    I am ASTOUNDED at the number of people who complained he left out a lot of steps and didn’t show the final product. They just need to click the link in the description to see the full magazine article with step by step explanation and pictures!

    Wait! you didn't really show how you built the carcass of what the drawers sit in. Like you skipped a whole lesson. I have those same heavy duty slides, but not sure how to frame out the base. How did you do that?

    • @tjbrewster5
      @tjbrewster5 3 роки тому +7

      Exactly what I was thinking. You showed the easy stiff that is basically self explanatory. I’m wanting to know how you built the actual drawer and how it is attached to the rails.

    If the slides didn’t come apart how did he get screws into the side of the drawer closest to the wall?

    • @mr.wizeguy8995
      @mr.wizeguy8995 3 роки тому +1

      It need to screw for drawer first then extend slide to full length and screw it to wall by crouching behind drawer from previous opening.

    It’s not Andy retiring, it’s the Chiefs forcing him out. Patrick’s legacy will grow greater than Andy Reid’s. With that being stated one must go. Patrick doesn’t want the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick conversation. He will do it with a new coach and therefore I won’t look like such a conspiracy theorist with this comment.

      Anything's possible to DIY don't expect it to be finished in a weekend if you fitting it into family life.. just make sure the significant other understands it'll be messy ...
      Once I showed the ideas of the space to the Mrs and the potential she was all in ... You'd be surprised what contractor who built your place didn't clean out if that spot ... Mine was a mess but given other things I have run into with our house I wasn't surprised

    I've been planning shelves with doors under the stairs, but I think the drawer idea works better because you can then access the full depth of the space. This construction is simple, and works well. Thanks.
    My space is the full height of a 16-stair flight, so I'll probably divide it up into smaller sections.
