Looking For Something To Build This Weekend?

I designed this one-day build for woodworking hobbyists like myself. It is light on material and hardware and can be built with a few basic tools within a day.
I focused on a simple assembly to eliminate the need for complex high-end tools.

the grain and colour of that timber is beautiful

[@Flippingdrawers]

Very cool project! 👌

[@jacquessolomon9315]

Loved that the call of the hadedas also made it to the final cut around 17:30 😊

[@pieterleroux4841]

Kiaat by far my favourite wood both aesthetically and to work with

[@StuartGeers]

The difference between laziness and efficiency is Results!

[@ShrednESP]

I like the sapwood grain match from the top to the drawer. Very nice looking build. Great job.

[@remoc52357]

Beautiful, beautiful wood.......

[@Mythtrekker610]

I have been playing with an idea of how to store my bike gear as well. Thanks for the idea!

[@TKcustomWoodworks]

Happy to see you’re well and bear to making videos

[@devinematt2544]

Bloody unreal mate - good job!

[@markforrestsm]

Loved the build Jean, thank you! Kiaat is one of my favorite timbers to use.. Regards, Mark

[@stuartkorte1642]

At beginning of video I was thinking about when you introduced us to the blank shell of your work shape. You’ve done an awesome transformation. Nice Moro gear rack too.

[@proveritate9312]

I love a super sharp chisel ! And your push to open is magic ! How about creating a bicycle chain on each side of the center post, the chain hidden of course, and you can put a bicycle small gear on the drawer or bedside cupboard so that you can decide the height. Then more drawers can be added, or just ride down. Hidden stoppers can be made. I see your grey matter moving ! By the way, your videos are special because my mind can almost smell the wood. Mm kiaat is too expensive for me. I'm a pensioner, but many ppl throw things away. Anyway, i enjoyed your video. My friends say i have a MacGyver mind. Lol Enjoy !

[@trentonlehman548]

Great video Jean.

[@jamessmithson4757]

Love the grain match on the front

[@ammarsmb1739]

Amazing wood work

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Very nice looking work 🔨👍😊

[@billboy7390]

Very nice, I think I’ll use the idea for the floating shelf drawer as bedside tables. I’m in a wheelchair and am always backing into my side table. I could incorporate charging for my phone and earbuds/phones along with a lamp. I have a lot of 20+ year old, old growth Honduras mahogany.

[@rolandgdean]

Great video. SO AWESOME to see a wood PROJECT video! We finally get to see you use the amazing shop you've created and I look forward to seeing more project videos that you're going to put out just now. I LOVE the wood you used and I wonder how it scores on the Janka scale. I really like working with African woods like Sapele and African Mahogany...they are hard, easy to work, and have a great chatoyance once lacquered.I have a Curly Sapele box here on my KZbin channel that I just love. Anyway, good to see you again and I look forward to more projects from you.

[@MarshallLoveday]

Great project!

[@chipgillespierealtor]

This is a pretty cool project. I think next we need a quick vid about your bike. :)

[@WoodshopJunkies]

If I could do a woodworking project about it I would in a heartbeat.

[@chipgillespierealtor]

@@WoodshopJunkies Ah, I think we would all enjoy a "day in the life" type video on here...

[@alphamaximus429]

Great video!

[@antsteradams]

nice design. easily adapted... cheers

[@cusernamed]

As always, your attention to detail is inspiring and edifying.

[@andreamakesthings851]

Oh, that Kiaat is gorgeous! My friend from Namibia has a table she brought to Australia made from it, and I've always wanted to work with it.

[@PrimalEdge]

great build! I love the design.

[@dougggiereid]

Great project. Love the Kiaat

[@patrickmaher9270]

Thanks! Love you're videos keep up the good work.

[@WoodshopJunkies]

I'll do my best. Thanks for the support!

[@johncawkwell7995]

I've never used Kiaat but have seen some really beautifully figured boards online here in the UK so might have to check it out for special projects in the future. Love the design too; minimal, modern, and the push to open feature I think could be fun for shop furniture too so less risk of catching clothing etc when moving around a small shop.

[@nealpaddock]

A beautiful piece of wood. The colour range adds a lot.

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Nicely done.

[@stevecimo]

Thanks!

[@WoodshopJunkies]

And thank you!

[@Toyotajunkie]

Great use of a small amount of wood and some fairly basic skills! Thanks for the time!

[@davidtolmay5825]

Looks great man! Love the use of the kiaat, It's my favorite wood aswell dont see much of it, if any this side of the world.

[@carlosc.8707]

Very good job, simple to do, good design and very practical. Congratulations

[@morganwyatt5953]

It's been a while since I've commented here. You're still making the best projects on KZbin! I also have that dowel jig for my drill. Very convenient

[@siobhanvanderlinde5401]

That looks great! I like the minimalistic design and respect for the beautiful wood!

[@bullwinkle69]

Thanks

[@WoodshopJunkies]

Thank you!

[@j_b_9381]

Well done on planning ahead enough to match the sap wood of the drawer front with the sap wood of the floating top. It's a nice detail that many fail to consider in advance

[@expatmousse5196]

That’s a super piece of wood there, made a nice storage with it too, lovely 👍🏻

[@scottmorris4914]

Good video, I like the smaller and simpler project, work full time job.

[@kevinnobody3052]

Nice project design. Thanks man. 👍

[@stenalbertsen2440]

Your doing great work and useful ideas, so thank you very much for sharing. 👍🇳🇿

[@buildingwithbryan]

Nice work Jean, I love the wood that you used, some nice grain patterns, keep up the good work.

[@steyn1263]

Lekker soos altyd - love it. Would probably rather go for a French Cleat type mounting mechanism - I find those are easier to put up and align.

[@patrickdingman1521]

Terrific project! I just might give that a shot this weekend. I've never seen that species of wood before. It's incredible! Cheers 🇺🇲

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Jean! Fantastic idea! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@PaleRider559]

That is some really cool wood :)

How straight is Makitas table saw fence, what adjustments did you make?

Yeah

You might not think it's that strong of a joint, but watch Bourbon Months latest video on joint strengths!

KZbin doesn’t notify me when you post videos 😠 so annoying. I’ve missed a few of your videos. Need to catch up 😉

[@OVHabitats]

I love your videos and your engineering genius. I have about six feet approximately 1.8 meters by 18 feet approximately 5.5 meters of a 2 car garage for my woodworking tools, I need a fold up work table that I can put my miter saw and my 12 inch (30.5 cm) drill press on. I am stumped and could use your help, How is that for a project?

[@WoodshopJunkies]

I am building a new bench soon. It will have a custom miter stand. Maybe you could get some ideas.

[@rianwhitby3480]

Did you have to swap what originally looked like soft close slides to what looked like standard slides after installing the push to open mechanism?

[@WoodshopJunkies]

It is regular slides. I simply trimmed the rubbers at the back of the slides.

[@Vince23322]

Where do you buy that wood?

[@WoodshopJunkies]

Locally. M and A Timbers

[@Vince23322]

Thank you👌

Why not just use your router for your rabbits. Then you wouldn’t have to chisel either.

this a rip off I ordered plans week ago still nothing.
