Machinist Tilting Drop-Down Drawer Tool Chest Made From Scrap
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 09. 2021
- This machinist tool chest was designed to be mounted at eye level above my lathe, so I wanted something where the drawers would tilt and drop down without coming out. It's all made out of an old pine chest of drawers.

I especially liked the high-speed disassembly of the chest of drawers.
I especially liked the shooting and editing. But the narration was even more brilliant.
@@ianoliver3879 yes, that too. the roller is good, as are the manufactured boxes. the drawers are great, but the fall of the unfortunate chest of drawers is already something... I even wonder why he angered the venerable master so much
Aye, someone's been takikg presenting tips from Torbjörn Åhman 😉😂
His grin afterwards lol
"Must be from IKEA..."
The demonstration of how the drawers worked was key to explaining all the weird cuts and shapes. Really explained it well. Pictures are worth a thousands words, but a video is worth thousands of pictures.
Thanks for the comments :)
True! A video IS a thousand pictures!
I spent a couple of days trying to work out how the tilt would work, coming up with all sorts of wierd ideas that didn't work. I spat coffee everywhere when that demo section of the video played - so wonderfully simple yet efficient.
Dragging that chest along the floor, i thought, "he should put some wheels on that", Then I paused the video to take a closer look and changed my mind. A "sledgehammer would be ideal !" I did not expect what happened next. The whole thing fell apart. What a great piece of theatre, how you arranged for the whole thing to fall apart on the tiny tap of a hammer beats me. Great video. Once again you are living up to your channel name, you are truly Epic. I love it.
Thanks Ray :)
The drawers are absolutely brilliant. No, wait a minute...You're absolutely and totally brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Marie :)
Yes!
CZcams was made for brilliant channels like this one.
One of the most satisfying feelings in the world is when you take a slab of dumpster-wood and cut/plane it, revealing the fresh wood underneath.
Love your builds! Can't help pick up a few old-army tricks whenever I see one of your videos.
When you took that last uppercut with the hammer, it was like Wile E. Coyote's everlasting nightmare, he builds all these contraptions and they all fall apart with just a nudge, LOL!
Beautiful! And I really enjoyed that disassembly scene with the little tap of the hammer. It was hilarious!
I saw a small smile of satiifaction when you tapped the underside of the defunked dresser and then by a pure miricle fell to many peices. Well done and i like pallets as well. A creative reuse which i might respectively replicate. Thanks again for a wonderful project. Cheers from Idaho , USA.
Thanks Chris :)
Wow. Just the innovation I needed to find today. Thanks!
0:28 That was a great surprise...it gave me a good laugh.
I love everything about that box! I don't know how l ended on this channel but I'm glad l did. Now I'm binge watching. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the comments, Norrie :)
Another inspiring project to entertain and educate. A bonus was finding you also eat Nesquik cookie crunch cereal!
I like it very much, that he still uses some simple tools.
Just Genius but you know I am a big fan. I just keep re watching x
Only a master wood worker can disassemble a wood chest with only a few well placed hammer taps.
I did see the short on the easiest way to disassemble furniture. You had me hooked, thought I was going to learn something 😊 wish I had a Merlin hammer to do magical disassembles.
My Dad would have really enjoyed watching you work, He was a machinist by trade and also was meticulous when constructing a project.
My late domestic partner would’ve loved these videos, too. He was a retired cabinet maker, and he would’ve been interested in the hardware you’ve made.
You said "thank's for watching" I say "thank's for share your talent" likes !!
i love that you use manual tools as much as possible. not, however, enjoying how you are inspiring me to start woodworking (watching your videos while taking a break in between building my computer desk and nipples deep in sawdust)
You consistently create the most unique objects from the least unique materials. Can’t wait till your next video!
Thanks Raymond. More coming soon :)
Thanks fo video. Such a chest will be excellent for my wife's carving knives. The explanatory segment at 12'45" prompts me to make those pieces and use them as templates for the drawer sides and the carcass glides.
*lovely and practical* 😉👍
Thanks :)
Great build. I want to put pull-out/tilt down drawers in the bottom of my kitchen cabinets for spices, knives, and other culinary implements. If room allows, I may dedicate one drawer to basic hand tools to cut down on the trips to the basement every time I need a screwdriver, pliers, etc.
I just finished binge watching your content. You sir are amazing.
Thanks Mark, glad you enjoyed the videos. More coming soon :)
again absolutely brilliant, I could see that in my sewing room, blow lathe parts, I'd use it for sewing needles and such.
besides the funny beginning (which was unexpected and hillarious) just another piece of art from you. The quietness with which you build these pieces is not only inspiring but also relaxing. This channel has raised the quality of how woodworking videos on CZcams should look like by several magnitudes
Thanks very much, Philipp :)
This will be excellent for carving knives. I can suggest a possible improvement. When I made heayduty drawers for a big tool chest, I cut the slides as french cleats. This method keeps drawers from cocking and jamming, and actually keeps the walls of the carcass from bowing too. Oak makes a durable slide and when waxed the drawers slide easily.
Okay. It's a given that you make the coolest stuff ever... but this... this is just on a whole new level of cool
Thanks Christopher :)
Most satisfying and inspiring channel on CZcams.
Thanks :)
Jason the jeaneous knocks it out of the ball park again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👍
this is exactly how i woodwork awesome. I find an old dresser someone else sees trash but i see oak! or a dinner table even better alot of cherry and maple from them, people throw them out like crazy and easier to pick up and get around then dressers lol
Not only are the drawers impressive, but that plane camera angle is super impressive.
I learnt a lot today about furniture disassembly 😂
Nothing loosen me than looking a talented old-school woodcrafter. thank you
Minute 12:44 - top notch(es) illustration of design in action! Very nice.
That thing you did at the beginning was just the start of a genius video. Well played sir👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Mik :)
Genius!! The ability to tilt the drawers down so you can see into them is just genius!! Love this build along with all the others.
Thanks Caroline :)
😲The drawers fell apart like they wanted you to recycle them ,cheersJason 🍻
Dude, this mechanism is so awesome!!!
Mesmerized watching you work!
Then when you did your demo on how the drawers would work! I was stunned and said out loud, “So that’s how that works!”
Always one of my favorite makers. I make most of my projects from recycled materials so it hits home. People keep complaining about the price of timber but not us, lol
Your build style is really enjoyable to watch, hammering in nails, the hand saw, chisel and plane work, then a hand crank drill? Just proves the point that not everything requires a power tool solution. The project turned out amazing, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Randy :)
Would make an excellent jewelry box!
Those drawers are very cool. I wish my kitchen drawer did that!
That was EPIC dismantling..
I have 3 people on CZcams that I wait for new releases. You sir are still my number 1 x I'm literally running out of words to describe your beautiful amazing skilled work. Love it x
Thanks very much :)
I was very excited to see you posted a new video!! I really enjoy fulfilling my woodworking dreams vicariously through you! 😂🤣
Great project! One of my favorite channels! Love how you set the cabinet up to fall apart, brilliant!
Thanks Scott :)
All these projects of yours are awesome! I would really like to see you convert the back of a mini van into a portable mini workshop!
I really liked and enjoyed your video of this project.
One minor point, I'd like to see the result first and than enjoy watching the path of making it.
Yes look there, now you've made something so beautiful out of an old IKEA box.
The way you did it with the drawers sliding and folding down is a great idea.
I also really like the fact that you painted it red. Red is my favorite color.
Many thanks for showing it.
I have often wondered how to do that as sometimes things get lost at the back of a drawer. I also like the dividers to keep things in their respective places. I'm so very glad I found this!
Currently building my kids a new playhouse from reclaimed pallet wood as I’ve been inspired by you and your various videos! All the best.
Good luck with your project.
@@andrewkennedy9704 cheers! I decided to invest in a thickness planer this year as currently the price of timber in the UK is ridiculously expensive and our work scraps a lot of pallets so I’m just breaking them down and using that wood instead.
@@Cncguru-wl9hn if youre planning on doing more pallet projects look into a pallet buster. They make breaking down the pallets much easier.
@@andrewkennedy9704 cool thanks for the advice 👍
@@Cncguru-wl9hn 👍 cheers!
I haven't seen one of those hand drills in for years how cool
0:32 - That's like hitting the juke box in the sweet spot and it played your tune instantly! Ha ha ha! You are trying not to smile, Jason, but we see it!
This box is so elegant in its simplicity and so well conceived, it is easy to miss the mastery behind it. Such a beautifully simple solution to the tilting drawer with no special hardware. I am marveling at the elegance of the solution. I love it!
It looks fabulous, and so very useful. French cleat in the back, very nice. The felt matches the handle colors. The handles are just right, not too dark, very pleasing color scheme. The way you demonstrated the drawer mechanism for tilting was genius.
just what I needed after a week of hell at work. Thank you for your videos. Cheers :)
I was surprised when I seen you painting it. You always use oil and stain still loved the show.
Just a few strategic taps is all it takes.
Love the function of the drawers, such a simple design and so effective, especially when mounted as you have it. No need for tip toes to see inside that upper drawer. Love it. Thanks again for sharing.
best disassembly process ever.
You Sir are gifted, you keep out doing yourself. Thank you and keep them coming
Thanks Norm. More coming soon :)
Спасибо за 24 минуты отдыха и созерцания столярного волшебства =)
Those close-up planing shots were so satisfying!
Love the tilt feature. Ingenious!
Somehow missed a couple of these. Absolute genius on the drawers. Another excellent piece. Well done and take care.
Thanks :)
Thousands upon thousands of these pine wood cupboards and bookshelves were sold in the 80ties and 90ties. Today they are filling the dumps, because fashion has changed. It's great to see at least a few being used for something good. And as always, your wood working skills are beyond and above anyone else...
Good Sir, you have a delightful sense of humor.
Best 30 second intro. Can anyone watch it and resist the compulsion to quip, "They sure don't make 'em like they used to..."?
That's the first plane-cam I've ever seen in a woodworking video. Nice job!
How amazing! I kept hoping you’d use it for a secret fountain pen collection! I’m amazed how you think up these projects!
That old chest falling apart with a slight tap at the beginning was hilarious.
Our guy is making that Cookie Crisp money. Proud of you my man! ;D
😂 I think that's the first time I've laughed at a woodworking video😂😂. Thanks.
Well Done. Brilliant idea for the drop down drawers.
Very nice modified draw runners, and a great Finnished tool cabinet, the only problem you will have if you keep building tool storage is finding more tools to fill them. Nice work God bless
Thanks Darren :)
That was a pretty good start to the video. I liked the vigeo at 40 seconds in.
I'm a regular viewer! Thanks for the content!
You're welcome. More coming soon :)
Great as always. Appreciated the 2D model of how the drawer mechanism works.
Thanks Peter :)
What are the measurements for said drawer mechanism?
Nicely done. Looking forward to your lamp project.
Hideki is very impressed with the wonderful work.
Extraordinarily talented!
Thanks again for the intelligent mans' guide on how to build something. Head and shoulders above the rest. 🔨 Excelsior!
Thanks Michael :)
I loved it right from the start. That disassably was epic! ;D
Absolutely wonderful and restful to watch whilst being very ingenious
Your a master craftsman without doubt, I just wish my garage workshop was big enough and I was good enough
Thanks Mr Dee :)
Awesome project and vodeo! And that's a great non verbal explanation at about 12:50. At first I couldn't understand why anyone would bother with tilt down drawers, but when you mounted the chest up a little high, the light went off in my head.
Thumbs up!
Thanks :)
One of the best woodworking videos I have seen. It was a real pleasure.
Thanks George :)
Well that's certainly a thumbs up from me 👍🏻 I will say it again you sir are a craftsman
Thanks :)
Brilliant, totally loved the idea and manufacture.
As always an exceptionally precise and innovative build. Great video... But RED! LOL. Thanks again.
The disassemblying of the chester was an overture bonus show😀😀😀
I really look forward to your uploads.
I watch these on mute while on calls. I really love them. Thank you for your videos. I hope they inspire me to create. I admire you.
Thanks Philip :)
Some people would put dovetails in this whole drawer just to show up, but at the end of the day those nails did the same job. People often forget that being a pro is not just knowing the techniques, but when to use them.
Very enjoyable video, as always.
Thanks :)
I like the tilt-down feature, it makes drawers placed at this height useful. A nice way to keep the lathe accessories clean, organized, and easy to reach. Savage choice of color! although Grizzly green would have tied it together nicely.
No, on the contrary. A true artist must always break out of conventional habits. You are in a world of color and you deliberately barricade yourself within the confines of green - why? Try red, blue, yellow, metallic! Break out. That pop of red in his wood toned workshop is a beautiful touch. Perfect.
Absolutely brilliant, massive patience
Well, after I watch this a few dozen times, I'll be able to duplicate that shape for the tip-catch thing (whatever it's called), and be able to do it myself. 😉
Here's a like and comment for the care and feeding of the Almighty Algorithm. 🙏
❤️❤️
Thanks very much :)
0:25 best scene on youtube !
👍
Liked the visual joke at the beginning of this tilting draw video, I know it would have taken a while to set up. Great workmanship as per normal.
Thanks Robert. I think that shot took longer than the whole rest of the build :)
Cracking bit of Saturday morning woodworking therapy 👍
Great job again, really enjoyable video Mate, who needs the soap's when you can watch masters like yourself, have a nice day & Stay Safe !!!.
Thanks Brian, you too mate :)
