I'm surprised John's drill and impact driver are not made out of wood. This guy is unbelievably talented.

I’ve watched this before as well as several other toolbox builds and this is by far completely unparalleled! And he makes it with his collection of quality power shop tools which he’s also made! This guy is amazing!

does anyone else find this mans videos very satisfying to watch? because i sure do! love this channel!!

He's helping people improve their lives by showing them they can fill a need at a fraction of the cost.

The work ethics, softness of voice, tidy look of workshop, wooden instruments, his appearance - every single thing is decent, impeccable and in a highly professional style. The videography is excellent as well. Simple and easy to do project. 10/10 Johnny.

Wow John! Simple in appearance and design is truly the King in diy. This is one of my favorite projects you've built so far, and I have been following along for several years now. I really love this design. My grandfather often said start with the complicated and work towards the simple. And this is clearly well thought out and streamlined. Thanks for sharing and doing what you do.

They'll say you make it look easy. I think you make it look like years of experience, [ polished patience & accuracy ] make it look easy. I'm still woefully practising! Beautiful project!

I love the no nonsense just get it done approach....it's why I subscribed several years ago....nice build John

I have been following you for a couple of years now, and I have to tell you that your amazing!!! Keep the great projects coming!!!

Been pencil-ticking metal straight-edge rulers & trying to erase them clean for years. Heard the term _story stick_ many times from finish carpenters but _never_ thought to ask what it was. Didn't realize I was actually making them in a very crude fashion until you commented about using wood with a good edge as one. Had to Pause the video so the headbanging could commence! Talk about a V8 moment! Thank you! That tidbit alone was worth all the time spent with you and Neil! LOL

It is obvious you have talent and enjoy your work. Your comments and little tid bits told me you can walk the walk! I enjoyed your sharing of this toolbox

I love watching you practice your craft, John. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks John! Another well made video I appreciate the time you've put in.

Awesome stuff as always, John. I love that streaky inclusion in the plywood veneer that runs around the outside of the box. Very cool.

Anyone else like the shots of the iron. I found that surprisingly enjoyable.

Since the onset of the pandemic my free time for YT content has evaporated. I realized after seeing this how much I missed / enjoyed your content. This is a great build. I don't know that I'm ever going to get the bandwidth to make one, but I'm getting the plans anyway. The build article is awesome as well, and I appreciate the subtlety of your video edits - you continue to get better at this part of your craft as well. Keep up the great work!

Awesome! The drawer slide idea is very smart.

You're a master of making complicated things look simple. Well done!

Wow. Impressive design, execution and features. Beautiful work, John.

Wow! Homemade drawer slides! Amazing,

I make fitted bedrooms for a living (i think you call them closets in the U.S ) with many drawer units, I have to say it's a real pleasure watching you make those drawer units .... a real craftsman at work , well done.

WELL DONE! Nice design, good construction methods, and a wonderful video production. Also, thanks for showing us the minor adjustments needed when building any project.

Wonderful! Congratulations, Sir John! May God continue to bless you and empower you more and more every day. Many people here in Brazil are your fans.

It is a pleasure and an education to watch you work.

You are the master of wood ! Another amazing piece of craftsmanship. Well done John

what an amazing workshop youve created

Thanks John!! Great design and excellent build strategy! You make it look simple but there’s a lot of thought in this design. Thank you for sharing.

this is my 2nd watching of this build.You do a great job on getting all the details perfect. I like this wood slide idea. it looks like it works very well with the drawer movement. Thank you

Thank you John, I always watch your videos with great pleasure. This one is very good with a great project.

Fantastic build John! Thanks for sharing with us!!

Excellent build, John. Your drawer slides are ingenious. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece. Felix

Thanks John. Very nicely planned and executed!

Phenomenal build John. Another very well done and thought out project.

Awesome creation! ... idea... make the sliding system of the drawers visible and let it determine the overall design.

love this. and the casual use of everything else that john built himself

Beautiful and practical piece John. Great job.

That's' an awesome box not only for tools but for anybody who has a collection of a lot of small things - except of course, not for things that one would want on display.

You make it look easy, a true sign of skill.

Gorgeous work! Quite inspiring! During quarantine, I redesigned my never-been-touched-since-1961 kitchen on paper. You know the original setup.. clothes washer next to stove, clothes dryer next to fridge in the dining room, no dishwasher, galley kitchen with blank, empty wall at the end. Including the dining room, its 9' by 24'. Oh, and no pantry! The original few cabinets were stick built in place and rock solid, but not configured well. I can see this as a cab next to the sink or along blank wall. Something to do next lockdown... rubs hands together happily!!! Edit to add.. also happily a new subscriber!

Very nicely done. Love the simple design for the drawer slides.

Great work and proper table saw technique (not always seen on the RU-vids). Love the homemade tools!

Incredible. Excellent build. Thanks for posting.

Very fresh to watch. You're a real pioneer here on RU-vid.

Beautiful

Great project John! A ton of work made to look easy.

incredible work, not sure what I am more impressed with the bench or the DIY tooling you have made. Subscribed!

It’s important to note that this cabinet is prone to tipping with heavy items in it. I would recommend that you include attached security straps or fasteners in the back. I love my copy of this cabinet and it works and looks wonderful. Great video

So amazing to watch a master at his craft.

Superbe réalisation ! des procédés remarquables de précision ! j'adore Merci et encore Bravo

Superb, awesome, wonderfully finely crafted. Or words to that effect... Top work as usual John 👌👏

I'm so glad I found this channel!

very nice!!! Great plan and execution John!

I wished I could do something like this, it sure looks gratifying.

This whole video is like a subliminal advertisement of this channel. The table saw, table saw fence, panel jig, push stick, miter saw station w/ zero clearance insert, workbench, F-style clamps, bar clamps, vice grip clamps, sanding block, router table...all of it home built, and that's just what is actually used in this project. I need to stop watching and start doing. Thanks for the inspiration and plans, John.

Excellent John I love the old school hand made clamps and tools you have made.

Anyone wondering how much these can hold, John posted another video about this build on his “Scrap Bin” channel basically at the same time as this. The short answer is “a lot.” One of them has 12 pounds of sockets and a few big boxes of screws in em and seems fine.

A few decades of tips, tricks, and craftsmanship packed into this video 👊

You sir are a true craftsman!

Thats was a nice build. Impresive, thank You for showing it.

That is a beautiful piece of workmanship

This is a great idea. I was looking a perfect and cool Toolbox and you did it. Thank you.👍

Really like your home made, plywood, full extension slides! Never seen that done before!

Great stuff, once again, John. Been wanting to make something like this myself.

Absolutely beautiful work!!

I’ll be glad when I get the plans…. This guy is an wood educator…and at my skill level, this build will be fun AND educational

It looks gorgeous! Nice work!

Great job on the toolbox John! Thank you for sharing it with us!💖👍👌😎JP

Great video. Cool ideas. Thanks for the tip on installing the drawer fronts.

I have a pretty decent mechanical aptitude....but after watching this I am now questioning everything. You make it look so easy. A true mark of a genius and a craftsman. Well done, sir.

I really like the look of that cabinet, especially the full length drawer pulls.

I built this for my garage rather than buying a 44" steel cabinet from HD/HF. Very happy with the outcome. I did go with traditional slides. It works great. Thanks for the content and plans!

Always taking things to another level.

I thought the thumbnail had some vertical slat genius, JH invention included. Nah, just plywood pattern. I'm glad I saw that small pic, and wondered what the great idea was. I finally visited the plans page after 3 years. Thanks, John for all those gifts. a nice collection of fine ideas. Seeing the steps it occurs to me I need that. Thanks for all your effort at YTU. You are one of my favorite Professors.

Nice project, thanks for posting it.

There are so many things I like about this video. I'm definitely going to have to get these plans. I enjoy making shop projects and I'm finding myself needing more drawer storage. I'm always putting it off because I don't want to spend the money on drawer slides and hardware. This solves that. I need to make these drawer slides. And those handles look great.

Awesome build. Really like the drawer mechanics.

AMAZING project! I wish I had the skills & tools necessary to build an amazing piece like this!

Awesome. Nice build. Great idea with the handles. I am going to do that to my own workshop cabinet I built that has been waiting for draw fronts for over a year.

Just brilliant, John, as usual.

What an awesome and affordable storage cart!! Love the drawer slides, because they are so affordable compared to buying the roller ball bearing style.

I like the "best homemade table saw fence" plug 👍

Incredible build. Just awesome!

Awesome project, John. Thanks for sharing! Cheers from BC

This looks like our next project. We need a nice toolbox and even if we use quality plywood and hardwoods, it's still less expensive than anything built by Mac Tools or Snap-On. It's more rewarding to build your own anyway. Thank you for the inspiration.

Very nice and convenient!

Wonderful creation John!

Great job! My favorite build of yours

Another fantastic build

One thing that I understand: the cuts must be VERY precise and a tablesaw is mandatory.

Excellent project and video. Thank you!

I think your wooden drawer slides are the most lovely idea in this project - but there are many others Your table saw is another lovely build, especially the fence.

John, you are a genius!!

Absolutely beautiful John. Almost to good for a workshop.

What a gorgeous toolbox!

John, you are very talented. Thank you for the video. I purchased the plans.

I'm very impressed with your work . I would have liked to have a teacher like you in my school .

Bonjour, Superbe réalisation toute en bois, J'AIME BEAUCOUP. Un grand salut de la France.👍👍👍👌

Lovely build.

Thanks for uploading this video. I am a great fan of your work and only wish I had the time and money to be able to do what you do. Having said that I still get a great deal of satisfaction watching a true craftsman at work. 👍👍👍👍
