Install Drawer Slides
At 8:42 in
My Wife Wanted Fluted Wood Panels, I don't have a CNC.
What happens here
Before installing the drawer slides, glue 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch wood strips to the inner side panels of the vanity carcass. These strips create the necessary offset for the drawer slides and ensure proper spacing. Once the strips are secure, mount the full-extension ball-bearing drawer slides to these strips within the vanity openings, ensuring they are level and parallel. Then, attach the corresponding parts of the drawer slides to the assembled drawer boxes. While Euro-style slides were initially considered for cost savings, ball-bearing slides are recommended for smoother operation and better control, even if they are more expensive. This step requires precise alignment for optimal drawer function.
Goal: Affix wood strips to the vanity's side panels for proper drawer slide alignment, then install full-extension ball-bearing drawer slides to both the cabinet and the drawer boxes.
