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.

  • Man the drawer slide jig is super brilliant. You are a genius, you made my life easy and I will definitely going to use your jig in my shop

  • Howard i will sure like to build a corner cabinet can you hep me out as far as the materials i may need thanks

  • 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!!!

  • 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

  • Go to woodprix website if you'd like to know how to make it easy. Good solution for every woodworker.

  • How about a router jig for dovetail joints on the drawers? That's how i learned to do drawers.

  • i don’t understand why you went for space over strength in the drawers. it’s been a while now, is it still in one piece?
