In this video I am making a cabinet to store drill bits in. This first part of the video deals with the drawers and part two will show the making of the outer case (to be released in the future). The idea with this was to get rid of all the different plastic cases and have everything organised neatly and easily accessible in one place. As I said in the video I am not an experienced woodworker, this is for entertainment/ideas only and not intended as instruction.

Not sure how I missed this when you first published it - it's absolutely gorgeous and is going on my list of inspirational videos to watch time and again. Rest assured I'm now paying a heck of a lot more attention to my notifications so I won't miss the making of the case.

Amazing craftsmanship. You are an inspiration to me with your intense scrutiny of the smallest details. Perfectly executing ( to the best of ones ability) all those tiny details is what makes an end product you can be proud of. Well done sir.

Ian, I think you are too hard on yourself. Your dovetails were nice and tight, better than a lot of other 'woodworkers' online. This kind of project is completely different from a sellable leather piece. The priorities are different. First of all, these drawers must be functional. You nailed it. Then you figure out the construction and since it is a 'workshop piece' finish is usually last. Your use of chisels, planes and the router plane show you know what you need to. I am so impressed with these drawers. They might outlast all of us. I think they look great. If they work well for you, then it has been a complete success. I learned how to do brass stamping from this video. Thank you.

Just a quick thing, if you fix your router base to a thin stiff board, push a router bit through it, turn the board over , with straight edges clamped it would make a suitable temporary router table

I do have one like that I made but what I needed really was a little sled type thing to make the slots for the dividers and you can’t do that with it. It only works for doing things length ways

Please be careful with putting your fingers in front of the chisel. Use a vise or clamp to hold the work instead. Also, you can use a piece of paper or playing card, etc. between the router and your guide to make a slot bigger for plywood that is a little too thick. Excellent cabinet so far.

@@Leodis.Leather He wouldn't mind at all. Paul is mainly a hand tool woodworker but he isn't a snob about power tools and even uses a few himself occasionally to save time. I remember his video about setting up his new bandsaw. It seemed to offend a few people judging by the comments but hand tool use is a personal choice not a religion and Paul is mature enough to accept that. Some people aren't but they are best ignored.

Not sure it would be easier with router table. If you have a hand router (you might be able to take the plunge base off and use it like Makita) but a dado jig from Axminster would do the job perfectly.

Great work! This is very relevant to me as I am planning and building tool storage at the moment. Mine needs to be very different as it is going on a wall, but the approach to planning you used really taught me something I can use, thank you! Is one of those drawers empty for future expansion? I am planning to make some blank configurable storage in my set, so it can keep up in future.
