@@Chruce Oh I know it well. I feverishly watched the skeleton clock series, which is still quite possibly some of the most satisfying brass turning on RUclips.
@@larryfisher7056 - I though all this too: especially the over-engineered design that Frank will come up with - he'll turn his own wheels or something.
Frank your content is a perfect way to relax in current situation. I love how even though you had to put a lot of work in to just buliding these drawers, you also took the time to do your awesome stopmotion. Thank you so much!!!
Hy Frank ! I am in design school and I had to present an artist to my class. I chose you and I presented them with a presentation on what you did and they really liked it. I really appreciate what you do. Bravo 👏👏
A great video and project, if viewers take only one thing from this let it be Frank's bench saw technique, 1. The blade is always just higher than the work piece 2. Hands always well away from the rotating blade 3. A push stick is used to get the timber past the rotating blade. These are professional safety techniques for people who want to keep their fingers attached to their hands. Frank you are a real pro, thanks for showing us how.
WOW. Just WOW. That is an impressive project. I really like your disk sander. When I was a machinist apprentice 40 years ago, we had a big disk sander like that in the shop. One day I had some small metal pieces to sand. Since they were small they would get hot rather quickly, so I decided to hold them with a shop towel; one of those red ones. As I was sanding, a corner of the shop towel would flutter in the breeze a little and suddenly got caught between the disk and the table. Luckily it jerked the shop towel out of my hand rather than pulling my had into the sander. There was a loud explosion and little red snowflakes filled the air. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Don't ever hold parts with a rag or wear gloves when using that disk sander. :-/
Hello Mr Howarth. I sincerely enjoy people like you. Let me shake your hand virtually. I hope you continue to enjoy us with your videos. Greetings from Bulgaria!
Would that support the weight of the ladder and person safely with the French cleats? Not sure if John's system is similar in that fashion, but id be curious to see if it would be able to support that.
@doggfitt the ladder is on the ground. then you have the weight on the floor. the rails are there for guiding. and you don't have to attach the rails to the cabinets. 😃. I have the French cleats in combo with John system. And the are supported not. admittedly i have no heavy stuff in it.. the are to small to put big heavy things in them. 😉
Frank, you are absolutely brilliant! How you manage to keep all of the intricacies of these projects straight in your head is amazing. It would be an awesome trip if one could take a tour inside your head to see how it works. But since we can't, your videos will have to suffice. I love what you do, and how you do it. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, and keep well.
Good, thinking guys. In America there is a product called Door-Ease Stick Lubricant. Use it like a crayon. Works on the hinges of my old 4x4 with removable doors too.
For the drawer rails I like to apply some dry soap to make it slide more smoothely. Just take a piece of soap and rub it along the rails. Fast, easy, durable. Pretty animations! I liked them. :) Thank you.
Nicely done, Frank. That 4mm plywood is some of the most frustrating material that is made. It sounds like a good idea, and the price is right, but it always seems to lead to tears.
Frank I love your videos, Your commentary, Your humor, All that being said I do think your insane. What an undertaking, Beautiful, Nice work as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How you have the patience to add a robot arm animation sequence during all that work just blows my mind. You're amazing! Outstanding work Frank - video, wood, comedy .. you nail it every time!
Probably already thought of/mentioned - when you empty out a box then tear the front marker of the box with the manufacturer information and put in the bottom of the drawer for future restocking! It has helped me allot!! and frustrated when I forgot to :-)
Your skills and abilities as a master woodworker are amazing enough. The fact that you are also an accomplished videographer, storyteller and video editor is just mind boggling.
When you want to hang something long that has a hole in the end (like a T-square or a yardstick) use a straight rod that is put in at a slight upward angle. This will make it much easier to take the items on and off. I use a hook like the one you used, but I straighten the end so it has no bend in it.
I've always just used wood screws that have the longer section of smooth shank towards the head (I'm sure those have a specific name Im not aware of). Don't have to worry about an angle or anything, just drive it in until none of the threads are visible and the flared head keeps anything from jumping off.
Doggfite 👍🏻if you use a longer trim head screw (like 3") it will usually have a pretty good unthreaded shoulder and the head will be small enough to get through the hole on most things while still providing a little stop to keep things from falling off. If you need the smooth shoulder but don't have the depth for the long screw you can always drive it as deep as you need and clip off whatever sticks out the back.
When I made my drawers, I painted the fronts with black chalkboard paint and wrote the contents with a pastel pencil. Works exceptionally well and I can read contents from across the room.
Hey Frank love the project. An Idea for you that I do with my screws...cut the top off the box when you buy them and and park it on the outside of the drawer. That way you will know who makes the screw and the size of it and where you can go to refill the supply. I love the idea and it helps me a lot. when I go to the store sometimes I just take inventory or keep a running list of hardware I need so I can restock efficiently.
Lovely work Frank. I was lucky enough to buy 3 similar cabinets from the appliance repair company I work for when we moved premises after 90+ years. They were custom made from Southland Beech in 1923. Still working perfectly. Southland Beech is a New Zealand native timber, very dimensionally stable. Used in WW2 to build the Mosquito fighter bomber. Cost me 3 whole boxes of beer.
Thanks for this awesome video Frank! Not only do you show us 'tricks of the trade' but you also give us ideas and perspective about such projects and woodworking in general. Cheers
Very nice. I like the "every other" spacing idea. It really leaves this system open for fine tuning, or even re-organizing when desired. Mental notes are being taken, on my end here.
WOW that is some beautiful project. I made a similar type drawer but I used the plastic bins that are available for the Lista and Vidmar cabinet drawers. These are handy (and a LOT less work) because they can be removed and shuffled if necessary. Never bothered to do the math but I learn something new every day! 6mm = 0.23622 in, ¼ in plywood is really 7/32 in or 0.21875in. The almost 0.02 inch difference doesn’t seem like much but when cutting dados, looking for stiffness, or thinking your project can mix the materials it does make a difference. Fantastic work and amazing videography thanks.
This is one of my favourite channels and all because it is calm, relaxing, skilled and everything is paced so perfectly and it chills me out in the modern world that is too fast for its own good. Keep up the great work, Frank.
Love it, particularly the automated nailer LOL :-))) Now all your workshop $hit can be hidden - isn't OCD a wonderful thing :-)) Greetings from Edinburgh, Scotland - stay safe.
Only Frank can make drawer making entertaining!! Awesome! For those high drawers, it would be cool to have the drawer bottoms made of plexiglass to see whats in it without getting on the ladder.
Congrats for the foam idea and for the labelling....... the wrenches in place inside the black foam got me speechless..... if I may.... I'm suggesting clear bottom for the upper drawers in order to open them and be able to see what's inside.....
I made the same drawers about 8 months ago for my router bits! Only smaller. And only about 6 drawers. Apply some paste wax to the mating parts and those drawers work smooth as butter! Incredible job as always Frank! Thank you for sharing your work with us!! (Btw...I got the drawer idea from Jeremy Schmidt - another genius!)
After hectic days I find watching you make stuff brings me a kind of peace and calm in my mind and body and it winds me down. I wonder if you've ever thought about making mindfulness videos or being a voice actor? I think you would be as good at these endeavors as you are in your workshop,,,, Thank you anyhow!!
Com sempre ,Frank , es un plaer veure els seus videos. Jo no parlo ni entenc l'angles pero amb els seus videos tant didactics s'apren moltissim. Moltes gracies.Salutacions des de Girona.
The way you work and the constructions that are created are really enjoyable, from storage boxes to bowls. I wish you were close, I would call you to come and meet you up close. But Crete is far away, so I have to be content with the video YoTubeu !!!!
Frank, you spent 22 minutes making boxes and I had more fun and learned more that in many of my classes. I can't wait for the next installment of "Frank makes..."
Frank, this is coming along really well; congratulations for investing the time to undertake what all of us really need to do to make for an efficient shop. BTW, your disc sanding method brought chills to me!
Nice job Frank, entertaining as always! The drawers with the foam inserts in, if you sharpen a piece of thin walled tube (an old garden solar light stem is ideal) you can make a couple of half round cut-outs either side of the tool you are placing in the foam to make it easier to grab hold of. Take care and stay safe, now go wash your friggin' Hands, again!! lol. Cheers from "Over the Pond" ... Les.
As if Frank wasn’t already LEGEND he gives us this to sustain us while we save each other by staying home and not infecting those most vulnerable from COVID19. Over 22 minutes of mind-numbing perfection. WE LOVE FRANK HARD.
I am in awe of you doing this project! "Tis something I've always wanted.... I'm also amazed how much fun your videos are as well as how educational!! On the other hand, I'm exhausted after watching you build all those things!!! thanks for it all!
Great work as usual! I will caution you about using holes in wood to hold router bits, I did this and I had most of the router bit shanks rust. Yes, I live in Tokyo which is humid in the summer, but I have AC that runs 24/7 but still, I had the rust problem. Just saying. Man, that is a lot of parts! Love the jig for assembling the drawers. You should put a finger cut out in the foam for the calipers and CNC Collet wrenches. For your ladder to get into the upper boxes, put a steel rail, pipe, on standoffs on the top of the cabinet, then make a ladder with hooks on top, easy to take on and off and safe too. Cut the ends of the hook down a bit that you use to hand the T-squares. Really a fantastic solution for storage and man to I envy the space you have in your shop! Cheers from Tokyo!
@@alexwbakker I did that, I actually used rust inhibitor that works well, CRC - 3-36 I soaked the plywood with it constantly, but in the end, the router bit shanks rusted. I now use the Lee Valley bit holders, easy to move around the bottom of your drawer as well, as they are held in by a screw. Cheers!
You're incredible ! I have been watching your videos for several years now and thanks to you when I'm faced with a problem I think in terms of system instead of just punctually resolving the problem. Cheers from France :)
Your videos are always a delight to watch. I do have a suggestion for all the screws and such. I would tear off the box label and put that inside the bottom/back side of the box that would hold the screws, etc. That way if you want to reorder a specific brand/style, you have the information right there.
now all you need is a library-ladder of sorts. This system is so cool and looks super pleasing, especially since the one roofside its on is so high, it makes it feel so nice and spaceous
About organizing : glue an example of every screw/nail/whatever on the front of the drawer. So you can see quickly what's in the drawer. Some use photos, in stead of the real example, to put on the front of the drawer. Great video as always Frank 👍, stay safe. 😷
I am in the process of doing something similar in my shop. Just not on such a grand scale. Thank you for sharing Frank. Please stay healthy and have a good day.
What a wonderful wall! ha. I think it would be useful and cute to make a little shopping basket! That way when you go to the (store)age, you can load up on all the little bits and bobs you need and take them over to the work table.
I find a 1/4-20 threaded rod holds the t squares really well and make it much easier to get them on and off then the 90deg hook you have. The threads keep them from slipping accidentally. I also put the rod at a slight upward angle but I found that isn’t really necessary.
Hi Frank, EVA or HDPE are excellent foams for tool storage drawers. Not really something you would want to trace out with an exacto, but your router can handle it no problem.
Honestly, watching someone make dozens of boxes has no business being as entertaining as this is.
Its drumming around the campfire. Its following a house go up on your way to work.
Frank is the only guy who is like "I have this incredibly long and tedious job to do... I should also do stop-motion animation of it."
Aaron Bieber frank and Jackman works should have a tedious-off
Not the only one! Take a look at Clickspring's channel. Not woodwork, still glorious crafting.
@@Chruce Oh I know it well. I feverishly watched the skeleton clock series, which is still quite possibly some of the most satisfying brass turning on RUclips.
Seriously, this is more about the man's patience and commitment to a project than skill or design.
@@Chruce also soup classic motoring ;)
Your robotic arm nailer was Magic!
I agree with the other comments, a rolling librarian ladder would be a pretty cool build.
Exactly what I was thinking too. Great minds and all of that...lol.
@@larryfisher7056 - I though all this too: especially the over-engineered design that Frank will come up with - he'll turn his own wheels or something.
Yes! Library ladder all the way around the shop!!
For the foam cutouts, cut out a couple 3/4" semi-circles to easily grab the tools.
Frank your content is a perfect way to relax in current situation. I love how even though you had to put a lot of work in to just buliding these drawers, you also took the time to do your awesome stopmotion. Thank you so much!!!
The collections of screws around the shop is totally legit and authentic. I am relieved i am not the only one who has this going on in their shop.
Hy Frank ! I am in design school and I had to present an artist to my class. I chose you and I presented them with a presentation on what you did and they really liked it. I really appreciate what you do. Bravo 👏👏
Hey Frank, as always a great video. Maybe for a ladder you'd consider something like a Librarian's rolling ladder. That would be a cool build. Cheers!

Greetings from Bulgaria!
Great video! Thanks for showing your hiccups and successes. Including your family adds that needed touch. Keep the video’s coming!
Words cannot explain how deeply, deeply satisfying it is to see you create meticulous order out of chaos.
The ladder on a rail. Like in a library / bookcase. So one can slide it if it’s in the way. John heisz made sliding/pull out storage systeem.
Would that support the weight of the ladder and person safely with the French cleats?
Not sure if John's system is similar in that fashion, but id be curious to see if it would be able to support that.

Maybe Frank will donate his brain to science.
Hmmm... I'm seeing an episode of "Futurama" ... 😝
Your patience and persistence is something for the record books!
Just a humble suggestion you already know but paraffin on the runners will help the slide of the drawer.
My thought exactly. I used paste wax on the cabinets that I made a few years ago that are just like these. No where near as many though.
Good, thinking guys. In America there is a product called Door-Ease Stick Lubricant. Use it like a crayon. Works on the hinges of my old 4x4 with removable doors too.
Tom Johnson (Antique Furniture Restoration and Gourmet) uses a piece of old candle!
I watched this this vid specifically to know what he used for that purpose, but he never addressed it....
For the drawer rails I like to apply some dry soap to make it slide more smoothely. Just take a piece of soap and rub it along the rails. Fast, easy, durable.
Pretty animations! I liked them. :) Thank you.

You are incredibly patient. I hope these videos find wealth for your labor. Content is appreciated!
Probably already thought of/mentioned - when you empty out a box then tear the front marker of the box with the manufacturer information and put in the bottom of the drawer for future restocking! It has helped me allot!! and frustrated when I forgot to :-)
This is my preferred method. If they are expensive or hard to find I'll even write the price/source on the box.
I did this with a few, where I had the original box.
Your skills and abilities as a master woodworker are amazing enough. The fact that you are also an accomplished videographer, storyteller and video editor is just mind boggling.

@@jeremyspecce for rulers etc with holes, I like to hammer in a rivet at a slight angle. Easy entry, and a smooth aluminum shoulder to hang on.
The epitome of a wood workshop, fantastic, world-class!!!! And the video on your fake robot, sheer brilliance!!!
This is the mother of all RUclips drawer video's. Nobody else on RUclips ever needs to show the construction of a drawer, ever. LOL
A master craftsman's shop and house are full of awesome, useful, practical and beautiful things. Superb work 😄
When I made my drawers, I painted the fronts with black chalkboard paint and wrote the contents with a pastel pencil. Works exceptionally well and I can read contents from across the room.
That's a great idea for cost saving as well.
Thats a great idea for us that need glasses to read small print.
Hope you don't mind but I will pinch that idea! Cheers
That's a really nice idea.
Plus, you can easily change the label when you swap out the contents!
Your editing is beyond compare, as well as you instruction.
Your shop blows my mind. A table saw as an out feed for the table saw. Not to mention what you do in your shop. :)
Frank, you are a truly brilliant guy, and one who can hold an audience's attention for hours. Keep 'em coming, matey! Regards, Bob.

Holy crap I wish I was born with your patience Frank.
What a great storage wall. I can not wait to see what the ladder will look like that you design. Thanks for sharing.
The "Automated Jig" was one of my favorite animations of yours and you set the bar pretty high with the death star build and the lawn chair video.

Really a fantastic solution for storage and man to I envy the space you have in your shop!

Thank you for letting us know about the router bits rusting problem. I must soon make something for my workshop.....I will keep your advice in mind
I thought the exact same thing about finger cut outs in the foam ☺️
just spray the wood with WD-40 - it'll soak it in to the wood and protect everything
@@alexwbakker I did that, I actually used rust inhibitor that works well, CRC - 3-36 I soaked the plywood with it constantly, but in the end, the router bit shanks rusted. I now use the Lee Valley bit holders, easy to move around the bottom of your drawer as well, as they are held in by a screw.

Idk if this is weird, but there is something relaxing about his chuckle
Me and my younger son sorted through all my bolts and screws and stuff at the weekend, it took hours and we loved it!
Automated process animation got an insta-like. Awesome work
Sir, you have the patience of a saint, well done.
You are a scream! I love your work/videos your shop and having your family help is awesome. Thank Frank

pretty monumental amount of work. Have done much smaller quantities of shop organizing drawers and it was daunting. Kuddo's to you.
Fabulous system Frank. It has given me some good inspiration for storage in my new shop. Many thanks.
Wow! I am exhausted, from that experience of watching. Great job.
Frank.. I love this entertaining project so much. You are a great director...
About organizing : glue an example of every screw/nail/whatever on the front of the drawer. So you can see quickly what's in the drawer.
Some use photos, in stead of the real example, to put on the front of the drawer.
Great video as always Frank 👍, stay safe. 😷
Then the next video would be of the kids pushing each other back and forth on said ladder. 😀
Wow. That's a lot of drawers. I admire your patience. Will a rolling library ladder work in that space. That would be a fun build.
Claire did fantastic work. It's nice to have some talent in the family. :)
Machines taking away our jobs! That was a great segment Frank. I literally laughed out loud.
As usual great video from a fellow Oregon resident
Attention to details. Makes all the difference. Looks great
I am in the process of doing something similar in my shop. Just not on such a grand scale. Thank you for sharing Frank. Please stay healthy and have a good day.
Having everything in a compact location and sorted gives me visions what my shop in heaven will look like.
What a wonderful wall! ha. I think it would be useful and cute to make a little shopping basket! That way when you go to the (store)age, you can load up on all the little bits and bobs you need and take them over to the work table.
I loved the automation segment. Had to watch it a couple times. 👍
I find a 1/4-20 threaded rod holds the t squares really well and make it much easier to get them on and off then the 90deg hook you have. The threads keep them from slipping accidentally. I also put the rod at a slight upward angle but I found that isn’t really necessary.
Hi Frank,
EVA or HDPE are excellent foams for tool storage drawers. Not really something you would want to trace out with an exacto, but your router can handle it no problem.
Like always Frank. Well done is better than well said. You rock!
hi! just a tip:
you can use a graphite, into rails to get les friction to open it.
you can just draw into rail or buy graphite powder.
Always a pleasure watching you work.
I agree with the other comments, a rolling ladder would be awesome.
