Could you free up more space by swapping out the 2x4 and CA glue attaching a few 2mm magnets to the inside of the drawer and onto the divider so it’s held in place…? Just seems mad to store a lump of wood… unless it’s a pretend lump of wood that’s really a cash stash safe & then kudos my friend! 😜😂 Great builds mon frére! Bish bash bosh! 👍
When storing the pot and lid together you can turn the lid upside down on the pot and get a couple of more inches of space. I know it's minimal but just a suggestion for those like me who have huge crawfish pots.
Just a tip for pots and pan lids: Sometimes you can invert them on the pot/pan, and keep the right lid with the right pot. And in some cases, store smaller pots or pans on the lid.
I love the rails that hang on the underside of the counter where you put the lids over the handle of each pot and slide the whole thing in and out. Awesome!
This is exactly how I use to store my cookware until a couple of weeks ago... I just got a new one and sadly the lids don't fit comfortably on the pots when inverted.
You can also put two pans inside each other (one smaller than the other) than put the lid of the biggest pan upside down on top of it, and the lid of the smaller one normally on top of the upside down bigger lid. Most space efficient!
The "before" on the junk drawer was organized enough to be many people's "after"! But this "after" was amazing and the "I don't have any unused space in my drawers - you know what I mean" comment was worth watching the whole video to the end! Classic!
Instead of the 2x4 at the back of the drawer, you could extend the sides of your organizer and have that be the stop. Then you have 1 extra area for a larger item like a long lighter!
Why I like a kitchen with mostly drawers instead of doors...much more useful and easy to get to things. But you came up with creative ideas to fix existing issues. Drawers cost more upfront but totally worth it in long run
1st project: Love the additional shelves. When I get my tiny house built, I'm going to ask for extra shelf leaves. 2nd project: Ingenious to have a pull out tray and added shelves on the tray. The lid holder on the door is awesome. I have my lids all jumbled together and your idea is much better.
OMG I love your sense of humor! Helps me remember to lighten up while working on my own projects. I plan to add all 3 of these to my kitchen. Thank you!
Found it! LOL I've gotta hand it to ya. A man who, not only makes his own storage solutions, but would also crawl into a base cabinet to make his point deserves a 'subscribe'.
I like the ideas, but what earned you my subscription was seeing that hump in the 'most viewed' graph where everyone (including me) went back to make sure you said "nothing bundt storage." Flawlessly subtle delivery, sir.
Oh my goodness I love these projects! That pull out shelf add-on is GENIUS! My husband and I are about to purchase our first home and I’m totally going save these ideas! I currently use command hooks to hold my pot lids because I’m in a rental but I absolutely love the wooden holder (also don’t have to worry about the plastic hooks breaking after some time). Great video! New subscriber!
I'm so impressed with this project and the others of yours for which I have watched the video. You are skilled at what you do and quite creative at solving storage issues that most of us seem to suffer from. Thank you!
I built something similar for our kitchen lower cabinet with pull out drawer base, but instead of building a shelf to put on top of the bottom one I built a second pull out drawer at the half way mark so that I could put another full depth drawer platform for other pots
I’ve found metal files to be the best way to trim off excess edge banding. Thanks for the great video! I have been putting off kitchen projects like this, so it’s invigorating to see it done so simply.
I don’t normally comment on videos, but you have really great content. Easy to understand and follow for the layperson/DIYer and good with some humor incorporated in. I ended up here after looking for KED string lights, then subscribed and guess I’ll be binge-watching. I just bought my first power tools this year (Ryobi drill, skill saw, sander, brad nailer) as I made a vehicle buildout to have organized camping drawers. I’m in a downtown condo, so can only do this on the balcony. But this video has now given me more great ideas for kitchen organization in a small space. Love being organized, and these tools have opened up new opportunities to have things that are customize d and fit perfectly, without spending a fortune.
How about a solution for those under-counter corner cabinets where pots and pans go into the in-between spaces? I have 2 corner cabinets that go back as deep as the adjacent cabinet so basically enough space for an adult to hide in. The are commercial solutions that cost $$$$ but my budget isn't $$$$ BTW Excellent tips and projects Brad! Glad to see the lid door is still holding up. I knew it would 😁
Use that space to hide when your siblings bring over their bratty offspring, OR, it's perfect for storing seldom used items such as holiday dishware, that 5 gallon chili pot, or all those Mason jars you got that year when you thought you would start canning all your own vegetables.
Very cool, I love how you are so detailed in your directions and make it look fun and not as hard to tackle. Since we all know how frustrating it can be to want to redesign our spaces without having to be a professional carpenter. I am new to your channel and look forward to watching more of your other videos. Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos for all of us. May God always Bless you with good health and prosperity in all you do.
Just finished making your upper cabinets and plan on doing the lowers for my garage shop and am thrilled with the first tip. It will be perfect for the slide out drawer in your miter saw plan, too!
Hey, I just wanted to say I love your videos. Especially the ones where you make mistakes. I don’t have the fancy tools you have so I make plenty of mistakes. It’s reassuring to see that even professionals make mistakes. Just have to learn from it and move on.
1st project: Looks great as long as your shelves are not too deep or you will have problems getting the items at the back out. We have a cupboard that is the same depth as our fridge and getting the items from the back is already hard enough. For shallow cupboards it looks great. 3rd project: Love this and have already done it for my cutlery draw. For my bottom layer I did four sections that go all the way from the front to the back of the drawer so no gap at the back to fill in. I need to do another set for my second drawer down and maybe a lift out one for the bigger 3rd drawer with all the rolls of tinfoil and cling wrap. 2nd project: I just can't decide what I think of this. Every time you moved it I was worried about the items sliding off the shelves. Probably a me issue. I do like how you rounded the corners, such a small detail can make such a big difference to the end appearance.

Man I love the way you organized the drawers!! It has ALWAYS been one of my personal, biggest complaints about drawers with wasted space and disorganization. Drives me nuts when you open a drawer and it looks like a tornado went through it. I just wish I had all the tools you had to do it all. Great videos!!!
for the drawer, you can "convert" the 2by4 to be a hiden storage space, you can hide some small items if you make holes in the bottom or the sides of the 2x4
Honestly, when I have a bad day, I just watch one of your videos, and my smile is coming back. You are soooo funny! (to be more honest, I'm also a woodworker and I adore your videos. Very well explained!)
I love the lower cabinet pullout drawer. I think if I were to do this in my house I would upgrade the drawer slides to account for the heavier load. Thanks for the great ideas!
@@gerhardpeter3011 I work in manufacturing for a living, so similar boat. To be honest, so tired from working on the stuff at work all day, can't even begin to fathom doing it for my own home haha. Ideal way would be to have him book a few days off and do it at home instead of work during his normal work hours. Trying to make him do it while he's also working full-time will lead to resentment
Unless your kitchen is really old, it may likely have a lazy susan or swing out shelves to make use of that space and is often referred to as a blind corner cabinet and is specifically designed for just such a space. Corner upper cabinets are similar in concept.
Wow, at first I thought that last project was going to be a little "extra", but it turned out great and really spruced up the look and functionality of that drawer!
Completely enjoyable video as always! Love the jokes, movie clips and most of all the build! I will be here for every video you put out. Thank you so much ❤️
Ha! "Me" nails! As a guy named "Colby" I use that joke all the time... but in a cheesier way of course. Love your channel and my wife loves the desk and she's is going to love the slide out pots and pans shelf! Keep building something awesome! Shirts are 🔥
Well, it needs a lot of tools. In some shops (in Poland we have Castorama) you can buy planks and pay a little extra to cut them in exact dimension you need - great if you don't have saw etc. With big pot: you can try to put your lid upsine down - most of them should feet. Then you have handle inside the pot and flat space to put something on top (for example smaller pot) Putting piece of wood at the back of drawer is waste of space, better would be adding extra divider and storing there something you rarely use (in mine drawer it is nutcracker)
I really like these projects. The last one could be taken up a notch by making the top try base out of clear plexi instead of 1/4 ply. That way you can see everything on the bottom with moving the top tray
Hi came back just to thank you for the idea Had an extra drawer from the original kitchen in storage resized it to fit inside the cabinet and we are realy enjoying the extra space Might build the shelf for inside the drawer in the future
Project 2: tip the pot lid upside down so the handle is within the pot itself. Shelf only needs to be pot height + lid rim high. Also, if you're good at Tetris, you can stack pots on each other to make a pot tower. Just don't bump it🤪
that was one absolutely AWESOME video. I often wondered how you got the top layer to slide back and forth in the drawer. now I know. I have 2 very deep drawers that can be utilised better, and I know just how to do it, thanks to you.
I can't thank the creator of this video enough for sharing these kitchen storage projects. They were easy to follow, and the results were outstanding. My kitchen is now more organized and efficient, thanks to these simple but brilliant ideas.
Nice idea. One other- if considered when purchasing cabinets, is to increase the depth of wall cabinets to 15" instead of 12". It will only add about 15% of the cost of the original cabinet, but will give you 25% more storage space...and you will hardly notice it is deeper, except that you can store more bowls and cups, or extra large plates.
This probably is a "duh" for you folks who sound like you know what you're doing, but please make sure your upper cabinets are very sturdily built. Several years ago, I got a "deal" on cabinets and had friends install them. Several months later, I noticed that the cabinet backs were not firmly against the wall and had to holler for help. (I'm a widow living in a "cousin-built" house that passed inspection 25 years ago LOL.) The cabinet was reinforced and re-hung and all is well so far. But I no longer fill it to capacity and have gotten rid of a LOT of glasses, coffee cups, and heavy casserole dishes, etc. Just *be sure* your cabinetry can support the load you're expecting it to handle. None of us want to have our cabinets crashing down and wreaking havoc on our counter-tops...
My kitchen cabinets are circa 1978. I desperately need to do this! I can take out the pull out shelves and add drawer rollers and a much needed back stop! Tired of stuff falling down the back. The door pot lid holder is genius. No more digging around. Time for new hinges as well.
Great ideas, Brad. When I add extra shelves, I buy the melamine covered shelves and trim them to size keeping the front edge intact. Also, I was wondering partway through how long before the "me" nails made an appearance (lol). Bill
i like your vids sir... once you cut that little piece to complete drawer organizer and said " lets see how it fits'' fist though in my mind was that Jim Carrey like a glove saying and it played.. bravo brother that was awesome!
I know the door holds up fine from the pot lids, but if there ever is an issue or if you fear there being an issue, attach the door to the new pull out drawer. The attachment point will be at the bottom where it can easily take the weight so no risk of putting stress on the hinges leading to possible breakage.
I've got to say, this video really hits that sweet spot of high quality production and practical, thorough advice while retaining some real personality (I detest channels that make me feel like I'm watching daytime TV) New subscriber here!
@@johnhpalmer6098 I’ll Google what extension glides means. :) It just seems like if you can have a block of wood, you could have an open box the same size.
@@ChrisW228 In case you haven't yet, it's allowing for the drawers to open all the way, not leaving the back of the drawer in the cabinet. Most drawers without metal glides do this as a way to keep the drawers in not get fully pulled out and on the floor. In other words, a bit of the drawer is left in the cabinet and that space is often hard to get to.
Just bought a house, and I'm making some small storage tweaks as we go. I've mainly been buying storage and drawers from IKEA, Walmart, Amazon, etc. This has given me new motivation to do these projects myself. I've been a little overwhelmed by the time and energy required. While I know these projects will take time - you made this look easy and fun! Looking forward to taking back our kitchen space. It is relatively small - but these hacks will really open it up. Thanks so much for sharing. Pro safety tip - you probably should wear a mask instead of inhaling all of that dust, lol.
Thanks for your videos I really enjoy watching the entertainment as well lol. I have a question for you if possible. My Carpenter built the cabinets on sight using poplar wood. It seems that a lot of the inside areas are unfinished, so I get splinters every now and then. Can I Use that veneer on the inside and how easy do you think it would be for me to do it without asking my husband to LOL
If you have a project for a blind corner base cabinet with a 🤬 13” opening I will love you forever 🥰 Your climbing-inside-the-cabinet bit is me anytime I need to retrieve those rarely used items that I hide back there and I haven’t found any fixed that will work with such a small opening.
Thanks for the ideas. I just wonder why you didn't fix the cupboard front onto the drawer so you don't have to (a) open the cupboard, then (b) pull out the drawer? Why do two things - with a risk of clashing the two together - when you only need do one? We have very few cupboards in our kitchen: pretty much drawers only. So much easier. And if - instead of putting pot lids inverted in the pots as many of your audience suggest - you want to store the lids separately, you could slot them on the inside face of the drawer.
Wouldn't it make it harder to get the items out if the cupboard front was fixed to the drawer? I would think it would be easier to access items in a 'deep' drawer with shelves like this, from the front and a side, rather than two sides and no front access. No front access means you have to slide the pot out and upwards, instead of out and frontwards. But to each their own i guess!
I can't recommend enough to replace those plastic clips. I had one fail on me (top shelf of cabinet) when I was opening the door, and it was a miracle that nothing fell on me. We did lose a bowl or two, but were fortunate that was all that was broken.
Wow, yet another exceptionally awesome set of design and build of organizational projects! I especially like the large cabinet slide out box addition! Well done, Brad!
lol I'm glad I'm not the only one still dropping "liiike a ggglove!" when the opportunity presents itself! this one was really funny and handy as per usual, nice work! keep em comin' PS. the speed build toward the end was fantastic
Helpful hint for edge banding around curves: Heat Gun. After all, the only thing necessary is to melt the adhesive on rear of strip. Follow through by applying pressure (with a rag so ya don't burn your fingers). Works great for me every time.

Good my friend
Make even more available room by storing the pot lids upside down on the pots so the handles don't stick up.

that is what I do. then they can sit on top of each other.
I never thought about storing about pan on top. That’s brilliant. I just invert the lids to store them in a shallower spot.
This is exactly how I use to store my cookware until a couple of weeks ago... I just got a new one and sadly the lids don't fit comfortably on the pots when inverted.
You can also put two pans inside each other (one smaller than the other) than put the lid of the biggest pan upside down on top of it, and the lid of the smaller one normally on top of the upside down bigger lid. Most space efficient!

Was thinking the same thing
Good idea! He just lost space he was trying to maximize for a 2x4- confused me bc it seems counterproductive
Hollow out the 2x4 and it’s a secret compartment that everyone else thinks is wasted space

My kitchen cabinets are circa 1978. I desperately need to do this! I can take out the pull out shelves and add drawer rollers and a much needed back stop! Tired of stuff falling down the back. The door pot lid holder is genius. No more digging around. Time for new hinges as well.
Any reason in particular why you put a 2x4 in the back spot instead of making another space for supplies? Loved the video! Thanks.
These are projects that are going to be a must, all of them are great ideas.
Love the spice bottles with the top touching the next shelf lol how are you reaching for the spice?
Those are the spices they never use 🤣
I thought this was David Tennant for the first minute. Awesome tips!😄
Now that you mention it 😆😆😆!
Great ideas needed for any home for space, convenience, safety and priority for the home owner
Great ideas, Brad. When I add extra shelves, I buy the melamine covered shelves and trim them to size keeping the front edge intact. Also, I was wondering partway through how long before the "me" nails made an appearance (lol).
Bill
William Ellis, what are "me" nails????
Chris 3M Since his name is Brad, he calls brad nails "me" nails
@@williamellis8993 Thanks for the reply. Merry Chrismas 🎅
Гениально! Сделаю себе такой же выдвижной ящик и держатель для крышек. Спасибо за идею! 👍
Great tip and entertaining
i like your vids sir... once you cut that little piece to complete drawer organizer and said " lets see how it fits'' fist though in my mind was that Jim Carrey like a glove saying and it played.. bravo brother that was awesome!
How about a DIY spice rack mounted inside a pantry door. I did this and literally cleared out an entire cabinet.
you could make that 2x4 piece hollow for hidden storage, or frame it out, as well.
I know the door holds up fine from the pot lids, but if there ever is an issue or if you fear there being an issue, attach the door to the new pull out drawer. The attachment point will be at the bottom where it can easily take the weight so no risk of putting stress on the hinges leading to possible breakage.
I've got to say, this video really hits that sweet spot of high quality production and practical, thorough advice while retaining some real personality (I detest channels that make me feel like I'm watching daytime TV)

On the drawer organizer, is there a reason you used a block of wood and didn’t include one more compartment on the bottom?
If you mean the block of wood at the back? If so, likely he does not have full extension glides so that space is wasted
@@johnhpalmer6098 I’ll Google what extension glides means. :) It just seems like if you can have a block of wood, you could have an open box the same size.
@@ChrisW228 In case you haven't yet, it's allowing for the drawers to open all the way, not leaving the back of the drawer in the cabinet. Most drawers without metal glides do this as a way to keep the drawers in not get fully pulled out and on the floor. In other words, a bit of the drawer is left in the cabinet and that space is often hard to get to.
@@johnhpalmer6098 ah, thank you. Makes sense.
@@ChrisW228 Also, cheap furniture/cabinet, with metal glides don't fully extend either.
Just bought a house, and I'm making some small storage tweaks as we go. I've mainly been buying storage and drawers from IKEA, Walmart, Amazon, etc. This has given me new motivation to do these projects myself. I've been a little overwhelmed by the time and energy required. While I know these projects will take time - you made this look easy and fun! Looking forward to taking back our kitchen space. It is relatively small - but these hacks will really open it up. Thanks so much for sharing. Pro safety tip - you probably should wear a mask instead of inhaling all of that dust, lol.
That second one would be even better with some kind of handle attached at the top so you don't need to bend over to pull it out.
I love your videos and your sense of humor!!
thanks!
When you crawled into that kitchen cabinet, I just knew I had to subscribe.
Omg! Your sense of humor and innuendo is AWESOME! Subscribe!
Thanks for your videos I really enjoy watching the entertainment as well lol. I have a question for you if possible. My Carpenter built the cabinets on sight using poplar wood. It seems that a lot of the inside areas are unfinished, so I get splinters every now and then. Can I Use that veneer on the inside and how easy do you think it would be for me to do it without asking my husband to LOL
Easier to use shelf paper! Bonus is all the great color & patterns they come in!
Really like your kitchen and how you've made it so much better. All I would need is a folding step ladder to reach those top shelves.

Are there plans for the lower cabinet project on this video?
If you have a project for a blind corner base cabinet with a 🤬 13” opening I will love you forever 🥰
Your climbing-inside-the-cabinet bit is me anytime I need to retrieve those rarely used items that I hide back there and I haven’t found any fixed that will work with such a small opening.
Thanks!
Appreciate the Super Thanks!
Thanks for the ideas. I just wonder why you didn't fix the cupboard front onto the drawer so you don't have to (a) open the cupboard, then (b) pull out the drawer? Why do two things - with a risk of clashing the two together - when you only need do one? We have very few cupboards in our kitchen: pretty much drawers only. So much easier.
And if - instead of putting pot lids inverted in the pots as many of your audience suggest - you want to store the lids separately, you could slot them on the inside face of the drawer.
Wouldn't it make it harder to get the items out if the cupboard front was fixed to the drawer? I would think it would be easier to access items in a 'deep' drawer with shelves like this, from the front and a side, rather than two sides and no front access. No front access means you have to slide the pot out and upwards, instead of out and frontwards. But to each their own i guess!
I can't recommend enough to replace those plastic clips. I had one fail on me (top shelf of cabinet) when I was opening the door, and it was a miracle that nothing fell on me. We did lose a bowl or two, but were fortunate that was all that was broken.
For your scrap wood what do you do to keep bugs out of the wood pile? I always have spiders everywhere near the wood piles and under my bench.
spray the perimeter of your shop. also sealing air gaps. if they can't get in, they won't be at your pile.
Wow, yet another exceptionally awesome set of design and build of organizational projects!
I especially like the large cabinet slide out box addition!
Well done, Brad!
I wish there was a channel where you could do some of this stuff without the whole expensive workshop set up and premium tools 😨
Excellent my friend! Thank you for sharing!
Wow! You have a REALLY CLEAN shop! Impressive!!
Dude, the lower cabinet insert, brilliant
Made the pull out drawer for my wife..thank you for the inspiration
Des astuces magnifiquement réalisées et tout particulièrement le caisson bas coulissant, rehaussé avec ingéniosité ! Quand on aime le bois....❤
Great job Brad! The last comment was hilarious!!! Love the small movie clips as well. It adds nicely to your work.
lol I'm glad I'm not the only one still dropping "liiike a ggglove!" when the opportunity presents itself!
this one was really funny and handy as per usual, nice work! keep em comin'
PS. the speed build toward the end was fantastic
Helpful hint for edge banding around curves: Heat Gun.
After all, the only thing necessary is to melt the adhesive on rear of strip. Follow through by applying pressure (with a rag so ya don't burn your fingers). Works great for me every time.
Wooow, thank you for this video. You are a great builder in organizing kitchen storage. I do love the slide over storage for pots and pans.
This is the best I've seen in a while. Now I know how to improve my kitchen! Thanks!
I appreciate your energy and that you have a definite script! Great projects!
Gracias por la inspiración!!!!
