Battle Of The Drawers: Can Cardboard Beat Wood?

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

I’ve always used a story stick but I like your method it’s similar and worthy I’ve a try cheers Sedge

[@sedgetool]

Give it a shot! Happy Woodworking !!!

[@tc9148]

Love your Sunday morning videos on drawers. I learn so much and save a link in my Notes app for every one. Can you post a drawing of your outstanding push stick?

[@sedgetool]

I will try!

[@ronniekotler9265]

Sedge, you Rock, at 77 years old I am still learning. Thanks for all your videos

[@sedgetool]

Keep on rocking!

[@Mike--K]

@ronniekotler9265, are you using "Rock" as a noun or a verb? 😀

[@Mike-dn4ju]

Really enjoying this series Sedge! Thanks for the shoutout on Live last week too. Like I said at Steve’s, really hope you do more like this.

[@sedgetool]

I hear you, more to come! Thanks Mike !!!

[@brokenleadwoodworks]

You make it make sense. Thank you!

[@sedgetool]

Glad I could help!

[@patbird9694]

Been saving lots of large boxes from amazon to do the same thing. Material prices are so expensive now good way to do your mock ups

[@sedgetool]

Smart move!

[@andrewbrown8148]

Love this series~! I'm building my First miter saw station, so this is great~!

[@sedgetool]

Awesome! Hope it helps!

[@jhutch9106]

I wish that I had thought of doing that when doing my miter stand sure would have saved a lot of time and trouble.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks....

[@sedgetool]

Wicked Sharp!

[@alanbliss6414]

Love this series, keep it up. What is the type and model of the table saw. Thanks.

@@sedgetool Thanks

[@Rob-df6py]

sedge this is perfect timing for me. i've got a hardwood panel ready to be cut up for drawer fronts. any tips on transferring the cardboard templates to the final cuts? (perhaps the next video?)

[@sedgetool]

Next video !!!

[@SeanRefsnider]

Great use of CAD (cardboard-aided design)!!

[@sedgetool]

Love It !!!

[@fixittony]

Excellent as usual!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks

I'n a sponge right now for everything drawer related so YT put your video in my list! I have a 'what would YOU do question (and welcome other commenters' views too!) regarding the overall width in this situation: On my Island, I have my cabinet box with 3/4" ends, then I have a finished shaker end panel which is another 3/4"; I'm debating myself as to whether I should make the drawer fronts with the reveal to cabinet box end, or to the end panel? So in essence the fronts will either have a 1/8" reveal to the end panel, or if to the cabinet box, would make it 3/4 + 1/8 to the end panel. If this was cabinet with drawer plus doors, it would HAVE to be the latter - but it's all drawers (like your video) then I have option.

[@bartholomewgreatpants3425]

Thats a good ass question.

[@sedgetool]

I would do them to the side of the cabinet...it is a personal preference.....

[@fixittony]

Where did you get the cardboard? Craft store, U-Haul?

[@sedgetool]

Plywood delivery cardboard

[@troypast3589]

Better the cabinet than little big horn.

[@sedgetool]

Great answer

[@Mike-dn4ju]

Side note: How many cases of Festool/Blackwings are you hoarding already? 😂

[@sedgetool]

3

[@davidjanis1997]

Huh?

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@johnnynephrite6147]

You lost me with the Milly meteors thingy. Can you do it in English next time?

[@sedgetool]

I will try....

[@bartholomewgreatpants3425]

I've been slowly converting to using mm when building cabinets, built ins etc, and it's not nearly as scary as you might think. In fact using imperial measurements while working within the 32mm framework is actually more difficult unless you're just gonna start rounding stuff. Fast cap has a tape measure that is imperial and metric. It's costs 10 bucks get one and figure it out. You're just making this stuff harder than it needs to be.

[@johnnynephrite6147]

@@sedgetool just joking. making fun of the metric illiterate. Way better system than imperial.

[@ogwoodworks]

This. Just use a metric tape measure and you don’t have to convert anything. There are good reasons why guys like Sedge and Jason Bent use metric for cabinet making. Why faff around with fractions when you can work with whole numbers?

[@johnnynephrite6147]

Metric is better than Imperial hands down. I just like to poke sarcasm at Imperialists.
