- Making a chest of drawers! First up, the carcass. I'm no professional and I don't have anything to teach, this is just me, sharing my thoughts and my work. Join me as I'm learning fine woodworking!

i seen this years ago and still come back one of the best woodworkers i know with handtool skills like you have keep it up brother
WOW!
The moment I saw you plane the thickness BY HAND, you had me hooked!
Top work and respect Sir.
Lovely to see a video without power saws, planers and so on. You make precise work by hand look easy (which it isn’t).
Cheers! It gets easier but it's a constant fun challenge :)
My thoughts exactly
My hat is off to you for using all hand tools.
From an old carpenter.
When I was young, I had no money to buy machines. Did everything with hand tools like you. Now I’m retired with garage full of machines but still find doing some things are faster with hand tools than machines. Nothing compares with the feel of a smooth cutting plane .
My respect buddy! You are a craftsman with the hand tools! I really enjoyed watching you build the carcass!
WHAT EXCELLENT WORKMANSHIP! Makes me wanna go sharpen my wood chisels! Thank you for sharing....
Great to see someone using their skill instead of power tools, excellent work
You have great skill for one so young. Very pleasing to watch.
This is what I love. No noise and dust from machines just the sound from hand tools. Wonderful work!
And no music.
I am very much enjoying your toolchest build. Thank you for not spoiling it with background music! Your high level of craftsmanship is readily apparent.
Nice episode 👍 Poly is such a horrid mess and cleaning is high impossible, here in the US we generally only use it for applications where the item will live outdoors
Top-notch workmanship. I learned a lot from this video. I'm going to give it a go in the very near future, and I'll be very pleased if mine turns out half as good as this.
Thank you, I'm happy you learned something!
Beautiful craftsmanship by a very talented young man. Great video, but honestly, I feel that I need to go and hug my table saw now.
Hello Gillis,
I've just come across your channel. This is an old build of yours but I'm enjoying it very much. I look forward to watching all your other projects. You've earned a frosty!🍺
The solutions you have for holding your work, while working, are very helpful. Your skill is something to behold. Many thanks.
Couldn't agree more; a hand-tool woodworker Thank you and now a subscriber. Kudos!!
Total respect, all hand tools, and a very good job too, well done thanks for posting from Garry in the UK
I hav chronic fatigue so need to use power tools to save my muscles but can utilise all the construction techniques still.
Excellent workmanship, a pleasure to watch.
I have a few of those MHG chisels....I love how controllable they are, nice and short. I know how challenging working by hand can be......well done sir!!
Awesome! Happy to find your channel!
Some of the best mitered dovetail joints I have seen.
Thank you so much!
Hi, your channel was recomended by RUclips and it was a satisfaction to see you working!!! Congratulations from Brazil
Excellent.
WoW ! great work ! Superb mitered dovetail assembly. Congradulations !
Wow!! Brilliant use of that little shoulder plane, to make your dado.
Great video, good eye for detail. I also like the use of hand tools instead of a lot of expensive machine tools.👍👍
Hi Gillis, you say that you don't have anything to teach, but... I kind of disagree with that;-)
Beautiful work!
Amazing skill and some crazy sharp tools!
Since I only discovered your channel today, there are fortunately still many new videos of you, which I will watch ALL in the near future. Really inspiring to watch you at work! Greetings from near Berlin and stay healthy!
Sorry for the late reply! I appreciate that a lot, hope you enjoyed/will enjoy some of the others you watch!
All I can say is WOW great job.
Great build! I'm so happy I stumbled upon your video. I'm in process of designing my tool chest. It will be slightly different from yours, but I'm totally stealing the concept of the drawer frames. This solved the missing puzzle for me, which was how to elegantly add runners to dovetailed drawers. That is not a problem in furniture-sized drawers, where the runner can fit in between dovetails, but you cannot exactly scale that idea down as either your runners will become too thin or they would ruin the look of dovetails.
Thumbs up just for seeing you doing all job with hand tools
Excellent Hand Tool Work. I like your Work Bench Set up.
Pretty darn good skills, buddy!,👍👍
Bravo, joli travail ... continuez longtemps , vous êtes doué.
Hello from Atlanta. Always a pleasure to watch you work.
Cheers!
Excellent and lovely to see someone using simple hand tools. Really good job. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Wow, You are a very talented young man! To see you make this build with NO power tools is amazing. 😄 Keep up the great work and videos. Look forward to watching you finish this chest.
Thanks for sharing.
Very nice work; educational and inspiring to watch. I admire your vision, attention to detail, and your patience! FYI, a note on the video production: the volume levels are quite uneven. Your voice volume is relatively quiet, but the tool sounds are much louder. Makes it hard to listen to, as the listener has to keep adjusting the volume. Thanks!
Thanks! I hope you’ll like my newer videos better then!
Well done, beautifully crafted carcase. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Love your Fahrenheit jig!
Thanks for sharing that, well done!
Thanks!
Hello from France,
It's a very good job, congratulations.
God bless you.
Merci beaucoup!
Thanks very clever on the dovetail frame fronts nice look to the build.
✔️🔔... Hello my new friend. I found her channel by chance. I like this project. I watched you curiously. I'm looking forward to the second episode and the finale. It will definitely be a beautiful tool cabinet (chest). I also love wooden hobby works. I'm trying to do just like you. Thank you for sharing. I am happy to be on your channel. I would like to see you on my channel. I wish you healthy and happy days. Great greetings. See you...
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it, hopefully I won't keep you waiting too long for part 2!
@@GillisBjork So, the second part will appear in a short time. thanks
Great work. You make it look easy. I love the mitered dovetails.
Looking good! Cool idea using a paring block to get nice 45 degrees, going to borrow that one.
Glad you found it useful!
Älskar att du slänger upp hultafors "tum"stock för att mäta med! så trött på alla måttband, talmeter i all ära dock! kul att hitta någon i sverige som gör det jag vill göra!
Great Job! Hope you'll be able to post more videos soon!
Very cool build!
Muy interesante gracias por compartir saludos
Wow! I think that your video shows the deepest commitment to exclusive use of hand tools that I have seen on RUclips!
That happens when you make your shop in a shed without electricity I suppose ;)
Nice to see you still on air. Stay healthy young Friend
Vielen dank :)
I like every part of it
Thank you very much :D
Nice! 👏👏👏
like your work keep it up
I too shall cut mitres to 113°F from now on.
I would be interested to know the reasons behind those 24 dislikes.
Impressive!!! to say the least
Excellent work! Can I ask what brand the bar clamps are at 6:52 - they look pretty nice.
Very good.
Thanks!
thank you
Good job
Pura vida Gillis thanks for sharing could you share the measures and plans of your tool chest? Pura vida again great job
Fuerza en los brazos
Are you skandinavian?
Greetings from germany.
I loved this video🖒🖒🖒
Yes I am. Thank you!
talented young man. Where would I get a small plane like one you're using?
Thank you! The tiny rebate plane is from Veritas, I believe they call it a detail rabbet plane
Thank you. From what I saw on video you will make a great woodworker.
What a ton of work-looks like it took a week to finish the carcass.
Closer to a month I think!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
gran trabajo, como se llama la herramienta que usaste para hacer las rayas en la madera
If you haven't already tried it, take a look at hide glue. It also acts as a lubricant and its not toxic.
Been interested but the need to heat it is an issue in my shop. I know there are liquid ones available but kinda hard to find around here. Some day! Good to know its lubricating too, thanks!
Loved the joke (45 degree to Fahrenheit) :)
👍
Great job, as always, Gillis! Hey, what is the name and maker of that small plane you used to make grooves? I think I’d like to get one-do you recommend it? Thanks for another interesting AND educational video.
Thanks a lot! The small plane is a Veritas detail rabbet plane. I find a use for it on almost every project, extremely handy.
@@GillisBjork What is the width of your detail rabbet plane? (Or, if you have more than one width, which do you prefer?) Thanks so much!
@@professor62 I think it's 10mm, might have been 3/8ths inch. Would probably only buy another size if I needed it specifically for smaller grooves.
I know this is over a year ago but i have a question. When watching its impossible to tell how long it took to do this nice work. I am curious, how long did it take to do the carcass work in this video? Very nice video and case work.
Thanks! I really don't remember but I told someone else it was about a month, and I got probably 20 hours/week back then.
45 degrees == 113F :-D
Came late to the party and was looking precisely for this comment. Thank you. :D
@@Uli_Krosse You're welcome!
@@CraigsWorkshop, but even if rong, it was funny 🤣
Waiting for the follow up video.
is that a bullnose plane you used on the drawer runner routing ? thanks !
Yes you could say it's a type of bullnose
Impressive skills, are you self taught or do you have a mentor?
Thanks! Learning from youtube, there is so much knowledge on this platform
Welcome back friend - we missed you!
Aww haha, thanks!
@@GillisBjork just about to start a tool box build so I will be watching closely
hey man it really be cool to get the design or cut list for this I'm replicating for sure and it would be much easier this that
Nice that you’re replicating it! I don’t have such documents, and they would be of very limited use anyway; just size it for the things you want to store in it, and the materials you have available :)
Damn! You cut the tree down, too?
I was searching for musician bjork and got this, yet I’m not sad.
Hahaha glad you weren't too disappointed
Hi, where did you buy these bar clamps?
www.hyvlar.se
Den där lilla Veritas hyveln, är det bra att ha eller? Gör du not med den direkt också?
👍👍🇸🇪
What is that blue thing at 9:38? It looks like something a cobbler would use to make shoes.
Also, I was wondering why you're worried about the polyurethane glue. Gorilla glue here in the US stains your skin yellowish, but has no lasting effects that I know of...
The blue thing is indeed a cobbler's anvil! It was my grandfather's, I think it's cool and has turned out to be useful now and then. Polyurethane glue contains isocyanates: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocyanate#Toxicity
Great video and a lovely tool chest! What type of plane did you use to cut the grooves ( 7:30 ). I've never seen one quite like it. Is it a type of router plane, or does it have a different name?
Thanks! it's from Veritas and they call it a "detail rabbet plane", it's pretty much a tiny shoulder plane
💯👍🏻🥳🍻🍻✌🏻🇺🇲
The bandage on your finger threw me off a bit.
Nice hand tool skills.
I hope you get electricity soon.
Can we do a GoFundMe and get this poor guy some real tools
What did I use that wasn't a "real tool"?
You make nice tight joints but what's with all the rust on the sides of your planes?
Aye expensive glue but you can off set the cost with your electricity bill .
Machinists chests are too small for us woodworkers. Your drawers look deeper
This is actually meant for the more machinist-y tools; I'll be keeping screwdrivers, drillbits, measuring tools etc in it, but yes, I wanted them fairly deep!
Sure, you COULD do it that way...
Take CARE ! I often see you chiseling with one hand in front of your chisel ! 0_0 NEVER DO THIS. YOU WILL LOOSE A FINGER THIS WAY ! Also what country are you in and how much does the beech wood cost you ? It loos nice to work but your using boards heavier than they need to be.
I mean when you look at old videos on a channel about the learning process, you will see some bad practices, but that specific one I couldn't find a single example of in this video...? I live in Sweden where beech is one of the cheapest hardwoods. Weight was less of an issue than lumber price for a stationary toolchest.
@@GillisBjork Ahh, I did not mean to criticize. Our technique is always improving we hope :) I just saw a close up at 11:21 that looked a bit scary :) Could have been nasty. I thought the chest might have been built for strength and durability so it all depends I would have made it a bit lighter though as I've seen many examples of these types of tool chest here in the UK, Mostly made of oak, that have stood the test of time and are 50+ years old. Your lucky you have access to such a fine material to work as here in the UK its expensive to obtain. You get a fine finish when you re-saw boards on the box video as a wedding gift. What tips do you have for re-sawing boards ?
some one buy this dude a sander
Rear panel is too thick. COuld you not have re-sawn this or used 3mm ply ? Your tool chest is going to be HEAVY!
I am very much enjoying your tool chest build. Thank you for not spoiling it with background music! Your high level of craftsmanship is readily apparent.
