How to assemble dovetail drawer boxes

[@benmorris2070]

I just purchased 5 of these drawer boxes. They are very easy to assemble and very well designed and made. Fantastic product! By the way I was trying to get quotes on these drawer boxes at the local home improvement companies and they wanted to charge well over $70 for a standard drawer box. Barker Door was $15 per box. What a price!!!

Gee, mine were about $70 each on average from Barker. But half were 22.5 x 22" and half were 34.5 x 22". And it's 5 years later than your experience.

I would add one final step. Get a square and check the drawer after assembly. A couple of light taps to the out-of-square corner and the drawer is spot-on. There is just enough free-play in the joints to make this an issue for me. But all-in-all, the plywood drawer is great and VERY solid.

[@marioamayaflamenco]

Check the diagonals. They should be equal.

Just bought a dozen BIG ass boxes from you guys. I gotta say, very nice quality. I built an inverted jig to drop down in the box to hold it square. Works a treat. Thanks again.

4:34 he totally mangles the corner sanding it. "Just like that".

[@lahillsm3]

I'm guessing he doesn't do the sanding at that company, given his last name!

[@lookatubex]

Hahaha oh my God I noticed that too. Way to fuck it up bud.

Very helpful. Is there a video about installing the guides.

I've built custom cabinets before, and $15 is less than the price of labor required for cutting down the plywood sheets to dimension, cutting the dadoes, and routing the dovetail joints. Don't even start with the cost of Baltic birch ply. Hard to believe it can be so cheap.

Great instruction - so easy I'm giving the job to my "wife".

[@SigKappel]

awesome solution. saw that edge of ply lift when sanding haha 😉

[@LivingListed]

How do you add the cabinet face though and the hardware and stuff? Also, how do you make a shelf for a drawer?

Three things: 1. Chad is so handsome, it's almost distracting. 2. Chad is so handsome, I can't look away. 3. I have a custom kitchen that is 10-years old. Wish the construction was plywood. The particle board boxes and drawers fail on a regular basis.

Maybe if you ask real nice, Chad will come over and personally install some new drawers... 🤣

Rubber mallet? Try a 5 lb. sledge with these suckers...
