Small Parts Organizer with Triangle Drawers

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
In my latest woodworking project, I decided to make a wooden small parts organizer out of reclaimed boxwood. This woodworking project would be perfect for the woodworker who needs to organize nails, screws, or other small parts that you commonly find in your workshops.
For this woodworking project, I had a goal of using mostly hand tools, as I wanted to show that woodworking is not just about the tools that you have, as there are many ways to achieve the same result with a variety of simpler and less expensive hand tools.
Only having only hand tools or basic power tools should not be an excuse it give woodworking a go - Enjoy!
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Although my only interaction with Mr. Pask is via watching his videos, I can’t help but feel like he would be a really cool guy to hang out with in person.

[@ClintonCaraway]

I absolutely agree!! I think it would be awesome to spend a few days and collaborate on a project. I bet even a old guy like myself could learn a trick or fifty.

I was thinking although I loved my woodworking teacher at school, Mr. Pask would make a really cool teacher too!!

@@ClintonCaraway I'm 25, and being working with wood since I was 6 and always loved wood because of how gentle and forgiving it is compared to metal or composites.

Hi Neil, fantastic project as always. I found the use of hand tools particularly inspiring. I sometimes struggle with a feeling my tools aren't quite sharp enough. I appreciate there's loads of takes on sharpening chisels and planes out there, but I'd love to see your process sometime as you're definitely a maker I respect. I imagine your technique would be one I'd follow.

I love a wood worker that uses discarded wood, every bit is precious. I always look for that type of wood first before I buy new.

[@markmossinghoff8185]

I get all my wood from the trash containers behind our local flooring contractor. Some of it is cut offs from new installations but most of it is from tear outs which means there's a lot of nails to be pulled and a lot of split ends that need to be cut off but it's all hard wood and it's free. Sometimes there's more than I can haul and it breaks my heart that the rest goes to the land fill. I never pass up a good clean pallet too. Take care and stay safe.

[@Dwayne_Bearup]

@@markmossinghoff8185 I do a lot of work for Mormon churches in my area. A few years ago one of them needed to replace the floor of their "Culture Hall" - which is a basketball/volleyball court - and this one had an oak floor. The contractor they hired to do the job hauled all the old flooring strips to the dump. I was flabbergasted. Such a waste.

Hello friend, the truth is that I have been delighted I have seen many projects on KZbin but I recognize that not with such a very good level, it also strikes me that all the brushing work has been done by hand and that gives it much more value , not long ago I subscribed to your channel and I think I was right with a plenary session, thank you very much and greetings from Spain.

This was so fun to watch. It reminds me of my grandfather working in his little workshop. He only had a handful of the fancy electric tools since he liked to do some ornate things even into his 80s. But he did everything mostly with hand tools. I remember everytime we would go over there would be new things he learned to make. But I always loved the pretty wooden bowls he made.

[@nemian618]

Brilliant! I have been hand sanding in the garden of late just for the sense of calm it brings.

[@DennisSuitters]

Love this, would be great for a jeweller or other makers that use a lot of small parts. Love how you used mostly hand tools, and it's almost a scrap wood challenge. Love the handles as well, I was thinking if using a shiny brass handle, between the layers of drawers, brass washers could be used to keep the gap for drawer movement, and as an accent to the handles. Job well done.

[@wolfgtweb]

As always, enjoyed your project. I wish there was a clip at the end that actually showed the drawers being used. There was only a quick glimpse of one closing. Interested to see them in action. Thanks for sharing.

[@phillipsoucy]

I would imagine the combo of angled doors and the lazy susan make it pretty difficult to use without the whole unit spinning. There has to be a tangential component of the force required to open the door, which is going to want to rotate the unit. You can even see him holding the unit with his fingers as he closes the drawer in that one clip. Still a great build, especially considering it was built by hand, but it might benefit from having more resistance to the lazy susan part to make the drawers more functional.

[@christopherconnolly5791]

@@phillipsoucy as drawers get filled, the weight added might be enough to prevent some of the rotation.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Gregory! I could've done that but too late now. There's probably more of me opening them on the Makers Mob tutorial, at the end if I remember. :)

I see what you're saying but until I read this I didn't even think about it and I've opened and closed them heaps of times by now. That makes me think it feels very natural to open. :)

[@joshyingling]

The culture that says"i could do it with all the fancy tools you have" will never make anything other than more excuses. Great work sir 👍

[@MAGAMAN]

The fancy tools do help get stuff like that done a lot quicker. I couldn't imagine ripping all those board using a hand saw. Creating a straight, long cut with a hand saw is my Achilles tendon. By time I was don't the drawers would all be 1/4 inch tall. Lucky for me, I have all the fancy tools needed to make most of what I want. A router table and band saw would still be nice.

[@willmorrison1022]

@@MAGAMAN Make your own router table. That's how most of us get them. You can be as cheap or as fancy as you want. Plans all over the place, and you probably have time right now, don't you? They're easy. You can do it with a board and some screws, truth be told. Add a couple clamps and a 2x4 and you have a fence. Or you can make a freestanding unit with dust collection, storage, a fancy fence and t tracks. Either way, you built it. A band saw, while a whole lot more work, can also be built. Check out Mathias and his series of saws. He's got the plans for sale, and when you're done, you can say you did it. Quite honestly, guys like that impress the life out of me.

This was actually very inspiring Mr Pask, I've been trying to make the decision between handtool and power tool woodworking and this was a great argument in the favor of hand tools. (I hate noise)

[@PaskMakes]

I'm happy to use both in my workflow. Hand tools can do a better job for some tasks. They're far more enjoyable but for some tasks, like dimensioning wood, power tools save so much time. :)

[@dmartin1650]

Hand tools will take longer for larger projects but they are so much more satisfying, they work when you have no power, and the mess is much easier to clean up (more shavings less dust). That said, when I want a job done quick and detail is less important then 'm more than happy to pull out power tools. Most smaller jobs with any detailed joinery will often still need hand tools to finish.

For keeping the glue out of the holes while gluing the next shelf on, I think maybe packing the ole in the drawer with wax would keep the glue out. Now you would have an excess of wax to deal with....but it would be better than accidentally gluing a drawer shut.
