What happens here

Full extension drawer slides are installed onto the cabinet sides and the drawer boxes. A Kreg drawer slide jig is used to simplify the process and ensure accurate placement, maintaining a perfect 90-degree angle and consistent spacing. The slides are then screwed into place using an impact driver. The drawers are then test-fitted into the cabinet, demonstrating their smooth, effortless operation. The creator notes a previous mistake where drawers were made 1/4 inch too wide due to measuring the outside of the cabinet instead of the inside, emphasizing the importance of accurate internal measurements.

Goal: Ensure smooth and functional drawer operation

Tools and materials
