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!!!
Fantastic video,I've being making draws today and found I was struggling with alot of things your video was super help full I can now go fix my mistakes thank you
Thank you, you have explained this the best I have seen yet.
Quick, to the point, and easy to understand. I also had an epiphany about the project I'm struggling with, and that was awesome. Thanks!
Just the right pace for someone beginning to understand how drawer slides are installed.
Very well demonstrated and explained. Thanks.
*Congratulations on your channel, great work*
By far the best for me thanks again for this share
love watching wood magazine videos
Holy hell. THANK YOU for this. I've been scratching my head about setting up drawer rail layout for a good while now, and this makes it absolutely simple to get it dead on.
Ten minutes of clear instructions. Thanks.
Very well explained. Thank you
Perfect, thanks a lot
Excellent. Thank you.
Awesome! Simple as it gets.
Very good video. Great detail shots!
Perfect teacher!! I liked very much. Thanks.
do you want him to drill you from behind?
Thanks for sharing. What are the pros and cons of your method against the other popular methods, such as mounting the cabinet slides first with a framing square, then attaching the drawer slides?
congratulations on ur channel for ur great job
Simply beautiful ❤️😍❤️
Phenomenal!
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?
Nice video. But you forgot to explain the detail on the spacing measurements of the drawers.
great job. many thanks.
Nice video. Thank you for sharing. Just wondering why do you mount the slides on the center of the drawers instead of flush to the bottom? Thanks again.
great video... 100% clear ...
Excellent work.
very helpful video! Thanks
Great video. Thanks
Beautiful work!
Excellent, você faz parecer fácil!
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)
Hands down, the best drawer slide install guide on youtube! Thank you!!!
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...
Thanks for the info. how did you determine the drawer height , based on your opening size ?
Thank you.
nice video....but what if the drawer fronts are outside the case, also if the bottom drawer and box are double size bigger than the other two?....tyvm!!!
Thanks for the video. I spent many hours trying to do just one drawer.
So many of these videos don't show us how to do things, step by step. They just fly through them, without instruction and expect everyone to know what they are doing and how. If I wanted suggestions I'd go on Pinterest...I come here for "how to" do things. You have passed all expectations! Great "how to" video. Now I think I can do this.
Can you please tell me or show me how to adjust the "Pull Out/Extension" on my desk drawer. The drawer won't pull out far enough to get to the back of it. I end up with space I can't get to because the drawer won't pull out far enough...Thank you
great info, this is like mastery of the dark art of drawer making, thanks for the video
K
once you determine how many drawers you want and the sizes how do you know how big to build your box?
Nice Work...
Muito bom. Sempre aprendendo detalhes.
WHAT! 🤯
great job thanks for the great video
The only problem that I can see with this project is that you know what you're doing! Thanks and Blessings!
very nice thank you
Excellent explanation.
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?
excellent
The best video 📹 ever clearly explained 👏 👌 🙌
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.
100% right with almost 0% fuss! Well played.
Great vid
Is it best to install the guides after building the cabinet?
Some draws are very deep, can I find these accessories in a regular store like Home Depot or Lowe’s?
Also, why don’t you use any glue for the draw face?
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
You know the video's old when he whips out that 14.4 Volt Dewalt, lol.
I noticed that too, so immediately checked the date. Was surprised to see it's only 2016!
@@frameriteairdrie578, But the video was clearly shot way before that because it has a 4:3 display ration and is only 480p.
And yet, it’s still relevant!
great vid.
Where can I find this exact plan for the carcass and drawers? Thanks.

This dude over here just flexed on all of us. Come on man, you making me look bad with my jacked up drawers.
Hi do you have a video on pocket concealed for cabinet door
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?
I was wondering that same exact thing....he doesn't explain it....
Excellent video and explanation.
One exception. You failed to show how you marked the center lines on the carcass.
I guess it's the same as the drawers plus an offset.
Excellent
Good demo, your tips were very important those who are DIY type of persons. I was about to do this, now I will do with care. Thanks a lot.
Wow nice 😀😀🙂
Good job
Great video. How do you determine the space required between the cabinet and the drawer to allow the slide to move properly?
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 :)
You should have explained that in the video. Apart from this, great info. Thanks.
What a ton of excellent information in under ten minutes. Very clearly presented.
Very nice video.tutorial. tnx. bro.
Thanks very much
Problem at 0:34 It's all easy if you have a drawer sized to fit the carcase with the glides. How do you do that?
Nice jobs
Nice guy
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?
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.
Thanks!
Superb
Easy step by step install
Thank you
I like your video very much
ممتاز أحسنتم صنعن

Why do you need a 1/8 inch offset when installing the drawer member on the side of the drawer?
I am working on a almost identical project. Can you provide dimensions for the inside of the carcass and the drawer boxes? Height is a priority since width is inside carcass width minus 1” for slides. Also, recommended height of drawer face in relation to drawer box height. Much appreciated
how did you get the center line of the box
Just measure the width and divide by 2
Why are auto-generated captions disabled for this video? Love your videos and would like at least something to give me an idea of what’s going on.
WOOD magazine I’m viewing on mobile, probably explains it. Thanks for your time.
Nice video sir
أحسنت.
How did you get your measurements in your cabinet
رائع حضرتك فنان
thank you for thoses présisions
How wide is the inside of the cabinet? How wide does each drawer have to be?
A perpect detail tuturial how to and ajusment.
superb...boom!!! 🇲🇾👍👌
i am new in this job...please support me my friend...thank you
finally someone who did it right
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?
He did,for example the drawer box center line measurement is what he use to mark on the inside the cabinet.
you need add 3mm to the template you make to allow for the draws not hitting each other plus making sure the draws are made to allow for tolerance
ITS DAMNED AWESOME
You dont have to keep the runners centered. I usually mount them at the bottom. It really does not matter where they are on the drawer box
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.
How do you align the drawers
Frameless construction, should be noted. If your cabinet has face frames, it is totally different
I am want to work with you
ya forgot all the layout math.........which is probably what most viewers were looking for. Otherwise, nice job. Thankyou
As a beginner woodworker I couldn’t agree more 😂😂😂😂
guess you have to have your sliders first so you know what size to make drawers hope i make sennse , are the sliders in lots of different sizes
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!
who produce this drawer slides?
