ABOUT ME I grew up in a cabinet shop and was born to be a woodworker. In the past few years when work slowed in the custom cabinet industry, I converted a few friends Vans and SUV's so they had more storage for adventuring, work, or just the weekend beach getaway. Before I knew it I had my own business making people's ideas come to life. I design and build all kinds of custom woodwork and vehicles here at my shop in Huntington Beach, California!

Wow. I wish I had watched this before installing the slides and drawers on the build I’m working on (I bought your plans). I definitely did not know that these slides disconnected. Let’s just say it took me some trial and error and much more work than it needed to. 😅

@tonyshortell6379 3 года назад

hi very good and exxplained well videos, just one observation, the drawer runner fixed to the carcass shoud be screwed in the cutout section this allows 1mm to 2mm clearance if boxes are slightly to big i normally justbend them out slightly and alighnment will be achieved after a couple of full opening aand closing it does help especially if a diy is watching keep up the good work regards tony

@FSUvinny 3 года назад

I am stuck on my van build. I bought some heavy duty drawer slides just like these for my pull out dining table. I am seeing that on each side there's those two little pieces of metal that are protruding out, seemingly like some sort of intentional blockage for the runner (a place to end?). Is that where I need to end my cut of wood? As of right now, my table sticks out that extra 10 inches, even though we ordered an 850mm drawer slide. We cut our oak to that, 850mm. I hope I've given you enough information. I appreciate your knowledge !!

@malcolmscantlebury7795 3 года назад

Great vid. When you build the inner box how much space do you leave on each side to accomodate for the width of the drawer slides? Ex. If the big box is 50cm wide how wide would you make the inner box?

@SolidWoodWorx 3 года назад

1 1/16” less

Always enjoy your videos and innovative solutions for organized storage, great stuff. Is there an easy way of determining the width (measurement) of the slide in part of the box in order to match up the outer slides other than subtracting the width of the two slides for the inner measurement , if this makes any sense ? Ha..............thanks

Do the screws come with the drawer slides? If not, what type, size and length screw are you using? Do you stagger the screws holding the slides to the center divider between the drawers?...looks like they would line up and collide with each other if they are not staggered.

Hey Brian 1 quick question can the sliders be placed on the top of drawer so the cabinet would have no bottom so I can excess the spare tire compartment in my vehicle. I currently have one drawer and a pull out table with some open storage space next to the drawer that slides on a 4 piece tire compartment cover to excess my forester right now. Thanks love watching your work. Keep the videos coming

@SolidWoodWorx 3 года назад

I don’t quite follow your build. But yes the slides can be mounted higher up the side of the drawer box.

@taylore2470 2 года назад

Can you mount two drawers side-by-side, sharing the same 3/4" center support? I was curious because if the holes are in the same spot for the slides, then you would have a conflict in the sex bolt location. Maybe there isn't any issue with having two drawers side by side.

@SolidWoodWorx 2 года назад

Yes that is what i do, the other slide can be mounted at the same time with the same bolt.

@thuanvu1539 3 года назад

How did you decide to mark it 3/4” up on the drawers?

@SolidWoodWorx 3 года назад

Gives you room under the drawer to not slide on the box bottom.

Hi, can I please ask a question? My drawer outer body/platform can only be 79cm long. Will 75cm drawer slides be okay to use?

Hello the length the slides say are usually exact. If they have a locking tab it is usually 1.25" longer than the said length.

@hartgreen 2 года назад

How wide would you go on a drawer? I was thinking of doing a 40 inch wide as apposed to 2 narrower drawers. But I’m worried it would sag. Any thoughts on that?

@SolidWoodWorx 2 года назад

I would personally no go that wide if you plan on it sliding out further than 30" or so. Also with a drawer that wide it might not slide back in that easy.

I'm assuming it doesn't mater what the opening is and the reveal on the drawer fronts? I have a 4.5 drawer front and a 4in frame opening?

@SolidWoodWorx Год назад

It 100% matters what space you have. The drawer slides alone need 3/4" of space on each side. So if you have a 10" opening for example your drawer box width would be 8.5".

@pbj6303 2 года назад

You said 3/4's of the way up on the drawer. You mean 3/4 of an inch right?

Correct 3/4"

@q3interactive665 3 года назад

Loved that you shared this. If I were in Cali I'd run to you to have you build my 4RUNNER Box. Trying to work on mine. Where/how do you attach or anchor the box to the floor of the 4Runner? Do you drill through the bottom and self-tap to the floor? Also, if I want deeper drawers and match the height of the wheel wells It looks like I'd want the box to be 10" high vs 8.5". Do you foresee any problems with that thinking I may run into?

@SolidWoodWorx 3 года назад

I use this hardware kit bit.ly/31qUcGk to attach the 4runner to the 4runner without having to make any more hole. As for making the drawer box taller, you would need to make it shorter in length from front to back because of the angle the 2nd row seat has, if that makes sense.
