Thank you for this, I bought these exact ones for my build. I would have like to see you do the next step as well. What screws did you use to attach the dwar it's to the moving mechanism? And thank you again for this wonderful video. 🌻

1/2" lathe screws. The video on building the drawer for the hidden shower is this one - I like to break up the videos into bite sized chunks where possible ;) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h_h1DYmYcD4.html

My opinion would be just small screws instead of sex bolts on the main track, since the weight of the slides would be resting on the box. Seems to me that too much effort to drill the metal slide holes bigger. Just my thoughts..

Thanks for your input!

funny, I know those fasteners as Chicago screws but you know what they say, sex sells.

@alanformagio7029 9 месяцев назад

Hi, how are you? How do you release the runner to attach it to the actual drawer box. Thanks and keep up the good work

@VanLifeDesigner 5 месяцев назад

The depress the yellow (in my example) button down.

@DuaneRonan 2 года назад

Hi! Just found your video and it's very interesting. Can you direct me to the slides you used? Thanks for the details!

@VanLifeDesigner 2 года назад

In the description. And also here: amzn.to/3JFJHmu

@andrekrausz2407 Год назад

Thanks. Do you show somewhere how to attach the slide to the drawer as well?

@VanLifeDesigner Год назад

No, sorry, but that part is super simple. You simply work out the position that you want your drawer to sit in your cabinet and at what height and then you drill it into place!

@Mikey-Himself Год назад

I found this video because I am looking for 500lb sliders to make my 300lb AV rack in my home theater retractable. Any issues with the advertised weight when fully extended?

@VanLifeDesigner Год назад

None at all!

@Mikey-Himself Год назад

@@VanLifeDesigner Thank you so much for the response. Very helpful video, I wish you safe travels!

@Tracor3k99 2 года назад

What thickness wood did you use for setting a toilet on?

@VanLifeDesigner 2 года назад

Thank you so much Tracor3k99. I hope my videos are helpful. The drawer box is made out of 1/2" birch plywood. It then has a waterproof coating on it and will be tiled. 😀

@ryanskeete 2 года назад

How are those slides holding up?

@VanLifeDesigner 2 года назад

Hello Ryan Skeete! Going great so far, thanks!.

I don't really see why a screw would fail; screws are extremely strong against sheer forces and I cannot see how any pull out forces could be applied to these slides. How could any lateral forces be applied to these fixings? The drawer is in the way. Something would somehow have to force the slides out of parallel. I just don't see how that can happen. And you have the slides resting on the floor anyway.

@VanLifeDesigner 2 года назад

Good points. Yes, I've tended to over engineer much of my build to ensure for safety. Thanks for your input! 👍

@@VanLifeDesigner I am using the exact sex nut screw thingos. I have watched heaps of profession draw installs and they all recommend this technique for many reasons… excellent work lovely… your build is going to be solid and durable… ❤
