  • I have a few more refinements to do with it, but I'm very impressed with how well these work even in this fairly rough state. A coat or two of water based poly would really make them slick, I think.
    When I mention the metal slides price I got at wholesale, that was for a pair of slides 22" long. I bought several for shop projects and my new kitchen cabinets.

      at the top and bottom of the slide there is a lot free space left. since you are custom-building those anyway, why don't you feel it up to the top and bottom of your drawer? that would make for a beefier slide.
      One could also probably figure out a way to integrate that kind of a slide into the frame of a cabinet. I would imagine it to be quite labour intensive and inefficient to do, though.

      @narc1408 7 лет назад +1

      Do you think that could work with just a rectangular piece of wood running in symmetric grooves in the drawer and sides of the cabinet (routed)? of course with some kind of stops. I mean, don't do the T slot, and use the cabinet sides and drawer sides as rails for the middle piece. Oversimplify, cheapen to the max. Could you do a follow up to this to try that? Pretty please? Thanks!

    • @IBuildIt
      @IBuildIt  7 лет назад +1

      na rc- no need to follow up, the tee slot is needed, otherwise the slider in the middle will come out of the track.

    Perfect solution.
    In Brazil we have very hard woods that will work perfectly and last for centuries.
    When there were still no metal slides I wrapped the wooden slats with melaminic laminate (formica) that will outlast the furniture I made. And the slip was too soft. (Translation by Google)

    Nice design and execution. A couple of months back I made a set out of oak with double dovetails for heavy duty use. With paste wax they slide easily. I set them in a cabinet to support a flip-top table, which has a Rigid oscillating sander on one side and a grinder on the other side.

    The part that impresses me most is you modesty: I hear you saying often that this or that appliance - you say it here of the tablesaw fence..."works really well" . I state unequivocally that, all of these do work so well because you have made them, were they made by less skillful hands they would not; thank you very much for all your interesting, inspiring work.

    I made some drawers which were 3/4 as deep as my desk. The sides extend the full depth. So when you pull the drawer out, it looks like full extension. The depth is nice, and there isn't an issue of items being hidden. For the slides, I used zero friction tape on the top and bottom. They're perfect.

    Thank you for this vid. Almost positive you are referring to my comment. The cost is indeed what was my concern. I have not found commercial drawer slides for cheaper than fifteen bucks, but usually closer to 20. The application I was looking at was for my girlfriend's potting shed. Not a super heavy use drawer. I have access to tons of small/scrap wood and I am not concerned about having to remake and replace pieces later on. Again, thanks for the video, exactly what I was looking for.

    I can't explain why, but it makes perfect sense to me to use two different species of wood. Mainly because they will be two different hardnesses, and something about that just makes sense. That's how bushings work.

    • @theTORTUGAZUL

      I would think it could also be because different woods expand and contrast differently, keeping the slides from jamming up.

    Nice idea. I like the all-wood solution that could really be made with scraps. I'm sure you've already thought about it (maybe for version 2) but the side pieces that attach to the cabinet could be mounted to a piece of 1/4" plywood. That might make them easier to install. Plus you could add the stops to it.
    As always, great video!

    I always thought this would work, even mentioned it to Mathias awhile ago, and he suggested that they would probably lack durability. Seems like with a good lube these could last a long time. It also seems like if you could reduce the part count so they held more together prior to installation, these would be a great alternative to steel. In my head I was thinking the inner slide could be made as part of the actual drawer... Anyway, good idea + great execution = creative as always, Thx.

  • @saritsotangkur2438
    @saritsotangkur2438 7 лет назад

    The design looks good, but I think the biggest challenge is in finding ways to manufacture and install them quickly. If it adds an extra 30-45 minutes per slide to the project, and isn't as strong, durable or smooth as metal slides, then the cost savings may be hard to justify. I think if part of the slide can be milled directly into the drawer sides and the other components made in contrasting woods, then you have a good opportunity to add visual interest and something unique to the project.

    Johnssns paste wax in the slides will make it slick enough to slide easier and not near as messy as graphite or ugh grease. The paste wax is pretty cheap and a can will last a long time just a little bit is all it would take. I use it on all my tools tops, saws, scroll saw, keeps the tops slick letsthe wood slide freely without any dull spot to catch.

    This has been done for centuries. You may find those most often underneath expanding tables as a guide for the two halfes.
    Use hard wood with fine pores. Oak is the worst. The oak pores will catch dust and wear out in no time. My Experience is that even spruce works better than oak. Here we use beech, but hard maple is wonderful for that.
    Just wax them (even with a candle). Water based poly (and all stuff like this) will melt as you move it with some higher load and than it sticks really.

      I Build It True, John - at least to some extent. I thought I'd found some really cool ideas on YT... French cleat stuff, wedge clamping, build-out clamp storage, and on and on... but last night I was sitting in bed reading the Home Workshop book from a nice Time-Life Woodworking book series I have from the late 80s-early 90s - and ALL of those things, plus many more, are in those books. They've been sitting in a box, and now on on a shelf in the basement for 25 years, silently waiting for me to pick them up and actually read them.
      But, YT just makes things more accessible, and (good) videos like yours really bring things to life. I love reading - but I hadn't been in those books since shortly after I got them way back when. I'm going to go back and go through them all now - but I'll still be watching lots of YT vids.

    it's a great idea. I would suggest that for fast reproduction you should make a mold of original pieces and cast them in shockproof resin. You could make a bunch of copies in a short time wit high precision and stronger than any wood.

    I always complain about how the U.S (and most other wester countries) have all these amazing tools that are not available in my country, unless I imported them and paid 4 times their price in taxes. But then, like in this video, I am thankful at how cheap certain things are in comparison. A full extension 22" drawer slide of the same quality as any western brand, in my country would cost $3. The cheap knockoffs of dubious quality would cost about $1.50.
