I want to build a drawer so I can store power tools underneath the workbench a
little bit better than this and it's going to roll on some old roller skate
wheels and I'm going to make it out of some scrap wood I've got here the bottom
of this drawer is just going to be some old piece of OSB that's got kicking
around
so the way this fits together is the rabbit on the front hides the front edge
of these pieces as well as the front edge of the OSB this is the bottom side
and down in the back I've got this really ugly scrap of spruce plywood
which nobody's gonna see except for maybe 100,000 people on YouTube that
work piece getting away on me was kind of annoying I'd be ready to nail this
bottom on except I still need to figure out how to put the wheels on here and
those are going to be inside the box instead of outside so I don't hit
anything with them. The wheels are going to mount on their axles between two pieces
of plywood like this but these axles are actually a little bit on the short side
so I've recessed the plywood a little bit to make it a little bit more room
for the screw head and that gives me a bit more width in between. Now the other
thing I need is some washers in here so that these wheels don't end up rubbing
against the plywood and instead of actually using washers I've actually
kind of wait most of the ply with just a little bit leaving just a raised part
here so that the raised plywood acts as an integral washer now it just have to
cut the rest of them
and finishing up the corners with a chisel after drilling all the pilot
holes I took the bottom off again to apply
glue and then put it back on and screw it on for good I used some clamps to
make sure the bottom is pressed tightly into the rabbet at the front
and next I'm making a handle for the straw out of some old firewood I was too
lazy to set up a rotor for running over the corner so I'm just doing it on a
belt sander
