    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.

    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.

    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.

    Well that's a no brainer for a frameless cabinet, how about a kitchen cabinet with face frames?

    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 ?

    • @HowYouCanMakeIt
      @HowYouCanMakeIt  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I measured the side of the drawer box and placed each slide in the center. I then subtracted that dimension from the over all cabinet inside height.

    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

    Great video, but where EXACTLY is the drawer slide positioned? Does the slide line up with the EDGE of the cupboard?

    • @HowYouCanMakeIt
      @HowYouCanMakeIt  Před 8 měsíci +1

      You can decide where to position the slide and then make your template. The slide can be either at the bottom, middle or top of the drawer.

    • @jenskuhn2052

      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.

      it depends on the slide. the usually have to be offset from the front by 3/4" I am working on a new video to show how to install slides

    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.

      You would need to first know the height of your box drawer and then divide it by the overall length.

    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.
