@scottishwifie14 It's Fiebings Edge Kote (black). Burnishes nicely just stains skin for weeks if you get it on your hands. 😀

@Birchwoodbldrs In the first instance they were sold as nails removed. Most were. Of the few remaining, I found with most of them with a hand wand metal detector and knocked them through with a hammer and punch. Those that I missed my planer found, which cost me half a dozen new teeth... 😀

@Saneshen281 Persevere!!! I'm completely self taught (with the odd course thrown in). If my "fire bin" could talk, it would tell the story of MANY failed projects. Any craft that uses hand skills teaches helps to develop hand eye coordination. I started with limited leather working tools and cheap leather, honed these skills before moving into wood working. If you want to lean woodworking, then start where I did making boxes by hand out of scrap plywood. So satisfying and you end up with a stack of useful boxes. I think I might do a short video on that, now I come to think of it. 😁

@cazkiwinz4300 Tools are my kryptonite. I was indeed lucky to inherit some of the hand tools I have but if I ever get to buy a 'new' tool, one I haven't had the chance to use before, I never hesitate. It drives Mrs H mad sometimes. Car Boot Sales are a nightmare. I never come home empty handed and more recently it seems every tool I bring home is met with a 'what on earth is that for?'. My old workshop is currently packed up and in storage. Am planning to build (and video) a new workshop at the bottom of the garden. Keep dreaming, keep watching 'craft' videos and never give up on learning new skills. Become good at one craft and you will already be on the road to learning other crafts. There is so much cross over between crafts it's amazing. Developing hand skills is so useful. A good craft to learn with limited space has got to be leatherwork. Give that a try and you'll start to see there is a lot of crossover with woodworking.😁

@Ishan.patel91 Is there any other way? 😀

@rjrotermund Nothing I would change on the design. Just think I could have been a little less clumsy in assembling the dividers and the main carcass. Am so pleased with this, I have a second one under construction as we speak.

@@TraditionalTimes tham you. You should be very happy with the result. I hope mine comes out half as good.

@philallen01 Hi there. Finally moved house end of August. New workshop is a project that's probably going to take 12 months to finish (planning permission etc) but will be making lots of interesting videos in the interim. 😀

@seanbiddiss7581 Thanks for the kind words. :)

Thanks... 😀

Difficult to offer advice without seeing the runner in question, or the fit, the layout of the chest etc. All I can say is give restoring or replacing the runner a go as it will bring new life to the box, and that is the most important thing. Don't worry if it looks "fixed". It doesn't have to be a perfect restoration and it will add to the history and character of the box.

Yep. All of those would work. Depends what you have to hand. I don't think there is necessarily a right or wrong way to do it. I know I faffed around bit getting everything together, but it all worked out in the end. 😀

@tanja.y.33 I wouldn't sell this one as I made it for me. However if I made another as a commission I'd probably have to charge £1200 - £1400. Making 64 draws looks quick on camera but is several days work on that alone!! 😀

@@TraditionalTimes Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Know that there is a lot of work in such a piece and the price is nothing to say about. Very good work. Love and Respect.

@Birchwoodbldrs I used both pin nails and glue throughout the carcass build. About 19:24 you can see me smearing the glue before I inserted the first end piece. All the internal vertical partitions were glued before I used the pin nails. The small panel pins may well be strong enough to hold everything together, especially with the number I used on the ends, but gluing always adds to the strength with this kind of butt joint. 😀

Thaks. Appreciate the kind comment. 🙂

Thanks. 😁

Thanks 😁

Thanks.

@nomadmakes I agree, totally. Have just this week bought a van so that when we have moved house, I will be able to scan the local freecycle groups in search of upcycling and materials opportunities... So many possibilities... :)

@NomadMakes I love a good jig... and this is a well used jig now, as am half way through building a second set of these draws and it is so useful. If a task is repetitive and nequires accuracy then the time thinking about / designing a jig is never wasted. :)

Thank you... 🙂

Yeah. Mostly 1-1.5mm for a sofa. Anything thicker would be a waste.

It wasn't my first attempt at this... ended up copying the basic structure from a set of library card drawers... 😀

Your welcome

Thankyou 😁

Thank you for the kind comment. 😀

Absolutely... amazing what you can achieve with a little thought and a bit of ingenuity... 😁

Hey. Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.

Thanks. Appreciate the acknowledgement. 😁

Empty, it is very easy to lift... maybe 8-10lb (I've not weighed it)... Full... impossible unless you take most of the drawers out... :)

I;ve never tried either myself. I tend to just use as is. However I do remember seeing a youtube video a while back on the subject of restaining old leather. I'll see if I can dig it out.

Have so many ideas... including extra storage options... it's just the workshop is completely packed up and when I move the first job will be to build a new workshop from scratch. Thanks for the kind comment. Stick around. Workshop build will be underway before the end of the summer. 😁

Thanks. I've had it just over a year and love it so much am in the middle of building a second one.

... and the best bit is almost all of it can be recycled... Wooden fram can be reused for woodworking (or keeping warm if nothing else), padding and foam can be bagged for future upholstery projects, metal can be recycled via the scrap man... really thre is very little that need go to waste. If I have encouraged one person to recycle a sofa... am a happy man... :)

Thanks. Am busy moving house and packing up the workshop, but format is something very much on my mind. The evidence is certainly there that this type of format is much more popular than others, so watch this space... :)

Thanks for the comment. Am really pleased with how it turned out. Am currently building a second set of 64 drawers, this time to house all my nuts, bolts and washers.

Not that I'm aware of... 😁

Than you. I've tried lots of different formats, but am coming to the realisation that videos without talking are the best medium for me. So more like this to follow...

Thanks. The most important thing to remember is to store the knife properly. I now hang it between two pegs on the wall. Every time I have cut myself with this knife it's because it was either loose on a bench or in a drawer and I was looking for something else. A leather sheath also helps reduce the chance of injury. It has one of those now too. :)

Brilliant! I am just in the process of moving house & workshop so that the workshop will be 'On-Site'. AS soon as the new workshop is built I will definitely be buy more of this recycled flooring. So many projects it would be good for,

Hey, thanks for the kind comment. 😀

The video for the 64 drawer small parts cabinet is here: ruclips.net/video/P4hZn_fyjLA/видео.html. Link to the plans is in the description. :)

Thanks... Will make a note... 😀

Thak you... 😀

They are all much of a muchness. I use a course emery paste made by BolPol. My tin is quite old now, but still useable. Just google BolPol Emery paste and you should be good to go. 😀

Yes indeed... unfortunately none of my four children have seen fit to oblige... maybe one day... 😀

@@TraditionalTimes I'll recommend this channel to my grandson! Even though he's only three years old by now, he will love your content! He's with me in my workshop whenever he can. You do a great work! And your patience is woderful! Warmhearted greetings from Germany^^

You're welcome... 😀

Couldn't agree more. Nailers are good for quick assemblies using plywood, but if you are crafting a cabinet or toolbox, pins and a small pin hammer are more accurate, more reliable and better in general for the soul. Craftsmanship over mass production is always the best way. I do use jigs but only for the purposes of accuracy. Jigs are great for mass production but as soon as you start to mass produce, then you lose the beauty inherent in a one off piece. Mass production is in and of itself a soulless thing.

I guess, strictly speaking, he should be using a Warrington hammer not a ball peen hammer

@@PetterPJ3W Oh Dear! Now you've gone and done it. I use whatever tools I have in the workshop at the time. Now you've identified a tool I don't have, a tool (I presume) designed for a specific purpose. Now I am going to have to go and acquire one. Best not let Mrs H know. :) :) ;)

Thanks. You're most welcome.😁

Thank you for your kind comment... and happy new year... certainly do have a packed project list for 2024... 😁
