There are a lot of different jigs on the market for mounting drawer slides. The are all based on holding the slide in place where it needs to go and screw it in place. This gives a lot of room for error, because the screw holes are so big and you do not have a lot of room inside the cabinet to...
In remodeling my shop, I was able to pick up some Mahogany cutoffs for a very good price. I was building this miter cart at the moment and figured, why not? Made an 8/4 top with 4/4 drawer fronts to contrast the 8/4 maple paneled frame, and threw it all on 3" casters. Even made a cutout on...
This is a workbench which I made from plans published in the August 2002 issue of Popular Woodworking. The article was called "Power-tool Workbench" as the bench's design was biased toward the use of power, rather than hand, tools. Also, it was made to have a height such that it is used as an...
I had a request from my son and daughter-in-law to build them a platform bed. When it came to selection of wood species they said that they might want something other than maple, since I had previously done their entire kitchen and dining room in maple.
This caused an issue for me, since I had...
Boys and Girls,
While I have often been accused of upper crust toolery, I can sometimes see past my 1 i'd Fe$tool extravagance and conceded to invest in some bargain basement Ryobi batteries.
Unfortunately only Ryobi tools fit those batteries so there was a need to expand my Ryobi empire...
I recently built a new miter saw station out of 2×4s. I left the bottoms open with the intention of adding different storage options underneath and I just finished the first step: building a set of simple drawers under the drill press module so I can store all my bits and various accessories.
I...
Being on COVID furlough gave me time to replace my old MDF laminate computer desk with a slight variation on the Home Office Desk featured in Woodsmith #144. I made the desk a full six foot length to allow for space in the knee-gap for a trash can and shredder.
The four cabinets are made of...
this is abox i made for my son. not so much of a jewelry box as a whatnot box. made from cedar. lots of small mistakes in this box, but i"m thinking he will still use it.
A box just finished, made of walnut and birdseye maple with a homemade ribbon banding. A little on the large size for me, 17"W x 9"D x 7"H. finished with shellac.
My wife wanted some dividers to go in her silverware drawer. I saw it as an opportunity to design and build "the ultimate silverware drawer."
One of the initial problems is we only have 2 drawers in our kitchen. So we try to shove a lot of "stuff" into this drawer. We have certainly used up all...
Laptop / Printer Station - Laptop slides out when in use. Used Blu Motion Hidden Slides. Printer does a great job of countering the weight of the slide.
It is fair to say that the scale got a bit out of hand. Funny how things looks small on the ground. What is another 2 feet here and there…?
12' wobble bridge form the grass to the main fort
600 square feet of playground
2 rock walls out of view, one for each platform
Tire swing is the biggest...
I thought that I could build a simple box with only a few setups. All the solid stock is the same size other than lengths, the dadoes are all pretty much just one setup. Alas, it was a bit more complicated than I had hoped. Makes a nice wastepaper basket however.
IMPORTANT: I found an error in the sketch. The 4mm at the 45° slants have to be 3.6mm (9/64")
If you can give me usual sizes of tools like saw blades and routerbits, i can calculate a plan in inches
Here are the plans of my full extension slides. i hope i could help you a little bit.
All...
Pantry cabinet for our kitchen. Birch plywood case, Aspen rails and stiles on the doors, Birch edging, Spruce pull-outs with Birch plywood bottoms, Bead board back. Turned out pretty good considering there are so many things I've never done before.
Never done before:
Drawer slides
Frame and...
My wife is pregnant with our first child. I wanted to make a dresser and crib for the nursery. After looking at different designs on the market, we decided on an overall line of furniture from Babies R Us. Of course, we customized the number of drawers and overall size and the finish. I...
After watching the Wood Whisperer's video on Torsion Box Assembly Table, I put it on the list of projects to get done. I work in a space-limited 2-car garage, although no cars ever live in there. I was in desperate need of more storage space, and this was the solution. It also doubles as the...
This was my first attempt at a winged bowl. Made from a crotch piece of walnut approximately 14 inches long by 10 inches. There was a void in one end of the bowl top where I inlayed blue crushed rock. It was pretty wild having the wings fly around on the lathe as I turned it. Didnt lose any...
When building the house I drywalled under the stairs leaving 2 large open areas for storage. After about a year of staring at the kinds of stuff collecting under there, I built in these cabinets. The shorter space to the right was to get 2 large storage drawers too, but the dog has homesteaded...
What is a good shim material for side drawer slides. Apparently I have manufactured 4 of my 24 drawers in a sop storage case a little out of tolerance and need to shim under the slide.
I was thinking veneer edging as I want it to be full length of the slide. Any other ideas.
