Simple, to the point. Great video. I'm above average with most aspects of carpentry, but rarely build drawers. Working on a project for the wife and this video just saved me a headache!
Thank you for the video. I'm going to be tackling this project real soon and this looks very helpful. One question though, why do you cut off the back piece rather than cut a groove (you call it dado)? Seems like you could slide the bottom board in for extra support this way. Edit. You'd have to put the back piece on last that way, maybe that'd be a hassle to line up.
This way if the bottom panel even gets damaged you can unscrew the panel and slide it out to replace it. But you can absolutely put the same groove in the back piece as well and build it that way. I do that too
Any advice on screw size/pocket hole size? I didn’t catch any of that info in the video and I don’t see any mention of screw sizes in the plans I purchased, either. Very interested in this info bc I plan on building 2 as a Christmas gift. Please advise!
In my case for this drawer I am using 3/4" thick material so that is 1 1/4 pocket hole screws... if your using 1/2" material it's 1" screws. If your using 1 1/2" material it is 2 1/2" screws. This is for my Kreg pocket hole jig I can't speak on any other brands because I am not familiar with them, but if you have a kreg pocket hole jig they make it pretty clear what size screws to use for each thickness of material
I put the two side Together and hold my tape on the measurement I want the width to be and then read the other side of the tape get exact measurement cause plywood not 3/4”
@@BradyHommel This method goes back to the early days of cabinet making because it allows one the ability to cock the drawer box left or right to align it to the carcass during final assembly.
So simple, while sitting in a woodshop. But in all seriousness, how about some guidance for people with minimal tools. A person who just had some boards cut to size at the local hardware store? I imagine this should be doable with some nails and glue and perhaps a drill at most.
Yes if you have the pieces cut for you you could make it happen with a hammer and nails. Drill and screws would be a little easier. All depends on the tools you have at your disposal.
Portable circular saw and a straightedge gets you the components, a cheap 1/4" handheld router with a straight bit gets you groovy mama, you got the rest.
Im convinced you people would watch a driving video and complain that the person owns a car. Why would you watch a woodworking video and be mad the dude owns a saw? Lol use a circular saw and keep it moving
Yup you nailed it. Making woodworking videos on TH-cam is brutal. Every video I get ridiculed for having tools. Lol. I started like everyone else though, I didn't come out of the womb with a table saw.

Love the simplicity. If done properly, simple can look really good. I'm a notch above beginner and always love a good clear explanation. Great job.
Appreciate that! Thanks for the comment
The best tutorial out there. Just made 6 drawers after watching this. Thanks!
That's awesome! Great to hear. Thank you
I appreciate the fast pace of your video. You cover a lot of ground, but because its short, its convenient to rewatch. Thanks.
Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing your comments
Are we just going to ignore how cool that sanding block throw and return was?
😂
😂
Just bought a house and didnt realize all the drawers in the kitchen sucked. will be doing this to all of them. Thanks for the video!
Oh yeah cheap drawers are the worst! These will be much better! Thanks watching.
That's a very good design. Seems quite simple and strong. And serviceable/repairable 👍
Thanks!
Excellent and no BS.
Thanks!
Love your channel. Glad I stumbled across your channel. Thanx for what u do. Looking forward to Retirement in a few months.
Appreciate that! Congrats and Happy retirement
Great video thank you.
I have the same table saw and it drives me nuts that they don't have dado throat plates.
Always have to buy them on Etsy!
Good info on the back piece; makes assembly easy and being able to replace the bottom is a plus!
For sure! Thank you
Good work 👍
Thank you!
@@BradyHommel

This will come in handy for my van build! Thanks Brady!
Well done! Excellent explanation and presentation.
Appreciate that. Thank you!
Good job on the drawer.

Glad to hear that. Thanks!
So glad I found your channel! Keep ‘em comin!!

Do you think a portable table saw would be big enough for this and the drawer?
Thank you
You're welcome!

New sub thanks for your content. I am a little slow it might take me more than 5 minutes to do what you just did 😅 in 5 minutes lol.
haha takes me longer than 5 minutes too. i just wanted the video to be a quick 5 minutes. Thanks for the sub!
Brilliant
Thanks!
Great video
Thank you!
After 30 years of furniture building I need to start making videos on how I do things,
What is it that he did wrong?
@@MrKYT-gb8gs no mortises, He’s putting stress on his screws, a couple more set up’s on the table saw and He would have been done
I’d be your apprentice. Send me your email so i can ask questions! lol
@@robertstewart5685 what is it they about the ways to skin a cat?
Please do.
Nice!!
Thank you!

Hey Mate are you in Wisconsin? 😏
The accent 🤷♂️
Great video but. ThankYou and subscribed.
i need to replace my draw. this is perfect but gonna try and use pallet wood because i got loads free
Pallet wood would work great! Free is even better!
Drawer.
✅
“I love this thing, it’s a life saver”
* Throws it like he hates it 😂
Haha
The one thing I wanted to see, you skipped 😂. Drawer slides
Haha. Do a quick search for them. There should be plenty of tutorials on youtube for those.
Why wouldn’t you dado the back piece, insert the bottom, and then glue and screw in the back piece?
Because the way I did it the drawer bottom is removable if it ever gets damaged and easily replaced

It was more like a maths lesson with all those fractions.
Metric is so so much easier. th-cam.com/video/1cVFmQbORBA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U42Fruoy229QO1UC

Nice work but too fast for a Beginner

watch it again.

pause it
Easy DIY because yeah all us DIYers have a table saw....
Portable circular saw and a straightedge gets you the components, a cheap 1/4" handheld router with a straight bit gets you groovy mama, you got the rest.
There are some tools you just have to have. You think he should be showing all hand powered tools to satisfy people like you?
DIY entails having such tools 🤦♂️
@@BugJuiceFlavor pffft lol no it doesn't! Ignorant.

Having a 20K$+ machine how can this be a DIY?
Imperial measuring system is so fucking rediculous
Video suck!
Well thanks
