I was just fixing drawers with similar issues and I saw a comment about nylon tape on a woodworking forum. This video was perfect timing! I always appreciate your attention to detail and good instructions!
It was pretty cool the way the videos from your 2 channels l came up in my feed. I got to see you building the wall, hanging the cabinet and then repair the desk using the tool cabinet you just hung! LOL
Scott, I highly recommend you add a scrub plane to your hand plane arsenal. At 7:07 you could have trimmed off that excess runner material far quicker than it took the time for you to go in your machine room and run the drawer through the table saw. Not only is it quicker but you would have avoiding the noise, dust and danger of running the entire drawer through the table saw. I have four scrub planes (a Stanley No. 40, a 40 1/2, a wooden ECE and an antique wooden one). They hog off prodigious amounts of wood fast and are one of the most used types of hand plane in my shop. The older Stanley's are fairly common and not too expensive or you can pay big bucks for a new Lie-Nielsen or Veritas. Also great tip with the UHMW tape. I use it all the time.
I think you should put the section starting at 4:00 "how NOT to do this part of the job". When you pulled out that joiner plane, right idea wrong plane.
I have this EXACT repair awaiting me and I'm a 66-year-old widow without a woodworking shop. My plan has been to use a two-part epoxy filler with both the drawer sides and the runners (more worn than yours, I think). Although I don't know if with an epoxy the tape would still be needed, I'll bet it wouldn't hurt. Anybody have any comments on why my plan wouldn't work?
There is a myth that has been going around for many years, that you should never lay a plane, blade down, but should lay it on it's side. However a wood plane, is designed to plane wood and in the majority of wood working shops, the bench(es), shelves are made from wood.. So laying you plane, blade down on a wooden surface, will do absolutely no harm to the blade...so no need to retract it when storing, then extend it, to use it... Just make sure it is sitting on wood and everything will be just fine.
I like your videos, and the information you present, but why do you hide behind a green screen and pass them off as if you’re there it’s so obvious that it makes it almost unwatchable.
Congratulations on the new shop Scott. Looks like you will have way more room to weave your magic 👍
Hi Scott. Always a pleasure watching and learning from your videos. I live in the city of Perth, Western Australia.
Congratulations on the new shop. Your hard work paid off.

You must be referring to someone else's video. We have never used a green screen on any of our 100+ videos
Video compression artifact?
I guess more like human brains get confused when tables stand on tables.
