Kitchen Remodel: Part 5 – Drawers

I made the cabinet drawers from half inch birch plywood. I made the side pieces from some of the scraps leftover from the cabinets and two new sheets of plywood. I have three different heights of drawers wrapping around the kitchen. A deep drawer on the bottom, and medium drawer in the middle and a shallow drawer on the top. The joint at the corners and holding the bottom in place is a dado and rabbet fit together. The bottoms are also made from half inch plywood. I made a jig to hold the slides in place for instillation.

  1. I am new to finish carpentry, so excuse my lack of knowledge in this but, the thing I am lacking confidence in is building my cabinet frame, then not being able to fit it into my drawer slides. Is there a certain technique to measure the width of the drawers so you can always get them cut and built accurately to the spread on the slides?
    Feedback is immensely appreciated!!!

  2. I remember watching this entire series about a year ago, and as you see, I came back to it. I really wish you had a show man, because I'd tune in every week! You're amazing, and I cant wait to do my own kitchen. Im currently shopping for what I want now, which is similar to your style. I have a mid-century modern/japanese/scandinavian fusion idea for my entire house. It may sound odd, but it looks great in my head! haha
