It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.
Thanks for s lot for this comment. I'm planning on building a router table soon and will reinforce it with some 2x4 or something.
I'm commenting before watching - but based on thumbnail I hope to hear "draw" at least 55 times. Don't let me down Tamar!
I think you got your wish lol
I was about to ask about that.. does she have a speech impediment or is there some inside joke I'm not aware of?
@@sumduma55 / No ! it's a normal Long Island New York accent
@@sumduma55 It is just the way she says drawer. She says draws. It is just her way of saying it. Good stuff as we all say things differently. No speech impediment just Tamar.
We are going to give this lady a complex...
I appreciate that you work with (and openly share) “workarounds” based on what you have in your shop (i.e., no dado). Many of us, myself included, have similar constraints.
I love this project! one suggestion on the dust collection: flip your door so that the slots are on the bottom, and the collector will pull air across that bottom shelf and help keep dust there to a minimum. It's already catching the fine stuff that doesn't make it, just needs a little help sweeping up the slightly bigger pieces. When they get to the bottom of that cabinet there's no air movement there to sweep them away.
I’m going to try that!
@@3x3CustomTamar I think the real issue is the location of your lower dust port. Since its at the top the heavier larger chips fall to the bottom, you basically built a dust separator. On most commercial router boxes the outlet is at the bottom of the box. What you did totally works and as long as you keep after it occasionally still a good solution but large chips will collect in the bottom if you dont move the port down lower.
Yeah that's a very good point, I think a curved ramp at the bottom would probably help as well.
@@justin.booth. yes another option, something to guide the chips towards the outlet
I think that's smart. I was thinking to have a slope added on the floor of that box.
"I literally just had it..." That's basically 90% of my time in my shop.
Anyhow, absolutely love ALL of the content you put out. I have learned so much from you!
😂😂😂 same same… thanks!
Yup. Try doing that on stream too, can't pause the camera or edit out the "oh FFS where did I put it NOW"
;)
You are amazing! You explain everything in great depth and are also not afraid to show your mistakes, which takes even more courage to show how you can improve.
great looking cabinet. And like others commenting on the way you saw "draw(er)" reminds me how much I miss Norm Abram. Thanks for a great video.
Okay I'm starting a new drinking game. Every time Tamar says "Draw" we take a shot of liquor.
But on a serious note, flip your door so the vent holes are on the bottom. Looks great 👍.
I’m going to try that!
dang.... have to call wambulnce... alcholo poison. fun game though
I had the exact same thought. Drinking game, not vent holes. 😎
@@marksimoneau7655 But Mark, the way that Tamar says 'Drawer' is so cute that it's worth it.
I never noticed her accent until her Q and A video where she talked about pronouncing “drawers”. Now that’s all I can think about! Oh, and I can’t wait to build this for my new router lift. Thank you!
Every time she says draw, I fall in love ❤
😂😂
I think every time she breathes, someone falls in love.💕
I have never heard you say “drawer” until your FAQ video. Then, I watch this one next! Ha! As a Southerner, I empathize with you…people are always making fun of us. 🙂
Great video! Love your process and how you walk through it all.
Matthew Allen, I was born and raised in the South, however, my mom was born and raise in Massachusetts. I get the best of both worlds. LoL
😂😂😂
Drrrauw Fronts! Classic! , love the shop furnishings!
😂😂
The remote control for the dust collector is the best thing ever! I have a "Y" attachment to my Harbor freight desk collector. One goes to the table saw, and the other goes to a hose that I can connect to any other thing in the shop. I ended up getting a truck filter because it was less expensive than the canister filters designed for it. It makes a big difference in the dust around the shop. Like $75 versus $250. I just hold it on with a tie down. Food for thought. Great video as usual.
Nice design, suggest moving the dust port to the bottom and slope the bottom down front to back. Gravity is your friend when you don't fight it. Also finish the dust compartment nice and smooth so dust and chips move freely. By having the dust port high its effectively like a dust deputy separating the dust from the chips.
Good idea for sure
Great project as usual. I use draw as well, picked it up from years of watching This Old House and New Yankee Workshop with my grandfather. Norm would be proud that you are carrying it to a new generation
Haha! So funny that ppl are so shocked to hear this accent!
Right! It’s not that rare of an accent. Someone even thought it was a speech impediment! 🤣
I’m glad you have a good sense of humor about all these unworldly people :) who’ve never heard something from Long Island or New England speak before. I think some Brits say “draw” too.
@@3x3CustomTamar I first noticed in in another video and thought more so that is was just another thing I didn't know about as I'm new to woodworking. After a couple failed google searches for "woodworking DRAWS" and hearing you use it in a couple more videos, I was able to use context clues to figure out what you meant. I felt so dumb/silly afterwards. lol
Not going to lie, I didn’t immediately comment on the pronunciation of “drawers” because I wanted to be sensitive in the event that it WAS an impediment! 😄 However, after I listened to you capably pronounce other words with “r” endings (four, more, quarter), I determined it was an east coast accent. I’m sure I’ve heard it in other videos of yours, but I think “draw” was every 5th word in this vid. 😉
I don’t understand how one can properly 😉 pronounce “four” and “quarter” but not “drawer,” but I’m sure people have similar questions about much of my Euro-accented English vocab!
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!
Absolutely love your method of sizing up the drawers and draw slides, Thank you
Awesome to hear
I really value your channel on RUclips! It's one of the few that I feel like I can come to for real pointers and advice. Thanks, for putting yourself out there for all of us plebs, Tamar!
That’s so awesome to hear!
Looks good !
Moving the dust box vent to bottom of box would increase removal of large chunks (with hole at top it is acting like a separator leaving the large stuff 'separated' .)
There are better vented insert plates (router cutter bit insert plate) , some by Incra or just modified with extra holes ) to increase air flow .
bingo - that and include angled pieces in the bottom corners to help direct dust and air flow to the dust port
I may try that
Exactly what I did too plus the angle plate after experimenting with the proper angle with some cardboard. Also put a furring strip around the door with foam gasket and magnets to keep the door closed...also used a piano hinge to help alignment over time. You can also add some small baffles to direct the airflow to the port keeping in mind most routers exhaust from the bit side. Note I'm only using a shop vac and HD separator bucket with 2.5" hose...works great.
Great job Tamar, you can always tweak it after using it awhile!!
I built much the same cabinet a few years back and put the dust port at the bottom with the bottom angled down slightly from the front and a couple of angled side pieces as Dogwood Tales mentioned.
@@3x3CustomTamar Something like this \_- on the bottom of the dust collection.
Well done that's one good looking router table you've built. You could also shorten the door and put a dust drawer below the router that could be emptied when done routering.
Good one!!!!
That’s a good idea!
Nice design! I made my router table out of MDF. For the dust collection, I went through a couple of revs but settled on a cool design. I made the cabinet space below the router with a sloped bottom made out of 1/4" melamine. Then I put the dust port at the bottom end of the slope. Now the dust just slides down to the port. I also made the door seal tight so the vacuum pulls more air around the bit and router. Really enjoy you channel - lots of good jigs and techniques.
Sounds cool
Some good, practical, common sense and time (and tears) saving tips in your build - Thank you!
Love this project, a extra out at the back bottom keeps it clean!
Thanks!
@@3x3CustomTamar I was wondering if the compartment might be to large and that's why there's not enough suction. Or is this just something that in inherent with a router table? Also, I thought it was kind of funny that you used magnets to hold the drawer face but no magnets to keep the door closed. Hmmm? 🤨
Great build, I'm in need of a router table and so far I like this one the best. Of course I will change a few things (I have larger hands) like possibly making the bit trays removable. Might be able to fit 3 per drawer that way. Again, great video and build. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos, but this looks just like Jsk-koubous router table 🧐 only noticed because I planned on building it myself 😂. The man deserves his credit
Was thinking the same thing😂
Tamar, that turned out awesome! Love the paint/finish job. Great job!
Thanks so much!
The way you explained how to get the correct width for the drawer fronts and backs is one of the best I have heard. Everybody usually rushes thought that spot, or skips over it.
Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Noticed the diming of the lights when you turned on the dust collection. That means that that there are too much on that line so the wires have difficulty pushing enough Amps. That means that they run a risk of getting too hot during prolonged use at that level. At the moment it's only a problem when the dust collector needs its starting power though it's better to put the dust collector on another fuse than the lights to avoid that issue.
Yup. Something I mentioned previously about my shop being underpowered. All something I’m hoping to fix 👍
@@3x3CustomTamar An easy and economical (in the monthly bills) fix is change all your bulbs to led's, if you haven't already. One tenth the draw of incandescent and about one fifth the wattage of fluorescent with the same brightness. But, electrician here, he's right about separating the lights. They should be the only thing on their circuit and that's easy to do. That will free up more power for the motors and keep the wiring cooler.
Congratulations for depicting two smart elements to do the work: get your hardware first and design around it. Also, use the components to generate cut lines without ever measuring.
Glad you liked it 👍
I'm absolutely loving your videos. I'm just looking into starting this hobby; I don't even have a circular saw and I'm learning so much. This is really cool
Awesome to hear
Another great and very useful project. Thanks for all the comments and info you share !
Glad you liked it!
"Alright, let's build some drawers"! Golden...solid work. ☮
😂😂 thanks!
What you could do, is put the outlet hole of the dustcollector at the BOTTOM of the cabinet so that even if you get some dust you can just push it in to the outlet hole and it'll get sucked up.
Agreed, the particals my be too heavy to go out the top wall dust collection port. Flip the hole to the bottom and create a slight funnel to reduce the amount of open space. If your motor isn't strong enough you may also have to empty your collection bag/barrel more often.
As probably so many of your viewers, I certainly hope you and your family, home and workshop got through that horrible hurricane without to much pain or damage....rr Normandy, Fra.
All good! We were very lucky. The neighborhood was a mess yesterday
This is brilliant, so much more space you have there! My ‘workshop’ is crammed into a 6x12 shed, and half of that is storage!!
Thank you yet again for sharing
Glad you like it!
I wonder if there would be less dust in the router compartment if the dust extraction hole was at the bottom of it. 🤷♂️ Great project and result!
I will try!
My thoughts exactly.
Watched to the end… “I literally just had that..” is the age old comment of every woodworker ever. Great video
And when we drop something, it's "where, the ...., did that just go?"
I did this last night with a tiny 2x8mm pin cut from an old drill bit..
Tried to hold with needle-nose pliers when cutting with the grinder, pliers clipped together, pin vanished instantly, didn't even hear it hit the floor as I was wearing earmuffs.. I'll literally NEVER find it.. lol
Where do these things go?!
@@3x3CustomTamar there's a void they fall into.. possibly a different dimension..
All becomes clear after we die, and we get to spend eternity wandering around looking at all the things we lost over our lives.. 😉
@@genelomas332 I suspect they end up in the same place that random socks, and 10mm sockets wind up in.
@@tree_carcass_mangler ah yes.. the infamous 10mm socket.. can't recall how many of those I've had to buy over the years..
I guess I'll get them all back when I die.. ;)
I'll be the Socket King.. ;)
Thank you I bought the router table cabinet plan, and the portable work bench got my attention so grabbed that one too. I have watched several of your postings. I just manufactured 8 kitchen cabinet doors and my floppy router table annoyed me I was just going to build one but thanks to you I don't have to draw the plans. Love your guitars I saw in one of your videos, haha I have 5 guitars not allowed to buy more. I built one of those guitar racks but realizing in MA. unless I was running a humidifier/ dehumidifier my guitars needed attention so they are back in their cases with built in humidity meters.. Enough said HaHA Thanks again😎
That was a brilliant tuition, lots of great tips, it looks fabulous too. The highest production values, I particularly enjoyed where you dramatically slowed down the speed whilst reaching for the screws.
Hahah! I thought that was funny when I was editing. I don’t remember doing it
Great project 👍
I'd recommend upgrading your filter bag for a canister filter. Not only is it better for your lungs, but better performance out of the system. Another power increase you could gain is if you run pvc pipe as far as you can, and only use flex hose as short as necessary. Check out Stumpy on RUclips, he has a great deal of detail about this. But maybe after a move? 😉
Love the remote on the cable! Got a link by any chance?
Thanks! All going to be upgraded soon… 🤞🤞🤞
Those remote boxes burn out quick. I went through two 3 packs already then realized never turn it on and off right away. Wait a about 10sec b4 turning it on again
another impressive project done by your husband !! especially the draws ! :P
😂😂😂
Thank you for the video. I love watching your projects.
Cut, drill, assemble. Very mechanised. Good tools. Well supplied.
Did your family members take exception to your “no visibility” policy - at least partly? And as others have noted, Guinness may be contacting you for the most uses of “drawer” per minute as revenge in a video. Congratulations on your FWW article.
I didn’t show their whole faces. No one would be able to recognize them ☺️ and thanks!!
Nice job! I know you feel better as routers are insane with dust. Now you’re able to contain it while also having your storage all in one area. Keep up the great work and let’s continue to inspire others. 👍🏼
So happy with it!
Nice job! For the dust collection at the end. Instead of air flow holes at the top, put only one maybe two holes at the bottom of the center door. This may create enough circulation at the bottom where you need it most.
Looks great. I’d already built mine but I like the way you inset the back for DC parts, and the draw pulls. Great video.
Glad you like it! Thanks!
I ALWAYS learn something new from your videos. I especially like your "hack" solutions to problems you encounter along the way - very inspiring! Sincere thanks!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Really nice work Tamar. Great idea with the foam storge for the router bits. I'll be using that one with my left over foam! Thanks for all your editing work!
Glad you liked it!
I enjoy how you show the little flaws and your effort in fixes. Trial and error is how we learn and we need our mentors to show us that these things happen. 👍👍👍
Glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing. Your channel is an inspiration to our channel and several others. Keep it up!!
Glad you like it!
Long time since I watched you on YT. Seeing that Triton plunge saw and your table saw are an excellent brake on my mouse as I was getting sucked towards Makita, then Mafell and Festool packages including saw, track, boxes, and dust extractor vacuum with the new Festool small table saw. Thanks from the bottom of my bank account.
On getting children to eat veg. I cracked that with my son about 25 years ago by sweating/toasting chopped brassicas, peas, green beans, etc, in olive oil with a bit of salt and chilli flakes. Suddenly, he started hoovering them up. Turning 20, he introduced his no-greens drama college friends to the idea, along with freshly caught gurnard from the sea. They also hoovered it up. Steaming with butter and chilli flakes works, too. Now he's doing it with his four children.
Oh - while at drama school, he did door to door sales of Hello Fresh in London, UK
man, this is ridiculous how much effort you put into this video! absolutely amazing job!
Haha thanks!
As someone that recently built cabinets for my garage (first time ever) I appreciate that you step through the measurements of the draw(er) spacers…
Glad you like it!
Love the table! Really awesome job!!! Definitely worth copying!! I love the idea of sinking the bolts into the plywood for the wheels! Great video as always!
Glad you like it! Thanks!
When you were drilling with the forstner bit, I thought that you were going to be using Tee-nuts with the casters.
@@mattheffron391 Me too, that is what I did on my first few mobile cabinets. But the last couple, I have switched to using 1/4x20 carriage bolts. I still use the forstner bit to sink it in from the top, but I think it is a cleaner solution.
You never ceast to amaze me !!! I love that smile at the end !!!! We could tell, this job was something you really wanted!!! Good job woman !!!!
Glad you liked it! ☺️
Beautiful job Tama! I need to do the same on my router table.
I built a router station that was very similar to this ( the New Yankee Workshop version) and I had the same problem with dust collection. Works good at the fence but not good underneath the router. Great job. Love your videos.
Definitely something to play around with. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this. Really nice job this build. Thank you for not having annoying background music as well! 👍👍
Glad you appreciate that
Nice build, thanks for sharing
Great video as always.
Glad I'm not the only one that constantly misplaces stuff too. Swear I spend more time searching for things "I just had!!" than actually making stuff... 😁
WOW - again a really nice addition to your shop, CONGRATS!
Thanks so much!
Got the plans! Another great 3x3 Custom design and build and a super video, too! Thanks.
Awesome! Hope it works out for you! Thanks!
Great job! Love the black rattle can paint with the Baltic birch. I’ll have to try that.
Thanks!! Happy I decided to just go with this and not spend the time doing edgebanding. Ha
Excellent! Really cool. I finally have my workshop built so definitely going to be using this!
Awesome.
Nice job! I really like how you improved your router table.
Thanks so much!
Great build! My solution to keep track of the DC remote was to attach a badge clip (as found on I. D. Badges) to it, and then clip it to top of my t-shirt (similar location as your mic) when I'm working. When not in use, it clips to a nail on the side of one of my cabinets.
another project i am going to have to put together. thanks for the great idea. keep em coming. absolutely love it!! i have a cheap sears/crafsman table for my router but find it lacks stability and smoothness and i cant add the jigs i want. i was sitting and drawing a few sketches and bam. saw this video and was like. there ya go. you're awesome. keep up the great work
best router table ive ever seen !!
Awesome to hear!
I love the idea where the bits are stored and yes I had the same problem with router bits that hasn't been used for a while.
Thanks! So much better than how I was storing them before
superb build ,and not a drop of wood glue insight.👍
Tamar, again a great learning video. I am amazed at what you create using the Minimalist Table Saw.
Thanks son much! Glad you liked it!
You did a killer job on this build Tamar! I love it!
Thanks so much!
Another great job, Tamar. Storage is always a problem (I have tools and bits all over the place!) but you’ve come up with a trim and compact solution…and the Avengers Assemble line might just be the neatest link I’ve heard in quite a while 😄
Hahaha I felt like such a dork saying it 😂
Great job on your router table. Amazing craftsmanship and keep up the great work
Thanks so much!
Love the project! Just wish I had the room for it. Thanks for showing us.👍
Glad you like it!
One of my fave videos of yours. Thanks Tamar!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Really practical. Like to watch and listen as are a bit of a perfectionist and like to push the boundaries.
Ha glad you liked it!
Perfect timing. My router "table" is in the side wing of my table saw, and I am getting a new saw. This is my next shop project! Thanks!
Awesome
Really like your color scheme - black carcass and unpainted "draw" fronts. Also really like your groove-and-dado-trapped "draw" bottoms with pocket-hole joinery - that combination is a favorite technique of mine as well for shop fixtures including similarly trapped cabinet backs. Even the shorter "draw" back - just like traditional "draw" construction with a solid wood bottom and dovetails to join the sides and back.
My shop (garage) lights dim when I start up my tablesaw; my practice is to only run the table saw with the lights off on that circuit, meaning in daylight with my garage door open. Here in the Houston TX area I can usually get away with that year-round.
Really nice build and very helpful to a wanna-be-weekend-warrior like me.
Glad you liked it! Yeah. My electric needs an upgrade
Cabinet came out beautiful!!!
Thanks so much!
Great result. Looking forward to next projects. I love the accuracy you are doing your work. Thumbs up!👍😉
Thanks so much!
Hello Tamar from Worcester, UK...always love your videos, especially during Covid...always entertaining & just such a natural at it...great work..please keep it going! Stay well, all.
Thanks so much!
Great job Tamar! You'll get a lot of enjoyment out of using it. The air vent on my dust collection box is at the bottom. That way the air is drawn in from the bottom up towards the top where the hose suction is coming from. I think that will help. Also, if you wipe the inside of the plexiglass with a dryer sheet it will help keep the sawdust from sticking to it.
I’ll def play around and try that!
YES!!! That's EXACTLY how my dust hoses are attached to my ceiling rafters. 😍
Fabulous project as usual.
I liked the final outtake - amazing how the Tape Measure always needs to be found, it's my pet frustration no matter what I'm doing. Bought an extra one to stop faffing about it too much but it inevitably gets "lost " as well 🤣🤣. The joys of woodworking I suppose.
Thank you for this invaluable tutorial - from one lady to another.
Haha I have like 5 of them 😂
Thank you for another great video and an excellent build.
Glad you liked it!
Отличное исполнение! Всё чётко и аккуратно 👍!
I really like the dark design! You have a good eye for contrast ❤️
Thanks!!
@@3x3CustomTamar any time! I love your videos!
Hermosao módulo! Felicotaciones!
your videoes are fantastic I watched for hours I learned a great deal thank you
Great work!!
Beautiful!!! Congrats👏👏👏
Thanks!
Geat build. Looks really nice. Thank you for posting and continuing to build awesome stuff.
Thanks so much!
Awesome build Tamar! I'm sure lots of other folks mentioned this, but I had the same issue on my table and found that moving the dust port closer to the bottom of helps as well as putting in mitered pieces to help direct the dust towards to port :)
Check out the Milescraft Dust Router. It attaches to underside of router lift and eliminates dust entirely. Best $30 I ever spent for my shop.
Going to try!
I really like your design and build of the router table. I also was confused as to what you were talking about at first when you were saying “draws”. When I caught on to what were actually is “drawers”. I started to get a kick out of it. Thanks for the lesson and the laugh.
😂
Another Great build Tamar! I’m definitely using some of your design in my next router table upgrade!
Awesome. Glad you liked it!
Great build, love the clear door! This is one upgrade I have wanted to do for a while, but you know how it is, lol.
Hahah yup… I know how the story goes
Great video! I always learn something from your projects. Have a great day Tamara
Awesome to hear!
Best drawer slide explanation ever! Thanks👍
Glad you liked it!
I think you read my mind Tamar. This video came out just in time for me to stop planning my own version of a router table and just use yours. Thanks, you rock!
Awesome!!
Outstanding guidance there mum, teaching the boy how to hold his fingers when cutting!
Look's really nice! 👏
