:D RU-vid money! I love Matthias's examples of thrift and re-use of wood materials. He sets a great example for how old wood can be made into very useful basement / workshop things.
Look man come to jersey one day I will fill you a truck of 3/8 scrap that will last you a year bring a trailer its luan underlay I'm serious I can only build so many drawers with this for my shop the rest goes in the dumpster
This is fantastic. I appreciate your snarky messages, and you not editing out "oopsies" such as knocking things over. That is definitely a familiar feeling! Your various table saw jigs are quite nifty. Clearly you are a professional. Thank you for this video.
Great video and a wonderful way to make good use of scraps for any type of storage - workshop, garage, etc. I especially liked that you included video of your cutting and construction methods as you went. I learned as much from watching how you went about cutting as I did from your construction method for these. Thanks for another fantastic teaching session!
i love you videos, i've been woodworking since i was 10 and i'm 14 and i've been making things for my family, i learn from your videos so keep up the good work
It is really refreshing to see a guy using serviceable salvage. Maybe it is true that we assign a moral value to our financial interests but I think you do the right thing.
it is the first time I see you been hit by the wood, nice to see your job and make clear there are risk in woodworking but lots of fun. Thank you Matthias
If your box joint jig makes it take less time to cut them than to put them together, it's doing its job. Nice vid! Love your stuff, great content as always.
Nice compact design. Like the half glue up on the drawers. I've done that before on picture frames. Makes it so much easier to keep/get square. Clamp pile!
Absolutely professional......... But i think it's not worth it to take all that time assembling those boxes while you can use some screws and telescopic slides instead. But after all.... Matthias is a pro no matter what are our opinions. Thanks Matthias.
Great timing! I was thinking about storage for canning jars (full and empty), this would be a heavy duty way... and I can make them only counter height to making lifting easier. Thanks Matthias!
I'm going to build something like this into some of my interior walls with nice door panels to hide them. This was some great info in this vid. Outstanding build friend. 👍 😉
Matt, you never cease to amaze me. Your skills in making tools and projects are astronomically great. But dude you might want think about slowing down you could lose a finger and not even know it as fast as you appeared to be moving. LOL
4:23 Did you see that - after he stumbled, he moved it out of the way. Maybe I should start doing that too. I can stumble 3 times and I still don't move the damn thing.
A very good idea for storing many things.especially if you have very little space like in my case.a big thank you for sharing mathhias,from greece.thumbs up!!!
Oh no, now you've raised my consciousness and I realize I need a new tool -- a groove stack! New tools are good, I'll look on Amazon and see how much they cost.
Matthias, your use of the term "dado" for the drawer bottom groove is absolutely correct in wood joinery terms. Here is a link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dado_(joinery) . And a rabbet (or rebate, as our cousins in England insist) is when the groove is on an edge of the board and only has one wall.
I don't mean any disrespect to Matthias as he is one of my favorite RU-vid wood workers. I always look for the humor in things and can't help to mention the length of his sleeves (awkward) and when he is batching out a stack of drawer parts haphazardly causing them to fall to the floor! Oh, and that geared contraption that he uses to make the box joints is nothing short of brilliant! On a serious note, I'd like to request that Matthias could make a video for us less informed with electrical use, how exactly to safely repurpose a small motor such as a washing machine motor a/c motor, etc... for use as a wood working tool motor and explaining exactly how to know what kind of motor can be used along with how to hook it up properly, etc.. That shared knowledge would be much appreciated!
I have a few videos about motors. But because these are all different, what you need is good understanding of motors. If I told you about one, that won't help for another motor.
I love the "for the pedantic" annotation on the video, for whatever reason it just tickled my fancy this morning so thanks for being awesome you fancy tickler you!
Dear , i was going to make the same project, and this help me so much :) u build it in v good strong structure also it can be covered with 3M veneered MDF to got cabinet look thanks for that greet job , i like all of your videos which inspired me to reclaim wood as so
I've seen that he's got at least two *large* drawers/bins, each appearing to be approximately a 2ft/61cm cube, filled with clamps of every size and kind. But there truly is no such thing as enough clamps...
Us cyclists have a formula for how many bikes is enough. b=n+1 where b is the number of bikes one needs and n is the number of bikes one has. I think it may apply to clamps too.
I had to rewind you hitting your finger a few times, I was amazed that you didn't skip a beat when you did it. When do we get to see some more dumpster raids?
When I was an apprentice we used a "Verleimständer" to assemble boxes such as this. Real useful and does not take up a lot of space in terms of floor area.
You have it so easy Matthias, you actually _like_ working with wood. The rest of us, we just use it because it is so cheap. Not quite dirt cheap, but it literally grows on trees. We have to decide if buying plastic boxes wouldn't be more reasonable, and then we'd wonder if all that stored junk is worth more or less than the storage containers....
If you make your own stuff to save money, you probably won't. Because it only saves you money if the time you spend making it qualifies as free time, if it feels like work, well, paid work would get you further. Also at least over here, buying the wood to make stuff often already costs as much as buying the ready made stuff. Of course, recycling old wood makes it into a completely different story. Nonetheless: if you don't enjoy this kind of thing, chances are it won't save you money either. As for me: I do. Enough to even be willing to lose money on it if that's what it takes to get me more shop time :P
Call me old and battered at 65, but that wore me out watching the amount of work that went into the 10 drawers. I am sure I would have made them another 100 % bigger with a partition in each and stopped at 4 or 5. Or, maybe just a shelf to admire my junk or simply used cardboard boxes.
