The 999 Technique - efficient technique for making drawer boxes.
I had a project recently where a client wanted a huge unit built for storing his record collection. The 12" records were all going to go on big open shelving, but he wanted the 7" records in big wide drawers underneath the turntables.
I hadn't done too many drawer boxes before so was shopping around on RU-vid for efficient techniques.
I came accorss what is commonly known as the quarter quarter quarter technique. By setting up a router table or table saw with a dado-stack in a certain way, you can do all your cuts without any adjustments or changes.
However, I couldn't see any instructional videos using metric materials, so here we are.
I'm calling this the 999 technique. The perfect way of making quick, easy, and strong draw boxes and trays using 18mm stock for the walls and 9mm stock for the drawer bottoms.
YOU WILL NEED A 9MM ROUTER CUTTER OR A DADO STACK THAT GOES TO 9MM

Thank you so much for this video, I have watched many of the ones from the USA, and they are really good, but yours was so much easier to follow, your video was superb, nice clear well illuminated shots, and your explanation of of which way round the draw bottom slots were to be cut was a total joy. Nice to see it being done on a home made router table without any unnecessary frills and not using an unobtainable dado saw blade. It was also nice to see in large letters how much the shots had been speeded up. I look forward to using your 999 technique . Regards Chris

Ah metric. Such Joy to watch woodwork projects in metric!

Great vid, one of the only ones I've seen that uses a router table instead of a dado stack. Nice. Your audio could use a little tweaking. Vocals were very low, and tools were very loud. Nice and concise.

@DIYTinkerer 3 года назад

Thanks nice video, I've also seen this called the 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 where half refers to half the thickness of the boards - which works for Imperial and metric and any thickness boards, keep up the good work!

Well explained video and nice end result. I really need to make a router table after watching this.

@yukonstudio4859 3 года назад

Yes it seems to offer a lot of bang for your buck in terms of versatility Vs workshop space. To be honest I really need to finish mine off, all it is is an old kitchen worktop with a hole cut in it for the router

Well done bud. Greetings from Cape Town

@RobertsAdventure 2 года назад

Thanks for this, I've got a jobsite table saw that won't take a dado stack so was looking for someone who'd done this drawer method with a router. I also don't have a proper router table yet so seeing your DIY one (which is proper enough!) was also perfect. Cheers!

Thanks David. Can't honestly claim to be an Indians fan, I found the cap in a thrift store years ago and just liked the design! I've since read about the emancipation of Chief Wahoo though, so I guess now it's a collectable!

@rickgordon8377 3 года назад

Like your ideas. I'd be interested in watching more because you understand what you are doing and keep it intelligently simple. Your space is small an you make the most of it. We have that in common. Hope you will look into making a better sound quality for your videos in the near future. All the best to you.

@yukonstudio4859 3 года назад

Thanks Rick. Yes I actually managed to get pretty decent sound quality then I fucked it up in premiere. I've been meaning to re-export and upload but haven't got round to it. The vocal is really quiet and then the router table is deafeningly loud!!

@derekness7900 9 месяцев назад

Good video-I am making drawers. Based in UK so no dado stack option for the table saw-but cmt do a grooving blade at 6mm thick that easily fits the saw. So 6mm for all the other dimensions and I use 12mm ply ( although thicker can be used for the base) and a new zero clearance insert for the table saw

@yukonstudio4859 9 месяцев назад

What table saw are you using? I finally have a bigger workshop so was thinking about getting a proper one (I've got a shitty benchtop 'table saw')

@derekness7900 9 месяцев назад

@@yukonstudio4859 I am using a table saw in a Rhobland combination machine X310 which is a bit old but still works fine

@TheEcorristine 3 года назад

Lovely router table. Excellent video, very clear and concise. Good look with you new channel, you've certainly earned a new subscriber, am a newbie to wood working, only been at it a year, but absolutely love it. Your workshop looks brilliant, I have ordered a steel tech shed last week So hopefully it will be with me in about 14 weeks. How did you fit out your work shop, it looks amazing. No one has made or even explained how they board those out, possible idea for a new video. Wouldn't need to redo it just explain how , might be a thought. Any hoo. Keep up the videos, it'll be worth it in a year or so. I'm a big fan of Uncle knackers, he does good honest videos, no fancy workshop with only a handful of tools, Australian bloke.

@yukonstudio4859 3 года назад

Hey mate thanks for the comment. Yes I mean to document the build of the workshop but generally when I get going on something I'm terrible at bothering to record! Don't think it's worth putting a video up of me just talking about the shed though!

@lafamillecarrington 4 дня назад

Do you get tear-out when cutting the rabbet? I wondered if using a sacrificial block to hold the drawer front up against the fence would eliminate that possibility. Just going to see if I have a 9mm router bit!

@Fredunio19 3 года назад

Instant sub. Make video about puting together this router + table please :)

@ejorddny Год назад

Glad I found this since I don't have a dado stack and wanted to solve this on my router table. I was trying to see if there was a trick to cutting the rabbets without resetting the fence; you did it by passing the workpiece between the router bit and the fence (starting at 5:16) which I've always been taught is very dangerous

@yukonstudio4859 Год назад

Yes that's the crux of this technique really. I can't see why it would be particularly dangerous. It's quite easy to lean over and ruin the workpiece though!

@ejorddny Год назад

@@yukonstudio4859 I get the simplicity, but it's still very dangerous. Like I said above, you should never feed the workpiece between the cutter and the fence. Don't take my word for it, search router table safety. Also, you're making a climb cut by feeding the board right to left on the "wrong" side of the cutter. That could turn your workpiece into a missile and pull your hands towards the cutter at the same time

@pkralla 3 года назад

the black metal cladding looks nice on the workshop, can you make a video about it?

@yukonstudio4859 3 года назад

Hi Priit. I got it from a place called Cladco. It was my intention to document the whole build process of the workshop, but of course I didn't, so haven't really got much to share unfortunately

@tagquasar8791 8 месяцев назад

Would it be an option to stop the router a mm short of the edge for the bottom of the drawer so you wont see that hole at the front? Never made a drawer so im just trying to imagine how this would look

@yukonstudio4859 8 месяцев назад

These are just the drawer boxes, so you don't see that hole because you put the drawer front on afterwards

Stumpy Nubs video calls it half, half, half. As in half the thickness of stock

@ccrjason 11 месяцев назад

In case it's useful, rabbet is the American word for rebate, which is more widely used in the UK for the same physical thing.

@andybawn1 3 года назад

nice clear video, you do need to up the sound when your talking and knock it down when your machining , it almost took my ears off when you turned on the router ☹

@yukonstudio4859 3 года назад

Yeah I know, sorry about that. I can't now reupload without losing the views and the commentary. I will monitor it more for future videos though! Thanks for watching

@pb2959 2 года назад

Great video, but do NOT glue the bottom into the dados. The bottom needs to be free to move as it will expand at a different rate than the surrounding wood.

@WillieBeamenApex Год назад

It's all plywood for indoor furniture, expansion is irrelevant in this application. If you don't believe me, build a piece and try it for yourself.

@pb2959 Год назад

@@WillieBeamenApex shooting. Plywood does not expand and contract ? Magic!

@paulwhealy5243 3 года назад

1/2 mm less on the height and there would be no visible gap on those joints.

@ronlaverdiere 2 года назад

0.62 mm less and he would have a gap the other way. It is finnicky until it is just right.

@russellesimonetta3835 3 года назад

Just think half the width. 18 mil? 9, 10 mil? 5

@jamesdemery104 3 года назад

Great job, finally this method in metric. Did you use 9mm because that was the head size that you had. For 18mm thickness 9mm is of course 1/2 ? Method is great. Thanks for sharing.

@ronlaverdiere 2 года назад

This is disappointing because it looks like you do have good, well presented information. So unfortunate that I had to watch it without sound. People really need to watch their own videos before posting so they can edit them with corrected volume levels.

@yukonstudio4859 2 года назад

Yes yes read the comments below, my ineptitude as a sound engineer is well trodden ground. I would suggest locating the volume switch and turning it up, then down again when the router runs. It's plenty watchable this way
