Good morning! In this episode, I’ll demonstrate how to build a solid drawer, using Baltic birch, plywood and screws. Whether your building drawers for fine furniture or shop cabinets, these drawers will look great, and last for decades.

Holy crap JP, never figured you for a future youtube star!
Thank you for this video as I am about to start building 4 drawers for a shop project myself. I like your drawer ideas and have used them before. Great reminder.
That’s great! Glad to hear it
Baltic birch plywood for shop cabinets seems extravagant!
Oh I dunno. You’re gonna be using them - and looking at them - forever and it’s so nice to work with.
Eh. I dunno. I'm pretty rough on my shop furniture. Birch ply is generally what I use.
Stronger and more stable; don’t believe that is extravagant?
Not just any birch. Baltic birch is the right choice for drawers
@@careymacisaac9165 I don’t like it for drawers. It chafes!
As usual, great video. Clear and concise.
Thanks Jon! The hot glue tip is super smart and makes so much sense. I recently built a flat file for large prints at my studio and used half inch baltic birch plywood for the sides, and quarter inch plywood for the bottom. The drawers are large, at almost 40 inches wide, and I was regretting using such flimsy plywood the entire time. Next time I'm using your preferred 5/8ths for the sides and half inch for the bottom! Have a great day.
Very nice, thank you Jon
Excellent !
That's really nice. I'm going to have to get started on some to get the process down.
One thing I've learned from your videos, John, is the value in finding, and sticking with, a technique that works for oneself. When I go to build something, even if it's a basic shop drawer or cabinet, knowing that my technique will give me a good a result allows me to approach the project relaxed and with confidence, which really adds to my enjoyment. Thanks for all the great information over the years.
Well said!
Awesome! That is one sturdy drawer, Jon, it'll last for ages!
I have always liked the way you make drawers. They look rock solid. And i will follow the way you make them when i attempt it. 👍
Siempre se aprende algo con tus videos, gracias y saludos
Thanks for the great advice and tutorial, you build reall sturdy stuff my man! Loved the extra tip on the hot glue beads to solve any rattles 👌
Glad to help!
Well done.
John, WHERE ARE YOUR SAFTEY GLASSES?! 😁👍🏻 you only get two eyes in this world (so far).
I LIKED THAT VIDEO, IT WAS VERY INTERESTING, THANKS.
Something i find to be difficult is that every time you post a video, i feel like i need to try to do it. I'm out of space or excuses to build more things.
As usual, you give us ideas on how to make things better.
Thanks.
Thanks!
Thank you for the really good techniques
Thanks!
love watch you work, brother: it's like listening to Mozart!! bravo!!!
Great technique, Jon. Definitely is a solid drawer.
Bill
Thanks Bill!
Nicely done Jon! Those are great solid draws for the workshop! 👍👍🔨🔨
Thanks Steve! For sure… might as well build them to last 👍
Very nice and simple method without a load of clamps. I’ll usually tack too before inserting screws. Gone are the days where screws ruined your work.
I really like your videos and info you provide. thx Billy
Thanks Billy!
A lot of good comments in here everybody! 👍 Jon is going on One Million Subs. Let’s get Him there!
Thanks Brother!
Great vid
Thanks!
I think 3/8 plywood is really underrated.
I agree, probably would have used 3/8 if I had it in the shop.
Really nice, clear explanation. Thank you. There’s a large gap behind the drawer back. Is that just a personal choice, or does it serve a particular purpose? Thanks!
Thanks, it helps to prevent the drawer from falling out of the cabinet
Great video Jon! Is the baltic birch plywood yo used a 4 X 8 sheet? Surprised you don't use drawer slides.
Thanks! Yes it is 4 x 8 I like wooden slides and it saves a little money
Great info Jon. I think I asked this once before but the hot glue is that wood glue in their or regular clear? That's a really good idea for drawers.
Thanks Danny, to be honest I really don’t know… I bought a box of 1000 sticks about 20 years ago and I’m still using them 😂
@@JonPetersArtHome if it's a yellow stick it's probably wood glue. If it's clear probably not. Thanks 🤘🤘
14:52 if you wanted to stain the drawer, my gut says I should do it before the hot glue addition. Would that be your recommendation?
I wouldn’t, the hot glue is only on the bottom and back so no one will see it… Stain might interfere with good adhesion
Obviously your woodworking videos are awesome, it's just too bad about the painting videos though. I'd still watch them.
Thanks! Maybe one day… Takes a lot of time, and it might hurt the channel… Maybe in separate channel
I noticed you are using two different table saws. What is the purpose of this?
Can't speak for Jon, but assuming one table saw he uses for his dado blade, and one saw he uses for ripping and crosscutting.
These days are use the Saw Stop for most of my ripping… And the power Matic for Datos and flat tooth blades .
Any one who does NOT use the GRIPPER cutting on a table saw puts his fingers in needless danger .
