Shop-Made Drawer Pulls
I ve built several storage cabinets with a number of drawers to help
organize small pieces of hardware and other items. The problem
was I didn't want to buy a separate pull for each drawer. Plus, I
wanted an easy way to know exactly what was inside without
having to open the drawer. To solve both these problems, I made
drawer pulls that double as label holders, as you can see in the photo
at right.
Each pull begins as a scrap two-by that s cut to the desired length,
as you can see in Figure 1. (My pulls were 2" long). But to form the
recess for the label safely, it s best to use extra-wide pieces.
The recess is made in two steps. Start
by routing a shallow groove in the
edge of the workpiece, as shown in
Figure 1. Then, to create slots that
"trap" the label, use a bandsaw to cut
two thin kerfs in the corners of the
groove (Figure 2 and detail at lower
right).
To complete each pull, just rip off a
narrow strip. Then screw it in place.
Have a nice weekend,
