Hey friends, welcome to part 3 of the Drawer Building Series--How to Install Drawer Slides and Drawer Boxes!

If you haven't already checked out part 1--how to measure and size drawer fronts and drawer boxes, check it out here:    • How to Measure and Size Drawer Fronts...  

If you haven't already checked out part 2--how to build a drawer box--check it out here:    • How to Build a Drawer Box | Easy Step...  

In this video, I'm going to share my drawer installation process. Obviously, there are MANY ways to install a drawer, so this isn't the only way.

The next video of the series will be finishing up by installing the drawer fronts. However, due to scheduling issues, it may be a few weeks before that last video is posted, so thank you for your patience.
