Moments in this video

  1. 0:21–3:56 Rip and Cross-Cut Drawer Components From Under Stair Storage, Step 4: Cut Components

    Take the rough-cut plywood sections and cut them into strips of the required width for the drawer box components (sides, fronts, backs, and bottoms) using a table saw. Then, cross-cut these strips into the final individual pieces for each drawer using a cross-cut sled or miter gauge on the table saw. This step generates all the individual pieces for the 14 drawers, with 10 of them being the same size.

  2. 12:49–13:28 Final Sanding and Finishing From Under Stair Storage, Step 7: Attach Handles and Finish

    Perform a final sanding on all exposed wooden surfaces, especially the drawer fronts and handles, to ensure a silky-smooth finish. Then, apply two coats of water-based polyurethane. This finish will protect the wood from wear and tear, moisture, and help maintain its aesthetic appeal over time.
