Any woodworkers?

I'll post another pic after I put the drawers in to be judged!

 

I will say making the drawer and leaving the front faceplate off and attaching it after installing the body of the drawer (video I saw he used double sided tape to get the gaps perfect before screwing) was something I saw after the fact. IF I do another one, that’s how I’ll do it going forward

 

Looking good!
You are going to have tons of storage when complete.

 

At about the 14 minute mark, he starts showing how.

Oh those clamps are awesome!

I made mine recessed and the front was integral to the entire drawer slide which was a nightmare

 

With recessed drawer faces, I use the playing card trick. If you know exactly where the drawer pulls are going to be, you can use those holes to secure the drawer face then pull the drawer out and secure with screws from the back. Then drill the rest of the way through from the drawer pull to fully install its hardware.

Oh nice call on those clamps, I've watched that video before and didnt clue into it. Thank God for Amazon next day shipping, they are on the way!

 

Been sober for over 2 years now... but I had to share this cool cup idea with a screenshot from IG

 

Lol. I clicked on your Amazon link thinking I wanna see some cool clamps! Got this instead;

 

Here is a link to the Powertec version. I put a set in my wishlist.

This is how I make drawers. Quick, strong and one blade setup

Also make the fronts full overlay not inset. That way you don't have to worry about gaps.

 

I'll take a set.

 

Hopefully one of these fine people in here will be inspired to make some!

 

That should have caught my attention first. Congrats. Takes a lot work to get there. Almost seven for me in a different area. Really cool part was being a sponsor until we moved. I need to get back to that. It's nice helping others get past their challenges.

 

I quit 30 years ago. I didn't have a problem with it, just wasn't for me anymore. Now I don't have to apologize for stupid things I said, or deal with a hang over. When i quit I also realized I can't dance, lol.

 

I always knew I couldn't dance. Then a movie told me I couldn't jump. Who knew?

 

Got my old miter saw cleaned up, going to pass it along.

 

Put a nice big handle on it, and charred coffee don't sound so bad
