Years ago I built a first piece of shop furniture. It was a sad excuse for a mobile planer stand and severely lacked in both the storage and functionality departments. I really needed something better so I set out to design something that would be an upgrade on all accounts. Imagine my surprise when I discovered my new design can be completely built from just two sheets of plywood with very minimal waste. It's the Two Sheet Tool Seat! I decided to go with drawers instead of a cabinet and chose heavy duty lockable casters to make it mobile. This thing has been an amazing upgrade to the shop, has an incredible amount of storage within, and was very affordable to build since it only needed two sheets. Check out the video and see if it could be a fit for your shop too!
Don't ever stop with the subtle humor, I can't get enough of it. Your projects are always fun to watch and you do a great job making clean, enjoyable content. Keep up the great work Drew!
Thank you very much!
I wholeheartedly agree! Just recently found your channel and it’s already a favorite, because not only is it productive to watch, the jokes make it entertaining 🙂
I love the bloopers at the end. So many woodworking/DIY videos don't show the drops/mistakes/frustrations, only the 10+ minute perfect build montage. Makes it very relatable!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree. It makes me feel better to know there is someone else that screws up then beats themselves up in their shop too.
"Nuts! No, those are bolts." That was my exact thought as you were saying! Great project, thanks!
Every time I watch one of your videos I find myself smiling and laughing at all the humor. Thanks so much, and great build!
Glad you enjoy it!
Same here:D
Almost had a trickle of urine run down my knees from the "live edge osb"
@@Peter_Enis TMI
Great build, Drew. Always 3 things we can count on - something you borrowed from your neighbor, slot head screws and a bunch of "Oh, crap"s. Always fun and enjoyable. Thanks. Take care.
Bill.
You got it. :)
The 2x4 hinges were pretty cool
Oh man, I love the build, but the top and bottom joke almost made me fall off my chair. Awesome as always Drew!
Hehe, glad you liked it
That was my absolute favorite too
I resemble that remark.
The highly sought after glue squeeze out look, lol haha too funny
“Live edge OSB” is a classic. LOL
All my kitchen is OSB ♥️♥️♥️
This whole video is classic 🤣🤣
Can we just get 20 minutes of outtakes. Those are gold.
Drew needs to invest in a magnetic driver bit set!
I just LOVE the outtakes lol. They make me feel slightly better when I encounter silly mistakes or mishaps.
It's amazing that neighbor has any wood left!!! Great video!
The outtakes make me feel better that these things happen to other people who are more experienced than I am. Lol loved the vid. Favoriting it for me to look at later.
Glad you liked it. Thanks
Just got back from your "shop tour". I understand now why your projects and ideas are so clean and simple. No over-the-top, complicated engineering, easy fabrication processes, and comfortable instructions. Since I retired (some years ago) I have been bouncing around the idea of making my "shop" useful again you are an inspiration. When I need a new tool cab I'll be using this design. Thankx - and yes, you crack me up.
Thanks a bunch!
I am so glad to see that you haven't run out of your favorite slot head screws. I am sorry to see that you have run out of the old vintage rusty ones though!!!!!!!!!!! Waiting till next month.
My collection has no bounds. You'll see them soon enough. :)
i just finished mine. I had a bunch of cedar fence pickets left over so I planed them and used them for the drawer faces. It came out so nice and I never would have been able to do it without you. Thank you!
Sounds great!
Can I just say that I love "unnecessary walnut"? You can keep all the flat head screws though. 😉
Yeah, but should it ever come time to sell, people will be clamoring to get this "vintage" box.
If I recall correctly, the flat head screws are a tribute to his grandfather who collected a very large amount of them.
@@RobertLowery Yes, he inherited them. I forget if he mentioned that in a video or if he told me directly via message. Yes, he answers his messages on Instagram and CZcams. Great guy.
@@woodandwheelz He talked about it in some of his earlier videos. I just could not remember if it was his grandfather or father who collected them. Thanks for confirming.
"Ah crap!" Love the light humor and everything you "borrow" from your neighbor. Your videos are top notch.
Glad you enjoyed it
"I borrowed my neighbors walnut cutting board and made some drawer pulls" - Love it. ... The outtakes make me feel so much better about my mistakes. Thanks!!
Glad your neighbor allowed you to borrow his cutting board. Love the design!!!
By far the most relaxing, educating, fun videos to watch. Especially because they are edited so you don't feel like you're watching paint dry. Well done Mr Fisher. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
“Nuts! No, those are bolts...”. Priceless. I’m sure someone has said this before, but you sound a LOT like a young Casey Kasem. ZOIKS!
segment between 9:45 and 9:51 mark....the best!
Keep the out takes coming my friend. They make me feel so much better. It`s encouraging to see that this sort of stuff happens to someone that makes really nice things
I would imagine you've heard this a great many times by now, but thank you for including the outtakes at the end of your videos - they help to reaffirm that the mistakes I'm constantly making in the shop are, in at least some small way, "normal," or at least "part of the process."
Glad you like them!
A plus on the build and comedy. Top and bottom is an instant classic, but the out take reel is even funnier... Great work Drew!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Drew, I needed a mobile cabinet for my new desk top jointer. This was perfect. It was my first time to splurge for Baltic Burch plywood and I don't think I'll ever go back to sanded ply from the big box. It's expensive and about an hr round trip to buy it in down in SLC but worth it. Thanks for the vids and plans.
You bet! Glad it turned out good for ya
thanks for the ending. makes me feel better
I love your humor, learn from your projects and light up when I can modify them to fit my need, or in this case, my neighbor’s need. Your videos are always a delight to watch. Thank you!!!
Thanks, Mike!
Nice. For my version, I'm going to make the drawers deeper and cover the edges of the plywood in front.
Thank goodness for the neighbor having that walnut cutting board. Otherwise I don't know how those drawers were going to open. Just to spite those that would wonder into your shop, there should be another handle added to the top "stretcher" - Or this may get confusing, and I know I would be grabbing it often, thinking it was a real handle. I like this build of yours and need to procure some plans.
Haha, love the fake drawer idea. :) Thanks, James!
I've tried to build a couple of your projects. Following your lead, I've been dismantling my neighbor's fence one or two boards at a time to procure wood for these projects. I'm going to stop doing that though, because I guess he's not too happy about it. At least that's what it said in the letter from his lawyer.
Anyways, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the tips and ideas.
Love your channel! Have missed your humor and the way you explain things so even a novice like me can understand
Thanks for watching!
well i give you a lot of Credit this Tool cart is way nicer than the one you replacesd but i did think the original hinges and overall build was Cool i did Woodworking Professionally for over 25 years and as my Hobby for more than 35 i managed to hold onto and keep reporpousing a couple of original shop Wall cabinets i made and using them as Shop Equipment and storage as a reminder of how far i came over the years eventually i did reuse the hardware to build matching Cabinetry for that one paticular area but was somewhat surprised on how well those older Cabinets held up over time
Glue squeeze out finishes will be the next trend in woodworking thanks to you Drew :-)
😉 haha
Fig Newtons and juice boxes are essential in every shop 👍😂
...it's the glue that holds it all together 😉😂
Yea, you had to go to the home store because I caught you trying to take my plywood subfloor up from my house. At least now I know where my cutting board went. I thought I saw you grab something on the way out.
Nicely done...I need a few of these for my shop. I've totally filled up two rolling tool boxes and one is a 65" husky box with upper...yea, I have a LOT of tools (grandfather's, dad's and now my in-laws). Going through them, but man I have so many freaking tools now...LOL
That's a good problem to have. :)
I like how you’re always so serious and make no mistakes. 😂 Loved the video!
Super serious. And I never mess up.
I like the humor and your outtakes. Time for hernia number 2. Great build too.
Thanks!
I love the outtakes. Just funny.
Drew, you're the best!
Always great, Thanks Drew.
How did I only just find out about this channel? This is pure gold. Love the humour and the projects are real neat.
Beautiful cart. The outtakes were epic! Gotta love when you are trying to work inside a cabinet shell, and you’re playing darts with the Phillips head.
Thanks so much!
You have a great sense of humour, very self deprecating UK style! Keep up the work with amazing content!
I used to work for Lowes and the rusty hatchet is dead on 😁😁😁
Flat head screws.. wait a minute those are slotted button head screws. You lied to me. Love the videos. This reminds me of Kilroy’s ‘Poor Man’s Lista’ that’s behind him in every video. Love that the planer is so heavy you can have all the drawers open and filled. Haha!
"Nuts, o no those are bolts" hahaha nice drawer cabinet!
😁
Love the outtakes.
This is the second woodworking video I've watched this morning calling the unfinished cabinet a carcass. Learned something new today. =)
great video,
also i appreciate the bloopers or mistakes cause the amount of channels I've seen that don't show any form of mistakes (mainly cut out and filmed again) it shows that even the pro's screw up
Thanks Julian, although I'm far from a pro. :)
I think my local big box store uses the same brand of rusty hatchet to break down plywood. Scary!
Great project and video. Thanks!
You're very welcome! :)
Love your work and your humour
Another gem Drew. I love the humor as well as the project itself. And I was glad to see the "slotted screws" return. I kinda thought you could put all of them in one (or several) of the drawers. 😇
The Live Edge OSB doors are beautiful
😂
Great idea about using clamps before using the Kreg screws in the cabs! I’ll try it soon! NOW I know what that stupid Kreg drawer slide holder is supposed to be used for! (I got mine used so i have an excuse not to have read the directions!)... Thanks for the always funny, entertaining videos!
Always enjoy your videos........some great woodworking skills along with your superb sense of humor! Your poor neighbor must be living in a shell of a house by now.
Hmmm I could use a shell for something.
By far my favorite woodworking channel! this is a great build, i'm working on developing my woodworking shop in the garage right now, i think i may just have to build this. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a bunch!
Amazing job! Now I want to ask my dad to build me one haha!
Nothing beats live osb. Makes a great dining table.
Well done!
Makita and Dewalt make these magnets that securely slide over your screw bits so the screws don't fall off. I have a few of the Makita ones on different types and sizes of bits, and they work perfectly. Get a few and save yourself some grief.
Too funny~! Good to see that the neighbor is still so giving to ensure your project success~! :-)
Nice build~!
Drew- Another super project and I made i all by myself! Great plans too. Can't wait to see what you have for me next. Thanks for your good work..
Nice work! Glad you enjoyed the project
What's the size of the plywood?
What's the size of plywood
so glad you got to use the flat head screws ;-)
Pretty cool Mr. Fisher. You ought to give that thing a real roll test though...maybe borrow your neighbors car and a rope if he happens to have one laying around. Always enjoy your videos, thanks for posting.
I like it!
Drew, you are a revelation my friend. so much humour and fun, and so much skill. love it.
Thanks!
Awesome Drew.
Thank you kindly
I've only just found your Channel Drew. I must say I love your videos, your dry sense of humor, and of course the out takes! They actually inspire and reassure inexperienced DIYers like me to actually give it go, showing you "professionals" are only human and not unheard of for you to make the same mistakes we do. The quality of the videos and items you make are superb. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks Gary! Welcome to the fray! 😀
That’s a great upgrade! Another awesome video Drew!
Thanks! 👍
I’d like to get the address of your neighbor. I’ve got a lot of projects (this one included) planned, and that seems to be an excellent place to get building materials. Seems like the price is right, and your neighbor seems either clueless or distracted.
Love this project, Drew!!
I’m so glad I watched the bloopers at the end. I was feeling discouraged because your video was so smooth. Then after the bloopers I thought, ‘ oh yeah, that’s more what I sound like.’
Good old Mr. Fisher doing another great project. Just love it! 🤩
Thanks Jan!
Most impressed with how he drove those 2 flat head screws without the bit slipping off. Nice build dude.
I was pretty shocked myself when I did it.
Laughing out loud, I woke my wife up twice! Rusty hatchet and top and bottom. Great build! Thanks for the laughs, Drew.
Haha, glad you liked it
Imagine my disappointment to not see a single HeMan action figure in either of those bottom 2 drawers. I wasn’t looking for a Grizzlor or a Kobra Kahn, but a basic HeMan and Skelator could easily fit in that extra space. Nice build and the jokes are always appreciated.
😉
Very nice build Drew! I like how you used those playing cards for the spacing of the draw fronts. However, I really think that you should have used way more pocket holes to attach the carcass. That way it would take you a lot longer to put it all together.......... 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
Really a nice job.looks great.
the three year long running joke about stealing plywood was super corny when I first started watching these videos but now I can't wait for it! is there a similar joke with the flat head screws? because who in their right mind uses flat head screws? unless you bought stock in them a decade ago and now have to deplete your supply. Maybe that's the joke!
Seriously though, there are huge CZcams names with followers triple tours but your content is seriously the best. The pieces you build are extremely functional and not over complex and they look great. keep it up!
Hey thanks a lot, Patrick! You can watch my Shop Tour video to find out why I use the flat-head screws. :)
Sweeet. So many tools. Didn't know there was a shelf guide thing also. But I especially liked the cards trick for equal spacing. 😂
Also appreciate the fact you made a mistake and then rectified it on the fly. Ace! 👌🏾
Glad you enjoyed!
@@FishersShop Yes. Subtle humour is also greatly appreciated.
I have a question. What's that oil do? Is it a stain of some sort that you use instead of wood polish?
@@Aristarkhos31 Danish oil
Nice work
Thanks! :)
Love the humour, keep these videos coming
Nice box! And my sense of humor!
"Just two sheets" he says. Have you seen the prices since the Rona? I'm not made of gold, just for shop furniture haha. Excellent project Mr. Fisher!
$8 for stud grade 2x4x8 in Columbia Tn
Well the stuff doesn't grow on trees you know! :)
You are super funny! Love the build!
You're humor is the best. Great build, Drew!
Thanks! :)
nice job the end is my favorite
Great build. You mind sharing your go-to drawer slide for shop furniture?
Fig newtons and Juice boxes! Hear! Hear!
This is the first video of yours that i have watched and I'm hooked. Simple construction and an awesome dose of humor and I'm hooked.
Welcome aboard!
I think the mistakes you show at the end of the video are priceless because it makes me realize the CZcamsrs who make things run into the same problems I do. Great video too.
Glad you liked it
I particularly enjoyed “Nuts! No, those are bolts.”
appreciate your humor, you are a funny guy. Really like the video.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Absolutely love your videos. Only complaint is you don't do enough of them! Nice cabinet too. I especially like the unnecessary walnut!
You are so amusing and clever. Love your videos.
Thanks, Lisa
Gosh I love when a Drew video shows in feed!!
You always make me laugh! And you have an amazing ability to make cheap plywood look good. This cart is great!
Thanks, bud! :)
Love the outtakes. Very good videos; just the right amount of humor and satisfyingly informative.
Glad you like them!
Awesome build sir! Thanks for the video!
You bet
LOve the outakes. We obviously enjoy using the same sort of technical language. Great video too. Subbed.
Thanks! Welcome
Lovely work Drew. Love the way you cut the pull handles in the table saw. I must remember to get a pack of cards as I’ve seen them used so many times for drawer spacing.
The thing with ‘borrowing’ is you tend to return it afterwards... 😉
P.S. flat head screws are classy!
