Hey friends! After MANY requests to make a video on drawer building, I'm attempting to put together an easy to follow series breaking down the process into four easy to tackle steps:

This first video will discuss how to figure your drawer front and drawer box dimensions.
The second part will discuss how to assemble the drawer box.
The third will explain how to install the drawer slides and the drawer boxes.
And the final part will share some tips on installing the drawer fronts.

I hope you stick around and hit that notification bell so you don't miss when the next parts go live!

This video is a little more "talk to camera" and example based. We won't get into building anything, BUT, getting the measurements is half the work, so it's the foundation for moving into the next steps.

I hope you enjoy it--even if it feels like a math lesson :)
