How To Build Simple Drawers // Woodworking // Kerfmaker 

I'm pretty sure the only reason she made this video was to see how many times she can say "drawer" on camera

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ru-vid.comUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

Nevermind the draws, just make sure that grove is exactly a Qwada inch

Well, I for one love the way you say 'drawer'! I love even more your attitude about it in your responses in the comment section, friendly and down to earth, not taking offense as so many today often do, about everything. I am also a fan of your design choices in all your projects. Take these drawers, for example -- perfectly suited to the application for which you were making them. Not tacked together with brad nails, glue and butt joints like a quick shop drawer, and not the other end of the complexity scale with fine joinery like dovetails, or even an interlocking rabbet joint. Solid bi-directional glue surfaces in the rabbeted corners, reinforced with screws, give all the strength you'll need. Even down to the floating bottom with an exposure in the back to remove it in case it ever needs repair. I used to think people used floating bottoms out of some snobbish loyalty to woodworking tradition, going back to the days when a glued-up solid wood panel could swell with humidity and blow out the corners, a problem that'll never happen with a stable plywood bottom. I stopped all such scoffing the first time I had to cut a glued and brad-nailed bottom off a drawer for a repair, using a junk blade and dressing up the cut with sandpaper, to avoid risking the carbide teeth on my nicer blade. I still make the glued, nailed, butt-jointed variety, but mostly for the shop or other applications where they're quick and dirty, and probably assembled from available scrap, and replaced by same. Anyway, enjoyed the video.... 'draws' and all! :)

How professional wood worker..great video, no music, no personal stories, safety first all the time, easy to understand and no female hidden suggestions. Pure professional wood working.

Love the tool! Used a 1/4” offset / step dado to lock in the front. Adds more glue surface and removes the need for fasteners. Keep up the amazing work!

Hi , I am and older woodworker started in 1976 in Canada west coast, it pleases me to see a talented lady like you, I wish you good lock , in the most wonderful trade in the world... lol.

I love how she says drawers. Aaaaand I’m jealous that she’s so skilled, lol

I've watched all your videos and enjoyed them and I just love the way you pronounce drawer/drawers.

I've watched this video multiple times already simply to hear Tamar say, "Draws" over and over again. I love it...and I love her!! 😍

I love the push stick.

Tamar, You are a blessing, I did scavenge through John Peter's draw making videos to fish out the one you were referring to in an earlier video, He has quite a few, but this one of your's tells me exactly what I need to, I need a lot of hand holding at each and every step as I am trying to get into woodworking, This one of your's does just that. Thanks a million.

Nice tutorial on draw building.

Nice job. Glad to see a talented woman in a mostly man world.

That kerf jig is the bomb! Making me one!

As ever, a clear and precise instruction video. Thank you for your inspiration and enthusiasm.

Finally a wood worker on RU-vid without a beard!

Great video and great timing for me! I just picked up a cache of 3/4" x 4" boards from Craigslist with the intent to make a bunch of drawers. I'm going to employ your design in their construction. Thank you!

Best I've seen so far! Congratulations on your amazing skills!

I've watched this video for the second time now and I am going to use this system to make the drawers in my kitchen. Thumbs up!

aaaah...satisfaction. truly watching people building things is so pleasurable

Congratulation! Es muy poco común encontrar una chica en esta bella profesión de la carpintería. Y bella además. Saludos desde Colombia.

Great job on this video! I’ve watched them all and love your grind to be better! I saw Dave Rhoten’s video on making a 3x3 Custom sign. It looks gorgeous and I can’t wait to see it in a future video!

Saw one of your vids in my feed and came back to hear you say “draws”… (I just love accents). Reading through the comments/replies it’s easy to see why you’re so popular - besides great to-the-point videos, you’re just a really nice person. I think we’d all like to be your friend. 😊

I was so wrapped up in how well you detailed this process I didn't catch the accent. The black corner squares are an epiphany to me!! I do elaborate frames and I like them very much. Thks as always.

Nice ideas in lieu of using a router to make the dadoes and other cuts. Cool as a hobbyist handyman I use a lot of the same tools including some Harbor Freight bar clamps, Ryobi 18g nail gun & many of the same Rockler tools. Although you used plywood for the bottom making it not necessary, cutting a v- groove along the back portion of the drawer and securing it to back "rail" support with wood screws that allows for humidity changes as Rob Cosman does is a good way to secure the bottom. The brass pin example you showed was a simple but actually dressy way vs screws or to half-blind or full dovetails securing the sides the the front. I may just try making a kerf maker modeled after your accreditable design. Thanks for sharing***

Love the way you say drawers. Great east coast accent. Thanks for the video

You make a great use of small helpers/rulers/gap assists, that you have made by yourself using scrap wood. It will be great if you can do an episode on how to build most helper tools that a starter won’t have to buy from the market and yet it gives great value in terms of alignment and scaling of objects while cutting and building. Oh and super video 👌🙂

Dawsssss😍 I love this woman.

Beatiful excelente es un arte, saludos desde Acapulco México

Enjoy your videos. Understand all your comments, very clear instructions. Oh - love the way you pronounce drawer!

Guitar push stick? That’s awesome!!

Always refreshing to review the basics. Also, since I was introduced to those corners two years ago, I made 8*40*40 cm, 8*20*20 cm and 8*10*10 cm. They're a great addition to my jigs collection. Well done Tamar, another cool video. Cheers.

I'm in Australia and your pronunciation of Drawer is perfect, I'm going to make that Kerfmaker jig, all your videos are pleasant to watch and learn from, thank you Tamar.

I'm from the West Coast California but I really enjoy your Eastern accent and how you pronounce the word drawer

Awesomeness Tamar. That jig is very useful. Think I need to make one. Now time for me to head back in the wood shop.

One of the best vids on drawer making I've seen so far.

I just loved your projects.

Nice video. Clear directions especially the kerf maker. Thanks for sharing.

I can’t wait to make that jig. Also your accent stood out for the first time to me in this video and made me smile.

Guitar shaped push stick? Just too cool!

Excelente video, muy ilustrativo, gracias por compartir

I came to this video in hopes that I would hear you saying drawer repeatedly. I was not disappointed. Your videos are great, teaching people to just not be afraid to try.

I work with plastics in my job but since I've found you on here I'm now building things out of scrap wood too :) thank you, these videos are so awesome, I borrowed some of your jig ideas too for work xD

Great instructions - thank you!

Ok Tamar. Parabéns pelo Jig......Nice!

I haven’t lived in NY for 30 years. Draws is music to my ears!

Another nice demonstration. Good practice measuring between dadoes from the 1" mark rather than from the tape measure hook ... but you do have to remember to subtract that 1". So after 'inching' myself too many times (any builder knows that reflexive verb), I began measuring from the 10. That way your last digit is the same, and you are more likely to catch the mistake if it is 10" rather than 1". Measure from the 10 to 33-5/16, that's 23-5/16.

Gotta get me a router plane. Been wanting one for a while. Got some "Drawas" in my future! :)

Excellent Job. Love the way you say Draaaaa. Lol. And yes the best test for durability is Kid Testing !!!

Thanks for the idea on the kerfmaker jig. Very clever convenient little tool. Now officially on my to-do list. :-)

Great little project. Thnx!!!

Excellent! Your skill can be compared only with your grace.

Nicely done!

That table saw push stick is awesome! Nice job on this, also.

*you are cool and special woodworking teacher ever☺*

Nice, I learned something. Thanks!

Now everyone can build drawers! Awesome Video!!!

I am always amazed by the quality of your job! Congrats.

i watched this a second time just to hear her say “drawers”

A very nicely made video, and a great way/method to make some drawers. Thanks. Barry (ENG)

Kolay bir düzenek ve milimetrik bir sonuç. Kesinlikle dahice. Tebrik ederim 😊

I like to hear you, and lot to learn from you. Thank you

My lighthearted comment below aside, really enjoy your videos. Well done. 👍🏼 👍🏼

Greetings from Pakistan... great video.

If you were to have any future failure of the drawer, I think it would be the back edge of the bottom. The pin nails primarily keep it from sliding, but if heavy items are in the drawer, it will eventually start pulling them out in the middle area as the bottom flexes. Screws would be a good option. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for a nice video

Brass pins is clever and quite elegant. I have used the smaller diameter finishing screws. They looked ok, to me. I really like this brass touch. Brass is easy to mill. We use brass and copper every day at work.

Good build, simply explained

Love your videos , I enjoy listening to you explain in detail, great video

Cool kerf tool. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. : )

a lady that not only is pretty, but bloody good at woodwork, what a combination , thanks for posting from Garry in the UK

Excellent job.

Hey Tamar, hope all is well with you, very nice craftsmanship! Can't wait to see the finished product. GREAT JOB!! 👍👍☆Jay☆.

Fast, good and effektive job.

Draw .............. er Great video, thanks for posting.

Great job !!

Nice Work! can't wait to see finished product.

Actually, most of the skilled people that I used to build cabinets with happened to pronounce “drawers” in the same way. 3X3, you make a nice product, striking a good balance between quality and productivity. The rabbet plane is a nice touch.

Confession...I didn't need a lesson on making drawers I watched just to hear her pronounce the word! I love how you say it! Great lesson and build though! Thanks for sharing.

ÓTIMO TRABALHO!!!

Nice!

The way you said Drawers just reminded me of Norm from Thre New Yankey Workshop :) Also ver cool Jig!

Awesome work Tamar!👍👊

Hello Tamar, as always a lot of nice tips, thank you :)

Great videoTamar, I really enjoyed your presentation of how to make drawers. I like your jig you’ve got there to ,I may have to make one of those myself.

Great instructions. I am saying the next part because of the sensless childish comments designed to undermine your terrific efforts....finally someone who pronounces drawer correctly!

Yes, her accent is thick, but I love it so much! I grew up N of Philly, close to the Jersey line, so this wasn’t the norm but was rather familiar. I really like it.

Me encanta ese sepillito me voy a hacer uno aquí son muy caros por eso armo mis propias herramientas si ! Hermoso trabajo y muy prolijo

love it.. for da draaaaws ! keep up the great work!

I love your accent 😊❤️ your my favorite lady wood worker 😊👍

Love the way you say drawer. ❤❤

You can tell the accent with the word 'drawer'. Love your videos. The 'drawer' pronounced as draaawrrr definitely pin points the area of the country. Of course you would think speaking with me when I say 'fixin to' would be a tell also. :)

I am making a conscious effort now to look for Tamar's video's where she makes any type of Draws.. Drawers. besides helping this newbie with well done,and informative videos , her accent is awesome..

Great video Tamar! the drawers look good' Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP

Perfecto. Saludos desde España.

Nice job!

Nice push stick!!!

Great video thanks
