Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 4:08Drawers replace deep base cabinets so stored items are easier to reach.
- 6:23Separate toe kicks are leveled before the cabinet bases are secured.
- 8:26Double-layer plywood tops surround a recessed saw platform, with clearance needed for the saw's swivel.
- 11:12T-tracks recessed into the bench accept stop blocks and clamping accessories.
- 20:54Staggered French cleats support rearrangeable wall storage, including clamps and 3D-printed tool brackets.
- 25:46The completed station is presented, with miter saw dust collection remaining to be installed.
Deep base cabinets are not invited. "I am doing all drawers. Now, I cannot stand base cabinets," Brady Hommel says as he builds the storage that will anchor his new workshop.
"I hate "DREAM" Builds... But This is one." marks his first woodworking project in the fully functioning space after the barndominium build. The video is sponsored by Huepar. Brady starts with integrated plywood storage and separate, leveled toe kicks, then builds out a long miter saw station with matte-black drawer fronts and raw oak pulls made from scraps.
There is a practical snag along the way: the surrounding bench restricts the saw's full swivel. Allowing clearance becomes part of the build, alongside recessed saw placement and T-tracks for accessories. Above it all, French cleats hold clamps, drills and chargers, with custom 3D-printed fittings helping organize the wall. Even the BH logo gets its own laser-cut treatment.
The workshop video drew about 14,000 views, the larger audience of his two uploads this week; "Simple Lumber Rack #woodworking #diy #woodwork" accompanied it. Viewers are asking for more on the vertical wood rack, discussing drawer access and raising the question of noise control in the new space.
The station is also the busiest of his highlighted videos right now. His older "I Did this with Lowes Lumber. You can too..." continues bringing viewers to a console-table build with deliberately added circular-saw marks. Across the channel, subscribers grew by roughly a thousand over the week, although daily views are currently below half their usual pace.
Brady's weekly views sit close to NZ Builder // Josh Chapman's, while Wyrmwood Vlogs had a busier week and Keith Fenner a quieter one. Back at Brady's finished station, the main job left is less photogenic than the oak handles, but essential to the setup: dust collection for the miter saw.

Heck yeah, I'd love see a vid on the vertical wood rack!
Shop looks great and VERY well lit! Smart!@gregmize01See it on YouTubeJust have to say , you did it right. I think it was the right mix of simplicity and planning. Great job.
@r55rheaSee it on YouTubeConsider lower cabinets with doors and pull-out shelves on 100 lbs over-extend drawer slides . . . great way to access what’s in the cabinet. Enjoyed the video, thumbs up, thanks for your time.

@TSGEntSee it on YouTubeBeen doing toe kicks like that since the 90's, I think it's the best way to do cabinets.
