People like you are the professors of KZfaq University. Thanks for making my life easier - New DIYer

Ya know 58 years later.....you can always learn something!! Thanks!!!

U made this video a few years, but it’s still applicable. Love it when handles align perfectly, ta muchly 😊

WOOOOWHOOOO!!!… Finally, a clear, cut and dry method that not only works like a charm. But works with drawers of different sizes!!!! I can’t tell you how long I’ve been putting this off; as I’ve not been able to find a single video on this…that I could understand anyway. Thank you from the depths of my soul!!… As you’ve given me the knowledge to FINALLY see my project through, after being at a complete standstill for MONTHS!!! This is going to be a total game changer for future pieces too! Thanks again…I’m 100% subscribing to this channel. Edit: It didn’t work. 😭 I’m off by about a 1/4 of an inch every time. The drawer faces are both concave and convex…I’m wondering if that’s why I’m having such a tough time?

Huge help to make an annoying process easy! Thanks!

Wow. That's a handy tip! Definitely saving this for the book.

wow - i know i should probably have known this (school days geometry) BUT this was really well described and can see it works for any size (symmetrical) handles and any size drawer fronts. Brilliant just saved me some hassle with some IKEA drawers (they dont pre-drill holes)

Brilliant! I knew how to find the center of a board but it never occurred to me to use this procedure to install drawer pull! Thank you.

Wow what a clever idea💡thanks for sharing. It is all about geometric, that's why I love carpentry. I love your videos, straight to the point and very clear -- such a gem!

Genius! I need new screw holes this is perfect

Wow!! This tip is amazing! I've been putting off finishing my project for fear my pulls would be wonky, but not after seeing this. Thank you so much!

Extremely solid and beneficial method. I was able to utilize this method to finish the hardware installation in our home kitchen remodel. No jig required. Thank you.

This is the best and easiest video I’ve seen!!! THANK YOU!!! I was about to take a nap but now I must install my drawer pulls 😂💃🏾

Excellent method, tape is cheap... Thank you sir.

Worked great!!!! My pulls were not symmetrical, so this was super helpful as a starting point. Thanks.

Awesome video - stumbled upon it after struggling with plastic templates that just wouldn't line up. Now I can move forward - thank you!!!

Oh my goodness, you just made this look so perfect and much easier than any other video I've seen. Thank you 😊

This was a great tutorial - I just used it to put handles on a dresser and it turned out great. Thank you!

I took the measurement of the inside of the pull to the outside of the pull and measured and marked using a metal ruler. Thanks again!!

AMAZING Goodness I divorced my template once I SAW THIS VIDEO !!!!! I installed new cabinets in my salon and I wanted to install handles since they didn't come with any. Needless to say that didn't go as planned using the template they where so uncen😢tered but after watching your video they look awesome . Thank you so much for the simplicity of what some made look hard and that a template😒was needed. You made it easier and you explained it all so well and I really appreciated the bottom drawer tip. Thanks a bunch 😍😎

THIS IS GENIUS!!!! Literally in awe. Just tried and it totally worked! Amazed and grateful!

Absolutely helpful! Thank you! Makes perfect sense and no tape measure required!

Ingenious. I did this procedure and the result was perfect.

Great tips. I'm going to put on my cabinet pulls using this method right now! I'm literally in the kitchen. Thank you!

Omg thank you so much for this!!! I've been struggling with this for so long....no matter what I did the handles never looked straight. Tried your tip and it worked.....my handles are straight 🥳🥳

Great tutorial! Thanks for being straight forward, authentic, and clear.

Thank you so much for this video. Extremely helpful.

WOW after you give that shortcut tip WOW

Thank you, that was super helpful! I'm restoring a dresser and this was just what I needed.

Definitely helpful for a kitchen project we're on, thanks much!!!!

In less than 5 minutes you explained to this idiot (me) exactly how to accomplish a task I've been aching over for a few weeks. Thank you so much for your help.

Terrific!! You have a solid, clear way of showing and explaining. Thank you!

You JUST made my day! Thank you so much!

Dude you rocked it. I am a professional Handyman and this trick is a keeper. Thanks.

Thank you, am installing my draw handles today!

This is so helpful! Thank you so much!

It was like watching a magic trick..... so helpful and cool!!!

Thank you, you have brought peace to our home.

Excellent video. I’ve never seen that technique before. 👍🏼

🤯 I’m definitely trying this !

Well done bud, excellent tip!!

Thanks!!!!!!! This is great!

Genius!! Thank you!

You are amazing! Thank you!

Exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you 🙏

Amazing! You should teach geometry!

Thank you so much!

Dude, soo cool trick!! Thank you!!!

Super helpful!

Thank you 1000x. My job is done.thanks

BRILLIANT!!!

Great tip !

This is great 👍

thank you

nice!! Thanks!

This worked beautifully! Thank you. Now do you have any tips for installing knobs on new cabinets?

Great! 👋🏻🤩 Thanks.

Brilliant!

So logically simple. No ruler required, no counting and dividing - just draw with a straight edge and mark. Great! Thank You!!! Unfortunately for the handles I'm now installing this technique doesn't entirely work.

Never saw handles measured like this!

Others show how this is done, you explain how it works. THANKS

Your explanation at 4:30 was awesome. I'm typically a construction troll, but this was a pretty solid video. Thanks for posting. ;)

I’m so glad I found you by a happy accident! There’s so many vids you have that I need!👍👍👍

LEGEND

My hero

They are brad point bits. and it will cut through cleanly without tearing finish

Amazing Tip 😊 how about installing handles on kitchen cabinets, thanks

This is SO helpful. Thank you! I have one question: Is it easier to drill the pilot holes with the drawer face on the dresser or detached from the dresser?

Jeez! I wish my custom cab guy was as good as you! I have frameless slab drawers and doors. Unfortunately he couldn’t get the fronts to fully cover the boxes!😬

Tried adding 1 handle on on a slim spoon drawer like the last one you showed at the end, but the cross lines come out exactly the size of the handle 6 3/4 . Trying to figure where I went wrong? Maybe when I decided to put 1 handle on a 34in wide drawer

Omg this is great but how would I install vertical handles for kitchen cabinets?

Thank you! I was getting so frustrated.

This is great! I don't know what I'm doing wrong but for four straight drawers my holes need to go just to the outside of the center of the x to line up with the pull. But it's still working. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

🥳🥳 1000th Like! 🥳🥳

Hi, this looks really helpful, but I have long handles that are around 17 inches long, would this method work for those as well?

The best and easiest way u can measure its to measure the lenght and the high of the drawer divided by two and the distance between the two handles holes then u must substract the lenght minus the distance between the handle holes divided by two and thats it if that makes sense

This is great, but would it work for a IKEA handle? What would I need to adapt? KALLRÖR Handle, stainless steel, 8 3/8" - IKEA

Would this same method work on drawers that don’t have sharp corners/edges, but a slight rounded edge to it? Like, could I still get those marks using my drawer pulls like you did in the beginning of the video?

Hello, any tips for me to install handle pulls to a wooden serving tray? Don't want to drill thru the edge where pull will be.

SUGGESTION: I would really like to have a video on where to place handles. (On slab full overlay doors and drawers in my case) Plus I have 2 doors that are glass with apx frame around each door. That may change the whole placement of the other door handles…? The 2 vids says nothing thing about the height from bottom edge of door. They do talk about the placement on the vertical to each handle but none talk about the height from the edge on doors or drawers. They talk about putting the 2nd and 3 rd drawers a little higher….some say .25” & .50” others say 1/8” to 1/4” respectively but nothing else on the door handles height. Again, they do talk about putting the door handles from 1.25” to 1.5” off edge so they’re closer together but nothing on the height when placing on a slab door, just shaker style placement.

🤯

Can you reuse the tape?

My drawers have tapered edges where do i start

not working!!! I must be dumb cuz I've tried measuring this way at least 5 times and its never lined up
