Favorite moment of any of your recent videos, 1:25, you are standing on the stool using a stick to work the 1/2" plywood out of the loft. You look directly into the camera and say, "Don't worry, I've got a system." Absolutely priceless! If you make tee shirts with your WWMM logo and that saying on them, I will buy one. 😎 I am so glad you are doing this type of build videos again, I am really enjoying them. Thanks Steve!
My favourite moment? 6:30 where the auto-subtitles classify the sound of the bradnailer as "[music]". Yes, yes it is!
This is by far the most helpful channel.
Only guy using tools that are at all accessible to the average hobbyist woodworker.
It seems like others are trying to make woodworking look harder and more expensive.
Youre about the only one that makes it less intimidating.
I learned almost every tool and proper use from your detailed basics videos. I cannot thank you enough Steve.
He's the only one I still watch, ALL THE OTHERS, have built custom shop have sponsors. I like he is still working out of a garage.
Thanks for keeping true to your fan base and not buying a $2000 bandsaw 😊
I know right? Oh this is so easy to make, and then they have a 5000 dollar tool that makes it. They just push a knob.
And a corded circ saw 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I see that but I also wish he’d treat himself. He has many reasons not to buy the bandsaw and likely treats his family or savings/investments. Smart move but would not bat an eye if he finally got a SawStop for a quality saw or maybe a small 18 inch wide drum sander. Or whatever else he actually considered a workshop luxury that isn’t that far off base for garage shop guys like us. I’d even say a Festo Domino isn’t that weird. Considering time and interest in projects anyone can save up and get one once they’re in then hobby deep enough.
Personally, I’ve seen too many folks that I used to watch ‘outgrow’ me. I’m a hobbyist and never plan to make a living off something I enjoy doing part time. Thanks for keeping us little guys interested, Steve.
Although your friend Matthias Wandel will be disappointed you did not build one of his bandsaws! 🙂
Refreshing to see a woodworker here on You Tube talking to the average workers, not sporting the expensive tools and rubbing those in our faces. Keep up the excellent work Love your videos. Down to earth and simple.
Yes it's greatly appreciated.
Thanks, I appreciate it. 👍👊
That turned out really nice! I love that it doesn't involve buying like 8 sets of drawer slides, too, because those suckers get expensive.
Seems like a good project to get started into a cabinet build! I've been using a 4x8 insulation sheet to back up plywood cuts for years and found cutting it in half and making a "hinge" with duct tape makes storage much easier.
The two inch foam holds up better.
For all who watch and haven't taken the weekend workshop course, let me tell you, its worth every penny!
Thank you! 👊👍
Thanks for watching my video! This cabinet is easy to make and so handy. If you'd like to build your own, detailed, measured plans are available here: shopwwmm.com/products/multi-purpose-mobile-tool-stand
Ha! So there is a place that we differ. I love making draws. I find fitting the components together so rewarding. Thanks for continuing to show your projects. I find them inspirational.
My dad made his workshop cabinets very similar back in the day. He was such an awesome cabinet maker. This gives me inspiration to run down to the shop and finish my drill press stand.
Thank you for keeping in the moments that show you're also a "mere mortal". Great project, video, and presentation! Really makes me want to get out there and build a few things!!
I use to watch your videos in highschool. I built a few little things, mostly inspirational. Since then iv joined the army, moved off and got married, had 2 kids and bought a house. Thank you for still posting videos. You've inspired alot of people. Including myself.
Relatable! It is not really SIMPLE, but compared with many similar projects it is! No need to be elaborate. Keep the humor and mistakes in your videos. It is your style, and I have been watching, and learning, for YEARS. Yes, we are getting older together and I hope it continues.
Every time I see that rip fence, I think, "you know, everyone should cut a rabbet next to their fence once, so those marks will always remind them to use a sacrificial board next time!"
Thanks for the great project video - always my favorites!
The number of times you dropped something or knocked something over in this video was super relatable. I love that you don't cut that out.
Worth mentioning is that the casters you list have 2-way locks; i.e. they lock wheel and rotation. That's important for a tool platform where you tend to push, like a band saw. I've been using this type for years, even on my work bench.
Great info, and makes the price that much better. Might have to get a few sets, for an existing table and future projects. Thanks.
Thank you Steve. You sir are an inspiration for simple woodworker wannabes like me. Learned much from you.
Thanks Steve, this is perfect timing as I needed a simple idea for a small built in dresser in a travel trailer. Didn't want to bother with drawer slides.
I was about to start my 2nd of 3 drawer cabinets to go under my miter saw station. I am using this plan. First time to use daddo’s & rabbits. Your plan $aved me a significant amount of money. My wife is thrilled with that. My first cabinet I bought metal drawer slides. That’s where the $avings comes in. I truly appreciate the fact that you use cost cutting techniques in your plans. Thank you!
I have been waiting for simple instructions to make a cabinet to add under my workbench. With a few adjustments, this is just what I have been looking for. Thanks so much!
Love your how to's
You saying "Don't worry, I've got a system" as you stabbed the plywood on the shelf with a stick and it causes your garage door to creak and shake...boy it was like watching myself work XD
Thanks, Steve. Love the project. I appreciate the fact that your projects and approach to life cater to the every man and woman, and are therefore relatable to us all. Keep up the great work and the practical approach to woodworking (like using real world measurements along the way rather than relying on plan dimensions exclusively). You are one of my favorite channels--it is always satisfying to anticipate your latest release. Thanks much!

“It’s not gamblin’, Barney; I got a system!”
- Fred Flintstone
I have really missed these projects, I enjoyed the lockdown series. I find my self going back to them to kindle my interest in wood work. Thanks Steve
Nice! My favorite part of this build is that he doesn't use any manufactured drawer slides. They are really quite expensive, and are not necessary. While I have used drawer slides in the past, my favorite way is like Steve did, but instead of paste wax, I use a thin layer of Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) plastic tape between the two rubbing surfaces. Works great, is WAAAYY cheaper than a drawer slide, and lasts a long, long time!
“I won’t be able to get a drill in there after the shelf goes in” also “I like to screw the tops on Incase I need to replace it”. 😂
I have a retired sewing table that serves as my cart for band saw and drill press. The bottom is open and not very useful for storage, so now i am considering breaking it up for more shelves or drawers. Thanks for another good video, Steve! I always learn something.
Most of the storage in my garage was repurposed from other items. I used an old aquarium stand as my miter saw stand. Added casters so I can roll it into the driveway when I'm cutting longer boards. It already had doors so I can store all of my sanding supplies in the bottom. When we had our kitchen remodeled I was able to install a few of the old kitchen cabinets in garage for storage and workbench. Still able to fit both cars in the garage
That's why i love this channel! It's down to earth, relatable content. I've been watching you since 2011, never missed a vid. Thanks, Steve!
The Weekend Workshop is definitely worth the money. Ive made almost everything from the course and it was so easy to follow and build.
Yes T shirts with

WOODWORKER IN TRANING.
Honestly were all woodworkers in traning. Theres always something new to learn.
Wow, thanks for that great idea of using the foam to cut on!
A good trick for fitting dados is make an oversized cut, then with your workpiece in the oversized dado you fit the shims in the dado with your workpiece until they're as tight as you want the dado to be. Those are the shims you remove from the stack.
This took a bit of mental gymnastics as I’m very green, but I think I finally got my mind around what you mean! Good trick, thanks!
@@gthetree1 I should add that the oversized cut needs to be made on a test piece and not on your final project.
Love your ‘no-nonsense’ approach Steve. Thank you.
Hi Steve, Did you ever come across an incremental dado jig? It starts off at 23/32 and then goes up every .005" until it reaches 3/4" +.010. This way you can place the thickness of the board into a slot and then add shims to your dado stack.
My workshop should be finished by the end of the month & this will be one of my first projects. Nice & simple without the expensive of dozens of drawer runners.
I just purchased your plans for this. I have taken your three woodworking courses and I have learned so much. I do miss your free plans from the past. Things change. I still had hoped you would give a discount on your "for sale" plans for those of us who have taken your courses. Can't wait to get started on this tool stand.
Hi Phil, I went ahead and refunded your order. Enjoy building the cabinet! 👍
@@SteveRamsey Thank you so very much. I am one of your biggest fans.
Just on time for my new workshop-space!
Really enjoyed this. Nice to see something constructed that is useful, well made, using non-exotic tools. A very good project for almost any level of skill. Thanks.
This may very well be my next shop project. I love my Steve Ramsey lumber cart. It is even more useful than I knew it would be!
It;s a great project for someone setting up a chop. Thanks for sharing, Steve.
would love to see a review of the bandsaw once you've made a few things with it. another great project!
I think he's got the same one I have lol, had it a few years, like most WEN tools it's not the best but honestly it's not failed me yet for average homeowner level of work and hasn't broken or needed any sort of fixing, it just works out of the box, go slow and it'll do what it should do, hard to beat WEN on the budget side for everything I've ever gotten from them
I have the same bandsaw. It works well for the price point. The most use I get out of it is taking it to our pinewood derby shop so the parents can carve the cars.
15:13 I've used these exact casters for four of my 2'x4' shop carts. Thry work great.
Great little simple cart.
As always, a project clearly explained and good to make yourself.
thank you!
Great little project. Simple tasks like this are perfect for developing several skills.
8:15 "I like to have the top screwed down, so I could replace them if I ever need to..." And proceeds to glue in shelves so that access to the screws are not possible. Drilling holes in the glued in shelf will give access though, maybe put holes in before gluing it in?
Once again , you know how to do it for the weekend working and keeping cost down.
I just made something like this a few days ago for my miter saw. Great video!
Thanks Steve!
Man, I still love your style of making things.
great content and expanation of process. I would ad that you could raise the table by adding blocking on the base to which you screw the wheels.
True to your roots! True to your base! Excellent.
Terrific proect. Straightforward. Thank you.
Steve you’ve earned the bamf award today! 🤛
😎
...except that you still can't change out that top because after you screwed it on from underneath, you glued the shelf and center divider in. 😳 My kind of mistake... which is exactly why I noticed it.
This is a good cabinet to have the plans for, so I bought them. I did notice that like me, you have issues with gravity. Gravity always seems to win. Thanks for the videos and knowledge they provide.
GREAT shop project Steve. The only hardware were the casters - perfect! !! !!!
Man after my own heart. I also don’t spend a lot on tools and get by without a problem. Thanks for the video. New tat on inside of forearm?
Thanks Steve! That's a neat little multi-purpose cabinet you could use for many different bench top tools and extra storage to boot. Great idea! 😊😊😊
Great job Steve !! Love your videos for us mere mortals 😅
I've moved on from paste wax (still use it for some things like driving screws) but for drawer runners I use candle wax. I.e. the same wax you use in canning. Amazon sells it in big block. Denser wax that great aids in the sliding. Especially if you use hardwood runners. Those wheels are da bomb. Nice grab there. :bow:
Great video Steve, showing you some love 💕🤙
Thank you!
for staying real!
Terrific project, Steve. I like this one.😊
I love these new style of videos. They are a lot like your courses. I purchased all 3 and was wondering if you planned on making another one? I really enjoy them.
Also cool new tattoo!
Nice, simple, effective. Love it! Thanks Steve!
This is excellent and I’d love a couple for my shop. Good to know the interwebs has cheap and good looking casters because the big orange store charges a couple arms and a leg for just one. Finding them at a discount or second hand is near impossible around here too. Thanks for the video sir. Cheers!
Outstanding and Awesome video as always. I wish I had your calm and easy going demeanor, you are a true role model!
Shop project! And one I needed
Great project Steve! Easy to make & very functional! 👍👍
Beautiful work, Steve! Really brilliant design!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I appreciate the ability to get plans. $27 is a bit steep for me. I can’t speak for others…..very bummed I can’t get them now…will need to wait. I’m used to $7 for simple plans, which I think these are, and $w0 for comp,ex furniture, with templates. I’ll continue my loyal viewing, but will hold off on purchasing plans … for now.
No problem. Inflation is difficult for everyone! I do offer pay-what-you-want plans too. If you find no value to them, you can download them for free. 👍👊
Very well done. Another very useful video. Thanks.
I just bought this band saw a few days ago!
Perfect project Steve. Seems like a relatively easy project.
It really is simple. The drawers are the most time consuming part.
FIRST!!! Love your videos - I always learn something new and frequently review your older videos as a "refresher course" on how to do stuff, like glue ups, etc. ... I'm kinda new at this and still feeling a bit lost. Two questions.. 1. great cabinet design - can you please share how tall it is? 2. what model of WEN band saw did you buy. Very much appreciated, Larry
"Don't worry. I got a system."
Well I wasn't 'til you said THAT! What's next; "Hold my beer and watch this"?!
Love the show! 😉
ALVVAYS! Love them!
I like that design. I really need a couple of tables for beside my drill press and band saw. I think I'll take your idea and run with it.
Thank you for sharing. Good pointers.
2:33 Is this a prelude to your Halloween video? Neighbors said, "WE heard all the pounding, but that happened so often. We had no idea until that smell started..." and "He seemed like such a nice person! Who could know?"
Thanks Steve, another great shop project, and some great tips thrown in for good measure !
Nice Alvvays poster!
This would be nice to make.
For people with a small shop and don't have a table saw also has bad knee, have you ever thought about showing how to make a vertical panel saw that you could attach your Circular Saw too.
Excellent video!
The shop now has a bandsaw back in it... I suppose you're going to do some of those projects like shadowboxes (that was using your scroll saw) or bandsaw boxes and need a bandsaw. I've been on the fence about getting one... so let's see what you're going to do with it... nice to see you making stuff in the shop again. I was just looking at my woodworking courses the other day, The Weekend woodworker, powered up, and weekend Workshop... all great courses BTW.
I purchased that foam board to cut down plywood and proceeded to cut directly through it with my first cut. Did I check the dept, no lol!
Hopefully it wasn't on concrete 😮
😖 Arg!
Thanks for posting such diverse makery. Thumbs up.
I like Wen tools, except 1/3 sheet sander. Have their air compressor, had their drill press. I like that they provide blow apart diagrams and replacement parts.
Steve, please rewind and go back to bandsaw incident. It was a trapezoid-like shape bandsaw box. You pushed it in with the wood touching up and it bound the wood when it twisted and tipped forward a little. It scared you. Flipping the piece might have made it go smoothly. It wasn’t your fault and common to run into but bringing it up to people is important. Wood gotta be flat to table surface or things gonna go bad. It was not the insert plate being weak. It would have flipped up either way.
Looks like a good option for a drill press table too!
Nicely done and I like the design.
Really like this one Steve. Very useful as well as easy to build.
Great little cabinet/stand Steve. I might go make a few of them right now to help clean up and organize my shop. Keep up the great work sir!
Thank you!
Great video very cool cart.
That's better than anything I've ever made 😢
When I was young I dreamed of doing fine carpentry and after a decade of working for a builder I decided to go into fine landscaping instead. 😂
Lots of opportunities for outdoor projects!
As always, great video. Thanks for keeping them coming. Just the right amount of detail and good subject.
Another great video. I love the fact that you haven’t resorted to becoming a tool review channel like so many others, BUT I’m really curious to see what you think about that little bandsaw. Not so much that brand but small bandsaws in general. Like a lot of the folks here, I’m never going to drop $2000 on a full size one. I’ve been tempted to get a small one like that but I don’t want to waste my money if it’s no good.
Thanks again for inspiring me and so many others with this great hobby!
Watching this being assembled for dry fit, maybe you could build an adjustable height assembly table where you can reach across easily.
