[@DaveTheDasher77]

Cheers for making this video Mel, To be honest this is something I have always had trouble with,,many attempts and swear words everytime.😂 I have downloaded this video for future use. Thankyou mate.

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Hay buddy glad to be of service 👍🤓👍

[@denisecafferky2248]

Brilliant. Drawers look great 👍

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Thank you 🙏

[@franklealand1181]

Well Mel you have described a professional fit unit in my kitchen in my flat and I saw them put together with the least amount of screws and I'm willing to bet the Mel built ones will probably last longer even though they will go through so many earthquakes . Well built young man

[@lifeadventureprojects]

Bloody ell Mel! This would have saved me 2 weeks! 😂 May go back an revisit them later! Thanks for the tips!

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Oh mate I literally finished filming this when you uploaded your video I felt really bad for you 🥹👍👍

[@nigelphillips9426]

Its so much easier to mark the canter line of the runner on drawing & carcass less faf than your method been fitting kitchens for years

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Well if that’s the case then do us all a favour and make a video showing how an expert would do it I’d love to know 👍🍻

[@nigelphillips9426]

Thank you 🙏

Great job Mel.

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Thank you 🙏

I used push to open runners. They open when driving. A sharp turn can close the drawer further, causing it to spring open. Ok for light contents, but heavy stuff didn't work for me

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Oh no I was worried about that 🤨

[@stephenpoessl5464]

Great job mel

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Thank you 🙏

[@skookumjack]

Very nice job, Mel! I can see you'll be having that in your next van build 👍👍👍

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

That's the plan!

[@johncally4429]

Nice job Mel, I just fitted these in my van build, surprisingly easy to install, used a speed square clamped to the side panel to set the runner in place. The three tabs are designed to allow some lateral movement, bend them out slightly first and use the first hole.

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Nice work!

[@ifell3]

Seen a video where he cut out a jig/form of old plywood that sat on the bottom cross member then placed the runner on top of that.

[@lloydwiltshire8302]

Hi Mel the only downside to these push release runners is you can’t as far as I can tell put a finished drawer front onto the basic drawer box. Unless your front sits probably a cm or 1/2 inch old money from the side panels.

[@lloydwiltshire8302]

Edit. I see you left the sides the same width as the box. Fair play.

[@klaas-janmodder9025]

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Not really necessary if you get it right the first time

[@mentalneil]

Tut tut, Mel, how dare you forget the plinth, how very dare you

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Why waste space on a plinth 👍

[@kodithebear]

Yikes what a pain in the ass 🤣 Great job though!
