    I used these slides in a couple of bathroom vanities I recently built. I agree they take some figuring to get started, but once I had grasped what was going on, the building of the drawers and the installation went fine. I love the adjustability and the smooth operation of the slides. Definitely worth the premium price. Fortuanately a cabinet builder friend of mine had the Blum jigs for the drilling, but those Rockler jigs look way better to me. Great video.

    I’m so happy I came across this video. We had a snafu with our kitchen cabinets order and I know have to build a couple of drawers. I want them to be pretty similar to the look of the rest and they have under mount slides. I was thinking of using pocket holes and the same thickness for the material. It’s great to see exactly what I want to do has already been successfully accomplished.

  • @jeremymosescurtis
    @jeremymosescurtis Рік тому

    This was really helpful. What might have been even more helpful is if you had provided information on the Blum slide install when building inset drawers with a 1x2 face frame. I eventually figured it out but the 1 5/8" (13/16" x2) offset was not necessary and essentially gave me the wrong width on the drawers forcing a rebuild. Rockler does provide inset mounting brackets that get you where you want to be with the drawer before adding the drawer front that sits flush inside the face frame. It's on me but maybe try a vid doing that style construction? There isn't a whole lot out there regarding that style build and your tutorials are solid.

  • @paragmihir

    I just bought the 12” Blum tandem plus blumotion drawer slides and they actually measure 12.5” in length! Did you also have to account for the additional half an inch?

  • @Markus3400
    @Markus3400 3 роки тому +1

    Did you do any kind of finish coating for the plywood part of the drawer? I'm building some drawers myself, and am looking for a good finish, so they don't get stained or dirty and scuffed.

    When I make drawer boxes I just make a simple box (no inset) with bottom nailed and glued to drawer frame. I have never looked at a Blum undermount slide, is the ½" inset of the bottom required for mounting the slides or just to hide them? If required I guess I could add ½ strips to the sides of my simple boxes as there would be no need for inset on front or rear.

  • @Realism91
    @Realism91 4 роки тому +1

    I worked in a cabinet shop for a while, when I was there we did it cheap and fast, the drawer bottoms were 3/4 inch material and the Blum slides attached to them which meant the sides of the drawers were not structural so we just brad nailed those no dados, it takes probably 2 minute to assemble a drawer that way 36 Brad's and four screws and two holes. I haven't seen anyone do it that way on UA-cam.

    It was worth watching to see Rockler's jig versus Blum's I have seen in a few other videos . Rockler's looks better. One question, your drawer box used butt joint and Kreg type screw connection ... I am finding low strength when I use this joint w/ plywood panels. I am wondering how your corners are holding up?

    Isn't 13/16 the distance between the cabinet opening and the INSIDE of the drawer side? So for the drawer width would be "Opening" - (13/16 x2 ) + "thickness of drawer side" ? I'm trying to get this right before I order drawer boxes.

  • @achappel
    @achappel 4 роки тому +2

    Hey man! Great job on those drawers! (The entire bar really!) just a quick tip for maybe a bit easier way to make those drawers. You only really need to cut the groves for the bottom in the sides, and then cut the front and back to the same height as the top of the groove. That way you can just nail / screw the bottom in the front and back. That saves you the notches. And it allows you to screw those orange clips down into the front piece instead of at an angle. (And you don't need the jig) I've made quite a few of these over the years, and I've got a video where I build them for my workbench in my shop ( part 2) it might make more sense that way :P anyways, this turned out great! Hope this saves you a bit of time for the next one ;)

      It depends on the drawer sizes you want. I went with one larger bottom drawer and three equally sized smaller drawers. I just divided the space inside the cabinet based on that and subtracted about an inch between each drawer.

    Hi there! Excellent video, I’ve been following you for quite some time already and have learned a lot.
    My only challenge with all most of your videos is that you label them as “Easy DIY for this”.... however you toolset is not really close to be real for regular DIYers :) maybe it’s just me, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to accomplish this build with the regular woodworking tools I have.
    Keep doing what you’re doing, I really enjoy watching your creations.

      Thanks! While I agree with you for some projects, this cabinetry could easily be accomplished with a relatively inexpensive job site table saw, a drill, and a few jigs.

      Wynand Andre Basson, just subtract 1” from the height of the drawer opening for your drawer box. Example, 5” opening for the drawer, subtract 1” from the opening height which will make the drawer side 4” tall. Hope that helps you.

    Hey, thanks for the great video. Question: when you go through the math for drawer box width, you first say/show your drawer box interior to be 22 1/2". You do the math, which gives you 20 7/8" and then you say THAT's the width of your drawer box. How can the exterior (or even interior) be 20 7/8" when you say the interior is 22 1/2"? Thanks so much!

      Use the Blum drawer calculator to help with your calculations. www.hingmy.com/blumdrawers.php The calculations can change depending on your blum slide type and your joints (butt or dovetail). I find all these UA-cam Blum slides instructional videos always skim over or don't explain certain key details.
