    I wonder where in America or internet, I can find good sliders like those you are using. Are they specify by weight resistant?

    • @DPShopTalk
      @DPShopTalk  7 років тому +20

      +Joey Cymbals I always use 100 lb weight rated slides for drawers and pull outs. I'll put a couple of links below for slides that I've used and recommend.
      Accuride makes a high quality slide. They are a bit more expensive but are less greasy and work very well.
      amzn.to/2y8D3Di
      The Pro Series slides are much more economical and still work very well. I find they do have a bit more grease on them so I usually wear a glove when handling them like I did in this video. That avoids getting grease on the finished project. I've used these slides on a lot of different projects from pull outs to kitchen drawers.

      Same. I've used 100lb and seen others do the same. It seems to be a good rule of thumb.

      The links are backwards but I get the point. I have them both in my Amazon's wish list. Thanks for bother in looking the links for me. That's very kind, have a great winter!!

    I really don't understand people giving this a thumb's down. Most people click on the video, because they have an interest in learning how to build shelves. If this is you, and you gave it a thumbs down, do you know how much free information you just got? If you got this info in a college course you paid for, you would be thrilled. You just got that for free from the comfort of watching it on your screen wherever you are in only a few minutes. Whether you agree with everything he did or not, the amount of information that can be absorbed is pretty amazing. Think about that.

    • @DPShopTalk
      @DPShopTalk  6 років тому +32

      Thanks for your comment Robert, I appreciate it. I've never really understood the thumbs down either. Even if I don't really like a video all that much I'll just move on and not give it a thumbs up. Like you said it's free information that someone has taken their own time and resources to create. In my opinion, unless a video is very offensive, a thumbs down is just rude.

      OMG Robert! I 100% agree about the wonderful free information that Dan is giving. My husband and I know absolutely nothing about carpentry but are trying to learn if we can find a very simple but effective way to retrofit my very small, (appx 5’x13 in double door pantry), with shelves into our 1925 bungalow. I just came home from having a double mastectomy and cannot lift heavy objects anymore. Dan’s is gifted and I truly appreciate his videos. Dan you get 2 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 from us. Stay 😷

    I reckon this is the most comprehensive tutorial I've seen on making and retrofitting kitchen drawers. I'm saving this one for future reference.
    Brilliant idea, on how not to get confused in the final figure, by deducting the 32nd afterwards. However, had to lol - unnecessary and far simpler in metric.

    I use solid wood on each rail piece and rabbit a 1/4” slot for a floating 1/4” plywood bottom the latest job I did was 14 pullouts all maple with 2 coats of sprayed clear finish. This makes for extremely strong shelves which will never be susceptible to kitchen moisture. I like to use KV slides. As for the set up for install you are spot on.

    Excellent, clear and well organized video, thanks. I will be adapting the instructions to install shelving for a set of five stereo components (amp, turntable, tuner, cassette player, and cd player) into an existing closed-in cabinet space. My main problem is how to manage the various cords and cables required for the various units. Possibly there is other useful information online that will help me with this. Otherwise you might consider creating a how-to video for something like that.

      +Mark Burgess no these cabinets were existing cabinets that I retrofitted with the pull outs so I didn't build the cabinets. I would like to do a cabinet making episode at some point when I get the time. Thanks for the kind words and feedback!

    I'm wondering why you didn't use undermount sliders for the bottom slider?

      You certainly could but it is easier to use all the same slides and build everything the same when time is money.

      I don't have a business I just want to do sliders om the kitchen cabinets. We just bought this house and the wife and I both agreed that we hated the NON pull out shelves, and have to get on our knees to get anything that is in the back.
      I was really wanting to build this type of box and screw it to undercabinet mounts. I have a width of 37' x 23 1/8' area.

      If undermount slides would be easier for your application then I would say go with that. I thought you were asking why I didn't use undermount.

    great, the idea for spacing inside the carcass was useful :))
