I love the fact that you always seem to post your videos the moment I drop off my wife at the grocery store and begin the wait in the parking lot. Your videos really inspire me to return to the house and get to work!

[@mooseroo2005]

What timing! I was just eyeing my upper cabinets and shelving, thinking about places for hand tool storage, which my garage sorely lacks. I thought some sort of drop down shelf would work, and decided to look for a how-to video when an Etsy notification for your new pattern showed up. I have some old cabinet drawers that I'm going to cut down and modify for this purpose. Thanks!

[@HanfordOutLine]

Thank this is going to give me a bunch of more storage I was going to look into making a new table with storage but I think with this I’ll be good for a while

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@bryanmartin8336]

I'm currently designining a workbench/assembly table with drawers, but this is an interesting concept. Thinking that you could still utilize this space similarly but you'd have to open the top drawer in order to access these. Might have to play around with this idea.

[@dawnkingston7530]

I love this idea

[@dannyburns8377]

This also works great for use between joist in lofted buildings

[@FiaCat7]

I am so going to build this. I have so little space... but I don't understand how the knobs work

I've built a dozen or more around my shop. cant tell you haw much space I've gained. BUT!! Now I want to built bigger ones. Now the width is no problem. but If I make them deeper? will I need to adjust the length of the legs? or move the holes for the legs? Thank again

How would this work on a bench with dog holes? Would the top mounting plate keep sawdust and chips out of the boxes?

Beautiful. You videos help me think out of the box. And for that, I thank you, sir!

Hi Matt. I have two workbenches with a lot of dead space underneath that I’ve been trying to figure out how to better utilize. I also want to use some of that space to locate frequently and misplaced tools. I like this idea and think I’ll incorporate a version of this plan into what I want to do. Thanks!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Nice! This kind of build should do all of that. Thanks for watching.

[@shaneshaver4700]

On part E in your plans: The 12" x 1.5": In the video in the second hole you measure 3/4 inch up but your plans show 7/8 down. That's what I see. What did I miss?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

[@JamesSmullins]

I like this a lot. My shop is a 8'x8'x20' shipping container which makes every inch of floor and wall space premium space. I'm designing a 16' lon x 30" wide bench that the job site table saw will slide into the end, and the miter station and planer will flip down leaving plenty of work space for long lumber on any machine. The opposite wall will have a 36" x 8' flip down work and assembly table. Both would make wall storage a bit of a pain to reach often used tools and these drawers would solve the problem. This also leaves the entire wall above the workbench as lumber storage, up and out of the way but reachable and the opposite wall can have French cleat space over and past the assemble table. And the back wall will be where I use a modular storage system for all my work tools since I pay the bills being a handyman at least for now. Likely going with toughbilt since they're coming out with a complete system like packout but a bit cheaper. Every little idea for storage helps make my micro shop more usable for bigger projects which means I can make more money. 🙂

[@derekalexander4030]

Are the shelves self supportive so they hang at the angle you showed or are they resting on the plastic boxes that you have on the lower shelf?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

They are self supported. No need for the boxes under. The boxes just show you can still have other storage with the built ins.

Awesome. Between this and the game changer, I'm going to be busy after the shoulder heels. One question, tho. At approximately 2:45 you said you were using a 1/4" boat to assemble this. Oh, at 6:00 you used the boat. Never mind.

[@samsanderson7159]

I really like this idea. I'm going to be looking for storage solutions in my new shop soon. I also liked the video you did with the workbench that articulated up into a shelf system. How hard would it be to make that into a 6 foot bench instead of 8?

[@richardmccann4815]

Probably just drop one shelf.

[@bd_mayhem]

Maybe I missed it, but how does the dowel act as a lock?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

It keeps the box up in the locked position

[@Not_TVs_Frank]

The hole for the dowel is drilled through the bench apron and the front of the drawer. As long as the dowel is through both holes, the box can't swing down.

[@Not_TVs_Frank]

This is a very clever way to add a little extra storage for frequently used small items. If you store chisels, don't skimp on the magnets! You don't want those tumbling out.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

True! Thanks!

[@lesd2633]

Everything slides around and fall out. Not for me

[@RollingAlaskans]

I’m thinking these would be good on the extension piece on my table saw, it’s friggin chip board (big disappointment unpacking THAT part). I am using an existing shop so space is very tight but there’s some pretty cool tools I get to use! Under that extension would be a pretty awesome place to store push sticks, tape measures, squares, and about a thousand pencils.

[@WedodgedabulletAmericaFY]

Storage is a mass problem in most shop if its not now it will be someday.

[@stephenbeck5993]

Being up under the workbench top, contents of the boxes will stay clean and not fill up with sawdust. Nice.

[@rhoula]

Can I ask what is the point of mount. Can't you just put some brackets instead of the whole thing. Wouldn't that work just fine?

[@FiaCat7]

No, seriously, in the video it looks like you are just twisting the knob and it opens... I just drilled a hole thru the bench and into the mount and stuck a dowel through it to keep it closed. It looks like you are just turning yours

[@rustyshackleford9362]
