Cabinet Drawers Made Easy || Build Furniture The Easy Way 

I really appreciate the amount of detail you put into your teaching woodworking.

I've watched your original "How to build Cabinets" video series countless times. It gave me the confidence to build my own kitchen cabinets, which are now installed and came out pretty damn good. Thanks for putting out videos that are not only informative, but entertaining.

I knew when I woke up early on a Saturday it was for a reason! Watching the sun rise while I’m watching drawers being built. Great video

Fun tip I learned when using a brander, if you damp the spot you're going to brand first you get a really crisp line.

I love your videos, I'm doing all the cabinets (kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, ect) for my parents house they are getting built. I did all the cabinets for my loft I built, and watching your videos gives me more confidence to try other projects.

Oh man...that Walnut drawer...drooling over here 🤣

I've been following your Channel for mad long and you never failed to make me laugh at every intro you do LOL. Happy New Year Bourbon Moth you are my favorite woodworking channel, I learned a lot from you so thank you for all the hard work you and your team put into making them Vids.

Came for the easy drawer tutorial, stayed for the more elegant drawers. Thank you for all of the great information and ideas!

I've been watching with interest for a long time now. Your mixture of cool work and humour appeals to me. Happy New Year to yourself and your family, Jason.

Man, I’m glad I watched this until the end. This last advice on the tourniquet is probably the best one I ever heard. I never thought about this. I’m gonna order some right away.

"....I branded the top of your table. Deal with it !!" I LMAO when you said that. Personally, I have used the screw and plug method a number of times on drawer construction. Like you, I love the way it looks.

I've held off on building drawers for anything other than inexpensive shop storage projects for too long. I don't know why but I've had a hesitation about them for my higher end projects. I want to thank you for this video as after watching it last week I took on my first drawer project. I'm pleased to say the drawers I built based off of your ideas worked perfectly. As I went to install each of the six drawers into the cabinets I kept expecting to encounter an issue that would need to be addressed. I'm pleased to say they all went in without any issues. Thanks again for this video and all the others that explain and inspire us to go out and build something.

Congratulations on passing 1.0M subscribers Jason

I've made drawers with different types of joinery. I even did some with biscuits when I bought a biscuit jointer and was using it for everything. It actually worked pretty well as i did what Jason did and made sure the biscuit was like the brads or screws and couldn't "pull out" as one opened the drawer. I will be making a set of his hanging end tables next and was going to dovetail the drawers (which I love the look of but wasn't up to the labor part) so think I will try the box joint method. Thanks as always! I appreciate all that you share!

So, here I am getting ready to build kitchen cabinets with both doors and drawers. I did the same thing back in 2008, which are still working fine. This time however, my next new kitchen cabinets are in our second home in the Philippines. And with a lot fewer power tools! Small job sit table saw, hand electric planer, router, and if I am lucky I will pick up a spiral head thickness planer. I needed to see this video again!

Just brilliant. You make this presentation so clear and enjoyable to watch. Thank you 😊

Love your shtick and projects. Hope you and your lovely family has a joyous and healthy new year! 🎉

A great year of watching your builds....happy 2024 from the UK 🇬🇧

Thank you for a great primer on drawer construction and the additional tips and tricks on design. Thank you!

Thanks Jason. Timely for me. I previously have done half dove tails and just before Christmas cut out drawers with baltic birch to make them the way you have. Only difference I am going to put these together with brad nails and glue since I have them already cut out. Hopefully they will hold for a while. They are drawers I built for the cabinet under my bench top drill press.

Great to see a how to video. I know you have been busy so I appreciate you taking the time for this video. Thank you.

Thanks for your videos and sharing your knowledge. Retiring from 40yrs in the metal trade in February. Going to start making stuff from metal and wood. Just got my wood shop set up and can't wait to get started! 👍

Love Saturday mornings!

It was fantastic ! Thank you Jason.

HI Jason, I hope you had a great Christmas and a great year, and seeing how it's December 30, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Thank You for all the incredible wood working videos you post. I have always loved building, strangely I never have built structures for a living, but have worked in theatre and prop making and find the information you give in your videos valuable in so many ways. I hope to in the next few years build a tiny home and will be using a lot of what I have learned from your videos at that time, so if you one day get a huge order for all the different tools you sell through your site, that might be the reason why. I would love to have them now but don't have a space to work in or keep the tools and am down to a basic tool cabinet on wheels that I can roll around anywhere inside to be handy for whatever it is that I'm working on. Thanks for the incredible, humorous, non stuffy, videos you produce. Your humour really brings each piece you work on to life and makes what most people make boring with overly explaining the processes into a very enjoyable experience that I look forward to each video you post. Maybe when the day comes to build the tiny house I could have you come to help and teach me more detailed cabinetry work, and you can have a small series of videos of the work we would do together. Keep Yourself and family Safe, and to You and All of Your Family, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Matt - Toronto, Canada

HNY, brother. Thank you for making woodworking fun and intuitive. You’re a class act. Cheers from Brooklyn, NY.

Wish I would have seen this video last week, would have saved a lot of frustration

I am getting ready to make cabinets for the kitchen and this was just what I needed to help me with it!! I've never done this before, so this should be interesting....

Happy new year! Thanks for an amazing year of videos

Happy New year! My wife and I look forward to watching your videos every week. They are the one woodworking video I’m not allowed to watch by myself 😂

Happy New Year to you and your family, so happy to have a video from you today!!

Great video! The quarter-quarter-quarter is another method for super fast, good looking drawers.

I've struggled making a few draws in the past. After using your method, it was actually fun. It was easy and came out great. Always watch your videos, and I'm a big Bourbon fan too. Liked your drink videos also. Big fan

I'll probably never get around to buying all the required tools to do these cool projects (I'm 68 years old) but I come here anyway and watch your videos because you're not only an immaculately skilled craftsman and artisan...you're FUNNY AS HELL! Much appreciated.

I live for my Saturday morning Jason diving across the table intros.

Thanks Jason! Happy New Year to you, your family, friends and loved ones! 🥃🥃🥃

I glue and screw but when the glue dries I take out the screws, drill holes, and add dowels. only takes a few minutes

I never get tired of the classic dive and slide over the hood... uhm, work table. I plan on making a giant work space just to do this very thing when I retire and get a bigger work space. #1 on my list. Fkn hilarious bro. Great content and info for a beginner like me. I was told to start with boxes big and small. plan on adding storage to my side of the garage.

The HarborFreight sign on the saw cracks me up every time!

What an awesome workshop.

Thank you for exposing your glorious drawers.

I am nee to woodworking, this is the first of your vids i have seen. I look forward to my new drawers!

You got 'like' instantly as soon as I saw inro slide over the bench 😂

Your methods and equipment are very high quality, your methods are worth emulating 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🖐️🙏

Thank you for the 4 methods. I really like the plug version

Very helpful, thanks for the entertaining education!

I do something like the last option except I pin it with dowels instead of screws and plugs. And I cut rabbets into the side pieces to make alignment and glue up easier. And I don’t cut the groove off the back as I like to glue the panel in (assuming it’s plywood).

"You should be able to take your fingers and run them along the blade on each side and not feel any resistance...or see any blood." 😁 This is why we watch: for pearls of Wisdom like this!

Have a great New Year!!!

Great video as always Jason. Happy New Years to you and your family 🎊🍾🍻🎉

You're the reason I started my latest project which is by far the most woodworking I've ever done. Should be posting part 2 (the drawer build) very soon been busy the last month. Even though you the fancy shop you still break down the build and make it very easy to follow. 🙏 Thanks bunches.

Thank you for the clear explanations

Great video, glad you explained about going bottomless. I must say I much prefer the plugged version in terms of looks.

Very Cool. Happy New Year’s !!!🍻

Happy New year 🎉

Love your videos! There’s lots of inspiration for things I want to do in my own shop and you make it so approachable. Only thing I would add is a pinned rabbet style of drawer. It would be a touch more work than the last version but overall on the same skill level as that one. The screws basically take the place of the dowel, but adding the rabbet to the side panels gives an even fancier look to the joinery at the corners.

Love it. Instead of screws, I would be lazier and, after assembling the hardwood drawers, I would drill holes and insert dowels with a bit of glue. Strong like screws and attractive like plugs with great steps. Fantastic channel!

Artist of wood 👍

Great video! Really like that last method…will use it for sure👍🏻😎

I always round the top edges of the drawer...adds to the classy look and is very hand friendly.

You make really great instructional videos :) Thx

Always nice work !!

Happy new year

Great detailed video.

You had me at the Evel Knievel intro slide. Subscribed for life, take my money.

Great video, as always.

Great job!

Thank you for sharing, I learned a lot

Thanks .. fantastic video!

Well done. Very interesting

That's a nice one! I'll try to use this technique for my creations as well! well done 🙂

I freakin love your videos!!!! I’m branding the tops of tables from now on, though. DEAL WITH IT 🤣😂

I get goose bumps just thinking about BALTIC BIRCH PLYWOOD. You do the slide and fall, I'm at the point in life that I have to be very careful that I leave out the slide and just go to the fall.

I like the removable bottom, makes repairs easy if it cracks.

I like the last method with the screws & plugs, but if you are going to do plugs on top of screws anyway, you might just consider doing post-assembly dowels that go through the face board into the side board, then use glue & dowel rods to complete the joint. It will be just as strong as the screws, if not stronger, and honestly I think it might be faster than using forstner, drilling, screwing, cutting plugs, and then gluing and sanding. You would basically just assemble the box, drill the dowel holes, glue the dowel in, and flush-cut the dowel. Boom.

How did you know that I was frantically looking for your HowToBuildDresser videos yesterday. Good man, getting a new one out as I was just about to start building.

You said “High Time”! Hells Yes!

Great! Thank you.

I like it. Looks good 😊

The multi color is a great drawer.

Youre a trip man keep it up!

Ya, the screw and plug method is my favorite. Sometimes I gotta break out the dove tail jig though.

man, I really love your videos, wish I was half as good as you. You make it look so freaking easy.

I can't wait for an airstream update video!!!!

Dude, you make me want to strategically place pies around your shop for you to slide into lol. I make drawer bottoms this way myself. I can't remember when I learned to do it that way, but it makes assembly and finishing a lot easier. A lot of antique drawers use the same method.

I like the last method. I’m going to try it using dowels instead of screws.

GOOD STUFF

Great video👍

Hey Jason, speaking of ADD, it’s Pete! Got the ADD Cameo Christmas morning. Thanks man! Got a good laugh at that. Of all the things, wasn’t expecting that at all. Keep on keeping on. You rock! Great timing too on this vid topic, just about to head down and build the drawers for one of my workbenches.

Very nice doing. I like it and easy. I whish you a happy new year.

I love that I found your video on drawers. Lots of good information here that I can use. I have a desk I picked up for free99 and it only had two of the bottom drawers. It’s a solid desk probably made in the 40s 50s maybe, looking at the (art deco possibly) drawer pulls. I am looking at replacing/replicating two large bottom drawers and two shallow drawers. I have basic wood skills and limited tools so it could be a bit while I learn the skills but I am determined. I want a nice desk for my serger. I plan on putting cone thread in the big drawers and other stuff like scissors and stuff in the shallow ones or one, I’m thinking of taking out the top drawer support and making it one deeper drawer because they both look pretty shallow judging by the openings. Also thinking of putting wheels under it to make it easy to move to clean under and to raise it up a bit. 🤭 have to flip it over to clean it so I will check to see if I can. That little puppy is heavy and solid and short 🤔 I put a chair up to it and the seat of the chair is even with the bottom drawer support. Forgot to check the legs when I shoved it into my jeep and when I took it in the house. Also thinking of putting a hinged table extension on the back, have to figure out the leg support for that too but that could be far into the future. Need drawers first.

Found your channel a few weeks ago and really liked the last option your showed. Building a Dresser now and used the dowel look. Reaching out to see if you have a video on side cabinet slides or an offer tips. Really struggling with getting one set of slides to line up and work correctly.

Yet another great vid. Well done! And I rewatched the box joint jig video again as well. I need to make drawers for my router table and plan to make your box joint jig to do so. But, what I want to know is this. Where and how do you store your jigs safely and out of the way? I’d love some ideas as they tend to take up space. No one ever really talks about this.

Cheers Jason. I'msipping a Lark cask strength watching this just before midnight on new years eve, Chin Chin.

Convenient that you posted this. I’m replacing cabinet shelves with pullouts for my wife while she visits her parents and relatives. I’m making the sides from leftover hardwood flooring so probably doing something like the last one. Still wondered if you ever used one of those lock joint bits on a router table?

you do a great job i have learned so much from you i don’t watch any body else

Yep A.D.H.D. is challenging to say the least, can't wait to get a table saw after the new year so i can take my game to the next level, currently building a band saw cart.

Brilliant, exactly how I did or kitchen.

OH Man, you've got GREAT drawers. Nuttin better than a man with good lookin drawers! !! !!! Looking forward to the 2K24 vids and thanks for this years postings.

You are one of the best woodworking vloggers I follow because of the quality of your diy projects. But may I suggest that you do something about your work bench table top which needs some restoration work.
