I vote knob for the little drawer 👌🏼
I think the knob looks better for the smaller drawer. Its good you’re keeping busy with projects and taking us along the ride. Thanks for sharing .
I've been using wire strippers for 30 years and never knew the bolt cutting function. Thank you!
lol the same here
Knobs for the small drawers.
Thank you for voting! 😁😁
Clamp your wooden jig to the door/drawer and drill through it. No marking with a pencil, no starting with an awl, no masking tape behind. Put a 3/16" tapered bit in your drill and go. The tapered bit doesn't blow out the back side.
I'm a journeyman cabinetmaker, finish carpenter, and cabinet installer.
I appreciate you so much. Figured I'd let you know! I'm doing all my home renovation projects by myself and your videos have definitely been a necessity to my success!
I was impressed how you got a 'handle' on the job!!! 😉 Sorry, had to say it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
HEYOOOO. Haha I like it. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you! Just got a full set of hardware for my kitchen and have never done it. Loved learning from you - very clear, got everything I needed to know. Subscribed!
How’d it go!
I just want to say THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Knobs.. ty for an awesome video. Tomorrow I'll be working on my cabinets. 🙏
Good luck!
I'm with team square knob.
Great, I can use that. Thanks Matt. 😊
No problem! Hope it helps!!
I personally would want a knob for those little drawers.
🤣thanks for the outtake! I needed that giggle
Knob on small drawers
Thanks for voting! 😁
I vote for the knob. Thanks for the instructions- I’m going to tackle drawer pulls soon.
I've been nervous about doing this on my new bathroom vanity but thanks to you---- I'm "on it"!
Awesome to hear! I really hope the video helps!
@The Fixer thank you! I did it. Not perfect but completed. I have been afraid to do the job but you were super helpful
Good stuff like always.
Square knobs would probably look good
Hello. I think for the small drawers the square knob will work well and still fit in with the design. Thank you for taking us along with you on the whole reno of your kitchen. I feel the kitchen is a job well done. Take care and enjoy the new kitchen or should I say the whole new home. Wonder what you will reno now?
Your layout makes the draw handles uniform
I like knobs for all upper cabinets and handles for all lower ones. Nice video, greetings from the Netherlands
19:42 If you don't have bolts with a gap in the thread for cutting (or even if you do), a precaution would be to wind a nut on before cutting. Maybe the thread will be fine. But if not, maybe forcefully unwinding the nut will mash the ragged end back into usable shape. Nicer to have two maybes on your side than one.
Thank you. I'm replacing knobs for pulls. Will check out Jig.
Knobs!
This was helpful. I just made a template real quick with a random scrap of cardboard. Thanks for the idea!
I was screaming make a jig while you were jabbering on about measuring…
🤣
A square knob centered. Great job.
Awesome video very thorough. I would use a knob on the 2 very small drawers.
Knobs for small drawers 👍
Square knobs for the small drawers!
Thank you for the suggestion. I think that is what we are going with! Thanks for watching!
You're great, thank you so much!
Huge help on the 36” base drawers. Used a jig for all the doors but drawers were concerning
Great video, thanks
And thank YOU, Michael, for watching!
😆helpful video, for handle installation, how to measure the size and drilling hole is difficult, your bring an effective way👍
You are good！Looking forward to work together🥰
Thanks. I only have 4 handles to install and 1st way did the trick. 👍👍👍👍
Good to hear!
Isn’t there a smaller version of that bar pull? I used three different sizes of the exact same pull on a wall of built-ins in a bedroom.
Thanks
No problem! Hope it helps!
I vote for the handle
It will things uniformed
The small square Knob will work
If that was my kitchen I would have you change the direction of the opening of the cookie sheet cabinet next to the oven. And no to the knob since the rest are handles.
i like the knob on the smaller drawers, in the center of the panel. but i would want a square or rectangular knob, since the handles are so rectangular.
I was afraid to do these myself, so I hired someone to do mine. I had all handles as well and wanted them lined up exactly like the ones you did here. Worst mistake I ever made. He did a terrible job, and they were all crooked. Now I have to get up the nerve to fix it myself. This video really helped. Thank you.
Sorry to hear that. 😞 but happy to hear the video helped.
I'm team handle all the way, but I'd have gone with something wider than used here, and do them all horizontally like on the drawers with the handles being along the lower rail of the cabinet doors for the uppers (and by extension, similar for the lower cabinet doors up top when not a drawer.
That said, uppers will either be open shelving for basic frameless cabinet boxes sans doors and call it a day. 😊
They are called " short & long SCREW'S " !
I would prefer the small knob for the smaller drawers
Thanks, Raymond. Pretty sure that is what we are going with! Thanks for the comment and for checking out the video!
Do I need a nail set or can I just a drill bit?
Do the knob bro😄
A small knob would look better on those small drawers. Something square or rectangular in shape.
Square knobs for the small drawers
Go with the knob on the small drawer. With 1.5” countertop overhang a high mounted handle will be partially hidden and look bad imho
❤❤❤
Hello
I need to get me some of those screws
I have never cut a screw that threads back without a problem
It's easier for me to use an acrylic ruler rather than the measuring tape for this particular task. Easier on the hands~
♥️
A jig isn’t cheating, it’s smart
🌞
If you're making a jig, make sure you drill the holes dead straight otherwise any angles will throw off your measurements. That's what happened in this case but by creating a larger hole in the cabinet, you will give yourself some wiggle room!
P.S. I know this by doing three doors and then wondering why they weren't straight........ and I had 35 doors to go.
The home depot have a tool that is already made the holes
Question. Are you available for hire? I live in CT.
me enjoying these vids as always, but constantly interpreting "jig" as "a little dance" for fun, can't help it my brain just works like that
🤣
Stay with the handle and use a file to shave it down to fit correctly, and center it on the drawer.
Square knobs for small drawers 😁
Thanks, Lynsey!
Buy a real $200 jig from Lee Valley It will do every handle for every job opened over and over for years
Instead of ripping my entire kitchern a part we had New Cabinets And draw fronts made from scratch and added a basic island no water no gas just a place to sit eat amd watch games
Do you have have videos that show how to install soft close cab hinges amd ball bearing hinges . I know if enough if I could see.a demo . I've ready cut out a.load bearing wall with no issues. This I just can't get my head around it. 10:10 10:1 I have pictures trying to figure out on how to post them.

Handles are the devil 😈
👍👍👍👏👏👏💯
a square knob like the other pulls in the center of that small drawer would look nice. I think the round is too different.
The jig I made was a scrap piece of cardboard I cut to size, with a hole in it where I made an X going from corner to corner. Worked great.
What got me was when my wife and I were choosing options for the house we were told it was going to be around $1000 to install knobs/handles. I just laughed at them - hell, the ones they were offering were cheap AND ugly, so I wasn't see any upside to grossly overpaying for something anyone could do with a drill and a beer.
Took two years, but Costco of all places was selling brushed nickle on brass knobs for about $1.25 a pop, so I grabbed all I needed and installed them the next day after work.
22:00: Now I don't know whether the perfectionist in me wants to center each handle within its own half of the drawer or go the equidistant route :\
Yeah thats a tough one.
Thank you for not putting knobs. They always catch my earphones and yank it out and hurt me or catch on my side pant pockets and tear my pants.
You also can't use knobs if you only have one finger clean and want to open drawers.
Knobs for drawers and doors are the worst things you can pick for your house.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Maybe they should include a set of airpods when you buy a pack of knobs... 😂 but really, thanks for watching and for the comment!
Do the knob
I did! 😀👍
I vote on “that” instead of “that”
Wish I showed you “this” as well
Why is using a jig cheating?
🤕
Have you lost some weight?
This is a fake account!!!! Not the REAL FIXER!!!!!
This guy didn't say AND WE'RE GONNA DO IT RIGHT NOW and POINT AT ME!!!!
Whoever you are, I'm not fooled!!!!
😆
Did you watch the first 7 seconds of the video?? 🤔🤣
@@TheFixerHomeRepair welp, i didn't catch that...my bad!
@@gregmize01 haha it’s all good. Thanks for stopping by!
Knob
Thanks, Cate!
