How To Make Plywood Boxes • 2 of 64 • Woodworking project for kitchen cabinets, desks, etc…
Plywood Bins AskWoodMan.com In this video clip am going to make boxes with drawers to go beneath my existing desktop. This approach for developing plywood containers can be utilised for cabinets, bookcases, and anything at all necessitating a box shape. This is the 2nd video in the How To Make Plywood Bins series. In this clip I speak about the objectives of the venture and that I suggest producing total size drawings to keep away from error. I like to draw on scrap parts of plywood and then reuse later.

@rutabegared1 I know what you mean by mixed results. My oil based finish Waterlox dissolves the the tape adhesive and seeps underneath. But what I have found is that just stop messing with the tape because the finish peels away from the laminate. Then I just do a super light sanding at the transition point to get rid of any ridge and then wipe a thin film of finish on this area with panty hose wrapped around my index finger. But I still try to avoid finish on the laminate .
Hi Alan. Great video. Any tips on avoiding getting finish on the laminate when finishing the exposed plywood edges? I’ve masked it using tape with mixed results. Thanks.

@smfield With comments like that my head is going to swell up so big it won’t fit through the door. That is to paraphrase Hank Williams. Thank you though.
Thanks, great job as usual. You throw pearls of woodworking wisdom like Bruce Lee throughs Chinese Stars …… quickly and accurately!
@smfield It is not a permanent enough to stand up to smears, and the markers have too thick of a point so finer detail is hard to draw. Home Depot sells 4×8 white board sheets for about $11. It is used as low cost interior wall covering. It cuts like a dream on a tablesaw. My wife has a full sheet and several cut down ones in here office. What also works great is photo backdrop paper. It is thick with a nice texture and comes really wide. I saved a bunch from a photo shoot from this summer.
Did you ever try using an old white board to sketch up full scale plans? I’m also pretty frugal when it comes to scrap wood. I don’t throw away anything. Sometime I even save my plane shavings for future shimming and saw dust for glue fill!
@deleetmeeh I also like the lower toxic quality of the glues used. It actually smells like wood when you cut instead of the microwaved cat piss most of the Chinese plys smell like from the urea formaldehyde glues. Also having a millimeter veneer to sand is nice instead of the onion skins that pass for veneers on today’s plywood.
Yea Baltic Birch is the only way to go when you have exposed profiles. I do like the look of the edges as well. Most cabinet makers pretty much use Baltic Birch for drawers. Great Desk I wish I had a setup like that.
I have been waiting for this series. Thanks for the Christmas present!!! Love your stuff.
