hahaha I knew he would find it, thanks for making it more convenient Pops. :)
🤣🤣🤣
I think your son is going to work in the trash can collection industry! Outstanding video with a very professional approach! You gave me the design I am looking for, to build the same thing for a client. I will be using biscuits instead of pocket holes, great job sir!
Bahahahaha, he would be happy driving a garbage truck, no question! Thanks for the kind words! Would love to see your end result!
lot of creativity..well done
Enjoyed the build process very much. You clearly know how to make and use your tools. I had never even seen an edge band trimmer tool until now, very well done
Glad to hear it, thank you!
Clean n neat work. The finale part is so awesome. Clever kiddo
Great job. Loved the ending!
Thank you! Ha, he loves opening that drawer now...
Good tutorial. Thanks!
You are welcome! Thank you!
the same problem I have right now. the babies run to touch the garbage dump. Thanks for your video. very good job!
Haha, thank you! The babies do seem to love the garbage...
Perfection
Thank you!
The ending was great! LOL
Thanks! :)
loved it.
Thanks!
Good video!
Thanks!
glad I'm not the only one who uses masking tape like that!
Next project - Cabinet locks ;-)
Magnetic latch at the end is what's needed!
I Like It I Like It A Lot
WE LANDED ON THE MOON!
Oh my baby!
WOW! I have been searching for a video like this. We pulled out an old fashioned wall oven years ago and have since been using the open space as a 'whatever-doesn't-have-a-home' collection space. I want to build a pull out trash...and I appreciate your confidence in saying that this is DIY. I feel this project is more, do-it-YOUR-self, not do-it-MY-self. SO, with that being said. Can I just pay you to make one for me?? ;)
Glad this was helpful! And that does sound like a good spot for a trash can cabinet. Whether you are serious or not about the request, feel free to email me at andy@projectlab.how to chat about the project. I do think it's more DIY than one might think! :)
This was so satisfying to watch! Do you have any advice on how to develop / improve such DIY skills?
Good question! I would start by watching Jimmy DiResta's tips videos: czcams.com/video/9kyLY1xWrCI/video.html. The guy has been making stuff since he was 8 years old, yet he explains things without being elitist or making you feel stupid. So fun to learn from that guy. I have revisited those videos several times as my skills have progressed. So much to learn!
Beyond that, the best thing you can do to improve is just to get started. An 8-foot 2x4 board is like $4 here in Wisconsin. So you could buy quite a bit of lumber for fairly cheap and start building something. (And scrap it out with little guilt if you're not happy with the result.) You learn so much from just working with the materials, it's amazing. And fun! Good luck!
@@AndrewReuter Thank you for recommending him! I've been on a 2-hour binge so far and he has some great tips.
Great video! Side question - is that a homemade bandsaw? What is the backstory on that?
Thanks! That is a DIY bandsaw based on Matthias Wandel's design. My retired father-in-law took mercy on my bandsaw-less self and built it for me last year. It is awesome! Build details and plans available here: woodgears.ca/bandsaw/homemade.html
Nice job. Any chance you would share the rigging you used for your jigsaw table? Thanks.
Thank you! Can do. Here are some photos of the inverted jigsaw table and a quick explanation: instagram.com/p/BlmgK8hhw-l/
Hope that is useful!
Thanks!
Great build. Although wouldn't an easier option be to build it almost like a deep drawer and just have the trash bins sit in it?
Thanks! It would absolutely be easier to build a drawer as you described, but I couldn’t do that here because of the dishwasher outlet in the back of the cabinet. Was easier to build the cutouts than move the outlet.
Great job, i have a question: what if the trash can become full wouldn't it be heaver the the sliders maximum weight and might break??
Thanks! I'd recommend buying heavier-duty drawer slides to avoid that problem. These are rated to 50 pounds, which is a pretty decent amount of trash.
You look like Quentin Tarantino with an engineering degree.
That's a new take! Related: czcams.com/video/iMJUDyiruGA/video.htmlm44s
Hi, what I'd like to know please if possible is how to remove that trash drawer. our bin is inside a trash drawer that looks like it's slots into a steel rail and it is now thoroughly stuck.
So with the drawer pulled out as far as it will go, looking at the back of the slide closest to the wall: If your slide is like mine, there should be what looks like a little plastic lever there. You have to either pull up or push down (depending on which way there is open space for it to move) on that lever to disengage the lock for that slide. Same for the other side. Should be able to disengage one side, pull that side out toward you to get it past the lock, then do the same to the other side to get that side out. I found that process really frustrating, but it got easier once I had some more experience with it. Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
Andrew thank you so so much. I will do exactly that. Great video info. Really appreciate.
What size are the bins in gallons?
6 gallon I believe! I think it's these from Walmart: www.walmart.com/ip/Hefty-6-Gallon-Handled-Wastebasket-Black/16224391
JAJAJAJAJAAJAJA The baby final video..!
Awesome video but instead of breaking the glued piece why not flush trim with a router if you had one or use your ridgid sander
I think it was because I had to physically relocate those sidewalls to get the right dimension. Wasn’t just a matter of trimming down that top piece. Sanding down the plywood would have revealed the layers underneath the top, nice layer of veneer. 👍
Typical tree carcass manipulator.
I liked the video, don't worry.
If trees take over the world, I'm in real trouble.
This is awesome can you come to my house!!....lol
Bahahaha, thank you! When I get done with my todo list, I’ll head over! 😳😆
if that's not love, i don't know what is :-)
:)
those last 15 seconds though...
Yeah, had to include it. 😁
I’m guessing that you do not own a plunge router?
Word of advice, a file only cuts one way and that is by Pushing it away from, drawing it back towards you, does nothing
NOT diy....neat design and build but 99% of folks don't have the equipment you just used.
I see this comment come up from time to time, and I don’t get it. I’m not using some $10,000 CNC here. I’m using basic tools. Any budding woodworker could do the same with just a circular saw, a drill, and a jig saw. Might take a couple tries if this is your first woodworking project, but if you’re a maker, you gotta have fun with the journey, not just the final project.
Must be nice to have your own wood shop. Not very practical
It is nice, but it's not required. Could achieve the same results with far fewer tools or a membership to a makerspace. The biggest requirement is finding this work to be enjoyable. If it's not fun for you, it totally wouldn't be worth it.
Probably the best reply I've seen on this recurring (and incredibly incorrect) original comment. I have a 2x2 meter space (about 6.5x6.5 feet), because you can't call it a shop, and very limited tools. Could knock this out in a day or two with what I have, mostly because the work is enjoyable and complaining is less so. Great job Andrew - on the video and your response.
This is not diy.
What do you consider DIY?
Way too much utilities needed
And how is this a diy?
Step 1: spend $10,000 on specialty equipment...
The real requirement here is determination. Even an amateur could do this all with hand tools (and CZcams research on how to use them), but both the trash can cavities and cabinet fitting require some amount of precision. Gotta make a mark and then hit it. Still very doable!
You could have just showed your kid not to get in the trash 🤔
