scott brown here in today's exciting episode we fix a problem
now this problem has been solved in the past by myself
and that is the draw problem the draw on the right stopped working i think it was overloaded a lot
of dust got in there i had to replace the rails and inevitably the left hand drawer failed too
so that is the problem that we need to solve
now if you are in need of a website well it's your lucky day because the sponsor of today's
exciting episode is squarespace once again now the reason i recommend squarespace i'll go into it a
bit more later but the reason i recommend it is because jess and i used it to build our website
so if you need some kind of online presence whether it's a website or something else
try out squarespace we'll talk a bit more about that in the episode for now
let's look at the plans this one is going to be similar to the previous drawer in that
we're going to have side access so the last drawer worked really well i'm super
happy with how the systainers fit from the side i've got that side access for the sys
1 containers the difference on this one is we're gonna put sys 2 containers in the side one two
three sys 2 containers that will allow me to put like routers and drills that kind of thing
in the bottom and then at the top you can fit a sys 3 container and that's slightly deeper
so there you have it half top down half side access drawer this is like a kind of strange
color i ordered it from ply tech at lockdown last year because around about the lockdown time i
thought i'd be able to come here build some stuff to keep myself busy but this place was all locked
up the ply has been sitting here ever since so that's what i'm going to build the drawers
out
of
so this is why i use the track saw because our job site table saws tend to do this the top is fine
because the blade teeth were kind of going down like that
they pull down the veneer rather than pulling up the veneer and snapping it off like that that is
the main reason we use a track saw but to be honest that's a rough blade that we have on
there it's probably overdue for a change um with a sharp blade and enough teeth on that blade you'll
probably get a clean finish even with a jobsite saw but i'm going to keep using the track saw
using the hikoki router i've had this for quite a while now and uh so far so good uh
if you're interested i might do a review on it but at this stage it's a lot like the makita
with some differences that gaston pointed out on one of our videos together you can check that out
here or there or in the description let's see how this rebate thing is going to work
because the rebates is what's going to make this drawer stronger than the last drawer
so that's the rebate that i want roughly so i don't want that so we have this
Shinwa saw guide here it's basically for circular saws it has another part that
goes onto the circular saw and then it allows your saw to glide along here like a track saw
but what i'm going to try and do is use it as my router guide so
so so the problem with this drawer if you look at this here all i've done is i've butt that ply
into that ply and glued it and screwed it but it's only butt in so what happened is this is
quite a big draw so you pull it out with this but then when you want to get to the back you tend to
grab whatever you can to pull it out further the constant pulling of this broke the divider
i've relied on butt joints when i should have checked it in and that's what we're doing here
so
it's time to install it i think it's all glued together nicely screw together
yeah it looks good
all right now let's talk about squarespace squarespace is an all-in-one platform to
build your online presence and run your business now i pride myself in
the quality of the work that i do that's why i'm spending so much time on a draw
but the best way to showcase the actual jobs that we do is via our website now squarespace
make that easy for me you've got portfolios galleries the images automatically scale to
fit so it looks good on your phone or computer and i'm able to connect my website to my social media
i want this to match up with the other draw they also have heaps of resources
for building a website and that is super helpful if you're a bit of a rookie like we were so if you
were keen to try out squarespace they offer a free trial so there's nothing to lose then when you are
ready to launch your website out into the world go to squarespace.com forward slash scott brown

sponsoring my channel and thank you for watching this episode that isn't quite finished yet
let's install this drawer let's install the drawer
so
every time i do this job it's raining did the holes in the shelf first
so when i got to this stage i didn't have to muck around all i have to do is line the holes up
makes life easier you know and these little clamps here they go up and down and i got them
from bessey clamps i'll talk more about them when i do the cabinets which is the next job
they're like bench clamps for upper cabinets but they work really well for what i'm doing here
super handy
it's working beautifully
i had to do a little tweaking i screwed it on wrong in the first instance but hey
Sys 3 container nicely in there Sys 2 container nicely in here
you might be wondering what this little slot is for
wow wa wee wa i'll make like a little you know holder for it so it just slides in there nicely
but uh it's good to have that somewhere handy when you open up 40 volt battery
ready to go
i actually don't have enough containers
i've only got two of the threes just have to buy more um yeah i'm super stoked with this this is
awesome sys 3's three sys 2's and i can go like this and get them without having to lift this up
mission accomplished
cut around there put some carpet on there
thanks for watching this exciting episode and i'll see you in the next one
Believe it or not this is all clean very excited
hey look! it's got a drawer front! i mean don't look too closely
it's not a 100 percent paint job but hey
at least they look the same see you in the next one
