Ok I have been woodworking for longer than you have been alive and you just showed me something that I’ve never heard of, Domino’s. I have built fine furniture and cabinets most of my life. So much so that I would purchase 5 gallon bucket’s of glue for biscuits and dowels. I’m honest that I’ve never heard of a domino. Great video Brian

Where I am at, biscuits are the thin football shaped inserts, and these dominoes are much thicker and literally shaped like a domino
@georgewacaser4559

I use biscuits as well, but I believe another difference is biscuits ( at least the ones I have ) are made of particlewood, whereas dominoes are hardwood, making them stronger.
Great looking cabinet. Awesome drawer pull ! Domino cutter is really nice. A cheaper alternative ( arguably not as strong a joint ) is a oval biscuit cutter. I have one from hobo freight, it works well, and doesn't cost much.

You’re gonna drive the ladies crazy making dominos in socks. LOL. The cabinet looks fantastic. Is the drawer and table tight enough that they won’t move while you’re driving?
@BrianWatersOutdoors
Жыл бұрын
I did that on purpose😉😂 and I also built the drawer box about 1/8” too wide so it’s a tight fit. Takes a pretty decent tug to slide it out so it should be fine when traveling.
Nice box. Now you need something to store your fishing rod and tackle so you'll always have it available

Nice job...very clean design. Next project...charging the power station with solar?
@BrianWatersOutdoors
Жыл бұрын
Not too worried about that since this setup is really for short term trips. I will carry a portable solar panel, but between the goal zero and another 100ah battery under my bed should be more than enough for what I need👍🏻
Which drawer slides did you go with? Did you use the same ones on the pull out tray/shelf as the drawer? What’s the dimensions/size of the tray and drawer? I like this design and would like to build one. Thanks Brian!
@BrianWatersOutdoors

They are just standard full extension drawer slides. The bed drawer is 18” slides and the cabinet drawer is 10” drawer slides.
