In this video I go over, in-depth, step-by-step, how I go about making sliding doors for various woodworking projects. I go over a more simple method and a nicer, but more complex method. But I break it all down so that anybody can do it, and no hardware is needed.

What is angle or box joint?aThe author does like to kzread.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
So glad I grew up in a country with the metric system.

When you grow up with feet and inches, it just makes sense. You can be just as precise with Imperial as you can with Metric. Maybe the math is a little easier with metric, but that's why we have calculators.
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzread.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
This is the kind of information the people need! Thanks, Chris!
Probably one of the best explanations on how to properly build sliding doors I've come across... even if you don't make fine furniture and only shop cabinets. Great presentation and video production.
I very much appreciate your thorough descriptions and reasoning for the choices that you make. Of course, your delivery is great as well, thank you.
Great explanation for using this technique, Chris~! I've actually been looking for something like this, so your timing is great. Thanks much~!
In term quality, this is awesome. Excellent accessible instructional video. This is why I’m a proud Patreon supporter. Bravo!
This was incredibly helpful. I just did sliding doors and your tutorial was all I needed. Thank you!
Chris, I think you read my mind. Every time I have an idea, you drop a video on the exact topic I'm looking to learn more about. I've built two of your designs now, and always feel confident following your instruction. Thanks for everything you do.

I just built my first sliding door cabinet and your tips helped a lot, 80 x 36 x 13 inches deep. I aimed for 3/4 overhang just like you recommended. The sliding doors are 40 x 33 and I used half inch and there bowed but it’s a shop cabinet and it’s practice for the real furniture I’ll build for the house. My shop is 1.8 metres wide by 4.8 meters long, super small shop in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
I love these kind of videos, and you do a great job of explaining each step. Thank you for the content!
I’ve never built a cabinet with a sliding door before and just a weekend warrior in the shop. But with this video, I built a sliding door on my cabinet in just a few short hours. My wife is very pleased with the results! This video is awesome!!! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for this video. Built my first cabinet today and used your sliding door method to get results that were a lot better than I expected.
Excellent tutorial - thanks a whole lot, I really appreciate it and found it easy to understand. I was about to start planning construction of a credenza which will need sliding doors. This helped me settle some thoughts I had had, and convinced me not to go down the expensive sliding hardware route.
Fantastic video! I just got a commission for a cabinet that requires sliding doors for exactly the reason you mentioned: space limitations. Been puzzling out exactly how to do it and your tongue and groove explanation was exactly what I needed. Keep up the great work, Chris!
You have changed my mind about sliding doors. Beautiful work. I'm going to incorporate more of these into my work. Thank you!
Nice clean lined work. Thoughtfully produced, quietly explained videos. No hype. Great work ,well done.
Excellent video! Articulate, succinct, but all the necessary details. Thank you for not rambling on just to hear yourself talk as so many online videos do.
Thank you for providing the video and the millimeter version; they are incredibly helpful for those of us imperially impaired.
I love these in depth videos. What an amazing groove you have 😉
Great job explaining.. and not getting to technical..as a newbie wood worker this was a great video to help me out with some questions..
Great explanation one of the best in the topic, thanks Chris am ready to do my slide door without hardware which is awesome, the furniture that you use for the explanation looks beautiful, really nice design and with the sliding doors, wooow real nice thanks great content,
Thank you very much for this video. It is very helpful for me.. You make absolutely stunning furniture, so beautiful and sophisticated it is a pleasure to watch.
This video was awesome! I really appreciate how you broke down the math is this. :)

My favourite how to of yours yet. Great video.
Thank you for the helpful video, please keep up the excellent work and explanation on the details of the video. Love your woodworks SKILLS
I don't own a table saw nor router, but I am subbing right now! Why? This guy is so down to Earth. He doesn't skip or race through project. I recently bot 2 Bluetti AC300s & 2 B300s. I can't find a cart, rack or cabinet that will properly fit my power station. Because I live in rural America & keeping my Power Station in my outdoor kitchen (once I install a Transfer Switch (electrical sub-panel) I have no choice but to build a cabinet with doors due to the insane amount of dust accumulation. (I am surrounded by Agricultural open acres of land all around me.) Sliding doors are the way to go b/c they don't eat up extra space required when you open them. I now am excited cuz this guy has taught me how!!!!! I can do this!!!! Thanks a million! I am off to buy my 1st router now!!!! Oh, anyone have recommendations on what I should be looking for in a router? Will the more expensive ones be worthwhile over the cheaper ones?
Love this style of video! So much value!
Love these informative videos and your content in general! Keep up the good work
Love the details and instructions. Thank you so much for the video!
Impressed. Thanks a lot. Learned so much in less than half an hour.
I enjoyed that. It's was interesting to hear what you say and what sizes you recommend. Great work Chris 👍
Perfect technical video - great job! 👍
Thank you for this, very thorough and informative!
Great video, and beautifull work man!
I taught for 38 years. You have a gift.
I appreciate you putting in MM, Thankyou awesome video as always. Thanks Chris
Brilliant video, great how to explained yourself in several ways 👌🏻
thank you for a great learning video and for using mm as well
Such sweet explanation- thank you!
It feels nice when you add metric. Thanks. Also... I would love it if you threw in an oldschool-foureyes video every once in a while. I've been rewatching all the old stuff couse I miss it 😄 Some poetic/philosofic/pun-ic narrative and other-chris guitar track ❤
Perfect! My next project will hopefully include sliding doors. This was helpful

I am only sorry I can thumbs-up this video only once. The whole video is filled with some really informative stuff and I particularly appreciate the animations. Imagine the time that goes into making them. Enough said.
Great video ! Much appreciated.
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
You always explain well how to do useful things. With sliding doors, I've found it useful to think about what happens if dirt gets in the groove. A hole at the end of the travel, through the bottom of the groove can be helpful.

Thanks for the tips and the graphics 🙏👍
I remember doing this for our wood work classes back in high school . From Malaysia
Why so amazing dude? This vid is sooo good and well explained and all that I can't help but be aggressively amazed, haha (I'm planning to make a closet 130x140~ for a small room, and I needed much much this info for my planning! Thanks)
You sound so natural when you explain all the steps that your projects involve. I was not aware of the hard work behind the scenes. The quality that you give us in each video is impressive. THANK YOU.

Your videos are so ridiculously informative. So I mean this honestly, “thank you”. Also, The Barkley’s look great. Cheers!
Exceptional content, animations, explanations-you saved me hours of trial and error.
Thanks for making this great video, really useful content.
Hi guys I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your efforts. I watch several wood working channels but none of them reaches your level level of design. You style is simplistic but still modern with a bit of a twist. Your rocking chair belongs in a design museum as a piece of art. Maybe make a video about furniture build by your viewers inspired by your design style I used lot of your elements to build some bar chairs ...I got lots of complements for the design If you wish I share the CAD model if others want to build it Keep up the awesome job

Out of the sunglasses I prefer the Barkley or Downing, for you face I think the Barkley ones look the best. Great video man, thanks for all the tips!
This was so fascinating to watch. I love your channel for all the in-depth explanations and illustrations/animations, but this time you even out-did yourselves! I do have one question/idea: Would it be a good idea (read: possible) to make a groove in the bottom tongue of the sliding door and add a wheel/bearing for better sliding? I was thinking you could drill a hole from the inside of the door towards the outside, and stopping before you go all the way through and using a dowel that holds this bearing in place? You would probably need a wider tongue, and thus a thicker door, but I don't see that as a dealbreaker necessarily. If that's doable, you would basically have invisible wheels, if I'm conceptualizing it correctly.
Great info, Chris. Bill
Great video. Thank you.
Would you ever use a full width groove on the top and a tongue groove on the bottom? The benefit being you won't see any part of the tongue at the top.
@estebanbarbalarga4776

Glad I read the comments before asking about the visible top tongue. Sounds like a good solution.
That was great. Thanks!
Great video. 14:52 Looking forward to more plans in your plans section.
Thanks Master...I learnt a lot of this originally Japanese technique... No hardware at all!!!... Greetings from Medellin!!!
Dam you're good at making instructional videos - this is just what I'm looking for thank-you.
Nice video. I have a big cabinet job with quite a few sliders like this, yet it's painted. Wondering about sticking paint and wear on the sliding area. But a nice option if I don't find any hardware.
Hi Chris, love your videos and the clarity of your explanations. I’m not from the US though so I’m not familiar with the Imperial system, could you please include Metric measurements too?
Thank you brother
Right on time! Was just about to start on a sliding door cabinet. I’m using heavy 3/4 material for the doors and worried about weight and friction. Was considering gluing a t slot into the top groove and hanging the door from it. Thoughts anyone?
This is great, man. Thanks so much.
Great content!
this is very cool thanks
Thanks, great video!!! Learned a lot!!
Thank you!
Thank you. I never think of doing doors this way.
i think i´ve told in other videos, I Love you! you are a genius!!
Thanks for the mm measures
Great video.
appreciate so much 1/16 of a in inch = 2mm on the screen! :) It is hard to describe (probably both ways) but when you are used to metric, it's is really not ez to visualize quickly when fractions of inches are discussed.
You fans all the way here in Jamaica blood, loving the content, very useful.
