How to minimize tear-out on an integrated drawer pull | Crafted by NS Builders

On this short but informative episode of crafted Ken DeCost shows us how to limit the tear-out on an integrated drawer pull. These drawer fronts will be used on a closet built-in for our Weston renovation project. Since this drawer pull will be used daily they had to be comfortable, strong, and aesthetically pleasing. Tune in!

thanks I aspire to work at that level of detail, dedication skill and craftsmanship. Awesome

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Guy guys do stuff at such a high level it’s so awesome!

[@jlehm]

Great look into such a well thought out process!👍👍

[@Samessin06]

Gorgeous

[@johnmoody2365]

Oooo... passing a hand over the saw blade and dado made my toes curl

[@Tom-sd5ru]

Ken lightened up a bit 🤙

[@TheHowtoDad]

yo! you guys are killing it. I love seeing your details. A while back you did a video of a basement that was going to have exposed ply edges, any preview on how that turned out?

[@NSBuilders]

We shared the completed project. AA Design studio

[@TheHowtoDad]

@@NSBuilders perhaps you made the video, but didn't post it?

[@jackgoebel771]

How do you do your edge banding? Solid wood, glued veneer? Like always everything you guys do is awesome. Definitely aspire to work at that level.

[@frankstone2311]

Great detail guys. Solves a problem I was trying to figure out - finger groove without a backer on the carcass. A question though - have you used the same detail for a euro hinge door? I am trying, but can’t find a hinge that doesn’t need a 5ish mm radius (that a Blum 71B3590 would need). Love your details!

[@VK-wo7mw]

Can anyone help me out on where to find that router bit that was being used? @nsbuilders

[@Stop..carry-on]

Shaper = spindle moulded, ive always wondered why us joinery shops don’t have them. They are the backbone of every british shop so much can be done with them

[@flowupdesign]

ALso how did you build the curved doors from that kitchen detail video??

[@zacknicholson9731]

its hard to tell at quick glance if you did or not but it would be next level if you grain matched the horizontal grain of the inside of the pulls. none the less, really nicely done guys!

[@NSBuilders]

Unfortunately not. The original pull design was different and was changed during production process.

[@GenZyannd]

more bloopers please

[@15630scarusrd]

Attention to detail. You have some great clients to pay for that.

[@jonesconrad1]

It's a symbiotic thing, you have to have that attention to detail to get the clients to pay for the attention to detail.

[@jaynimbus1588]

Wow, seems to get this right the first time you have be someone with attention to detail.

[@daversj]

How was the joint made between the oak rip and the MDF before veneer? Gluing to the edge of MDF can be tricky. Were biscuits or dominos used?

[@NSBuilders]

Butt joint clamped and glued. No dominos or biscuits so the pull wouldn't cut into and expose them.

[@EzraGaskin001]

What router bit are you guys using?

[@Drewdoode]

Yes. What was that? A dovetail bit? It looks wider.

[@jonathanmarsalis9051]

First!

[@MAGAMAN]

Imagine all the gunk that will build up in there over time. Disgusting!

[@NSBuilders]

Imagine cleaning it 👌

[@tfilandm]

Yeah. Watched for the third time. Still seems stupid. Clearly, I’m missing something.

[@ianhill5741]

It’s not a dovetail to join with another piece, those are the finished drawer fronts. The dovetail cuts are the drawer pulls, where you stick your fingers to pull open the drawer.

[@jonesconrad1]

@@aayotechnology the video wasn't about the final product, it was about preventing tearout and that's what they showed.

[@tfilandm]

Ian Hill- do the drawers have some kind of spring loaded push latch to make them pop out far enough to get your fingers under? Also, seems like a big reduction of drawer-box depth to achieve minimal effect in service. Impressive minimization of tear-out and lovely grain matching, though.
