How's she goin'? I want to thank you again Mike for your continued prayers for Nannie. They are important and mean a lot to both of us!! I have made lots of provision for drawers eh!! I hope it all works out!! Take care and God Bless you!!
Shop is looking awesome Mike. Much brighter and definitely more user friendly. Dad's shop has lots of drawers and seems more useful than regular cupboards. Hope you and Nannie are well, have an awesome weekend! 🍁😊👍🚜
How's she goin'? That's a good point Mark about drawers being more useful than cupboards. I am also trying to make the shop cleaner and I'm thinking having things in drawers will help keep them cleaner and less dusty. We'll see about that I guess eh!! Thanks for tuning in. I hope your leg is healing well. Take 'er easy!!
That bench is going to be really nice. Your shop is getting pretty fancy. I'm thinking you need to come down and reorganize mine. I hope all is well with everyone and as always I'll be praying for you guys and I'll see you on the next one.
How's she goin'? Thanks again for your continued prayers Ronnie. They are much appreciated!! I should have enough drawers in the bench eh!! LOL Re-organizing a shop is a big job, as I'm finding out!! It's kind of fun though so you should give it a try and see what you think!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Nice having drawers. In the old shop I followed my sons suggestion and put a bench along the east and south wall. Put in drawers instead of shelves so I could reach to the back of the bench and find things. You got one humdinger of a workshop now Mike. 😁😎
How's she goin'? Thanks Dave!! I wanted to put in drawers because I think they will keep whatever is in them cleaner, at least a little bit cleaner anyways!! The shop is coming together, but holy crow, it's still a God awful mess in there right now. You know what that's like eh Dave? Your shop is in the midst of being created and you are up to your oxters with moving and shuffling and dreaming of how this would look there and then changing your mind!! LOL Enjoy it buddy, I am!! Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Gator. A 'real cabinet maker' eh! Maybe Trudeau (spit) will hire me to help him with his cabinet as they aren't doing a very good job eh!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Noel!! Lots of drawers for sure!! I hope you folks have a great week end too. Looks like we might get some rain too!! Take 'er easy!!
A fella can never have to many drawers, ever🙂 smart using the spacer, I think...its coming along nicely! Those pocket hole jig changed my world years ago... I love using them when I can.. good stuff! The whole shop make over is great....
How's she goin'? Thanks Vic!! I have been wanting to redo this bench for some time and when I started the insulation job I figured this was the time!! And too many drawers, is that even a thing? LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks a lot Nev. Cutting those notches was interesting. I only had the one piece of 2 x 4 that was long enough and so I didn't want to mess it up. Pretty tense for a bit, but to my total amazement, it fit with no fine tuning needed!! That doesn't happen very often!! I appreciate you watching Nev. I hope you are doing OK and that the fall weather is finding you well!! Take 'er easy!!
No one is going to recognize these place as a "shop" once you're completed the whole thing! lol My dad told me a joke many a time, as he'd always forgot that he told me already...but anyway, one of them "dad" jokes I guess...he'd tell me that somewhere he fell ill with a furniture disease, where the effects are when your chest falls in to your drawers! LOL You're going to have a whole lot of drawers when you're finished...but dad always related it to the little tummy he had developed. Hope you and Nannie are able to enjoy a lovely weekend...a little bit of rain for tomorrow I hear, but maybe some sun on Sunday too!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! I think I'm getting the same disease your dad had!! LOL The one I like is, "I finally found a set of breasts I like. Trouble is, they're on me!!" LOL Thanks for tuning in and woof woof Otis!! Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Jason. I did spend a lot of head scratching time to come up with this layout! I just hope it translates into real world practicality!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Excellent work Mike Still in hospital, but Jimmy Brought my laptop so i can get back to my UA-cam now I try to get caught up on Facebook. Thanks so much for reaching out to me, means so very much to mean love and prayers to you and Janet
How's she goin'? Janet just told me you are doing pretty good but getting anxious to get home. I can only imagine. Hospital might be a nice place to visit, but being in one is no fun for anyone!! Get well soon Cathy and we're praying for you very night!! Take care!!
How's she goin'? I wanted to have drawers in the bench because I think they will help keep the dust out so I made sure I had plenty!! Now I'm not too sure what all I'll be putting in them. LOL I appreciate the watch Tom. Take 'er easy!
Gonna be the nicest work bench around when you're finished Mike. I like the idea of drawers, its a more efficient use of space and keeps things from getting dusty
How's she goin'? Thanks Bruce. That was my thoughts for putting the drawers in, to help keep things cleaner. This shop is going to be so nice, it'll be a shame to work in there and make it messy! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks for commenting Jeff. I spent a lot pf time planning and changing and dreaming and rethinking, but ended up with this layout. 16 drawers, that should be enough for a little while at least eh!! LOL Take 'er easy!!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Paul!! I have been toying with this idea of putting drawers in the bench for a long time and this was a great opportunity to do it! And I added plenty of them!! LOL Thanks for the comment. Have a great week end!!
This what you call a 'bank of drawers' I guess!! Once I get things squared away it'll be a big job trying to remember what's in each of the drawers!! LOL Love ya!!!
Lookin great my friend. These are the jobs that tend to take most of a fellas time. These are why cabinet makers take so long to create their work. Not everyone will take this much care creating a shop bench.Seems you have a plan and yer sticking to it eh. It's great to see your plans coming together. Making a plan and sticking to it is a sometimes rare occurance. Not this time. This is going to be great when done. What's the color going to be ? Someting different than the walls would be nice. Take care and of course a hug for your girl would be great too. See ya next post my friend.
How's she goin'? Thanks Dean!! I spent a lot of time dreaming up this layout for all the drawers!! 16 of them, wow, I'll need to buy some more tools!! LOL Interesting that you asked the color!! I'm not too sure, but I think I will paint it though. Even the mechanical bench should be painted but I was holding off because there really hasn't been a color that struck me yet!! And don't say Green and Yellow because that's John Deere colors and they just won't suit in a Massey Ferguson shop!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha!! You know what? I keep that maul right close to the door as it gets used a lot around here too!! LOL Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend!!
We use a speed square to cut in the way you described, it works well. You are doing a fantastic job of rebuilding your workshop. We will be watching very carefully as you make the draws as that would work well for us too. Even better would be to book you in for rebuilding our workshop next, I am sure you would like a trip to the UK 🙂
How's she goin'? Thanks Joseph! I would love to come to the UK!!! I'm pretty low maintenance too. I could sleep in the shed and work on your shop and help with the tractor rebuilds. It would be great! But unfortunately, I'm kind of tied up here at home for the next 20 years or so!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Brian. I'm wondering if I have enough drawers!! LOL I suppose if I can't fill them all I could go buy some new tools!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? It sure is taking a lot of time to do this Steve!! I only get about 2 hours on most days to work on it so that adds to the time line too. But it will be nice if I ever get it finished!! LOL Thanks and take 'er easy!!
I am watching closely as I have to make some similar benches and drawers very soon here on the homestead........making sliding drawers are a challenge for me as I haven't made many.........I like and use pocket screws often but I really like the idea of spacers for the partitions that would save me a lot of trial and error.......thanks for sharing Mike.....
How's she goin'? I appreciate you watching Bryan. Using the spacers is a great way to make sure the drawer openings stay square. If you are like me, no matter how hard I try, I just cannot seem to get the piece lined up to a pencil mark the same way twice. So the spacers saved my bacon on this one for sure!! Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks a lot for the nice comment. Those drawer slides are 28 inches long and will hold up to 150 pounds!! I got them about 4 years ago at Princess Auto. They were on sale and now I'm finally getting to use them!! 16 drawers - do you think that's enough? LOL Take care!!
GPS navigation, huh. Sounds like you'll have years of project videos coming up before you're done. Smart! And I thought you were just insulating the shop to keep warm. Just a question on the drawers: Does the Stationary drawer not move? What's the point if it doesn't move? Wouldn't that be a good drawer to put pens, pencils and paper instead of it not being used for anything? Other than that it's a great looking bench and you've obviously planned it out well. All the best, hello to Nanny and a pat for the squirrels and all the rabbits and baloney around the lake.
How's she goin'? I spent a lot of time planning out this bench , but I sure messed up with that stationary drawer eh! Thanks for pointing that out. This afternoon now, I'll go out there and make the necessary mods and adjustments so that drawer can be used for paper and pens and rulers and staples. And I just thought, if I can make a little dished out piece of wood I could put that at the front right hand corner and I could put paper clips in it too!! Wow!! Thanks Craig!! You're the man buddy!!!. LOL Take 'er easy!!
Looks like you have a great plan! Going to be nice when you get done! We are always praying for you and Nannie 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Mike, your doing a great job, nice job on cutting the notches out along the bottom, and I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome of the draws 😀 👍

Hello Grampie. Your plan seems to be a good one. The shop is going to be well organized. I'll see you in the next one my friend 🙏🔧👍

@@GrampiesWorkshop, I’m envious of your shop Mike.
Wow you made major changes to your plans! A lot of workbefore it will finished and you can get everything put away.
