EASY DIY Slide Out Cabinet Trays - 167

Free plans! jayscustomcreat...
Subscribe for new videos every week. I'm in the process of making two bathroom vanities for a relative and thought it would be a great opportunity to show how easy it is to make a simple slide out tray for any cabinet. You can use this method in a kitchen, bathroom, or even a shop cabinet for tools. I would use better slides if you want to use them for tools though.

I love it, it gets straight to the point & is simple. (It doesn't start off with music, logos or any other bullshit people put at the beginning to waste time.)

[@xshra]

lmao ifkr??

[@jeremydyar7566]

I couldn't believe it. Deserves a sub off the bat

[@WhyNot-zr5kl]

By far the easiest and simplest vid on building these that I have seen on the net! Thank you!

[@learnerlearns]

Wow Jay... You are not only a smart practical carpenter, but you have become one of the best videographers on KZbin. These brief videos pack a TON of useful info into a dense super-concise format. If schools operated more like your videos, we would have a more educated populace.

[@CharlesNolanArt]

I could not say it any better. Very good video!

[@patless74gaming]

i made a cabinet/work table for my small basement workshop and used this to great result. I made a slide out tray for my 3 gallon compressor (on the bottom like your example here) and also a deep drawer (9'') above the compressor for plastic tools like feather boards, pusk stiocks and my grrripper. I've seen all the cideos and can't wait for the next one.

[@obrapro]

An old video that has the best and simplest explanation of the project.

[@beaglewso]

For what it's worth, I thought the wrap up was fantastic. Showing what is the minimum required toolset vs what you used and how it's easier is a great approach. I know many of us novices have a limited number of tools so knowing what we can expect helps! I've grown my tool collection to make life easier but this was a helpful bit nonetheless.

[@waynemiller6070]

Jay, You're a very good teacher and an inspiration. I was tired of my shelf and pegboard mess in my garage and instead of making drawers or cabinets I made a 48" bench about 42" high and 24" deep against the old messy wall. I've made the sliding shelves as you have done here. I still have pegboard above (even more actually) but with deep sliding shelves, they hold more supplies with easier access. BTW, I downloaded sketch-up but it didn't speed up this particular project. I was spending so much time trying to learn the program that I decided to just go cut some wood and get started (finished). I've been watching the tutorials on sketch-up as well as your videos, and I wanted to thank you for your contributions.

[@teehip]

Perfect and to the point. Thank you.

[@jasonbaldridge8091]

I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your photos photos and videos that you share with us it really helps on some of the projects that we do so thanks for all the plans being free. Looking forward to more videos and tutorials thank you again

[@JayBates]

Jason Baldridge Very cool Jason. Thank you for the feedback and I appreciate you watching.

[@ACoustaDC]

And you included free plans on your web site!! You're the best!

[@allyncollins359]

The simplest, easiest explanation I have seen. Thank you so much. Shelves don't seem so intimidating anymore!

[@randyhawley7202]

Quick, easy, inexpensive and highly useful ! Just about a perfect project !

[@ShowYouOnceAgain]

thank you !!!!!!!!!!!! so glad to see you respect your audience by moving quickly through this.... love it... will be making these in a few weeks.

[@gkkent]

Thank you. Your video helped me make a giant slide out shelf for our kitchen!!! Wifey approved!!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I don't have any intention of making a vanity anytime soon. But I always like watching anyways because I always learn something. Half way through the video I realized that this would totally solve some storage issues under my bathroom and kitchen sinks. I already have slides. Already have plywood. Thanks for the idea.

[@ITubetc]

I am starting this project for a cabinet with all the plastic containers you know the one every one has one. I am going to add A high back so all the light weight tubs don't get pushed off the back of the tray. Thanks for posting you videos Jay, they are always worth watching.

[@ITubetc]

Watched the video, measured the cabinets, went to Home Depot to buy the wood, made and installed the trays then watched the Super bowl, all in one day! Thanks for the inspiration Jay.

[@JayBates]

Eric Hallman You tha man Eric! Glad to hear that :)

[@christianbuzio9468]

Thank you for your clear and plan explanation as usual. I am a little intimidate in doing drawers, always afraid too wide or to small for space between guides. I will follow your suggestions and try to make it right. Ciao from your italian fan Chris

[@nicholasvasquez4223]

Just came across your channel and I can't stop watching your videos.I grew up making little projects with my father and it's been a passion of mine ever since.I'm considering making my kids bedroom sets thanks to your inspirational videos.Keep it up man!

[@JayBates]

Nicholas Vasquez It's very nice to read that. Thank you and good luck with the kids bedroom :)

[@jroberts9784]

mr rambo REALLY?

[@Francescat69]

Sped up video editing like you do is genius! thank you for not making us watching it real-time! Nice job.

[@karanadon137]

So I glanced away for a bit when I thought your video was over, but was drawn back when I heard a chipmunk chattering while you were showing what you had placed in the new drawers.

[@vsbladz]

best "to the point" video. simple and precise! thanks

[@audreyeller2867]

Great Video - Simple to follow - straight to the point - Hope to see more. Thanks

[@BOBW805]

This has come at just the right time. At our age getting to the bottom kitchen and vanity cabinets is becoming difficult. Purchased a couple slide outs online. Good quality and easy to install but unbelievably expensive. Been looking for a way to easily build some for awhile and I think this is it. Any chance of doing a video on a second shelf? Thanks Jay, always enjoy your videos

[@patriciayoung6593]

I LIKE IT SIMPLE AND EASY TO DO

[@vickiewilkerson2281]

Great video and you made it to where you could see and understand what you were doing. Thank you.

[@TrapperJohn5719]

I have NO idea why ANYONE would thumbs down this project. They probably have NO idea about construction OR tools. Thanks, Jay, for posting this. Great speaking voice, great speed-ups,... top notch!!

[@JayBates]

TrapperJohn5719 Don't worry about the thumbs down. They mean nothing anyway. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching John.

[@TheOctapodi]

Excellent video

[@riggsdesigner]

Thanks for making it easy and getting right into it

[@markcolegrove]

Am I the only one that was waiting for Jay to demonstrate the finished shelf? What a tease!!!

[@Zero_Crates]

Thank you Jay! This will resolve my pots and pan storage issue in the kitchen!

[@JayBates]

Seven McKibben Nice.

[@PhilReynolds]

Great video. Right to the point. I will definitely be doing this in my new bathroom vanity.

[@MaDeuce80]

Very nice! Going to come in handy soon.

[@JayBates]

Ma Deuce Yup :) Thanks for watching.

[@MaDeuce80]

Thanks again. I made a few of these and came out great! I also used John Heisz's advice on installing the drawer glides. You make a great team.

[@JayBates]

Ma Deuce haha. Thanks. John is a cool dude.

[@jeremydyar7566]

You make my process of screenshotting with captions on for future reference a lot more valuable

[@WriterKeys]

You're a very practical man Jay. I love watching your videos. Do keep them coming! - All the way from Singapore

[@cherryart1951]

Good clear video, and I have made these using his directions. Plan to make some more, too..

[@1954BJohn]

Looks good Jay.

[@JayBates]

1954BJohn Thank you John.

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Back at the cabinet shop, we called these roll-out shelves. They were a $50 add-on option for base cabinets. We did a lot of them in kitchen sink bases - usually on the left side, for some reason. About half of them also incorporated a trash can holder. Easy to make and, as you said, the cost is pretty low.

[@JayBates]

Rusty Pup Nice. I was going to make a trash can slide but in the end decided they can upgrade this if they want

[@mralexxx4400]

I want that shirt!

[@BackyardWoodworking]

Very nice Jay. They would be good in the shop cabinets. Thanks for the video

[@JayBates]

Backyard Woodworking Thanks Roland.

[@Geeksmithing]

Very cool Jay! I tabbed away from what I thought was the end of the video, and the sped up part at the end startled me. Ha.

[@GooberMcNutly]

Just wanted to say I love how tightly you cut your video edits. It keeps it moving.

[@Checkthefineprint]

Enjoyed the concise informative video Thank you Looks perfect would work well in my vanity for laundry hamper.

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

Thanks for the video. I think I will do this to my kitchen sink cabinet as its a pain to reach to the far back of it to grab something in the rear of the cabinet. This add-on to kitchen cabinets is fairly costly, but you can do it for a fraction of the cost. Just be sure to check out the weight specs of the slides so you don't over work them.

[@logowatchman]

Great Jay.

[@jonnymiskatonic]

Excellent, definitely doing some of these when I redo my bathroom vanity.

[@JohnGodwin30]

Great Video.

[@matthewhopkins475]

Wish I'd heard your comment about being able to do every cut with a circular saw before I convinced my other half i needed to buy myself a table saw........but then.....now I've got a table saw! 😁😁😁

[@trentw26]

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimcoogan1529]

Great solution. I use that same idea in one of my tool cabinets when I got a bunch of those same slides on sale.

[@JayBates]

Jim Coogan Nice. I'm designing a new assembly table/workbench with a lot of drawers and trays in mind.

[@jimcoogan1529]

Jay Bates Festool has something called a Sysport (www.amazon.com/Festool-SYS-PORT-1000-2-Systainer/dp/B00149B7NU) that holds several of their tool systainers. I started to design one that uses your slides that looks like their unit did but way below what they charge for theirs. Then I thought like you did, why not integrate the Festool products I have right into my workbench using the same trays you designed with the Euro slides. Works for me. Thanks,

[@bryanp1969]

you were right simple simple simple i need to do this for my elderly mother so she doesnt have to crawl around on the floor when looking in her lower cabinets thanks for the idea

[@frankorona1]

Great work, thanks for the plans.

[@JayBates]

Francisco Corona You're very welcome. Thanks for watching Fancisco.

[@emilypolanco4014]

Awesome video! Thank you.

[@LukeLGK]

Very cool.

[@maaryssa]

Very helpful. Thank you. I will do the same for a jewelry sliding tray.

[@athiker7209]

Thanks for the idea. I'm actually in the middle of a workbench project that I think could use this feature, maybe on one side and make two drawers for my smaller items. The other half of the cabinet could be left as an open cabinet. Seeing how you used the hardware explains the process. I've not done this before.

[@JayBates]

athiker7209 Glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching.

[@AlphaRomeoBlackburn]

Well done, thank you for sharing .

[@jameshewett2009]

Thanks Jay. Great video as always and an inspiration. Hoping you might post a video on the cabinet build as well...?

[@HarryWatts65]

Hi Jay: thanks for the video, some very useful tips and ideas, cheers Harry

[@joe2479]

A+ Nice video. Clear, excellent video shots, to the point.

[@fabissvega]

Muchas gracias Jay es facil y sencillo de realizar y necesitava ver un buen ejemplo y este me será de mucha ayuda... :)

[@MegaApenstaartje]

Looks good

[@JayBates]

Gijs Boskers Thank you.

[@embecmom5863]

I used this method and it worked brilliantly and I cant draw a straight line with a ruler!

[@TranTheClever]

This was great and I love the inexpensive price fir a great look! 1:22

[@ytkealoha]

Jay, many thanks. I needed this idea for an Ikea hack. U B The MAN

[@jasonhenley84]

Nice! Informative and quality advice as always.

[@JayBates]

j Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@barretthageman3350]

Nice, Thanks Jay.

[@cwadub]

Nice job I have a mud & utility room remodel coming up going to be doing something similar

[@erialettchill]

I love how you sped everything up and cut all unnecessary portions from the vid. thanks!

[@tarzan688]

I come from Taiwan Thank you very much Jay, I really like your video It helped me a lot

[@Shopbuilt]

Did you always have that nailer or did you just get it? Get vid! Thanks for sharing

[@ACoustaDC]

Wow... this is the simplest version of slideouts ever.

[@imatrixyourbulla]

Thank youuuuuu

[@Road8Entertainment]

Great video!

[@markn.795]

Good 👍

[@macksara29macksimumrc]

Great video, thanks. I am doing this.

[@sissymurphy9620]

thank you now I will make some for my kitchen cabinets and drawer slides I can get cheap at harbor freight

[@SteveSam66]

Jay, Good Stuff, very useful

[@JayBates]

S Sam Thank you Sam. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

[@dalleth]

I know this is crazy but the whole time I was like. "Cool I want to see it pull out .... Ok, it's the wrap up ... Ok it's almost over ... surely he's going to .... dammit!" You bested me this time Jay Bates ... OH WAIT, IT'S AT THE VERY END! WOOT! Thank you for feeding my OCD.

[@JayBates]

Joel Crawford lol. I had to speed it up because my lav mic wasn't recording and the stock camera audio sounds painful. Make it a chipmunk and nobody will know!

[@fritzgolden6237]

Same here. I'm like,"When is he going to pull it out? He's not going to! Jerk". Then he did. Excellent video.

[@kkrankie]

Great great job. Describe what you are going to be doing, fast forward through the construction. No music and hand held camera angles. Funny ending! Subbed.

[@m3rdpwr]

Nice

[@fj55tyrant]

Subscribed

[@mikecarter1774]

That would work great in the kitchen also. Mounted at the top, just under the counter, for a pull-out cutting board.

[@JayBates]

Mike Carter Good idea!

[@MRrwmac]

Seems easy enough when you do it but I would screw it up somehow (Haha). Nice "quick" tip at the end also. Thanks for sharing.

[@Hallowsaw]

What would you recommend for adding a shelf to the bottom of a old dining room table that I use as a TV stand but under I use to store all my automotive tools and detailing stuff. In other words, its heavy stuff so what would be heavy duty enough for 200lb of tools?

[@DIYTyler]

Amazes me that you always are able to find wood with such good grain character. Great tips Jay Bates

[@JayBates]

***** Its all there...just gotta look :)

[@blackwolf1066]

Great except I already have fitted cabinets so not so easy and I have bad knees hence why I want slide outs. Putting my thinking cap on but all helps thank you.

[@markrasmussen8565]

How great would it have been if you had demonstrated the shelves in action.

[@thebrianingle]

Awesome video Jay - detailed but short and sweet, great work. Question - could this same slide out tray be done as a pantry with 4-5 trays "stacked" - I'm thinking I'd just build the side frames then the 1x2's inside at each tray. Am I under-thinking it?

[@TranTheClever]

Question, when you talk about glue are you talking about Elmers glue? 5:26

[@DesignBuildExecute]

I tried using those Euroslides on some of my projects and I just found them to be cheap and flimsy. I decided to just invest the money into the full extension ball-bearing slides. Things go together so much easier with those, at least for me.

[@mikenestle4679]

Are the air-driven fasteners structural or are they just to keep the wood together until the glue dries? What size fastener did you use? Good job! This is the best, concentrated video on making roll-out trays!

[@JayBates]

Mike Nestle The glue will do the long term holding. The nails will hold it in place until the glue dries.

[@alpcats]

BTW, new subscriber, you make it look easy...

[@alpcats]

I like the fast forward effect in the tutorial, I hate watching people drive a screw in real time...

[@kwhp1507]

So the stiles do not always have to run top to bottom uncut? Trying to figure these things out, as I have not built any cabinets yet. Just a few bookshelves. I was under the impression the rails joined to the sides of stiles?

[@tank6035able]

Awesome....About how much weight would it hold?

[@colin8532]

marking this video down for future reference, thank you :)

[@JayBates]

Colin Keevil You're very welcome Colin. Thanks for watching.

[@dpscott000]

Hi Jay I was curious how your going to finish the cabinet. Paint or with stain? Also are you making raised panel doors? I would really like to see some other videos of this cabinet as you complete the project. Great job!

[@JayBates]

dpscott000 The project is for a relative who chose pine with early american minwax stain. I'll spray a coat of lacquer after that. Full video on the build as well.

[@TheTinkerinMan]

Ive been wanting to do something like this in the kitchen. Interesting little bit at the end too! I was readng comments and suddenly heard angry chipmunks!

[@JayBates]

TheTinkerinMan haha...they weren't angry...they were hyper

[@The99allan99]

Can I use this method to make drawers ? Because I don't have a table saw. Also do you have any tips for an attic closet ? Thanks
