Hey the NFL Championship games are this weekend.
I'm gonna come right out here and make a bold prediction the two teams going to the superbowl are
Micro Jig maker of the gripper work safer work smarter
storage at our house is at a premium especially in this tiny bathroom where we try to store things
under the sink but it's almost impossible to get them when they're in the back because
there is just not enough room on this side of this sink so I built this full extension drawer
which makes it a lot easier to get to things in here and will hopefully solve a little
bit of our small space storage problems before I start building anything I
already bought the drawer slides so I can see how much space they are gonna take up and how I need to
arrange those inside the cabinet a lot of cabinets will have a face ring like this one
that extend out away from the side of the cabinet of course that means it can't be mounted
right against the side of the cabinet so it needs to come out a little bit I'll have to build up some
spacers in there and I'll have to keep this in mind when design and size up the drawer
but having that face ring actually makes mounting the drawer slides a little easier because the front
of the drawer slide usually meets up with the edge of that face frame
I still have quite a bit of plywood left over from when I built the bathroom vanity
I can test the fit now with the back piece and both of the drawer slides I'll set these on the outside of the face frame
and drop this in there's little bit of play which is perfect I don't want it to tight
I'm gonna try something a little different with this draw. I'm gonna make the front of it a little
bit wider so that extends past the sides and covers up the drawer slide
if you don't have a stack of data gleaned or you live in Europe you can use a router to make
these shallow cut for the drawer bottom I'm gonna set the blades to cut half the thickness of my plywood
after cutting out that ledge on all four pieces I can slide my
fence over to cut out the rest of it I can't do that in one pass with my dattos
I always run tests on scrap board before I commit myself to the actual pieces here
you can see that I got lucky I got a good fit on the first try
and I need to cut out a notch on the end of the front piece and the back piece
and the notch on the front piece is wider
so this is the front and the back piece in these two raised section should be
the same length all of those cuts will make assembling this and squaring it up a lot easier
I can slide this into the cabinet and using the actual drawer slides I can mark where they need to be mounted
I'll make those spacers for the inside of the cabinet out of these scrap two-by-fours
the nice thing about this method is that I can install the drawer slides to these spacers out here
in the shop these screws will hold this into place while I attach the cabinet member
part of the drawer slide now I'll just but it right up against the front. And I can assemble
this drawer as one piece out here in the shop and then take it up into the cabinet and if it's a little
too tight for one reason or another all I need to do is take it back out to my
saw and shave a little bit off of the spacers
I'll shim the drawer up a little bit so that it doesn't drag along the floor of the cabinet
now to attach the drawer part of this slide I'll just pull this out
and but it up against the front
I was in my forties before I experienced casper for the first time
some might call me a late bloomer but I like to think of myself as well seasoned
and just like anybody when I when I got my first mattress I wasn't sure how to
use it
sure I had heard that it was obsessively engineered at a shockingly fair price
but what did that mean. I obsessed over its two technologies the latex foam in the
memory foam and and how they were combined for the first time ever my
sleep zone had just the right amount of sync and just the right amount of
balance it was a paradigm shift of my world view and then it all came rushing
to me I learned that casper has a risk-free trial and return policy and
that viewers of woodworking for mere mortals can take $50 off their first
order by going to casper dot com slash woodworking and entering the promo code

could all this knowledge create world peace
Maybe, Just Maybe
Thank you for joining me this week on woodworking for mere mortals If you'd like to see my plans on
this project check down below in the description you can easily modified this drawer to fit
whatever size cabinet you have and if you have any questions about this project leave them down in
the comments and I'll answer some of those on more minutes early next week have a
great week everybody see you next week
