I love the return to a somewhat woodworky video, and I also love the callbacks to your machine builds, which are amazing build videos on their own! Thank you for sharing!
You are not cheap... you are thrifty and frugal! That is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much! You take something others might throw out and turn it into something others might pay a small fortune for!
Going through the problem-solving and resulting improvements is so much more interesting and helpful than…. voila, here’s my (final) build. Love the repurposing and may be inclined to make use of spare pvc and copper pipe for slides
What I love about this video is it reminds me of your dad's lock ingenuity (another of my favourite videos of yours). You obviously learned a lot from him and ran with it :)

Somehow it is good to see that I‘m not the only one who fails at the little details and has to improvise while working to get it done 😂 Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Thanks for the great video. But it felt kinda like a race to catch all the tips and tricks you employed to fit the drawers right! I appreciate your efforts to pack them all in one medium length video. I personally wouldn't mind at all a longer one to tell you the truth.
Do you ever use dry soap as a lubricant for wooden drawer slides etc.? I learned from my grandmother to always have a small bar of soap in my toolchest, to rub wooden sliding parts with. Works wonders and doesn't make a mess!
Those turned out nice and the journey was very enjoyable while it is the results that count, I do enjoy watching and hearing about the process. Would it make sense to make other size drive gears for your box joint jig so that one turn could give you the spacing you want instead of having to count? Another entertaining and informative vid. Thanks for sharing.
I was asked to do the same thing to two standing desks in our upstairs office. Since neither desk was ever in the full down position, I used hardwood strips between the lift frame and the top. That way I could get a deeper, taller drawer (think stapler) with bearing slides and soft close with no loss in height function. Even full down was still too low to be useful.
Matthus your videos are very nice you have a lot of ideas about cut and router always watch your videos but request you to give me the template chart it would help me a lot thanks.❤️
Put a bevel engagement on the stops for the new/secondary/lower slide rail. That way it is locked "up" at, & a few cm before the full travel out stop. Like a ratchet & pawl… Drawer ___/ /___ stop The stop could also go a bit lower, to prevent accidental removal, but allow ease of removal.
I have always enjoyed your videos. May I ask that you include closed captioning in your videos? It would be a great help to those of us who are hearing impaired.
This is so close to becoming nerdy woodworker rap. "So by adding guides To the SIDES of the SLIDES We move the drawers lower Than where the motor HIDES." Uh! Uh! Aw yeh!
I was wondering Matthias, have you seen the lastest perpetual motion video making electricity. Bottles filled with a liquid tied on to a bicycle wheel. I am sure you caould make one too
Using the router bit in that way is genius. Pulls the workpiece towards the fence and clears out dust and shavings better. If only my router table could tilt. ;)
I love the thought of all this. I would love to be able to do similar items but my ADHD would never allow it. Something shiny would come along and distract me.
Hey matthias, I saw this woodworking short the other day where a guy drilled pocket holes but instead used dowels in place of the screws. You should strength test these joints I saw, see how much stronger they are.
did something simular, but just with draw slides. Also added boxed in area at the back of desk for all cables etc, with doors from the top of the back of the desk, so I don't have to go under the desk to plug in stuf any more.
If I put a stop block under the desk, then the drawer wouldn't be able to close cause the front of the drawer hits it. And if its far enough back, then the drawer doesn't open very far.
Hello Matthias. I love your videos, they are out of the ordinary. I have a question: why don't the subtitles work because I speak English very badly and subtitles in French would be cool, I imagine for other languages too! See you soon. I use Deepl to translate !
I don't know. I keep getting that question. I wish I could ask someone at youtube why they don't generate subititles for this channel, Works fine on my other channel.
So now you have to make the handle for the drawer that holds the keyboard an ergonomic rest... Lol. Great video as usual. I like how you document the process of thinking through the things you didn't think through at first. It is very honest and interesting.
I have a mental disorder that won't allow me to have drawers built and installed in so many different ways. Unfortunately I would have rebuilt the desk or the lift in order to have matching desks and drawers, I just couldn't sleep at night.
A woodworking video in classic Wandel style, I love it. This is very inspiring and the effects of this kind of videos can be found al around in my house.

Plz make a all wooded desk that can move up en down like the ones you make draws for :)
You are not cheap... you are thrifty and frugal! That is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much! You take something others might throw out and turn it into something others might pay a small fortune for!
A lot of problem-solving thought went into those drawer slides. Neat.
What you do with your wooden jigs is brilliant.

Glad to see you in the shop again!
Yes! Classic video, love the process thanks for taking us along!
Great video showcasing the design, troubleshoot and adjustment phases all woodworkers go through.
Love the MicroJig clamps. Once you understand the dovetail functionality, they are awesome!
Nice to see some sawdust in your shop ! Those are some sturdy drawers. Thanks for letting us watch ya build them .
Nice job on documenting the progressive changes for problem solving. Too many gloss over that dealing with existing structure is an iterative process.
Somehow it is good to see that I‘m not the only one who fails at the little details and has to improvise while working to get it done 😂
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
I read the title "Six sanding disk drawers". :) Talking about a Freudian slip; my sanding disks are in disarray.
Completely unrelated to the video, but I love the way those round key caps look
love that too, but not ergonomic cause the tops are all flat with sharp edges
Thanks for the great video. But it felt kinda like a race to catch all the tips and tricks you employed to fit the drawers right! I appreciate your efforts to pack them all in one medium length video. I personally wouldn't mind at all a longer one to tell you the truth.
watch it at half speed, or watch it twice.
10:07 "guides to the sides of the slides" ❤

its two turns on that gear. To make it one turn would be a very unweildy gear
Ah, I see maybe twice the diameter@@matthiaswandel

Everyone: 'Handles the problem'.
Mathias : 'Wandels the problem'.
Nice engineering and craftsmanship Matthias! Now all you have to do is remember which drawer you put stuff in..haha!
Thanks for sharing. I love the builds with corrective rework :o)
that wht i call wood work .nice diy my guy.
Finally a new video! 😍
one week was far too long a wait for you?
I'd appreciate if you could enable subtitles like most youbers do, because I've got difficulties to hear, thank you.
I would appreciate it if youtube did that too, but this channel is cursed that way. Works fine on my other channel.
PS- do you ever have any issues with tight tolerances and humidity changes? 🤔 Or is your house pretty evenly climate controlled year round?
Do you wax the runners for drawers like these, to make them slide more smoothly?
yes
Matthias is getting into rap at 10:07
Matthus your videos are very nice you have a lot of ideas about cut and router always watch your videos but request you to give me the template chart it would help me a lot thanks.❤️

Have you tested strength of box joints of different finger thicknesses?
I’m about to build the slot mortiser so if there’s ever going to be a version 2 I hope it’s soon!
No plans for one. I'm quite happy with the one I have!
Love your woodworking videos
I have always enjoyed your videos. May I ask that you include closed captioning in your videos? It would be a great help to those of us who are hearing impaired.
I have to wait for youtube to generate them. For unknown reason, on this channel, it takes months.
@@matthiaswandel Thank you for your prompt reply. I’ll continue watching your channel and hope RUclips will be quicker.
Beutiful work❤❤
Do you measure the woods moisture before building stuff with it?
no, I just make sure it's been around long enough to be dry for sure
@@matthiaswandel Thanks!
Is that bamboo plywood in the last bit of the video?
Is fix only glue? Looks like dangerous.
4:01 “that’s kinda wasteful” he says with ~2” of waste on both edges
Matthias, could you have screwed one or two little stop blocks to the underside of the desk to stop them pulling right out?
yes, and it would also interfere with stuff in the drawer. Oh, and also prevent the drawer from fully closing!
@@matthiaswandelAwh, that would be a worse case scenario! Really appreciate your videos. Thanks
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. You lizard
I think it'd be easier to build a hollow top with spaces built in for each drawer! Those mechanisms look fiddly! Only you could pull that off...
in that case, the standing desk becomes higher, and doesn't go low enough anymore.
This is so close to becoming nerdy woodworker rap.
"So by adding guides
To the SIDES of the SLIDES
We move the drawers lower
Than where the motor HIDES."
Uh! Uh! Aw yeh!
You will become a Microjig convert, eventually
Dont call yourself cheap. It's different from frugal or thrifty or even tight.
I was wondering Matthias, have you seen the lastest perpetual motion video making electricity. Bottles filled with a liquid tied on to a bicycle wheel. I am sure you caould make one too
the one I haven't built is as non functional as all the other ones.
John Heinz does a better job
go watch him instead then
@@matthiaswandel I personally prefer your style much more, while I still enjoy John's videos too

Thanks for the return to woodworking. And also showing that even you have lots of small mistakes to fix as you do your woodworking. Thumbs up
I've seen this man make box joints a thousand times, but I still get excited to see it again
I love that you can get it done with just wood, without having to buy expensive hardware. It inspires me to be brave enough to try myself.
Perfect is the enemy of good!
11:44 made me lol. The desk keep getting higher and higher to the point of a giants desk 😂💕👍
I prefer the word Frugal to Cheap. These days, who can afford to waste anything so being frugal is best.
Thank you for showing the process and not just the finished product. It makes me feel good
A true engineer. There is no simple thing in the world that can't be improved upon.
I like the videos where you make things. The algorithms may not show you that, I don't know.
Good video 😎
Using the router bit in that way is genius. Pulls the workpiece towards the fence and clears out dust and shavings better.
If only my router table could tilt. ;)
It's nice to see you again :)
It's so cool that you use your genius for woodworking and tools. I really admire what you do!
Love the efficiencies that emerge when you have to do something several times. Good stuff
I love all the complications to what seemed to be a simple copy/paste project. it is so much fun to solve all those little problems.
lol. yeah. My brain wasn't ready for complexity this morning. 😅
Your problem solving is phenomenal.
Brilliant work, Matthias! Awesome mechanism! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I love the thought of all this. I would love to be able to do similar items but my ADHD would never allow it. Something shiny would come along and distract me.
Hey matthias, I saw this woodworking short the other day where a guy drilled pocket holes but instead used dowels in place of the screws. You should strength test these joints I saw, see how much stronger they are.
Thanks for showing those mistakes (if you can even call them that). And how many drawers does a man need? 😅
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

Always fun watching the master! Love your videos and work.
I learn something every time I watch you work. I really like the way you think/problem solve!
Using plywood for the T-shaped brackets was a good idea.
please can you active subtitle ? thanks !
Great video thanks
Yes! Mattias is back!
Maybe you could've of made some kind of pivot that lowers and raises the drawers under the standing desk mechanism
And the lowered position is only for when I'm not actually using the desk cause they'd bump into my knees while lowered.
👍
did something simular, but just with draw slides. Also added boxed in area at the back of desk for all cables etc, with doors from the top of the back of the desk, so I don't have to go under the desk to plug in stuf any more.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good job
Every time I see him use that ..I think...why hasn't he automated that thing yet
every time I use a drawer? Do explain!
It would be easy to just attach a stop block under the top of desk, so drawer doesn't fall out.
If I put a stop block under the desk, then the drawer wouldn't be able to close cause the front of the drawer hits it. And if its far enough back, then the drawer doesn't open very far.
6:40 i tried to do exactly the same once and my workpiece shot of. Was it because i can't tilt the router in my table?
Either you did exactly the same, or your router doesn't tilt. Which is it?
@@matthiaswandel exactly the same referring to trying to cut a half round groove into the bottom of a piece of wood.
Awesome Tutorial Type Video!! Thanks
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Very clever solutions with scrap wood!
Many thanks. I’ll need to make those soon.
Just curious, what’s your preferred keyboard height. Mine’s bent elbow height.
that seems about right. but I don’t do a lot of typing with the keyboard in a drawer so it doesn’t matter so much
I like that height because I have a lot of papers to sign and any other height louses up my signature. Thanks for your reply.
Very clever. And useful to me - I need to improve some kitchen drawers in a 1960's house I just bought. Thanks.
Once again a woodworking video from the master
I like the fact that you show the OOps moments and the corrections to them to keep moving on with the project. thanks for sharing. ECF

I have a mental disorder that won't allow me to have drawers built and installed in so many different ways. Unfortunately I would have rebuilt the desk or the lift in order to have matching desks and drawers, I just couldn't sleep at night.
Good old fashioned design by iteration.

SICK standing desk drawers
So many drawers
Very good 👏👏👏
