Thanks for your comment,Dave

Your building is very sloppy and while may be strong and functional, it lacks proper technique, for example, a drawer bottom should be free floating to avoid splits and twists. Glue should never be wiped with a rag as it clogs the pores of the wood and mars the finish.

@pcups100 Hey, The bottom as well as the sides are 1/2 inch high grade Baltic birch plywood and will not move or warp when glued and are much stronger that way. Sorry but I disagree with your comment. Also, I have never left glue in the pores wiping with a clean wet rag.

Thanks, You can never have too many clamps. Making videos is easy for me and a hobby. I make most of my videos with a small camera set to video and a tripod. I like to share info as I have learned so much on youtube. Dave

Nice no frills dialogue. I hate those instructional demos where peeps drone and on about their philosophy and how their technique is the best.

You focused in the meat and showed by doing. Nice quick efficient experienced process. Nice vid

@toneslingercliff , Thank You for the comment. I just do what I feel. I am not a teacher or anything like that. I like to share what I know. I have learned a lot on YOUTUBE and like to contribute back when I can and it turned into a fun hobby as well. Thanks,Dave

@pcups100 - that funny - I am building shelves with 1 x 8 sides joined with dovetails and quarter inch plywood bottom that fits in a groove. It would just be for clothes so that should suffice. I have heard of leaving it floating but I was also contemplating how much stronger it would make the drawer if the bottom was glued in. I was trying to get some advice - never done this before.

I was just commenting on what I was watching. If it works for you, hey, go for it.

Is it against the law to play someone else's music on your video? Yes, but you won't get busted by the man. But then here's the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). Their goons have been known to exact fees from a restaurant because the crew was playing a radio in the kitchen. As if the musicians would ever see a dime of that money. Not.

it's be helpful if u at least put a parts list in the info section. or talk about what you're doing while you're doing it. nice work though, it's obvious you've done this 1000 times

Dave great no frills video (quick and efficient) - I learn a great deal this way - Did you make a video of the setup for the drawer cuts? I'm still in the learning phase of woodworking, Thanks, David
