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.

[@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 🙂

[@rjoedunnam3618]

I am doing some cabinet work in my home and this is a great video. I am changing my method of building and using the under mount slides. Thank you

[@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.

[@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 .

[@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".

[@wesleygiacobbe1059]

Love the instrument and commentary.. looking to start progressing my wood working into custom work. Thank you for helping me progress in my journey

[@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!

[@almarisrodriguez8032]

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

[@The9mmProfessor]

I've watched this series of BCTEW numerous times. Awesome instruction. You sir, are a gifted teacher. I am grateful for all you do. You have given me inspiration to want to rebuild my kitchen by myself. I am learning skills that, had I listened to my grandpa when I was a kid I would have learned this trade as a teenager. Well, better late than never. Jason, thank you sir. These videos are invaluable to me. Cheers !

[@dr4g0nt4nk3r]

How did the kitchen rebuild go?

[@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.

[@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.

[@OffRoad-jh1do]

Nice shop equipment and set up! Gotta love the Festool system had mine for about 10 years now. Great video!

[@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.

[@Thecommandersartist]

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

[@marvjacobs5857]

Great video. Love the way you explain everything when you need to know it and not a long boring version.

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@brocharumplestilskin4513]

This was a perfect video. I just spent hours being frustrated with the side mount soft-close drawer glides. Spent hundreds of dollars only to have the various slides fail over and over. trying different brands. When he just threw the slides in the video, I busted a gut. It made my day!!!! Now I will look at the under mounts.

[@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 🤙🏻

[@zmanjeep8230]

Great videos very informative. Cant wait for part 3. Now plan to build all my new kitchen cabinets. Thanks

[@clickster1883]

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this episode!

[@zetsu0737]

Ok

[@Litephaze2000]

I LOVE your video series! WOW! You make it look soooo easy! Love your sense of humor, too!

[@saighusa]

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

[@philipmiller5202]

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

[@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 !

[@orenbarat8913]

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

[@Itsjustbeau]

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

[@blackstonecap]

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

[@mikeamboy7292]

I have never used under mount slides. Have been curious about how to, next opportunity I will. Thank a bunch

[@donnatalielucasheimbigner7598]

Excellent drawer slides. SUPER quick & easy.

[@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.

[@kirkmoody7472]

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

[@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"

[@jodiepalmer2404]

I really did enjoy your video. You made it so simple and easy to install. Now, I'm off to buy undermount drawer slides.

[@tupelowoodcarver1785]

Great videos..been doing side mounted for 30 years. Just never wanted to switch bc it just seemed complicated. Ordering a case now..

[@vincentbertocchio3512]

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

[@rsz90182]

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

[@michaelgrumbach4896]

I just finished the drawers today. Easy Squeezy Lemon Pleasey recipe 😊

[@BronkBuilt]

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

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Epic video. Thanks for making each step so clear. Subscribed!! 👍👍

[@BroShaver]

Makes it look so easy. Thanks for the series.

[@toucanproductions2935]

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

[@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.

[@stephensever5630]

I’ve been patiently waiting on this video. Thanks for all the knowledge you’re sharing!

[@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.

[@57z]

That thumbnail is good comedy! Your channel is poised to explode. You’re releasing videos at a pace that hopefully tickles the algorithm.

[@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

[@windsorx]

Thank you for doing this I’m excited to try this out and build up to a full kitchen remodel

[@tootoobzy]

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

[@BigJeff19999]

Very informative video, thank you for taking the time to post this!! The Mrs would love some pull out shelves for the lower kitchen cabinets. Can you make an instructional video that makes installation as easy as this?? My cabinets are a lot deeper than the 21 inches that these seem to come in, and fwiw, the plywood interiors of the cabinets don't seem as sturdy (or square) as your cabinet in the video. Lastly, of course we have already done the countertop with granite, so I have to work around the existing stuff. Doing some research on those slides you posted, they look too quality. I haven't worked with them before and would really love some tips! Thanks, Jeff

[@statictargetx9464]

You're videos are fantastic man! Can't wait for part three!

[@AllDataDawgs1962]

Salute to you Sir! Great teaching. I appreciate the fact that you are sharing your experience with us. I learned quite a bit from you for sure. Man, those what you call "fest tool" stuff are $$$ I wish I can afford them one day :)

[@josemariadelgado148]

Buen trabajo, gracias por mostrarnos tus habilidades amigo 👏👏👍👍

[@camaroryder]

Love your videos! Can't wait to see part 3.

[@garryryan3654]

Finally - after a ridiculous number of drawer and slide videos - this one looked like it'll actually work.

[@douglasdurham6548]

Thanks I am changing to the undermount slides.

[@bphenry]

I friggin' love your videos. They're informative, well produced, targeted at my skill/equipment level, and hilarious. About twice a video I need to back up a minute or so because I was laughing too hard to see what went on. :-)

[@ninthfloor33020]

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

[@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)

[@koreywilliams4570]

I'm going to try this in the next month or so. I'm in the planning stages right now. I want to build a thing to hold my fishing rods and extra tackle.

[@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.

[@tlanc1283]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@michelevitarelli]

Great project and video. Thanks for sharing your tricks.

[@leet5357]

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

[@danghenr]

Your videos are great. Excellent explanations.

[@kellyfagan3823]

Awesome way to clarify some confusing issues on slides. I do have a question concerning the placement of the right rear piece of plywood. Measure over the same distance from side to verticle divider as in front? Thank you

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work Jason! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@teodoromaximus]

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

[@whitexeno]

Part 3 hype train, all aboard.

[@zetsu0737]

Ok

[@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.

[@elroySF]

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

[@josephemerson3357]

Love your craftsmanship!! You should give us all a shop tour video sometime !!!!

[@larryk6330]

I just finished building a unit with three side mounted drawers and wish I had seen this first. From now on it'll be under mounts, fer sure.

[@jshrawder49]

I love this series!!

[@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.

[@wolfbyte1555]

Awesome video! As always! 👍

[@jimmydickson8854]

Your good at that talented your in the right trade thanks for the tutorial

[@gabrielgunakabelen2982]

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

[@millicentblalock3127]

Would love to see a tour of your shop!! I’m hooked on your vids, man.

[@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. 🤞

[@lisablake4237]

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

[@garygoudeau8346]

Great installation tips. Thanks.

[@congressbassman]

Excellent and fun filled tutorial.

[@fredmuehter3307]

Jason, yr cabinet build videos are the best on the tube! Question: I'm building a lengthy cabinet w/ drawers for my pickup for camping. Some peeps recommend dado joints for drawers and box since I don't have a table saw or router(yet) trying to avoid that. Will a lengthy drawer assembled out of Baltic hold up with just glue and brads OR pocket holes instead?

[@reymalaret9664]

Nicely done ✔ now, get going to the next level 👏

[@GJRight]

Hey , that was awesome! Keep the vids coming!

[@anthonylaforest9269]

He makes it fun to watch and he is very knowledgeable

[@rockymccoy7833]

Love your cabinet build. If you were to build a toe kick cabinet, how would you build it? What would be your simplest way.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Awesome video. Always learn something new. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@chackett99]

Easily my new favorite woodworker.

[@tombyrne5983]

I said it in #1, but I must restate: You are great teacher/craftsman! Tom Byrne

[@timeighty5]

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

[@CircusBison]

Love your musical choices. You like Red Fang? Wish my dad (a lifetime hobby fine workworker and furniture maker) was still alive. I would be sending him to watch your videos. I did inherit his tools, so you will be helping me to improve the stuff I make.

[@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.
