BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Cabinets are from 1999. I have fought these shelves long enough. I have moved spices long enough. Time for rollout and a spice rack I found two hinges in my old cabibet hardware and I've got a box of 10-21" full extension drawed slides. The hinges are plunged but the screw one will work just fine. Needs 5 hinges fir spice rack.. To be continued 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'm a big fan of pull outs. Easy to add to kitchen cabinets. Makes the lower cabinets more useful for older folks. Now that I'm an 'older folk' I benefit from them too . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I’ve put in so many for customers and the wife didn’t want them. I’m tired of digging and the spice cabinet is overloaded and constantly rebuying what we simply can’t find. The cabinets are good and don’t want to rebuild , plus it has double demountable. Another challenge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Now they’re easy to add if you just spend money, but I’ll show you how to build them with what’s probably already in your shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 About 10 years ago I added a sheet rollout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 These rollouts will be based on a design taught to me by Regency Cabinets and how I will use this method with a few changes because of the drawer slide type and hinge.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Remember the drawer rollouts will be sitting 20 deep in a 23 1/4 deep cabinet. I have a box of 20" full,extension drawer slides I never used. Because there 20" I will also add a spice, etc rack on the door.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I found a sheet of 1/2 maple melamine that was used for cover sheet at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 @BillyJack do those make the rollouts adjustable? That is pretty slick if it does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I had to dig but I knew I had 2'-3' maple cutoffs I was saving for dovetail drawers but haven't used them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Adjustable roll-outs? There is a perfect "Why didn't I think of that?" situation! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjeff70 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Did you work at a Regency Cabinets, is that how you get taught? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I worked at Regency cabinet for 7 years as there cabinet installer in the late 90's. They were one of the cheaper shops around. Built everything they could inhouse...I originally started at a Commercial shop I Florece, Al. In 1983... I was trained 2 years buy a great quality minded cabinet guy named Ronnie. I eventually years later became his supervisor on a job as Ronnie played in a band and had a drinking problem and became unreliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 A few things to keep in mind about cabinet makers.. #1... its repetitive drawers, face frames, boxes, etc... #2...speed is the money. The faster you can produce it, the more you make. Buying expensive equipment pays off in this situation. Less time on the machine means more out the door.. #3...commercial and residential are different. #4...cabinetry and furniture making are different.. #5...European and custom cabinetry are the same, but different.. If I go to work at either I know what to expect.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Halloween is Monday, Tuesday is the doctor. Hopefully by Wednesday I’m back in the shop.

BillyJack Posted October 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I cut the face frame up and the door parts to make the adjustable members and side pieces. I ran these through the planer to make them equal thickness.. the drawer runners were ran as well, but will need more modifying.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 In the 90’s I worked for a place called Manual Craft in Alabama. A guy there would take a 6” wide board or so and cut dados in it for the workers. This was almost a daily deal. I’ve done this and it is really hard on your hands. I started using the RAS to make dentil mold and enjoy it in comparison.. This is one task a RAS shines.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted November 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Nothing much going on today. I finally did get the Freud dados installed with shims for the 1/2 maple melamine.i don't like tk do dados anymore so I made a jig. Its easier to run dados for cabinets with a router in the table.using the tablesaw fence. Don't let anyone tell you running dados is easy.its more complicated than that. Try doing dong dados for several hours, better be on your game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted November 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 So here wa have one assembled. I disd a Norn and used a few brads till the glue dried. No glue around the three dado's back and sides, but in the front as it's where all the pulling force is. Check for square and set aside to dry.. Not a fan of the nail gun? Remember this is cabinetry , not furniture... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted November 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Completed and drying. I'll let these set awhile and allow the glue to somewhat set.. 17 3/16 for a 17,5 opening. PERFECT.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
