Hardware boxes that won't shift in a drawer!

[@corcoransullivan1562]

From a guy who's in the trades and who's father was too, you amaze me! Your skill, brains, creativity and hard work are incredible to see in a younger guy like yourself, let alone a life long carpenter. you're seriously a carpenter genius. thank you and keep up the awesome work.

[@cliffart7398]

Ditto. I was just showing a couple of your videos to my wife and she was very impressed with your genius as well.

[@MariusHornberger]

I really like that system. First I thought you were crazy making boxes for all/ most of the drawers with box joints.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Marius Hornberger Thanks! I'm not sure yet that I'm not crazy ;-)

[@Darren_Barclay]

@@Jer_Schmidt and am wondering did you do that for all the drawers lol. You are crazy but crazy good sometime and it is an amazing system.

[@zachthehunter]

This is an amazing idea. One idea. You don't really need to prevent the boxes from moving side to side. Just back and forth in the drawer. So you only really need rows of strips in the drawers, not squares.

[@azuritet3]

Yes, and if you wax them then you can make little train tracks.

[@rebeccamiller3248]

Positively genius! This idea is perfect not only for shop/work storage, but kitchen, bathroom, bed room and craft room. Thank you so much. Saw this n showed it to my brother he is refitting my craft room kitchen and jewelry drawer. Now I can dump plastic organizers that shift n crack or fall over and this will last much longer and be beautiful when finished. The kitchen it's organizing my cooking utensils, tea drawer. The added twist is it can be moved and refitted to new home just by leaving bottom grid free and refitting or remaking for new place. It also saves on packing time for stuff just leave it in boxes and pack it. All the grids are uniform. Just perfectly genius!

[@steveh8724]

This is the first of your videos I've come across, but now that I've seen your style and content, it certainly won't be the last! I greatly appreciate how clearly you explain and demonstrate your techniques. And your editing represents a very creative and effective way to use time-lapse to illustrate complete series of events without taking too much time. Well done sir!

[@PatonHaus]

That was an unbelievable amount of work, but you can't argue with the result. Excellent work!

[@JackmanWorks]

I've been bouncing ideas around like this in my head to install in a drawer or 2 in the miter saw station cabinet system. Thought to myself tonight that if I'm thinking about it then Schmidt probably is too or he's probably done it already. Well I scrolled back through your videos and here I am!

Watched the whole thing. Jer your videos keep getting more and more epic! Love the witty comments and moments in the video. Had me interested and laughing at the same time. I am not sure if you already have these, but you need some sponsors. People seriously need to be paying you, giving you their tools or a combination of both. Your editing ability is steadily increasing. Video content is second to none! Your demeanor is always awesome. Seriously good job sir!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+dutch971 Thank you so much!! I don't have any "sponsors", but I have had some free tools sent to me. I'm still waiting for a sponsor to reach out to me!

Hey that's awesome!! Haha well I hope some hurry the heck up and get in touch with you. You probably are already aware of these people, I am not sure. I don't want you to take this the wrong way or anything, I'm just trying to throw my two cents in. Jay Bates, April Wilkerson, Nick Ferry and others are successful here. These three all know each other and are a part of a woodworking community here on KZbin. They could be very informative or instrumental in helping you with sponsors. Jay is good at marketing himself and gaining sponsors with no so called "strings" attached. SawStop gave him that saw he uses. He has also obtained many other tools over the last year or so. April has many sponsors. Almost all of her tools in her shop were given to her. She has a lot. She is a woodworker, but Lincoln gave her a $1200 welder, so she made a video using it. She is also a Triton spokes person. They came to her to do an interview. Pretty awesome. Anyway this is getting long, sorry about that. I am sure all of those people would be more than happy to help you out in any way possible. I look forward to you becoming a KZbin master and surpassing them all!! As I have said in the past, you're on your way sir!!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+dutch971 Yes, I know about these people and their success, and I think I also understand some of their success. I'm just working to get to the status where this can start to be a success!

[@dutch971]

That's great! I hope you can make the most out of this KZbin channel. Jay and April really seem to have a good handle on sponsors and their websites. The level at which you are operating at is impressive to say the least! Your project quality are right up there with Andrew Klein and his twisted table or The Samurai Carpenter. Tell people to subscribe and like your videos. Seems pushy a little to me, but I think it works. Market that pen!! I need one. Sell plans. I'm really glad I got my hands on those incremental saw plans from you. I can't tell you how cool I think that is. Well, it's almost as cool as making your own pen!

[@WhatIsKenDoing]

Good idea. Tremendous amount of work though. An easier way to do this is a piece of peg board in the drawer with pins on the bottoms of the boxes.

[@daveklein2826]

we will look forward to your video on that

[@deanwoodward8026]

Another idea, recess the box bottoms into the sides, then just route/dado a grid with groves 2*box side width + fudge factor (call it 9/16 or 17/32 for 1/4" box walls) into the drawer bottom.

[@nicholashartzler2526]

Also reallyyyy only need to do them from left to right because the boxes only slide forward and back really lol.

[@caspar6135]

Nicholas Hartzler if you decide to rotate your units by 90 degrees and have them orientated differently then it wouldn't work, it just gives you the flexibility to change it later

[@Gr8Mr.E]

@Casper - it would still work. Nicholas is saying that the grid in the drawer only needs the catches from right to left in order to hold the boxes from sliding to the back and forth of the drawer. If you rotate the boxes 90 degrees it would still stop the boxes from sliding forward and backwards. The only thing it wouldn't stop is sliding the boxes from side to side in the drawer.

[@cesardaconceicao567]

Could have just glued in your first set of strips then raised your dado stack to cut the perpendicular grooves. Would have saved cutting and gluing all of those little pieces.

Hello Jeremy. A quick word to say that I find myself revisiting this particular video of yours with some frequency, as I continue to seek out ideas in this area. Your design remains, in my estimation, the best all round: in concept, build, aesthetics, utility, and overall results. My plan is to utilize your approach as i refine my small shop. I see you haven't put up any new videos for a while, so thought I'd reach out to say I hope you're doing well. You are an exceptionally clever and creative guy, with a rare facility for combining precise mechanics with artful design. I -- and a great many others -- look forward to seeing whatever else you choose to put your mind to in the future. Stay well. And, as I find myself saying to more and more people in these challenging times, don't be too hard on yourself. Here's to a better 2021.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks for the kind words! I haven’t officially quit KZbin, actually I should have a new video ready in about a month, but then it might be a long time til the next one again... As for the drawer boxes, I actually think there is a better design than this, if you happen to have a 3D printer. Even if you don’t, I’d still recommend watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ_XeKGCqtyim7s (and Alexandre’s other videos; he has some great designs) I particularly like how he made the grid V-shaped, so it self-aligns.

[@dngriffiths8105]

@@Jer_Schmidt Thanks, Jeremy. I wasn't familiar with Alexandre before. Agreed: his tweak of the v-grid is a small but helpful advance. As I'm not likely to invest in a 3D printer any time soon, I will be sticking to a plywood-based solution, conceding its inherent limitations. So I will continue to reference your solution as the basis for what I do, including playing with scale. I'll keep an eye for your upcoming video. Thanks again, and all the best.

[@suit1337]

wouldn't it be more practical to glue in the longer strips, then cut the grooves and glue in another set of long strips instead of fiddle in hunderds of little pieces?

[@transmitthis]

Indeed, was my first thought, after the first long strip glue up, just re cut the dadoes, and then you can pop in more long pieces for the cross. But I would probably do something with magnets or, or little pins that drop down into holes for the draws, if it bother me, even a grip mat would suffice. Not to take away from the vid though, as it was interesting

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+suit1337 Yes. I'm still annoyed I didn't think of such an obvious solution!

the concept is nice. However, what you consider unsafe - the push stick - I totally not agree with you on ;).

[@AlanFrance21]

...till you dado your knuckles.

[@AlanFrance21]

...just to add, NO machine tool is safe if your flesh gets within 3 inches of a moving blade - and I speak as a man who once plate-jointed 3 finger tips on '0' setting. Boy, did that iodine smart at the hospital!

[@LifeOnHoth]

You are right, - no machine tool is safe at that distance. I've used those dangerous push sticks for 20 years now. Not even close to a single incident during that time. All I say - it is not about what kind of push stick you use - it's about knowing what the machine tool does, how the wood react, being alert and concentrated at all times and not getting sloppy. If you treat the "helping tools" right, it doesn't matter if you use this or that kinda pushtool. It's just as easy / hard to get hurt on either one of them - it's about healthy respect for the machines. But of course - you should use what is comfortable for you, that's gonna be the safest. I don't say it's not safe to use a "proper" pushtool - I just say I don't agree that the stick (when treated right and with respect) is an unsafe option.

[@LifeOnHoth]

btw here on Hoth, we don't have dado stacks :P. Sometimes I could use a stack tho. Seems like an incredibly useful thing.

[@George-hl3qj]

If I only had your tools I could learn so many calculated precise cuts that are so hard for me to do. Dam it. Need a work shop as well.

[@RexusKing]

Why didn't you cut the grid in one direction, glue in the strips, cut the other direction (with strips), then cut the other direction and glue in the strips? That way you don't have to cut all those small sections.

[@RexusKing]

Well I guess it's just small differences in operation, same results. Really great designs on the detail, the grip and the grid!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Rexus King Someone else also suggested that and I'm so annoyed I didn't think of it!

[@JonSwendris]

You could probably even do away with the grid and just do a series of strips perpendicular to the drawer's direction. Great video by the way.

[@johnjackson9767]

This is incredibly satisfying. Like an inventory system.

[@bassguitarlover]

Couldn't have you done without an entire grid in the bottom of the drawer and only have cut rows of grooves? Since there is little to no side to side movement when you open a drawer, there shouldn't be any concern of the boxes moving in such a manner. It would lessen the build time and it may be convenient to shift things from side to side. I'm talking with nearly no carpentry skills though... so you can probably just ignore me.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Yes, but the thing is I want to maintain equal gaps between the boxes so there’s always clearance to put them back. And it looks better.

[@bassguitarlover]

@@Jer_Schmidt With the tiniest tolerances between the boxes in the drawer, you response does make sense. Thank you!

[@DIYTyler]

Really cool idea man! I understand you were using what you had, figure 1/4" ply with grooves in the drawer with Lego extensions on the boxes might save some time. Just thinking out loud for when I have to make all these cuts!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Tyler G Thanks! I used this method to try and achieve the level of accuracy the grid needs in order for the boxes to properly lock in, but if you can find another way to make it accurately that would be great!

[@BethKjos]

save yourself a ton of time the boxes will not shift side to side only front and back

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Ian Kjos They may shift side to side, causing some boxes to become pinched in between. That's why I did it both ways. Also, it wasn't a ton of time!

Hey Jeremy when you cut the grid in the base, only do one direction then glue in full length strips. Then cut the other direction and you can still glue in full strips.

Yep, I overlooked that option and a bunch of commenters have pointed it out. It would save a lot of time.

One thought I had whilst watching is that after you have cut the 1/16th grooves into the 1/8th ply, could you just glue the thin strips onto the bottom of the boxes? Instead of raising the grid you just cut and then lowering the bottom of the boxes? You've made a grid already in the bottom sheet - you could just put the strips on the boxes and call it done :) Otherwise, great idea.

Excellent idea. I wonder though if you could get by with just the rails parallel to the front of the drawer? You only really have front to back motion (motion in 1 dimension) so you don't need the side to side. Just a thought.

This was oddly satisfying to watch and the idea is genius! Okay, I would not have the patience or tools to make this, however, my OCD would pay someone to do this for me.

This is so much better than watching TV. Thanks

These are awesome - we have a big durham hardware cabinet which works great for our purposes. I've been trying to figure out other ways I could use this same system.

The problem now is that you will want to look the state of your boxes each time you close the drawer to see if they did not have moved :). Thanks for the tips, good video !!

Very well done video. Fantastic project and ideas. I wonder how many people noticed the pen and glasses for extra weight. I certainly enjoyed that. One thing I’m curious about (probably because I’m lazy) is how it would function if the strips in the drawer only went side to side instead of going both ways. Since the drawer only goes in and out that may keep them in place just as well. It just looked tedious to put in all those tiny pieces in between the long strips. I definitely mean this as a question or a curiosity not a criticism whatsoever. I am certainly no expert I just enjoy making things and learning things.

Thanks! The purpose of the strips is to keep the boxes far enough apart that you have room to put one back after removing it. Without the strips running front-to-back, you could end up with almost no clearance to put the box back. So it should work without them, but not quite as well. Also, this way they have nice even gaps everywhere which is more eye-pleasing ;-)

Great stuff as always. That table saw fence is really nice.

+Dieter Schneider Thanks!

[@Woodwille]

Great Idea. Your drawer system (specially with this "upgrade") is an inspiration for my workshop. Thanks.

I was bored so I watched this video. pleasantly surprised at how entertained I was. great video.

[@dondiezel]

I saw another maker who put a little lip on the boxes to serve as label and a mini handle for lifting the boxes out.

[@TheHandystanley]

Would like to see how you did the box joints again in more detail. Certainly loved your video!!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Stanley Pearse Thanks! You could check out this (old) video, where I was cutting box joints in a similar way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXvJhmSLrL5mjJI

[@TheHandystanley]

Think a detailed video on box joints may be in order...thanks!

[@kale.online]

Love the saw edits. Keeps these style of videos extremely watchable

+Kyle Ross Thanks!

[@messylaura]

thats a great idea indeed, i'm wondering if a hole (dimple) and peg system would be slightly less work (gluing all those shorties)
