just got grant here remember my old drawers here well this
one broke so in today's exciting episode I fix it
alright so the problem with this drawer that I hadn't addressed early in the year the lock
stopped working on these drawers there's this a little middle part that's kind of snapped
off because the drawer had just enough room to rock back and forth as I drove so that rocking
back and forth eventually snapped the metal off as soon as I uploaded the video talking about
that the guys who I originally bought the drawer rails off kindly sent me a brand new rail seat
here is that real [ __ ] by the way so hear me so this is a 227 kilogram rail lock patch on
packed in the 17th of March see I've had this for a while it's pretty obvious is a considerable size
difference that isn't an issue in itself however this is that thickness here is thinner than this
thickness here which means this box probably won't fit so that's part of the reason I left this for
so long I've got to build a new draw for the new rails all right now if you're looking straight
at the back of the van this is the basic opening size now I check the width before and that width
was 368 millimeters and the drawer rails the new ones 21 millimeters in thickness here so two of
them is 42 you take that off three six eight and you end up with three 26 a 26 and I've got 12 more
plier so that's gonna come down here like that 12 mil so times 2 is 24 and you're left with 302 in
the middle here now let's sustainer there's about 296 so 302 will allow 6 mil of clearance if the
sustainer is 296 which it is that's that's pretty much the most important dimensions
last night I was thinking about doing this drawing how I'm gonna actually build it and
how it's gonna hold the boxes I was thinking why I make it just like a box like it always
was I could add some improvements I've got my scientific drawing said let's see what we can do
that rains pretty bad rather than have all the sustainers drop in the top of the box
and stack on top of each other I'm gonna make them go into the side of the drawer like that
like shelves my drawing isn't really helpful but it'll make a lot more sense when I put it
together okay so they're partitions that go vertically down here and I'm gonna slide in
these shelves later but I don't want to just but the shelves through the partitions I want
to sew this little track saw accessory here for the makita plunge router base was recommended
when I did that plywood wall with pie dough so just locks into the track and
all right time to put this thing together
do we have a drawdown just about mostly gonna put some shelves that slot in there this part
I've got an idea for this one but I'll do that later now the drawer rails here's something I
wish I did differently I wish I made the top removable because it's tight in here
it's a little tricky you've got to position the rail the first step is to put it pretty
much where the rail will be when it's in the drawer now I can make the screw holes here
all right now we take these off again and put them in the van
there's another thing that I learned I don't know if you can hear me so you have to make
sure they're parallel band put out some very scientific this piece of wood is the
same width as the draw it's a good fit in order to get that I had to pack it off my
plywood here I did the same down here another thing that contributed to the failed raw was
it had too much movement once the draw went into where it goes it had nothing to stop it
going too far and that put pressure on the lock this is going to help prevent there
oh the drawers in and I've got a big mystery No
well here you go guys draw complete all the loops help you get each container easier and
then I've marked the makita ones here so I know what's in there so at a glance it's the
air drill bits multi tool and I'm gonna get those plastic cards that you put in the fist
alone and then I can label them as well and the top also fits sustainers very snugly this is a
sis - and these are all sis ones and the same is true for this one and that one they all fit
sustainers and then over here at the back I had a plan to put heaps of glue troops down
there with a glue gun but I'll see how they go with that currently they're right here now the
bigger boxes that I had before and now on this side jigsaw right below it the two Hitoshi guns
18 gauge 16 gauge and then I got the router in there and that's on top of the tracks or
and it's all labeled there as well when that's on top you can still see what's inside the draw
sword five mil thick clasp thingy and that just goes through a hole that's drilled through there
you know over the stainless steel loop you get your lock release just looks it
one little bonus of the new draw system is that it can extend much further than the other one
we also noticed that I painted it rather than putting carpet that's because this carpet sort
of became a hindrance every time it would get close to the edges it would rub and I think it
was part of the reason that it was getting damaged so paint bit more durable and makes
you like the look of it a little better as well yeah that's that for now glad to
finally get it out of the way and that's it for today's exciting episode oh wait one more thing
the competition from the last exciting episode if you watched the last exciting episode you'll
remember we're giving away wolf craft clamps so big shout out to bull craft New Zealand
random comment generator so I've got my link from the last episode are you ready alright so
I have to actually click this button over here and the winner is Byron dub brother
I would use them to hold my work together while I fix it in place and Wellington hey
how about that big congratulations to Byron's up the claims will get sent out to you really
