[@JusBidniss]

Nice cabinet! With the price of plywood these days, OSB has become a more acceptable material for shop use. Some of the normal plywood options when I was young are almost considered furniture-grade these days. That said, I agree with your narration that the crosscut at 2:51 is unsafe, and best done on the table saw with the miter gauge or a sled, or with another tool such as a circular saw. While the part between the fence and blade is longer than it is wide, a factor that would normally make it a safe cut, the part hanging off to your left makes it hard to control due to its greater leverage making it hard to keep both the front and the back of the piece in contact with the fence, and it is therefore easy to turn it slightly, wedge it between the fence and the blade and kick that long piece back into your belly. A table saw newbie may get a bad idea of how to use the table saw from this example.

[@garenne0169]

nice work and versatile cabinet. I agree with you, you'll must change the casters soon if you want to put all your tools in !!! :-)

Nice looking shop project. I am doing a video series on doing a whole wall with a miter saw station using only OSB. if I may, I am of the opinion that pocket holes are stronger than screwing into OSB plywood edge grain. Have enjoyed your channel for a long time. keep up the great videos.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. To be honest I am not a big fun of pocket holes. I think the pilot holes help a lot.

A wood dowel across the screw line provides a stronger fixing without splitting the board. The screw bites into the dowel. You can also use furniture bolts and dowel nuts.

[@scott1564]

You did a really nice job here! I might follow this design myself. However, there are a few comments I would make for others looking to build something like this. First, unless you just have to go cheap, use plywood. I personally think OSB is crap but even if you don't, at best, it is only tolerable. Plywood is so much better and for something that you think will last, you'll thank yourself later. Second, I don't think you'll need screws on the edge joints unless you must work with them prior to the glue drying. A good glue will do the trick fine. Third, I's strongly recommend going with bigger and better casters. I've got a rolling cabinet I built that's smaller than this but with bigger casters that I wish I had put bigger casters on. Finally, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use push sticks when working anywhere near the table saw blade. Use something anytime your hand is between you and the blade, between the blade and the fence, and at least 6" to the outside of the blade. You WILL have an accident if you don't..

[@vasiapupkin6446]

No, not at all. OSB is no any worse than plywood for such purposes, but an order of magnitude cheaper. You only have to protect it from moisture from the edges and design it the way that edge joints are not just screws. I would just put some lacquer on freshly cut edges or paint all that entirely with some acrylic. Look at IKEA stuff: it is literally all done from particle boards, which is way weaker than the OSB. They are just using more clever joints and dowels, that's why it lasts better. On top of that, plywood also swells on edges, just like OSB, if it gets wet. The only why I would use plywood here is that OSB looks damn ugly. But for workshop cabinets to hold tools and be constantly covered with dust - there is no need to invest really a lot of money into a plywood. It is very expensive in EU: a sheet of OSB costs 17-20 EUR now, while the same sheet of plywood will cost you about 150-200 EUR. If you are talking about construction plywood (three-four layers for 22mm sheet, same application as OSB), then it is even worse, because it is not just ugly as OSB, but also weaker, is often crooked and still as thrice as expensive. That is why it is quite hard to find it here, since nobody wants to buy it.

[@jagjitsingh816]

Very very nice ❤❤❤

[@RoseWoodWork]

I like it!!! Looks very big though, I guess you have tons of new tools and things to organize. My space is much smaller than yours and I'm running out of ideas to keep everything organize...uh well...one day we will have a bigger space. Great job!!! :D

[@ScrapwoodCity]

[@gerrys4822]

Will make one of REAL (solid). Hinge part was useful to me. Everything else I will improve on. No glue. No particle board. No wooden lock etc. But it's good for some folks I reckon.

Hello, very nice job😄I have tried to diy a cabinet and put in my home but always feel smell bad, it shoud be did by kind of MDI glue, could you tell me how do you slove this, thank you.

[@HM13.]

Tried routing my OSB but its chips and particles makes the edge less clean cut. Any way to do this? I tried rubbing glue into the gaps to filled up any voids and it works abit better

[@ScrapwoodCity]

To be honest I don't know! It's kind of difficult to get super clean results with OSB! Perhaps you could try out blue masking tape, although I am not sure it would work with routing!

Πολύ βοηθητικό το βίντεο. Θέλω να φτιάξω κάτι αντίστοιχο για ντουλάπα μπάνιου που θα κλείνει μέσα το πλυντήριο, αλλά θα έχει και ράφια αποθήκευσης από πάνω. Δεν θέλω όμως να έχω αυτό το κόλπο κλεισίματος, αλλά να λειτουργούν τα φύλλα ως ντουλάπια. Πώς τα κλείνω σε τέτοια περίπτωση; Και δεύτερο ερώτημα, είναι καλή ιδέα να βάλω πάτο στη ντουλάπα όπου θα πατάει το πλυντήριο; Θα βοηθάει στη στατικότητα του επίπλου ή να το αφήσω άπατο όπως το έπιπλο στο παρακάτω λινκ; Δεν θα βάλω ροδάκια εννοείται σε καμία από τις δύο περιπτώσεις. www.ikea.gr/en/products/bathroom/bathroom-storage/bathroom-high-cabinets/lillangen-cabinet-for-washing-machine/00206096/

Κατ'αρχάς ευχαριστώ για τα καλά λόγια. Μπορείς να βάλεις μαγνήτες στα φυλλά και να κλείνουν όπως έχουν κάποιες ντουλάπες. Ο πάτος εννοείται ότι βοηθά στη στατικότητα αλλά το θέμα είναι ότι πλυντήριο πρέπει να είναι σε στέρεο έδαφος και τέλεια ισσοροπημένο. Αλλιώς όταν στίβει θα τρέμει όλο το ντουλάπι. Επίσης είναι πολύ βαρύ και δε νομίζω να το αντέξει το ράφι. Συμφωνώ με το σχέδιο του ΙΚΕΑ.
