Shop Workbench pt. 2 - Wood Drawers and Benchtop

[@jmccarty480]

So happy to see you knockin' out awesome projects again. Been following along since the early barn days. Welcome Back Brother!

[@rainfallprojects501]

Thanks so much for sticking around that long! The early barn days feel like a lifetime ago

[@ibrahimkocaalioglu]

​@@rainfallprojects501By the way I also watched all of your videos like a series in Netfkix. Finished them all in three weeks. I tried to contact you but your social medias were down but could reach your wife and send my best wishes to all of your family from Turkey.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Same here! Much appreciate straight forward project content without over-slick production work. Thank you for all you do for all of us.

[@titosrevenger]

Same here. I started watching when JD posted a photo album to his barn door build on Reddit. He hid a sly link to the video build series in the imgur album. Been subscribed ever since and I've watched every video.

[@troysgarage]

Same. He reminds me so much of my uncle. I learned a lot from him every summer working the farm with him. Amazing skill and vision for projects!

[@Sapnek]

U are like a long lost friend who reminds me of happier times from when i first knew u ...still waiting for part 8 of the deck build......

[@rainfallprojects501]

Haha, love this. The unfinished barn deck is not a proud point for me… maybe this winter?

[@mechanizatorrolny]

Sounds like appointment ;) I'm glad you are ok. Nice to see you.

[@jaypeeters]

​@@rainfallprojects501fingers crossed! That is how I discoverd youe channel.

[@Sapnek]

@@jaypeeters yes!!! Me too!!!!

[@CUclimber]

Neighbors who bring their Festool collection over are the best kinds of neighbors.

[@rainfallprojects501]

Agreed. He didn’t bring any beer though, so there is still room for improvement.

[@StitchGaijin]

@@rainfallprojects501 You made him some stairs, so I’m surprised he didn’t bring Bourbon for Kelly and you either. Jason had a chisel in his pocket too, could’ve just cut those notches with that. Ha ha. (You’ve done colabs before with various people/channels (Martin, Avid/Sami/Vectric, Moth, Aquor, Miles, etc.): I’m South of you in da Burg, same as Scott/Essential, so it made me think that he (or Buckin’ Billy) could probably hook you up with a Douglas Fir slab, or another colab with Cam/Blacktail for some walnut, or Buff Dudes would like your gym and kettlebells, or there’s a lot pretty close to you/us (Cam Hanes as well: Hammer on Pisgah, amongst others, Ag too, etc, etc, or Michael Cthulhu! He’s a transplant (but not in OR, in IL) from (Galway) Ireland too); like you and your vids, they’re all so motivating and inspirational… but you have your hands full with your girls and the farm, and the table you made looks, and will work, amazingly well, so just ‘food for future thought’ to widen your Venn diagram.) (BTW, I hand make polar-arrayed ‘Aggravation’ boards for Christmas presents; they’d be easy for Drake to make on your CNC (miss that fur baby). Not exactly Gloomhaven nor Wingspan, but you might enjoy it/them, or easy for Etsy). Thanks JD. Sláinte Mhath.

[@trishblakely3476]

It’s great to have new Rainfall videos! I can’t help but notice that we haven’t seen Drake lately. If he has crossed the rainbow bridge, I hope it was peaceful. ❤

[@rainfallprojects501]

I really appreciate that, I’m doing a video on him here soon

[@mandyleeson1]

Glad you mentioned Drake. Was thinking the same thing.

[@chrisstruttman8029]

Rainfall Projects and Bourbon Moth in one neighborhood? That must be the coolest neighborhood there's ever been. Nice job guys!

[@hifiandmtb]

Reckon!

[@wargboyz]

I KNEW I recognized that voice.

[@fredfred4086]

When I was an apprentice cabinetmaker, I was paid to beat up furniture to give it an 'antique' look. Embrace the dents and scratches on the solid wood top - lots of character and memories. It would be good to see a large patternmakers vise installed in your workshop one day. I can't get an Emmert vise here in Australia, so I had to buy a Taiwanese knock off. It works great and is worth more now than I paid for it. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@BadYossa]

Never seen a drawer that could be classed as "structural" before - absolutely excellent!

[@rainfallprojects501]

In case of earthquake, proceed to nearest drawer

[@stevejansen7953]

I'm a boat builder by trade. I use strips of mdf about 40mm wide & a hot melt glue gun to pattern around posts & beams to get an accurate shape to cut items like your bench to walls. I hope this helps you for your future projects. I love your channel.

[@alimanski7941]

That is a workbench to last decades, great work

[@rainfallprojects501]

Thanks, that’s always my goal is to build something that’ll last. Time will tell!

[@alexeychursin9370]

Приветствую Отличное изделие! Мастер, с большой буквы!🙂👍👍👍

[@RandallNorris-y7z]

Very nice. Your grandchildren will be building projects and memories on that bench. We'll done.

[@rainfallprojects501]

I’ve built many projects on my grandfather’s bench, there would be nothing cooler for me than to return the favor

[@Sawdustsailor]

Awesome to see Jason make an appearance

[@DawsonMakes]

Best collab ever! Love both of you guys!

[@VanskyAlleria]

Imagine having BurbonMoth as your neighbor!! Two of my favorite KZbinrs together. Nice work.

[@jonathanchouinard582]

I totally didnt expect @bourbonmoth to make an appearance! Great video.

[@christiansen4684]

Rainfall and Bourbon Moth!!!!! WHAT, GREAT!!!!!! From ARGENTINA!!!!!! 🙌🏻

[@meetn2veg]

You still give me some serious Barn Envy !!!

[@prOkrEAt]

Projects never disappoint! What a lovely workbench and can't wait to pt3.

[@mnmlro]

Burbsy!, that's what Imma call @Bourbonmoth from now on :D

[@jasonhanley67]

I cant get enough of your videos. Shop/Barn is looking great.

[@jewdd1989]

Turned out absolutely beautiful and functional! Now it all makes sense why you built Jason’s beautiful fold away stairs!!! I had no idea you two were neighbors. It turned out perfect for his needs too. I want neighbors like this!!!

[@Rochjm21]

Hands down, best channel on KZbin. No question.

[@DiabloandaDP]

KZbin worlds converge with Jason!

[@noobFab]

Really great to see another video - these are like panning for gold - sifting through the dross (other videso on YT) to find the occasional glittery nugget!

[@branchandfoundry560]

Well said.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Stout drawers! Great piece of furniture for the shop! As always Great Job!!

[@rainfallprojects501]

Thanks! Next piece of furniture, a couch. Then I’ll be set

[@robertsimmons3556]

I can only say you do meticulous work! When it comes on my feed that you've posted, I do not hesitate to click on your post! Keep up the good work!!

[@RossWilliamsDC]

So glad you are back to making videos. Great stuff.

[@TheRoadrunnerWB]

Wow, seeing this kind of handmade, neighborly, problem-solving work done makes me proud to be an American

[@rainfallprojects501]

We’ve done 4th of July party at Jason’s house a couple years in a row now, to add to this even more

[@jon1913]

@@rainfallprojects501 I know you're both in Oregon, but are you actually neighbors or just don't mind a drive to help a friend?

[@abdessalemboukhabla6002]

Never been this early , glad to see you posting on Friday ^^ , love from Algeria ❤❤❤

[@rainfallprojects501]

Algeria, that’s awesome! I’m curios, what’s farmed in Algeria? It’s very dry right?

[@Bloktarino]

Beautiful! That thing is going to serve you for a long time! 🙌 Great to see you making more videos again too mate! ❤

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Carpentry is just a series of correcting mistakes. Looks great! Love that solid top!

[@philipwilliams6270]

I’m so happy to see you back I really like your videos lots of

[@GoodLuckLive]

Those drawer boxes must be insanely strong 😮 sending all the best from Cape Town 👏

[@ibrahimkocaalioglu]

Good job. Precious neighbours. Glad your project is complete.

[@rainfallprojects501]

Not quite complete, but getting close!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I couldn't help but reach for my bowling ball. Project is looking fantastic.....The powder coating is impressive...as big as the frame was. tHanks for the video!

[@northrupjr5]

I just found your channel and I love it. Your craftsmanship is matched only by your editing. Nice video!

[@JorisV1983]

that workbench is beautiful.

[@carstenk2552]

Wow, as I rebuild the Workshop for my father I used 20mm ( ~1") as the table top which was already an upgrade from the 30 year old 15mm one. Seeing this 4" one is just mindblowing. Thank you

[@justinvanburen8259]

Man that coming together awesome!! I love it!!

[@bobme2787]

That is a great work bench. Very few people would have sent it out for powder coating. Nice detail. Having a accomplished craftsmanship like Hollywood on stand by is a big help.

[@tomg8817]

Love your channel, and the work you do.

[@brendonziegenbein5226]

Client- why were you late today? Me- Rainfall Projects dropped a new video, IYKYK

[@rainfallprojects501]

Client - but doctor, my open heart surgery has been scheduled for over a year now!

[@thomasleahy3767]

Burbon Moth is awesome! More colabs please!

[@emoshawn77]

You sure do make some very cool stuff. Great job!

[@jrehtil1494]

what a nice project as always. Thanks

[@carycleland9506]

Funny that two of my favorite dudes to watch are friends.

[@maxsimons8305]

so glad to see you back! ive missed ya!

[@badzioch64]

Jason. Master of the safety squint

[@pileofstuff]

Convenient neighbour to have! How much bourbon did that assistance cost you?

[@Hightex-lz5ky]

Haha you're neighbour just became a beast when he took of his jacket, what a sleeper build.

[@deathfrombeloved]

In case you don't actually know, his neighbor is Jason Hibbs the guy behind Bourbon Moth Woodworking, another very good and popular KZbin channel in a similar vein to Rainfall

[@Hightex-lz5ky]

​@deathfrombeloved, i didn't know that

[@TommyG_0311]

I love the channel, love the projects. Me personally. I would have wired the outlets before putting the top and lagging it down to the frame.

[@jacemusgrove3073]

That'll be around for a few lifetimes! Well done! Ps. Cool forklift!

[@davidfrankhauser1666]

lol, glad your friend Jason wasn’t to camera shy!

[@kyleallen5668]

What are the odds of you two being neighbors? Bananas. Two very different video styles. Both awesome.

[@Vikingwerk]

Beautiful bench top!

[@SeanHodgins]

That worktop 😍

[@markmonroe7330]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@fstoll3]

The only thing that I don't like about your videos, is the time in between each one. I understand, that being a farmer, husband, and father doesn't leave much time to create videos, so I am happy when I get a notification about a new video. You can tell that you take the time to create quality videos. Too bad, you don't have a neighbor like Jason does to help you. . How long did it take to make that bench? No one can ever accuse you of making anything that isn't well-built. Thanks for the effort you put into each project. Wishing you and your family all the best. Keep up the good work.

[@rainfallprojects501]

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Ya I’ve had to back off from videos to make more family time, but I still love doing it when I can. I started the bench back in January, but I get really busy on the farm in the spring and summer so the project got put on hold.

[@jackrobberson1671]

Love your videos, they are motivating and inspiring! Keep up the great work and keep making these awesome videos!

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

Soo good to see more vids from you man, I’m hoping KZbin didn’t try and demontize you from not uploading like they did to me

[@shaunwootton798]

Looking good! I'm wanting to do something similar but smaller. I really like the slider drawer idea.

[@oscardelgadotolosa3819]

Que sana envidia de banco de trabajo.... está quedando genial. Buen proyecto.

[@rainfallprojects501]

!Gracias amigo!

[@austinjohnson1006]

Bro, I loved the work bench and your overall work shop setup is my dream but then @1:18 I saw that your a COUG as well! Automatic sub! GO COUGS!

[@sgtdrinkho]

Dude that is your neighbor!!!!! You have got to be kidding!! Wow must be nice. Enjoy!!

[@danielburgess2841]

Food for thought…stained glass windows above the workbench designed by your wife. Would look awesome. Been here since the beginning and really enjoy the projects. Subscribed to bourbon moth well.

[@rainfallprojects501]

That's a great idea! I just have some clear glass in there now, but I'm putting this idea in my back pocket for later...

[@alibronx2112]

Fine work! Would be cool to see Mathias Wandel test those box joints 😅

[@rainfallprojects501]

One of my KZbin hero’s!

[@jon1913]

There's so much glue surface I think it would break Mathias' test rig.

[@LongBeachRunner]

100% love this comment

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

The Willamette valley progression: Grass seed capital of the world to Hazelnut capital of the world to KZbin craftsman capital of the world… Good to see Jason jump in, now waiting for Cam from Blacktail Studio

[@ChadHadsell]

Add Sawyer Designs and Frank Howarth to that list, too!

[@richardwalters1803]

Love your videos

[@mark6173]

Nice job loving your irish flag 🇮🇪

[@blainerueckwald]

Put the drawer bottoms in a dado, no chance of the bottom falling out and much easier to assemble. also to mouint the drawer slides just cut a piece of plywood to the right height for the top slide =, mark them all , the cut it down for the next height and so on.

[@kylerossmannn]

@Bourbonmoth Well Done, would love to see a big co lab Gentlemen

[@Petertutinski]

Love this guy.

[@Thejakegee]

Yesssss! Love this work!

[@skyknight6467]

use a little painters tape wrapped around your finger when spreading glue makes the cleanup a little faster especially when your doing it for long enough that the glue starts to dry on your finger.

[@markarantes8252]

great job !!

[@davidwood9934]

Great project although I was a bit disappointed that Jason didn't do the sanding. Heard he loves to sand. :)

[@rainfallprojects501]

I can’t afford his rates

[@Gigglezzz]

This is cool, my to favo bild KZbinrs.

[@2hlix]

I'm a big fan of using scrap piece of wood to install drawer slides at same height relative to inside base. I don't have to be as fine/precise in my holding as the wood does it for me

[@rainfallprojects501]

That’s a good idea, I’m going to use that.

[@philclayton5163]

In Jason’s words, zip zap zoop there you have it

[@masheen3658]

That couldn’t have been Jason from Bourbon Moth! He would have used the domino when joining the two pieces. You have an imposter.

[@Wordsnwood]

From now on, he will be known as "Bourbsy" 😁

[@stephmo371]

Ya know what, this guy kinda looks like Tom Brady. Anyways, awesome build so far man. Nice work

[@patricktdonovan]

Great to see you back and fun to see Jason make an appearance, how high was his appearance fee??? Great job.

[@rainfallprojects501]

It wasn’t too bad, we had enough to cover it once we drained the girls’ college fund

[@erikslagter3231]

that is one beefy table top!

[@jameshinton8561]

I guess Jason just runs and slides across his own workbench

[@mchslaxstar55]

Those drawers would be awesome for bee boxes. Just leave out the bottoms

[@irritablearchitect]

Bitchin'. I've had plans to do something similar for a decade or more...need to get on with it. Inspiring.

[@pv9960]

Jason! 🤩

[@CrosshairLunchbox]

Bourbon Moth has arrived

[@ltanthrax8435]

Being sich a soft wood top pick up some plywood work sheets in 3 or 4 ft sections lor some alum / steel plate if you need to pound on your table

[@timothycurrie3644]

So you have the work top against the wall studs. What stops stuff from falling in between them?

[@shingieyPT]

Do u still have that laser cutting machine you used to make dumbbells. I need it badly.

[@justinmallett1008]

I almost didn't recognize Jason with the short beard.

[@mikewieggers3139]

Justin, what happened to your metal storage rack that you had in the back of the barn?

[@pccalcio]

so.. what happens when someone inevitably drops something behind it, and ends up below the workbench ? 😬

[@danny3pt]

Awesome

[@iamzombie]

I was worried you were going to try and scribe the corrugated tin too. That would have been a nightmare.

[@Mostviews111]

Beautiful maybe put a piece of rubber between the floor and tabs i dont think the powder coat will hold up to that abuse long term.

[@NK-io2rz]

I’m concerned this bench isn’t going to be heavy enough.

[@AndreasBested]

I love that you are back with new projects! But could you have a look at the sound levels in the next ones? All the machine sounds are extremely loud compared to your voice over soul it's impossible to find a volume level that's comfortable

[@rainfallprojects501]

Will do. I actually spend a lot of time on the sound levels, but I'm not very confident on it and I know they can be better for sure. Let me know on the next video if they are any better, I'll take extra care. Thanks.

[@codygreenwood1014]

Do shop tour and tool box tour

[@Mostviews111]

Dont think the top will split being bolted down not being able to move?
