10X your tool storage with this one simple build

It seems every garage has one (or more) of those common metal tool chests. You know the ones. The kind with those tiny, shallow drawers… good enough for a few pencils, and maybe a wrench or two, but that’s about it. We know the score — those drawers were never designed for woodworkers! We need BIG drawers, for BIG tools. So let’s fix that! In this video, I show you how to customize that store-bought tool chest, so you can make it perfect for YOUR needs! Using a half-sheet of 1/2” plywood and some common hardware, we'll convert 4 skinny, not-very-useful drawers, to one BIG 10” drawer. This is an easy afternoon build anyone can do - even if you’ve never built a custom drawer in your life. Thanks to FlexiSpot for sponsoring this video.
