Your version of geeking out is absolutely amazing. When you describe why the drawer handles are so slim, ... it blew my mind that this level of thought has gone into it. Really well done.
-
I probably should have made the arrow in the thumbnail point at me instead of the cabinets
-
I hope someday to plan and execute a project this comprehensively. In my opinion, you should manufacture and sell these as customizable kits. Outstanding work!
-
I'm consistently blown away by your camera and editing work. Every... single... thing... that you talk about, you have B-roll showing perfect framing and lighting of. There were like, hundreds of those in this video. Full production company productions like what you see on HGTV don't have this attention to detail or respect for their viewers. Outstanding as always. Also your hair changed color to match your shirt, interesting new trick.

I love love love this, so well thought out! Maybe the biggest drawers could have handles in the side walls so its easier to lift the whole box out if something heavy is inside? God i want a shop now, will definitely buy the drawings :)

Always amazed at how much thought goes into your work
-
This video is everything I hoped it would be. The sheer amount of thought and care you put into these things is a joy to behold. I'm seriously contemplating buying the plans even though I don't in fact have a woodshop, just because maybe someday I will make a friend who does have a woodshop and they will be able to construct these amazing cabinets for me.

Too long? Not a chance. I was actually sad when it ended. This was like watching nothing I have ever seen. I can't even think of an analogy. Amazing.
-
Anybody who values your time and, more importantly, values their own time, would understand that $15 for the plans is a small cost. Thank you for all of the details and design considerations.
-
the way your brain works is mind blowing - i have no need to building anything you show here but i still watch all of it all the way thru. Just incredible!
-
Thank you for not only designing an incredible system of cabinets, but for making such exact subtitles. Surprisingly rare on youtube - and greatly appreciated.
-
This is a great example of product design - of taking into account various factors, balancing them and making these tiny tweaks that solve noticeable problems.
-
This is excellent. Whenever I'm designing or building something, I always remember something you said years ago: "if you can't make it perfect, make it adjustable". I've learned a lot from you, and this video will be really helpful. Thank you.

As a mathetician by training, I approve of this video. As an undiagnosed Aspy, I approve of this videomaker.

It may be that you have, indeed, given away all the thinking and smarts that went into this. But not to this sunburnt old Aussie. Plans bought and paid for! Thoughtful, considered, and considerate (thank you for designing this system to work across both imperial AND metric!) design like this should be both celebrated and rewarded. You’ve managed to solve EVERY storage conundrum I’ve got with my in-progress new workshop. Overjoyed doesn’t begin to describe how happy I am right now.
-
I liked the original build video, but this "geek out" video on the design of your drawer system is just amazing. Not only because of the obvious amount of thought you put into the design, but also the amount of thought that went in to explaining the design. Really amazing work. Thanks so much.
-
People explaining their thought process about picking dimensions is my jam. Metric-imperial compatibility is the mega brain strat. Edit: this video is a masterclass. I’ll be watching this over and over.
-
There was one thing you didn't think about.... darned if I can figure it out, though. Excellent design, Jer, and not surprised.
-
Absolute winner. I don't often purchase plans from YTers. I tend to get them from my woodworking books, magazines, and equipment manufacturers/retailers. But you so perfectly designed and executed this modular system that I (1) had to get these to use in my upcoming shop remodel, and (2) ensure that you received credit and compensation for your genius. Truly, this system of yours is exceptional. Wonderfully done!!!

So very cool. A clear work of an engineer's mind. I don't care whether you're an actual engineer or even went to elementary school, you're clearly a born engineer.
