Diy Drawer Inside A Drawer

They re fussy to install.

Diy drawer inside a drawer.

Using a tape measure and a pencil make two marks 4 inches from the ends of the board and centered on its width. Smaller than you need. They drove me crazy when they were a jumbled mess. It s easy to shim behind a slide with layers of masking tape to make up for a too small drawer.

This step is very easy you just measure the drawer width and depth which should match your earlier measurements then cut a 1 4 plywood panel to size. Once the cabinet is in place remove the big drawer take off the front cut the draw down to the depth you want it install the other drawers above it as close as you d like put the face back on the bottom drawer and you re good to go. If your drawer is a hair too big or small these slides won t glide. The last step to complete the diy drawer box is to add the bottom.

Build the drawer box using wood glue and 1 pocket hole screws keeping all the sides square. I am so thrilled with how much better my kitchen drawers look. Make drawer boxes about 1 32 in. Drill the drawer face holes.

If you are handy and willing to diy order one drawer the depth you want with a face then order extra shallower drawers with out face panels. Using a drill driver create two pilot holes. Place the 1 6 drawer face on the work surface with the pocket holes facing down. Put a bead of glue around the bottom edge of the drawer box don t need a ton just a small bead.

It s a lot harder to deal with a drawer that s too wide. Attach the drawer slides to the drawer box and the cabinet frame. This is the drawer box base. Use a corner assembly square for this or a corner clamp.
