In this video I go over, in-depth, step-by-step, how I go about making sliding doors for various woodworking projects. I go over a more simple method and a nicer, but more complex method. But I break it all down so that anybody can do it, and no hardware is needed.

What is angle or box joint?aThe author does like to ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
So glad I grew up in a country with the metric system.
and im glad my parents did
When you grow up with feet and inches, it just makes sense. You can be just as precise with Imperial as you can with Metric. Maybe the math is a little easier with metric, but that's why we have calculators.
This is the kind of information the people need! Thanks, Chris!
You have changed my mind about sliding doors. Beautiful work. I'm going to incorporate more of these into my work. Thank you!
Nice clean lined work.
Thoughtfully produced, quietly explained videos.
No hype.
Great work ,well done.
Probably one of the best explanations on how to properly build sliding doors I've come across... even if you don't make fine furniture and only shop cabinets. Great presentation and video production.
In term quality, this is awesome. Excellent accessible instructional video. This is why I’m a proud Patreon supporter. Bravo!
I very much appreciate your thorough descriptions and reasoning for the choices that you make. Of course, your delivery is great as well, thank you.
This was incredibly helpful. I just did sliding doors and your tutorial was all I needed. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. Built my first cabinet today and used your sliding door method to get results that were a lot better than I expected.
I love these kind of videos, and you do a great job of explaining each step. Thank you for the content!
Great explanation for using this technique, Chris~! I've actually been looking for something like this, so your timing is great.
Thanks much~!
Excellent video! Articulate, succinct, but all the necessary details. Thank you for not rambling on just to hear yourself talk as so many online videos do.
Excellent tutorial - thanks a whole lot, I really appreciate it and found it easy to understand. I was about to start planning construction of a credenza which will need sliding doors. This helped me settle some thoughts I had had, and convinced me not to go down the expensive sliding hardware route.
I’ve never built a cabinet with a sliding door before and just a weekend warrior in the shop. But with this video, I built a sliding door on my cabinet in just a few short hours. My wife is very pleased with the results!
This video is awesome!!! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for providing the video and the millimeter version; they are incredibly helpful for those of us imperially impaired.
Very informative! Need to let this digest then come back and re-watch a few times!
Great job explaining.. and not getting to technical..as a newbie wood worker this was a great video to help me out with some questions..
Fantastic video! I just got a commission for a cabinet that requires sliding doors for exactly the reason you mentioned: space limitations. Been puzzling out exactly how to do it and your tongue and groove explanation was exactly what I needed. Keep up the great work, Chris!
I love these in depth videos. What an amazing groove you have 😉
Great explanation! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
My favourite how to of yours yet. Great video.
Love your work and ideas, I wish I could build a workshop like yours. That's awesome.
Love the details and instructions. Thank you so much for the video!
Excellent video. Great graphics. These tips really helped with my full size shoji doors.
Love this style of video! So much value!
I appreciate you putting in MM, Thankyou awesome video as always. Thanks Chris
Thanks for the tips and the graphics 🙏👍
Perfect technical video - great job! 👍
Great explanation one of the best in the topic, thanks Chris am ready to do my slide door without hardware which is awesome, the furniture that you use for the explanation looks beautiful, really nice design and with the sliding doors, wooow real nice thanks great content,
Thank you for the helpful video, please keep up the excellent work and explanation on the details of the video. Love your woodworks SKILLS
Love these informative videos and your content in general! Keep up the good work
Great way of explaining this. Thanks. Subscribed!
I am only sorry I can thumbs-up this video only once. The whole video is filled with some really informative stuff and I particularly appreciate the animations. Imagine the time that goes into making them. Enough said.
Impressed. Thanks a lot. Learned so much in less than half an hour.
Thank you for this, very thorough and informative!
Chris, I think you read my mind. Every time I have an idea, you drop a video on the exact topic I'm looking to learn more about. I've built two of your designs now, and always feel confident following your instruction. Thanks for everything you do.
Thanks man...appreciate it. Glad you're enjoying the videos gaining something from them :)
I just built my first sliding door cabinet and your tips helped a lot, 80 x 36 x 13 inches deep. I aimed for 3/4 overhang just like you recommended. The sliding doors are 40 x 33 and I used half inch and there bowed but it’s a shop cabinet and it’s practice for the real furniture I’ll build for the house. My shop is 1.8 metres wide by 4.8 meters long, super small shop in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
Your videos are so ridiculously informative. So I mean this honestly, “thank you”. Also, The Barkley’s look great. Cheers!
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Thanks Chris! I made sliding doors today and I wish I would have seen the video before :)
Such sweet explanation- thank you!
Thank you very much for this video. It is very helpful for me.. You make absolutely stunning furniture, so beautiful and sophisticated it is a pleasure to watch.
Great video, and beautifull work man!
Would you ever use a full width groove on the top and a tongue groove on the bottom? The benefit being you won't see any part of the tongue at the top.
you are such a good explainer. thx a lot !
I love your videos. Your a great teacher and make it so easy for a beginner like me to follow along. I would love to be able to do a build with you and you teach me
Brilliant video, great how to explained yourself in several ways 👌🏻
Excellent video!!! Thank you so much for all the valuable information.
Exceptional content, animations, explanations-you saved me hours of trial and error.
I enjoyed that. It's was interesting to hear what you say and what sizes you recommend. Great work Chris 👍
Thank you. I never think of doing doors this way.
Great video. 14:52 Looking forward to more plans in your plans section.
i think i´ve told in other videos, I Love you! you are a genius!!
Even though I don't have plans to build something with sliding doors, watching helped my improve the way I think about approaching dimensions and fits. Thanks!
That is great. Appreciate it.
I remember doing this for our wood work classes back in high school . From Malaysia
Great info, Chris.
Bill
- Awesome video & info. Thanx 4 sharing.
Perfect timing! Wanted to embark on a console build with sliding doors soon!
Nice. Hope this helps
Me too :-)
It feels nice when you add metric. Thanks. Also... I would love it if you threw in an oldschool-foureyes video every once in a while. I've been rewatching all the old stuff couse I miss it 😄
Some poetic/philosofic/pun-ic narrative and other-chris guitar track ❤
Hi Chris, love your videos and the clarity of your explanations. I’m not from the US though so I’m not familiar with the Imperial system, could you please include Metric measurements too?
Why so amazing dude? This vid is sooo good and well explained and all that I can't help but be aggressively amazed, haha (I'm planning to make a closet 130x140~ for a small room, and I needed much much this info for my planning! Thanks)
This is great, man. Thanks so much.
Great video Chris!
This is such a great video!
I don't own a table saw nor router, but I am subbing right now! Why? This guy is so down to Earth. He doesn't skip or race through project. I recently bot 2 Bluetti AC300s & 2 B300s. I can't find a cart, rack or cabinet that will properly fit my power station. Because I live in rural America & keeping my Power Station in my outdoor kitchen (once I install a Transfer Switch (electrical sub-panel) I have no choice but to build a cabinet with doors due to the insane amount of dust accumulation. (I am surrounded by Agricultural open acres of land all around me.) Sliding doors are the way to go b/c they don't eat up extra space required when you open them. I now am excited cuz this guy has taught me how!!!!! I can do this!!!!
Thanks a million! I am off to buy my 1st router now!!!!
Oh, anyone have recommendations on what I should be looking for in a router? Will the more expensive ones be worthwhile over the cheaper ones?
thank you for a great learning video and for using mm as well
Great video ! Much appreciated.
You sound so natural when you explain all the steps that your projects involve. I was not aware of the hard work behind the scenes. The quality that you give us in each video is impressive. THANK YOU.
Thanks man...it definitely isn't a natural thing for me to talk on camera and explain. But I guess I've gotten very used to it over the years.
You're awesome I understood perfectly 😊🦋
Warby parker is just for USA and CANADA only... anyway still your no.1 fan here in the philippines.. keep it upand goodbless... stay safe... more power to foureyes.
Perfect! My next project will hopefully include sliding doors. This was helpful
Sweet. It's a pretty easy feature :)
Thanks for making this great video, really useful content.
This video was awesome! I really appreciate how you broke down the math is this. :)
Thanks...glad you found it helpful :)
great video! exactly what I needed, thanks man!
Your videos are the BEST! I’m learning so much. I plan to buy some of your plans as well. Thank you!
Thank you so much...they''ll be there for you when you're ready :)
Dam you're good at making instructional videos - this is just what I'm looking for thank-you.
Thank you brother
It looks great. Can this way be applied on tall cabinet doors like closet?
Thanks Master...I learnt a lot of this originally Japanese technique... No hardware at all!!!... Greetings from Medellin!!!
Gracias por el Video Chris, invaluables consejos.
Out of the sunglasses I prefer the Barkley or Downing, for you face I think the Barkley ones look the best. Great video man, thanks for all the tips!
Awesome video!
That was great. Thanks!
Great video. Thank you.
nice presentation... keep it up...
Vocês são incríveis! Parabéns pelo trabalho espetacular!
I taught for 38 years. You have a gift.
Great content!
This was so fascinating to watch. I love your channel for all the in-depth explanations and illustrations/animations, but this time you even out-did yourselves! I do have one question/idea: Would it be a good idea (read: possible) to make a groove in the bottom tongue of the sliding door and add a wheel/bearing for better sliding? I was thinking you could drill a hole from the inside of the door towards the outside, and stopping before you go all the way through and using a dowel that holds this bearing in place? You would probably need a wider tongue, and thus a thicker door, but I don't see that as a dealbreaker necessarily.
If that's doable, you would basically have invisible wheels, if I'm conceptualizing it correctly.
super awesome video! thanks so much for your sliding panel door insight. One question that I had after watching, Im one of those without a table saw, but I ido have my trusty Festool Of1400 Router. I can see making the Grooves, but would have loved to see you making some tongue cuts on the door panels with a router to see how you would go about it. Any tips for cutting the tongue from the doors using a plunge router?
It was so interresting
Thanks
Ideal for galley kitchens!
Thanks, great video!!! Learned a lot!!
Nice video. I have a big cabinet job with quite a few sliders like this, yet it's painted. Wondering about sticking paint and wear on the sliding area. But a nice option if I don't find any hardware.
Thank you!
You always explain well how to do useful things. With sliding doors, I've found it useful to think about what happens if dirt gets in the groove. A hole at the end of the travel, through the bottom of the groove can be helpful.
Good call. I've never though about that before. I suppose I would probably go for a vacuum if I ever faced that :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture I guess the ones where I found it needed were in a preschool. Under less challenging circumstances it's less important.
Thank you brother fantastic video. Go cubs
Thanks for the mm measures
Good stuff Bro!😎Harris
