Great use of scrap boards,usual smart design,easy,and functional. Well done mate,especially the easy positioning of the drawers! I would prefer to use round head screws for the little brass cardholders,just to avoid bending them. All the best,I'm binge watching your videos,and the quiet,unhurried format is just perfect. Hope you're well . Looking forward to more of your calm,practical projects.

A woodworkers irony. Using up wood scraps to make room for wood scraps.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I like the finished look with the big red casters looks cool.

[@pitsnipe5559]

A project like this can help novice woodworkers feel confident that building a chest of drawers is not as difficult as they may think. Nice use of scraps. In my shop (aka the corner of the garage) there are no scraps, just unthought projects.

[@williambeckett9229]

😂

[@BischBaschBosch]

That'll do 'er Matt. I too am currently trying to form a unit from scraps as it happens👋

[@Quaker521]

Cheap, simple yet very practical. Great job Matt.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi Matt, good and solid tool chest and looks great in OSB ,what you need to do is to rub some candle wax on the wood runners on the drawers to slide better or you can use silicone spray. As always a great video Take care

[@101projects2]

These are my favourite kind of build, were joints and clearances don't have to be mm perfect, and a there or thereabouts approach is more than good enough to achieve a good result 👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. I enjoy these projects too

[@MrGeroth]

Pretty good idea very simple and effective.

[@wonkycutsworkshop]

Really good job Matt. Simple seems to be the way forward. Well done.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@homewurks1]

I love how, in England we use any pieces that we have leftover in the shed, whereas in America they just get another piece of White Oak

[@josephtwilley7187]

Not quite good Sir. I scavenge all the time and use what I have.

[@DaveGDesigns]

Nice build Matt I think those drawers are crying out for some shadow foam

[@kevster2355]

Congrats on the 50k! 🎉

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@juneritchie2498]

Smart, efficient cabinet for your gear. What about putting some rails under the top shelf even though they are not actually needed? It would provide consistency from the front view, and it may help keep some pesky bits of dust getting in. This seems like a good option for me to try for drawers under my workbench.

[@hyundaiverna]

thanks for sharing! Very on point, utilitarian approach. This proves you don't need expensive tools, fancy joining techniques, walnut, epoxy and CNC or 3D printing to make something nowadays. PS: candle wax or paste wax on those rails will make drawers ride way smoother due to roughness and uneven grain direction of OSB

[@carlhobson1578]

Shadow foam would go well with the camera stuff

[@HeroicFXs]

Looks great! I think the burnt Osb look would look awesome with the burnt look to make the drawers pop

[@Badgerworkshop]

That would look good

[@hyundaiverna]

Yakisugi or even experiment with tinting just for laughs

[@Jako-fh8zg]

Great video and a really useful cabinet/storage. Are you using Bosch tools? 😂😂😂😂😂🙏🙏

[@dan.w.hoover2556]

Very cool!

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Matt, that was another excellent project and even better thst you did not have to purchase any other materials, I was expecting it to be covered in paint, but no, bedt regards from a Kiwi living in Australia

[@josephtwilley7187]

It would be cool to see Keith and you do a big project together. Any possibility of that happening?

[@Badgerworkshop]

Maybe one day

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty fantastic work, Matt! 😃 It may have been a simple construction, but it still looks great! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@danpeters5163]

Great video, enjoying the using up what I have theme. Might want to fit runner battons on the top draw to stop the draw tiping?

[@andyc972]

Nice simple construction there Matt, sometime constraints from available materials can result in a better solution, the lower drawer sides work perfectly to make way for the slides and I quite like the look too, although my OCD would insist I put a slide below the shelf too (or even just a short block) for a more uniform look !

[@Badgerworkshop]

I ran out of wood but will do that when I have more OSB

[@jabrwok]

Nice and simple. Could probably use some kind of stops so the drawers don't fall out if you pull them too far forward.

[@dougdavidson175]

I'm sure yer aware that a smear of candle wax on the drawer slides will make them glide much easier. 12-18mm sheet goods should make that chest a bit o a beast to shift. Nice quick build Matt. Take care & stay safe.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Looks pretty neat! I actually like the look of OSB. Okay,it's not black walnut, but it has a certain woodworking-vibe to it, doesn't it?

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Yes I like the look of OSB

[@MCsCreations]

I've seen something once... I don't remember details, but someone did doors, I think, out of OSB and applied a clear epoxy finish to it. Damn, it looked amazing!

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍.Thanks Matt

🎉🎉🎉 congrets on 50k! Also, the runners being visible through the front is an awesome look! Happy accident or clever design decision?

[@Badgerworkshop]

It was the plan but I need to add some for the top shelf

[@johncochrane2707]

Superb job Matt.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@mikehunt4375]

Why can't you cut to size with a track saw?

[@Gaz_does_stuff1969]

could turn that into a great flight case,

[@craiglarkins6688]

I presume that new chest is not staying in the workshop?.. as the dust!

[@srh1101]

That was a nice KISS project Matt. Are you going to be sealing the OSB or just leave it natural?

[@Badgerworkshop]

Keeping it natural

[@Kx110x]

Hope you have an alarm on your sheds , things being what they are pretty much everywhere . Kind regards

[@darrens3052]

How did you ever manage before you made that measuring thingy?!! It's being put to good use 👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

It's definitely coming in handy

[@andyk101]

What's the name of of your cooking channel, Matt?

[@kevster2355]

You’ll find Matt over at Kitchen Ramblings

[@gilesfone]
