Making This Screw Organizer - 30 Drawers 120 Compartments

[@Metalloys]

The BESTTTT ever system for workshop drawers. Stackable, can make double height drawers, modular, super great !!!! Thanks John !

[@robertdiffin9136]

Great build. 1:30 - 1:50 I kept waiting for the red splatter to hit the camera. No doubt it was the body English I kept applying that kept you safe. I love the labels.

[@MrVito456]

I've been a sub since forever, and you know why? because of that :"where's the fun in that" phrase... your 'build your own' spirit keeps me checking in every time... every single time... thank you for being a builder John

i love that you don't edit the mistakes you make out of the video... it's very encouraging to us who are beginners, being able to see that even someone of your skill and experience can still make the occasional mistake. it's also very impressive to see that your shop is now almost fully populated with tools you've made yourself, like the tablesaw, router table, etc. you're amazing

John, I always enjoy your presentations

[@TonyBullard]

Gonna build something similar for my office. The way you use the bottom of the drawer as the slide and the handle is just simple brilliance. Thanks for the idea!

[@bradac56]

John, That cabinet looks great. Thanks so much for sharing all your builds with us again this year! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!

[@richardmugg2132]

Thanks for this. I need one too. I've seen a number of different versions on KZbin, but they all have one thing in common: lots of cutting and detail work. I like yours.

[@yrralyou]

VERY nice. I'm far too lazy to make drawers that way. I bought my wooden drawers at a flea market. I found and bought 3 old drawers that used to have newspaper type in them. They are about 36" x 16" x 1" tall. And each has about 100 divisions. So all I had to make was a cabinet with drawer slides to hold them. The drawers were $15 each, so I have about $65 in the whole thing, including the slides. And a couple of hours.

[@safelinefleet6633]

Nice build, similar to one I have. There is one another thing I did - I taped a sample of the screw to the front of the box to know what exactly is inside it. I did find this helpful and so did some of my assistants who aren't yet conversant with lettered sizes.

[@TKevinBlanc]

That little handle extension also serves as another horizontal surface onto which you can stack stuff. Like every other horizontal surface, no matter how small. Great job.

[@lobitome]

That is the biggest problem with ANY flat surface. It seems to beg for something else to placed there.

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

Great build. You have the patience of a saint and handle the repetition extremely well. Some day I would love to try to make something like this with my wife.

[@brainfornothing]

It's not only for fun : usually the plastic containers flex a lot when you hold them full of screws; these are much better. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays !

[@dannyflint4748]

Awesome video and brilliant channel watching your videos from the UK 👍👍

[@goldassayer93555]

John neat trick using teflon sheet to support the wood parts being glued.

[@joshuanorman4245]

I love that each drawer has multiple bins. That way if your working with a particular diameter of bolt you can pull out the drawer and have two lengths of bolts plus washers and nuts all in one convenient container

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Something every shop needs. Nice way to get things in order John.

[@GlynisDance]

Thank you, great organiser! Making rebates (rabbets) with a router was something I especially needed to see, given that we don't have dado saws in the UK :)

[@VitorMadeira]

One of your best videos ever. Thank you and greetings from Portugal.

[@calivalley9056]

Great video, I am one those guys who have a bunch of the plastic separating cases, but I hate plastic. This is great project.

[@kellybartok50]

Listen sir , I don’t know what you are trying to prove but you have one hell of an amazing clean cut table saw so you can’t be all that bad of a carpenter, ha ha ha real nice job I like to see good workmanship you have good taste when it comes to tools keep up the good work really I mean the idea behind that table saw says a lot about a person that’s if you made it you’re self thank you kindly for sharing :)

[@Kkuts37]

Hi John! I always think "why would I spend 10$ on a project, when I can make it for 50$!! You are right, because it's FUN!!!! Love your Videos. I'm a big fan. All the best to you in '19!

[@lobitome]

Also have to think about gas and wear & tear on the car to get said plastic bins, which will inevitably break and making you have to go out and buy more. Time is money. Without even thinking about how much your time is worth that you put in to building anything. What it comes down to is that you build what you need, not what a plastic bin constrains you to.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Very nice, John.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks Steve :)

[@LostWhits]

I've never seen that plywood before in Australia. But I actually like the look of the grain. As for the back side with the X Marks. Lends to the DIY aspects of shop furniture.

[@circularebin]

LostWhits ... The plywood is called “Sureply.” It’s used as an underlayment for vinyl flooring. All of the X’s, are recommended fastening points

[@craigallan7263]

I thought about doing something like this, once, for like 2 minutes, then realised the HUGE amount of work it would take, and then went and brought those cheap and nasty ones. Now I’m thinking again about it. Respect John, top job. Love your channel and your work!

[@SweSuf]

It's also very good practice, as it doesn't matter much if you screw something up a little. I made something (remotely) similar out of plywood and hardboard, and while not great it is very satisfying to pick items from your own storage solution.

[@llapmsp]

Very nice build, it looks like this will work for me quite well. Thanks for sharing.

[@benjaminrauschenbach6084]

What may get lost on people is the precision you achieved on this project using all tools and machines that you made. It’s seriously difficult to machine those box parts to that accuracy even with incredibly expensive tools. It’s a testament to your talents, experience, skill and passion. I love watching you make things. Keep sharing. Hopefully you’ll be able to get back to the table saw build soon. However, watching you use your second “temporary” saw so successfully, doubtful we’ll be seeing that build any time soon😢. Also, floor looks incredible btw. Merry Christmas John. I’m wishing you the very best in 2019. Your talents deserve to be celebrated and showcased.

[@JohnHeisz]

I'll be back to the table saw build shortly :)

[@Deificus]

Well said.

[@johnmcdonald9977]

Very time consuming, but the final cabinet is excellent! Exactly what I am looking for - thank you!

[@SendItBilly]

Nice build. Taking the long way was an understatement but it's solid and will last a lot longer than the plastic ones.

[@wingnutbert9685]

Nice project. I would say though, re: your suggestion on the plastic multi compartment organizers. I hate those things. The trays in them are never big enough and you either have to lug out a bunch of them or you take out the trays and as always happens, spill ur screws everywhere. My fav is go to the dollar store, grab a couple dozen packs of the cheap plastic food storage containers. The ones that are around 3x5"and 3" deep. They hold a good amount of fasteners, each have a secure fitting lids, and you can trans port just the ones you need in ur tools bag without spilling. I bought about 50 of them for screws, nuts and bolts, washer and all the misc bits. Plus extras if some get damaged. Cheap and fast. Just build a wall shelf with slots for each container. That way you don't have to dig through stacks of them, 2 or 3 deep in a cabinet. Can' build a portable case to hold a bunch of the containers to bring to job sites. The sealed lids are great to as they keep the dust from piling up in the containers. :) And using all the same size container makes things easier too.

[@philgray1023]

Good idea. I watched this and thought it looked good, but now I'm going to do a rack for those food storage containers. They have them half price every few months. I can replace the kitchen ones and repurpose our existing collection. I often have to put them in my tool bag to travel to a job.

[@guydupas4238]

Meilleurs voeux pour cette nouvelle année Guy.

[@Supersonicff-dw6bs]

Nice project idea! Here's a couple of efficientancy suggestion. 1) Before you cut each of the drawer bottoms from the larger sheet, run one edge (front) across router tab with a rabbit bit to make all of the pull slots in one operation (pass). 2) You could also use the same rabbit bit to cut the radius at the panel edges by centering the cutting down the cut line, before separating the side from the larger sheet. Just those two changes will save you quite a bit of time. Please buy yourself one of those gripper type push blocks to save your fingers/hand. A large number of repetitive operations like your doing in this video tend to breed complacency, which can easily result in an accident. $25-$50 is far cheaper than an ER visit or surgery. Even the most experienced of us have lapses in attention.

[@rockinHurley777]

[@JohnHeisz]

Sorry Jer, forgot to mention that I took some inspiration from your system. But hey... the handles built into the bottom... what about that little bit of slickness! :D

[@Jer_Schmidt]

John Heisz - I Build It I hope my comment didn’t come off wrong, I’m not upset about anything :-) You validated my idea! I designed a setup like this, at the same time as I designed the little hardware boxes that go in my workbench drawers. Ended up going with that design instead, because I didn’t have a good spot in the shop for the little drawer setup.
