Heikki, Take a look at my pictures on pages 21,22,23 & 24 of my build pictures Link.

Basically you build a box, and put a face plate on it. Oh and sliders.

Ive got sliders ... and Ive got one of them there table saws that you can make the angles with .. geepers whats that in Engleis... well it can be set to different angles and yes its a hand saw... Ohh even Gage has one of them.

Ohh is it called a mitre saw? In Finnish its a Jiri Saha.

Mary how did you get that wood looking so decorative or did you buy it looking like that? By router or?

Looks like it has angle on it too and I dont mean the mitre(?) cuts..Hope you dont mind I posted one of your url,s or pics to show..

Ahaa

Ok now with Mary K,s quick home study picture course I think Im ready to take the test..

Straight panels and as it looks like wood decor molding added to it?

Ok Im going to give it my best try.. thank you Mary K.

Heikki, that is moulding I purchased at the local hardware store (lowes). Its pre-made. I just cut it at 45% and glued it on some birch 3/8" ply for the face plate.

Here is one of my cabinet doors, but it the same process.

[Classic Finn]

Yes Dear...We have that here also.. I do believe I have my mind set to make some of them now..

Thank You Mary K embarrassing moments without fancy tools..

ps: That ply isnt more than 1/4 inch correct?

[Mary K]

Yes, it smaller that 1/4" , but 1/4" will do also.

You don't put the, what I call face plate, on until you make the box.





Make sure you get good a dimension between the sliders. and that will be the width of your drawer.

I first made the boxes to wide, and had to pull them apart and cut and inch off the width. I was lucky, Dad came over and helped me get it right and installed them for me.

Mary I see the Kreg tools came in handy there too?

Ive got some nice 4 millimeter ply laying around so I,ll use that for the door backs or what you call it..

You sure have done a very nice job with that Mary K.. I,ll have to have you judge or grade mine when I get them completed..

Mary here I can get wood thats been presanded and all so I just have to cut them to size..

I ordered mine from Rockler and all you do is glue and put them together.

Ahh..I see. So all you have to do is put the face plate on it.

Geepers I only wish I lived just a tad closer than what I do..

Heikki-

You could get stainless steel drawer boxes & mount just a wood front.
