A good 75% of my projects go to my coworkers or family. I have also found broken furniture that people were throwing away, fixed it up, and gave it to thrift stores. A great way to hone the craft, and still not fill up the house. Great job, David.
Whoever gets it they will use it and pass it on before throwing it away. I hope whoever buys it reaches out to the creator and we can watch a reunion video
Besides your hate of making drawers, it might have been fun to build walnut drawers for the plastic case, to make some kind of Yin and Yang storage cart! Anyway, very nice build :)
You have the BEST toys!! Many years ago I(1968) worked for a man who had a nice set of woodworking tools in a small area of his factory; I was his secretary and had cart blanche to use them. One Christmas I made all my women friends bathroom wall shelves with scrolled edges and an attached towel bar! I had a blast!!!
Good for you. So happy you donated it. There's nothing like the feeling of doing something you love, creating and then sharing it freely with others. You made my day. Brought a smile to my face that there are still good people in this messed up world.
Absolutely blown away by the ending -- could not have imagined what you were planning. I hope someone will love this as much as you and those of us watching your videos do.
Cool idea. I bought one of these for work as my desk didn't have drawers. I just used pretty paper in the drawers fronts for privacy. It made the entire unit look nicer. I don't think I'd go this far with a plastic storage thingie though. 😁
This was an extremely enjoyable video. Perhaps my favourite yet - with your artistic nature and humour shining through. The ending was sheer perfection.
I love the ending. We used to always joke about making art/design pieces and just taking them to Goodwill and hoping that people reach out and give us a shout out if they find it. It feels like a great way of making art and sharing art. Thanks bruv. keep doin your thing :)
I'm just imagining someone thrifting this and going "You know what would make these lovely walnut-cased drawers even better? Painting over all the walnut!" 😂It turned out lovely, and though the stain is not the exact color I would have chosen, that's before seeing it together with the acrylic drawer front colors you chose. Absolutely made for each other, and really tied it all together imo. What a fantastic first video to see... now I need to watch the pizza table video referenced here o_O
Curse on you for even mentioning paint over that beautiful walnut!!😂😂 Have to agree on the choice of stain. I would have gone a tad darker myself. And perhaps put different colour drawer fronts (all black?). But, hey, each to his own - that's what makes Doing It Yourself so much fun! And what a nice ending! Doing it for the sake of honing the art and then nonchalantly dropping it off at Goodwill. Good for him! Never underestimate that warm fuzzy feeling!
Completely ridiculous, and I'm totally here for it. Fun project and a new way to not put more stuff in your own house: let somebody else put it in theirs! I did really like the addition of the acrylic to add some fun colors. Thanks for sharing!
This is my first video I saw of yours. I love how quickly you get into the project and the explanations, as well as how you do it in an entertaining way. You gotta the best 'Dad energy'.
That was beautiful, that was love! So many people struggling and are just trying to have something and I know someone is going to be so grateful to own this!
This rarely happens with me. My jaw literally dropped. Surely other commenters have said the same. I was gobsmacked. Because I was listening and not watching as I fed my dogs (assuring you it was for a good reason), I jealously heard the sound of your tools, so the finished product took me surprise although it shouldnʼt have. I see so many fixes of this product yours caught me surprise. Bonk on my forehead as I remembered you said you hate doing drawers. This is my favorite fix of all time. It is a teaching opportunity of love.
I have kept all the drawers from these rolling carts waiting to find time to build a wood unit to put them in. I am so excited to see I'm not the only one thinking of this. We are in the process of remodeling our wood shop, so this is perfect timing.
You just got a new subscriber due to your generosity. Everyone deserves to have sturdy, reliable furniture that looks good. Sadly, not everyone agrees. "It doesn't cost anything to be kind" is true. When a little love of the craft is thrown in? Makes the kindness sweeter.
As for an idea for the acrylic pour..... Got a drawer mold? Like a larger plastic drawer and a smaller plastic drawer? The irony of a second upbuild wood be so sweet! (Pun intended)
For many years, I was really 'into' anything & everything about woodworking. But my wife and I live in (lease) a 'stick-built' 700 sq. ft. 1 bedroom home with NO garage. The house looks much like a mobile home does, but sits about 2 feet above the concrete pad its placed on, so its got a LOT of storage 'underneath' it. The point I'm getting at is that I eventually stopped doing any type of woodworking because it's a huge PITA to drag the table saw, miter saw, planer, etc. out from underneath the house - rush to finish a project before the sun goes down, or it gets too windy - blah, blah. But this video I just happened to stumble upon this morning made me think of how much I truly enjoyed watching your channel years ago - seeing it grow into where you built your existing shop and it makes me happy to see that you're still creating content. Fun videos like this one make me want to go out and buy one of these cheapie storage carts and drag everything out from under the house and get 'into' woodworking again. - Ha! Anyway - As cheesy as this may sound; Your level of enthusiasm, humor and skill - both physical and digital - is extremely inspiring and I just wanted to thank you for giving me these thoughts - because they helped to brighten my Sunday morning. Thank you, for sharing this content. 👊
This is wild that this video happened today. I have one of those cheap plastic containers near my front door and I've been thinking it's gotta go. Thanks for posting this.
“You won’t believe the where this goes at the end”😂😂 Awesome work Dave! Keep up these type of videos. There’s a lot of mediocre furniture and household goods that need a little Piccuito-fication.
This was my first video I have seen of yours. Really cool. What was really awesome though, was taking it to Goodwill. I never would have thought of that. I have way more ideas of what I want to make than places to put them. This lifts those restraints, and hopefully others can take pleasure in them. Awesome karma!
Has to be some of the best content out there. From the creativity in the projects, to the incredible humor and video editing, to the theme music you create yourself. Thank you sir, I truly enjoy your videos (and learn from you as a woodworker)!
I love that you donated that! I do the same sometimes. I will actually finish making or repairing something I decided I don't like or want, just to donate it somewhere where it can be used. ❤️
I literally have this exact plastic drawer I bought from Goodwill and have been racking my brain how I could make it sturdier & look better with a wooden frame. Yes I hate making drawers. This is incredible work! ❤
Love this. Might have hubby make it for my bigger plastic drawers. Would love to find something like this at my local thrift store. BTW thanks for the great tip on the acrylic in the drawer fronts never realized those side grooves were there gonna have to pretty up my drawers now!
Hell yeah. I did this kinda about a year ago. Found 2 similar white 3 drawer units that fit into the middle cubby of my desk. But the white was ugly. So i spray painted the white housing black. Left the drawers clear. And sprayed the handles a nice soft mint color. The black matches super well and the mint is a nice bit of pop. Yours turned out amazing.
I've always wanted to make a strong casing around plastic drawers and storage tubs. The reason for me is that when you use their capacity for storage, the plastic on the lower units buckles under the weight from above. So I love this for that. I'd like to see something along that line that might be more workable for someone with very limited tools (perhaps using dowels). I've wondered if storage tubs could be updated with wooden lids that stuck out further and had spots for dowels in the corners, so the lids and supports were bearing the weight rather than the plastic bins. (I'd also like to see if broken lids could be repaired with a soldering tool and scrap plastic. (That's one tool I purchased with that use in mind.)
Thanks for the idea. A couple of years ago I made a table to use as my office "desk"--no drawers. So I put one of those cheesy plastic drawers under the table for storage. Now I know how to make it classy and match the table.
So cool! Love the editing, music, basically the whole "thinkin' outside the plastic box" vibe of this video. Also super-cool that you just donated it at the end. I've really been enjoying your videos recently. You're definitely one of the makers I follow that I'm always excited to see a new video pop up. Keep enjoying yourself in the shop.
I think I’m going to build a version of this. I have a 3 drawer one in the closet that holds my shirts and extra sheets. It’s been getting a bit broken but didn’t want to replace as it fits the spot perfect. This is the solution
I must say I'm surprised at the "end use" of the cart, but it's awesome that you did that. I'm assuming it is a write off, but someone will be getting a very neat piece for a great price. Good idea on amping up a "cheap" piece.
Oh, i wish I could invite you to our storage shed. We have 4 huge walnut slabs that will be our countertops. We also have incredible slices from an old walnut tree that had to be taken down at a local park, that have some of the most unique figuring I've ever seen. Sigh. Yeah, I'm afraid to touch it.
This might be weird to say - but I usually skip through most videos I watch. I gotta say, this one was the exact opposite, I actually paused a couple of times and went back because I got distracted by something. I love the project, great job Dave!
what a coincidence having this video pop up. I am actually elbows deep in my project with a 3 drawer thing JUST like this. I don't have the machinery or great gadgets as you. I am making mine a roll around side table..The top drawer will remain and house paper,pens, possibly the tv remote. The bottom 2 drawers are making way for a trash receptacle with minor plastic trimming. When I go to the hardware store, I always look for wood scraps for less or free. I happened upon a perfect piece of cabinet plywood (free) just the size that I needed. Hope to finish it tomorrow.
Great work. This is my new favorite Make Something video. Maybe the repurpose / upcycle / donate is the signature style you’ve been looking for?? Keep it up.
This is simply outstanding and inspiring. You would not believe it but I have one identical plastic cabinet as your’s which by the way could be produced by a company in my home town called “Tontarelli” (now of course Amazon has millions of copies of the same product but that is the sturdy original). Well one of my dilemma of late was how on earth can I turn this in to something woodish without having to trade off its ergonomics. You have just blessed me with an amazing example of beauty and commitment to make things happens with creativity and discipline. Love your t-shirt. Thanks and grats. Emanuele from Ancona
What an awesome way to make cheap plastic furniture look cool! I like the new editing style too - it looks like you’re having fun with it! And I think it’s cool that you donated it! Someone will get to have a cool piece at an accessible price - nothing wrong with that, but funny troll bait ;)
This was so cool to watch. I am always fascinated by people being able to make/build/reimagine things. Always wished I could learn how to build with wood. Donating brought a BIG SMILE to my face. Great job sir!! I subscribed instantly!
I needed drawers for a MCM walnut nightstand that had an opening at the top. Wanted to remove the legs and add casters to make a cart for sewing supplies. Happened upon two bamboo flatware holders that were the perfect size. $9 each. Worked perfect.
I’m sitting here having my coffee and just found your channel. Really enjoy your humor and pacing. Will be hearing REM in my head anytime I’m sanding now. Have a coffee on me. Thanks! :)
Haha, super amused at the final resting place. I'd like to see you use the cut up frame pieces and shape them into "boards" with the epoxy. Then resaw them, and make drawers out of them.
Don’t know why this was in my recommended. I am not handy at all and don’t use power tools except electric screwdriver, if that’s even a power tool. But I love how you turned that into a steady piece of furniture. I especially love the reaction to the jumping spider. My father was a brave man and the only time I ever saw him squeal like that was over jumping spiders. Thanks for the walk down memory lane❤.
Hahaha… the ordinary, everyday person needs thousands of dollars worth of equipment to work on this $16.00 item! But good for you, you are a creative artisan and good to see the end result and donation to a charity. First time watching, and loved it. Well done!!!
I just randomly found this video in my recommended and I love it. The t-shirts, the editing, the zipp and stop song, you, everything is amazing. And oh my gosh I love your car. Can someone tell me what kind of car it is because I actually shed a tear when I saw it, it's so beautiful.
Wow! I’ve been using a larger one of these as a dresser since I was a teenager. So about 20 years! I’ve had this exact thought the past couple of months! My wife is tired of my plastic dresser lol. It’s still in great shape and I just hate the idea of tossing out this much plastic!
So many good moments here David. Loved the remix of Bzzzt Stop, as well as the storage unit. Can't wait to see what is rippin' and snippin' next time!!!
So, you took a $16 POS storage cart, used $20k worth of tools and spent 20+ hrs (I'm guessing) and some nice walnut, to turn it into a $50 (again a guess) storage cart...just to drop it off at Goodwill? Cool! I can respect that.
Beautiful work, Dave! It really turned out amazing! 😃 I need to build something similar for my father's old stereo system... He bought it the year I was born, 1978! And I already had an idea of how to build it... But now I guess I need to show him how you made this! 😂 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
....I'm kicking myself for not thinking of this myself. I don't hate making drawers (but I love clean lines, so my drawers would be lazy) and I need practice... but I have frames to a few of these falling part, and I have been unable to think of the most obvious solution. Thank Algorithm for sending this my way.
You could have dropped that off on my doorstep, and I would have put it into my kitchen, for the every day needs of tea, coffee and Muesli :) my water kettle and two cups would have found a place on top :) Giving me ideas to get them from second hand when the carrier is broken anyway, and needs replacing, but the drawers are fine.
Somehow this video ended up in my suggestions and I'm glad it did. I love your attitude and style, tho I can't for the life of me figure out how you keep your work area/shop so clean and bare! Anyway, before you shocked me by donating this awesome chest of drawers, I was thinking to myself that I wish you had rescued the original chest from the thrift store. I'm a big fan of upcycling and I hate to see more plastic end up in the landfill. I am impressed that you plan on using the original plastic structure for something and I certainly hope you do. Now let me go grab that spare piece of walnut I have hanging out in the garage and try to make my own version LOL
Damn, Dave dude. You’re mid-key my new hero. Doing exactly what I dig doing and all with a snarky sense of humor and really good pacing; i.e. boredom finds no solace in Dave’s shop. Just found your channel. I’ll be binging now…

Awesome idea!
Didn't see the ending coming... someone got a great deal on a piece of fine furniture 😍
depending on where this is at an employee just got an awesome piece of work.
Whoever gets it they will use it and pass it on before throwing it away. I hope whoever buys it reaches out to the creator and we can watch a reunion video
@@Alkatross How would whoever buys it even be able to reach out to the creator? O.o
@@SammehMarley he left his name on the bottom. But I was thinking they might watch this video and leave a comment. That would be awesome.
I work right next to that goodwill. 😂

I doubt that plastic could hold the walnut drawers 😂
@@collef1136 the plastic doesn't even hold the plastic drawers!😆
This is a great idea
Use the Resin and plastic to make drawer fronts,

Wow, imagine finding this at the local goodwill store! nice build, David!
@@johndoe6032 Yep. $20 bucks!
Lol. Imagine finding fine furniture at a local goodwill…
I just hope it’s not scooped up by some RUclips “Thrift Flipper” and sold online for $200…

I'm always impressed by the clarity of David's view of himself as an artist and a creator - it sure as heck shined through in this one.
Outstanding and beautiful!
PS: "Chamfers are for Closers" t-shirts need to be a thing!
I can't decide if that or Blondihack's "Chamfers are what separate us from the animals" is better.

My office is right by that goodwill. Went looking for the "80's" table project from a couple of weeks ago- no luck spotting it.
I'm just imagining someone thrifting this and going "You know what would make these lovely walnut-cased drawers even better? Painting over all the walnut!" 😂It turned out lovely, and though the stain is not the exact color I would have chosen, that's before seeing it together with the acrylic drawer front colors you chose. Absolutely made for each other, and really tied it all together imo. What a fantastic first video to see... now I need to watch the pizza table video referenced here o_O
Hahahaha!
Curse on you for even mentioning paint over that beautiful walnut!!😂😂
Have to agree on the choice of stain. I would have gone a tad darker myself. And perhaps put different colour drawer fronts (all black?).

Here in the urban settlement called Toledo, we have a rare sighting of the elusive Mrs. Make Something. How magnificent!
Your editing is always on point. I love everything about your videos and personality. Thanks for creating!
This is my first video I saw of yours. I love how quickly you get into the project and the explanations, as well as how you do it in an entertaining way. You gotta the best 'Dad energy'.
This was also my first video from this guy and I gotta say the same! Loved the groovy music as well
Your videos are the best. I never find myself skipping anything. I appreciate the attention to detail to make fast and interesting videos.
Thank you Brian!
My suggestion for the plastic case is make Pizza serving dishes or trays. Good Job on the drawers, they look awesome.
That was beautiful, that was love! So many people struggling and are just trying to have something and I know someone is going to be so grateful to own this!

Thanks for the reminder to have fun in the shop!
That was beautiful. The drawers, yes, but more what he did with it at the end.
Don’t know why this was in my recommended. I am not handy at all and don’t use power tools except electric screwdriver, if that’s even a power tool. But I love how you turned that into a steady piece of furniture. I especially love the reaction to the jumping spider. My father was a brave man and the only time I ever saw him squeal like that was over jumping spiders. Thanks for the walk down memory lane❤.
A quad-sand? Breaking new grounds!
Glad you managed to find a way to rid yourself of that troublesome Walnut.
I'm making a teardrop trailer, and I too hate making drawers. Thanks for the inspiration
Hahaha… the ordinary, everyday person needs thousands of dollars worth of equipment to work on this $16.00 item! But good for you, you are a creative artisan and good to see the end result and donation to a charity. First time watching, and loved it. Well done!!!
"Made with love and hate..." hahaha I love it. Especially after the month I've had.
I just randomly found this video in my recommended and I love it. The t-shirts, the editing, the zipp and stop song, you, everything is amazing.
And oh my gosh I love your car. Can someone tell me what kind of car it is because I actually shed a tear when I saw it, it's so beautiful.
Thank you! 67 Chevy Impala
Wow! I’ve been using a larger one of these as a dresser since I was a teenager. So about 20 years! I’ve had this exact thought the past couple of months! My wife is tired of my plastic dresser lol. It’s still in great shape and I just hate the idea of tossing out this much plastic!
So you chose that beautiful wood and merged it with cheap plastic.I am glad you are happy with the end desultory.
I’ve made so many things to “use up the walnut” that people think I like it and give me more!
your passion for producing content really shines with this project ❤
This channel has the best video editing of all video editing ever.
This is my first video of yours that I have run across. That ending was so perfect, I’m definitely subscribing now. I like how your roll.
So many good moments here David. Loved the remix of Bzzzt Stop, as well as the storage unit. Can't wait to see what is rippin' and snippin' next time!!!
You have a fabulous sense of humor. Love your channel!
I LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE LOVELY PIECE OF ART!
So, you took a $16 POS storage cart, used $20k worth of tools and spent 20+ hrs (I'm guessing) and some nice walnut, to turn it into a $50 (again a guess) storage cart...just to drop it off at Goodwill?
Cool! I can respect that.
Beautiful work, Dave! It really turned out amazing! 😃
I need to build something similar for my father's old stereo system... He bought it the year I was born, 1978! And I already had an idea of how to build it... But now I guess I need to show him how you made this! 😂
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hello. You are everywhere.👍👍
Well…I absolutely love what you’ve done. I wish I knew how to do these things.
....I'm kicking myself for not thinking of this myself.
I don't hate making drawers (but I love clean lines, so my drawers would be lazy) and I need practice... but I have frames to a few of these falling part, and I have been unable to think of the most obvious solution.
Thank Algorithm for sending this my way.
You could have dropped that off on my doorstep, and I would have put it into my kitchen, for the every day needs of tea, coffee and Muesli :) my water kettle and two cups would have found a place on top :)
Giving me ideas to get them from second hand when the carrier is broken anyway, and needs replacing, but the drawers are fine.
Loving the New Diection Dave. Also love these conversion project. Lots of inspiration to take from them. 👍
I really like the upgrade to the plastic storage container. But I love the ending!
I love that you did that at the end, how cool! I don't know why that would make anyone mad!
I freaking LOVE this project. Can’t believe what you did at the end! GAH!!! You’re killin’ me, Smalls. Lol
Somehow this video ended up in my suggestions and I'm glad it did. I love your attitude and style, tho I can't for the life of me figure out how you keep your work area/shop so clean and bare! Anyway, before you shocked me by donating this awesome chest of drawers, I was thinking to myself that I wish you had rescued the original chest from the thrift store. I'm a big fan of upcycling and I hate to see more plastic end up in the landfill. I am impressed that you plan on using the original plastic structure for something and I certainly hope you do. Now let me go grab that spare piece of walnut I have hanging out in the garage and try to make my own version LOL
Damn, Dave dude. You’re mid-key my new hero. Doing exactly what I dig doing and all with a snarky sense of humor and really good pacing; i.e. boredom finds no solace in Dave’s shop.
Just found your channel. I’ll be binging now…
Thank you and welcome aboard!
Love the piece, love the ending, looks like you had a lot of fun with this.
