Now that I have the perfect workbench designed and built, it’s time to add some storage within it. I wanted something that would be able to house all the dog hole clamps that I use on the bench surface, some standard drawers for storing tools, as well as a slide-out drawer for housing a couple of my frequently used bench-top power tools. This storage cabinet satisfies all those requirements and looks fantastic at the same time! It sits flush with the face of the bench as well so you can continue to clamp long boards to the front without any interference. It’s definitely been a huge upgrade to my shop and will most likely be the same for yours.

You are just one of the best narrator of all the woodworking channels, and I always wait for that first mention of your neighbor (this one was quick!). Thank you for your videos and display of amazing skills...

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Eric!

[@stephborel]

@@FishersShop I agree with Eric! I always can't wait till a new video comes out because i know time, attention, and walnut are always involved.. turns my day around.

[@puppydoc7949]

@Fisher's Shop - I always wonder how much of a shack the neighbor's house must be by now... eventually, it's going to be just a framed structure... LOL I'm always learning from his videos and there's always at least a little nugget of humor that sneaks in when least expected.

[@JayBates]

I concur. GREAT narrator.

[@ericpetitclerc5519]

@@JayBates But I like your videos too, Jay!

[@tazmane3]

The comment about the "4 more drawers for me to look through for the tool I just had in my hand"....that one cracked me up, and I can 100% relate...

[@FishersShop]

Hehe, thanks for watching

[@karyjas1]

Your neighbor has the most wood heavy house in the universe. At this point any normal house would have been stripped bare to the foundation. Not even furniture left. His house however - he hasnt even noticed... its one impressive house

[@FishersShop]

I have lots of neighbors. For some reason they keep leaving and then I get new ones.

[@marcush1968]

😂Great

[@rcjbvermilion]

*had

[@theor.9219]

Yeah and the best part about it must be that when the structure get so wonky the neighbours will leave themselves leaving the rest to be scavengend.

[@theor.9219]

@@FishersShop hey I'm your neighbour, in a sort of way... But here in the Netherlands we mostly make houses out of brick not like you savages across the pond..

[@smalltimeworkshop6537]

Oh Lord - the drawer of snacks! That's freaking awesome!

[@FishersShop]

Right?!

[@rjtumble]

Love the excessive walnut, glad the tight squeeze didn't cause any drawer pull problems.

[@DiHandley]

Talk about a virtual forest of clamps! Impressive!

[@msmit423]

Your videos are the Bob Ross of woodworking.

[@FishersShop]

If I only had his afro though

[@chriswells1741]

I don’t know why, but the slightly cheesy comedy gets me every time. Your delivery and timing just hits. Makes the videos that more enjoyable.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like them. Thanks

[@tsquaredwoodworks3037]

Great as always Drew! Love the "well I don't like that...." I can't tell you how often I say that to myself! I would like to say that I love the use of "flat" head screw. If only I saw a slotted screw in this build... ;)

[@charliebrown8278]

5:52. It’s there.

[@FishersShop]

Somebody needs to watch it again. 😉

[@Damon_Barber]

Storage looks awesome! And, yes! It totally ties in with the table! Princess Leia sanding… ROFL!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! :)

[@tonybowers9490]

Thanks for sharing. Talk about tight tolerances! Wow! Once again I'm reminded.... one can never have too many clamps!

[@FishersShop]

Yeah, it was quite a squeeze!

[@daveb8598]

Love it! - "more drawers to look through when trying to find the thing you just had in your hands"

[@therelaxingwoodshop7495]

Guinness poured, fire lit, time for some Fisher,s shop

[@makernova8160]

I can identify with "going over the top for a build"! I'm constantly reminding myself not to go too far so that I can actually finish a project in a timely manner. Workbench looks great!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! :)

[@bytesizedengineering]

You've done it again! Beautiful drew, thanks for sharing.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Zach!

[@odarkthirtywoodworks3543]

Drew, this is by far one of my favorite shop builds you have done, I seriously love the contrast with the maple and walnut! Thank you for the effort you continually put into creating these masterpieces!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks man!

[@johnh5008]

Really ties the room together, dude.

[@pazmaniaoh6341]

I always get 5 year old excited when you post a video.

[@jonathanmiddleton5261]

Man I love the humor. I was just trying to draw mine up yesterday but trying to figure out casters and a kegerator. We could combine the two and have the perfect woodworking movie theater.

[@FishersShop]

There ya go!

[@moogoomoogoo5990]

You win the clamp acquisition competition.

[@woody1320]

You sure have some mighty generous neighbors!!!! Well done sir!!!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks!

[@genewhitesides2722]

Love the Walnut Maple contrast. Great work, nice cabinet. Thank you for sharing.

[@FishersShop]

Thank you very much!

[@jasonwmarsh]

It's so beautiful I want to cry.

[@greghomestead8366]

Always a good idea when you acquire some wood from your neighbor's house to break it down as quickly as possible so it's unrecognizable. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

[@FishersShop]

Hehe, yup. Thanks, Greg

[@charliebrown8278]

This has got to be the most beautiful piece of garage furniture ever built. I wish I could afford half the walnut used on this! And those clamps! Holy cow. Forget raiding your neighbours houses… I’m raiding yours. Thank you for another memorable build. And your narration is the best on the interweb.

[@heathermacmillan962]

Walnut always gives a piece character and style 😁❤️

[@FishersShop]

Sure does!

[@erictroutman1571]

Over built, over thought, over the top…love it!

[@Sebastopolmark]

1:30 AND "High Contrast Accent" You are really getting professional (almost). GREAT project! !! !!!

[@FishersShop]

SUPER professional... except for when I forget to put on pants.

[@1004trenton]

New to your videos but so grateful I came across them! If you are just pretending to be a woodworker, I am just a kid over here playing with sticks! Thanks for the great content!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you're liking it, Trenton

[@gumbyboy15]

Thanks for the outtakes. Reminds me I’m not the only one that makes mistakes.

[@allenpeachy3987]

I love the flat screw segment in your videos.

[@FishersShop]

:)

[@Arno4242]

I too have a stash of "contraband" in my shop. It seems it a thing since days of old; when we cleaned out my granpas shop we also found some sweets he forgot about from years ago - he hid it so well HE couldnt even find it haha!

[@FishersShop]

Hehe

[@jimgam730]

Good thing you have a neighbor that goes to work and you can get your wood from. Mine always seems to be home when I try that........

[@Mhakeman]

This is outstanding. Your craftmanship has improved dramatically over the arc of your videos. You are a grand master!

[@FishersShop]

Haha, hardly! But thanks anyway. I am definitely getting better but I still consider myself a beginner

[@rudyschwab7709]

A candy drawer! He has a real candy drawer! That is the best option ever!

[@GordyDhatt]

Holy hell! That's not a workbench, it's a work of art! I'm afraid my garage just wouldn't be worthy of such an impressive piece. Unless I built it out of cast-off pine, particle board, and OSB...

[@FishersShop]

Oooo! Sounds stunning!

[@papparocket]

I live my life by the adage that "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing". Glad to see I have found a fellow traveler.

[@davidshorb7453]

I'm undecided on what entertains me more. You're builds, your humor or the editing. Oh and on a side note, this build is beautiful. I'd love to have that in my leather shop. Albeit, with a full range of shallow drawer to hold hand tools and patterns 😉leather, maple and walnut 😁now, that would be a beautiful contrast

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, David! :)

[@scotter_dotter]

Greatest stash drawer ever!!!!❤

[@mishellbrossier1605]

I always laugh watching your videos, and think .. "sure I could do that" . (I sooo could NOT do that!) But it's definitely something to strive for. You are incredibly talented!!!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece.

Thanks so much! But trust me... you COULD do it!

Awsome Drew I am sure it brings you a smile every time you sit down to do something at the bench.

Totally dig the humor! 🏜🐪☀🐫🌵 Beautiful bench. Thanks for posting. 😊🙏

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lionritchie8201]

The endings are everything. They remind me that these polished videos I see online go through the same realizations and "adjustments" that I do. That I'm not a total idiot when I make a mistake and that it's part of the process.

[@FishersShop]

You got it!

[@davidmeyer9204]

As always, Thanks! You stole my game of "finding the flathead" Love your stuff!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like it!

[@clydedecker765]

Great looking piece Drew. Best one yet. Good use for all that recycled plywood out of the neighbor''s garage too.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍

[@briandavern8741]

You sir must be a master thief to do so well in your scavenging. The cabinet turned so well it looks as it was built with the bench from the beginning. Master level work there. I love the outtakes as well. Its good to know that mistakes are the amusing common factor we all share.

That's great, Drew. I'm one of those waiting for the flat head screw. Also, it took a while during the outtakes but the "Oh crap" finally showed up. Do you ever follow your neighbors after they move to their new house for a fresh supply of wood? Bill

[@FishersShop]

I just wait for the new ones to move in next door. Less driving.

Wow Drew, this piece definitely has to be in the Top 5 most beautiful workbenches out there~! I can see making one of these myself and it getting hijacked by my wife for use in the house (sideboard?). She'd be saying the same thing I'd be thinking, "That thing is too pretty to work on." Great job & great video~!! Thanks for sharing it. That last outtake is hilarious~!

[@FishersShop]

Hey thanks, Andrew! :)

[@qapla]

Drew, that is one fine looking workbench. Just goes to show, just because something is for shop use doesn't mean it can't look good. I wish I had (or knew how to use) the 3-D design software for designing things like you do - I just have to envision them in my head and make the mistakes as I cut and assemble.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! Yeah, if I couldn't design it first, then none of these projects would ever happen.
