Added tip :use blue tape for your pencil Mark ,that way you don't have to sand it l off and if your cabinets are finished you have a nice Mark and you didn't damage the cabinet by putting a pencil line on it just use some tape I recommend frog tape from Home Depot yellow is good because you could see the pencil line really well.
One of the best tutorials on constructing and fitting drawers and slides, effortlessly and seamlessly. Thanks Buddy.
Slowly buying kreg tools. Love them
I have installed draws and doors with my Kreg tools before. This video explains it VERY well! Thanks
To enter this comment, I just use the proper jig. Seriously though, thanks for showing what seems to be a pretty straightforward process.
These videos are amazing! Thank you! I finally bought my first home and I’m building everything for the remodel by hand. Kreg products are an upfront cost but save me so much time, money in wasted materials and FRUSTRATION. And the pride at showing off my “new” home.... not enough words to describe!
I was installing new drawer pulls on finished drawers. Taping a small piece of paper or a post-it note to the front allowed me to make my mark for the Kreg jig without having to wipe off the alignment mark. Of course, that technique works in unfinished wood as well. The jig saves so much time. Love it.
Jigs are the name of the game to the novice woodworker. Kreg has a great selection of speciality jigs for tough installs. I am a fan!
Thank you for a great and informative video. I built myself a MPCNC table, that I now want to put in some draws/cupboard underneath, and this video explained everything I need to do.
LOL, I bought the jig, but your VIDEO, shows me not just using it for the slide, but holding the drawer as well, WOW. GREAT
I have watched hundreds of DYI videos on YouTub, and this video is by far the best tutorial I have ever seen. No second guessing. Keep them coming, great job!!!!

Nice pace and I appreciate all the commentary and problem solving along the way.
Thank you Kreg for the very informative video. I like your stuff.
The Kreg jig for drawer pulls is pretty sweet. I used to make my own out of scrap wood, but then you end up with several laying around the shop. This saves me the trouble. Ditto for the European hinge jig...used to make these out of plexiglass, but that got a bit tedious and time consuming. These two Kreg jigs are my mainstays.
I’m just getting into wood working and the pocket hole jig from Kreg has been invaluable
Thank you!!! Really informative!
That was one of the best videos ever!!! So clear and easy to follow without all the fluff. Excellent job!
Great video on making drawers. I ordered both Jigs...the tools make the job
Terrific video that makes everything approachable. I’ve been using pocket screws for all my shop projects and they are also great for furniture where the homes will be hidden. Kreg jigs are awesome.
Thanks for caring enough to make sure. We get what you are doing...which is awsome explanation...that was great.
Great video.. made it seem effortless. Thanks. Cant wait to buy some and get building.
Never realized it was so simple to install a drawer! Of course, now I have to go out a buy a Kreg jig.... :-D (was planning on doing so already!) Thanks Kreg - for making a beginner's life easy!

Like how you placed the bottom in. I just did this on two drawers. I'm just starting out and this was easy. I see others cutting out Dado's.
Excellent video! And great design work!
I wanted to add handles to my kitchen cabinet drawers and doors and now I need to buy that jig. Another Kreg item on the list. I'll wait for that project a while tho.
I’m not a wood worker, but I did the same thing with a piece of cardboard and scotch tape. Worked perfectly, but then I’m Scottish 🙋

thank you for showing the adjusting the slotted screw to fix misalignment. for the life of me, it's been very frustrated to use these jigs only to have the drawers not leveled. i was contemplating returning the jigs but looks like this is expected and i can do additional adjustments afterwards. i'm glad i found this video!!!! i was losing all hopes installing drawer slides!

Does Kreg make Jigs to build Jigs?
I believe that the smartest people work at Kreg! So good!
Thank you Sir for the tutorial 😊I have one jig from kregg .
Highly informative!
I want to install drawers everywhere!
excellent video. thank you
Nice video. Clear explanation. The only thing is it needed jigs to help built the project.
Really neat trick to use the brackets on the inside of the cabinet to mount the drawer slides to the cabinet. I have those already and I always thought they were to hold the drawer in place while you mouht the slides on the drawer. Great tip. Thanks.
Kreg makes a jig for everything.
I tore out all the cabinets from my kitchen and installed all brand new cabinets last year. The new cabinets didn't come with pre-drilled holes (for obvious reasons) so I had to drill them myself. The doors / drawer faces are beveled, so doing this by hand was a major pain! After one or two, I decided to buy the cabinet hardware jig to do all the rest. It is AMAZING. It not only cut the time down to drill all these holes, but gave me perfect alignment of the handles throughout the kitchen. I'll never install or even build another cabinet without this jig!!!
Great step by step video
I have to make some drawers so naturally i come across this video. I now need to buy all the Kreg products. 😀
Thank you for making a job like this less intimidating, now I feel I can do this with ease.

This is a really helpful video. You don't need the music in the background. It's annoying. Thank you for this information.
Kreg tools rock. I own all of them. Their folding table be very aware. It will pinch you as you have never been pinched before. I knew but forgot and dam if it did not cause me to scream.
Wow, that’s a lot of pocket holes.
I don’t know if that drawer was misaligned on purpose to show how to fix it or not. That’s how good this guy is.
Thanks Dave, Great tips.

Great Video. Easy to follow. What size kreg screws did you use for the 1/2” thick material for drawers? What size screws did you use for the 3 part hinge?
Thank you

I have the best Kreg Jig of them all , Kreg is a woodworker who lives next door, easy peasy
Wow, I've never seen that many holes in a cabinet in my life. It wasn't that bad until you opened the doors... How much wood is left? Kidding, cool vid.
Thank you for such an informative video
you know what , at the first sight, I thought your drawer slides are manufactured by us, however at the installation part, I found the soft close mechasims are a little different shape. lol. you are good at designing cabinets boss, nice work.
BRAVO

Nice tools
Fantastic video. .I have most of these tools but from watching this video I see I need the complete set, These are top of the line tools. When I made my initial investment in them I really had no idea how much of a time saver they would prove to be . Not only that but they make a craftsman’s work look even better. It takes using them on a couple of projects to truly appreciate what a quality tool each piece is. Buy them all you won’t regret it. Also they make great gifts.
A lot of jigs but I can see how they are useful. Great video
Thanks for the great video. I got just one question, what is the drill and mandrel you used in this video?

Great help. I love Kreg products. Only one critique, the drawer face is called a drawer front. A false front is the piece that covers the opening under a sink. They are usually a fixed panel. Hence “false front “
Nice job! Like another gentleman stated, nothing is perfect.
This is such a confidence building step-by-step. Too bad Kreg is not available in my location.
All these great jigs! Almost feels like cheatin'.
Super easy install, just need $500 worth of jigs lol. In all seriousness, this video was great and that furniture came out amazing
If andy from the office did wood working... Great video!
Best video tutorial on how to do this, yet! Only thing to make it better would have been tool list.

Nicely done. Two points though, the exposed pocket hole on the backs of the doors looks bad, maybe fine for a shop. Also, when drilling the pull mounting holes with the jig, you didn't put a backing scrap to prevent tear out on the outgoing side of the drill inside the drawer.

If I’m going to use 22 inch drawer slides what size should the length of the drawer be?
As easy as 1..2..3.... thks guys!
Pocket holes certainly have their place in woodworking , but I avoid using them whenever I have an easy alternative .

Ok, twoweary, please tell us about your "Easy alternative". And please include photos and drawings - that will help us try it your way. Thanks.
I’d save myself a few screws and cut slots in the sides for the drawer base. But I guess this is Kreg wanting to ensure their consumables are well used. 🙂
