How To Make A Modern Cubby Storage Unit | Woodworking

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I make a cube storage unit for my lounge. It's the second piece in a set, to match the tv cabinet I made a few months back. It uses plywood panels for the main body and finger jointed timber panels for the drawer box fronts. The draw boxes are made to be removed.

    What a great build to complete my RLM binge on. That's it, both channels watched up to date and loved it all. It's been very interesting to see how you and the channels grew and changed over the past few years, starting DIY, going artsy, and finally coming full circle (with more refinement and skill) ...and all without a table saw ;) Great stuff mate, keep it up and on to 100k one day. Way to represent Aussie makers.

    Adding felt to the sides of the drawers (or drawer openings) would help with them binding when you are putting them in and out. It would act almost like runners and keep from scratching up the paint.

    Removable bins are the absolute way to go for toy storage. One suggestion would be to add hand holds into the sides of the bins. When our daughter was a toddler, we discovered that handles made a big difference for her ability to manage bins with two hands. The easier she could shift them, the more likely she was to put the bins back.

    I use that technique whenever I can either hide it or "make it a feature". Very useful when your clamps don’t reach. But do remember: glue WILL stick to the screw. So remove it before it sets up completely. If you wait too long you will break the screw at the point where the stem turns into the spiral. Easy to hide with a shorter dowel, but the broken part is in there forever. Might be inconvenient if you do this when you are making your workbench top... and than need to drill a dog hole in that exact spot. Don't ask me how I know this. :-( But removing it too early may be a problem if you are forcing bent wood into shape. A thicker screw gives you a little more time before you need to remove it, since it is stronger. I would recommend 6 mm screws for this. 4 mm is not enough.

    Hey Robin, Brilliant work as always! Just a quick question. Have you considered using a paint sprayer? In some cases it can give a more even coating of paint and can be easier to use. Anyhow, looking forward to the next video!!!

    very slick Rob, please don't take two-man lifts foregranted though, I wrecked my shoulder a little over a year ago lifting something not all that heavy, I am still basically a socially acceptable junky going through physio and probably going to end up undergoing surgery. I know it seems unmanly asking for help but....... I didn't and my life hasn't been the same since.
