Wasting my time with boomer movie clips.

Thank you!

Mr Newton I like all your tips but reality is I don't have a table saw and make boxes I cut all my rebates with a Stanley no 50 and joints with a shooting board splines are cut by hand please do a video with this in mind I would appreciate some more tips to make life easier thanks Dean

Another great video! The Japanese clamps seem like a great idea for small projects and glue-ups. However, they are out of stock at Amazon and they may restock the clamps. Any idea (s) where else to look for the clamps? I looked around but did not spot any other sellers.

Do you feel like when you mill the wider logs you need an auxiliary oiler? How many passes do you usually get before having to sharpen the chain? We have the same set up.

The "use a stop block even when making the squaring cut" tip is an excellent one. I learned that the hard way after I spent an hour trying to understand why multiple squares were telling me the miter was square to the blade, but the resultant cut was not square. I was assuming all of my squares had a discrepancy between the outside edges and the inside edges and it was driving me nuts. It was just because as I was pushing the workpiece into the blade, the resistance was causing the workpiece to move ever so slightly during the cut, throwing it out of square.

MY exact thoughts . . . thanks.

I was wondering what could make with the those small cutoffs sitting in the scrap box . Thanx

That’s a great idea!

that darkened the wood quite a bit for a "clear" product

I have no idea what you were talking about with your first tip. I don't see how you wound up with different sizes.

Couldn't you just put it in your bench vise?

At that price, I'm surprised it has a motor. I was mostly expecting it to be needed to attached to a hand drill.

A simple mind set change will help a person reduce the amount of money they waste on tools. Don't see a tool and think it looks cool, buy it, and then try to figure out how you will use it. Turn the process around. When there are processes or actions you do that are tedious or don't work well, look for tools to help that activity. It's a simple little perspective change, but it helps... not that I still don't buy tools I have no idea how I will ever use the thing.

You use the golden ratio to determine how thick or thin the box should be in relation to its size. Also, from an artist standpoint, its a compositional flow so open space is part of the ratio - and it's usually just done by eye (similar to how you figured out how thick or thin it should be). It's all pretty cool stuff that can apply to a lot of things!

Thanks

Great video, I'd heard of, but then forgotten about those little Japanese clamps. This time I'm gonna save some to my wish list! Also, what's the purpose of the granite slab on your sharpening box if you're not using it with the scary sharp (sandpaper) method? Since you're using diamond stones anyway, it seems a bit overkill in the expense department.

One thought, if you cut the height of the back of the draw roughly in half, then when the drawer is open, your divider shelf could slide back, giving access to the bottom layer of storage. In that way, it doesn't have to be removed except for the case where you would need to access the very back of the lower level.

Love this, I get all geeky about organizing 🤓

No handle because the box is small and the lid already opens easily. Nice handle, though.

Cool idea.

Great video. Love the dividers, boxes, and your scrolling project organization. The small boxes and drawer dimensions remind me of James T Kilroy’s video, The Poor Mans Lista.

Brilliant

Lots of unique (out of the box!) thinking here, as usual. And the execution is as tidy as the thought process is fluid.

The idea of storing the components under the work is actually brilliant. Youre going to take out the work anyways to get to them. So it's less of a tool drawer and more of a easily storable, mobile project tray

What if that t track was routed instead of metal..... Hmmm

rhank you

What a great idea Thanks for sharing

Excellent! Over engineering at its finest!

Great ideas, Billy. They give us a starting point for customizing our own storage. Bill

Really like this, planning not just for tools but I have three girls and my wife.....too much stuff in their drawers.

Cool tray, except I can't stand MDF. Still, the concept is great. Don't you need finger holes in the front or on the sides to lift it out of the drawer? Love the little brass clamps. Unfortunately, they're out of stock with no known restock date.

“Rips your face off” you disqualified yourself bud. I’ve resawed literally miles of lumber.

Brilliant, Billy! I'm definitely going to copy the idea! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Lots of good ideas!

Very clever ideas thank you .

That sand paper trick loks like a guitar makers tool?

I love the idea of using T track inside the drawer.... that's brilliant! It never occurred to me to do that... thanks for posting this video!

Nice video and very clever design ideas. But ultimately...possibly the most over-engineered and expensive storage drawer in history 🤣 ✌

A little bit of shellac would prevent those raw edges from swelling. It’s certainly cost effective if you are wanting to spend $$$ on storage.

I love your videos, my concern with this project is it's made with MDF. Do you really think that would stand up over time? Personally I would have made them out of hard maple or walnut (I'm kind of flashy that way) but more importantly I want things to last. That, and I also absolutely HATE mdf...lol. Just my opinion and do you think it will last? Thanks...

I've wanted to join Woodworkers Guild for years. Thanks so much for the discount and congratulations on the sponsorship!

yeah cool but i dont have $20,000 of sawing equipment at home

WHAT BRAND IS YOUR LASER ENGRAVER THANKS

Красавчик, молодец привет из России

i love you

👍💓!!

1960's Ford car doors had their own sound.

Truer words have never been spoken, " you have to do it the way it works for your brain" BRAVO!

Thank You for your videos !
