Stumpy, you introduced Taylor Toolworks to me via your videos. What a great find. I use them all the time. Thanks and I hope you're well!

...and now I want to see you do a Project Farm-style test on sanding discs. Perhaps putting a 5lb(?) weight on your orbital sander (which is locked in a sliding frame, of course!) and seeing how deep various brands and grits of sandpaper can grind end- & edge-grain soft- & hard-woods in 10 minutes. ...or something else over-the-top like that.

I'm not sure if your channel is where I found out about Taylor Toolworks or not, but I've bought several things from them over the years (including Cubitron sanding discs) and been really pleased with their service.
I need to say it, I've learned woodworking with youtube videos, your channel is propably top 2 reference when I need details, and it's not n°2

This channel and King's Fine Woodworking are my must watch channels
Not only a great tip and tutorial, but I really appreciate you recognizing that a router may be more accessible than dados for most of your viewers, or at least those for whom this video is most relevant.

Good point, I have a sawstop table saw, and it’s a royal pain to switch out the safety system when using a dado blade. This is a much easier way to work

If you have a split fence router table you don’t even need the sacrificial piece. I love it.

On the European side of the pond, saws are made so that dado stacks can't be used, so it's not an option anyway.
I’m a 51 year old uk carpenter, been watching KZread for many years. This is by far the best channel on woodworking in my opinion. Keep it up guys 👍
I've been watching this channel for almost 8 years before I built my first shop and really dove into woodworking. I doubt I've missed a video since and have found a lot of great small businesses to support at the same time. There is still no other channel on YT like this one. Keep up the great content and thank you for everything I've learned over the years. Even better.....I still have all 10 fingers thanks to the great safety tips.

I never bought a table saw because of his safety tips. I have mixed feelings about that. But I'm chaos. 10 fingers club though.
This guy is one of my favorite woodworking teachers. He’s genuine and sincere, smart and interesting with many original ideas. Even though he promotes certain businesses it’s because he believes in them and their products. I don’t get the self promoting vibe from him that I all too often find on other channels.
Tongue and groove is the way to build. The machining is so simple!!
Reminds me of the old 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 table saw set up for joints. You get the groove in drawers though. Nice job!

I was thinking the same;they’re my go-to for all drawers. Now I’ll have to reconsider…
I'm thinking that I'll build the router table that you just posted a video for and trying this method. I have some shop drawers I need to make and what better way to practice (and screw up) than shop furniture 😂. Thanks again James for being a wonderful teacher and yes the 3M cubitron sand paper is the fantastic-I will never go back to the cheap stuff.
Great tip on the drawers since I have a router table but only a 8-1/4” Skill job site table saw - now equipped with the BOW 48” fence extender you reviewed. 👍 I’ve used the router bit which creates similar interlocking joints in one pass to make a drawer but this approach looks easier in terms of set-up. As for the Cubitron sand paper, I was recently working on a hardwood shelf project with my woodworking club and brought along some of the Amazon sourced 80 grit paper I’d been using when another member gave me a sheet of Cubitron. The difference in the amount of wood it removed was, by comparison, nothing short of amazing! I’ve always been an admirer of 3M products because they solve problems in new and clever ways, like the Command adhesive hook system. Have you ever used a Command adhesive strips instead of double sided tape for projects?
I built nearly all the drawers in my house using this technique. They're very strong and easy to assemble. I don't think I'll ever build them any other way.

Rob Cosman has a video where he does dovetails in under 4 minutes. So if you can get yourself to the point where you can do them quick, that's the way to go
I have assembled drawers using a drawer lock bit, but then struggled to hide the drawer bottom groove I cut, making little strips to stuff in the resulting gaps. It worked, but... This simple, one bit joint made with tooling that everyone should have in their inventory is ingenious. As easily as it snaps together I can only imagine it's strength with glue and 18ga nails or staples. Brilliant, James. Simply brilliant.
Tks, simple and effective! But!!! The coffee mug!!! Really!!! 🤣
Another banger Stumpy. Thanks a million on your way to a million!
Thanks James. I'll try this after I watch the video a couple more times. It takes a while for lessons to sink in to this old brain.
I have been a subscriber for a few years. I started watching when I retired and started amassing the various tools I needed to begin this woodworking journey. Yesterday I used my router table and this video to make a box for various measuring tools in my shop. Your videos are excellent! Thanks for the education. Keep them coming!
I'm 34 and just starting on getting some tools and building my first pieces. Gonna keep watching your channel for more great info!
Two thumbs up and into my bookmarks!
After building my DIY table saw, I decided my next project would be a tool cabinet with seven drawers and two shelves at the bottom. So, I used this same joint in all seven drawers, but I didn't even care them having that little square hole in all corners 😊. It's been more than ten years and they are as strong as ever. Thanks for sharing all your expertise James!
Glad to see you put drawer faces on your cabinets behind you. looks great.
That joint is fantastic. My dad's Gerstner tool chest was assembled with those joints. It's as square and sturdy as the day it was made.
Great video and a neat technique for box building… i’d love to see the same procedure demonstrated with a dado set!
Great video. Many other methods I've seen require that you make a cut with the stock standing on end which always seems riskier to me. Also, some methods require that stock is exactly 1/2" or 3/4". This avoids both issues.
Ive been woodworking for my entire life, and this is the most amazing thing ive ever seen. I love this thank you
Wow! Very good, Mr. Stumpy! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Thank you for being diverse in your videos. I love that you do cool tools, but also do tips and tricks, and safety videos. I've learned quite a bit from you.
This is woodworking. Thoughtful yet simple. Adjustable tolerances where needed. Sturdy and beautiful result.
Love this. Built a set of shop cabinets with this technique from your video on same topic a number of years back. Good stuff.
I just made my first test box with 1/2 plywood, and I can say I will be building new vanity drawers using this method. Thanks Stumpy!
I have always concepted the build in my head from start to finish and struggled with how to hide that Dado groove on the side without a complex process,,, you just showed me it's the type of joint i'm using that is the answer and not straight forward box joints. Thank you!!
Good stuff! This is the type of joint that we would have used for internal door frames!
Wow what an easy way to get something done that was way to difficult before. Thank you
I make a lot of boxes when I do my woodworking and you just solved one of my biggest headaches, thank you so much!
Excellent demo video James! I am definitely bookmarking this one for later viewing! 👍👍🔨🔨
Great video James, cheers. If you could have a diagram of the dimensions for us to freeze frame in videos like these, that would be ultimate 👍
Thank you, Jim. Super Idea, will do this with a dado. Much appreciated.
Really helpful and timely video. I am just starting on a set of drawers and plan on using this idea. Thank you for sharing.
When I decided to get into wood working for a hobby, late in life I looked at what my grandpa did with our kitchen cabinets since I knew he made them for my mother. I was curious how he did just what you showed in this video with the drawers he made my guess is that he did something like you showed only with a table saw. He made a lot of fine pieces with only a cheap craftsman TS.. I tell that to myself when I think I should upgrade from my job site TS which is still better than what he used. That what I have is good enough and do not need a better saw I just need to get better at my technique.

Agree. When I first started woodworking I chased the next great tool. Now I realize that a skilled craftman, a master, could use the simplest stuff to produce a masterpiece. I watch videos of people in the poorest places in the world, no shoes, using self-made, cannabalized, inventive power tools with which they turn out woodworking marvels. I’m working on being that person: more excellence and refinement, less shop “bling.”
Thanks, I just got my first router table and am currently assembling and setting it up, and this kind of thing is pure gold! I was definitely looking for tips and tricks and new ways to use my new router table.

Thanks very much James! Fabulous idea.😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks. You make some of the best KZread content. Feels both like a tv show and we're just in his (beautiful) shop talking shop.
Thanks James! Time to get makin'!
THANKS for this explanation and demonstration of the lock joint. Over the last four years I remodeled my kitchen. For my lower cabinets I made pull out shelves (basically drawers). Ended up making over 50 drawer boxes using this technique. It works. As you said, the boxes stand up without glue. Thanks for the video.
I love this way to build my drawers. If you do not extend the groove until the very top, it will even looks like the box is magically fitting together. Of course, then you have to spend more time, but the results are very nice. From the side, you have a clean surface, from the top, it looks like you magically put things together, still it adds the strength on pull and is very easy to build.
Fantastic! Thanks a bunch for the tip, James! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Was almost magical how the groove hid itself. 👍
I really enjoy and respect your work and your professionalism into teaching us. Highly appreciated content.
I love this. I have learned a lot from your videos. I am definitely going to be using this method on my next project.
That's brilliant, and your the reason I tryed cubitron 2, and a year later its all I buy, stunning stuff! (No dumb questions from me today)
Thanks for sharing, will try this weekend.
Cool idea James! Thanks.
Brilliant! Definitely using this.
Once again a fantastic video, thank you. I was just about to build an other shop storage cabinet.
Thank you. Always a wealth of knowledge.
Love this! I've never built a cabinet or drawer yet but I want to (saved video).
Nice joints, would like to see this on a table saw with dado blades since I don’t have a router table.
Thank You for your teaching
Excellent video! I'm just getting into woodworking and these techniques will really help!
That is awesome!
Well this is convienient timing. I have a large cabinet to build and have been looking at joints for the carcass as I don't want to use pocket holes. This looks super approachable even with a palm/trim router. Thanks for sharing!
Love cubitron!
and this is why I'm subscribed to such an awesome channel! Thanks again!
Bravo, Maestro!
Very nice technique. Having not seen how it would be done on the table saw, this method looks easy and simple as well as reproducible. Thanks for all your videos.
Are you able to make a video on how to efficiently and safely do this on a table saw with a dado set? Would be much appreciated to learn!
I made all my kitchen drawers using this joint, turned out great and was quick and easy.

You probably need a good router bit when doing lots of them?
I like it. Well thought out, thank you.
AWESOME!!
That’s sneaky! I like it.
I've got to work on this looks great!
Thanks James
Very cool. I think I'm going to buy at Router table. Also, even though it is an ad, I think the 3M Cubitron abrasive discs are something I'll have to try out.
I thought I was super clever when I "came up with this idea" a few years ago making drawers. Turned out it was a super common way to make them after a quick trip through KZread.
VERY cool! Thanks for the tip!
Now THAT is so very very useful!!!
Great idea. I'm going to try that.
I've finally seen a few videos about locking rabbit joints the last few months. I don't understand why it is finally now gaining popularity? 4 years ago, there were no videos, when I had an old dresser drawer falling apart from too much pulling and was inspired too use locking rabbit joints to build a pair of nightstands, as my first ever wood project. They are beginner level easy, router or table saw, dado or no dado, and probably stronger than dove tails. The only Con is the little nubs on the bottom of the front and back sides, they easily break off, but once everything is glued there is no problem. Anyway, glad to see KZreadrs finally recognizing this great drawer joint! Its all I use for my drawers.
Have seen the specialized bits for this, but great to know you can do it with just a straight bit.

The bits aren't the same.
It's a good joint. Made my first drawer very similar to that.
Awesome tutorial! It could also be mentioned that there are routerbits specially deigned for the first cuts as well!
Great stuff Stumpy!
thank you , this helps me a lot !!!
I have to say I like the out of the box way that you build projects and your instructions actually work and are easy to follow. I was wondering if you had ever made removable inserts using something like a drawer lock bit for a table saw sled?
I freaking love it!!!
Great approach to the problem.
That really is an awesome way to make a box! I just wish wood wasn't so expensive these days.

That sandpaper is greatttt
Awesome work sir! I just keep learning from you
Same trick works for half blind dove tails too if you position the groove within one of the gaps
Can you show it doing this box using a table saw?

Nice! I’ll give it a try.
Wow James, a very helpful complement to your earlier video on lock rabbit joints. For those of us who DO have access to a table saw (& radial arm saw) dado stack, but DON’T have a router table, could you please (!) show us how to do this on a table saw? I can’t even imagine attempting this with just a router (without the table), even with a jig for stability.
