ReplyDeleteMighty proud of you, too!! ((Ripping wood scares me!))
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! would be the perfect drawer for lids!
ReplyDeleteIs there a pic somewhere of what it looks like finished with the drawerclosed? Does it look odd to have one very small drawer on one cabinet (or maybe you added to multiple cabinets?)
The top photo is the finished product with the drawer closed. You can't detect at all that the toe kick is in fact a very small drawer.
Deletetotally completely awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a great idea for hiding valubles under a Master Bath vanity. Whatcha think?
ReplyDeleteIt is really important that my wife never see this. It would cut seriously into my play time.
ReplyDeleteActually, this is great. Besides the obvious extra storage, it is a better place in a lot of ways than a hidden safe, since no one will ever think to look there unless they yank the draw above it out totally.
Thanks! (I think.)

DeleteThey would NOT see it even if they yanked the drawer above it out. That drawer has a solid bottom underneath it that is part of the cabinet. See picture 3 and 4?

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea and I'm going to get my husband to install these when we have our kitchen redone in a few weeks time. I have a question though...for a 30 inch cabinet, could you use a 30 in drawer instead of a 24 inch one? In your case, the drawer would have a width of 28 1/4 inches and your cabinet has an interior width of 28 1/2 so there would need to be some sort of support of about 1/8 on either side. Is there something I am missing? It would give an extra 6 inches of drawer width which would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! It is definitely easier when done on new cabinets. If I had to do this on existing cabinets I would explore first to see if I could easily pull the toe-kicks off. If I were not able to remove them I would drill hole in the toe-kick, then look around with a flash light at the structure. Depending on how they were constructed you could add the hidden drawer. You might have provide some new finished toe-kick material. To maximize the space you could also make your own drawers for custom sizing or order drawers made to fit. I discuss measuring for and how to make drawers on my site http://www.mywoodworkingtutor.com
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant! What did you use to attach the thin toekick board to the drawer front? screws? I know that the plythe is not very thick, and wouldn't want a screw popping out. I'm redoing a kitchen and I totally want one of these in there :)
ReplyDeleteVery useful guide. Toekick drawer is an excellent furniture addition.

Good job on improvising a toe kick drawer. I like how you simplified the steps so that anyone, even a child, can do it. Another thing, it would be a good idea to remove the handle of the drawer. This way, you can keep valuable kitchen tools secured from your kids and visitors.

Better info on your blog than what I have seen so far elsewhere. Thanks for sharing and... Keep up the good work. I know from experience it's not always easy! :-).
ReplyDeleteIt’s a good idea to remove the handle of the drawer, Lara. It would totally be the right place to hide all your sharp kitchen utensils and some of your important things as well.

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that you could add the kind of gizmo (senior moment here) whereby the drawer or door opens when you press it. Wouldn't that work here instead of a handle, then it would REALLY be a 'secret drawer'. If you're a woman, then I commend you for knowing how and figuring out how, what and where to do things. You go girl!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice post, thanks for sharing the information. Keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteNice I also share with you something hope this helpful for you my friends. Here’s a great design tip for kitchens – the stove/cooking area, sink, and fridge are best when they form the three corners of a triangle. This works for both big and small kitchens. This makes it easy to maneuver around the kitchen because you go from point A to point B to point C easier. Preparing and cooking food becomes easier and unencumbered. It’s also logical layout from an electricity and plumbing standpoint because this would keep gas lines and water pipes away from each other.
