How to Build a Modular File Cabinet Desk Console
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- It was incredibly difficult to decide how to title this video. It's an office console, a desk, a filing cabinet, a shelf. I can't just call it ONE thing because it's modular and can be MULTIPLE things.
How's that for multipurpose furniture??
This video will show you how to build the basic component of the project--the cabinet carcasses. Then, from there, you can decide whether you want to add shelves, a door, or drawers...AND if you want the drawers to be filing cabinet drawers or not.
So many decisions!
This project was sponsored by @HomeDepot as part of the #THDProSpective Tool Review Program.
You can find the plans and written tutorial here:

It doesn't get any more versatile than that and there's not a lot of crazy, time consuming, fancy rabbet cuts and dado joints. That's an impressive amount of work you put into your website to supplement the video.
Congratulations on Home Depot as a sponsor, that’s awesome
Thank you! Grateful for the opportunity to work with companies I love already! 👍
@@WoodshopDiaries alright! Way to go! 👏🏼🙌🏽
Very nice build! I really admire your minimal use of materials and simplicity of design. It’s great that HD became a sponsor! Also, the links to previous videos is a real help to other hobbyists. You inspired my son and I to build a mud-closet (cabinet). Thanks for your videos! Stay safe out there!
Thank you so much!! Always trying to keep it simple 😉 that’s awesome to hear you guys are building a mud closet! Good luck and happy building 😎
@@WoodshopDiaries ... thank you for the encouragement! It is now finished except for paint and has turned out very nice! We tried to use your methods and keep it simple, yet clean.
Nice build! I like that it is modular. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!! 👍
You got some serious skill girl! 😉
Thank you 👍
Great design. Simple to build, but functional and aesthetically pleasing. Perfect DYI option for a good desk. Well done.
Thanks so much!! 😄
Hey Shara, very nice project. Options galore, with a some imagination, endless. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day.
Thanks so much!! You have a great day as well! 😁
Look into the kreg jig vacuum attachment!!! It’s amazing and works so well!!!
awesome project !! I will try soon.
Awesome! Thank you!
Needed to make some file cabinets for the office. I never thought about going across the drawers like that.
You can definitely fit more files that way!
That is a very nice looking desk console! I like the handles as they give a nice contrast to the light colored wood. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks so much!! I almost always use the same type and style handles on all my pieces. I like plain Jane 😂😂 simple, clean, easy to install 👍😅
I was missing the rain boots... and then... BOOM! there they were! Nice job. 😉
Giving the people what they want 😉😎😂😂
Very nice build. I like how you break this down so people new to wood working can do this.
Thank you! Always trying to keep things simple 👍😉😄
I think making the toe kick like you did in this video, since it is modular, was the best way to go. When I made my kitchen cabinet, I would go with the traditional notch out way, simply because they would be attached and to end and would make more sense visually and functionally. Well done.
Thank you! I botched my kitchen cabinets the traditional way as well, but I kind of like this style for a stand alone 👍
Super cool, very impressive
Thank you 👍
@@WoodshopDiaries you're most welcome
Awesome 👏🏼 looks great and very useful 👍🏼
Thanks so much!!
Really like those drawers.
Thanks so much!
ahh modular is always super convienient! thanks for sharing!
Right?! Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome work Shara! Gonna add this one to the list of things to make. Keep up the great work. 😃
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the project 👍 thanks so much!
Muy bien, quedó fenómenal eres una genia, saludos desde Argentina
Cool idea Shara, da boots, da boots are back!
Yaaaaaas! 🙌 it’s finally cool enough here to bring the boots back 😁😁
Really fantastic work, Shara! Looks beautiful! 😃
Congrats on the sponsorship! I only hope those Ryobi tools came for Brazil as well so I can buy them! I loved my circular saw! 😂
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you!! I hope you can get these in Brazil, too! I didn’t realize that’s where you were. I was pleasantly surprised at how well these performed compared to my usual drill driver...and for quite a bit cheaper! Anyway, thanks so much for always following and showing encouragement. I truly appreciate it 💕 have a great weekend!
@@WoodshopDiaries Thank you! And thanks a lot for your videos! They are very entertaining and I learn a lot! 😊
BTW, I live around 100 feet from the beach here in my city. It's pretty beautiful and I fly FPV there sometimes. 😃
Cher, great build. You are so clever. By the way nice wellies. (Just so theres no confusion in England boots which are waterproof are called wellies)
Haha thank you!! It’s almost comical now that I wear my rain boots in the shop so often 🙈😂😂
You make it look so easy,(Of course, I had to subscribe.) I pick something new up with each of your videos.
It’s definitely easy...if I can do it, it’s easy 😂😂 thanks so much for following along!
@@WoodshopDiaries :)
Awesome build Shara!

Thank you 👍
Your projects are outta site.......keep up the great work......:-)
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
that look good! 😊 modular nice
Thank you 👍
This is a great design and I am looking to replicate it. Could you let me know how many sheets of 4x8 3/4" plywood you used to build the 3 boxes? Awesome job and thank you for sharing!
I love your designs and how easy you make it look. But in reality it is much harder. Can I ask you what number of tooth blades you in your circular saw and your miter saw? Also, when I try to make cuts my final pieces always seems to be a ‘hair’ off. Any suggestions (or maybe you have a video that shows how) on where to position the blade relative to the cut line? And one more final question - any suggestions for making the dados without a table saw (I don’t have one)? Thanks for any answers you can provide.
I found your comment. It was filtered out because it contained a keyword I've banned from my comments. Thank you, but, I don't make it "look easy," it just really is easy. I keep finish blades in both my miter and circular saw. You can see the exact blades I use here:
www.woodshopdiaries.com/workshop-101-part-3-workshop-mvps/
Also, when cutting, you need to cut on the "waste" side of the line. So whatever direction you measured from (left or right side of the board), cut on the opposite side of the line. If you measured from the left, cut on the right side of the line--that's the waste side.
And also, you can make dadoes with a circular saw and an edge guide (or clamp a straight edge). I show this in the video when I made the slots for the file folders. But, if you don't want to mess with dadoes for drawers, you can just glue and staple the plywood bottom onto the drawer box and that works fine, too.
@@WoodshopDiaries thank you so much 😊
A very nice work for a very nice looking lady,, goodwork madam🙂🙂.
Thank you 👍
Which blade do you use on your circular saw to cut plywood?
I talk about it here:

The edge of my plywood is never squared when I use the kreg rip guide. Even when I use an angle finder to verify before cutting... Very frustrating...
I’m sorry you’re having issues. Is it an issue with the bevel angle? Have you verified the blade guard isn’t rubbing on the sled and pushing the blade one direction or another? Also, check that your bevel angle is actually set to 90. Or if it’s an issue with not cutting straight, it does take some practice and the start and finish are the most critical part. You have to keep the guide very tight to the edge of the board while starting. If you start off crooked, it’ll be crooked.
Love watching your videos. Do you still make Tik Tok videos?
Thank you!! I haven’t been on in a while. It’s so hard to keep up with everything.
@@WoodshopDiaries well, keep up with the great work. I found you on Tik Tok that’s why I had asked. You have skills.
Hello? Do you mind answering my questions below? Would really appreciate the information. Thanks.
Hello? What questions?
@@WoodshopDiaries im sorry, I should have stated from “my previous comment below”. I couldn’t copy it into this thread. But it should be within the last week.
I don’t see any comments from you on this video prior to this.
@@WoodshopDiaries it’s right below this one
@@WoodshopDiaries do you see a comment from DIY Huntress? Mine is right above hers
