Diy Drawer Slides

DIY drawer slides can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. The simplest type of DIY drawer slide is made from two pieces of wood that are cut to the same length as the drawer. A groove is cut into the bottom of the drawer and the top of the slide, and the two pieces are screwed together. This type of drawer slide is not full extension, but it is easy to make and install.

To make a full extension DIY drawer slide, you will need two pieces of wood that are cut to the length of the drawer plus twice the thickness of the wood. You will also need four pieces of wood that are cut to the height of the drawer and the thickness of the wood. The two long pieces will be the runners, and the four short pieces will be the stops.

To assemble the drawer slide, start by screwing the stops to the ends of the runners. Then, attach the runners to the drawer and the cabinet using screws or nails. Make sure that the runners are level and that the drawer is centered in the opening.

Once the drawer slide is assembled, you can add wax or lubricant to the runners to help the drawer slide smoothly.
