    This video details how I turned a small cupboard under the stairs into a pull out storage drawer system.
    For full build details, see this projects Instructables article.

    Angle Finder - amzn.to/347jkRt

    The drawers are made a plywood screwed and glued together with a white MDF front panel. They sit on a frame fixed to a pair of 80kg 800mm pull out drawer runners for each drawer. The drawer runners are mounted to a 4"x2" frame fixed to the floor and walls of the cupboard with steel L brackets.
    The project took me 2 full weekends to build, plus a few evenings to paint and varnish.
    I used a primer/undercoat on the MDR front panel and a waterbased satin interior paint that I applied with a roller.

    @nitchster Před 5 lety +4

    Brilliant work and video Neil! I've been planning a similar project for a year now and seemingly carpenters are afraid/unwilling to do this so I have no excuses for not doing it on my own. Your video definitely made me much more confident that my skills are sufficient, and I'll get to doing it over the coming month or two.
    Just a few questions (I hope that's OK):
    1. How sturdy did the rails feel? I'm doing my pull outs in a loft and they're therefor taller. While they'll stay under 80kg including the content, I was wondering if I should invest in a higher load rating (160kg or 250kg) just to be on the safe side.
    2. Can you please post a link to the mechanical latch you used? Can't find it anywhere.
    Many thanks Neil! I've subscribed and am looking forward to more videos.

    • @NeilLovegrovemaker
      @NeilLovegrovemaker  Před 5 lety +2

      Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you've found it useful!
      The runners are pretty sturdy but It's difficult today if you'd need a heavier duty. You could always add an additional runner at the top of the drawer to support if it was not very stable.
      The latch came from ebay. I don't post a link as they die as soon as the auction ends, but have a search for 'loft hatch latch' and you'll find plenty.
      Good luck with it. Let me know how it goes 👍
      Ps next project should be posted soon!
