- I have made a closet shelf storage system to hold standardized boxes. This will be the storage area for my new office. The shelves are made with 3 inch wide birch plywood slats. I was hoping to get 5 boxes across but ended up only being able to do four.

"More complicated than it needed to be." That should be carved on Frank's headstone.
Haha, I love it how you included the blooper with the camera at 3:10
I wondered how much of that I should show, it looks like it is getting noticed with out being too obvious.
The camera just didn't want to continue it's life anymore.
I saw that and immediately scrolled to the comments to see how many jumped on it. I started laughing watching the camera just give up on life.
Poor camera just went "I can't..."
I was going to say this exact thing.
I'm sorry if this sounds odd to you, but I listen to your videos to fall asleep. I don't even own any equipment to make furniture to begin with. I just have trouble falling asleep after 14 hours of working every day. Somehow, your videos could calm me down and watching the whole process of creating pieces of furniture is really satisfying. Thank you Frank.
wow theres sooo many places/rooms for storage in your home now. This one, the kitchen storage room, the pantry, the hidden basement thing.. PLUS all the storage in every actual room, in the basement, the kitchen, the sidedoor/laundry area, it's crazy. I used to always get rid of my stuff and minimalize because I didn't have storage, you just build storage, and its beautiful to watch
The story telling in your videos is impeccable no matter how the project turns out or if you make a mistake (we're all human). Always enjoy your videos no matter the subject.
the best laid plans often go awry. It would be easy for you NOT to tell your viewers about it but you do which is part of what makes your videos so instructive. Bravo.
The one woodworking channel where I watch the video even I don't think I'll make the final product. Video quality...excellent. Teaching quality...excellent. Entertainment value...excellent :-)
Those rendered visuals in the beginning were beautiful. It makes it much more clear.
The highlighted 3D renders are awesome too.
Always enjoy your videos Frank. I have experienced the same frustration with thinking everything has been measured and checked and then along comes something to stuff it up!
Frank! Cardboard boxes are very easy to custom make yourself. You can even use plastic cardboard which usually lasts longer than cardboard itself. Btw you are my favourite. I'm a film student who likes woodworking; your the perfect match.
The quality of your video graphics is astounding.
Very nice storage system and I always enjoy your videos so much! It looks just fine with 4 boxes instead of 5 and there is plenty storage space.
You might find that the space in the middle becomes one of your best ideas ever.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Always make me smile and often make me chuckle.
Thanks! You just keep getting better.
Another great video Frank. Thank you for including us in your build GW
Thanks Frank - handy stuff! If you keep your eye out at the big box stores, I'll bet you can find a box or plastic storage bin that will fit in the center exactly! Keep the dimensions handy!
If you are not planing to stack those boxes on top of each other you could just cut off the sides of the lids then glue the back of the lid to the box and if needed add some velcro or something to the front.
Nice job Frank. At 6:50 using the nailer, if you hold the nailer at 90 deg to your direction of travel...so that the hose points down, if a nail goes sideways it will go into the wood and not out the surface.
what a wonderful video, always enjoy seeing how you work out your builds.
Not sure what I liked more... Great project, great design and great narration!!!!
Thanks for putting in your thoughts. It makes for a better learning experience.
Nice project Frank.
Your videos are a pleasure to watch.
Great idea Frank, love your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Your job is awesome and inspires me as a woodworker, Frank. Greetings from Czech republic!
those bloody baseboard trim everybody forgets about them until its time to install cheers
Neat design! Another brilliant library foiled by the books.
I like the shot of the camera sinking, I saw the footage on Instagram and knew you would have a back up. Top draw storage as always bud. Blaise
I have a feeling this is going to lead into a large multi part series on working on your office and I am very excited.
+J_LaP part 2 is coming
watching videos like this has made me start looking more closely at my scraps and trying to use them for more. I also would have never thought to use plywood for a project like this and would have went straight to 1x lumber, which would have been a lot more expensive, although 2 nice sheets of 3/4 ply isn't very cheap either.
Frank, you re human! I love it!
A beautiful video for a basement closet, nice work!
Man, that "son of a..." moment when a small detail bites a project in the tuckus. We've all been there. ;)
Beautiful film (as always), Frank!
You done it again. Thank for quality work.
Make the center tall enough for drawing tubes and a tilt out drawer
Frank reminds me of an ol cabinet maker that is good friends with dad, except being the John Ford of woodworking films!
That mortiser is something else!
The space in the middle looks great.
I really liked this closet !
Like always , awesome work and video. You are one of the makers that inspired me to start my own channel. Hope to meet you in Atlanta. Thanks
Love the videos you make Frank, thank you for creating amazing content. Very inspiring :)
I have almost no interest in woodworking, but for some reason, I find your videos and style very relaxing and entertaining, keep it up!
Hi Frank, I really like your videos, you are brilliant on so many levels, thanks for sharing your projects, I can't wait to watch the next one. Can I suggest to adjust the mortise chisel and drill to be timed so they contact the wood at the same instance, this may help with the tear-out. Having a little experience, I used to work at a wood garage door company there in Portland, often I was given responsibility of odd jobs such as rebuilding the commercial wood working machines, sharpening planner blades, well you get the idea. This included sharpening the mortise drill and chisel sets by hand. Start on the outside with flat oil stones, coarse to finer grits ( on the outside, don't remove more then 0.001") the real cutting work is on the inside of the chisel body. Using oil stones, follow the existing geometry of the inside edges. They can be sharpened with round and half-round oil stones until the chisel edge is nearly razor sharp. Hope this is useful.
You could create a file folder rack system for quick access or organization. Would definitely help for an office area. Great video! I watch every one.
Frank; I noticed at your mortise closeup that the bit and chisel moved as you were approaching the last plunge. This is a normal drawback with these machines. When using a mortising machine, plunge the left and right ends first, then chip away at the middle. Doing this will force the ends to be straight because of the wood that is on both sides of the bit. The middle of the mortise doesn't matter because you will have to overlap your plunges anyway.
YEEE ive been waiting for you to upload, your videos have honstly gotten me into both filmmaking and woo working man thank you
great build frank
Frank, those skinnier spots leftover in the middle would be a good place to put some custom sized crates, from palette wood, or something thin and cheap.
Nicely done - thanks for the excellent tutorial - as always
Yup, that's a pit. Looking forward to seeing it turn into a swan from an ugly duckling!
Love seeing all the mistakes as they unfold!
Yes, i'm excited about setting up a nice space to work in
Mistakes, we all make them and we can all learn by each others mistakes.
I was so happy when you used the mortoiser instead of the CNC!
Great vid as always, Frank! I had to laugh at the end - I've done the same thing myself with those Bankers Boxes - forgot to account for the extra width/height of the lids... "D'oh"
Great work again and again!
try using your mortiser on the outsides of the mortise first, then the centre, then keep halving what you have left. so theres always even pressure on either side of the chisel. stops the chisel from bending and making the sides of the motise slopping back into the motise.
you can use this slopping effect from the other side once the main part of the mortise is done if you are going to use wedges for a through mortise and tenon.
Love everything you do
I just love your work, videos. I could watch all day. But, then I would not get my projects completed.
Great to see another 'Frank Makes', missed ya! Franks videos have inspired me to try some of the filming techniques he uses in my video's. Not as good as Frank's though!
Your video production is INSANE
great idea Frank
A very elegant piece of work. Perhaps your children could construct some DIY boxes for the middle part. It might make a good school project.
Frank! we missed you!
faster. stronger. better.
Someone much more talented than me need to put Franks videos to Daft Punks Harder Better Faster. :)
Thumbs up for Mrs. Howarth's heavy lifting...yes, your office is a pit...I like many of the ideas in the comments for that center section, but liked the magazine idea the best...liked!
Thanks for sharing. Another great video.
Instead of traditional mortise and tenon, I have gravitated to floating tenons. I cut all the mortises with my hybrid pantorouter, and use scrap hardwood for the floating tenons. It's fast and arguably stronger than traditional mortise and tenon, especially in plywood.
+Brian Taylor yes I thought about that, my pantorouter is in for an upgrade, so I don't have it at the moment
Nice job Frank
Love your shows. constantly inspired
A thought to share:
A turner was telling me that he dries his bowl blanks packed in sawdust and that there is no warp or split.
I thought your dust collection unit could have an attatched shelf system, where you could stack bowls and pack them in sawdust as you run your dust collector anyway.
I could read up but i think there might be an improvement on drying time when blanks are packed in dust.
Other thought: The lathe makes a big mess....and as I get ready to set my floor for my lathe's home...I'm thinking of having a removable panel on the floor with a grid covered box that i can vent to my dust collector. I thought your lathe could be on a small vacuum platform to do the same job
Best and thanks for inspires
F
Great build, Great video. Thanks Frank
Great video

Great video
The best laid plans... it's still a ton of storage and I'm sure you'll figure out what to do with the center.
Strong shelves.👍🏼
Awesome vid. If I may give some advice on the mortiser chisel, it looks like from the vid that your chisel is not square to the reference surface or fence. When I set up my mortiser, I will use the back fence or use a block that I know is square to reference off the back fence to line up the two surfaces. This will eliminate the zig-zag appearance on the sides of the mortice. BTW that Yates mortiser is awesome! I thought my Powermatic was big but holy cow!
Not like you can't make some custom boxes to fit the center area..... Nice job Frank, looks good. Scott
Спасибо, Вы как всегда мастер на все руки !!!
Always love your vids
You could possibly use the skinny comic book storage boxes for the center area, they are only 7.5 inches wide
Strips? Strips. Strips! STRIPS! ;)
Great video, Frank.
Plastic shoeboxes ate great for storage of smaller items. If you could add a shelf to each center space you might get 4 boxes in each.
You can make some cool racks or drawers for more commonly used items for the middle.
maybe some drawers in the middle Frank.
or some small wooden boxes
also a good idea.
Make some crates!
My wife suggested my old wood working magazines, which fit!
why not make some magazine boxes to store them in?
2:34 I like your discussion and rationale leading up to this, combined with the fact that you actually did it. Had this been me, I'd have ultimately thrown the boxes of stuff into the closet and slammed the door.
+John Smith lol
I freaking love your content
How about a Pantorouter? Get together with Mr Mathias Wandel.. If you guys collabed it'd be like two stars colliding.
but i also thought the pantorouter would have been better for the mortise and tennons... that mortiser machine seems crazy huge for what it can do
I think I have spotted a metal pantorouter in a previous video,can't say if he has ever used it in one though.
Frank has a Pantorouter. He used a long time ago.
You'll end up building simple removable plywood boxes for the center, of course!
Frank, I'm not sure what width your remaining space is, but you may be able to use Comic Book Storage Boxes. They are constructed exactly like banker boxes, are cheap, and would continue the visual theme you've created. (I've bought a couple to store my wife's clothing pattern envelopes - they happen to be just the right size and are cheaper than the "prettier" equivalent the fabric stores sell.)
Happy to see a mortises and tenons instead of so many nails
Great project either way...devil is in the details. Curve ball thrown now you have some more video content to show what you will build for the centers.
Yes, every problem is an opportunity.
Great video as usual. I always learn a little something on every one, and they're always entertaining. You could post a video entitled, "2 Hours of Me Reading the Phone Book," and I'd still check it out.
nice new animation at the end!
Clear totes. Always clear totes.
thanks for sharing Mr Frank :)
Good job.
you can make wooden boxes/bins for the central space
beautiful
Amazing video as always! can i ask how you did the wireframe animations in the beginning of the video? Thanks :)
Same question! And what software is that?
It's about time!!! :)
Yes! I can relax for 5 minutes.
You could make wooden containers to put in the middle. kind of a specially designed box.
Very nice animation! :)
Great Idea
You need a track saw for those full sheets!
plus, those boxes tend to bulge when loaded up, even with lids. You would get drag and squeeze issues if you put them in that tight.
Impressed that your closet was square.
6:10 I never saw that you hung up the sign that Rainfall Project made you until this!
This is awesome!! I have company down the road that has scrap plywood strips from laser cut outs. I can do this for free
