I don't get why people don't build cabinets like this?

woodworking is about making boxes and naming it something else

My grandparents were cabinetmakers, and they all had upper cabinets with a spring-loaded pantograph-type swing-arm system. Each drawer opened from its slot to be at eye level. I'm surprised this idea isn't more common, since, as you say, things are forgotten forever.

My garage came with the common “used to be the kitchen cabinets” and I hate them. I thought this was a clever project and in the conclusion it dawned on me that I could just make insert for my existing cabinets. It is “shop” furniture after all. Thank you for the inspiration!

I think you're first woodworking guy on internet that actually seems to look at the tablesaw and actively avoid coming close to it, many people seem to rush and just do quite unsafe things but as they havent had an accident yet they dont realise it

Dude rediscovers the kitchen spice rack drawer, including the use of the dowel midway. 😂

Wow! I'm 5' 1", and I would love your drawer-binets in my kitchen, sewing room and garage! Nobel Peace Prize to you! Thank you!

I literally got a concussion last week, because I stored some 12" cast-iron C- clamps on a rack about 2 feet above my eye level, & they fell down on my head. I now have to do occupational therapy, & have a 4-6 wk recovery time. Im just sharing this so other woodworkers wont do the same stupid thing I did.

I love these! As a short woman, I can never reach the back of my upper cabinet shelves! This would make me so happy! ❤❤❤

[alexreid]

100% agree with you on this. Not only do I build my wood shop storage like this…I also built my kitchen storage like this AND my firewood storage the same. My neighbor thought I was nuts regarding the firewood storage until he saw it in action.

One con is that now I need these over my washer and dryer because I always have to work my way through all the cans and supplies to see what’s in there. I like the idea.

There are a lot of takeaways here John. And I appreciate that even though you said it's not a "how to" video on building drawerbinets, you proceeded to do an entire video on how to build drawerbinets. 🎉
Yay!

By far, THE most unique, elegant and SMART way to advertise your sponsor!

There was a moment there, where I swear you said "Cuddle the parts prior to assembly." I guess this explains why my projects have been so problematic lately, I'm just not giving enough attention to the material's needs!

[DanceintheRaine]

I laughed from 3:40 - 4:39....that struck my funny bone. I LOVE your sense of humour: self deprecating, non-maliscious, honest, engaging VOCABULARY, and delightful word order...a likeable and engaging AUDIO.

Well done.

As a carpenter. Nice job BUT. I RESPECTFULLY suggest on your dowels for tape rolls . You have them back to front. Rolls hang over each other. I say set dowels rods left to right, ( as you look into the box) two bottom two top. The tape rolls can sit on the dials like dishes on a rack. You can then double the number of rolls and never have to move one to get to another.

I’m retiring in two days…a garage redux is at the top of my projects, perfect timing and your ‘drawerbinets’ are under very serious consideration.

So many great, common sense tips about cutting and fabrication that I have used for years for most all functional projects. The one tip I would give you is to rip a 45 degree on the rear streatcher/nailer on the bottom as a simple French Cleat. Then rip another board as the mounting cleat for later when you want to hang the cabinet. That way you can hang them by yourself as the cleat will hold the cabinet so you can screw the cabinet to the wall. No more having to catch a cabinet to the face.

To be honest, I skipped to the end because I do not know wood working. But as a 4'9 tiny woman, I love this idea, I'll keep it in mind for my kitchen remodel.

[pinkytaylor]

I love you style. Instructive without being condescending. You missed your calling as a shop teacher. I am building my forever home with a 90 yo woman in mind (because someday there will be one) and in the kitchen, I only want drawers on the bottom for easy access. Now you have me rethinking the top cabinets too. 🤔

[mikeguerrieri]

Finally! No nonsense case construction and what I consider proper pocket hole screw use.
I worked in a commercial cabinet shop for years and built thousands of cabinets that way. Bravo
