    Cabinet Doors and Drawer Fronts

    I am building some cabinets for my new house. I want to build the boxes (saving money) and buy the doors and drawer fronts (saving time). Have any of you used the Hardwood Store of NC. Are their doors dimensioned correctly? Are they square? Are they smooth or should I purchase two new sanders...

    Drawer sliders, joinery, well a little bit of everything!

    I want to build something like this for my next project: Since the litterbox will be heavy, I want some heavy-duty undermount drawer slides. Any recommendations on where to get those? I do not want the auto-close or soft-stop, just some very high quality, durable slides. This design is a...

    New rule for cutting drawer fronts

    We are all veterans of the golden rule of "measure twice to cut once". I have now discoverd a new cutting rule. When cutting solid cherry drawer fronts for a drawer which is 8 3/4" deep, always used the 3/4 mark that is to the left of the number 8. If you use the one to the right of the 8 you...

    short drawer runners

    Anybody out there know of some nice drawer slides (undermount preferably) that will fit into a cab that has only 12 1/4" inside dim? Most seem to require just a touch more length. The drawer is fairly heavy so jewelery box or other light weight runners won't do the job. Think 12 x 12 x 5 with...

    Please help with new drawer slides

    I am trying to install new slides in existing kitchen cabinets, face frame. The drawers are 19" (back of face to back of drawer). The cabinet is 23" from the front of the face to the existing blocks that are holding the existing slides. I purchased 19" slides so I am about 4" short on the...

    Drawer slides

    I am building some draws to hold CD/DVDs and I originally thought when I drew up the plans that the draws would be ok with just some wax on the draw bottom and no slide hardware. I have now constructed the draws and they are bigger in real life then in my drawing :) So now I'm considering...

    Question on mortise size for dresser drawer rails

    Just want to make sure I am not missing something. I am making a Shaker style dresser. The drawer rails are 3/4" thick. Based on the plans the mortise for the rails should be 5/8" x 3/4". It seems to me a 1/2" x 1/2" mortise would allow for shoulders on all 4 sides of the tenon. The shoulders...

    Simple drawer joint

    I would like to make a small nest of drawers. Nothing fancy, more for parts/junk than for "furniture". Drawers would be about 6" square, 2-1/2" deep. I'm wondering about what I might use for a simple, strong joint for fastening the drawer fronts to the sides. Emphasis on...

    Drawer Material ????

    When constructing drawers where the front is secured to the sides with a drawer lock, rabbet or HB dovetail joint I often see the sides and backs being constructed out of poplar; when the drawer front was some other hardwood (cherry, oak, walnut etc.). Is there any particular reason why poplar...

    Another how to ?: Drawer stops

    I made a small cabinet that will hang on the wall. It is only about 7" thick and has two drawers on the bottom of the unit that will only be about 5 1/2 deep. I was planning on installing hardwood runners on the inside of the drawer opening and then routing a groove on the sides of the drawer...

    drawer construction question

    With the cost of poplar I am looking at plywood for drawer construction. I have 1/2" and 3/4" available. Which would you guys and girls suggest I use? Lorraine

    Drawer Slides Source

    Anyone have a good source for quality drawer slides? I may have asked this before, but am just getting around to actually picking up some. They are just for shop cabs, but I am pretty sure I can get a quality slide elsewhere for what the borg wants for the cheap ones.

    7 Drawer Cherry Chest

    I have no idea how long it took but I would have to sell it for $3,000 to get my material cost plus mininum wage for my time. How does Norm Abram have time to make prototypes?

    Flattening Drawer Fronts (How Flat???)

    Still bumping along on the closet project for the wife. I have all of the chest of drawers construction complete except for the drawer fronts. There are 16 of these puppies and they range in size from 10"x27" to 8"x18". (See Pic below for scale.) So after gluing up the soft maple fronts I...

    Drawer Construction question

    I have another concern about drawer construction. What thickness should I use for the plywood bottoms. A little worried about the bottom sagging given the width of the drawers and the weight of clothes. Should I consider some type of support in the center of drawer underneath the plywood. Was...

    7 Drawer Chest

    This is a cherry 7 drawer chest (it will have a mirror as well) that is in process. This is my second chest of drawers and the first with dovetails and half blinds. I am getting somewhat tired of cherry and am looking forward to a mahogany dining set for the kitchen.
