Evening all,

I finished the drawers for my parents kitchen awhile ago, but just got around to installing them along with some drawer fronts. Working on a kitchen 3 hours at a time two days a week makes for a long project....

I never did figure out how the Blum full extension drawer slides were supposed to work according to any instructions I could find, so I just built a box and then dead reckoned how to build the drawer based on real
measurements.

I went to install two drawers in a cabinet and noticed, opps, guess what is missing?

Ayup, forgot the centre divider... Pocket screws to the rescue.

I have some of the doors and fronts on now, notice the door on the far right, it opens to a full height lazy susan. It is one piece top to bottom, it just looks like there is a separate drawer on top.

Another 100 years and I will be done :).

Hi David, Nice job. I know it's too late now but I think I could have saved you a bunch of time in figuring draw box sizes that would work with the Blum tandems. I've got the BLum dynaplan and could have run the numbers for you.
take care,
John

David, great job. Are the cabinets built from the design that is taught by a guy named Danny Proux (I think I'm butchering his last name)? How did you like the system? Would you use the same style/design again?


Thanks.

David,

Very nice and I like that the cabinets are off the floor. Are those adjustable feet?

David,

You are continuing your great work! I am sure that as your parents see their kitchen coming to life, they are realizing that it is all worth the wait! :)
