Woodworking Fundamentals – Fitting Drawers

In this meeting Bob will be demonstrating different methods for fitting drawers and as always will try to answer any questions that pertain to woodworking. 

The first method for fitting the drawers will be using the runner and kicker. This is a traditional technique involving planning the sides of the drawer to fit the interior of the casework until you get the correct glide.

The second method will be fitting drawers on wooden runners. The drawer is planed to fit the interior of the cabinet but runs on wooden runners routed into the cabinet side.

The last method will be similar to the second, only the wooden slide is in two parts, the first attached to the cabinet interior and the second attached to the drawer via grooves or screws.

Come and have a rewarding learning experience seeing the process of fitting your drawers. Enjoy the warmth of the wood stove, Bob’s engaging sense of humor and have the opportunity to win a door prize! Remember to bring a sweater or sweatshirt (Winter is coming!).

If you have suggestions on topics for future meetings, please drop a line to [email protected] and Bob will do his best to accommodate them.
