Glad it helped! It may not be the way the instructions say, but it is quick and easy. Most importantly it works.

Just take your time and use spacers blocks, and you should be fine. The mounting holes are slotted, some vertical, and some horizontal. If you need to make a small adjustment, you may need to move a screw to the right hole where you can slide it to make any fine adjustment you need. For a kitchen, you will be adding drawer fronts. If the drawers are off a little, it will be covered by the drawer fronts.

I am glad it helped.

I am glad you like it.

I hoped it helped.

I always struggled with spacing drawers and getting the slides straight. Now that I figured this out, I put drawers in everything.

You are very welcome

That is what these drawers are for. They are all full of nuts bolts and screws. I still have to go buy screw on every project. It seems I never can find the one I need.

I am sorry I haven't made it yet. I have put in for several vactions at my full-time job over the next few months. I plan to get several projects including the pocket hole machine done.

Glad it helped

That is the thing. Everyone has different needs. The best bench is the one customized to fit you needs.

That is what I try to do. More than anything I try to show the simplest way to get the job done. It is the 80/20 rule in reverse. 20% effort for 80% results is good enough most times.

If you have issues, email me, and I will see if I can help.

@@ShopRamblings thank you starting stage two. putting the slide in cabinet.

It depends on if you are just installing a drawer or if they are going to be above a cabinet. For normal construction, I use 1/2" overlay concealment hinges unless I am trying to match something already built. That means the cabinet door overlays on the hinge side 1/2". Just to keep it simple, I do 1/2" on every side. I always build the cabinet first. Then, I measure the opening and add 1" to both the length and width. Keeping it simple, I do the drawer faces the say way. So if the drawer opening is 14" x 5", I would cut my drawer face 15" x 6". I a situation where there is not a rail between the draws measure from the top of one drawer to the top of the next drawer. Then, subtract the gap you want in between the drawers. If from top to top is 6" and you want a 1/4" gap, then when mounting the face, it should be 1/8" from the center of where you want the gap on top and bottom. The next drawer will be the same to give the total gap.

I use spacers or stop blocks any time I can. As long everything is the same it all looks perfect.

I hope everything goes smoothly. I used to hate installing draw slides. I would spend as much time installing the slides as building the cabinet.

@@ShopRamblings I used part of your method and part of mine. Instead of a spacer to set each outer slide I measured from the bottom of the carcass, that way if my spacer was off by 1/16" I wouldn't keep stacking in the error until the top slide was off by 3/8".

Thanks

You can do it!

You are so welcome!

I wish I could post pictures in the comments. I have gone back and put walnut draw fronts with 3/32 gaps. Closed up the gap underneath in the front so any dust that goes through the dog holes comes out the back and I completely closed in the drawers in the back. Not more dust in the drawers. Maybe I will shot a short update and post it.

Thank you 😊

That would work but you would have to set the slides back.

I am not sure if this type of slide has a back mount. What I do is cut a spacer block. I measure the lip on the inside. If it is under 1/4" I will somethime I will just put a couple of washers. More than that, I will cut 2 strips and put them vertically, making sure they are where the screws go. Then I use screw long enough to go through the spacer and into the cabinet.

@@ShopRamblings OK, thank you :)

I mount the slides touching the table. There needs to be a small amount of space under the draw, so it doesn't rub when opening and closing. I normally use a 1/8" spacer.

I measured the opening. I subtracted 1/8". Then divided that by the number of drawers I wanted. Then made each drawer 1/8" shorter than that. That gives 1/8" above and below each drawer.

Thank you Robert.

I would rather quick and easy than try to show how "good" I am by doing it the hard way. Thank you for the comment.

Are you referring to the metal drawer slide to the drawer. If so I didn't measure. I made sure it was flush to the front and bottom edge.

The easiest way is to place the slides in the opening where the drawer goes up against one side and measure to the other side. Some slides will tell you the amount of room that they take up. I find for this style slide that it's normally about and half an inch on each side, so I just make the drawers one inch smaller than the opening. 📏📐 #DIY #HomeImprovement #Handyman

The sides normally say how much space. For this style, 1/2" on each side is standard.

I don't know why but I didn't realize just what the spacer was you showed at the very first. Once that clicked it is a no brainer. Sorry for my confusion.

@@stuartjohnson8171 it takes me 3 times to get things most of the time. I am glad you figured it out.

Great video. Perfect timing for me. Thanks!!

When you open the drawer all the way out, normally you can see a small lever. Push it up or down, and it should release the catch. It you want email me your number and I can text you some pictures and try to help. Shopramblings@gmail.com

Most of this kind of slide takes 1/2" each. Measure your opening width and subtract 1". If you think your slides are not standard, place both sets against one side and measure from the other side to the slides, and that should also give you the correct measurement. If you need more help let me know.

@@ShopRamblings Thanks. Vince

Thanks

They don't have to be. They can be mounted anywhere you want on the side.

amzn.to/3nuYMRS These are the ones I use.

What type of slide did you get?

@@ShopRamblings well when I could not get apart i looked up order and its exactly like yours but unbranded. They seem good quality, slide easily, come apart easily and heavy. The drawer attachment is going well. They are not soft close because on utube women couldn’t install them and gave up. others said buy regular close its easier. appreciate your video, i was lost. watched a million videos and read and read directions. i have more than 6 drawers to do but this is for the broken ones. I am fixing drawers and replacing sliders then will paint the cabinets.

I am not sure I completely understand what you are trying to say. My drawers are 1" narrower than the opening. The slides are 1/2" wide on each side. I mount the slides flush to the bottom. I used a paint stick to give me just under a 1/8" gap on the bottom. I used the same paint stick to mark the spacer for the slides above the bottom one.

@ShopRamblings I am so sorry! Somehow my message was sent to you when it was meant for previous video before yours. Again I'm sorry.
