Build Cabinets The Easy Way | Building and Installing Drawers

[@MsKaylakay19]

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

[@Elbur2019]

I just installed the undermount drawer slides for all the kitchen base cabinets I made. I have double the number of cabinets than the previous kitchen build I did but installing the slides with your technique took me a fraction of the time. Less (in fact zero) swearing and perfect first go. Amazing. Thank you so much.

[@donaldpyles2891]

I have watched a hundred videos on cabinet building and by far this is the easiest method I have seen. Thanks for sharing, Oh and great name for your business!

[@patspadafora6496]

This is an amazing school for anyone who wants to take their woodworking abilities to the next level - thanks so very much for your sharing of experience .

[@ame2entre]

Major major thanks! I built my kitchen cabinets and used side-mount cause I thought undermount were too tedious and difficult. I'm now doing a 8 foot bathroom vanity and I clicked on your video to see if you had an easier way to do side-mount. After I watched the video I was completely impressed. Followed your method to the "T" and now have six perfect undermount soft-slide drawers.

[@dbagpiper]

Sure do appreciate this video. Love woodworking and am largely self-taught. Currently remodeling my own kitchen (building face frame, shaker style cabinets as per your videos) and I can't tell you how much you've saved me in costly mistakes (that I most certainly would have made). Hope I get the chance to buy you a whisky some day, you've really helped! Cheers from Tigard!

[@timharincar]

Thanks for this tutorial! I'm making new drawers for my kitchen cabinets, and while not *quite* as simple as what you're doing here (think cabinets from the 60s), your clear and complete instruction was a godsend to making this project accessible. Thanks for taking the time to share 🙂

[@hot-pink-beast]

Just found your account and love the way you explain things, your lil tips and sense of humour lmao rad dad energy 🤙🏻

[@orenbarat8913]

You should do the same video series, but with uppers and their install! Awesome work, man!

[@almarisrodriguez8032]

I build 2 cabinets for my kitchen. You are the most incredible mentor who explains very well. Thank you so much!!

[@billparsons7732]

This man knows his trade, love his knowledge, and presentation quality. Thank you! P.S. I can understand his voice since I donated most of my hearing to power tools and airplanes.

[@blaster-zy7xx]

Me too. I'm installing flooring before renovating a kitchen and my BFR is due this month.

[@saighusa]

Great presentation, you're an excellent teacher, presenter, and entertainer.

[@jimwalker76]

I've saved your videos to refer back to. I'm going to start my walk-in closet makeover next week. I plan on building a 6 drawer chest in the build and your video is full of great information. I will definitely be using under drawer mounts. Thanks so much.

[@CRayWorks]

That's for your hard work on this - I never understood how someone would give it 👎

[@robandtina]

Those are the folks that built their cabinets in May.

[@dawndonly1489]

I am designing and going to build a small island in my kitchen with large deep drawers. Thank goodness I started watching your videos. Love these slides. Your videoes make it seem very doable!!

[@The9mmProfessor]

Exactly what I am doing...It is very doable...take your time plan your work and work your plan. Like Jason says "go slow"

[@tomlilly]

I have seriously been intimidated by the thought of making drawers. Have increased my skill set and ready to try some drawers for the bottom cabinets in my kitchen. Thank you for this series and for so many other videos. Entertaining, real, and helpful.

[@ajsemtb]

By far the best video on making drawers and undermount slide installation.... I've watched A LOT!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@clickster1883]

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this episode!

[@zetsu0737]

Ok

[@JGill748]

I just put in draw slides for the new bathroom vanity I am building, and OMG it was so much easier the way you showed in your video. THANK YOU so much for sharing that "hack".

[@aaronlsilber]

I've enjoyed using lock miters with my router to make boxes lately. Works pretty well!

[@davidbryanwoodworksandmore]

Aaron that’s pretty cool that you’ve done it that way. Those are hard to setup correctly. And rout. Well done. I was thinking of making a video on that on my channel. It’s a great method.

[@mr.e8432]

Hey Jason, enjoying your videos. I'm a little late to the party on this one, but an important point to note on the Blum undermount slides is that all the adjustment features are set bottomed out from the factory. It's important to zero out the adjustment features on the back of the slides and the height adjustment on the draw clips before you install your drawer fronts. That way you'll have adjustability in both directions (up and down, instead of just up) if you need it in the future. It may not be a big deal on overlay fronts but on insets, if you ever need to lower the front a smidge you won't be able too.

[@jbratt]

Thank you! I was wondering about that and was going to check them.

[@mickiefox1854]

What do you mean by zero out? Are those instructions in the package with the slides?

[@mr.e8432]

@mickiefox1854 the drawer height adjustment on the drawer clips comes set all the way down. Install your drawer slides. Then make sure they are level and the adjustments are all set to neutral. (Depending on what model draw slide you get, some of them are adjustable) Then, before you put your drawer in, make sure the clips that mount to the drawer are zeroed out. The clips allow you to adjust the draw up or down. From the factory, they come set all the way at the bottom. If you don't move the clips up a bit, before you install your drawer front, you will not be able to adjust the drawer down if it's installed a bit high.

[@timhalleran3514]

Great video!! You know your craft well!! I enjoy your videos. They really build confidence. It amazing that with a table saw, miter saw, drill, glue we can pretty much make anything. If we can build a box we can build many things!! Thank you for producing these videos.

[@vincentbertocchio3512]

Man I think it's one of the best tutorial I've seen ever! Thanks a lot :)

[@terristobert1367]

You are my hero! Seriously..I'm building a galley for my micro trailer... an honestly I was dredding building drawers ..now not so much.. Yehaa to that !

[@blackstonecap]

Looking forward to doors and drawers. Great videos. Thank you

[@peterhanson3962]

Best video on cabinet, draws and draw slides that I have seen. Thank you for being such a good teacher. I too will have to ditch all my side mount slides for undermounts. Not sure yet if I will jump on them.

[@philipmiller5202]

I'm going to start building 10 drawers with bottom mount slides and this video is perfect. Thanks so much.

[@gomacontractingllc]

I will be following your videos, they are really very easy to understand even if I don't speak English well, thanks for your tips

[@leet5357]

Nice video! I enjoy the tongue in cheek presentation too.

[@jimmyz1686]

This has to be easiest way anyone has explained the install of these slides!!

[@shawnlund]

I’m about to start a cabinet project I really have no right starting with my extremely limited woodworking skills so I’m subscribed and power watching. Cheers

[@stephaniegalvan272]

Same! Barely a clue what I’m doing, but here we go.

[@toucanproductions2935]

I have been waiting on this video. Very excited about this series.

[@teodoromaximus]

Mr. Bourbon, what a nice videos man. Congratulations.

[@rsz90182]

Very nice solid, simple, fast, and beautiful piece of art.

[@donnatalielucasheimbigner7598]

Excellent drawer slides. SUPER quick & easy.

[@douglasdurham6548]

Thanks I am changing to the undermount slides.

[@Thecommandersartist]

I've seen a lot of videos on this subject but yours is the most entertaining and so simplified! Luv it !!!

[@wolfbyte1555]

Awesome video! As always! 👍

[@digschopper9321]

You're my new Spirit Animal. Rock on.

[@elroySF]

I really appreciate the work and humor you put into these. They're really inspiring me do some much-needed cabinetry.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work Jason! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@BroShaver]

Makes it look so easy. Thanks for the series.

[@thefirsted]

You are a goofball. I love it!

[@johnnyrodriguez5938]

This was so helpful man. I’m doing my 1st cabinets for a client and I’m at this point, I had a tough time today figuring out the drawers. I said I’d get home, watch some KZbin videos, and figure it out. This video was a god send. i know exactly what to do now. Thank you so much 🙏🏽

[@TheHitman5c]

Dude love you videos. I am going to remodel my kitchen in the future and I believe with your instruction I can build my own cabinets instead of buying them!

[@tamaraboyd4867]

He's so extra😂 I love it!

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

This guy's awesome on his video creation.

[@chackett99]

Easily my new favorite woodworker.

[@brucebusby2156]

Great video! One thing you never mention in your videos is the thickness of birch used for drawers. Will you confirm what thickness you use?

[@rogerlove7588]

He does tell you near the beginning. ½”.

[@anthonylaforest9269]

He makes it fun to watch and he is very knowledgeable

[@diversify210]

I actually find side mounted drawer slides much faster to mount. Bottom mount drawer slides are nice and typically allow for a little more weight, but they are going to cost you about twice as much as side mount ball bearing slides, if not more. They also require a bit more work than side mounted drawer slides and typically require a bit more planning if in the build of a cabinet if you are going to be using them. So I wouldn't suggest you ditch the side mount ball bearing slides. Just choose the slides that but suit your application.

[@stuslack4069]

Thanks!

[@tootoobzy]

Thank you for such a clear description of how to do this, and I love the humor too.

[@choimdachoim9491]

I like everything you've shown in these first 2 videos. In my kitchen remodel I'll copy you except add 2 dowels on each side of the drawer face because all my life I've been cursed with the faces pulling apart. I've also been cursed with bottoms falling out from heavy loads so I've always made 3/8" bottoms.

[@knottodaywoodworking9910]

I just went around my whole house and ripped all the drawers out and tore off the drawer slides and threw them across my shop.

[@n3rdst0rm]

Poor man's probably dead now.

[@adamjonkie5601]

Nice! Video or it didn’t happen!!

[@pedraw]

Awwwwwesome dude.......seriously. great work.

[@jshrawder49]

I love this series!!

[@michaelreynolds6543]

great content im just bingeing on youtube to see how I can make cabinets for my campervan project love your humour and presentations you could be an honorary brit hahahah (im in the UK btw)

[@tlanc1283]

I need to start my cabinets over. LOL You are fun to watch too. Thanks!

[@BronkBuilt]

You have talked me into giving the undermount slides a try. I'm enjoying your videos.

[@highjix]

I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see a full shot tour right down to the dust handling system.

[@davidbryanwoodworksandmore]

It doesn’t seem like he’s got any dust collection. It’s not smart.

[@sturbain7096]

You’re a genius!!! Love it👏👏👏👏👏bravo!!!!!

[@gigiscrafts1259]

awesome!! very easy to understand. thank you!

[@lisablake4237]

OMG where have you been. I am rebuilding an old RV and I am just nerding out on these videos. Hello from Alaska.

[@stevenrobertson9583]

I love those draw slides for a time shaving procedure to save time and money 💰🤣

[@Hatchmade]

I’ve been converted to under mount drawer slides!

[@pothead6438]

You are a very clever man.

[@gabrielgunakabelen2982]

I like the way you share your profession Bro...so fun and enjoyable Bro

[@danghenr]

Your videos are great. Excellent explanations.

[@Itsjustbeau]

You made a clean video I admire the effort you put into the production. That was excellent

[@bullpaxton2001]

random tip ive found on the wood branding... if your wood is slightly damp it makes the register really even and strong.

[@CogentConsult]

“And spread the glue using my patented Bourbon Moth glue brush.” LOL Nice video. Thank you!

[@kirkmoody7472]

Dude! Crazy awesome. Class Act! Thanks for the education. You make it look too easy. Looking forward to more content.

[@Hedgehodge-]

dispose of your linseed oil rags properly. a can full of water with the lid on it for example (paint can). Ask me how I know what happens....my shed burnt down lol. Spontaneous combustion is real with natural oils. Love your videos, thanks for all the info!

[@walterrider9600]

thank you Bourbon

[@stevenrobertson9583]

Great show and (show & build) I worked with a company that their less expensive cabinets where &80,000.00, yes! But they did a lot of over engineered! And over built but the finishes where absolutely FLAWLESS!

[@Bward216]

I keep rewatcbing this series. Only thing I wish it had was actual detailed measurements so I could apply all of this to my build...

[@johnjrambo5827]

Awesome video again mate thanks ..

[@cackleberryfarm4598]

Great video on the step by step. REALLY liked it! Those drawer glides are CRAZY expensive though. Just hose 4 drawers for that cabinet would be 200 bucks! But, just like when the glides were first introduced and they were very expensive. These will probably come WAY down in price in a few years. 🤞

[@tykellerman6384]

Excellent 🤠👍🔨

[@MendandMake]

Nice job. Gonna use this

[@kdmerkle]

I learned a very smart technique from you that you didn't even explain: have the drawer bottom dry-assembled in the drawer as you glue it up, that way the slots will be correctly aligned when you glue the other end. Thanks!

[@timeighty5]

I wish I would've seen this 2 weeks ago when I used side mount slides, It sucked installing them.

[@-PaulyD-]

Awesome videos and very well done! Thank you so much for taking the time to make such amazing, easy to follow videos! After watching all 3 videos I didn’t get or see (correct me if I’m wrong) how the base is attached/installed to the cabinet?

[@AngeliqueKaga]

Thank you KZbin for suggesting this channel for me. Just became a subscriber to your awesomeness!🤘🏼

Yeassssss! The side mount drawer slide diss was the best!!! You had me for like 0.2 seconds like "no way he prefers those!" 😂

[@hungryarch7319]

Suffering from some major shop envy, my friend

[@GrizzCraftCustoms]

Appreciate the content. You mentioned the inset drawer width is the distance between the slides and plus the width of the two side pieces. What two side pieces, the drawer sides, or something else?

[@Pit.Gutzmann]

I like your humour, man!

[@garygoudeau8346]

Great installation tips. Thanks.

Love your videos man!

You could screw them to template and then use it as a jib For drilling holes for back brackets

those are some nice drawers. could probably park my truck on top of them.

[@stevebates2393]

I’ve not been subscribed for that long, and yes I know, I can hear you, stupid, but i guess I deserve that. Your videos are amusing, informative and addictive. Your style of building is excellent, and to top it all, you are a funny guy. keep up the great work and Hello from the UK.

[@Motoch3]

Love the detailed explanation of the construction. Are you using 3/4" plywd for your drawer boxes?

[@TheCoRafter]

I had the same question.

[@brensonlowery885]

As do I, 3/4" or 1/2". Hard to tell from the video itself. It looks like 3/4 but again not sure
