How to Build & Install Pull Out Shelves - DIY Guide

[@JoeyRam.]

I wonder where in America or internet, I can find good sliders like those you are using. Are they specify by weight resistant?

[@DPShopTalk]

+Joey Cymbals I always use 100 lb weight rated slides for drawers and pull outs. I'll put a couple of links below for slides that I've used and recommend. Accuride makes a high quality slide. They are a bit more expensive but are less greasy and work very well. amzn.to/2y8D3Di The Pro Series slides are much more economical and still work very well. I find they do have a bit more grease on them so I usually wear a glove when handling them like I did in this video. That avoids getting grease on the finished project. I've used these slides on a lot of different projects from pull outs to kitchen drawers. amzn.to/2xqKYrM

[@eh_bailey]

Same. I've used 100lb and seen others do the same. It seems to be a good rule of thumb.

[@JoeyRam.]

The links are backwards but I get the point. I have them both in my Amazon's wish list. Thanks for bother in looking the links for me. That's very kind, have a great winter!!

I really don't understand people giving this a thumb's down. Most people click on the video, because they have an interest in learning how to build shelves. If this is you, and you gave it a thumbs down, do you know how much free information you just got? If you got this info in a college course you paid for, you would be thrilled. You just got that for free from the comfort of watching it on your screen wherever you are in only a few minutes. Whether you agree with everything he did or not, the amount of information that can be absorbed is pretty amazing. Think about that.

[@DPShopTalk]

Thanks for your comment Robert, I appreciate it. I've never really understood the thumbs down either. Even if I don't really like a video all that much I'll just move on and not give it a thumbs up. Like you said it's free information that someone has taken their own time and resources to create. In my opinion, unless a video is very offensive, a thumbs down is just rude.

[@gwendolyncollins9109]

OMG Robert! I 100% agree about the wonderful free information that Dan is giving. My husband and I know absolutely nothing about carpentry but are trying to learn if we can find a very simple but effective way to retrofit my very small, (appx 5’x13 in double door pantry), with shelves into our 1925 bungalow. I just came home from having a double mastectomy and cannot lift heavy objects anymore. Dan’s is gifted and I truly appreciate his videos. Dan you get 2 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 from us. Stay 😷

[@michele2161]

He's a pretty impressive dude.

[@ScepticPJ]

@@DPShopTalk Dan, you said it all in that last sentence. Unfortunately that is how our world is going lately. Very sad.

[@danielcarroll1445]

I often see these thumbs down replies and don't understand them either. I think some people click thumbs down to every video they watch. Very negative and unnecessary.

[@organize1979]

I always thought I was the only one who would write something like 23 1/4 (-1/32) on my cut list. But you’re right, it’s faster and easier that way. I like the style of your video. It’s concise and easy to understand!!

[@uhN0id]

Easily the best video on this topic. So many videos skip the important details for measuring the width of the drawer which for me is the hardest part to get right with my project (doing the same thing of adding pull out shelves in my island). Thank you!

[@billflyyeung3954]

Sir. Your work shop is cleaner than my living room. Your dress up above my church going wear Thanks for the top notch video

[@NorthWalesCampers]

What a great tip. I'll surprise the wife with these. She'll love them. Saves her struggling to reach at the back of the cabinet.👍🏻👍🏻

[@mybabybookpage]

What a great husband!!

[@LaPauly]

@@mybabybookpage my thoughts! So sweet!

[@santoni58]

Whoever gives thumbs down is a person that does not appreciate or see the difference between paying for this free education or not having this present resource. I am 65 years old, I which we had this information in this format in the 60’s, I would have become a genius 😂. For the haters, my daddy always said, if you ain’t saying something nice keep your opinions to yourself.

[@LadyPurple911]

My husband said, hey, I would love to build those pull out drawers for you but I am not sure how. I said you know me, the research queen. I will figure it out. And then you came along. I just love your presentation. I may not have all of the tools you have but we have some of them. Great job and thank you!

[@scottdoremus4735]

Dan, You have the best shop productions around. I don't know how you do it but, they are just the best. Best teaching personality, detailed and professional production. Keep up the good work and don't change your style.

[@DPShopTalk]

+Scott Doremus thanks very much for the feedback and kind words, very much appreciated!

[@dhblan8591]

Great and detailed video. Doing measurement calculations using metric is so much easier. No dealing with 1/32 or 1/8. Simpler to use cm and mm and all the same. Thank you.

[@jthornberry2]

Wow... Just, WOW! Your thoroughness and attention to detail nearly brought a tear to my eye. I'm really looking forward to watching your other videos!

[@hatemdamra9536]

U sir are a breath of fresh air. Thank you soooooooo much

[@chaplainand1]

Thank you. I appreciate your skill as a crafts-person, problem solver, teacher, and videographer.

[@howardbecdove9780]

I reckon this is the most comprehensive tutorial I've seen on making and retrofitting kitchen drawers. I'm saving this one for future reference. Brilliant idea, on how not to get confused in the final figure, by deducting the 32nd afterwards. However, had to lol - unnecessary and far simpler in metric. Yes, to further tutorials.

[@DPShopTalk]

+howard dove Yeah for things like this metric would be simpler. I use metric for some hardware installs but still build most things in imperial.

[@armedmariner]

I’ve watched several example videos for pull out shelves. This one is the most comprehensive and best tutorial. Much thanks.

[@davidabineri908]

Yes, Let's see more how-to explanations and demonstrations, you videos are very well done and also complete in their detail.

[@markwatkins2963]

Thanks babe, now I’m officially a pull out king! Still working on the full extension

[@sringer62]

One of the best, clearest, and detailed tutorials I have seen on-line. Thanks!

[@DPShopTalk]

+sringer62 thanks, glad you found it helpful!

[@ldwithrow08]

I like to make the rails across the back a little higher to keep things from falling off the back of the shelf.

[@photojournalist1194]

Good idea.

[@madaboutlife7592]

This is a job I need to do and feel much better tackling it now that I've seen your video. Clear, concise, you speak well, and dish out pertinent facts without waffling through the topic. A very big thumbs up from me.

[@DPShopTalk]

Thanks very much! Glad to hear that you found the video helpful.

[@jk082707933]

Thank you, your videos​ are concise, your work is clean and accurate. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@GordonBaird]

Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful video, Dan. Using your steps I was able to retrofit a poorly laid-out cupboard to instead be much more useful thanks to pull-out shelves. While mine were rather significantly more 'aesthetically challenged' than yours (thanks to inexperience and a more limited tool set), this video was the key to helping me complete my project. Appreciate it!

[@grannywarrior]

Excellent. You start with the basics and point out the things diy people might not think about, like the cabinet facing. An outstanding tutorial.

[@FreakyFraser1]

Video saved and the planning begins. I finally know how to organize my disaster of a pantry. Thank you.

[@fernandomedeiros871]

I always enjoy watching your videos . You're a real pro. Very informative and educational. Well Done !

[@johngrannan]

Great video again Dan. Width formula obvious when you think about it, but seeing it explicitly shown like this just adds to your confidence when doing jobs like this. Thanks!

[@AlainFaubert-ut9rx]

Best instructional video I've watched in a long time. Thank you for that.

[@Chatillgbt]

loved it! You've explained the whole process so well that it left me feeling super confident!

[@susanpeterson9558]

I have been putting off this part of my kitchen remodeling. This was the BEST video. Love the width formula. This is really going to help me finally finish my cabinets. ❤😊

[@Calipso0007]

This was the best tutorial video I've seen on You Tube. Very professionally done. Thank you, just the encouragement,t with a fantastic tutorial, that I need to start my project.

[@amberswartz3876]

Thank you for also posting a link to the sliders you used! This video is very helpful! Thank you for walking us through the process! My husband and I have an old house with a 1960s kitchen. Our Cabinets are outdated, but still rock solid. This will help us to add some updated storage!

[@lkenady52]

Best instructions I have seen. Thank you so much as I need to build this in my cabinets. I will have your instructions playing as I construct!

[@jeffreyblichtman409]

The best video on this topic that I have seen.

[@stephaniepankiewicz645]

This is an excellent video- I especially appreciated the help with measuring correct lengths for the drawer itself. I would love more how to videos- Keep them coming!

[@DPShopTalk]

+Stephanie Pankiewicz thanks! Glad you found it helpful.

[@paytonjohnson660]

Thanks for the step by step video. My wife’s been asking me to do this in her (our) kitchen.

[@venderitso1929]

Very nice and fluent voice I'm glad that you share this type of setting of drawers i love that...

[@shopart1488]

To save some screws and holes I use solid maple rails with 1/4” dado to accept shelf bottom which is also 1/4” maple plywood. I do not glue bottom to rails I leave it floating. I have shelves filled with over 35# of can goods and still holding strong. For finish I use a commercial sealer and spray finish as we have a commercial wood working shop.

[@billedis5482]

When I build base cabinets I use only drawers with full or overextension guides. Eliminates the need to open and close doors to retrieve items from the shelves. Of course I realize this is an after install situation. Thanks for your informative videos. Bill

[@DPShopTalk]

+Bill Edis drawers are definitely nice to avoid having to open doors first.

[@karencurtis2697]

KZbin recommended it always makes great choices just when I'm thinking how to try a new project, going to try a small cupboard first for my pan lids and smaller pans . Subscribed and looking forward to binge watching more. Stay safe stay well

[@shopart1488]

I use solid wood on each rail piece and rabbit a 1/4” slot for a floating 1/4” plywood bottom the latest job I did was 14 pullouts all maple with 2 coats of sprayed clear finish. This makes for extremely strong shelves which will never be susceptible to kitchen moisture. I like to use KV slides. As for the set up for install you are spot on. Nice easy to understand video!!

[@kensfixing7583]

Dan, amazing video and job on the pull out shelves. Thanks for the tips and short cuts to my next project.

[@brentjohnson6654]

New subscriber here. This was very useful for my project in my kitchen. I am retired and am a hobby carpenter more familiar with framing and not cabinet making. I have a couple of lower shelves in my cabinets that need some love. Also am considering asking a DIY hidden corner with slide out. Thanks again for your video. All the best in 2024!

[@BasBleu02]

This video is exceptionally helpful! I'd love to see more how-to videos like this. Thanks so much!

[@kiranrai2785]

Excellent presentation, I have been wanting to do this for a long time, you have made my task so much simpler! Thank you!

Great video! It makes a complex project seem very simple. Thanks for sharing your skills!

[@spicyhot1695]

Excellent video! Dan you are an awesome teacher. Your explanation is crystal clear making it easy for anyone to understand. Thanks for sharing

[@mikes6844]

Hi Dan, thank you for this insight into making and installing these pullouts. Very informative and for me these subjects are pretty spot on. I have installed pre purchased pull outs but yours look more part of the unit. Regards Mike

[@pat9166]

Loved your video, very well organized and meticulous, bring us more

[@jeremytate4795]

I came for pull-outs. I stayed for pull-oouts. Oh Canada. My favorite foreign land!

[@DesandSam]

Nice video, Dan. Well presented and very informative. Keep up the great work.

[@dennykrynicki6]

I enjoyed your descriptive style. Very clear and easy to understand. Look forward to viewing more of your tutorials.

[@DPShopTalk]

Thank you!

[@jeremyhull]

Excellent, clear and well organized video, thanks. I will be adapting the instructions to install shelving for a set of five stereo components (amp, turntable, tuner, cassette player, and cd player) into an existing closed-in cabinet space. My main problem is how to manage the various cords and cables required for the various units. Possibly there is other useful information online that will help me with this. Otherwise you might consider creating a how-to video for something like that.

[@DPShopTalk]

I would say installing cable grommets and conduits would be a practical way to keep everything organized.

[@vickimason2905]

great detailed video, I enjoyed the details, I'm going to make these for a messy pots and pans cabnet.

[@ronaldkirchoff938]
