So I'm confused.. if you removed the walls, couldn't you have just re-cut the dado's and kept the outside width consistent?
I only removed one wall, and cutting the slots deeper only on one side would have made the drawers visibly off-center. Removing and re-cutting both walls would have been double the work.
Yeah, I agree. I think 1mm off center over the entire width would have nearly unnoticeable.
If you cut off the walls you're removing wood so you need to add fillers anyways! Sanding 16 dadoes inside the assembled cabinet.... is a hell of a lot of work.
It worked didn’t it?
Adding the thicker filler strips was so much easier because the saw kerf alone was going to require filler strips anyway on top of the work to re-cut the 8 dados per side. Jer definitely did it the easier way plus accented his “mistake” with the walnut filler strips.
I am new to your channel and I am overwhelmed at your seemingly innate grasp of the laws of physics, your effortless and complex analytical ability, precision planning and skillful execution of your work. You are a very talented young man and I look forward to following your channel videos.
I like the contrast!
I love that the table saw sled fits in the cabinet like a drawer!
Another obstacle...another proportional, well-thought out and creative solution! Impressive and inspirational as always my friend. Kudos and thank you for another great video.
Or watch it for fun, because I enjoy watching Jer do things
Jer, you are the best. Thanks
Great and attractive corrective repair. Love your work!
It's great to see that even you make mistakes and good on you for admitting them and showing a fix.
Excellent video - learning how to fix mistakes is a great skill. Extra likes for being honest enough to admit you thought you had the measurements memorized. And didn't.
Thank you my friend
Jer, a nice elegant fix to an irritating mistake! Beautifully done.
I have a mini shoulder plane that I use for making hard to reach slots a little deeper.
Jer is so good at building stuff
Always great seeing JS content in my feed. Nice work around!
Jer, Hello Again. I must say, you are that ten percent more clever than the normal person and you have the precision to match the attempt to remedy. Will you accept that as a compliment?
Great fix!
I think Modular Cabinet System might be my favourite youtube series. Everything is just so precise and well thought out! Even this video about a mistake is just making me happy about how tidily you fixed it! And the walnut scar looks very fashionable in my opinion. It's subtle, but if you're looking for it, it's right there waiting. Very cool.
You made it a feature! Well done jer!
Nice fix Jeremy! Thanks for sharing the video with us😎👍JP
YOU’RE BACK!!!!!! I’m so excited?!!! Imma binge all your new stuff. (And subscribe)
Really enjoyed the process here! Thank you for showing the mistake and how to overcome them.
Oh how many times I've thought to myself, "this happened because I didn't follow my own plans..." Been there done that!
I've always admired the way you think! This video is no exception! Good Job!
its a parade in my city anytime you post a video Jer. keep em coming!!!!
Your stuff is so cool
Perfect example of a Wabi-sabi repair!
As I've seen on other woodworker's channels - If you make a mistake, make the repair look intentional! Nice work.
Love the fix. I think we all goof on stuff like that and kick ourselves after the fact but fixing the issue and making it stand out is a great reminder. Also money shot on the clear coat going on the walnut.
Nice recovery.
I love how you decided to correct this oops! now the oops cabinets are the best ones!
Nice fix, I think it looks great with its "scar!" I half expected you to make some sort of tool like a router plane that would fit the tight space, and not have to disassemble at all. But I'm still glad to have another video and more Jer ingenuity!
I like the fix as a trim feature it adds a cool detail to the design and overall will not weaken the structure any..good stuff You could easilt put this into both sides on a future from scratch build by simply altering the dimension to fit the fillet. You could even use different coloured fillets depending on what type of tools are to be stored in it ..if you like that sort of thing. thanks for sharing
The mini router planes may have solved this problem. Especially when you can mount the blade off the back to reach into the back of cabinet. Lee Valley Veritas makes two different small router planes. Love the walnut strips.
That is something I would do... "I shall standardize as much as possible" Promptly misremembers the standards... lol.
I enjoyed watching you work through a problem, your precision and attention to detail are master class. A customer design, fab, and install video would be a great vid. A J. Schmidt designed workshop!
I think the filler looks great. You should add them to the next ones you do, Its a feature not a bug... Maybe use different wood types on different draw boxes, Just liking the contrast. Love you work. 😀
This would have been a good place to make a simple wooden block plane
I made this mistake when building you plans before…used a router, guide and flush trim but to get slot to right depth and used a chisel to clear out the back that the router wouldn’t reach. Took a lot of time, but looks comparable to this time-wise
That walnut does look very nice and clean. 👍 Maybe a handheld router plane could have let you deepen those grooves to save cutting it apart? Million ways to skin a cat though I guess 🙂
Makes for a nice feature even if it wasn't an alteration.
I like the infill look it adds. Do it to both sides to make it look intentional
Really well done, Jer! They turned out great! 😃 You should measure the plywood you used in those and compare against the older ones... I could bet they aren't the same. That's what probably messed up with your build. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Why not just routing deeper grooves once you cut it open?
The saw cut on the side, seemed to give you a "micro" rabbet. Did that help with the alignment?
4:15 it’s like Kintsugi. The Japanese practice of repairing pottery with gold to highlight the repair as a part of the piece’s history.
So is this where I say measure twice, cut once? 😂😂. I think we’ve all done something similar.
Wouldn't it have been possible to just route the slots a little deeper? Just route each half the missing depth without taking it apart at all. Or for that matter since it's less than 1mm, just sand it or rasp it? Or just cut the drawer 1mm on one side? I dunno, seems like all of these things are much easier than what ended up happening. Maybe I'm not understanding though
A router won’t fit in the bottom two slots or the top one without disassembling the cabinet, and it won’t reach the back of any of them. I tried sanding them, but that was on track to take way longer than this did. And I addressed why I can’t cut the drawers narrower in the video.
@@Jer_Schmidt thanks for the explanation!
If you wanted to continue the walnut along the front, you could put the walnut strips on the sides of the drawer fronts
After I built and finished six caucuses from 3/4” baltic birch, and was about to build drawers… I realized that nobody sells 3/8” baltic birch in my area. So I had to order that online for my drawer bottoms. Just saying... Great plans, great stuff!
Well, now you have to make a butcher block version with exotic wood for use as an end-table in a home. Would make a great video and expand your audience into an existing (and massive) KZhead market. #EveryDefectGetsRespect
Hey Jer, nice work as always. One question I had was with the pre drilled holes. The walnut hides and obscures the lower hole, if I’m not mistaken, so did you just rely on the screw penetrating the walnut and then “finding” its way into the lower portion of the original pre drill, thus aligning things? I was just curious. Thanks!
Yeah, I figured once it found that lower hole, it would mash itself sideways in the walnut enough to line up. It seemed to work well enough. And it's easy to start it close enough that it finds that hole, because I can line up the sides flush enough by eye/feel.
@@Jer_Schmidtmakes sense, thank you!
Interesting resolution of an error.
Interesting correction. I'm lazy and would have accepted having a couple of non-interchangeable modules. But I agree with AronGreen - why not cut off the side(s), recut the dados, and use a spacer to keep the outside width consistent? Good video.
Why would I do that? That's at least double the work with no benefit.
Hello Jer
3:44 I dont understand why you didnt cut the slots deeper. On the tablesaw i think thats a lot easier than glueing filler on. I just saw you answer to @AronGreen Thanks
I guess you couldnt just use the board stretcher cause it would have cause a misalignment in the stacking holes?
Wouldn't it have been possible to mill the slots a little deeper with a router without sawing off the walls?
The router wouldn't reach all the way to the back, and wouldn't be able to do the bottom slot at all.
Have you considered building a bike with two front wheels to give some triangular stability for imbalanced loads? 2:31
Use a (manual - oh no!) router plane to deepen the slots
That would still require me to disassemble the cabinet because there’s not enough room to use the plane (especially not for the bottom slot). So then that would just be extra work with no real benefit over how I did it.
My name is Peter, and I would like a set of plans for the cabinet and drawers
Thanks for your interest. You can buy the plans here: www.etsy.com/Jerswoodshop/listing/1403630597/
Personnaly my fix would have been simpler, quicker and invisible to the naked or clothed eye. I would have made new drawers, so they fit and simply not exchange drawers around my shop. (I would have kept the old drawer parts for new drawers as they were the correct dimension)
Nice recovery on this one. And hello again Rainbow Pants!
Two words, rabbet plane. Just a couple passes in each drawer channel with some chisel work in the back... no?
I wanted to use a dado plane and shave out the channels
I would had to hack off the front of it, but then I'd always have that special tool for just such f#ck-ups
I thought about that! It would have been a good technique I think, but I decided it wasn't worth buying & modding a tool rather than fixing it with what i already have.
Or just start again with some new wood and get it right.
Sure, because baltic-birch plywood is cheap and even the slightest flaw in a project is a heinous crime against humanity.
@@tcarney57 Absolutely, that's pretty much how I see it. Works for me! And, incidentally, making a fundamental mistake such that something can't fit, and the 'fix' leaves the external dimension incorrect I would not consider a minor flaw.
@@chriselliott726 It took me decades to grow out of attitudes like yours.
@@tcarney57 I am happy for you that you are content to live with your mistakes. If it brings you peace my friend, that is a good thing. I still take pride in my work.
I used to think this way, but I’m starting to realize that “taking pride in my [perfect] work” is/was just a way to protect my fragile ego. You’ll always be learning and growing, and I think it’s much better to look back on past projects and be reminded “that’s the project that taught me x”, rather than “that’s the project that the younger, cockier version of me thought was perfect”.
This is just grossly unacceptable.. I'm seriously disappointed..since when has Jer allowed 0.5mm out of tolerance to slip passed his Quality Control..and then even worse to then say 1mm over tolerance is okay ? Someone needs to do a welfare check on Jer if that's even Jer at all..something is Hinky about this Big time..
Loved the part about making the repair evident. Reminds me of kintsugi. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
