Kitchen Pull Out Drawers, Dry Fit

First, I'd just like to say that contrary to popular belief, I do have a plan. Sort of.

This is the mark one version. There have been changes, but it helps to at least sketch it out so you can look back and see what you were thinking. Or if it still seems like gibberish, wonder what you were smoking

Put the first two drawers together for trial fit. After discovering that the fronts needed to be recut on the back side (slight math error), all went very well.

 Clamping it all down to keep it square. Then drill and screw together without glue.

I decided to make drawers rather than shelves because as shelves get stuffed things tend to fall off the sides and backs. Hence the tall sides and backs to keep it all in place instead of falling off and down to the bottom of the cabinet. I use 1" over draw slides so everything is still very accessible.

Teri decided that she really liked the dividers I put in the Alaska set of drawers. They made access to the cookie sheets and baking pans much easier. So, looks like I'll finish these two and put in dividers so we can adjust as we go along.



On to the dividers. Here I'm gluing up scrap 1/8" plywood to make 1/4" dividers. I think we'll go for a walk while the glue dries, the weather's perfect.

Stay tuned and keep warm.
