Thread: WIP Cedar tools storage drawers

Come on Chris, More progress photos and notes please, Cheers, crowie


PS - Bigger photos next time please to assist the old blokes actually your handiwork....

I got a bit of time last week, here is it dry assembled.
Just need the top and bottom frames, and dividers. (Still haven't divided how many small drawers to have)
Then I have to make the drawers.



The plan is to put on here to tidy it up a bit.

(Crowie, i have chosen as big as I can[emoji108])

Thank you Chris for the progress and the bigger photos for the old forum members...much appreciated ....the cabinetry looks very smart for the drawers....

Looking at your array of tools, I totally understand why they need to be locked up securely on base....Cheers, crowie

No dramas)

I put together the sides, but didn't have any clamps/




Seems square enough)

Now that's a very clever use of wedges and using the head well...top job!!

Great idea on using a different clamping system. More then one way to clamp wood together.

hey nice work and a good workaround with the clamps

That cupboard looks as tidy as my shed

Have a bit of catching up to do.

Figuring out where to put the dividers

Dividers sorted,




Got the helper in to assist with wedging the rails.



Get parts ready to start drawers.

Starting to look good, it was about this time I realized I haven't allowed for a piece of steel on the inside of the door, and needed to ding 20mm somewhere(

Kept going on the drawers.

Ready to start fitting




Drawers mostly in, now for the fix.



Decided to add some thickness to the front



Then do my best to find the 20mm like this/

Anyhow, now we are up to date. I also have roped some cedar to make the drawer bases from. But still need to plane and rebate them.

You're doing a fine job there sir and I love the fact you teaching that youngster the art of enjoying woodwork, top marks...cheers, crowie

It's amazing how the tongue helps when the young'uns are in the zone!

cheers
