Making Drawers or Trays
Drawers take a lot of abuse, so it’s important that they’re solidly built. The trays you’ll learn to build for this project are very robust. Working with full-extension drawer slides means getting the drawer box exactly the right size. Jimmy has great tricks that’ll help you with this and avoid measuring. Installing the slides correctly is critical and, again, Jimmy has a smart approach to making this easy.
Project Design
With multiple pull-out trays this is a versatile cabinet that can be used anywhere. It’ll provide a lot of excellent storage in your shop, laundry room, game room, office, etc. Careful attention was paid to creating the doors. With planning the grain runs continuously from left to right and looks amazing. The cabinet has four distinct feet thanks to the curve that’s cut into the face frame and case sides.
