i love that you don't edit the mistakes you make out of the video... it's very encouraging to us who are beginners, being able to see that even someone of your skill and experience can still make the occasional mistake. it's also very impressive to see that your shop is now almost fully populated with tools you've made yourself, like the tablesaw, router table, etc. you're amazing

Great build. 1:30 - 1:50 I kept waiting for the red splatter to hit the camera. No doubt it was the body English I kept applying that kept you safe. I love the labels.
That little handle extension also serves as another horizontal surface onto which you can stack stuff. Like every other horizontal surface, no matter how small. Great job.
Gonna build something similar for my office. The way you use the bottom of the drawer as the slide and the handle is just simple brilliance. Thanks for the idea!
I love that each drawer has multiple bins. That way if your working with a particular diameter of bolt you can pull out the drawer and have two lengths of bolts plus washers and nuts all in one convenient container
Thanks for this. I need one too. I've seen a number of different versions on TH-cam, but they all have one thing in common: lots of cutting and detail work. I like yours.
Nice project idea! Here's a couple of efficientancy suggestion. 1) Before you cut each of the drawer bottoms from the larger sheet, run one edge (front) across router tab with a rabbit bit to make all of the pull slots in one operation (pass). 2) You could also use the same rabbit bit to cut the radius at the panel edges by centering the cutting down the cut line, before separating the side from the larger sheet. Just those two changes will save you quite a bit of time. Please buy yourself one of those gripper type push blocks to save your fingers/hand. A large number of repetitive operations like your doing in this video tend to breed complacency, which can easily result in an accident. $25-$50 is far cheaper than an ER visit or surgery. Even the most experienced of us have lapses in attention.
It's not only for fun : usually the plastic containers flex a lot when you hold them full of screws; these are much better. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays !
VERY nice. I'm far too lazy to make drawers that way. I bought my wooden drawers at a flea market. I found and bought 3 old drawers that used to have newspaper type in them. They are about 36" x 16" x 1" tall. And each has about 100 divisions. So all I had to make was a cabinet with drawer slides to hold them. The drawers were $15 each, so I have about $65 in the whole thing, including the slides. And a couple of hours.
Nice build, similar to one I have. There is one another thing I did - I taped a sample of the screw to the front of the box to know what exactly is inside it. I did find this helpful and so did some of my assistants who aren't yet conversant with lettered sizes.
Nice project. I would say though, re: your suggestion on the plastic multi compartment organizers. I hate those things. The trays in them are never big enough and you either have to lug out a bunch of them or you take out the trays and as always happens, spill ur screws everywhere. My fav is go to the dollar store, grab a couple dozen packs of the cheap plastic food storage containers. The ones that are around 3x5"and 3" deep. They hold a good amount of fasteners, each have a secure fitting lids, and you can trans port just the ones you need in ur tools bag without spilling. I bought about 50 of them for screws, nuts and bolts, washer and all the misc bits. Plus extras if some get damaged. Cheap and fast. Just build a wall shelf with slots for each container. That way you don't have to dig through stacks of them, 2 or 3 deep in a cabinet. Can' build a portable case to hold a bunch of the containers to bring to job sites. The sealed lids are great to as they keep the dust from piling up in the containers. :) And using all the same size container makes things easier too.
Good idea. I watched this and thought it looked good, but now I'm going to do a rack for those food storage containers. They have them half price every few months. I can replace the kitchen ones and repurpose our existing collection. I often have to put them in my tool bag to travel to a job.
What may get lost on people is the precision you achieved on this project using all tools and machines that you made. It’s seriously difficult to machine those box parts to that accuracy even with incredibly expensive tools. It’s a testament to your talents, experience, skill and passion. I love watching you make things. Keep sharing. Hopefully you’ll be able to get back to the table saw build soon. However, watching you use your second “temporary” saw so successfully, doubtful we’ll be seeing that build any time soon😢. Also, floor looks incredible btw. Merry Christmas John. I’m wishing you the very best in 2019. Your talents deserve to be celebrated and showcased.
I thought about doing something like this, once, for like 2 minutes, then realised the HUGE amount of work it would take, and then went and brought those cheap and nasty ones. Now I’m thinking again about it. Respect John, top job. Love your channel and your work!
It's also very good practice, as it doesn't matter much if you screw something up a little. I made something (remotely) similar out of plywood and hardboard, and while not great it is very satisfying to pick items from your own storage solution.
Great build. You have the patience of a saint and handle the repetition extremely well. Some day I would love to try to make something like this with my wife.
Neat John! Another thing your unit does is let you know when your are low or out of a certain of fastener when planning because there all in one place by size and visible. Great and thanks!
I've never seen that plywood before in Australia. But I actually like the look of the grain. As for the back side with the X Marks. Lends to the DIY aspects of shop furniture.
I need to build one of these screw drawer sets also. Thanks for the idea. You did scare me when you were pushing the narrow strips passed the table saw blade with your fingers. Why did you not use a push stick and avoid that risk altogether?
Thank you, great organiser! Making rebates (rabbets) with a router was something I especially needed to see, given that we don't have dado saws in the UK :)
Listen sir , I don’t know what you are trying to prove but you have one hell of an amazing clean cut table saw so you can’t be all that bad of a carpenter, ha ha ha real nice job I like to see good workmanship you have good taste when it comes to tools keep up the good work really I mean the idea behind that table saw says a lot about a person that’s if you made it you’re self thank you kindly for sharing :)
Hello John Heisz, thank you for your illustrative videos, that a lot helps us for people who are starting in the woodwork or that as I am a fanatic or we have this beautiful hobby, regards from Veracruz, Mexico.
Hi John! I always think "why would I spend 10$ on a project, when I can make it for 50$!! You are right, because it's FUN!!!! Love your Videos. I'm a big fan. All the best to you in '19!
Also have to think about gas and wear & tear on the car to get said plastic bins, which will inevitably break and making you have to go out and buy more. Time is money. Without even thinking about how much your time is worth that you put in to building anything. What it comes down to is that you build what you need, not what a plastic bin constrains you to.
I don't know you're reason for painting your floor, but I like it. For me the viewer it vastly improves the backdrop. Another (who shall remain nameless) woodworker seems to rearrange his shop every 6 months and yet I have to look at his crappy concrete floor that he refuses to paint. I've suggested it and he's said no. From the viewers perspective I think it'd be a good idea to bring more studio elements into the TH-cam wood shop.
Hi John, as a long time admirer of your ingenuity I am glad to see you using SurePly. I found that material maybe 6-7 years ago at HD. It was the only inexpensive nicely finished flat void free sheet good I could find. Really nice thin stuff which reminds me of baltic birch. Haven't used the stuff for a while. Hope it is still affordable.
more work sure, but worth it. And that you use so much of your shop built tools and jigs is very cool! A lot of what you have done, i am going to use or am using in my own shop.
Hi! Great little built! I love the prints of that ply. It has an industrial character that way and would even suit a living room. Less rambling, more building... improved and better channel! Regards, Etna.
I know what it is when you start collecting many different types of screws and bolts in an empty place in a rack, it becomes a real mess. I have also been thinking for a long time about something like this, but unfortunately, free time is my enemy. I enjoyed this nice video and maybe I have more courage to finish this job. Greetings Christofix
Thanks John for another great project. I have been trying to think of a new storage system for a while. This is just the ticket. Have a Merry Christmas John.

Me to. From Brazil
The BESTTTT ever system for workshop drawers. Stackable, can make double height drawers, modular, super great !!!!
Thanks John !

That little handle extension also serves as another horizontal surface onto which you can stack stuff. Like every other horizontal surface, no matter how small.
Great job.
That is the biggest problem with ANY flat surface. It seems to beg for something else to placed there.

Something every shop needs. Nice way to get things in order John.

I think my favorite thing about your channel and builds is you use basic materials to build very high quality pieces.

nice to see someone admitting they made a mistake for a change. im now subscribed!!!
I’m always amazed at people who can successfully fire a pin into 1/4” sheet goods. Anything under 1/2” and I may as try from across the room.
John, I always enjoy your presentations
This guy is the best of the youtuber and I enjoyed watching him alot
John, That cabinet looks great. Thanks so much for sharing all your builds with us again this year!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!
You NEED to make a "push stick" before you lose a finger...
What’s he using at 1:12 if not a push stick?
Oh boo hoo
Exactly, especially with those crosscuts,
Exactly! I was nervous just to watch.
@@twestgard2
He hands are WAY too close to the blade. Take it from someone who knows.
Stumpy
Top job. Love the neat and simple construction method. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

I'll be back to the table saw build shortly :)
Well said.

Now I’m thinking again about it.
Respect John, top job. Love your channel and your work!

Have to say the painted floor in the video looks amazing, that was a nice touch.
Great build. You have the patience of a saint and handle the repetition extremely well. Some day I would love to try to make something like this with my wife.
Neat John! Another thing your unit does is let you know when your are low or out of a certain of fastener when planning because there all in one place by size and visible. Great and thanks!
Nice build. Taking the long way was an understatement but it's solid and will last a lot longer than the plastic ones.
One of your best videos ever.
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
I made the router lift you did video on a few weeks ago. Wow it works great. Thanks so much.
I've never seen that plywood before in Australia. But I actually like the look of the grain. As for the back side with the X Marks. Lends to the DIY aspects of shop furniture.
LostWhits ... The plywood is called “Sureply.” It’s used as an underlayment for vinyl flooring. All of the X’s, are recommended fastening points
Great video, I am one those guys who have a bunch of the plastic separating cases, but I hate plastic. This is great project.
Very time consuming, but the final cabinet is excellent! Exactly what I am looking for - thank you!
You can buy cheap ass plastic drawers but you can't buy respect or pride in workmanship. You've earned both!
I need to build one of these screw drawer sets also. Thanks for the idea. You did scare me when you were pushing the narrow strips passed the table saw blade with your fingers. Why did you not use a push stick and avoid that risk altogether?
I need a cabinet like this in the worst way! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, great organiser! Making rebates (rabbets) with a router was something I especially needed to see, given that we don't have dado saws in the UK :)

Hi from Argentina, I'm very fan of your videos
Tip: Glue a nut and bolt of each size at the front so you can test your unknown bolt if you need more of the same size or just for sorting. :)
Hello John Heisz,
thank you for your illustrative videos, that a lot helps us for people who are

Yes you could have bought plastic bins to make it easier, BUT these look way cooler and you made them! Great job!
Kudos on a great design and, I must say, you deserve some sort of award or a cookie or something for your patience in the task.
I love the idea. I absolutely hate those plastic drawer sets. I'd take your method over that any day!
Excellent work, need lots of patience to do this type of work, many many thanks.
Neat practical part and parcel of the entire shop lure inspiring as usual
John...the Floor looks Great!
Thank you, John. Glad you showed your mistakes. Now, I don't feel so bad when I measure twice, cut once, and STILL get it wrong. :)
Huge respect for you, Sir.
Not everyone can admit their mistakes.
Thx.
The floor job is a nice touch actually
Very nice build, it looks like this will work for me quite well. Thanks for sharing.
Sir john thanks for sharing this video...i apply to my small shop im your number 1 fans from the philippines
Actuallyblove how simple the design for those is with the handle as part of the body
John
neat trick using teflon sheet to support the wood parts being glued.
Good idea and nice job. Excellente 👍
Wow, very nice build! Well done.
Very nice, John.
Thanks Steve :)
Looking good, John

All that plywood man - love it.
Deadly with that pin nailer.
Merry Christmas And Happy New Year .
Awesome video and brilliant channel watching your videos from the UK 👍👍
Meilleurs voeux pour cette nouvelle année Guy.
That's way better than plastic boxes. Very cool boss. = )
Dudes its beautiful
very nice ..your hands bloomed..
I could use a dozen of these, but someone else would have to build them as I am being lazy this winter, lol. Great video John.
интересная работа! правда, когда вижу пальцы, рядом с пильным диском аж мурашки по коже... берегите пальцы - их не так много! :)
Super super amazing
Awesome organizer John! 👍🏻👊🏻
more work sure, but worth it. And that you use so much of your shop built tools and jigs is very cool! A lot of what you have done, i am going to use or am using in my own shop.
Haha, those are what I accumulated over the years. Thanks for sharing.
