Machinist Tilting Drop-Down Drawer Tool Chest Made From Scrap

[@СергейМельников-ц3е]

I especially liked the high-speed disassembly of the chest of drawers.

[@ianoliver3879]

I especially liked the shooting and editing. But the narration was even more brilliant.

[@СергейМельников-ц3е]

@@ianoliver3879 yes, that too. the roller is good, as are the manufactured boxes. the drawers are great, but the fall of the unfortunate chest of drawers is already something... I even wonder why he angered the venerable master so much

[@Scruffywelder]

Aye, someone's been takikg presenting tips from Torbjörn Åhman 😉😂

[@thesehandsart]

His grin afterwards lol

[@petergamache5368]

"Must be from IKEA..."

[@TheSadButMadLad]

The demonstration of how the drawers worked was key to explaining all the weird cuts and shapes. Really explained it well. Pictures are worth a thousands words, but a video is worth thousands of pictures.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks for the comments :)

[@jaswats9645]

True! A video IS a thousand pictures!

[@daveturnbull7221]

I spent a couple of days trying to work out how the tilt would work, coming up with all sorts of wierd ideas that didn't work. I spat coffee everywhere when that demo section of the video played - so wonderfully simple yet efficient.

[@acleray]

Dragging that chest along the floor, i thought, "he should put some wheels on that", Then I paused the video to take a closer look and changed my mind. A "sledgehammer would be ideal !" I did not expect what happened next. The whole thing fell apart. What a great piece of theatre, how you arranged for the whole thing to fall apart on the tiny tap of a hammer beats me. Great video. Once again you are living up to your channel name, you are truly Epic. I love it.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Ray :)

[@mjremy2605]

0:32 - That's like hitting the juke box in the sweet spot and it played your tune instantly! Ha ha ha! You are trying not to smile, Jason, but we see it! This box is so elegant in its simplicity and so well conceived, it is easy to miss the mastery behind it. Such a beautifully simple solution to the tilting drawer with no special hardware. I am marveling at the elegance of the solution. I love it! It looks fabulous, and so very useful. French cleat in the back, very nice. The felt matches the handle colors. The handles are just right, not too dark, very pleasing color scheme. The way you demonstrated the drawer mechanism for tilting was genius.

[@UrOnlyWarning]

What I love about your channel so far is that it's perfect for those like me who learn by watching. Not filled with mindless distraction and conversation. Your works are amazing, and THANK YOU for sharing. INSPIRED Oh not to mention for those of us that aren't KZbinrs it's great to watch work that I can actually afford to make and not hours of just watching the rich ppl build ideas with thousands of dollars worth of tools I can't afford. So end up trying to figure out what I can make with the items I can buy. Those 3,000.00 dollar slabs of wood will never be available to me.

One of the most satisfying feelings in the world is when you take a slab of dumpster-wood and cut/plane it, revealing the fresh wood underneath. Love your builds! Can't help pick up a few old-army tricks whenever I see one of your videos.

[@mexlemax3307]

Yes look there, now you've made something so beautiful out of an old IKEA box. The way you did it with the drawers sliding and folding down is a great idea. I also really like the fact that you painted it red. Red is my favorite color. Many thanks for showing it.

[@leobrent7926]

Beautiful! And I really enjoyed that disassembly scene with the little tap of the hammer. It was hilarious!

Good luck with your project.

[@Cncguru-wl9hn]

@@andrewkennedy9704 cheers! I decided to invest in a thickness planer this year as currently the price of timber in the UK is ridiculously expensive and our work scraps a lot of pallets so I’m just breaking them down and using that wood instead.

[@andrewkennedy9704]

@@Cncguru-wl9hn if youre planning on doing more pallet projects look into a pallet buster. They make breaking down the pallets much easier.

My Dad would have really enjoyed watching you work, He was a machinist by trade and also was meticulous when constructing a project.

My late domestic partner would’ve loved these videos, too. He was a retired cabinet maker, and he would’ve been interested in the hardware you’ve made.

[@philippkowalski1105]

besides the funny beginning (which was unexpected and hillarious) just another piece of art from you. The quietness with which you build these pieces is not only inspiring but also relaxing. This channel has raised the quality of how woodworking videos on KZbin should look like by several magnitudes

Tilting drawer mechanism ... brilliant

[@jesper1406]

Thousands upon thousands of these pine wood cupboards and bookshelves were sold in the 80ties and 90ties. Today they are filling the dumps, because fashion has changed. It's great to see at least a few being used for something good. And as always, your wood working skills are beyond and above anyone else...

[@jzrgrmm]

Some people would put dovetails in this whole drawer just to show up, but at the end of the day those nails did the same job. People often forget that being a pro is not just knowing the techniques, but when to use them. Very enjoyable video, as always.

Great build. I want to put pull-out/tilt down drawers in the bottom of my kitchen cabinets for spices, knives, and other culinary implements. If room allows, I may dedicate one drawer to basic hand tools to cut down on the trips to the basement every time I need a screwdriver, pliers, etc.

You have an inventor's brain. Loved this project from 'demolition' theatre to plane cam to non-slip lining the drawers. Brilliant. Thanks very much.

[@BobBlarneystone]

This will be excellent for carving knives. I can suggest a possible improvement. When I made heayduty drawers for a big tool chest, I cut the slides as french cleats. This method keeps drawers from cocking and jamming, and actually keeps the walls of the carcass from bowing too. Oak makes a durable slide and when waxed the drawers slide easily.

I like the tilt-down feature, it makes drawers placed at this height useful. A nice way to keep the lathe accessories clean, organized, and easy to reach. Savage choice of color! although Grizzly green would have tied it together nicely.

[@mjremy2605]

No, on the contrary. A true artist must always break out of conventional habits. You are in a world of color and you deliberately barricade yourself within the confines of green - why? Try red, blue, yellow, metallic! Break out. That pop of red in his wood toned workshop is a beautiful touch. Perfect.
