How to convert kitchen cabinet shelves into pull out drawers. Use the existing shelf for the bottom of the drawer, just add sides and drawer slides.

You Rock Girl.
I hate cabinets that don't have pull-out drawers.
Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks on how to make this process easier.
Thanks for watching!
It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better czcams.com/users/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.
This video combined with one of your more recent videos on install the drawer slides before building the drawer + attaching drawer slides to the sides of the drawer itself ahead of building the drawer is blowing my mind right now.
I'm so happy I found this channel! I'm looking forward to making my way through a bunch more of the content.
Glad it was helpful, thanks!
Drawers are so much more useful than a big empty cabinet. Consider a pull out on the bottom for easier access to the pans. Bravo.
glasses...
this is perfect! you've read my mind! i loved seeing your system of organization in the background. thank you, Ana!
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement czcams.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Great idea to use the shelf pins to hold up the glides while you attach them! Getting those straight and level is the hardest part.
Wow. I have 50 years experience with wood working and power tools and I have to say I was very impressed with your wood working skills, proper use of tools, and presentation. Great job.
... 50 years woodworking experience and yet you have nothing to say about her ignoring every basic safety rule?
This is a great addition to any cabinet. My wife is disabled and can't stoop down to find out what is in the back of the cabinet, so I added these types of rolling shelves to the cabinets when I built her kitchen. Now she just pulls out the drawer and can see everything without wondering what is at the back that she can't see.
Just found your channel and I can tell I am going to enjoy looking through your projects and techniques.
Welcome:)
I am surprised you didn't put a drawer slide on the bottom of the cabinet to hold your pots and misc. I am not into carpentry I am into quilting and I must say you did a fantastic job. I had to hire a local cabinet company to install my drawer pullouts two per cabinet. The reason for the bottom cabinet slide out was because I had to have a total knee joint and knee cap replacement from a bad fall and therefore I am unable to get down on my knees to fetch items from the back of the lower shelf. It allows me to utilize all of my lower cabinets with ease and I am thankful for these slide outs for sure...you are a very gifted lady and did a beautiful job.
I've been trying to talk my daughter into doing this. I'm going to share this video with her. Thanks for an easy upgrade to a kitchen cabinet. Good video.
What a great project. If my wife sees this, I will be very busy making them. Do us all a favor and protect your beautiful brown eyes with safety glasses! Especially when shooting nails or staples! It only takes one accident to blind you!
John Treble how creepily helpful of you
)
Don't forget the dust mask....those power tools can put up a lot of fine dust.
.....and the hair!
why would you be making them. This broad just showed her how to do it.
This is a woman that has the tools...and knows how to use them.
I bet you made your Dad very proud. Thank you for the education.
Keep smiling... Ana you look marvelous !!
We are remodeling our kitchen, and I think this would be perfect for the pantry cabinet. Thank you for the detailed instructions you gave. Always makes it easier when you have a step by step to follow.
Great video to encourage women they not only know how to yarn but learn to be a carpenter
Great idea and well explained. I would be inclined to put a pullout at the bottom to make the pots more accessible. Somehow I think I am am about to do both of them! Thanks for the demo,
Thank you for this. I have a huge cabinet that needs to have the shelves converted to pull outs. So happy to see this is an option. I've been fighting with this cabinet to find anything for years! so many things don't get used because they're hidden in the back.
I love this tutorial!! I desperately need pull out drawers because my kitchen lacks a pantry but I don't have a table saw needed for making drawers. This is PERFECT!
Nice job, love how smooth and functional the finished product is. Also, great tools.
Very hardworking woman. It really hard for doing this kind of job for girls
Genius! Love this! As an aging person, this will be a tremendous help! Thank you!
Could’ve also cut the plywood spacers (slides are attached to), the height equal to the spacing of the holes for the pins used the shelves. Place the plywood (slides) with pins under and pins above. That way you could just have the shelves sitting in there and could raise or lower them when required. They wouldn’t go anywhere as they’d be held up by the pins top and bottom. Great tips. 🇨🇦👍🏼
Yes, that is another great way to make adjustable shelves!
Can someone make a video on this? All videos about redoing cabinets on CZcams are so old! 😅
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to make it. A woman with her own tools. . . . . . . a rare find!
Thank you. My husband thought I was crazy when I wanted to start building up my tool collection. I wear the tool belt in our family. I love my Ryobi tools.
Ericcia WILLIAMS, same here. Plus,
If anything gets built of fixed in our house, I am the one doing it😉
Same, I was so excited to start the collection with a mini chainsaw (12 inch) for Christmas. We are a Makita family ;-)
Glad you are catching up I have been put drawers in lower case cabinnets since the early '70, sorry 1970's.
Awesome! Thanks for the visit:)
Thanks for the education. I just found six large slide out draws with high end hardware.
Went to Habitat for Humanity Store....each draw was $2.50 each...what a find.
Very happy on how they came out ...hardware even has a automatic pull in slide.
No more having to bend down and dig while making a mess.....GREAT JOB !!
I can not thank you enough for making this video. I moved into a house with odd sized cabinets. And I need to make pull out draws like yours, but didn’t know how to. Thanks again. 👍🏻
We did roll outs on all of our cabinet 14 in all we did both top and bottom and the pantry cabinet also. I used maple rails and 1/4” maple plywood shelves dadoed into the side rails. Finished with multiple coats of sprayed table top finish that we normally use in our cabinet shop.
Sounds great!
One option would be to create a rack on the inside of the cabinet door to store all your oot lids. That makes them very easy to get to and frees up space in one of the drawers.
Love your videos and how to's. I've been doing woodworking for a while but your videos show that a non-woodworker can do it too. Plus, you have GREAT feet with absolutely gorgeous arches!!!
Now you have to make another one for your pots below your lids. Nice project. Joinery weaknesses from your method, and every one wants to keep you safe I also noted. Thanks for sharing.
Cabinet drawer conversions are exceptional, Ana. Cabinets with pull drawers are sold all over the place these days )7 years after this vid. You showed us how to make them as good/better, and significantly less expensive. Winners, winners, chicken 🐓 dinners!
Thanks for watching Amanda!
@@AnaWhiteDIY You’re welcome, Ana! Thanks for putting good/great stuff out consistently…👍🏻
Love to see a lady that knows to do things! Lucky man your husband. Way to go man!
This is now on my bucket list. Just started working on my kitchen. This is going to be a big help
Nice job. Well done project and video. Simple instructions, good video angles and you had a nice even pace without a lot of useless chatter. Excellent!
I converted the clothes closet next to my fridge to 6 shelves with slide out drawers very similar to what you did. Like yours, the increase in functional space was well worth the effort.
Great job! Really helpful. Your explanation and attention to detail made the project look very approachable.
Thank you
I love the simplicity of the instructions. Easy and quick THANK YOU!!!!!!!
+Chorchas68 Great, thanks for watching!
You Go Girl!! This is so RIGHT ON TIME!! I'm remodling my kitchen for Functionality. I went on CZcams after Praise & Worship and here you are looking like a Star
Love it! I'm imagining a pullout organizer for my wife's hairdryer and curler that could fit inside our bathroom cabinets using some metal "cup" inserts to receive the hot items and an integrated power strip. Seen this done? The trouble is we have only door cabinets with the center stile.
ImpressiveI Beautifully done! I love how passionate you're and good the drawer looks.
Several years ago I did this for the lower shelves of my Mother-in-Law's pantry. What a difference. When she emptied the shelves she found six cake mixes on the bottom because they kept getting pushed to the back out of both sight and reach. I built my own kitchen and there isn't a single fixed shelf in any of the lower cabinets. Even the very bottoms are pull-outs.
Nice, Robert-Even 2+years after your post! 👍🏻
Love love love this video!
Not everybody has a table saw, router table, or pocket hole jig.
Your joining method of wood glue and staples are plenty strong enough for this little drawer and should last for a very long time, especially since you didn't use MDF material as well.
Keep up the great work.
l31007 any serious woodworker will have these items.
@@wstibbs1 And what about people who _aren't_ 'serious woodworkers', Wendy? This channel isn't aimed solely at 'serious woodworkers'.
A rather dismissive comment... 😞
ana i love all your tutorials .. really love love thank you this is one i have been wanting to do,,
Thank you for showing us..
Pull outs are the best thing for a new kitchen you might laugh with this one but I installed pull out's for my garage as well. I only have shelves on wall not base cabinets, great job Ana.
The tip is pretty cool and definitely doing this. Easier to install the cab member first, with drawer member inside already. Then pull out drawer member partially to attach the drawer; less margin of error. Also, on the drawer slides, those little tabs along the outside can be used for easy width adjustments. I myself learned the hard way lol. Great vid and your eyes are to die for :)
Love a woman who isn't afraid of getting dirty. Keep up the good work.
i have all pull out lower cabinets (i had both bottom shelves pull out) what a difference! no more kneeling on the floor hunting for things.
I think I'd use a simple gig to place the drawer guides at the right place, especially if doing a many. - Love you, ANNA and All - Ken in Hawaii
The last few secounds melted my heart. You are extremely beautiful!
Thanks for the visit!
You explained it very well and easy to follow all your steps. Great job!
You go girl! I too love tools! But the miter saw is my favorite.
Great little project and i found this at just the right time. Planning this kind of project in our bathroom cabinets.
Thanks! Your video help me a lot!!! I couldn't find any roll out shelf in the market that fit in my cabinet without waisting space.
Recently I converted our whole pantry (cupboard style) into pull-out trays. Each side had 3 shelves, plus the bottom. So 4 levels. With the trays, I was able to increase it to 5 levels, because I could make 1 or 2 levels very shallow to hold small things like cans or small items. That won't work on regular shelves, but for pull-outs it's perfect, because you can open it to get the small things at the back.
I would love that in my kitchen 😍 the sliding draws are good too
so this was ur first video I watched and I subscribed right away and I actully turned two of my cabinets into roll outs already ..so glad
Wonderful, thank you!
love the 'shim on the bracket first' thing... am doing pullout for all my cabinets and luckily am just now building boxes so will be able to use this before mounting them...thanks again, as always...
+deemail100 Thank you for watching!
You did such a wonderful job. You encouraged me to make my own instead of asking to my husband.
Love the way you say, ‘it’s easy’!. Right! Have tools , will work! Good idea, I could sure use them. Thanks for ur tips.
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful! I love seeing Toolbelt Divas!
I love it!! You are so talented. I appreciate that you teach us all to do DIY projects!! And i love your house too!! The tiny house you built as well!!!
Thank you so much!
Ana you’re work is amazing and so are you! 😍
Thank you so much!
Nice job Ana. These pull outs are so convenient, especially for bending impaired people like me. I did all my lower cabinets.
Fantastic Scott!
Another great video Ana!
You’re adorable! Woodworking in a peplum top! Love it!
Another awesome idea by Anna!
came out really good - well done
A family member has all pull out drawers in the lower cabinets. I want this for my next kitchen.
My dad was a carpenter. When remodeling the kitchen he put nothing but drawers on the lower cabinets. Best idea ever!! No reason to even have a cabinet drawer. I wish designers would start doing that. RV's do it.
I've been thinking of doing this for so long. We use plastic trays that we slide out so we can see what's at the back. I really must get on with it. My plan is to do some under the sink cut at a shape to fit round the plumbing making the best of the space available. Nice job well done.
This was a cool idea and it allows customization. Thank you for the tutorial.
I am a big fan of all of your work. I love this idea too🤗
And I can't even get my wife to hold a piece of wood steady while I tack it in place...great job! Your other half should be very proud of you, and the subsequent work you've done since this one.
forgive me if you have completed this video already but I'd like for you to create a "my favorite tools" episode. Best sander/nailer/glue/pocket hole jig/drawer glides/etc. You are amazing, continue the great work! You make it look easy!
Great suggestion! For now here is a post to check out www.ana-white.com/beginning-woodworking
love it, this will certainly help our Plain-Jane kitchen cabinets pop a little more.
FYI, keep up the good work, your videos keep getting better and better each time. Your Coffee X Table was the project that got me into woodworking. Thank you for all the hard work you do!
Andy Martindill Thanks so much! Happy to hear the coffee table worked out for you!
I have wondered how to do this. I have a 1986 Fleetwood motor home I'd like to fix, the spaces under the sink and stove are so deep, but when packed, you cannot get to the items in the back. This information will help me work on that, someday, hoping to go on the road full time...wanting to fix my 'home' up to be more user friendly. Thank you...and I can practice in our home as well, it needs a lot of work too. It's a 1974, and needs a lot of TLC before we can sell it. Thanks so very much! I think I can do this now.
I like the cabinets, and nice job on the drawer.
So so so sick of my phone listening to me. I did not look up anything on the internet or look on CZcams of doing something like that. Last week I was telling my 7 year old son I want to build a sliding shelf for the Pan's will not Fallout of the kitchen cabinet on to the floor. Of Course I had my phone on the kitchen counter. So what pops up on CZcams a five-year-old video of what I was thinking of. At least the woman in the video explaining it is gorgeous and beautiful.

First I was thinking why a drawer, you have enough drawer above the cabinet. But than I saw the lids there and I think nice idea. I will keep this idea in mind. Thank you.
Great Project. Can't wait for my hubby to start
Wow u are amazing gorgeous lady! I am a total new subscriber from across the pond in London. I just came across ur video & now i see just how easy u made this look i am so gonna try get my act together & do much needed diy tasks in my home. I cant even change a plug or put a shelf up but i am so lookibg foward to following ur channel & learning from u. Thank u.
That gives me confidence!! I can do this!! I would add a pull out under that top one for the pans as well 😃using the shelf pins to hold it!! Genious😀
Great video Ana, thanks so much, I really love your channel
I LOVE this pull out drawer!!
You're an inspiration to a lot of people.
Thanks for being you !!
+Marc Knight Thank you for the kind words Marc!
Looks fantastic!!! Great work!
I love it!.... Draws are so much easier, and you've made an easy inexpensive answer! 😃
Drawers.
Girl you have amazed me with this video. You are my idol.
Having a second lower drawer would have been nice too. Thanks for sharing
You are AWESOME Ana White!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome. I've been thinking of doing something like this to store our heavy stand mixer. I'll use heavy duty full extension sliders though.
Great tutorial. I can't wait to make some pull out drawers for my kitchen.
GREAT!
Great job with such simple tools
Thanks 👍
I'm having some serious tool envy here! 😍
Terrific demonstration. Great narration. Consider adding higher sides and higher back for kitchen cabinets to keep items from falling off sliding drawer. Agree with comments about eye protection and hair tie. I just subscribed to see more of your demonstrations. Thanks
Live it! I'm going to try to use this project instructions for toe kick drawers!
I just took a break, in the midst of doing this very procedure, to verify how many screws you used to secure the shelf mounts :). Thank you for your empowering videos.
Hi, Ana. I love this idea. It'll make for much more organized storage. I don't think you took into account the finish on your shelf/ drawer bottom, though. It'll prevent the glue from bonding to the bottom. Staples may be enough to hold it, or you could scrape/ sand off the finish before applying the glue. Thanks for the video.
Dan
Nice work. I will have to do this to my cabinets so my wife has some organization in the kitchen...thanks for a great tutorial and a great idea.
Glad it was helpful!
I added pullouts to our kitchen a total of 14, 2 per cabinet. I wish I had used shelf pins for level what a great idea!!! Also your hair is fine some aways need to find fault. I even cook on a gas stove with my hair down .
