  • Limiting yourself to building cabinets or furniture without drawers is like driving a car without a steering wheel--in both cases, you won't get too far. Don't be intimidated by today's drawer-slide hardware. Using a quick jig and a repeatable step-by-step process, WOOD Magazine's Jeff Mertz shows a super simple method that makes mounting drawers easy.

    Very clear and useful video. My cabinet looks exactly like yours, so I was chuckling. Could not be a more perfect example, since even the drawers, slides are identical. Many thanks for this very apropos video!!!

    Great explanation!
    Question: what if the cabinet is not perfectly square? That is, what if it gets slightly narrower as it goes from front face to back of the cabinet? I made a cabinet-styled workbench for my shop and would like to put drawers in it. However, it turns out that the back horizontal space is just under 1/16th inch narrower than the front (like 2 or 3/64ths to be more precise). Is there a reliable way to account for this sloppiness to ensure that the drawer doesn't bind up?

    Well done vid, but I didn't see where you allow for clearance so that the bottom of the drawer doesn't drag when you do your layout on the cabinet box, or does the design of slides actually allow for this ? (difference in width between the inner and outer tracks)

    I d like the drawers removable from the cupboard so I can take them with me when I move...that s alot of work to leave them there...is it possible to make a shelf inside the cabinet that sets in and a drawer can be attached on the flat bottom surface of the shelf? It may not be ideal but its functional and I can take the set up with me...

    Once I have the carcass made that I am going to put drawers into, should I make the actual drawers (for example) 1/2" shorter than the depth of the carcass to allow for the 1/8" drawer slide being pushed back towards the rear?

    Personally, I would attach the hardware through the drawer face and the drawer box itself (buy longer screws). Makes for a much fast and easier hardware change. And in doing this, counter sinking isn't necessary. But it does give it a more detailed finish.

    • @richardlug6139
      @richardlug6139 5 років тому

      Reason for no glue is so if you ever want to refinish the draw fronts you can just remove the fronts and not the whole drawer. Also if the drawer front is ever damaged you could just get a new front and not the whole drawer

    @anthonystrother9117 6 років тому +5

    Ok, I confess I can be a bit dense at times. I see that you have three equal size drawers that at the end appear to be equally spaced in the box. What is the math you used to measure where to place the second and third drawers? I understand that you measure to the center point on the first drawer and mark that on your case inside from the top? But if just measure down two more times the same amount from the first mark, then the second mark, will not the drawers literally sit on top of one another?

    • @CharleyDC5R
      @CharleyDC5R 8 років тому +1

      It all depends on the drawer slides you use. All you need to do is measure the thickness of the drawer slide you are using. Normally, 1/2" is the standard, but I always double check before actually building the drawers :)

    Do you simply take the inside measurement of the case and subtract the drawer slides x 2 to get the proper draw width? Or do you need a little wiggle room?

    • @heyimamaker
      @heyimamaker 6 років тому

      That's simple enough. I never knew if you needed a little extra or of simply measuring the box + the slides would be too tight.

    Not clear how you transferred the drawer center lines to the box? Video just says, "Now mark the center lines on the box." With the drawer false fronts extending above and below the drawer box, plus the clearance space above and below each drawer, that seems like a lot of measuring that could throw everything off as you work up a stack of drawers. I see you use a template to repeatably find the center lines on the same spot on each drawer...no such trick or technique for transferring those center lines to the cabinet slides?

      @age_of_reason 5 років тому

      What do you mean 'transfer'? He didn't transfer anything. He just drew a line down the center of the box. It's self-explanatory. So much overuse of language in the instructions and comments. 'False front'...why 'false'? Just call it what it is, the 'drawer face' = drawer face and
      'front of the box' = front of box'. Americans always feel the need to embellish the language to sound professional and cause so much confusion in the process. I wrote instructions at work and was a stickler for optimizing language. And you sint draw any lines on the actual slides. 🙄 I don't understand all this double speak.

      @mikewashere9660 6 років тому +2

      Most , ..or every ball bearing side mounted slides I've ever used is 1/2" for each slide x 2, i.e. the drawer should be less 1" (if contending with less than perfect sizing, it's always better to side with more than an inch less rather than trying to pinch the slides!) less than the carcase! there are wings on the slide for a reason! This goes for slow close also.. Always check to make sure as manufacturing does make errors from time to time! I always check sizes with a good micrometer slide to measure with!
      Precision goes hand in hand with the master crafter! But a reasonable video for the DYI!
