Outsourcing Drawers

David Davies All Messages By This Member #139816 Unless I want butt jointed and nailed drawers for my house that's under construction, which is all that the local custom cabinet guys offer, I need to go with someone like Legacy or Merrilat to make the cabinets.? The boxes are pretty standard but I'm wondering if I can bet the local cabinet guys to outsource drawers.? If so what is the go-to drawer supplier you use? Thanks Dave Davies

Brian Lamb All Messages By This Member #139820 ?they are local for me, but they ship as well. I have used them a lot and never have had any issues... well actually one. They drill and notch (and supply at a good price) for the blum undermount drawer slide and one batch of boxes I got from them the 1/4" drill that the "hook" goes into wasn't drilled deep enough. Fortunately an easy fix, but it had me scratching my head for a few minutes when the drawers wouldn't engage in the slides. I've always done the baltic birch sides, but they will do solid wood as well and whatever thickness bottom you want.

James Zhu All Messages By This Member #139826 Yeah. Why not make it by yourself? Buy a PantoRouter or Leigh D4R Pro, I am sure you can make all the drawer boxes for your cabinet in a few days.

Michael Marsico All Messages By This Member #139829 I looked into ordering a bunch of drawers and trays for a good sized kitchen about two years ago.? I priced them with a coupe of places (cant remember who that was at the time). ?? I ended up getting an Omega 650 manual dovetailer and doing them myself. ? I had calculated with that one kitchen i more than paid for the tool - not always the smartest way but i did not mind spending the time on making them - also not sure i had the best pricing that can be had either. In any event that makes the process of cutting dovetails really fast and repeatable - even for someone of my skills! Thank you?

Jared Sankovich All Messages By This Member #139830 I may get flack for this, but I wouldn't use a custom cabinet shop that can't make or even order dovetail drawer boxes. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 1:35 PM Michael Marsico via <michael.marsico1=[email protected]> wrote: I looked into ordering a bunch of drawers and trays for a good sized kitchen about two years ago.?
