Make Your Own Drawer Slides

First time making drawer slides for a client antique dresser. Fun times.

Your shop and tools look really used, after watching you do such excellent work with some of your tools not cooperating is really something. Thank you for sharing and I will be watching both the videos not yet seen and any new ones you share.

Appreciate that. I would like a better tablesaw but I need the ability to move the saw easily. Thank you for watching. I do a bit of woodturning, furniture making and laser engraving as well.

"Show me your stop block". I didn't have one until I saw your video. Now I do. Thanks. And yes, been woodworking for a total of a few weeks now. Spending a lot of time focusing on basics - joints, straight edges, um, did I mention straight edges yet? Anyway - love how you show us each step. Thanks again.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Congrats. Man the stop block will help get repeatable cuts. Thanks for watching. Thinking of making something on the lathe for my next video. I would love some opinions!

[@mfrederickson1]

Works for me (pun intended). I'm anxious to learn anything and everything - anything you show will add to everyone's knowledge. You do what you do because you've learned what works for you. I get to benefit from that, so it's all good

@mfrederickson1 cool. What part of the country are.you in? I am in Oklahoma.

[@cabman86]

Dude! Great job! But you need to stop the rocking of the table saw! That's a finger buster!

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Thanks man. You're right. my outfeed table is 2 inches taller than the table saw..i have the table saw sitting on 2 blocks...i need to find a way to keep them in place better. appreciate the watching and comment. thinking of making a lathe project next or a laser project. thoughts?

Run your piece down the table-saw almost to the right depth and somewhere down the middle. Then run it through your router table. It’s a cleaner cut and it won’t kill the router.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Great suggestion. Makes sense. When I make routed dovetails I use a straight bit..then the dovetail bit. Never thought of using the tablesaw but it makes complete sense. Thanks much

[@FunAmbassador]

I have the same router table. I’m kind of used to that.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

​@@FunAmbassadornice. I have a video where I made some inserts for that router table. Seems like the stock ring is too low.

[@FunAmbassador]

@@myhoneyshandmade1077I’ll take a look

[@a9ball1]

Would you mind telling me what kind of feather board that blue one is that you used on the table saw? I have the same saw and can't seem to find one that goes out far enough to do any good.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Sure will. I've been thinking about making my own featherboards for my tablesaw and router table too.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Checked today. It is a Kreg featherboard

[@a9ball1]

​@@myhoneyshandmade1077thanks. I'll be ordering one shortly then! Take care.

[@a9ball1]

It would be nice if you did a video on making a feather board. We could use the hardware from the ones we have now on the made one.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

@@a9ball1 might do that. Stay tuned

[@user-sw4st7vw2h]

Nice work! However, it would have been really helpful to see how these slides work in relation to the drawers.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Thanks much. I didn't have access to the dresser. The client installed the slides that I made for them.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Thanks for watching
