I just spent the better part of 3 days looking on Youtube for how to build and install my first drawers using drawer slides. A frustrating endeavor to say the least because no one wanted to just explain and show the easiest method. They all want to over complicate it for a beginner by installing fancy contraptions with tricky and expensive slides. Then I came across this video, and after watching it a few times, learned how to size and build the drawer, learned how to choose the slide length I needed, and then to top it off, learned how add drawer fronts to everything. Just came back from Lowe's Hardware with the Euro style slides for the drawers, picked up the plywood, and getting ready to build them for my cabinet under my saw.

The same thing happened when I built the Flip Top tool cart you built in another video. I built it exactly like you said, and it came out perfectly.

Thank You!

Thank you for your clear cut directions. I am betting watching and re-creating rather than reading so thank you! I appreciate and love supporting other women in woodworking. Alos, thank you for using more intr tools like Ryobi and that these tools are great for what you do. I don't want to break the bank for my hobby and these tools work great for me as well.

I like this. I also like the way you have the grain on the drawer fronts all matching. 👍👍

I love that you talked about how to measure for the drawers. Many videos I've watched on drawer building provides no help in that area so it ends up being guess work to figure out how to measure correctly

5/6/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: I am 71 years old, and now experiencing admiration and respect. Your efforts here are a genuine model to all. Your high quality belongs in schools. In my eyes, you are a national treasure. There is not one aspect of your concept, execution, video editing, enunciation, the overall presentation that interferes with the transfer of knowledge. Your prowess at woodworking speaks for itself. Your clarity and appropriate precision is ... well, as a member of the male machine I can say you present the finest threat to the citadel of manly woodworkers I have ever seen.

I modeled my miter station after yours due to it's simplicity and functionality, now on to the drawers. I positioned my drill press on the opposite end and will have space for the shop vacuum underneath the miter saw, and a pancake air compressor, ( which allows me space to make a drawer for Kreg stuff), and soon to be a mobile base for a router table. Thank you for your help, Phil

Marie, You are an inspiration! I admire the way you provide no-nonesense commontary with all your builds. I am building another mobile workbench in my shed. I sat down and saw your video pop up. I am already subscribed to your channel. looking forward to many more common sense builds. from Ontario, Merci!

Love your explanations of build, thank you for making it clear!

[MrWoodykeys]

Best guide and idea I have seen, appreciate your time and I’ll be checking out more of your videos later. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great job Marie! I started wood working to build something custom for my kids I couldn’t find in stores. Amazing how quick it turns into a hobby of building more stuff for your shop. Lol! Just moved to Florida, so once I get setup I can finally work all year in the garage! Keep them coming!

I like this style for shop drawers. Good cadence to easily follow along.

[TrevorHeathPhotography]

Nice work. Your video production is great too - it will no doubt help many others who wish to build a set of drawers similar. When people can see things in detail as you've shown here they are more likely to give things a go themselves. Well done! 👍

[joeantolak]

I like how you matched grain on your drawer faces

[juliusdro]

thanks much I have a project helping my daughter with drawers in an unfinished your video will be a GREAT help

[omartodologo]

I am a real fan of what you create. Congratulations!

This video came at the perfect time..I’m building a cabinet and I just got to the drawer part of the build. Thanks!

I love the look of these drawers. I have also used Euro slides in my shop. Their cost is significantly less than the ball bearing variety. I did overload one drawer and caused a bend, but I was able to repair the slide and then remove some of the weight and the problem was solved. I had tried to store large containers of Craig screws and large containers of concealed hinges. Thanks for the video.

[mickeymarimuthu]

Thank for sharing. Very helpful for the DIYers.
