How To Make a Pull Out Pantry | I Like To Make Stuff

[@grampsinsl5232]

Keep cutting wood without a mask and you'll likely end up like my friend at work. He retired, bought some acres, built a big shop full of tools, and started pursuing his lifelong love of woodworking full-time. 5 years later he was dead from pulmonary fibrosis caused by breathing in fine particulate wood dust. Mask up and live!

you walk into a pantry, not pull it out, this is a waste of time and money

[@syncRamon]

a small suggestion: i would also cover the left side of the cabinet where the wheels are as well. like between the wheels and the fridge. flush with the edge of the toe-kick. that way your feet cannot get stuck between the toe-kick and the fridge by acident such a beautiful projekt! i would love to one day have a house on my own and build this one as well :D

[@MrNkubitz]

I agree just add a kick that goes in so its all covered as well. Also add support from tipping to far on that side. Can put felt on the bottom too to protect floor if it ever goes too low.

[@syncRamon]

@@MrNkubitz great addition!

[@johnmorphew4859]

That would also prevent the cat from running back there and getting smooshed.

[@MrMaltavius]

I love the honesty and transparency, it’s a great way to teach when projects don’t go smoothly all the time and you have to find solutions. The fact that you don’t lose your mind every time something goes wrong is incredible, my husband would be losing his mind and end up breaking what he was building 😂 I think you should be able to at least curse, just bleep it, it’ll be so funny 😆

[@allendana9601]

I used your idea for a pull out cabinet and created a secret liquor cabinet in my bar area. The tip about putting castors is what made this project a reality. I also included some LED strips on each shelf. When you pull the cabinet open all shelves light up from the bottom of the bottles, a very cool affect. Thank you for your inspiration and tips.

[@tdeland]

Definitely a great solution for an awkward sized space! For anyone looking to do something similar, Fulterer makes pantry slides that attach to the top and bottom of the drawer and are rated for higher loads than typical under-mount slides (up to 450lbs). I just installed two pullouts side-by-side in a large pantry and am very happy with how smooth they operate despite being loaded with cans and other heavy items.

[@templeghg]

Can you share a link to the ones you use ?

[@sarahhancock848]

That is really cool! I love ideas on how to organize awkward spaces. And you're so patient with yourself as you have to keep re-trying things. Great example to me of a creator!

[@Codeaholic1]

Two things: I think you should extend the toe kick around the side to hide the wheels when the cabinet is extended. And if you find the unit drifts side to side add wooden strips on either side of the wheels as guides.

[@graeszilajonathan283]

@@@@

[@TigerCarpenter]

very nice design and function since you already have power in it, you can add LED strip inside that turns on as you pull it out, so that you can grab stuff in the darkness. just like the fridge light. and don;t tell your Mrs abut the lights, and record her as she DISCOVERS THE LIGHT

[@JonAthan-ln2wn]

I love that you have all of the tiny mistakes also in the final video. That is so relatable!

[@JonathanRansom]

I need some of these in my house.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

It wasn't that hard. You can do it!

[@olivier2553]

You could add a sort of toe kick on the side, to hide the wheels when the cabinet is open, that will nicely compliment the project. I think there exists sliders specially designed for this application.

[@ktaragorn]

Beyond that I feel like the current one is a hazard if your legs get too close.. might scratch or hurt it.

[@edymoss3466]

Bravo bob Was looking for a similar idea for a kitchen pantry in my kitchen For me I want to install a similar idea into a area that already exists with plaster walls at the carcass So have to build something into an existing space The ball bearing wheels and the shelf sides on top of the cabinet you did gave me a whole new perspective You see I always thought if slides-on the sides to support the weight-of the cabinet but your idea makes a lot of sense That’s why I love watching you videos and others also You always get to pick up a few new tricks in the process and one always has to have to keep an open mind it’s the only way to progress Thanks a lot Bob Was really great to watch this video

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

What I like the most about this project is that there was no "Master Plan" or Set of Drawings. Seems to me that there was a concept, an idea, AND then it was "let's go build it". Making changes, revisions, improvements along the way. That is how many of us "everyday folk" attack a project. We learn a lot by watching Pro's like you go from concept to finished product and doing so the "Prepared Route", but it is also educational to watch you improvise as a road block hits you. I think this is pull out pantry is going to be a huge success in your kitchen and it's looking really good! Take care and have a good one! 🖐 :D

[@MTBAlex]

Very nice. Changing those slider to the top is now even more beneficial if you need to undo them. Casters is the way to go

[@browngerardU2b]

Handsome cabinet. I appreciate how you humbly share “pulling a Bob” and other ways you have to change gears to make it functional & handsome.

[@TheSteveAS]

We inherited a pull-out pantry with our kitchen, which is our primary food storage area. After living with it for 5 years, I can honestly say I hate it. Hard to get odd shaped food containers in and out. Anything hanging out beyond the edges of the shelf will interfere with closing the cabinet. I plan to replace it with a traditional pantry with open storage in the doors as well. All that said, I do really like your idea to use pull-out storage for cleaning supplies. I think I’ll repurpose those cabinets in our hall closet for that use. Thanks for the inspiration Bob!

[@mattdock7346]

Editing / sound mixing was A+ in this one.

[@clayalexander8625]

Love the toe-kick in front of the casters. Classy.

[@KJR-n5u]

Man, I am glad I came across this. I have a similar space next to my fridge. I actually need to build the cabinet to fit the space, and I have a REV-A-SHELF sliding pantry that I will put inside the space. Just watching this video has given me some good ideas for making what I need. having a visual reference is so valuable. Thank you.

[@sycodog]

As a non handy guy, im always envious of the guys who are. Your house projects are awesome!

[@stephenwgreen78]

Nice. Using the slides as a stop and a little support at the top is a great idea. I was working out plans with skateboard bearings and angle iron mess to support the weight...but this is much simpler. Thanks as always👍

[@robertforsell2056]

Excellent Bob! We did virtually the same thing next to our fridge. Our pullout is accessible from both sides. I ended up using extra heavy duty slides meant to for emergency vehicles (300 lb capacity) on either side…as well as a couple on top just as you did.

[@Luqman899]

I made a full length pull out spice rack like this, turned out great.. tips: dont underestimate the weight of the cupboard, make sure the casters are nice and beefy also dont rely on the rails to carry any weight either. you can hide the casters and anything unsightly by making a mitred box and mounting it to the bottom of the cupboard

[@thecma3]

This is amazing! I've been planning a freestanding organizer for outdoor gear and was planning on making something like this for long things (skis, poles, ice axes, etc.). This is a fantastic reference!

[@subzeromhm84]

Couple others have said the same but I too agree an extra toe kick that wraps on the side of the cabinet would make it look finished and hide the front toe kick. Would also keep things from rolling under and getting stuck. Also great job as always!

[@AurelTristen]

It's always a race to see if I can lower the volume before that "HEYIMBOB" knocks me out of my chair :)

I'm so glad! Go for it!

[@Sidecutter]

There are actually under-mount slides meant for things like this :)

[@johnVidBozo]

Yes! and if you were planning on storing heavy stuff like bowling balls you could add under mount slides upside down on the top. Get rid of those wheels. Just frame the open side like frame and panel w/o the panel to stiffen up that side. Even with the side mount slides you could do top and bottom on both sides.

[@kenn1936]

I would suggest the vacuum goes in the front section (made slimmer of course), and all the storage goes at the back. You will access the vacuum more than you access the other stuff. BUT - it is awesome as it is!! It holds a lot of stuff, and with a normal cabinet, everything would fall out if you were searching for something in particular!!! GREAT JOB!!

[@mikemorton954]

I don't usually why your videos and channels don't have more views. Excellent work Bob!

[@alexparker6506]

Great idea with the vacuum! Even if it’s a tight squeeze to get it out, mounting those Dysons out in the house somewhere can look tacky. Definitely gave me some ideas for mine! I appreciate what you do!

[@kyprossofroniou5312]

Love your job: just a tip (there’s ball bearings telescopic and you can install it on top of your box and you can slide out like feather)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

At that weight capacity, full-extension slides become really expensive.

[@kyprossofroniou5312]

@@Iliketomakestuff yes are expensive in Europe we buy it like $50-$60 per set …. The heavy loads But man…. Believe me they fly …..

[@frankmaggio4328]

This is exactly what I am going to do with my small kitchen. I knocked down the old pantry to open up the space and used the small adjacent closet as the new pantry. 17"Wx27"Dx81"H. Yes it's small but it's only a 1200sf house. Same concept as yours. Going to use birch or similar wood. Im thinking 4 non marring wheels from HF. I just need to find the appropriate sliders to mount on top like you did. Thank you for making this video!!!!

[@palco22]

I want to make a pantry closet so I'm shopping for ideas. I like the idea of a slide out section with caster wheels and that has been noted and will be used. Great ideas. I'm off to a good start. Thanks.

[@darkkevind]

If you screw the last runner on the top further towards the back of the unit, it will slide out further but still be able to be pushed all of the way in. You can see in the last minute where you slide it in, the last runner doesn't go all the way in. That means you have some inches to play with. 👍

[@alans1816]

Looks good! I would bore finger holes in the back near each slide release. As many point out, a toe kick on the cabinet would look good, even though it would necessitate removing more of the bottom of the old cabinet. But that would make it possible to clean.

[@grahamrankin4725]

I made a similar pullout to fill a space between the fridge and pantry closet. Deep enough to hold quart canning jars of goodies from last season's harvest conveniently.

[@WiredWorkshop]

Awesome idea for that small amount of space! That really made the most out of it

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Yes it does!

[@briannehill9769]

In the future I want something like this for my manga. Stretching the span of a wall, maybe with the tv and such in the center with display cases across the top. It looks like a pretty cabinet and BAM tons of books!!

[@Rouverius]

Very cool. Great build. Clever idea to use inline castors to offset the weight. We actually have a smaller version of this. Except it's completely independant and on four castors. It's really helpful in our little kitchen.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's a great idea!

[@takacskaroly1188]

I'm planning at my new house a totally diy kitchen(and bathroom too) restoration and these series giving so much ispirations!

[@ukomdesign]

That is such a great idea I have never thought about putting wheels on the bottom when the cabinet is on sliders. We have skinny bottom cabinet with sliders on top and bottom. I will definitely consider using wheels next time.

[@cvzdez]

I am in love with the drawer

[@HakuginSan]

As soon as I saw the spacers between the wheels and cabinet I was like "Nope, that's not going to go in first try". Really enjoyed watching the quick resolutions to the various issues that popped up.

[@peterjamesfinn]

We've got baskets on rails behind a large door in our pantry, which allows us to open the door (normally) and then pull out the individual basket "shelves" to get at everything on the shelf easily. Makes for much more efficient storage packing.

[@lostandfiend]

love the vacuum solution! so slick

[@raraavis7782]

It's amazing, how much extra storage room those clever draw out cabinets provide. I like the rollers as an alternative to heavy duty drawer slides, actually. Not as fancy, but man, those suckers are expensive. Wouldn't use them, if there was a (probably much) cheaper alternative, either.

[@kirkgolembiewski7220]

Advice from an amateur cabinetmaker with a technical degree: I would recommend leaving the bottom of the cabinet in and using slides top and bottom of the cabinet. I would also recommend doing a return on the toe kick so it looks a little better from the side. Great work man!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

[@Chewie316]

Very nice, Bob. I'd get some felt and attach it to the bottom of the toe kick so you don't scratch up the floor.

[@devonhappe]

The casters were an ingenious solution to the weight problem.

[@Austinadcock]

Also if you are adding wheels on the bottom side of a cabinet like this, use a router if possible to make a track to keep them in line which will make for a smooth pull

[@jwar2163]

Nice upgrade. Have you ever thought of using pocket screws and plugging the pockets with the wood matching plugs, either store purchased of made in the shop? Then use a trim router to route the plugs down flush. I have used that technique a few times when doing built in book cases. stained and non stained finished clear wood. That way you do not have to worry about glue going everywhere.

I'm redoing my laundry room and it's been bugging me to have the mops out in the open, hanging on a wall. I just hung new cabinets today. But I think I have enough space left to move the mops from the wall to a cabinet like this. LOVE this!

[@kerrybromberg5500]

Another approach to this would be to use 4 casters on the bottom (2 fixed, 2 swivel) and use something like a bi-fold door track and wheel or even something heavier duty like a garage door track and wheel (I tend to over-engineer things) at the top. This would give you full range of linear movement in the unit without having to worry about limit on full extension with the drawer glides. An additional fix is to use some of the nylon (like what is used in NFS cutting boards) as a frictionless surface against the inside wall and the back of the cabinet.

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Great use of an awkward space!
