I absolutely ADORE this project. Instead of spending $300 on a trundle for my son's new bedroom set, I'll just make my own! Thank you very much for sharing. 😊😊😊

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thank you! I’m really glad that you liked the project. It’s brilliant to hear you’re going to make your own too! Your son will love it all the more 😊

[@philiplogan6416]

Nice idea fitting the dowles after the joint screwed together. no worries about lining up holes. nice steel toe cap Nike Air fluffs

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Haha cheers mate! The dowel technique I use keeps things really simple. Ideal if they’re getting painted over anyway. Gonna be making some steel toe cap slippers soon 😉

[@raveloriagmailcom]

Simple indeed,, but I'm sure very useful. Thank you.

[@nabilfreeman]

Wow. Amazing work

[@alygarden7879]

[@xisleprez]

Nice job! Thanks mate.

[@chriskeeble]

Fantastic to see lots of thumbs ups and hardly any idiots doing the thumbs down "thing" for a chance. Great work.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Great video man, love it.

[@putritobing4785]

good project, i wish i have all the equipment to try make my own

[@phil4543]

I’m well impressed with the speed you use a roller mate 🥵 drawers look fab 👍🏼

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Haha I hate painting so the faster I can get it done the better 😂

[@BH-gn6dl]

You make look so east, have just bought some oak bed frames, and was reluctant to use plastic storage boxes. And the draws to buy are expensive. This looks so easy, and with your instructions this will solve the issue. Thank you, great video and links.👍

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Really glad the video has been of help mate. Making stuff is a lot simpler than most people think 😊

[@andrewhunt4532]

That's a good idea I never thought about that thank you for your help appreciate it keep up with the good work

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Andrew! Really glad you liked it 😊 the simple ones are always best haha

Thank you! Glad you liked it 😊

[@itsev6970]

Awesome

[@sandraallen4142]

That looks really easy, I'm going to make some and have used your link for the wheels😊

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Sandra! They're dead simple to make :)

[@TheHayes32]

I've been thinking about making something similar for a little while. Definitely going to use many of your techniques when I do. Thanks.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks mate! They’re dead simple to make. The dowels added after the screws add a lot of strength too.

[@lisaholderness369]

Thx

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Looks good Joe, better than the plastic one's under my bed 👍

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks mate! The plastic ones are handy when you can just buy them off the shelf but they’re never a perfect fit haha

[@Create2make]

Great video, very useful thing to use under the bed. Being on wheels is great.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Paul! The wheels make them a lot easier to access when they’re full of rubbish 😂

[@lindanichols7893]

I need 2 drawers for my ndee my camper sofa, and your instructions are spot on!

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Linda! Glad they’re of help 😊

[@mariomuranaka9751]

Very good idea my friend, congratulations !

Thanks Mario! Glad you liked it mate 😊

Cheers Joe

[@amoyag9202]

Thank you so much. You definitely made it look very easy. I’ll certainly try making my own. Need a set. I’ll also use your link for the wheels.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Great vid mate and so easy to follow . I know what I’ll be doing this weekend lol 👍

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks mate! Really glad to hear its inspired you. Makes for a great weekend project 👌

[@wtabilltaw]

Average Joe's Joinery . I’ll have to add the castors at a later date as I don’t think they’ll arrive in time for completion 🤷‍♂️

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Mine arrived in 3 days but deliveries are slower than usual I think. I wish everything was next day haha

[@wtabilltaw]

Average Joe's Joinery in the perfect world mate . The daft thing is the Amazon dispatch centre is a 10 minute walk up the road but they don’t do collections 😡 so annoying 🤷‍♂️ . Take care mate stay safe. Regards Bill

[@tekintasbas4516]

Good idea

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks! 🙏

[@Kotdt1]

great video

Thanks Danny! Glad you liked it mate

[@davebauerart]

Good project! Perfect amount of explaining why and how to do each step.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Dave! Really glad you liked it 😊

[@terryrobinson3016]

Great video can you tell me where you got your flush cut bit from. 👍

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Good job, must remember to use eggshell paint on mdf

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks mate! Ive got the best results with Egg Shell paint.

[@DebraInVegas]

I had fabulous results with a light hand sand then a couple coats of zinzer 123 spray primer (there's another brand I used, name slips my memory atm) but makes it a very easy and quick task since it's a spray can! I followed up with two coats of my fav colored spray paint and it looks like something I'd buy at the store!

[@annettemccalla1527]

Great video. Easy enough for a grandma. LOL

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Haha Thanks Annette! Really glad you found it helpful :)

[@dennisdouglas6466]

Great like what you just done. I really need something like this. 👍 How about some easy to make chest of drawers for storage space.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Dennis! Glad you liked it mate 🙏 I’ve got a locker storage system planned soon. Not quite a chest of drawers but it’s going to be storage for in my bedroom 😊

[@dennisdouglas6466]

@@AverageJoesJoinery I look forward to seeing you make it. You don't make things sound complicated...

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thank you! I do think the simpler the better haha as long as it looks right in the end, who cares how you got there 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@lisaholderness369]

Did you put in a link for the wheels?

[@Car-67]

will the wheela work on carpet

[@josephinecolumna]

How do you prevent them from going toooo inside the bed.

[@stevecraig6256]

Would it not be better just not painting the front of the drawer, instead of painting then sanding off before attaching fascia, as it will never be seen. Nice to see project videos again 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Steve! I usually add some painters tape where I plan to add glue so I can peel it off but I didn’t have any haha its best to at least paint a small boarder incase you can see the bare mdf from the side. In this instance, that would be almost never though lol so yeah, leaving it bare would save time and effort 😅

[@emilyleake6356]

Love this tutorial but just wondering what size screws you used?

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Emily! I used 30mm x 4mm screws in these as they’re going into the end of the boards. If you’re adding screws to the face of the boards then they will need to be slightly shorter than the board is thick

[@emilyleake6356]

@@AverageJoesJoinery thank you!

[@mikedeman5351]

Nice work, the construction might be simple as you've said, but the finish is very good and the results look professional. I like those castors - never saw side-mounted ones before :)

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Thanks Mike! As long as it does the job simple is often the best way to go haha the side mount wheels are a breeze to fit too

[@MKRM27]

I was wondering how you were going to stop the MDF “end grain” from splitting when you screwed it.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

If you’re having trouble with the MDF splitting then drilling a slightly larger pilot hole can help prevent it 😊

[@Themsbeatlesrock]

yay diy rubbish holders! just what i need.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

It’s what everyone needs! 👌😂

[@woodworks3585]

Nice job mate. It came out well. Good use of tools and the filming was excellent as always . Take care out there mate with all this Covid-19. Be safe....

[@tracyricker4576]

aah you from hoodesville?

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Where?

[@ronaldthornton8370]

If using MDF, dowels and glue work better than screws. There isn't anything for screw threads to bite into.

[@stevehunter8444]

Oops. I used mostly screws on 1/4 and 1/2-inch MDF, and it seems fine. I'l report back if it flies apart. Good to know for next time.

[@dalemoskalyk1227]

Figure if I put my bed six feet up, buy a california king mattress. Might be able to fit all my junk under/in lol. Seriously though bud, everyone could do with this..great vid. This ones very long. So one day there is this fly flying over a pond. But while the fly was flying over the pond, there was a fish watching the fly and the fish said "well s#@t, if that fly would just come down a little bit more, I could jump out and get the fly because I'm hungry". But while the fish was watching the fly, there was a bear watching the fish watching the fly and the bear was like, " well s#$t, if that fly would just come down a little bit more the fish could get the fly, and I could get the fish because I'm hungry". But while the bear was watching the fish watching the fly, there was a hunter watching the bear watching the fish watching the fly and the hunter was like, "well s#$t, if that fly would just come down a little bit more, the fish could get the fly, the bear could get the fish and I could get the bear because I'm hungry". But while the hunter was watching the bear watching the fish watching the fly, there was a squirrel watching the hunter watching the bear watching the fish watching the fly and the squirrel was like, " well s#$t, if that fly would just come down a little bit more, the fish could get the fly, the bear could get the fish, the hunter could get the bear and I could go get his sandwich because I'm hungry". But while the squirrel was watching the hunter watching the bear watching the fish watching the fly, there was a cat watching the squirrel watching the hunter watching the bear watching the fish watching the fly and the cat was like, "well s#$t, if that fly would just come down a little bit more, the fish could get the fly, the bear could get the fish, the hunter could get the bear, the squirrel could get his sandwich and I could get the squirrel because I'm hungry". Anyway, the fly comes down, right? The fish gets the fly, the bear gets the fish, the hunter gets the bear, the squirrel gets the sandwich, and while the cat was trying to get the squirrel, the branch in the tree breaks and the cat comes crashing into the water. Do you know what the moral of this story is? When the fly comes down, the pussy gets wet.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Lmao so true. Think I’d need my bed on the roof to fit all my stuff under 🤣 really glad you liked the video mate 💪 hope you’re well!

[@Benmeglei1]

TIP: let the mdf off gas for a while before putting it under the bed you sleep.
