Great video, Matt! Is there a reason you wait to diverge the front and back of the drawer boxes until after cutting the dados, rabbits, and tenons? Can I cut the backs to final size at the start, not cut the dado, and save a little bit of stock?

@NextLevelCarpentry

Жыл бұрын

Good eye for efficiency and detail Andrew. I think the only drawback to the sequence you ask about is that you'll need to keep track of those parts starting earlier in the process. It's probably worth it and, in some cases, the little extra stock you'd save might make the difference of not having to buy a whole extra sheet so, by all means, go for it! Keep in mind that you need to make sure the width of the backs matches the top of the dado on the other 3 drawer pieces to get a good fit of the drawer bottom. It's not that hard to do, as long as you're mindful of it. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one! Best, Matt

@Contrail4

Жыл бұрын

@@NextLevelCarpentry Thanks for the reply! Something I just learned trying to do this is that you have to consider that your 1/4" dado for the bottom is not going to be exactly 1/4", more likely a bit smaller. So if you cut your back exactly 3/4" shorter than the front (1/2" clearance + 1/4" dado) you might end up with a back piece that's too short. Using the dado as a mark for cutting the back to size is actually a really convenient way to get a good fitup if you don't mind losing a little bit of stock per drawer. You can also raise the blade at the end of the dado cutting (38:00) and make the cut there.

@NextLevelCarpentry

Жыл бұрын

@@Contrail4 Spot on! It's an easy enough problem to work around as long as you're paying attention like you are. Another aspect of it is that, usually, I find that any material savings are a moot point and the only actual result is that the leftover scrap/offcuts I throw away at the end of the project are just a little smaller. But, once in awhile, it means the difference between using .98% of one sheet or 1.08% of a 2nd one which makes a parsimonious approach to cutting drawer backs totally worth it! 🤓

I'm cabinet maker/ carpenter of 20 years experience and I'll agree that this was 80 minutes time well invested. You never stop learning and it's great when one of us can share so articulately. Well done!

I say if you don’t like the video move on and keep rude comments to yourself, but anyone can say anything and not be held accountable. Unless someone is doing something unsafe or you can add something useful. Be a different story if they were face to face. And you made a good point, this guy is basically giving a woodworking class for free.

Hey man, you mentioned that you're known for over-talking things. I appreciate that. That's a good thing. I'd really enjoy running a few months of jobs with you. These videos are the next best thing.

Then do it as best you know and then do it again better. I've been in my garage "workshop" with minimal, not completely accurate, tools.... buying culled wood and cutting and cutting until I can get a piece of wood "near" the dimension I want. And then I do it over and over and over until it almost feels natural. There's a load to learn here in this space.

If you leave the dato on the drawer back, it will hold the bottom without screws, In fact, so strong you can stand in the drawer and it will not fail, even with 1/8" material. On the drawer sides finish nails can be used instead of screws, much cleaner look. Be sure to glue all joints and especially the bottom.

Hello Matt, At the 18:00 minute mark you mentioned not using a Riving Knife on your table saw. I have been building cabinets now for over 40 years and have never engaged or entertained the idea of a Riving Knife... I too like to manipulate my “Sheet Goods” and feel the Riving Knife gets in the way. To this day I have not had a pinched Saw blade from ripping “Sheet Goods”... Safety First, Always... Great Video, Greg

I think there's work habits that build over time for guys like us: never had a riving knife and work safely without one. Lots of people drove millions of accident free miles before there was ever such a thing as anti-lock brakes too. Take away antilock or riving knives from someone who learned with them as normal and they're bound to have issues. Safety first with what you're used to maybe is a good mantra? Thanks for your comment! Best, Matt

Just an excellent instructional video that takes us all the way to completion of the work unlike so many other videos that give us hints but never teach the whole process. Long but very complete. Many thanks to the author.
