Diy drawer inside a drawer.

Attach the drawer slides to the drawer box and the cabinet frame. Use a corner assembly square for this or a corner clamp. I am so thrilled with how much better my kitchen drawers look. 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.

Put a bead of glue around the bottom edge of the drawer box don t need a ton just a small bead. I was constantly digging through junk and could never find what i was looking for in the tangle of whisks and tongs and spatulas. This is the drawer box base. 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.

Make drawer boxes about 1 32 in. The last step to complete the diy drawer box is to add the bottom. It s a lot harder to deal with a drawer that s too wide. Using a tape measure and a pencil make two marks 4 inches from the ends of the board and centered on its width.

Smaller than you need. Build the drawer box using wood glue and 1 pocket hole screws keeping all the sides square. Place the 1 6 drawer face on the work surface with the pocket holes facing down. Glue and nail a plywood base cut to size of the drawer box.

Drill the drawer face holes. 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. They drove me crazy when they were a jumbled mess. Using a drill driver create two pilot holes.
