Thanks Russ, I really do like your idea of mocking up the already assembled drawer sides in the cabinet cavity, to get the exact measurements for the making of the drawers, a great idea. There will be no excuses for me now...Thank you.
Hey that was fun! I am convinced, however, that videos are made to trick me into trying things! You make it look easy; I can only dream of having such sweet success. And such sweet equipment that is an amazing shop you've got there. My cabinet that sticks also holds my cast iron dutch oven as well as all my s/s pots and pans. It has the exact same glides but somewhere along the way it catches and grinds to a halt, which is when I use my feet to push it the rest of the way in. I am thinking something is out of true, and if so, how can it be fixed without a total do-over? If I really took the time to investigate I would find the answer but the fix is a whole 'nother story.
Suzanne Ferenczy When these glides bind, you can try two things. Take the drawer out and try some WD40 or other spray lubricant on the glides. That sometimes frees things up. If it binds a lot, that usually means that the distance between the two glides closes in a bit in that area. Measure the distance between your glides and make sure if its even. If it's not quite right in a spot, you could try to take a chisel and work that area down a bit. Hope this helpls

Good video bud. Clear explanations, good camera work & easily understood audio.
Great vid. Very helpful explanations and good camera angles to show all the work. Thanks
Thanks, Russ. Helps a lot. Heading to the store now to buy supplies. :)
Great video thanks Russ!
Love the Nitto Sand Grapplers on the truck :)
Excellent video. Very clear and informative.
wow nice video. cant wait for the next one
I found that a 3/16" up spiral router bit makes up for the loose gap that a stacked dado set makes for the bottom plate since it's not a true 1/4"
and the video was a great demo

I'm so surprised to find your reply, never thought to check for it! I'd like to try that solution, thank you so much.
the finish I used on the drawers was an oil based wipe on polyurethane.
+Russ Richards This is so cool! I'm thinking about making some when I build my own house. :)
What kind of mitre saw measuring device do you have/recommend?
Hey Russ, what was the solvent used for finishing?
I used a oil based wipe on polyurethane.
anyway to void dadoing out past the drawer front for the bottom?
Johnson Mike you could stop the router a bit before you break thru. That would work well if you are not using a drawer front to cover it up
"relatively inexpensive, $85" ... DONE! WTF am I doing with my life...?
