DIY Pallet Wood Vertical Drawers

Picture
This is what the area looked like before.

I then made a built in television cabinet.
Also made from pallet wood.
DIY T.V. Cabinet
Picture

Picture
Starting with a basic frame to support the
drawer sliders. I also framed up
this part of the floor. so it’s ready for the flooring to go in later.

I then marked and leveled off were all
the drawer runners will be going.
Picture

Picture
The sliders are made from angle iron.

Owen welded on flat bar to the ends.
These will act as stoppers to prevent the
drawers from pulling all the way out.
Picture

Picture
Drilled holes either end.

  Then used a larger drill bit on the surface
to counter sink the screw heads.
Picture

Picture
Starting with the base of the drawers.
I am using 35×70 non structural pine.

Measuring, Marking.
Picture

Picture
And cutting to length.

 I then run those through the table saw
to rip them in half length ways.
Picture

Picture
I now have front, back, and sides
of the drawer fame.

Marked and pre-drilled either end
of the side pieces.
Picture

Picture
Attached them to form a rectangle.

Checking to make sure it will fit.
Picture

Picture
 I then set up my cross cut jig and stop block to quickly cut all of my base pieces to length.

I use chipboard screws for all of my builds. because they are affordable.
Picture

Picture

 Square up the first paling before attaching.

Then add on the rest of the base pieces.
Picture

Picture
Moving onto the sides of the drawer and setting the stop block to 250 mm

DIY Work Bench
Picture

Picture
Pre-drill and chamfer I end of either length.

Attach them around the
perimeter of the base.
Picture

Picture
For the remaining gaps. I take the individual measurements from each side.

  Rip the lengths to the required width.
Picture

Picture
Tap it into position.

Moving onto the top edge.
I set the table saw to 25 mm
Picture

Picture
and run a full length paling
through a few times.

Measure the length of the base.
Picture

Picture
Tighten the pipe clamp until the top edge is the same length as the base measurement.

Mark all the holes.
Picture

Picture
 Drill and chamfer.

Attached with chipboard screws.
Picture

Picture
2 drawers down, 3 to go.

To prevent the drawers from pulling
all the way out, I attached stoppers on the underside of each draw.
Picture

Picture
The stoppers are 25 mm wide,
I then turned them side on to
cut a depth of 10mm

I did this to prevent it from catching
on the drawer bellow it.
Picture

Picture
Time to attach the face of the drawers.

Because these will be attached from the
back side, I added registration marks
and level line.
Picture

Picture
I can now clamp the face piece
precisely were it needs to be.

Now that the face of all the drawers are on.
It is time to stain them.
Picture

Picture
I am using Water based stain in the
colour ‘New Jarrah’.

Watered it down to a 1:1 ratio in
the bowl that Auntie Neash
left at our place.
Picture

Picture
I only do 1 coat. Mainly because I couldn’t be bothered to do any more.

 I got these drawer handles from
eBay for $1 each.
Picture

Picture
Mark out and drill the holes.

Then attach the handles.
Picture

Picture
I added a couple of dividers
to some of the drawers.

If you have any questions or would like a bit more information, then feel free to leave a comment on my YouTube video.
And I will get back to you as soon as I can.
