Six standing desk drawers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ย. 2023
- Standing desks present a problem for adding drawers. The mechanism limits how deep the drawers can be. I came up with a drawer with a second set of slides further down so that the drawer can be pulled out most of the way, enabling maximum utility for the depth available.

I love the return to a somewhat woodworky video, and I also love the callbacks to your machine builds, which are amazing build videos on their own! Thank you for sharing!
Plz make a all wooded desk that can move up en down like the ones you make draws for :)
You are not cheap... you are thrifty and frugal! That is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much! You take something others might throw out and turn it into something others might pay a small fortune for!
I've seen this man make box joints a thousand times, but I still get excited to see it again
Somehow it is good to see that I‘m not the only one who fails at the little details and has to improvise while working to get it done 😂
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
A lot of problem-solving thought went into those drawer slides. Neat.
I love that you can get it done with just wood, without having to buy expensive hardware. It inspires me to be brave enough to try myself.
Perfect is the enemy of good!
Thanks for the return to woodworking. And also showing that even you have lots of small mistakes to fix as you do your woodworking. Thumbs up
Going through the problem-solving and resulting improvements is so much more interesting and helpful than…. voila, here’s my (final) build. Love the repurposing and may be inclined to make use of spare pvc and copper pipe for slides
Thank you for showing the process and not just the finished product. It makes me feel good
What I love about this video is it reminds me of your dad's lock ingenuity (another of my favourite videos of yours). You obviously learned a lot from him and ran with it :)
Love the efficiencies that emerge when you have to do something several times. Good stuff
A true engineer. There is no simple thing in the world that can't be improved upon.
Your problem solving is phenomenal.
I love all the complications to what seemed to be a simple copy/paste project. it is so much fun to solve all those little problems.
lol. yeah. My brain wasn't ready for complexity this morning. 😅
Matthias, you're so good with your inside/outside-the-box thinking!
What you do with your wooden jigs is brilliant.
It's so cool that you use your genius for woodworking and tools. I really admire what you do!
11:44 made me lol. The desk keep getting higher and higher to the point of a giants desk 😂💕👍
Using the router bit in that way is genius. Pulls the workpiece towards the fence and clears out dust and shavings better.
If only my router table could tilt. ;)
I like the videos where you make things. The algorithms may not show you that, I don't know.
Good video 😎
Yes! Classic video, love the process thanks for taking us along!
I learn something every time I watch you work. I really like the way you think/problem solve!
I like the fact that you show the OOps moments and the corrections to them to keep moving on with the project. thanks for sharing. ECF
I read the title "Six sanding disk drawers". :) Talking about a Freudian slip; my sanding disks are in disarray.
Nice job on documenting the progressive changes for problem solving. Too many gloss over that dealing with existing structure is an iterative process.
A woodworking video in classic Wandel style, I love it. This is very inspiring and the effects of this kind of videos can be found al around in my house.
Great video showcasing the design, troubleshoot and adjustment phases all woodworkers go through.
Glad to see you in the shop again!
Always fun watching the master! Love your videos and work.
So now you have to make the handle for the drawer that holds the keyboard an ergonomic rest... Lol.
Great video as usual. I like how you document the process of thinking through the things you didn't think through at first. It is very honest and interesting.
Nice to see some sawdust in your shop ! Those are some sturdy drawers. Thanks for letting us watch ya build them .
It's nice to see you again :)
Thanks for the great video. But it felt kinda like a race to catch all the tips and tricks you employed to fit the drawers right! I appreciate your efforts to pack them all in one medium length video. I personally wouldn't mind at all a longer one to tell you the truth.
watch it at half speed, or watch it twice.
Love the MicroJig clamps. Once you understand the dovetail functionality, they are awesome!
Very clever. And useful to me - I need to improve some kitchen drawers in a 1960's house I just bought. Thanks.
Brilliant work, Matthias! Awesome mechanism! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yes! Mattias is back!
Once again a woodworking video from the master
SICK standing desk drawers
Awesome Tutorial Type Video!! Thanks
Do you ever use dry soap as a lubricant for wooden drawer slides etc.? I learned from my grandmother to always have a small bar of soap in my toolchest, to rub wooden sliding parts with. Works wonders and doesn't make a mess!
Completely unrelated to the video, but I love the way those round key caps look
love that too, but not ergonomic cause the tops are all flat with sharp edges
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
10:07 "guides to the sides of the slides" ❤
Thanks for sharing. I love the builds with corrective rework :o)
Nice engineering and craftsmanship Matthias! Now all you have to do is remember which drawer you put stuff in..haha!
Very clever solutions with scrap wood!
I was asked to do the same thing to two standing desks in our upstairs office. Since neither desk was ever in the full down position, I used hardwood strips between the lift frame and the top. That way I could get a deeper, taller drawer (think stapler) with bearing slides and soft close with no loss in height function. Even full down was still too low to be useful.
Great video thanks
Everyone: 'Handles the problem'.
Mathias : 'Wandels the problem'.
Those turned out nice and the journey was very enjoyable while it is the results that count, I do enjoy watching and hearing about the process.
Would it make sense to make other size drive gears for your box joint jig so that one turn could give you the spacing you want instead of having to count?
Another entertaining and informative vid.
Thanks for sharing.
its two turns on that gear. To make it one turn would be a very unweildy gear
Ah, I see maybe twice the diameter@@matthiaswandel
Hey matthias, I saw this woodworking short the other day where a guy drilled pocket holes but instead used dowels in place of the screws. You should strength test these joints I saw, see how much stronger they are.
Beutiful work❤❤
Good job
Finally a new video! 😍
one week was far too long a wait for you?
Very good 👏👏👏
that wht i call wood work .nice diy my guy.
thanks
Put a bevel engagement on the stops for the new/secondary/lower slide rail. That way it is locked "up" at, & a few cm before the full travel out stop.
Like a ratchet & pawl…
Drawer ___/ /___ stop
The stop could also go a bit lower, to prevent accidental removal, but allow ease of removal.
Using plywood for the T-shaped brackets was a good idea.
Matthias is getting into rap at 10:07
I love the thought of all this. I would love to be able to do similar items but my ADHD would never allow it. Something shiny would come along and distract me.
did something simular, but just with draw slides. Also added boxed in area at the back of desk for all cables etc, with doors from the top of the back of the desk, so I don't have to go under the desk to plug in stuf any more.
I'd appreciate if you could enable subtitles like most youbers do, because I've got difficulties to hear, thank you.
I would appreciate it if youtube did that too, but this channel is cursed that way. Works fine on my other channel.
Matthus your videos are very nice you have a lot of ideas about cut and router always watch your videos but request you to give me the template chart it would help me a lot thanks.❤️
Love your woodworking videos
Thanks for showing those mistakes (if you can even call them that). And how many drawers does a man need? 😅
Do you wax the runners for drawers like these, to make them slide more smoothly?
yes
I’m about to build the slot mortiser so if there’s ever going to be a version 2 I hope it’s soon!
No plans for one. I'm quite happy with the one I have!
Good old fashioned design by iteration.
4:01 “that’s kinda wasteful” he says with ~2” of waste on both edges
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. You lizard
Hello Matthias. I love your videos, they are out of the ordinary. I have a question: why don't the subtitles work because I speak English very badly and subtitles in French would be cool, I imagine for other languages too! See you soon. I use Deepl to translate !
I don't know. I keep getting that question. I wish I could ask someone at youtube why they don't generate subititles for this channel, Works fine on my other channel.
@@matthiaswandel Thank's for the response, good luck for an answer ! 🤢👀
Bravo Matthias 🙌 however, I wonder if it'd have been easier to have used a turnable 'button' in the middle of the back of the drawer that prevents it from being pulled out? 🤔
and what would that catch on?
I have always enjoyed your videos. May I ask that you include closed captioning in your videos? It would be a great help to those of us who are hearing impaired.
I have to wait for youtube to generate them. For unknown reason, on this channel, it takes months.
@@matthiaswandel Thank you for your prompt reply. I’ll continue watching your channel and hope TH-cam will be quicker.
Have you tested strength of box joints of different finger thicknesses?
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

Maybe you could've of made some kind of pivot that lowers and raises the drawers under the standing desk mechanism
And the lowered position is only for when I'm not actually using the desk cause they'd bump into my knees while lowered.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think it'd be easier to build a hollow top with spaces built in for each drawer! Those mechanisms look fiddly! Only you could pull that off...
in that case, the standing desk becomes higher, and doesn't go low enough anymore.
👍
Do you measure the woods moisture before building stuff with it?
no, I just make sure it's been around long enough to be dry for sure
@@matthiaswandel Thanks!
PS- do you ever have any issues with tight tolerances and humidity changes? 🤔 Or is your house pretty evenly climate controlled year round?
Many thanks. I’ll need to make those soon.
Just curious, what’s your preferred keyboard height. Mine’s bent elbow height.
that seems about right. but I don’t do a lot of typing with the keyboard in a drawer so it doesn’t matter so much
I like that height because I have a lot of papers to sign and any other height louses up my signature. Thanks for your reply.
I prefer the word Frugal to Cheap. These days, who can afford to waste anything so being frugal is best.
Is that bamboo plywood in the last bit of the video?
What about having the stop right on the front border and inserting the drawers from behind? Then screw a stop after placing the drawers so they don't fall off the back when you close them. Another solution could be screwing the sliders with the drawers already placed and make the sliders be closed at the ends. my2c
you are suggesting that I remove the desk top from the desk to insert and remove drawers? Cause, as you know from the video, the mechanism is in the way behind the drawers.
@@matthiaswandelyou could make the sliders be like a ramp from behind so you can insert them diagonally down-up-straight and then make the stopper be in the shape of the diagonal slider to clog it ^_^ my2c (this would require the drawer to have wheels tho now I think about it, or maybe small rounded pieces of wood would slide too? :/ Wait, you attach the sliders to the bottom, then hold the drawer in place between them and fit-slide the skis into the sides of the drawer with the back of the drawer already behind the top stopper?
If one of the walls on your box jig were taller or shorter your clamps wouldn't overlap. Even if you cut a slot for the clamp to slide into.
I want the clamps to press as far down as possible. A taller wall just means I can't do that.
@@matthiaswandel understood. Closer to the blade is probably better.
Is fix only glue? Looks like dangerous.
Matthias, could you have screwed one or two little stop blocks to the underside of the desk to stop them pulling right out?
yes, and it would also interfere with stuff in the drawer. Oh, and also prevent the drawer from fully closing!
@@matthiaswandelAwh, that would be a worse case scenario! Really appreciate your videos. Thanks
6:40 i tried to do exactly the same once and my workpiece shot of. Was it because i can't tilt the router in my table?
Either you did exactly the same, or your router doesn't tilt. Which is it?
@@matthiaswandel exactly the same referring to trying to cut a half round groove into the bottom of a piece of wood.
So many drawers

please can you active subtitle ? thanks !
I have a mental disorder that won't allow me to have drawers built and installed in so many different ways. Unfortunately I would have rebuilt the desk or the lift in order to have matching desks and drawers, I just couldn't sleep at night.
This is so close to becoming nerdy woodworker rap.
"So by adding guides
To the SIDES of the SLIDES
We move the drawers lower
Than where the motor HIDES."
Uh! Uh! Aw yeh!
It would be easy to just attach a stop block under the top of desk, so drawer doesn't fall out.
If I put a stop block under the desk, then the drawer wouldn't be able to close cause the front of the drawer hits it. And if its far enough back, then the drawer doesn't open very far.
You will become a Microjig convert, eventually
Dont call yourself cheap. It's different from frugal or thrifty or even tight.
Every time I see him use that ..I think...why hasn't he automated that thing yet
every time I use a drawer? Do explain!
