Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Machinist Tool Drawers!

Adam's been using his lathe a lot more recently while improving his machining skills, and has refined his workflow and toolset ecosystem around the machine. And to help him better retrieve the machining tools and accessories he wants in a timely way, Adam is going to build a machinist's toolbox to store everything from flat and thread cutters to steel blanks and boring bars. And surprisingly, it's the first of this kind of storage drawer he's made as a One Day Build!

Please don't feel bad for doing shop infrastructure builds. The infrastructure builds are always my favorite episodes.

Have I just spent 42 minutes of my life watching Adam Savage build a set of draws? Absolutely. Am I already thinking about making a set of draws to mimic this, but with green felt and wood-stained like the draw sets I've come to miss from my apprenticeship days? Absolutely. I love watching content like this, its inspiring, but also oddly therapeutic!

The One Day Builds are amazing. Coincidentally, I thought about making almost exactly the same thing about 15 years ago. Took me a bit longer though. It should be finished in November. .

[@chickennugget6611]

did you finish it yet?

[@elerileigh7926]

"drawers are where things go to die." - Adam Savage a few years ago on this exact channel but this isn't the type of drawer he's talking about, he's talking about cabinet drawers that aren't organized and/or are more then 1 tool deep, not labeled and not purpose built, things with a purpose are infinitely better then anything designed to try to fit as much as possible and look nice,

[@michaelpettersson4919]

Indeed. Thease drawers, content even if left unused for many years will be ready to be used. Perhaps by someone else.

[@tiacho2893]

The biggest thing for me is making something reasonably purpose built so it does the job well. But, at the same time, it has to be flexible enough that it can adapt to other uses. I love french fitted tool liners but I made mine modular so I can rearrange things or make another one when tools change (kinda like Adam's Sortimo system). It's not as tidy as one single sheet of foam but scrapping an entire liner when you have to replace one tool is annoying. It's like drilling a series of precise holes for drill bits but suddenly needing to fit an odd size (for an odd thread that you suddenly need periodically) in the middle.

[@raymitchell9736]

I think in this case he has four factors that make these drawers "useful" #1 they are a collection of like items that belong to the piece of equipment located in the same space instead of three locations separated throughout the shop... #2 they are shallow drawers, one layer deep. If he made them any deeper then you would lose first-order retrieval (or is that second-order since it's inside a cabinet?)... #3 everything has a "home" where it lives and that will make it easier to keep the shop organized both when needing/finding the tool and when cleaning up and putting away said tools... #4 drawers will keep the majority of dust away from the tools... So overall, it's neat.

[@guitarchitectural]

it's almost like there's a gradient and things aren't black and white. who knew! personally my woodworking shop is too dusty to leave everything out, so I take the machinist approach and put everything in drawers. it's great, but you have to label things and not treat a drawer as a place to throw shit. that's when it all goes to hell

[@tiacho2893]

@@guitarchitectural I build guitars too. But I only use power tools for rough work and don't use a lot of sand paper or power sand. The fine dust just floats and settles everywhere. The big thing for me and drawers is that they should only be a bit deeper that the tools they are holding and machinist style tool boxes are best for this. I worked out of standard "handyman's" tool box/tote when I started and I cringe at the thought of sharp edge tools banging around in a deep drawer. Even then, I used a leather tool roll for my few carving tools/chisels and hand planes/measure and marking tools went into custom wooden boxes.

[@dave20874]

I'm loving all the shop infrastructure and organization vids. They are probably helping me more than any other technique you could show me.

[@treymoore6901]

Someone has probably already mentioned it, but floating bottoms are only useful when the bottom panel is made of real wood, which must expand and contract due to humidity changes. Plywood, however, is stable and does not suffer from wood movement. In Adam’s case here, it would actually be more useful to glue the bottoms in. Then, the added strength would greatly increase the durability of the drawer.

[@AndrewFrink]

not only that but if the bottom were over wide, it could be used as the runner.

[@DaveTpletsch]

I love these Shop Infrastructure one day builds. I was taught that if you needed a solution to a problem you just buy the best thing you can find. That never sat well with me, people who know what they're doing fix their own stuff and build their own shops and make what they need. It took me a very long time to build up the skills to be less of a consumer and more of a maker because the information and training just wasn't available to me without some serious time and effort. Now I have a firm moral policy of never buying what I can make, and never settling for a half assed commercial solution to a specific problem. I love that Adam is making it clear in all these videos that you don't have to pay someone else to take care of your stuff, and you don't have to settle for crappy storage solutions when you can design and build exactly what you need, often for a lower cost or maybe even with what you have on hand. Thank you Adam.

[@miahi123]

At 14:03 you did not nail the last corner (back right of the first 2" drawer) - when you added more nails to the stapler you switched the corner and nailed the corner that was already fixed.

[@Craftlngo]

the use of nails is more of an intuitive action than design decision

[@richny13]

Now he has 1 corner with about 8 nails in it.

[@ianrigby7395]

Not being a maker, these videos are fascinating to me. From technique to material to terminology. I especially like how Adam refers to catching yourself with a tool as "being bit/bitten" and I suppose all those tools are like animals you need to treat with respect or they'll teach you to!

Adam, if I might suggest using P-Touch labels next time instead of a paint marker to label drawers. It allows easy re-organization and relabeling without repainting. One other suggestion is that you might want to fasten the tool drawer cabinet to the lower unit so one handed opening and closing is easier.

[@RobertJones]

I thought You were going to make the runners longer so you could pull the drawers all the way out without them falling? Did I miss the part where you changed your mind?

Adam, Beeswax or paraffin wax on those drawer slides will do wonders to make them move better. My Uncle, a master carpenter/cabinet maker (50 years) taught me that.

[@VcrThunder]

I love these and it came out great. a little tip is to put a weight in the bottom as to not disturb the balance when having several or heavy drawers open. that will make it more stable and keep it from falling over as the center of gravity is lower.

Paste wax on the drawer runners will help them glide easier. Also if you're working with plywood it's fine to glue in the drawer bottom, maybe even preferable. You'll get a lot more strength and it will help to keep the drawer square.

Adam, I really like your approach of drawers first. As someone just getting into woodworking, I'm perplexed how a lot of DIY channels showing drawer construction just gloss over the finer details. All I'm thinking is "Ok what if it's too narrow, or too wide, or what if I didn't quite measure the rails correctly. Anyways I was already thinking about a "drawer first" approach, because this is the one way you can ensure no matter what your drawers are going to fit. As long as all your drawers are the same size, then you build the cabinet around that, and you are good to go. However, so far you're the only person whom I've seen take this approach. Good job.

Hi Adam! Great build! And you’re right, organization is always time well spent! Sorry in advance for the length of this, but I learned a lesson the hard way, and my penance for doing so is that I’m required to share. 😉 I once used a small piece of soft chamois leather to protect the lever on my Winchester 9422 from the zipper on its case. Little did I realize that the leather not only can attract moisture if your storage location tends to be at all humid (think southeastern Virginia!), but the material is often (or maybe always?) tanned using one type of acid or another. This may not be a factor for you at all, but as I said, the Universe requires me to say something when I see something...

26:45 The excited happy dancing actually made me lol! 🤣 (because I know that feeling) 31:40 DAAAAAAAMNN!!! Son! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Yeah, I know know that feeling too) On a personal note Adam: I LOVE that you’re a Toyota guy. I’m on my 4th Toyota ever owned. I’m currently on my 3rd 4Runner. They’re just amazing! I was also a tournament pool player. I swear, I bet we’d get along. Lol!

"Bobby is a master furniture maker, master carpenter and ...*nail gun noises*" and What??!

[@Azzameen99AZ]

Master nail-gunner?

[@talyrath]

Jagen Ordo Would that be a nail marksman?

[@ozziejim8472]

I think he said ‘bullshit artist’......

[@Azzameen99AZ]

@@talyrath I think you're right.

[@TobyMaddern]

"Bobby is a master furniture maker actually, master carpenter. All sorts of [stuff?]"

[@dysartes]

Adam: "I've got a bin of boring bars..." Me: "Do you have any interesting bars?"

[@HazeAero]

So cool to see the state of flow you get in. Your movements, your speech.. we all know that state and its great to see someone tap into with such joy and ease.

[@keithbrown2458]

Another build well done sir and I enjoyed watching you do it you’re so passionate about your bills it gets me excited makes me wanna build something and sometimes I often do

[@loxdhen]

Today I heard Adam Savage say "Wake up sheeple" I can die happy

[@BROON71]

26:43 The Adam Savage Celebratory Dance!

[@jovsjoezvsohms8083]

That happy dance made me smile!

"Getting better is screwing up less" Very true in every aspect of life.

[@1badpete999]

I studied making antique reproduction furniture at one point of my life just for the fun of it as a radical DIY , and I have found that rubbing candle wax in the drawer slides help a lot making smooth slides almost like bearing would do ! I like your video a lot,when my wife bugs me that I have to many tools in my small basement I show her your shop video tour then after she stops bugging me for a while lol !

"I think I'm going to start with some sketching." .... got me wondering what happens with the sketchbooks once they're full?

[@lolzlarkin3059]

Next weeks one day build. I need a storage rack for my many many sketchbooks..

[@NightRavenGSA01]

Two-hole punched and hung from a rack inside the drop-ceiling of the office

[@oscodains]

I believe Adam once said “Drawers are where things go to die.”

[@pepsiatlas5452]

thats where my uncle went

[@fabioandrade8476]

Don't spoil next week's odb.

[@InsomaniacFiles]

Sometimes, things need a place to die.

[@Glisern]

Badly made general drawers, yes. These are only fit for one thing deep, and meant for easy and clear organizing.

[@300DBenz]

He meant deep drawers where stuff gets stacked on top of other stuff, and looong drawers where you don’t get to the back.

[@JoQeZzZ]

Adam's handwriting is so satisfying. Can't explain, just is

[@DogDog173]

"Getting better is screwing up less". I love it!

[@Coloneljesus]

Slaps top of cabinet: "This baby can fit so many tools in it"

[@almostanengineer]

The shop infrastructure projects are my favourite, I’m not much into the model making etc, more into the engineering and systems you do and use 😊

[@suddenpenguin]

the editing in these videos is top notch. it more than makes up for the one-person camerawork

[@JosheJade]

Love these videos of shop infra/improvements!
