Theres a real beauty in the simplicity of a good honest solid box.

ahh class at the end that is exactly how mates rates works. little while ago i build some bespoke furniture and a bar for a friend i play football with. did it over a few saturdays. took my time and got exactly what he had wanted. in return he fitted lvt flooring at my house for the cost of the materials.

Great video, please encourage everyone to wear ear defenders, as someone who now suffers with tinnitus, I wish I had worn them when I was younger especially using tools like router and angle grinder

Oh the irony of setting up a table saw right next to a socket and the thing not working for lack of power. Need to bring the charger, plug it in and wait, how convenient! 😂😂

Hi Robin this may be a simple box and job but it's how you tackle it that's impressive. Well done from a fellow carpenter.

Thank you Jamie, it's kind of you to comment

So nice to watch a pro do a straight-from-rough-sketch to perfect finished piece. Very nice.

Might knock one or two of these up for my van, nice simple project, I like those!

Nice one Robin. Amazing to watch you work, in an organised manner, as always Suggestions: Add 2 openings/holes on the sides of the drawer for ease of lifting out, once it has been pulled out a bit I.e. at 1/3rd (to pull) & in the centre (to lift) & both, 1/3rd from the top of the drawer, on both sides. This will prevent the box from dropping on one’s foot Maybe even add removable partitions, inside the drawer, depending on the size/s of the tools used Waxing the bottom will help it move more smoothly, particularly when the box is loaded & heavy OSB may wear out. Maybe a couple of half inch, 6mm, wood strips, fixed on the bottom of the outer box (not the drawer) will do the trick. This will require a bit more work & adjustment. Bottom of the drawer will get worn & battered, when removed & placed on work sites in a regular basis Also an improvised stop-lock, even a wood peg to make sure that the drawer does not slide out while the van is in motion/sudden brakes A rubber sheet on top to prevent the machine from sliding & at the bottom, to prevent the box from sliding. Additional safety! Note: I am not a carpenter or a DIYer. I am just a fan who is learning from you. IMO, even if it is just £30, I would like to make it work like it is £300! 😀

Sometimes it is too easy to overthink these things. Simplicity is key and this will serve him well. If he's pulling it out to carry it then maybe adding some handholds in the sides would be useful for him.

Love that. Favour for a favour is the cornerstone of reputation

Quality as ever a brilliant job and I am serious impressed with that Table Saw

I've had the table saw for nearly 2 years, Wonderful tool really handy.

Heart was in my mouth watching the cross cuts with the full fence. Kickback waiting to happen. Please do a video on saw safety mate. Might save a few fingers❤

it wants a couple of strips of nylon on the underside of the drawer so it can slide in and out

Morning! Thanks Robin!

Quite interesting to watch. I would still add some sliders, once the drawer is full of stuff, it might be difficult to pull.

Bench joiners would knock this out in second but I do love a in-depth explanation lol 😂

That router is the business had mine for about a year now mostly used doing the masons mitre

I built a similar simple bathroom cabinet (fits under the sink) with MR MDF and it works fine without expensive drawer hardware. Thanks again for such a straight forward educational video and I think you are probably delivering more practical professional training in key construction skills than most FE courses.

You had to get the hoover in the video, didn't you. Love it. Getting me thinking now "how these boxes could help me sort my life out maybe?"

I have the same Hikoki rip saw. The one odd thing I have noted is the batteries lose charge if you leave them in the machine for a day or 2. Somehow the machine is drawing charge from the battery even when not being used.

What no RC logo put on it.. like the big box little box concept!

Just got a van and looking for fit out ideas so this is well timed. The saw must be quiet to tolerate it without ear defenders. Also interesting to use OSB instead of ply which all helps budget wise. I know there's a promotional element with this but honestly I think you may have suckered me into buying in of these table saws. Ideal for me. Also I notice there's an outfeed rail capability to for safety ripping long pieces. WRT the drawer I think some base runners would make it so much better.

Very nice and simple, thanks again Robin

Rub some wax (candle) on the bottom of that drawer & it'll slide freely even with loads of tools in 👍

Great video as ever, one for the future with your table saw: You can actually get a dado stack for it as Hikoki/Metabo HPT sell the same model in the US. Very unusual for a saw sold in the EU to have an arbor big enough, never mind a portable one! I'm sure you have the 36v transformer as well but if not worthwhile for the table saw especially. Just hope it doesn't break, Hikoi have had mine for almost 3 months now waiting on a part for a burst motor!

I really liked this video. Ive enjoyed all your videos, but where i am unlikely to pitch my own roof, and am very likely to make a box (thank you). I may have missed it, but how did you ensure that the screws weren't in the path of the router when you rounded over later? Many thanks for another lesson

It is a really good router, and not having a power cord makes a lot of difference- just not having to worry about where the cord is, or putting the plug halfway along a cut so you don't get stopped or tripped near the end. Brilliant. All I need now is a pipeless dust extractor

OSB is superior to ply in every way except for appearance. It is more rigid, water and abrasion resistant. Due to the higher spec glues, edges don't need sealing. Just a shame it looks like it does

Won't last a week with that weight on top. Two small drawers and a divider for support. Also for any beginners table saws are a big waste of money. Any tracksaw can deal with simple projects like this. Leave rebates and dados for joinery and then a good router is what you will use

Once you have got the hang of how versatile and accurate a table saw is, you use it all the time. We aren't all beginners, and whilst this may be a simple project, its hardly typical of what some of us do. And if you've got the kit, why not use it if its the best tool for the job. Whilst the router can do the edge rebates on a box like this, it is slower, messy, and dulls the cutter very quickly.
