Great build! I'm so happy I stumbled upon your video. I'm in process of designing my tool chest. It will be slightly different from yours, but I'm totally stealing the concept of the drawer frames. This solved the missing puzzle for me, which was how to elegantly add runners to dovetailed drawers. That is not a problem in furniture-sized drawers, where the runner can fit in between dovetails, but you cannot exactly scale that idea down as either your runners will become too thin or they would ruin the look of dovetails.

Very nice work; educational and inspiring to watch. I admire your vision, attention to detail, and your patience! FYI, a note on the video production: the volume levels are quite uneven. Your voice volume is relatively quiet, but the tool sounds are much louder. Makes it hard to listen to, as the listener has to keep adjusting the volume. Thanks!
