 What the heck is a good way to add some pizzazz to any of your drawers? Oh, Lord, we're here's Paul Carlson here small workshop guy, you know drawers don't have to be just totally plain Like this here. I got a nice slick bottom. It's gonna get lacquered. It's gonna be Sanded there's gonna be a false front. It's gonna be beautiful but It could be better There's a guy named Matt Jackson He's a next-level carpenter and he showed me a trick in one of his Patreon videos to add just a little bit of Look to a drawer and I really like it. So that's what this is about So the idea is for the side of the drawer To and you want to do this before you make them in the drawers is to just add a little cutout for a little design I Really really like that the way I've done this is I've put a bit in my Router table that it's just a straight bit. It's pretty large one Wouldn't have to be large, but I like the radius of this. I believe it's One inch same one I used to flatten my workbench And I've got that set with the fence three eighths of an inch deep now I don't think you want to do this freehand and I don't think you want to do it Without a router table and I don't think you want to do it without some special Precautions and that is to put a fence at the beginning and a fence at the ending kind of a start stop fence So you can take your piece set the fence where you need it to be so the bits gonna come in here Where you want it to at the starting point But the key thing is when that bit bites all hell can break loose particularly when you're dealing with plywood in this case, I've got Baltic birch but if that's not well braced against something it can go bananas and With it properly braced here and then this will tell you when you hit the other side So set these so you get just the amount of bite that you want on here And and then don't just use your bare hands. I don't recommend that do something for a little safety So let me demonstrate Here's one of my sides I'm not going to turn the vacuum cleaner on this time so that Yeah, it probably will so anyway, I'm gonna take this I think it's from micro jig. It's a grip block Got nice holders on the bottom Got my hand up away from that spinning bit because I don't know about you but anything is spinning in my workshop scares the hell out of me and I just don't want to take any chances So watch carefully and here we go. I've got a braced against this to start Got it turned on my hands away That's how you add some nice-looking profile to your drawer sites Small workshop guy hoping you find this series of what the heck is videos designed for beginners Very helpful.
