Out of numerous people that I have looked at the websites on how to install Euro drawer slides, yours is the only one that provided the actual information that I needed. Thank you very much for your video ma’am.
Great video Ana. I noticed you mention that the cabinet had to be leveled before attempting to level the drawer track for the slides. Many woodworkers fail to mention that very important step. I took wood shop in high school, but never really had a lot of time to work in what I’ve always loved. Now that I’m retired I have more time in my hands to do so. Thanks again.
Nice job Ana, drilling in the middle of the ovals like you said is key to leave room for adjustments. For the drawer fronts I recommend marking and drilling where the handles will go, screw in the drawer front in those holes, pull out the drawer and permanently secure the front, and lastly remove the temp screws where the handle goes and install the screws for the handle.
I love it that you use such simple and basic tools like Ryobi - of which I have a full collection of. And this shows my point: that you don't need expensive tools to make nice respectable and fully functioning furniture and artwork. Im more a guy of using the knowledge and know-how when designing and making stuff - NOT the totally expensive top quality workman tools that they try to have us buy. Thx Ana
It's absolutey accessible to build your own furniture for a fraction of the cost and get exactly what you want! Yes, up front there is a need to invest in tools, but totally affordable. Thanks for the visit!
Thank you for sharing Ana! I am building a cabinet and drawers actually using one of your plans! I love the tip about how to use the 1x2 to space the cabinet members. Your teaching gives me a lot of motivation to build more stuff!!!!!
Great video as usual Ana. I have built so much of your stuff. Just so happens I need to slides now. You are a good teacher. Thank you for what you are doing. You’re a good egg.
I can think of a couple extra advantages of those slides. They are not greasy. With the full extension ones it is easy to get grease on your hands or even clothes, if you brush against them when open. They also attract dust in the grease. The other advantage of the Euro slides is that you can easily remove the drawer by just lifting and tilting, and less fiddly to replace than full extension slides. I keep lesser used items at the back of the drawer. One thing to be careful with is when making the drawers is to allow enough room for lifting the rear roller over the hump when inserting or removing the drawer.
Great video! For once, we do not have a video involving drawer slides that are so expensive that we can only dream of installing them. I did install a few of these and they are indeed easy to install, and quite frankly, not that ugly LOL, Thanks for inspiring us!
Hey there great video ! just a small hint , instead of Brad nailing the drawer face to the drawer try double sided 1/8th foam tape to hold the face while you drill pilot holes to screw face to drawer . Keep up the good work. Could you please talk about how to space drawer slides for proper spacing with multiple drawers. thanks
Hey Anna- another great and smart easy to follow video! What type of screws are needed for euro slides - do you need the special “euro” screws like IKEA ???
That was a very informative video. Thank you so much. I'm installing drawers soon and this was perfect. On another note, I hope you don't mind if I comment about having loose hair around power tools. I think it might be a good idea to tie them back. I'm sure you're really careful, but it's better to model good practices as we often overlook how dangerous it is to get your hair stuck in a mechanical tool.
This made the most sense of the multiple videos I watched for installing this type of slide, but I've still not found a solution to my particular issue. I have a nightstand with center metal slides (Rite-Trak, I think?). I can't use the bottom drawer because it doesn't pull out far enough from the upper drawer decorative overhang. I'm wondering if these euro slides will be a suitable replacement. There's 3/4" clearance on either side of the drawer box in relation to the face frame opening. Can I install some shims or "extenders" to make them fit? I'd be grateful for any suggestions. :)
Thank you! I’m glad I could help! One thought is these slides only pull out 3/4 of the way, so it may not fix your issue. A full extension slide might be a better option 1/4” plywood or wood shims can definitely be used to take down the gap to the 1/2” needed Hope this helps!
Great video, as usual!! You're so great, and your helpful videos encourage me to build. Thank you. ⭐⭐ Consider getting a RODE mic to level out your audio.
Draw slides are expensive in Canada. Cheapest is 20 per slide. And you need 2 for a drawer. Do you have another alternative to use or making a type of slide with wood? I have seen them but they make it complicated. You have a way of simplifying woodworking.😊
I don't have any wood drawer slide tutorials at this time, but here is another option using metal angle www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/cabinet-style-farmhouse-nightstand-drawer
Hi Ana my name is Claudio, thanks for sharing all your diy, I want to do a potting plant 🌵☘️ for my mum I saw a wideo on one you do can't put my hands on it can you please send me the right track to follow and here we use metric but I can convert it but please send me the link I know you use Ryobi tools to do it please 🥺 my mum will be so happy ❤ she likes so much plants thanks in advance god bless Claudio
I can never get the "search" to work on your website, @AnaWhiteDIY. What am I doing wrong? I click on the search and then cannot type anywhere near the line. Please and thank you! I want to build a dresser drawers that will fit into a closet and am trying to find one of your plans to use. I like the "minimalist dresser" but I only have 24" across room for it.
@@AnaWhiteDIY I did manage to find search after I scrolled to the bottom of the page. Today when I went to your site and found it right away. Probably operator error, lol. I love the dresser in this video and it is so close to being what I need except it is too tall (51 1/2 and I need closer to 36 inches tall) and I would like it deeper than 17 1/2 inches, I was wondering if you have a video on how to make changes to a plan or is that even possible? Would I be able to do that on shelfhelpnow ? Thank you for all you do. I have your book and love it.

You make something that always seems to fluster me so much easier to understand. I love your videos, Anna
Happy to help!
Having done this as a beginner myself , you covered all the ins and outs of. The slides are a great way to save and learn.
Thanks!

Good observation but I’m surprised she didn’t have a proper impact tool for attaching screws.
Thank you, Ana! I wanted to add some drawers to some cabinets, and your video gave me the courage it give it a go!
Wonderful!

I want to add a couple drawers to an armoire in my bedroom. You make this look so doable. Now I'm off to get more info on making the drawers.
Here's a drawer video that may help! th-cam.com/video/AlvlrPxXGUw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Jyz44nCm9BQzAUMk
Love watching your drawer videos. Always a good, or great, nugget of information. Thank you

Amazing job is there a full video
I was hoping you had a video on horizontal twin murphy bed 😢
Well I guess you just asked her lol.....
You mean running lengthwise against the wall? What a great idea
Thank you so much Ana! I really appreciate you doing these videos ❤
Thank you, it's my pleasure!

Ana, there are so many options on Amazon and other places to order drawer slides. Is there anyway you can include links to the ones you use?

Oh thank very much. Have a great day!
Thank you Ana. ❤
Thanks for watching!
The tape end tab moves to account for its thickness so it slides in for inside measurements & pulls out for outside measurements.
That said, it can wear and I also usually measure with interior tick marks & do the math.
Nice
Thanks for watching!
