Making Drawers For Bottles And Cans - Space for 108
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2018
- I figured the cabinet beside the fridge would be a great place to keep the bottles and cans I use. There is space for a total of 108, 36 in each drawer.
Before you start lecturing me on using bottled water, consider that my water supply here (a drilled well) doesn't provide good quality water. It's drinkable, but tastes terrible and the filter systems I've tried (and spent a lot of money on) don't improve it.
Not that I should have to justify myself to anyone, but being a rude, judgemental hypocrite seems to be all the rage these days.

Great idea. I wonder though if this would have been a perfect project to use the box joint jig with a dado stack. You could have cut the strips of plywood, attached the top edge banding first and then cut dado's at half the height of the board at the spacing you need, take half of the pieces flip them around turn them 90 degrees and slide the whole thing together. It worked well for me when I made some drawer dividers for our kitchen.
The answer is efficiency. Not only for time, but for materials.
I had a lot of scrap plywood that would be too small to make full length pieces, and cutting slots as you describe takes a lot longer than just cutting pieces and assembling. These drawers are purely utilitarian, and not made to look like family heirlooms.
And did you notice that table saw is not dado stack ready?
Here's a more complete explanation as to why I didn't use half lap joints for this project:

I think it's a fantastic idea and great execution as well. I love your attention to detail, yet you don't let it get in the way of just getting things done!
I have to say: that kitchen is coming along VERY nicely and I can't wait to see the completely finished result, though I recon that it might take a while (but you seem to be on a bit of a roll lately regarding the kitchen, so hopefully it keeps you motivated to do more of these projects.
Great video as always!
I Build It Home ,we always drink bottled water and only use the tap water for cooking and water for the animals.
I was curious as to if you have given any thought to a rain water collection system to use for water in and around your home?
@@gandjboyd7872 Well goody gum drops for you. Our oceans that are choked with plastic trash are glad you are happy.
@@bookooc5605 hey moron 1st of all America isn't the problem China and other 3rd world country are! 2nd we recycle our bottle ,so please mind your own damn business!!!!!
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seems to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Very unique. I like the idea of the strips on the bottom to avoid crap getting in there.
Great idea, love how you refine how you made them as you continued making them
Amazing you can build your kitchen, which looks incredible, on a tablesaw you built in an hour. Great job.
This is seriously one of the best narrated and edited how to videos I think I have ever seen! Keep up the good work!
This is the coolest cabinet I have ever seen I am so going to steal your idea and I will send you a pic when I'm done thank you for sharing!
Looks great and very practical.
Great result. Really enjoyed this.
John.... you are just frickin’ awesome.... great idea!
This is a really clever idea. Thanks for sharing!
Very nicely done !
Pretty neat idea; I'm wondering why I haven't seen it before. Thanks!!
Nice build. Thanks for the video.
Hey there, just wanted to thank you for this video. I have been wanting to make something similar for my closet to hold clothing. I didn’t really know how to go about it but I’m going to use what you did to make my own. Thanks again for the great video
Looks like we are in the same boat with the drinkable bad tasting water. We used to do the water bottle thing but switched to a bottom loading water cooler which I find much more convenient. Being that it is more convenient, I drink more water and less pop so it is cheaper and better for my health. It is also cheaper in terms of buying the water. Here a case of 35, 500ml bottles (17.5l) is about $4.00 and a refill of an 18.9l bottle at Canadian Tire is $0.99. Here we go though a little more than a bottle a week so the cooler paid for itself and the bottles in a little over a year. The house is tiny here and we are quite space conscious but the cooler and bottles take up the space where cases of water used to sit so that is kind of a wash. It does save space in the fridge though and you are not always having to open the fridge. Recycling is not convenient here so it also saves a lot of waste from going to the landfill. Your project keeps things organized really well but like I said we are quite space conscious and I am thinking I would be able to get a lot more bottles in a regular drawer. I might add one or two cross pieces to keep them more upright and stop them from sliding when opening and closing, and to add some strength as the bottles would be a heavy load.
Great project John! Thank you for sharing the video.😎👍JP
You sure squeeze a lot of great tips into a 10 minute video.
Nice Idea. Thanks for sharing
I was wondering about the waste and appreciate the explanation. Living far from resources sure creates a lot of extra garbage and trouble.
Beautiful. Love these. I want to make some
Very nice. Thank you.
Neat idea. I wish my kitchen had enough cabinet space to dedicated cabinet for this purpose.
Nice job. Good ideas. That was no joke.
Pretty slick John good idea
very meticulous and well done
Maybe I worry too much about rotating supplies so I always use the oldest first, but I can't help feeling that the bottles and cans at the back are going to get ignored. To counter my worries I would have probably made this so the product could be slid forwards in channels rather than boxes, so the resupply could be done at the back. Or, for strength, side to side. Who am I kidding, I would have made this to take whole cases of bottles, I'd be too lazy to unpack them. In fact, I'd leave the cases in the garage.
David Powell you can still rotate, pull 1,bring another forward to its place, at the same time, or when restocking pull forward, cuz my kids never do ! I hav to rotate everything stored, esp since hubby is into prepper-ness! And box stores bulk .Is that a word? Is now Lol😁
or just don't refill it until they are all gone.
That's a great idea. Sure beats having to go out to the garage every time you want to re-stock the fridge. Here in Texas, the garage can be in the very high 90's (Fahrenheit) throughout the summer...really puts a strain on the fridge and ice maker for any liquids stored out there.
Interesting idea. Thank you.
Great idea. I have a pantry cabinet that this would be perfect for
was going to point out that non-complete bottoms help with no gunk/dust collection, but you beat me to it ;)
Concept is simple BUT Execution is critical to get it right. GREAT JOB, This is where i always get ahead of myself and screw it up.
Very nice.
This is happiness!
Nice.
Similar principle to my spice drawer, except I got an offcut of 3/4" ply which fitted in the bottom of the drawer then drilled a grid of holes with a forstner bit for the small jars to sit in.
It just drops in the existing drawer with a couple of stand-offs to lift it up a bit.
---
Probably slightly quicker to build for small jars, although I don't think I'd have a bit big enough for cans/bottles and a holesaw leaves a horrible finish.
Thanks John.
this made my day, i fucking love this (sorry for the language, but not really) thats just awesome man, nicely done!
Love this idea. Feeds the OCD haha thanks John.
I understand completely.... my water supply from the council used to be lovely but, over the last 20 years, has deteriorated terribly so I buy drinking water now because, as you said, filters make little difference. However, I have a 65' deep traditional brick-lined well in my garden which has water that people used to come for from all around here because of the wonderful quality (it is filtered through peat). I was supposed to get it going again this year but this year is disappearing rapidly so it will probably be next year. There will be a video.
Looking forward to that :)
Another option I have here is to distill the water, but that has its drawbacks too.
One thing you might keep in mind is that distilling water indoors during heating season has zero energy cost, since the energy used to boil the water contributes to heating the house.
OMG a youtuber that hasn't fakely make the video longer than 10 minutes mark to get more revenue!!!!! stop the machines. Nice job man, for keeping real and the final result
John, those turned out nice!
What no construction adhesive?
Why add edge banding? For protective reasons or aesthetics? I personally like the look of the layers of plywood
LOVE IT! I wonder if you could of fit one more square (bottle space), if you used thinner soli, milled thinner pieces of wood? That would have saved from cutting all the smaller detailed cuts?
Cool build. Love it.
Wouldnt dados help out for the dividers?
Respect
Nice
Awesome John, just like all of your projects! Hey just curious why you chose the route of building up the drawer grid by glueing/ pinning each piece together instead the other route of making drawer dividers by cutting out a series of opposing slots equally spaced across each board that interlock together to make the grid/ dividers?
Because it would take longer and be more difficult to do.
Nicely done. Now I'm off to watch the video explaining why you didn't use half lap joints.
its a bottle organizer
You could have just added the separation pieces to the new divider And then glue it to the current device a current divider which then you wouldn't have to toenail it but good project overall
I understand why you did not use a dado stack on these. But why didn't you 3D print the dividers with plastic wood? (Being an UYTE - Unsolicited UA-cam Expert - is kinda fun!)
This is a very cool idea, and very nicely made, but I don't think I would ever have a use for this build unfortunately. Who knows, maybe add some yogurt cups and have a screw sorting drawer instead :P
I love drawers but do not store food in them. I look forward to seeing if you build a wall of pantry cabinets in your kitchen.
I wish you'd make a video about your table saw
6:10 - nifty glue trick. Thanks!
please make a quick video on your spray gun and your thoughts about it. Need one but don't want to over/under buy. Great video, life without a wife.....easy-peaszy...
I try to avoid doing videos on products, but I can make a quick one on the sprayer and what it takes to run one.
Thanks, I understand the product issue thing. just really looking for features, range of use in terms of finishes, and techniques. You always are able to cut through the crap and get to the stuff that one needs to know.
Yes, that’s an interest. I notice your gun has an interior bag where mine is just gravity feed and I struggle to get it dialed in just right. Curious to know how you like yours, where you got it and how much. I know only a few viewers are Canadian but would like to know if you picked up at big box store, crappy tire or the princess place
I Build It Home I too would love a video on this, I have a chest of drawers I tried to hand paint 3 years ago and it looked like shit so I stripped it all off and it has sat there ever since. I want to buy a sprayer but don't even know where to begin. Thanks John!
Do a video on how you clean it!
Keep building. Your way of doing things has merit. Mostly you are building something you ACTUALLY use. BTW, way I made the mistake of tossing some (a lot) of scrap. As usual the exact moment it hit the bin at the trash a new project appeared. The result didn't need to be pretty, just functional. Back to the store to BUY more wood to cut into pieces. Watched your "HALF-LAP" rebuttal. I wonder if the LAPers even understood. NAH.......
Lose the dividers altogether - pack hexagonally - you can fit a bunch more bottles in the same space. And if you need support in the middle of the drawer, put just two dividers in a cross from corner to corner leaving the square drawer divided into 4 triangles.
Sure, but what happens when the drawer is just half full and you slide it open? Didn't think that far, did you?
Yes, true, but point still stands re space -- what if you made the dividers out of something round? Like one of those heavy cardboard tubes? Then you can still pack hexagonally and perhaps the dividers can even be placed without gluing them in so the drawer could be easily repurposed later.
You are free to make yours that way, but mine is already finished and I'm very happy with how it works and its capacity.
Date with durex........perfect ad for this video
How innovative! I love this idea. Do you think the glue and 1.5 brads will hold the bottom in place in the long run? I feel like screws would have been stronger, but maybe not.
Mary Henn it should be very strong because of the glue.
Of course screws would be stronger. They also cost more and take much longer it install, and that extra strength is not needed for this. If it was, I would have used them :)
Mary Henn staples i thought...
Nice job, but doesnt deviders takes up what third or maybe even half of space?
What are your thoughts on using a finish nailer over a brad nailer? Looking to buy my first gun and it sounds like a finish nailer can be more versatile than a brad nailer. Finish nails are also a bit stronger than brads. Only issue I can see here is with thinner stock.
For me a brad nailer is the most versatile, but it depends on what you are primarily doing. If you are doing a lot of trim carpentry in a house, a 16 gauge nailer would be the better one to have if you can only have one. I have all three - 16, 18 and 23 gauge pin.
I think I would have just went with a drawer without the dividers. This is one of those things that seems like a good idea until you have to drop each bottle into a compartment every time you bring home a case of water instead of just grabbing 4 or 5 at a time and putting them in the drawer. Plus you could probably fit a few more bottles than with the dividers. A little less efficient and practical imo, but it definitely keeps everything neat and orderly if you’re somewhat OCD. Just my opinion tho.
👍👍
I admire for the glue-up challenge, but why not using the interlocking dividers with half-cut slots where they cross? I thought that'd be no-brainer when doing such thing.
Wish you and me were neibors ! I'd big the shit out of you! Your the master carpenter John , I really enjoy your videos , thank you
What type of wood did you use for your cabinets and drawers.
The weight of all the liquid concerns me, how beefy are the drawer rollers?
Wouldn't simply using a dato stack to make half-lap joints and a stop block have been a lot easier, quicker, and more accurate?
I noticed you flip your stock when cutting the spacers on the table saw. Is there a reason for this?
You would have been running on Auto by the end of all those... If the water is Blah, it's Blah. I'd do the same, but from economics, would it be better to get one large 20lt container??? Or is it also a case of where to store and practicalities
It's mostly a case of being a grown up and being able to make my own decisions about how I do things. Also a big factor is how the things that I do are on display for the viewers to be judgemental about and offer their superior advice. I mean, billions of bottles of water are sold and I'm not buying all of them
Hi John I'm just curious but wouldn't cutting interlocking slats for the grid be easier/faster than the individual spacers?
No.
I Build It Home OK. Can I ask why? Also the kitchen looks fantastic.
I Build It Home sorry I just noticed the other thread.
I think you have a drinking problem lol. But not a drinking storage problem!
Isn't all that wood between em a waste of space since u can just sit your bottles together? Just wondering why u did this Mr Heisz
I think half lap would be easier and more efficient
I must have missed something. What happened to your table saw?
James Ervin go to his other channels. There are probably 5 videos that discuss various details of this.
Room temperature drinks? 😷
Gadget Addict arent they all til u stock fridge....
Don't see the point of this . Great execution and build and all but why unpack a 24 of Gatorade into a drawer?. Why not just leave it in the case till you stock in the fridge?
jc86 I'm sure John wouldn't have built this if it wasn't useful to him.
jc86 ever trip over a case of Gatorade ... or have a dog pee on it.. Or just hate to have floor clutter ?
That's the only way I drink water or Gatorade.
Almost a year later and I wonder if you still find yourself filling this?
Yes, it's in constant use.
...and you never have to clean out the individual bottle cubby holes.
Not that I would ever get around to doing that, anyway :)
You're my kind of rude, judgemental hypocrite! Best aye!!
Without dividers, the drawers would hold more bottles.
No shit, but the bottles would clank against each other. Have you ever noticed bottles are packed with dividers? Ever wondered why?
They're plastic. Plastic doesn't clank. Who would open the drawer that hard anyways?
Not a single beer bottle.
No, but 18 cans.
I must be blind.
Dudes whole house is filled with polyurethane finished plywood 🤦🏼♂️
I only use water for bathing, no way I would pay for it in bottles unless it is perhaps carbonated.
how much time in your life is dedicated to seperating and inserting bottles into a grid? Oy good luck with that
Please adopt me.
No box joints will that be strong enough. At least use your pantorouter.😁
Nice work but You should stop consuming so much single use plastic bottles on a daily basis. Get a fountain with reusable large gallons. Please.
Very nice.
