Actually u should make a base - about 2" high - it got its uses like levelling & make the cabinet more rigid. U should also do the marking of the runner on both the cabinet & drawer before assembling to get a good alignment. Lastly, a jig saw is more practical than the trimmer u bought.

U should also do the marking of the runner on both the cabinet & drawer before assembling to get a good alignment. Lastly, a jig saw is more practical than the trimmer u bought. hiya, thanks for the tip...... it's a first time project for me so I guessed there's still alot of 'best practises' for me to find out....... Luckily, the runners were not out by much.... I have a new respect for our friendly carpenters..... they must have years of experiences to make perfect alignment all the time... I need the trimmer to trim those irritating laminate and would be good to carve out the grooves for the drawer bottom..... yup, the jig saw was the first thing I bought (well, not exactly, everyone starts with a drill). you sound like a professional at this...... what's your vocation ? oh yah... 1 more question to add..... do people normally laminate to the board, then fix to them together ? or fix them up (like what I do) and then do the lamination ? right now I'm using 2" screws to secure board to board. If I do the laminate first, then I would need to use glue and those short wooden pegs ? I think what my cabinet maker did was to pre assembly and laminate them, bring to my house, and do final round of lamination for the edges where these pre-fab pieces are joined together....

gladyslim 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I'm a maid without pay. , currently still looking for job. I love DIY and maintenance work like trouble shooting phone, fax machine, copier, fan and most of the power tools - applying some of the knowledge gain while working in the electronics manufacturing sector for some yrs. From my working experiences in the furniture manufacuring sector, I more or less know some basic woodwork. In carpentry work, the front panel of the drawer is normally laminated then screw together - from the inside of the drawer.
