- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- In this episode, We're building compact cabinets with drawers. These units will be built into the knee walls in the space above our garage but they would be the perfect solution for the layout of a tiny house, cottage or off grid cabin.

Your shop organization is phenomenal 😲👏🏻💪🏻
Thank you :-)
We get better with age. You are living proof of that with your great building projects.
Thank you for taking us along with you.
Thank you -)
Love your cabinet/drawer design! Just what we need for our A-frame cabin!
Glad you like it!
Brilliant! The workshop looks simply amazing too! Merry Christmas to you both and the 4 paws on the ground and the other 4 paws up in Heaven. 🥰
Thank you :-)
That is some beautiful work, Boss! And those drawer pulls are gorgeous!
And I have to say, your organization skills are second to none!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Lori and Tildy!
Thank you Mary. I appreciate that :-)
You make the best decisions and videos of anyone. Down to earth and humble
I very much appreciate that. Thank you.
Im not sure what's more impressive, the cabinets for utilizing all the space or your work shop organization.
Good evening from Copperhill Tn. Remember, we will leave the light on!
Good evening :-)
Great job JC. Like I told you before,” you are a finish carpenter “. Interior work, cabinets, furniture fixtures are no problem for you. I had a brother who was in that class. Take care my friend, God Bless, Merry Christmas.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you :-)
Well thought out and executed nicely! Thank you for taking time to build, film, edit and post this video.
Thank you :-)
its a great day when i see a vid from the Boss
Thank you for saying so :-)
You are the master carpenter, That is all I can say.
Thank you :-)
A good day to you all once again JC. Another great video and I really enjoyed watching it. I'm looking forward to your next video.... whenever you're able to fit it in with your schedule. Love to all and may God continue to bless you JC, Lori and tildy❤❤❤
Thank you Archie and Happy Holidays to you.:-)
And happy holidays to you as well J C
Hi Boss! Its been almost 18 months since I watched your videos. I missed watching them! ❤
Last yearI moved out of apartment and donated of all my oak and ikea furniture to a local thrift shop that support a women/childrens shelter. I was homeless and living in my small RV from June 2022 until 4 weeks ago. With a little assistance from local military veteran organization, I had a safe place to park and got financial counseling. My military disability finalized in March and I saved money to close on my brand new home 4 weeks ago. 3/4 acres, 50% wooded lot. My 982 sq ft almost tiny home has a steeply pitched roof and gives the impression of A frame from a distance. Sleeping loft is closed off to downstairs. Planning to knock out that wall in spring. Your drawer build is an inspiration as I did not want to purchase dressers for the loft and decrease the floor space. Too heavy to get upstairs 😅. Build will span the entire length of loft on both sides to serve as storage for clothing and seasonal items. I am living out of Ikea Samla bins which served as storage in the RV
Ill never be able to drink 😂 as much coffee as you to save up for an organized workshop (pole barn= workshop/RV garage build in future).
I dont know what happened to Frankie. But I am sure he's smiling at you and remembering all the fun you had together.
Much love and aloha to you!
Happy to hear things are going well for you now and I wish you the very best with your journey. Welcome back to my channel :-)
I did the same thing in my house in Vt. The only difference was that the top drawer opened down for a writing shelf. I placed a small unit in each of the kids rooms with a small desk in the middle. They could sit and do homework or color etc with a place for all those crayons and markers that they could close and keep the room looking neat. I didn't make mine but from the looks of them yours are stronger than the ones I bought. They are a great idea!
Oh these cabinets are just beautiful Boss. I love the triangular design. You are both talented and practical.
Thank you my friend :-)
. the organized screws system is a dream come true. I would be so calm looking in a book to find what I need. so cool
Always a pleasure to watch the master at work. 😊❤ God bless you both
Thank you and God Bless :-)
Looks awesome! Nice to see another backwoods logic video! 👍
Thank you and they'll be more to come!
Your drawer design is a brilliant use of space !!!
You do some beautiful wood work!
Thank you very much!
That is really beautiful work. Lori, you are blessed to have such a wonderful builder in your life. And you working right beside him is definitely a plus. I just loved seeing Tildy and hearing her talk. You three are very special and I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We serve such an awesome God and you two and your work ethic and skills has been blessed by our Lord. Everything you do is exceptional. God bless.
Thank you so much and many blessings to you and yours :-))
Great use of space and nice carpentry. Thanks for the video!
Thank you :-)
The cabinets are fabulous all the way around, great use of normally wasted space and beautiful. I’d love to do that in my attic, but I have zero woodworking skills and I’m too old to lug anything up in the attic as heavy as all this would be. If one could come back in another life as who they wanted to be, I think I’d choose being you. You’re so talented in many fields and one of the most organized people I’ve ever seen.
Thank you kindly :-)
always puts a big smile on my yap
Ya know Bossman, part of your charm is your modesty… and your carpentry skills. Most of your projects, are marvels. (Don’t let it go to your head!) (kidding)
Thank you my friend. I will admit this is one of the best ideas I've ever come up with :-))
@@thebossoftheswamp Laurie, is the best idea you ever came up with! And if I were you, I’d be sure she hears it from you everyday! ‘It’s just good backwoods logic!’
I’m very nostalgic for most things historical… except the slotted screw. Put it in a museum and let the wild ones go extinct!!!
Very smart thinkin’ there partner!
We think alike -)
@@thebossoftheswamp we’re more alike than you know, but I’m a bit older. I graduated HS back in 73 and the only reason that happened was my art. I started college straight out of high school with big dreams but found my high school art teacher knew tons more that my college art teacher and stupidly withdrew from all classes and entered the factory life. Another artist whom I always looked up (on your level) yet even with those skills life pushed him into a non artistic job. My dad great man but used to tell me that “artist were a dime a dozen” and that was a common mentality at the time. My hat is off to you for keeping the pace and continuing to use your God given skill as an artist. I am so glad you did so as are very talented and that comes from someone who knows the level of skill it takes to produce well proportioned works that captures the true likeness of the subject. It makes me and thousands like me wish we would have “stuck it out” back in the day like you did! Here’s to you and your free but we’ll ground spirit Boss! 🍻
I had a small house and my option was to continue the main wall 4 ft. up into the 2nd floor. You can then put your furniture where you want and it also feels more spacious.
Yes sir!! You’re so smart! LOVE IT! No taxation without representation!!
Thank you :-)
Living in an rv for six years traveling taught us how to use a small area.
Well done! It’s very satisfying to use as much of the space as possible and you’ve done it. Beautiful cabinets and the room looks like a great space in which to work.
Thank you :-)
Only 166 Pounds of Maxwell House Coffee was sacrificed making this video, lol ,great thinking JC, space is space, sometimes we have just to much stuff, so we need space
Good to the last drop 8-)
They look awesome, Boss! And YES! Using that wasted space.
Thank you :-)
Love the drawers. The jig is BRILLIANT; I'm gonna borrow it LOL.
Thank you :-)
Nice job Boss that’s thinking outside of the box no pun intended
You are a man of many talents!
Thank you kindly -)
I love building cabinets.looks like full extension drawer slides.the details are everything. You know the story behind the Taj Mahal? He built it for his wife. Reminds me of what you built for Lori. You should call it the garage Mahal
That's Funny. The Taj Mama :-D
Tildy was doing an awfully good job sweeping the floor
Yes indeed :c)
That drawer/cabinet system is a great idea, i love it!
Thank you :-)
Those cabinets are beautiful, I live in the mountains of California, I have a cabin with a pitch roof on top floor, that is the best use of that space, I am getting the old man on it!! And that’s just great back woods logic!!
Thank you Kindly :-)
That looks so good. wish I had that talent. I tried making a faux fireplace mantle one time, I glued it used screws and square nails. Let it set overnight, picked it up the next day put to put in place, and it fell apart. True story...
That actually made me chuckle :-D
Boss, your carpentry skills are extraordinary! Well done! 👌
Thank you Brenda :-)
Boss, leave it to you to make the best use of the space you have. The drawer unit looks great and will function for years to come. Way to go. Take Care Brother
Thank you Timothy :-)
Would have even been more awesomer (
I put a comment out after I watched this last night but before I could hit send, we lost the internet. I don’t know that it posted, but the set of drawers are beautiful and you are so well organized. I hope you all have a blessed Christmas!
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you :-)
Another great job, thank you for describing and showing the work process. You're right Boss, making sawdust is your passion and brings great results. Tildy is such a sweet helper who sometimes uses her fluffy tail as a feather duster. Big belly rubs for Tildy and God bless you and Mrs Lori☘️💫🍀😊
Tildy is the sweetest dog, so affectionate and a great hugger. So in tune with everyone's emotions :-)
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Wow! You are well caffeinated! 😁
I haven't heard that in awhile. "Now that's just good backwoods logic"...., YeSSir!!! Great video as always. Take care.
I'm bringing the Backwoods Logic back into the scene -)
Hello Boss and Lori. You too Tildy. You never disappoint! Custom built! Beautiful and well thought of. God bess friends.
Thank you very much :-)
@@thebossoftheswamp Make sure to have a blessed and very safe and merry Christmas!
Love the cabinets!
I'm glad to see your progress!
We are working on our electrical wiring inside the house.
Stau strong, healthy and happy!
You are right, I downsized myself too from 300 sqft to 1200...
Great idea on the shelving...Love the jig for setting the pull handles.
Thanks :-)
Those drawer cabinets are beautiful God Bless
Thank you :-)
Nice cabinets and nice handles too. I think I would have kept the top drawer open as a shelf, though.
The built in looks professional. I luv the stain finish.
Thank you :-)
Hey @bossoftheswamp Love the idea of the drawers and your logic of using as much space as you can so here is a thought, that small section to the side would be good to put a board up with round holes cut into it that would hold planning tubes, or old fly rod tubes, you could store stuff in them tubes maybe even art or floor plans. If you decide to do something like that please let us know how it turned out, if you want more details on what I am talking about I can design it or make a small model of what I am talking about and send you a picture, sure would utilize that extra little space…. lol
Great idea👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts -)
Terrific man! Congratulations on the realization of a terrific idea. Mr. Ed from the wilds of southwestern Ohio.
Thank you :-)
They came out great! Love it 👍
Thank you .
Beautiful job on those cabinets! Wonderfully efficient use of space. Good backwoods logic indeed! Happy holidays! ❤❤
Thank you my friend and Happy Holidays to you and yours :-)
As always Boss great job the two of you work great together
good job Boss, still loving that backwood logic. long live da
bubble wrap;
I always watch your videos as they come out so I watched this a couple months ago. I bought an off grid property with a small cabin on it and have been busy rebuilding it. It has a loft that is 27" long and probably 16 feet wide. I've been trying to figure out how to utilize the sides and remembered this video. I'm thinking shelving on one side and doors to fit things like 5 gallon pails/season things/rarely used stuff, on the other side. This will work out very well. Thank you for the idea!
Lookin' good there Kemosabe. A feller COULD also use a concealing hinge for those filler boards and create a space to store ammunition and a few .45s. M'be even a magnet system to actuate a latching mechanism?
Absolutely :-)
I like the way you think...make it where you push to open without a handle so it just looks like a filler board
Man i need you to come help organize my workshop!
Mine is always a mess. Love it. Jim
Very very nice project and the workshop looks great
Thank you.
This came at the perfect time for us! We finally got moved to our farm land in very late September. Currently living in a 5th wheel camper (that's a whole other learning curve). Purchased another 20 acres with a dried-in house (kind of - if you don't count all the spaces where you can see daylight). This house is a saltbox style. i spent the last 7 weeks fighting a very bad pneumonia so we have decided to hire out some of the work on the house. (Illness can sure knock the wind out of our sails!). I kept telling hubs I want some sort of drawers so we can better utilize that space. Well, this is perfect! We are headed out on vacation so we can spend time with some of our grown kids (no room here in the camper. 5 out of 8 kids will be able to be with us for Christmas), but have someone framing for us while we are gone. I will keep you informed on the progress. Wishing you, Lori, and Tildy the very best Christmas!
Health issues are a game changer for sure. I'm have a procedure done tomorrow. Glad you're over the pneumonia.
Oh Yea! Excellent use of that space and very nice looking cabinets!
Thank you :-)
Good Back Woods logic!!
Hey Boss!!! Idid this last year for my daughters place - they are a real game changer. Nice to put waisted space to use. Greetings from Perth Ontario Canada!!
It's always best to work with what you have and get the most out of it. Nice job. Happy Holidays, Mike, in Oregon.
That jig is great! Sure wish I would have thought of that when I remodeled my mom's kitchen.
Thank you :-)
You did a great job on the drawers.
Thank you :-)
Great idea. When I first saw the shape of the carcass I thought you must be building it for the second floor, but then you had me when you said it was all the material you had. Haha.
Like the drawers😊
Nice work. You're a man of many talents.
Thank you :-)
What a beautiful cabinet love the depth of the drawers and stain used Your a real handy fella. love the method you used to put on the handles . I also love how organised your worksop is . A very Merry Christmas to You, laurie , and Tildy and a New year full of adventure . Ontario , Canada.
Thank you Sue and Merry Christmas :-)
Well done, Jim. Looks so nice and tidy. Smart use of that space.
Wishing you and Lori a jolly Christmas time. God bless.
Thank you and Merry Christmas :-)
Great idea!! I never saw that before. And, I guess I have watched so many of your videos, I knew that you were going to say “that’s just good back woods logic” If you wouldn’t have said it, I would have been disappointed 😂 Take care!
Thank you :-)
Yes, he should get a copyright on that phrase.
Perfect use of space. 😊
Beautiful outcome, Boss. As usual, your craftsmanship is top notch.
Thank you very much!
They came out really nice I built some cabinets similar to these for a customer when I lived down in Nc till next time God bless thanks for sharing
Well, you just made my decision for my sleeping loft ! I have trying to figure out how or what I was gonna do for my cloths ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this video. Down side (kinda) is now I gotta go get some finished plywood ! lol I can make them for both sides of my lil cabin. I think you just wanna keep me busy JC ! lol Great video & thanks for your idea. Geez now I gotta get back to work ! 😱😱😱 😀👌👍👋 God bless.
Good luck with your project.
Love the cabinet drawers , great idea .
Thank you
Dang it all , those draw units turned out great . Oh sorry not sorry they will last 30 plus years !!!! Wonderful how to on thinking through , designing and building out efficiency. A lori and boss habit :) thanks for encouraging others to use what they have , keep it simple and just try to create something just a smidge beyound their present skill level. Because there is no perfection , only progress and practicality. gratitude friend. Looking forward to your next share and care video . life on the farm , in the woods and building a business. the rules change as the circumstances do . So Let the folks know some of the jems in the works. geez , my friends in palmer , Alaska, over 70 inches of white stuff !!!! new record. Time for you to do a generator maintenance video ? ..... I love what you 2 have built. more is better .
Thank you kindly ans WOW!!! on the 70" of snow :-o
Thats a real good idea on the cabinet space usage. Ill have to keep it in mind on our small split roof cabin build.
And youre exactly right we'll be needing all the extra space we can find since downsizing from 2260+ to around 980 sqft. Thanks for the ideas
God bless,
Tennessee, Out
I love your re use of Maxwell house coffee containers we had a bunch of those I made hubby recycle those, might have to save some for that use.? Great idea for the drawers too, beautiful craftmanship.
what a handy guy you are!
Thank you :-)
Absolutely Wonderful ! So Handy Friends ! Boss Lori & Lil Q/C Tildy Have A Safe & Merry Christmas ! ATB T God Bless
Thank you and the same to you Terry :-)
Great sol'n to a common problem. Had the same situation with my cottage . Built a short knee wall of about 14 in so i could fit a nailer for the flooring . Just left it after that as i sold the place

Thank you :-)
Marvelous! And I love your organized workshop.
Thank you :-)
That looks absolutely amazing. Great idea and execution. Love it.
Thank you :-)

LOL. They sure know how to pack them :-x
I need you desperately to organize the garage!!! Hubby is not an organizer😮
Every project you do just makes me envious! It looks great and you'll have plenty of storage.😏👏 Y'all have a Merry🎄and a Happy New Year 🎊🕛 Cheers 🥂 😁😉
