Nice project! But I have to ask - why not get a table saw stand? You seem to have the $$$ for Festool but the saw stands are less than $150? It would be so much safer than standing over the table saw on the ground. 😬
Yes it could be safer. I have a better saw now and usually put it on a stand because it has wheels. I don’t have a dedicated workshop so moving tools in and out is always annoying.
I had not thought of that but it’s a good idea. You may have to adjust the drawer slide out a little farther to account for the extra thickness to allow the drawer face to be pulled tight.
Thank you. These have been really useful. We put things like waffle makers and other speciality items we hardly use to avoid filling up the other valuable space
Made kick drawers under my kitchen cupboards using push to open drawer rails. No handles on the front. If you don't know they're there you won't find them
@willypittner7139 yes, they are great. Easy to kick open and a great way to expand drawer space. Especially with things you don’t use much like a waffle iron
I actually got that at Home Depot in the small plywood section, but it’s birch plywood so less holes and voids. I was planning on going back and replacing the faces with hardwood but after using it for a while now I realized you never see it and even going down on my hands and knees and inspecting you can’t see any edges so nothing fancy is required

How to keep floor dirt from being swept into the gap between the floor and the bottom of the drawer? Maybe some felt or weather stripping?

Well done!

That’s some gorgeous plywood you’re working with. What species of wood is that? And I’m guessing that you got it at a lumber specialty store?

Can you provide a link to the drawer slides you used for the toe kick drawers?
@bradvuong I put a link for the product on Amazon in the video description as the first item, push to open drawer slides
Are you for hire ?
Sorry I’m not. I’m sure a local handyman could replicate it though.
