Diy drawer inside a drawer.

The last step to complete the diy drawer box is to add the bottom. This step is very easy you just measure the drawer width and depth which should match your earlier measurements then cut a 1 4 plywood panel to size. Using a tape measure and a pencil make two marks 4 inches from the ends of the board and centered on its width. I was constantly digging through junk and could never find what i was looking for in the tangle of whisks and tongs and spatulas.

Using a drill driver create two pilot holes. Place the 1 6 drawer face on the work surface with the pocket holes facing down. I am so thrilled with how much better my kitchen drawers look. They drove me crazy when they were a jumbled mess.

Glue and nail a plywood base cut to size of the drawer box. Once the cabinet is in place remove the big drawer take off the front cut the draw down to the depth you want it install the other drawers above it as close as you d like put the face back on the bottom drawer and you re good to go. If you are handy and willing to diy order one drawer the depth you want with a face then order extra shallower drawers with out face panels. Use a corner assembly square for this or a corner clamp.

Attach the drawer slides to the drawer box and the cabinet frame. Drill the drawer face holes. This is the drawer box base. If your drawer is a hair too big or small these slides won t glide.

They re fussy to install. Smaller than you need. Make drawer boxes about 1 32 in. It s a lot harder to deal with a drawer that s too wide.
