Great example of how a video should be done. No ha has, cutesy cartoons, or annoying music. Just straight forward useful information.
I appreciate it!
Agreed, I was thinking it reminded me of listening to Norm Abrams.
It's so refreshing!
Totally agree!
I've watched a lot of videos on these drawer lock bits. Yours is the only one that I felt was worth actually taking notes on. Very clear, with everything I needed and nothing I didn't. Thanks!!!
Awesome, thank you!!
Pushing the bit back to produce a cut that hides the drawer slides is pure genius!!! I just built a bunch of pull-outs for my kitchen. Wish I had watched this video before I made them. I would have definitely preferred the hidden slide look!
Actually , about the best method for drawers and boxes I have seen . No complicated measuring .
This drawer construction reminds me of the Peter Hall shop and the way they constructed Port-Orford-cedar drawers for the kitchen and pantry in the R.R. Blacker House (1907) designed by Greene & Greene in Pasadena, California.The Gamble House, too.
This is indeed THE best way to make drawer boxes. I’ve been doing it for years this way: all you need is glue. Using the small version of this router bit makes it possible to use even thinner boards (I use 9.5 mm. boards). The resulting boxes are just as strong as their thicker counterparts, especially if you use this method for the bottom as well: you can then make the bottom flush with the lower edges of the sides, adding some millimeters to you storage space. Thanks for the video!
Haven’t used it for the bottom I’ll have to try that 👍🏽
Looks like I will be trying this method in the next day or so, I've only ever done dovetails and that was like 20 years back.
Tried this bit years ago and never dialed it in to work. Now I'll try again
Excellent video, much appreciated, thank you!
Well done John.
Well done!!
Thank you, John great clip.

Nice!!

Appreciate you putting this video out. Think I'll change my drawer assembly.
Very nice. Explanation was spot on.
Awesome tutorial on a cool router bit. I think I will try it out.
Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
I have made a lot of drawers using that bit and it’s always worked great! As you said set up blocks are a must! Thanks for sharing John!
Absolutely! 👍🏽
Helpful and to the point. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Cheap stupid me opted to NOT order the set up blocks! Thank you for doing this video, you helped me out big time! Definitely subscribing!
Perfect
Great video, John! Thanks a million for posting!

Great tips thanks for sharing
👍🏽👍🏽
Great video!
Thank you!
Excellent. Learnt a lot.
Awesome thanks for watching!
Straight to the point. No nonsense video.
great video thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Never seen this before. Something to consider. Thanks for the demo!
Thanks for watching!!
Great explanation.
I am so glad I found this video. I'm about to make a ton of drawers for my shop, and just hated the idea of having all the slides exposed and/or having the pocket holes exposed. The special router bit isn't cheap, but will easily pay for itself by not having to purchase wood for drawer fronts! Thank you! (And I subscribed for more tips in the future.)
Awesome thanks for watching!!
Great point about the cost of wood for drawer fronts!
@jimparker871, this is a nice method for drawers but more so if making solid wood sides. If you’re using plywood and don’t want to see any exposed wood, then the half/half/half method completely conceals everything, even plywood layers from the front/back pieces.
great information
Awesome! Great examples and demonstration. Clean video too.
Thank you!
I’d actually written off a lot of these kinds of shaping bits for a long time bc fussing with them to get good/repeatable results took longer than going without. Watching this has restored my faith in the world 😂
Great bit, great drawers when finished. Thanks for this one, John. Love your content.
Thank you!!
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Great tutorial John! I need to get one of those bits!
Thank you!!
Brilliant video helped me a great deal thank you
Awesome, thank you!
great video. very informative. thank you.
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you very much for this awesome video. I plan on using this method to join plywood for my virtual pinball cabinet.
Great tutorial. Need this bit.... I have some draw banks I'd like to make.
Fantastic demo! agree with all below just great instruction!
Thank you!
Oh great, another router bit I have to buy!!!!! 🙂Looks like a great solution and fast. Thanks
Great video!! DD
This bit came with a cabinet set I purchased years ago but I've never used it. Thanks for the demo. Looks like I've been missing out. Going to give it a go. Lot of positives to this style of drawer.
Give it a try man!
I've already made a few drawers using this bit and your vid explained where I goofed! Thanks for sharing this info..You are a top 10 for KZhead reference!
I used this decades ago, it worked well
Great work John, thanks for sharing. You got yourself another subscriber!
Thank you!!
Genial thx
just found this video. this is straight forward, easy to follow and saves time. I will be looking into investing in one of these router bits. set up block is a great idea to save time.
Great video! Easy to understand for a beginner like me! Thanks for sharing! 👊🏻
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks, great video, ill have to try this bit, I need to make a bunch of drawers!
Thanks for watching!!
Looks simple and easy. Just need a bit now........
Great demonstration of that cutter. I like the red/green patches on the router plate....
Tape to make the insert flush with the top haha my only complaint with that router table
Your tutorial was excellent. Tone and presentation was spot on Thank you.
Thank you!!
Very good video. And as another commenter it was to the point just discussing the issue you were dealing with and no funny cartoons or annoying music
Wow, that's a great method for what looks like simple drawer-making. Fantastic explanation of the use, setup, and troubleshooting when using that router bit. Also, a pretty cool option for deepening the side cuts on the fronts to conceal drawer slides. I'm going to have to buy one of those bits this weekend. Thanks for sharing this~!!
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you, John. This is a great video on using what always seemed like an impossible to properly adjust router bit.
Glad it helped!!
That is a neat wood joint. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for the educational video. Cheers
Thanks for watching!
This is great, thank you. I really like the way you can hide the drawer slides so easily. Thanks for the video.
Me too!
Campeón!!👏👏 Idea espectacular! Una forma genial de salir de los cajones convencionales👏👍👍
great video, also have to highlight the very safe work flow!
Thank you!
Best and most clear set up video i seen on this.
😊😊correct❤❤
Awesome thank you!
This is a very well explained use of these bits. You made the operation easy to follow and showed a lot of options as well. I’ll be watching for more videos from you and thanks.
Thank you!!
Excellent video! Thanks for the great information. I have struggled to get get setup right with that bit. Thanks for going over all different sizes of material. Thanks!
❤thankyou sir
No problem!!
*WOW!!! This is an Awesome Tip!!! I just ordered the Bit!!! Thank You for Sharing!!!*
👍🏽👍🏽
@@JohnBuildsIt *I'll post the first project I use with his Bit!*
This is incredible! It’s worth getting a router table setup just to do this!
Thanks for watching man!
I never heard of those router bits and they really seem to simplify the built of drawer. Thanks for sharing.
Underrated method for sure!
Wow, really excellent video...very well explained...earned a SUBSCRIBE!
Thank you!!
Did that many years ago. Made all my kitchen drawers with that.
Nice!!
Excellent video and demonstration! New subbie 🤓
Thank you!
Man, great video. Glad the algorithm gods brought this up in my feed. Subscribed and purchased the bit. Well done.
Thanks for watching!!
That is a cool bit. Now I wish I had a router and a table for it.
Great demonstration John. No flannel and filler, distilled down to exactly whats needed! Brilliant! Just discovered your channel & subscribed. I'll be perusing your back catalogue of videos over the next week.👍👍
Thanks I appreciate it!!
Thank you for being up-front, to-the-point and honest. I'm sick of these KZhead wanna-be's, which you are definitely NOT. Much appreciated Sir.
Haha I appreciate it!!
Wow. An informative video without any drama or a lame comedy act. Refreshing. Bit is in my Amazonian cart.
Haha thank you!
Great video! I've never used that bit before, but I want to try one now. You make that look very easy to do. Thanks for making it simple and with basic tools that most woodworkers would have.
Thanks for watching!!
Set up blocks are a must. I have the Rockler version and it took forever the first time. Fortunately I was smart enough to make some blocks for future projects. They do offer setup blocks for sale to match the bit but I didn’t want to pay the extra money. Good demonstration.
Instructions are definitely lacking out there on how to initially set them haha. So easy once you know though
Set up blocks are great, but they MUST be the exact same thickness of your material.
I always make my own setup blocks for each material thickness because it does take some time to dial in makes second run much quicker
