After many years of using an abusing my tools by throwing them in dresser drawers, I decided enough was enough. I built this 6ftx2ft storage unit to house all my tools and then some. The name of the game was space utilization. My goal here was to create drawers that would not be come catch alls. This is why I made so many shallow drawers. There is less chance of me stacking tools on top of each other now. In the future I will post a part 2 to this project in which I make dividers for all my tools within the drawers to keep them in their place.
The unit is made with 3/4 Birch ply and 1/2 oak ply for the drawer bottoms.
Paint color on this is Pittsburgh Paints Nautica Line – Majolica Blue
The top was trimmed with solid birch and finished with 4 coats of polyurethane.

I love it!!! And actually Majolica Blue is the accent color I have in my home. How much did you spend building it?
Wow that’s awesome Kevin. Did you learn how to woodwork when you went to SSC?
Oh…I LIKE THAT
They look really good. Top job
Brilliant!!! Greetings from Chile!
Where can I get the plans at for this build?
Nicely done and GREAT tutorial !!
.
O. H. 😁
Hi, can you provide a cost estimation for this work?
I followed your plans but mine sags in the middle when I engage the casters. Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks for the plans btw
Smart design, and skillful build… but you don’t need the meme-esque video clips. They only distract/detract from your narrative. Believe in your own content, man.
Need to update your plans. The middle drawers (K) are 1/2 narrower than the outer drawers (J) but the back supports (E) are all the same. Thanks
good job bro, nice solution
Before painting ply, did you use any sanding sealer?
great video , just what i was looking for. great job
How to find majolica blue paint
Great job 👍
With all of those ball bearing slides, this must be a high budget project.
Do you have the plans?
I love this so much. How well does it work as a work bench as well?
I have a confession. I’m a toolaholic. I’m so weak in a tool shop, I just can’t help myself.
all good, besides the ikea handles. anything else, would be better. diy or recycled would be optimal.
Some nice drawer tricks here!
Thanks for the video and plans (which I purchased). What size screws are you using to attach the drawer bottom to the drawer frame? In the video it shows a box of 1 1/4" but that seems too big for 1/2" ply? Thanks
Great drawer workbench video, just what I need. I bought your plans on Etsy.
Kevin – Check the jig you made for the screw holes for your handles – the handles are crooked.
09:54 Dangerous thumb placement 😮
the ace ventura edit gets a like from me!
Go Blue!
I wish you had dimensions in the plans I purchased. Saw review with same stress but he was going to watch video again and write down what dimensions he can. Shouldn’t be necessary. Shines a dim light and a great production.
Do you have a cut list
Looks great! Nice job. At 1:27 when you say "2 sheets of half inch plywood" I hear a faint voice in the background say "1/4 inch"… am I hearing things? lol
Top Right side draqwer pull is slanted…
10:31 – maybe the screw shine but not the way you used it…
Plans are now available on my Etsy.

As someone who has really bad ADHD, I appreciate this video. You made it very interesting the entire time. Plus, your work turned out really nice!
Dude that’s beautiful
best drawer slides for this? Link for the Rockler casters? Just downloaded the plans. I look forward to the build.
Gostei da forma de construção,mas a organização vem de cada Pessoa.
Any chance for an update on drawer organisation?
Bcp trop d’annonces ! c’est merdique
Solid points for including minions.
Hey that’s a great color. Is that a standard color did you have it a custom made? I wouldn’t mind using that color in my shop if you don’t mind?
Great job! BTW, at 9:55, one day that brad is going to turn and get your thumb.
What was your total cost for the plywood? Is 3/4 still about $100/sheet?
Fantastic!!!
Awesome video
How much did it cost to make it?
Thanks for overlaying the sketchup rendering when working on that specific piece. Sub’d for quality. What clamps are those? You like them?
Go Blue!! Great design. Great video. Totally going to use your design as a base for mine. Thank you for putting together this video. Love the channel.
How thick was the spacer used for the drawer slides? (Video time 12:33)
