Quick, sturdy, elegant, easy-to-build drawers.
Sometimes drawer-making can be intimidating... especially when using drawer slides. The fit just has to be perfect. There are dozens (maybe hundreds) of ways to make drawers. In this video we look at the drawer lock router bit method and show tips for making perfect drawers quickly and easily.

What a great teacher. People joke about it being long and slow, but when you’re making videos for beginners those details really help. I’m a few years in to the hobby now, but I still reference his videos from time to time.

@downtoearthwoodworks 6 лет назад

Thank you so much... means a lot to me.

@martymitchell9855 5 лет назад

Don’t change a thing! Your videos are PERFECT!!

@kevinwhelan22652 6 лет назад

Best demo video I've ever watched on drawer building. Clean, simple, with no missing steps. Can't thank you enough.

@dianevessels2632 6 лет назад

Very sturdy looking drawer boxes.

@MOLMUSAS1 8 лет назад

This is great, there is reality on here. Not like other shows where you know they have done stuff prior to make sure they got it correct, like if they get it the first time, everytime.

I am building a camper van and was looking for a video on how to make drawers. I am just learning wood working and this video helped me so much. Thank you!

@daranchboss 2 года назад

Great common sense instructions. One caveat - if you are working from a bench make sure it is dead level. Otherwise your 'leveling' process will not be level to the world.

@dannyh.7490 7 лет назад

Nice job teaching how to make a drawer box using a drawer lock bit. Concise, to the point with no rambling ! I like using the prefinished plywood for the sides and melamine bottoms, so there's' no finishing involved !

@wandamoore1731 5 лет назад

You are a great teacher. Very informative and easy to understand. LOVE that you Don't use music. I don't save many videos but yours is a Definite! Now I'm off to make some drawers. Thanks for sharing your precious time with me.

@toddcarlin8193 7 лет назад

I'm getting ready to build my own kitchen cabinets and drawers and will be using your exact process from your videos. Thank you for making such good videos, A+

@TheShavingWoodWorkshop 9 лет назад

Great over view of a really simple approach to drawer building, nicely done.

@GlenDomulevicz 6 лет назад

The perfect topic for me at the right time. I had considered this option, now I am ready to give it a go.

@SharpEdgeWoodworking-UK 9 лет назад

I got a drawer lock bit in a set I bought some time ago and I had a go at using it for the first time last week. Without any real instructions it took me a while to figure it out and set it up....but I ended up with great results and I can see me using this a lot from now on.

@downtoearthwoodworks 9 лет назад

+Sharp Edge Woodworking Great! And now that you have some leftover scraps, it will be a whole lot easier to set up next time... you did keep some scrap pieces, right? :)

@TheLittleGardenShedWorkshop 9 лет назад

Great video, enjoyed it, looking forward to part two, cheers Harry

@TheKlickitat 9 лет назад

I liked the video because it was educational, but the router bit and the extra fancy joint it makes is a solution to a non-problem. Infact the solution is a step backwards in comparison to the very first flipped rabbet joint you showed. Using the first joint, the entire drawer can be done using a table saw. Although I don't care for the bit, the video was great.

@stevewhitsett7744 8 лет назад

the locking rabbet can be done on the table saw too if you prefer.... it just requires a bit more fuss....

@venderitso1929 5 лет назад

Very cool teaching thanks for sharing very appreciated...

@ericjames-olson2038 9 лет назад

Great video. I like that router bit.

@davidnleeh4 4 года назад

Thank you for posting this video!!!

@dahveed284 8 лет назад

1964 till 2015 means that drawer is still working 51 years later. That's pretty impressive for a simple glued and nailed drawer front. Seems to me the front gets more stress than the rear. Thanks for making this simple...

@downtoearthwoodworks 8 лет назад

Correct! In fairness, we have to keep in mind that the plywood was much better in those days!

@yvonbelanger6488 3 года назад

@nelsonmamangon62 7 лет назад

very well explained..thank you sir for sharing this techniques!

@befmx31 6 лет назад

Very good video.

@befmx31 6 лет назад

Now, after getting my bit and giving it a try, I had a LOT of trouble getting this thing set up. I still don't have it perfect. When I set that bit like you suggested and router both ends, they are nowhere near fitting together. I am a beginner wood worker so this my not be an issue for most people. Is there any way you could do a video just on this joint? Meaning, explain how to make adjustments based on how the joint is fitting together.

@richardmorris112 6 лет назад

Hi Steve. I'm loving your videos as a new subscriber. Particularly your design of drawers. I want to try the joint for some larger pantry drawers that will be roughly 2 ft square and higher. Would you recommend staying with the same size lumber. Thanks very much.

@downtoearthwoodworks 6 лет назад

Hi Richard, thanks for watching. I don't see any reason you couldn't use the same size material. I've made drawers that were almost 4 feet wide using this method and they were fine.

@richardmorris112 6 лет назад

Thanks Steve. My concern was for the 1/4" bottom and whether it would carry the weight of a drawer full of cans or bottles, for example, over a two feet stretch. Can I press you on the question of the drawer bottom being adequate?

@downtoearthwoodworks 6 лет назад

Richard, I'm sorry, I did understand that you were referring to the bottom. If you are going to put heavy bottles and cans in a larger drawer, you will definitely want to up the size of the bottom, perhaps to 1/2" material. You could also put a couple of thin braces side-to-side under the bottom of the drawer. Install those into notches in either side and glue them in... they will help!

@richardmorris112 6 лет назад

Thanks, Steve. My original question was unclear.

@davidjeromedawson 6 лет назад

Great instructional video. Which router bit did you use to create the locking profile?

@MCP1BEME 7 лет назад

Very Nice and informative. The way I was shown to do a drawer bottom was "not" to glue it. I was told that it needs room to expand and contract. Do you glue all of your drawer bottoms? Have you ever heard of "not" gluing the bottoms in?

@le5944 8 лет назад

Great Video! very well done and specific. I think routers are a great option when on a budget. I was wondering if there's a way to do the grooves for the bottom of the drawer with the router as well. what type of bit should be used? Newbie here!

@downtoearthwoodworks 8 лет назад

+Lila Epperson Absolutely... a straight bit will work... either get one sized properly or get one a little undersize and make two passes. I like to use what is called a "spiral uncut bit."

@robira1313 4 года назад

Love your videos! I want to make a simple drawer just using butt joints and glue and screws. But my groove is going all the way through the corners and it is showing on the final product. Any way to avoid those grooves from showing through?

@Fernanderas2011 7 лет назад

Rockler bit ???, oh by the way I grounded my dust collection system as you advised, is working great, I would like to send you some pictures, If I may I can send you my email, great English pronunciation, very clear southern accent...thank you again

@downtoearthwoodworks 7 лет назад

You can email me at sjohnson@downtoearthwoodworking.com Thanks!

@wlp6200 6 лет назад

I'm curious why you use the table saw for cutting the recess for the drawer bottom. Are router bits not a tight enough fit? New guy here... Thanks for the right amt of information at the right pace!

@downtoearthwoodworks 6 лет назад

Hi, thanks for watching. You certainly could cut the groove for the drawer bottom at the router table, and getting the perfect fit would simply be a matter of getting the right bit size or using a slightly smaller bit and making a couple of passes... "sneaking up" on the right fit. However, for a drawer bottom, the table saw is just a faster and easier way to make a groove.

@wlp6200 6 лет назад

downtoearthwoodworks thank you, great explanation.

@timmark4190 8 лет назад

Great video. Whats the thickness of the wood used? And the wood type?

@georgelza 3 года назад

... now to see if I can find that drawer bit for the router. G

@evelynedwin2472 5 лет назад

Nice video, can you pls add in the description a link to where we can purchase that router bit?

@richardlug6139 5 лет назад

Rockler sells one as do all the other major router bit many factors. You also can find a bunch of cheap Chinese on amazon. Personally I like the 45 degree locking miter bit better it is easier to set up and has more uses, but is about $40 more at rockler.

@lilpig3 8 лет назад

Great video. Can you let us know what brand router bit that is?

@downtoearthwoodworks 8 лет назад

It's from Rockler www.rockler.com/drawer-lock-router-bit

@bugsysiegals 4 года назад

I'm going to make some drawers out of 5/8" Baltic Birch plywood (9 ply) ... Have you had any luck in making these joints in plywood without tearout?

@batcavebricks8623 5 лет назад

Can you tell me what you are using to mark the drawers while you are building them? Its a white something. Thanks.

@paulyanney3151 2 года назад

How well does that bit work on plywood?

@walkingconifer Год назад

Does this technique applies to plywood?

@Fernanderas2011 7 лет назад

Thank you for your time, What thickness of material did you use?, seems 3/4 but I want to make sure, I use 3/4 front,bacj and sides, bottom 1/4 " .....thank you

@downtoearthwoodworks 7 лет назад

You've got it... 3/4" Thanks!

@bryancampbell9312 7 лет назад

what is the part number of the router bit? Also, what wood are you using and what is the thickness?

@downtoearthwoodworks 7 лет назад

Here is a link to one version of the bit. There are many competitors out there, so shop around to get exactly what you want. www.rockler.com/drawer-lock-router-bit?PL&sid=V9146&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0YutnNfu1QIVl4KzCh3XOA4NEAYYASABEgKocPD_BwE My drawers sides are typically milled to 3/4" thick. Thanks for watching!

@toddcarlin8193 7 лет назад

some builders say you shouldn't glue the drawer bottom in the groove due to expansion and contraction. What is your advice on that?

@downtoearthwoodworks 7 лет назад

If you use a solid wood bottom, that is definitely a consideration. With solid wood I never glue in the bottoms, but use the little rubber-like "space balls" to keep the drawer bottom from "rattling." If you use plywood, it will be okay to use glue.

@cesarsanchez1050 8 лет назад

Is there a particular reason to why you used waterproof glue?

@medhist2006 7 лет назад

just wondering. what wood did you use?sorry if I missed it if you mentioned it. I need to make about 24 drawers.:)

@downtoearthwoodworks 7 лет назад

I used maple, as best I remember. Thanks for watching!

@robinwise1101 7 лет назад

Is the bit only suited for 3/4 stock?

@downtoearthwoodworks 7 лет назад

You can consult the supplier's information. Most of these bits allow a slight range but they are usually optimized for 1/2" and if you do some digging, sometimes other sizes.

@brizuelaih 7 лет назад

Que tipo de fresa usa ? Gracias.

@mirceaion 4 года назад

Coplanar means "in the same plane" thus it has meaning only for elements contained in a plane like lines or dots. Don't use it when you mean parallel (planes or drawer sides). Parallel can be used for planes too. Two planes cannot be coplanar because they are the same plane.

@ernestoflorezserrano5224 9 лет назад

Extraordinario

@marciogambaro1619 3 года назад

@bobfore3839 4 года назад

Very nice construction and I am sure it is rock solid, but it isn't "quick".

@ryanfreeman125 6 лет назад

At 8:25, those boards are actually not coplanar. They are parallel planes.

You're right. And at x1.5 he sounds like Steve Ramsey :-)

@MrMojo271 8 лет назад

The one thing I've been noticing in woodworking videos lately is the incorrect use of the word "coplaner". Coplaner means in the same plane. 2 drawer sides are not coplaner, they're in parallel planes. Just an observation

@downtoearthwoodworks 8 лет назад

You are absolutely correct (I looked it up!)... I'll stop using the term... Now I have to memorize "parallel planes." :)

@MrMojo271 8 лет назад

Well, you're not alone. I see this usage all over RU-vid. As a math guy, and woodworker, it was just something I noticed.

@72BP 6 лет назад

I missed that slight of hand at 6:00 the first time i watched this.

@AlergicToSnow 7 лет назад

Coplaner? I think you mean parallel.

@jamesbreda8213 6 лет назад

That bit is too fussy, too slow, too much math, which makes too much room for error. There are far more efficient ways to make strong drawers. Try the quarter, quarter, quarter, or half, half, half method.

@niebzdury1377 6 лет назад
