DIY- How to Replace Drawer Bottoms 

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed!

Great job!

I have a serpentine drawer bottom i need to replace help!

Thank you

What kind of wood did you use to relace the boom and thickness?

I have dresser draws with metal slides that slide on wooden rails. The rails are falling apart. I would like to have draws without these rails. Any suggestions? BTW excellent video!

Thanks for the good detailed video. Do you use 1/4" wood?

Great video! What can I do to repair my drawer where the plastic gliders are broken? I can't find the brackets anymore, and I can't find new brackets that fit.

How would you remove the bottom panels if they were glued in instead of nailed in?

Did you trace around the whole outside of the drawer for the new piece or did you use a bottom you had already taken out of the dresser?

thanks!

Could you use cedar as the replacement wood for the lovely scent and moth repellant?? I just love how cedar makes our clothes smell but can’t afford all new dressers.

How do you do this on drawers where a slide needs to come off and go back on?

This is super helpful. I saw a dresser I want to fix up and it has exactly this problem, paper liners and all lol. Do you have any suggestions on how to secure the board on the back of the dresser as well? Thanks.

What is the difference between a mallet and a hammer (besides you can use one end to remove nails on a hammer)? I think I have an orange mallet instead of a hammer. I purchased it over a hammer because I liked the color and it is soft and wrapped inside of like silicone material. I definitely thought it looked better than a wood hammer.

You are so cute! Thanks, you made it look so easy! I hope it’s easy for me! Can I buy the replacement wood at Lowe’s Home improvement ?

How did you know what wood to buy?

Thank you so much for this video, I have some questions, though. When you said "trace" what did you trace? What type of wood did you use? You said one inch nails - finishing nails or flat head nails? I think that's all for now.

the original bottom had marks from sliding in & out. Did you need to make new grooves for the drawer stops/slides or do they happen naturally?

What is the thickness of the wood, I went to Lowe’s & they sold me the 1/4” which is to thick.

why did you glue the joints? They weren't glued before

I wish you would have shown us how you cut the new board

i wish they would jsut make good drawers instead of this particle board bullshit

Use a screw driver.
