I've actually watched all of these vids already but since I tend to view them multiple times it's nice to have them all in a list like this. Thanks for that. My next project is going to be a valet piece for my son's birthday. An item similar to the Bloke Box in many ways. I;m sure this play list will come on handy for that since my project will include a small-ish drawer, again, on the likes of the Bloke Box in size and scope. I can't tell you how much these videos benefit me while doing this stuff. Thanks again and again.🙏🙏

Clever stuff, Maynard! Thanks a bunch.

The tapered stop is great! Never seen one quite like that.

I’m building an addition to a multi-purpose workbench that will incorporate 9 small drawers for small tools and odd parts… I don’t want them coming out and spilling contents all over the shop! I will definitely try the washer-and-dowel design, and the dowel-within-a-dowel stop for the top drawer will be fun to try! BTW, the use of magnets for the two-way drawers under the Cosman bench are really clever. Great and timely video!

Neat idea. Perhaps you could use opposing magnets to drive the inner dowel down. Use a square dowel and taper the leading edge so the drawer can self-insert.

@ Robcosmanwoodworking You could have used two small magnets. One on the case and one in the plunger. And face them with opposite poles so the repel each other. Then you don’t need the string.

Holy crap. It just came to me. The idea and put opposing rare earth magnets to push the inside dowel down so that it’s down unless you force it up to release the drawer. There you go Rob. Free idea. Lololol

Great techniques shown for a common problem. But I believe a professional woodworker would have little issue with making drawer stops. If this was meant for novices, then the use of these professional tools would be a problem as they would be unaffordable for the common DIYer. I would so like to be able to afford a lathe as used in the video 🙂 But thanks for the video. It's still helpful 👍🏽

All around good info. Suggestion; the last stop in the video, the one for a top drawer: why not make the internal piece out of brass, aluminum, or some other soft metal that has more more weight than the little piece of wood?

Thank you for your efforts, Rob. Could you show us how you fit hinges, please? I've never see you do that.

i am fascinated by your ideas and your way of working. especially to share this knowledge with the world, thank you! I wonder how about some kind of wedge in a wedge-shaped countersink connected by a hinge, or a screw like the first drawer!? or a spring between the ceiling and the small dowel at your solution?

sorry to bother again... but i can't stop thinking about it. so one last question what about cutting a bevel on one half of the small dropping dowel to be able to rotate it 180° as needed, and some kind of channel at the holding inside surface from the outer dowel where maybe a drilled trough bamboostick or something like that (through the upper part of the small dowel) which could drop inside the channel to lock it/prevent it from unwated selfturning?? i realy hope you could follow my poor english, and guess what i mean!! thank you again, bye

With the stop you are working on at 15:00, you could put a spring above the insert to avoid using string.

Hi Rob....one more time an amazing video in how to do a hi level woodworking...at 10 min until 13 min you did a special drawer stop...thinking like a lazy guy do you believe a 10 mm magnetic countersunk washer screwed at carcass and just a screw at corded dowel can works?So just a hole for the cord pass and a screw locking the cord in place...to take off just pull the cord

@RobCosmanWoodworking

Жыл бұрын

Yup I think that would work.. Give it a try and see.

In the past you have used pen springs in some interesting ways... Would there be any drawbacks to trying to use a spring loaded system of some type? Perhaps a trigger looking system, with an angle sloping backwards, so that when you push the drawer in it pushes itself up, and then pushes it back down when you try to pull it out? Maybe add a bevel on the back of the trigger so that you can push it up a little, then it will ride over the drawer if you need to take it out?

Rob. Looking for your recommendation on my next plane purchase. I currently have a Stanley Bailey no 3 in excellent condition, a Stanley low angle jack (newish), a Bridge City HP-12 and HP-9v2 as well as a few other specialty planes. What plane would you recommend I purchase next? I know you love the 5 1/2 but since I don't have a larger plane I was thinking something along the lines of a 6 or 7. or perhaps I should up my smoothing plane game to a 4 1/2?

Could you tell me the "specs" on the beveled drawer stop? Is it 45 degrees and the depth of the piece? I'm going to employee this for some drawers I'm working on and the information would save me a lot of time experimenting to find what works best.

A more elegant solution to the dowel within a dowel + string would be to make the interior "dowel" from a brass rod -- similar to the solution you used with the pencil drawer in the stand up desk. I have used a piece of wood with a hole in one end, fastened loosely with a screw to the inside of the case so that it can swing up to remove the drawer.
