Construct and Install Drawer Boxes
At 9:10 in
I Built An Expensive Home Depot Vanity For $300
What happens here
Cut plywood pieces for the sides, front, and back of each of the nine drawer boxes. Drill pocket holes on the front and back pieces. Cut dado grooves on the side pieces to accommodate 1/4-inch plywood bottoms. Assemble the drawer boxes using glue and pocket hole screws. Install soft-close drawer slides, noting they were $18/pair from Home Depot. If needed, use scrap 1x2 material to extend the drawer slides to the back of the cabinet for a full extension. Test each drawer for smooth operation and proper seating, making slight adjustments if necessary due to manufacturing tolerances in the slides.
Goal: Build nine individual drawer boxes using plywood and assemble them with pocket hole joinery. Install soft-close drawer slides and test the fit of each drawer.
