If I could click 'LIKE' twice I would, since I have watched this twice now. I have installed drawers many times - WITH THIS method. thank you so much. Just came back for a refresher, as it has been a while.
Cool idea....but... let's assume all of the draws are the same size (height)... Why not then cut the scrap of wood to the height that you need between each slide. That way you can use your scrap of wood and drill the slides in from the bottom, up. No need to constantly cut the wood. Just place the same piece on the slide you just drilled below and set the next slide above it...rinse and repeat. Things do get trickier when the draws are at different heights, but I guess my interpretation would still apply.... unless every single draw is of a different height. Thanks for the video. I was actually watching some other stuff on cabinet making and found your video. Nice work.
Your idea could work too. Just need to measure the right height for each drawer even if their not the same height. Only issue is i think youll be needing an extra piece for the 1st bottom 1.
Good technique on how to attach the slides to the cabinet sides. You skipped the part about installing onto the drawers themselves which if not done correctly will cause the drawers to bind.
I was doing research for a video on draw slide , you did it that's the way to install doesn't matter about the exact height just being exact left and right and using a spacer.
Fantastic, a video on how to mount a drawer slide w/o any damn drawers!!!! Love your enthusiasm, hate the fact you missed the #1 thing I watched the video for...
@@HowYouCanMakeIt Sorry for the snarky comment. I didn't think anyone would actually read it and I was just venting... : ( You didn't show a drawer. I wanted to see how the slides were actually mounted to the drawer, but no drawer. Thanks for making the video. I know there's hard to make and appreciation is a lot of what you get out of them when you're all done.
if using self close slides then i suggest making a jig with a base that is 9 in wide and about 28 in long 3/4 plywood with and 3/4 in rise at the front end of the jig and 5/8 to make flush to faceframe when drawer is closed ,1 in wide partiion to seperate left from right sidethe slide should be cut 3/4 in shy of backof the cabinet (1 in if dadoed ) on 3/4 in plywood 4 in wide by depth of cabinet -3/4 in to 1 in with a 3/4 in scrap piece of plywood to fit the gap and level to the drawer slides will never pull out with this method due to it being braced by face and back of cabinet the slide should be level with the bottom of the plywood its being screwed to and the drawer is alreadey 3/8 to 1/2 in from bottom of face frame partition so the slide runner can be flush to the drawe's bottom and face
On the first ones I did the wood dust/swarf from drilling through the runner tended to clog up the ball bearings a bit, so now I use a centre punch to mark the holes, then remove the runner from the jig and drill the holes. Finally, brush away any wood dust and install the runners.
Hi from down under. I've been having a bugger of a time trying to measure the kitchen carcass up for the drawers. You make it seem so easy. Thank you. A short video focussing on the first part of fitting drawers. My drawers have a front plate of matching timber. Could you possibly make a video on how to complete the drawer. That is, assembly and fitting each drawer please. Good job!
@@HowYouCanMakeIt I mean to place the spacer over the newly installed rail as a guide for the next, though, this works only on drawers with equal height.
Doing this will make you go back and forth to your saw station. The convenient way is layout your markings at the edge of the board and clamp it with a 12" T ruler, it will give you the same results! For repietitive installation I use a stick for markings.
The draw box is 1/2in on each side to account for the thickness of the draw slide so if the width of your draw space is 10in your draw box would need to be 9in wide
Some more details on how you calculate the length of boards, height of drawers and space between slides would give the viewer specific guidelines on how to apply this method to their project, I like the concept but the devil is in the details. Thanks
@@justgoballistic watch Jason Bent’s video that covers the math. I’ve been helped by Jason’s videos on the math of making drawers & straightforward tips for installing the slides.
Wow I use those exact drawer slides. That's a solid way to get them in accurately. For those comments asking how to fit the inner slides etc. Take the inner rail off the slide and screw to the side of the drawer. Leaving the inner rail about 2mm up from the bottom. For the outer rail, it will be 22mm from the bottom of the drawer to the holes for the screws. Marking for a full set of drawers is done by marking the gaps between the drawer faces along the height of the carcass, then 22mm above any drawer face line will leave the drawer above just scraping the one below it. So I add another 15mm or so. 22+15 = 37, round to 35 Mark 35mm above all the gaps between the drawers, measure from the inside of the bottom shelf up to each line and note the height of each, on the first pass. Run those lines up both sides and screw in all the drawer rails. If I'm doing several lockers the same height, this allows me to transfer those height measurements over to all the other units. Just knowing it's 22mm from the screw hole to the bottom of the drawer allows for fairly quick measuring and fitting.
That depends on if you are doing inset drawers or overlay. I measure from the front. For the flush inset drawer I used 1/2 plywood, so I offset it .5in from the front. I hope that answers your question.
Nice & easy instruction. It would be of help if you could include how you lined up and fitted the draws to the sliders. Do you have a link to that video please?
how about the sizes of drawers where to base the following sliding roller or the next height of your next plywood below where to lay the next roller to be screwed?
you can make the drawers any size you want you just have to do some math and do some division to know how to space everything. I used a 3D program called SketchUp.
cool but sheet goods are at 250% now I thought I was a hoarder b4 covid, i have more scraps than anything else but I just got a cabinet built and im putting drawers now. Good tips when prices go back to normal
@@HowYouCanMakeIt Thank you for your response. I was finally able to figure it out. The manufacturer didn't screw the drawer slides in the same direction that's why I was having so much trouble putting them in 😪.
What do you do if the base of your cabinet is not level? Meaning a piece of wood cut to the height of the base of the drawer slide may need to be different from the left slides to the right slides to be level.
It all depends on your drawer spacings. If you're drawers are all the same size then all you need to do is cut one size template and use that to space your slides out.
Could you rip the same board you used to the correct width, then you don’t have to cut a board every time just turn it 90 after the first drawer. The. It could be reused for another cabinet of the same size. Great video thanks!
Awesome technique and works perfectly. Just wondered if those runners can be installed flat/horizontal, to allow a worktop to slide forward slightly off the top of a cabinet? It's something i'm considering for easy access down the back between cupboard and the wall. Sadly I can't put them on the edges and prefer the worktop to slide neatly without wobbling and rubbing the cabinets either side. It would only need to slide forward 200mm. I could make slide rails out of hardboard but these runners look robust. Appreciate your thoughts 🙂
@@HowYouCanMakeIt i think it would work but risky to put pressure on when overhanging the edge. I basically have some short cabinets that aren't very deep and thought it be handy to store items behind them rather than cut the worktop to fit. The runners would raise the worktop by 12-13mm, where as hardboard sliding rails would only raise it by 4mm and be cheaper 😃
Wait i have a question how much inches or the measurement from the top did you use to space the drawer slides so that the drawer wont hit or touch the top of the cabinet ?
Question. 66" x 35" under desk clear. Rectangle legs on either side. Keyboard 56"W 11.10" D 5" Tall. Weight 40.8 lbs. Need piano to be back towards the back of the desk, then pull box on slides to edge of the desk, slides in box extend out 12" so the piano can be played. Unable to get advice on the best sliders to use, meaning the under the desk part, pretty straight forward, however when it comes to pulling out another set of slides, they need to be able to handle the weight, not wobble up-down left-right. With the width being 56 wide, figuring out weight stress is touch. Could you offer any suggestions? I wonder if there is a way to not use an enclosed box, or other ways to make this project better? Thanks
Thank you for replying, but am asking where to line it up vertically, with drawers that have screw on drawer fronts. ie. does the carcass part sit flush with the front of the cupboard. @@HowYouCanMakeIt
Video completely skips the 2 most difficult steps. Locating the precise height and length of the mounting location. Like a driving video that only shows how to turn on the car and use the blinkers.
Nice trick, but I've noticed that drawer slides dont even have to be perfectly leveled (with each other) to function; they just need to be semi close to the pull and individually leveled. Just to test, I've purposely didnt make my slides leveled with each other and they function just fine. Thanks too, looks more pro this way for sure.
