about slowing down you could lose a finger and not even know it as fast as you appeared to be moving. LOL
Another good project and build from (mostly) scrap wood. The bandsaw height adjustment was definitely innovative.
I love your sense of humor. You are by far the funniest woodworker on yt
I love you Matthias Wandel - you are brilliant to watch
Love the adjustable gauge @ 3:03 for measuring draw bottoms...simple yet Genius !
Nice compact design. Like the half glue up on the drawers. I've done that before on picture frames. Makes it so much easier to keep/get square. Clamp pile!
You should write a book for teachers in shop class called "Don't Throw that Toothpick Away!"
that toothpick could be a mast for a ship in a bottle. :P
For those who are wondering... 1:55 is a grove (with the grain) and 6:39 is a dado (across the grain).
Great job, as usual. Thanks for passing along your designs, your knowledge, and your time saving shortcuts.
Matthias, your use of the term "dado" for the drawer bottom groove is absolutely correct in wood joinery terms. Here is a link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dado_(joinery) . And a rabbet (or rebate, as our cousins in England insist) is when the groove is on an edge of the board and only has one wall.

you are a MACHINE!

Nice to see a master at work. Very nice work sir.
Oh no, now you've raised my consciousness and I realize I need a new tool -- a groove stack! New tools are good, I'll look on Amazon and see how much they cost.
Deja Vu! When I was a kid, back in the late 70s, I build a similar rack out of 2x4’s to hold file storage boxes and comic boxes. Cool.
I'm going to build something like this into some of my interior walls with nice door panels to hide them. This was some great info in this vid. Outstanding build friend. 👍 😉
You are the best. I love your workmanship.
4:23 Did you see that - after he stumbled, he moved it out of the way. Maybe I should start doing that too. I can stumble 3 times and I still don't move the damn thing.
I really enjoy the sped up sound of a mallet hammering wood, it feels very satisfying.

Love how he posts all these on his website it's brilliant 👐
You make it look hard and easy at the same time! Thank you and good work!
You made the rack 20 years ago? I didn't know 12 year old's were that good a wood craft. Haha! Thanks for the show.
Great as always. I really liked how you dropped and or knocked over some things to try to look more like us.
Love your reused tree. Thank you for sharing your amazing video
I got tired just watching you do that. Huge effort.
If you ever do take a sponsor it should be a wood glue supplier. You go through so much!
Your postings are always interesting. Thanks.
There's something very satisfying about hearing him use the mallet in the sped up portions.
Next week, "I needed a new house and car, so I used this scrap wood I had laying around and built a 4x4 and this modern 5 bed house." The ultimate recycler! Well done Matthias.
There is no way he would make a car without using the pantorouter o.O
Nice work, you can never have too much storage!
love how u cout all the notches
Yet another great video Matthias! And thanks for adding closed captions.
That must have used up every clamp you have, which proves that there's no such thing as *enough* clamps...
Did you see the curvy board video? I think he didn't need nearly all the clamps.
I've seen that he's got at least two *large* drawers/bins, each appearing to be approximately a 2ft/61cm cube, filled with clamps of every size and kind. But there truly is no such thing as enough clamps...
Sometimes using all clamps you have is a hassle. Storing away 30 heavy clamps can be work.
lil do u know how many clamps he has.
Us cyclists have a formula for how many bikes is enough. b=n+1 where b is the number of bikes one needs and n is the number of bikes one has. I think it may apply to clamps too.
Great storage idea-- I'm in the process of moving my shop and these are perfect for all that random "stuff" in the new, sadly smaller one.
I love the "for the pedantic" annotation on the video, for whatever reason it just tickled my fancy this morning so thanks for being awesome you fancy tickler you!
You could store a lot of scrap wood in those.. :) I do like all the power tool tips you share for efficiency and speed. Thanks!
i love how dedicated you are. keep up the good work!!
Love your work. You’re so innovative and logical.
A very good idea for storing many things.especially if you have very little space like in my case.a big thank you for sharing mathhias,from greece.thumbs up!!!
Great timing! I was thinking about storage for canning jars (full and empty), this would be a heavy duty way... and I can make them only counter height to making lifting easier. Thanks Matthias!
Nice, I don’t know how you keep track of all the pieces, you do make it look vary easy
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You can almost hear the pain in your heart when you said "so I'll have to use some new wood too"
A professional man. How long did it take you to complete them?
9 minutes and 45 seconds, apparently. dude's a beast.
Береги руки Матиас.
Они у тебя золотые....
Wow very nice ! Love your table saw sled with the gears on it , really smart !! 😉👍
SEB TECH DIY He has videos on the making of those. :)
A person can never have too many clamps. I’m not even a wood maker and that’s what I’ve learned so far.
It's always nice to have a small bandsaw!
Werner Guerra And a huge one.
Matthias graceful af in this one
In normal circumstances you would be called a hoarder, but because you are so excellent at organising things you're just a engineer
Nothing beats the satisfaction of making your own stuff but I didn't have the time. I built the same thing but I bought crates from ikea for $7 each and just used those as my drawers on a home built frame.
Jason Showell Same here. Nice video anyway.
Having 10 more places to put odd junk is what made Ikea a multi billion dollar business.
Great to see your back and OK will watch vid later
A pleasure to watch as always
Seeing them side by side at the end - awesome. What used to pass as acceptable to you alongside your new standards.
Thanks for the easy storage building idea.
Very good Matthias! And don't mind comments like "get plastic for 10$" - this boxes especially if properly varnished will live forever => TCO is close to zero :)

Good job Matt!
Wow, from the looks of your shop, you really needed more storage for your junk. :) Good stuff. Oh, deep breaths.
Mathias, this is a masterpiece!
its always amazing to see what you can make out of scrap wood
Dear , i was going to make the same project, and this help me so much :)
u build it in v good strong structure
also it can be covered with 3M veneered MDF to got cabinet look
thanks for that greet job , i like all of your videos which inspired me to reclaim wood as so
Very nice job. Hard working man
Very nice project and the boxes look very sturdy but you should try getting ride of a bit of junk sometimes...
It's worth the extra time and effort for a personal custom item.
you can hear the sigh of pain right before he said "I'll have to use some new wood, too," classic Matthias
I had to rewind you hitting your finger a few times, I was amazed that you didn't skip a beat when you did it. When do we get to see some more dumpster raids?
Nice to see Mathias messing up a little, and restore a little bit of self respect :-)
I always really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work
Thumbs up for curly maple riser board at the band saw!
