Making Jimmy’s Tool Box

[@jimmydiresta]

I was smiling the entire time!! loved the line you said .. "I make stuff so precise if the last part fails I have no project" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love and respect!!

[@kenethsoberano]

Frank took the your own "spin" on it challenge literally.

[@SpartanMJO12]

I'd like to say the same about my precision... I think my problem lies more in my lack of skills than in my set of skills though 🥲

[@garcj108]

hahaha i love that too, i do the same thing EVERY time! hahaha

[@Nissimus]

@@frankmakes Amen ! Incredible work! Only thing I wonder about is - because the shaft for the gear extrudes "into" the bottom of the box - won't it make the objects laying in it move around ?

[@ericlyons6251]

[@Daniel2010Portfolio]

@@Nissimus my impression is the shafts sit below the drawer (and not thru the storage section) so it should be fine noh?

Your CNC tips are so incredibly helpful! Thank you!!

[@kawawunga]

Perhaps I am picking up more of your tips and tricks of the CNC machine and you've always done it, but I appreciate you taking the time to explain the importance of the tolerances between the rough pass and finishing pass, as well as showing how to deal with the end chips when cutting the pins! Great video as always, I always learn something!

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

I smiled at your explanation of excellence at the end about precision. It's the thought process of a great thinker. Great job!!

Frank, love your stuff. That was one bit hen build. Thanks for taking Jimmy’s challenge, I think you out did yourself and took it to the next level. Thanks for doing what you do

[@tomyost481]

I don't think I deserve to think that I can give you an idea. Your engineering skills have fascinated us for years. My son and I have a 4x4 CNC table. Our projects often are larger than 4x4. We drill an index hole at some point then when we move the large sheet we re-zero to that hole. When your drawer slipped having an index hole or two might help realign your piece. I humbly submit my comment. We love your videos.

[@bombaydan]

Absolutely fantastic Frank…..genius at work 👍🇬🇧

[@OriginalMomo]

A very interesting adaptation to someone else’s design. I like it. Very cool.

[@MichaelNatrin]

Really creative twist on the Diresta build. Great video!

[@piledriver141]

Frank you can CRUSH this little job

[@jcortese3300]

There should be a way to use the wood grain as a visual "fingerprint," mount a camera on the ceiling or the CNC gantry itself, take an image of the wood grain at three points, and then if you take the piece off and put it back on the table, the camera can find those reference points and adjust the gantry's coordinates to allow for any changes. That's more a coding issue though, something more appropriate for Stuff Made Here.

[@fleetswoodshop3339]

[@deyangeorgiev]

Love the box. Maybe putting some covers on the inside gears to protect them from screws and other small parts that would inevitably land in the tote might help

[@philsdownloads810]

Great job. You make it look so easy, a master craftsman at work.

[@JeremiahL]

I love this channel, I subscribed to hundreds, but any time I see a Frank Howarth video pop up, I wait... I wait for the muse... I wait until I am in a state of relaxation, where I can sit down uninterrupted, and enjoy the entirety of it from start to finish... An immediately after, I scurry out to my shop, and plan my next ambition. Thanks for being and inspiration and a mentor..

[@sgsax]

Always something to get the gears turning. Fun take on the classic tool tote, and definitely has your fingerprints on it. Thanks for sharing!

[@MLFranklin]

That is really cool. Now everyone has a real reason to get a CNC router. To be like Frank. Sometimes tool technology comes along before the project design innovation has caught up. With this box, design innovation has now put the ball back in the CNC maker's court. Well done!

[@mikepetersen2927]

[@andrewmullen4003]

Franktastic, nice job, really cool gear

[@jpsimon206]

I'm very interested in linguistics and always jump at the opportunity to learn industry jargon. I have been a machinist for a long time yet these terms precise definitions were new to me until I was recently enlightened by a viewer on another video. On the off chance that you have the same interest, I'm going to share what I learned. A gear by definition, transfers force by use of its teeth. A rack is just an infinite gear. The consideration of using dowels sort of like DaVinci's gears, would technically be cogs. Apparently, a cog by definition transfers force by use of the spokes. It is irrelevant to the definition if the spokes are on the circumference or at 90° to the circumference. There is also such thing as a cog rack. If you can imagine for example machine chain being used as the track for sprockets to walk along it, that would be an example of a cog rack. Maybe this is meaningless pedantics to you, but I was very happy to learn the information so I decided to pass it along

[@bfayer]

Your projects with mechanisms always make the best videos! I like hearing about your lessons learned too, makes me feel like I learned something as well.

[@patwicker1358]

Frank, you are having way too much fun with that CNC :-)

[@plainbrad]

So cool. I also look forward to catching glimpses of this in future videos when a glue-up happens.

[@4dthinker582]

Nicely done Frank! Next time you are cutting tenons (pins) in the endgrain of a board use a clockwise profile with an upcut spiral around the perimeter of the board. Center the bit ON the vector outline of the board, or slightly farther out if you have a narrow shoulder. This will leave a clean shoulder with no tearout. All following cuts around the tenon(s) can tearout but will be clean when down to the shoulder. 4D

[@frankmakes]

I was wondering if an up cutting bit would be better. My test piece, that I did not show in the video, got shredded. I was using a 1/2" down cutting bit.

[@4dthinker582]

@@frankmakes I use 1/4" diameter spiral upcut bits unless the tenons are longer than the 1" cutting edge. I do the outer clockwise profile to make the shoulder then can usually follow up with profile cuts around the tenons. If there is more shoulder to cut down to I create pockets around that area then cut it. I also usually leave -.003 allowance between the tenons (smaller) or the mortises (larger) they fit in. Same vectors outlines for each just copied to the mortise job. Usually that gives a good slip fit with room for glue if my bits are the diameter they claim to be. 4D

[@dillonpapa]

Since your using the tote for glue up items, I would be worried that glue might drip on the interior dowels and gum up the works. Maybe a false bottom or covers for the dowels would be a good idea.

[@dstockbridge1]

Bonus idea - make that false bottom out of ptfe sheet. Then the glue wouldn’t stick at all, and could just be dumped/wiped out when it dries

[@frankmakes]

I was just filling it with glue paraphernalia and was wondering about a piece on the bottom to cover the dowers but also to hold things like, brushes, roll of tape the glue bottle....

[@jmack423]

Awesome project! Love all your work and creativity. Can you please tell me the paint sprayer you are using at the end to apply finish. It looks simple and easy.

[@dstockbridge1]

Hi Frank! Could you make it so that when you lift the handle, it pulls the gears to close the drawer? So you could just pick it straight up by the handle and the drawer would close

[@OriginalRaveParty]

Your videos have a super chilled vibe, and I really appreciate the teaching. Subbed :)

[@robertwilliam2409]

Suggest that you replace the small actuating gear with a lever that is offset to be close to the side of the tool box and pull to open on whichever side you pull the lever. Straight up would be closed. Looks like it would work with the reduction you already designed in.

[@FranksDIY]

Wow amazing . Wondering how it would go without using a cnc . Remember the old days lol

[@KevinPauba]

Well executed!

[@alainleblond4118]

Magnifique... Merci de Québec !

[@dragade101]

Love the movement of the bottom drawer! Now to finding a clever way to never eject the drawer unless you meaningfully want to disassemble the box. Maybe there is some room under the drawer as a cut out that some stops can be placed in V2. So there is a hidden pocket that drawer has with 2 different sets of stops. If you can hold off from installing one of the lengthwise panels until the drawer is seated, then the side can be added as one of the final steps.

[@larrybud]

New to your channel somehow... I love this style of presentation. Show the work, with voice over explaining what/why you're doing it. Good stuff, and your shop looks amazing. Love the natural light.

Did you think about doing a gear ration to where you could just do a quarter turn of the gear and the drawer comes out fully?
