Hi Jay,I just wanted to add a note of thanks for this video. I have no real woodworking experience, but did have a broken drawer in my kitchen. It is made of pressboard with a solid wood front, similar to your example. I tried to repair it by re-gluing, and adding some screws to hold it all together, but it just fell apart again after a short while. So after watching several of yours and Steve Ramsey's videos I figured "I got this; these guys make this look easy". I went out and bought me a portable Dewalt table saw (because I literally have no room for a shop), pocket hole jig and the appropriate wood and successfully made myself a solid drawer, just like yours. This was the first time I used a table saw for anything, and I still have all my fingers. Thanks to your easy to follow instructions I am now a woodworker. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do, it has a made a positive impact in my life!
Jay when I was a kid the last thing I wanted to do was to spend time with my dad in his work shop. He's gone now I'm 58, I made my first drawer thanks to you. I just wish I had the time with him now. I have just gotten back into woodworking your videos are great. Thanks again.
I've watched several day's worth of videos on how to do woodwork and electrical for the exact same reason. My dad really was a master at both and I didn't take the opportunity like I should have to learn it from him.
Don't knock it. I once built a full size, fully functioning, 100% accurate copy of a Tiger tank from pieces of scrap metal I had lying around in my bedroom cupboard. I tested it against 6 original real Sherman tanks with the 88mm gun I had constructed of old drainage pipe and knocked all of them out. So there!
augnkn93043 Hey, that’s pretty cool. I once built a large doghouse using Titebond and some sawdust I happened to have laying around the shop. Didn’t even need pocket screws!
Cool l once build a ship 🚢 with air and glue man it’s that cool😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let tell you WHY I like your videos. You speak clearly and don't mumble. You explain things very well and are easily understood. Your close up pictures are good because you don't hold the camera in your hand like so many other do. You do not have annoying music blaring. You do NOT attempt at lame humor like so many others.
Thank you for making your videos. I have been working with wood and designing various tools for over 40 years but can always learn new things.
claybear000: Dito! Nice of you for noticing all those positive things, and even better of you for expressing it, especially for admitting to learning new things. I love that because anyone can learn from anyone.
Even people that are not in our trade can teach us something. Cheers my fellow woodworkers !
claybear000 you said it bro, anyone can lear just by watching Jay's videos. Kudos bro!!
AMEN! Hey I was just like you, no dovetails=no good. This will be very helpful as I am venturing out into the cabinet world now. Thank you
Ditto. I enjoy them.
I was thinking the exact same thing in the first 5 seconds of watching this, after coming from a video very similar to what you described. It's refreshing to get clear, concise instructions with great visuals to back them up. I can build stuff with this information!
I built some cabinets earlier this year for a rental. I borrowed a friend's brand new K-5 which came with instructions on building a 15" cabinet. I changed the dims for a 24" cab but I used this design for the drawers. Since then I bought my own K-5 but no instructions for the same cabinet were included. :( I had originally made copies of the parts cut list (for various size cabinets) and using your helpful sketch up videos to learn that program I was able to recreate the cabinet in sketch up. I came back to this video to refresh my memory on how to make the drawers. I like this design a lot. Thanks Jay for your no-nonsense teaching style. - Wayne P.S. I guess it's not totally no-nonsense... I did enjoy the clone Jay swatting the fly :D
I have a one man cabinet shop. I learned years ago that dado's for bottoms are pain in the a**. I swapped to 1/2" inset bottoms with pocket hole screws. easy, fast and strong as heck. I just built and installed 10 pre-finished, Birch ply ,undermount drawers in 3 hours. Hard to beat 18 mins per drawer and they look great! I do love dovetailed solid Maple drawers but the with the volume I do I buy them from a drawer box builder. Nice work jay, I enjoy your videos. Cheers!
THANKS JAY, I'M A LONG TIME WOOD WORKER BUT I BUILD ELECTRIC GUITARS, I'VE NEVER BUILT SHELVES OR DRAWERS BUT I'M ADDING A MODULAR BOX WITH DAWERS UNDER MY PIN ROUTER FOR TEMPLATE STORAGE THAT WILL FREE UP SOME MUCH NEEDED SPACE IN MY SHOP. THIS VIDEO REALLY HELPED AND I FEEL CONFIDANT NOW THAT I WON'T SCREW THESE UP TO BAD.
I agree with July foster's comment below, i am a novice to woodwork and i tell you I have been afraid of getting into making drawers because I thought I was not going to make it right and after watching your video I went and made the 4 I needed to make in a heartbeat. I appreciate your simple explanation and easy to follow instructions. sorry and straight to the point, thanks
Thank you. Watching your method solved a drawer problem for me.
I saved your video, I made a drawer about two years ago following your video, but I forgot how to make it again. Thank god I was able to find your video. I was making a mistake, and after watching your video again I found what I was doing wrong. I agree you speak clear and take your time with your example. Thank you very much
Wonderful video. Clear and concise. Now off to the workshop. Thanks.
I've adopted this method of drawer building except for my very large bottom drawers in my shop that hold circ, recip, and jig saws, 4.5" grinder, 1 3/4hp router, heat gun. I went with glued & screwed tongue & groove for added strength for my heaviest load carrying drawer as I felt more comfortable with the front locked in place.
Thank you. I used brad nails at first and now will try the pocket method.
This is the method I am going to use, although I will probably adjust the number of pocket hole screws. Thank you Jay. I also agree with claybear. Presentation is everything. Speaking clearly and providing adequate visuals regarding your task is critical. I don't know how many people make videos talking in front of a camera and show us nothing else, which is a complete waste of my time. Good job Jay, good video. I will be back for more.
I used your instructions to make my kitchen cabinet drawers last year and they are solid as rocks. Getting ready to make more so back for a refresher. Thanks Jay!
Thanks for this video tutorial! I've been looking all over the web to find an easy and effective way of making drawers for my workbench and this is it... Plus I LOVE pocket hole joinery. Keep up the good work!
Having this issue right now in house I've purchased, built in 1961. Perfect timing. THANK YOU so much for this video.
Thanks Jay! I made 13 dovetail drawers for my kitchen and they turned out awesome (with a handful of mistakes and a lot of time).
I used this method for drawers in my shop. Solid, and I made 5 in the time it takes me to dovetail. Awesome!
This has been an inspiration. While video from others have left me unsatisfied, this has hit all the points.
I esp appreciate your recognition that dovetails are unnecessary. I have used locking rabbet joints, which I consider equivalent to a dovetail, but it's 3 cuts and having to break out the dado set and then testing. So I end up avoiding such projects. Your "hidden" treatment of the pocket holes is OUTSTANDING and more than strong enough for the job. (4 screws each side? That ain't going anywhere!)
Yet another use for the Kreg jig I bought!
No ego , no rambling on, just simple a demonstration of making a sturdy draw that the viewer can follow. Good work sir.
Thanks Jay for the vid. I have been making a work bench, and I made your draws with 19mm x 140mm dressed pine and 7mm ply base ( I also used Weldbond Glue on the pine and clamped while I screwed). They were so easy and they are so solid and square. I put them on 25mm angle iron for the runners. It has made my life easy. I can't thank you enough or sing your praises ;) You are brilliant mate, you even help people in North Queensland.
Here's my method of choice for making strong and quick drawers. I've never had a failure with this construction method.
Great video. I have had to do this a few times, you gave me some new info and ideas in case I have to do this again. Thanks!
Jay Bates That's how I do it for the most part. However, you taught me several things that I haven't done that I will start doing. As always, your videos are excellent and very informative. Thank you!
I bet nascar would love to have you in a pit crew. Man, that was fast pocket screwing.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
Great Job Jay!
I realy like your idea of an easily replaceable bottom. Depending on the design and use, that could be a very useful feature. Also your comments about MDF and hardboard for drawers is a very good point. Wish more modern manufacturers would be honest about that.
It was nice to hear you speak on dovetails. It is very true that there are many types of joinery that will work for drawers. The choice should be made based upon the specific job (time, materials, & tools availabe, skill of the worker, intention of final piece, etc.). Dovetails are excellent jonits for drawers, especially the face. Howerver, butt, rabit, daedo, and even box joints can all be used with equal success or failure. Each has definite pros and cons that should be considered before use. For myself, I lean towards rabits and daedos mainly because of my tools and skill level.
Thank you again, Jay. You constantly give your viewers excellent tips for getting jobs done correctly. Much appreciated!!
Awesome! I'm about to build a set of rear SUV draws and modify my bathroom vanity. Glad I watched that and now have a clue how to do it properly. Thanks Jay
Thank you. Getting ready to build drawers for my chop saw station and this method is NOW where I'm heading.
Hide the pocket holes under the false front... Mind blown! Great technique. Thanks for another clear concise video. I learn something every time I watch.
Very nice. Strong and straightforward.
I absolutely love this project. I think that it is not only practical but fun to fix problems for the viewers that we run into in our real lives I truly enjoy your more complicated projects but everyday issues that the average homeowner might run into are much more practical and relatable please try to do more of these projects in the future. I say this of course with all due respect I don't know if you truly are taking requests from your followers or fans which do you prefer
Mr. Bates, I recently got into woodworking and I love it. I enjoy your videos and the way you explain things. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I am setting up a woodshop in my garage like you work in. I made myself a storage/small work bench and I needed to make drawers for it. I watched this video at least 10 times. I see you made it 3+ years ago but it is still helping people. Thanks man, keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing Jay. Kitchen drawers are hardly bespoke furniture and I agree with KISS. I've been in very expensive homes that have particle board cabinets with nice facade fronts. Maybe it isn't the way we'd build them from scratch, but they look nice and are less expensive. Let the snobs spend 10x the time cutting their dovetails.
I'm going to use your method to fix a few of our kitchen drawers. Got tired of re-gluing and re-nailing. Thanks for the helpful tip.
Good job with the video. I'm fairly new to woodworking, and I like learning new things. At a recent woodworker show I spoke with a Kreg rep and he recommended using the Kreg micro drill guide with SPS-F075 (3/4 inch) screws, both of which are made for use with 1/2 inch material. I made 8 drawers for my wife's sewing cabinet and they turned out great. Very, very, strong. I did take things one step further, however. I used Russian birch 1/2 inch plywood, and went so far as to use it for the bottoms also. The bottoms were attached using pocket holes as well, giving me a perfectly flush bottom. Since the pocket holes are all on the bottom, no one will normally see them. I've had more experienced woodworkers tell me that expansion will be a problem, but I wanted to see for myself. I'm thinking the birch plywood, 7 ply plus the two veneers, will be stable enough. I shall see.
Thank You! Finally a clear DIY drawer video for the average Joe, that doesn't require a shop full of expensive tools we'll never use again.....Well Done!
Thanks for the video, I studied furniture making in Amsterdam and they only taught us fine woodworking like dovetails and stuff like that. Now I’m building wooden camper vans and need to deal a lot with lightweight options and things like cabinets that can survive different temperatures and moist levels. Need to work a lot with plywood now. So thank you. Btw, the original reason why drawer bottoms are fitted loose within the construction is because of wood movement, especially when using solid wood.
You're right. I've been through two days of checking how to build a dresser drawer, but my main concern was the drawers. Your method was very easy to follow and the explanation of all materials especially the old drawer (why it failed) was extremely helpful to point out. This will also help later on when I check other furniture(s) if I should happen to buy any.
Good job!
Thanks again,
DMCJR.
Just used your method to make some drawers in my drill press table. Worked great! They feel very solid. I'm not worried at all that they won't stand the test of time. Thanks for the great instructions!
I’m building my first drawer this weekend, partly because I want a drawer in the small cabinet I’ve built but also for practice for more ambitious projects. I had a much different plan but that’s scrapped now. I’m building it your way…. Thanks!
I was looking for a video about drawers, watched a couple that were ok, but not what I wanted. Then I added Jay Bates in the search field, found this one and became fulfilled. Quality as always. Thanks!
Was sent to this video from April's latest upload about building her pantry organiser. Your videos and production work have come a long way! Keep up the great work!
Never Stop Never Stopping!
I just wanted to say thanks for your videos, they have helped me a lot in my projects, I'm needing a drawer under my miter saw and I watched your video just to double check if I was going in the right direction.
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep up the great work!
Thanks for showing this.
This is the best drawer construction instruction I've seen! Well explained!
As always, insightful and helpful for those of us looking to build something practical and useful. Even though it may only initially be for our workshop or garage. Thanks Jay, keep up the good work!
I like the way you talk up to the point proper explanation no expensive equipment as most of us UA-cam audience are broke! Thanks
Simple and easy and looks like it would be very strong drawer assembly,came at the perfect time for me. I am now building a set of drawers for my new shops work bench wall unit and like you i hate cabinets thanks
Jay, I really appreciate your common sense, low cost tips, techniques and projects. Thanks for a great channel!
This worked great for me... thanks Jay.
Great video, it's helped me a whole lot. I'll be making drawers in a few days as soon as I complete the cabinet I am building. I've been looking all over the internet for ideas on how to build a good strong solid drawer with 1/2 inch plywood. You have the best way, and I'm going to use the exact way. You made my life a whole lot easier, this is my first time making drawers. God Bless.
Wow, channel blew up. Stopped wood for a few years. First time back. Good for you
Just saw this video of MDF being repaired with plywood. I have the same type of MDF drawers that are slowly falling apart and you showed a quick easy way to replace them. Thanks for this simple way.
Jay I’ve watched this video a dozen times as a refresher on how to make drawers. It’s is great. Good work.
As you know, my biggest fear was drawer making. You made it easier for me. Thanks Jay. You and Diytyler are my first woodworking videos. Appreciate you very much.
Thanks for being someone that doesn't feel compelled to woodworking seem complicated. Always a straight-forward approach. :)
Quality =/= dovetail
Thanks so much for speaking truth to power here.
Love this method. I was under that same impression about dovetails. This looks like an incredibly durable drawer and it's a pretty simple construction. Definitely going to employ this when I find myself with a need to build drawers.
Nice
First time to build drawers for my husbands garage and I will be using this guide. Thank you!
I'm glad you shared your reasons of construction as I was scratching my head when I was watching your Sketchup video on cabinet making. Thanks
I just use your method to replace all my drawers in the kitchen, it was a very easy fun project, thanks a lot bro
That's great to hear! Thanks!
I love how CLEARLY you explain things. You do not mumble!!!
Thank you.
Youre so calm and clear, thank you so much! i made my very first drawer for my DIY bathroom vanity and this was SUPER helpful
This is actually one of my favorite videos of yours. VERY practical, VERY simple. Job well done!! :)
Thanks sooo much, Jay! Awesome video and I need to build a bunch of drawers which I was intimidated about until I watched your clear, concise tutorial. Much appreciation from Buffalo, New York
Great video. You have a great way of explaining things.
Thank you April. I appreciate the feedback.
Jay and April are two of my very favorite woodworking video-makers! cool to see them supporting each other as well!
Never seen or noticed cutting the back piece lower and attaching the bottom to it after you slide the bottom in. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the idea.
Very good video....concise and simple. The DIY contingent are unlikely to own a kreg jig so a couple of pointers on standard screws or better yet wood dowels would help a wider audience. Keep up the good work, it's always appreciated to hear from another craftsman.
I'm about to build my very first small dresser and I'm sure glad I found this tutorial, it's going to make it so much easier than I thought it would be!
Love the way you make everything, so simple to do. You're the man Jay, keep up the good work my friend
This video has everything I needed to know regarding a project I am about to embark upon. Thanks for this info it is definitely going to help me out.
Excellent video! I’m still in the starting out/hack phase of woodworking and I had never made a drawer before. It was easy to do and it turned out almost perfect!
Thanks Jay for the video 👍 I learned a lot from you.ty and good bless.
I like this super simple way of making drawers using pocket holes. Well done!!!!!
Great job. Thanks for the video. I already have a pocket hole jig and will try your method instead of "trying" to use dovetails which I have never done before... cleanly. I have a kitchen drawer that fell apart just like the one you showed.
Okay, that was just great, it really was. I need to make a bunch of drawers and I want to make them from 1/2 inch plywood with false fronts. So I googled just that and your video came up. Your use of pocket screws completely solved my design issues - hadn’t thought of that! (Bonehead, I know) Thank you!!
Hi Jay, i recently used this method of draw construction, so easily achieved for my first attempt, turned out great and they look solid, i used 15mm ply for all parts of the construction, large format draws 800mm x 600mm.
Eric Kok what pocket hole jig did you use? My trend states a minimum material thickness of 16mm, I would like to use 12mm but worried it won’t work or fail
Oldie but a goodie!
I read Claybear000's post and I agree with the assessment. You have stated in the past that professional cabinet makers may do the work differently from you but that does not matter much to me. I am so happy with learning from you and the fact that you sometimes use fast motion to keep things interesting is a plus. In the near future I will be purchasing some of your plans. My workspace does not exist yet so first things first.
Pocket hole plans was what brought me to your doorsteps (site).
Great video as always, Jay. I whole heartedly agree, dovetails are not the be-all, end all. You only see them when the drawer is opened, anyway. I think they're more of a status symbol. I inherited my Dad's workbench, many years ago. He was a master carpenter. I figure, the bench is about 90 years old. the drawers are built similar to your's, except he used common nails and they still funtion, flawlessly and I use the bench constantly.
Great vid.... I just re built a couple of kitchen drawers, only different I did, was I used 3/4" rather than 1/2"..
Awesome Jay. I'll use this method in my shop build.
Donald Fugitt Cool. Glad you found it useful.
Really good video. 77 years old and I'm still learning
Awesome. Plain and simple video gets straight to the point!
I don't think I could have found a better video for what I wanted. Thank you.
Thanks Jay for the great video.
About fifty years ago a friend and I worked our way through college building cabinets. He has continued in the business to this day. We/he built hundreds, maybe thousands of drawers similar to yours, but without pocket holes, just 1/4" crown staples driven in from the sides. I recently checked with him and he has never had a call back. The pocket holes would be stronger. Your drawer will last forever. Glue the plywood bottom in and it last even longer.
Very nice! I'm going to give that a try. I especially like the slide in bottom trick
Great way of doing drawer. I'm normally using a dado & rabbet joint, but it's a lot of work. I will use your technique for my next set of drawers. That should speed up the work. Thank you again
That's a lot of screws! I think you can easly go with 4 instead of 8 in the front and the back, but i agree. Screws are just as good as traditional joinery, less work and less clamps aswell.
Thanks for the you tube video...I will try to make drawers like this ....
great video thanks Jay
Very good instructional video! Keep the videos coming.
I made the drawers for my workbench very much like that with pocket screws. They are still going strong with a load of tools etc. in them.
Thanks Jay good video.
Roland
Really like your videos Jay! I like the way you explain why you are using the methods you choose and how to do them. Entertaining but direct. Nice!
This looks great. Since I only have a hand saw I'll just screw the bottom on instead of making a groove, but I wasn'nt sure how to attach the sides to the front and back to make the strongest connection.
jay, Was just randomly clicking recommendations and caught this old video. It's crazy to hear your accent back then vs now. neat Idea for drawers.
This was AWESOME! I totally understood what you were doing. Can't wait to try it an old dresser that I have. My husband will be shocked LOL!
Subscribed - I've watched dozens of "simple" drawer making videos and none of them are, till now, so thankyou.
Very Good and Precise instructions. Just what I was looking for. I like also how you explained why the old drawer failed. Thanks.
Wow, this is really good and not really that difficult. I just bought a Kreg jig a few months ago and I can't believe how strong those pocket holes joints are.
I have to replace two old kitchen cabinet drawers and I'm thinking of building something like this and just attaching the front piece.
I am going to have a much better day now that I have watched your video. Thank you! This is one of the simplest (and sturdy) drawer builds I have seen.
Thanks!
hi Jay.
i am recently using dovetiled 5/8 ts but if i do drawers myself we actually do 1/2 plywood drawers just nailed with 21ga. senco from side, those are super fast and super good also and i never had a come back for 5 maybe 6 years already, before we were doing 3/4 drawers same as you just did but trust me 2 screws would be all u need on each corner,
great job man!!
The stresses on a drawer are the bottom pressing into the grooves on the front, and sides all the time and then cantilever forces on the sides when the drawer is opened. Unless you start pushing sideways on the drawer front when the drawers is open there is very little stress ever placed on the side to front joint. I don't really like the pocket hole approach myself but it certainly will do the job. That is 20 screws to hole the drawer box together. A lot of metal.
